I
accused, yawning.
    “Did you not sleep enough?” She always
avoided questions I desperately wanted answers for.
    “Don’t do that, Lee. Don’t tell me it’s more
frat guys?” I scoffed, rolling my eyes.
    “Maybe,” she shrugged, picking up the pink
highlighter and fake studying.
    I flopped down on the couch she leaned
against from her seat in the floor, rubbing my face vigorously with my hand.
“Come on, I told you I’m not interested in dating.” I was practically begging
at this point. After six months of her nagging, enough was enough.
    “I’m not setting you up, Korah ,”
she stated, dropping the marker and angling her body to face me. Her shiny blue
eyes implored in a loving by determined way. “You don’t get out enough. I feel
like you’re stuck in this hole…I worry about you. You’re basically my little
sister, and it hurts me to see you like this. You mope around, refusing to give
any guys a chance…”
    I interrupted, “If they weren’t losers or
assholes, I’d give them more of a chance.”
    “ Korah ,” she
pleaded, taking my hand in hers. “You haven’t been the same since Christopher.
And I get it, totally, but you can’t withhold trust forever. Some time, at some
point, you have to give someone a chance.”
    “No, I don’t,” I huffed. Her words were
correct, but I wasn’t ready. I couldn’t forget what he did to me, all the
trauma I endured. Trusting men was too risky.
    “Then will you go for me? Be my date?” she
smiled. Her lower lip twitched, and I knew she would give me the pout if I
didn’t agree.
    “Fine! But I’m not
going for guys. I’m not dating anyone. I’m not even dancing with anyone,” I
warned.
    She squealed, a high pitched sound that stung
my eardrums. “You are going to have so much fun! Go, go, go . Get ready! We are leaving after
I get us some breakfast,” she instructed, snatching her keys off the table.
“I’ll be back in a few!”
    I sat there, glaring at the door, for longer
than I should have. She meant well, I knew, but that didn’t stop the sinking
feeling in my gut. Halloween was just days away…and this was so much more than
a party. Something was going down. I didn’t know if she planned it or not, but
I knew more than dancing and haunted houses would be happening on Halloween.

Chapter Two-Dane Davidson
          She
lay beneath me, panting and writhing from pleasure. I couldn’t remember her
name only that her breasts were double D’s, her hips large enough to grab, and
her body willing and able to take mine. I buried my face in her shoulder, not
wanting to see hers. Seeing their faces made it real. I didn’t want to think of
the feelings or the person, just the body and relief I desperately sought.
    I grew closer to release, finally lifting my
face and pressing my lips to hers. They always liked it when I kissed them
right before we finished. It was the least I could do. I thrust until I
exploded, her enthusiastic cries and loud in my ears as I brought her to the
brink again. I jerked my head away, not wanting her to see my lack of emotion.
          “Dane,”
she sighed breathlessly, pulling me to her by the base of my hair and
assaulting my mouth with her tongue.
          I
let her, not wanting to be a complete jackass about it all. Did I care about
her? No. Did she know this? Yes…but that didn’t mean I couldn’t pretend, at
least for the duration of our romp. She pulled away, tracing my lips with her
tongue, giving me her sexiest look. She was attractive, I’d give her that, but
blondes were never my preference. This chick, whatever her name, was short,
round, and more than willing. She’d been eyeing me at our local bar for the
past two weeks, and I finally, selfishly, gave in to her advances. I knew she’d
want to go again, but I didn’t. I made it clear when we left the bar, sex and
nothing else. I hoped she wasn’t one who would beg for more.
          I
slid out, seeing disappointment cross her
