Kalli
Perkins makes it a habit of shutting her mouth, except to please a guy.
She would say she goes off like a starved animal in bed, but
Kalli doesn’t have sex in beds. She does it in hallways, in parks, in
parties. She comes as a package deal.
Great sex. No strings attached. Never alone together; always in public.
One night at a party, Kalli makes a bet with her friend, Nate, that could change everything. But she didn’t count on him. Nate’s very capable of satisfying her, not only under her clothes, but in her heart, too.
She just doesn’t know it yet.

Excerpt
“Oh,”
Nate says, remembering something, “back on the dance floor you were pissed off
about my ass slapping? You love when I slap your ass.”
“Just—”
I sigh. “You know that Donovan Xander guy at uni?” Nate nods. “Spoke more than
a handful of words to him, finally, and he wanted to take me to his room.” I
explain our couch adventures, too.
Nate nods and looks down.
I
get it, I do. It’s awkward talking about my issues. Say the wrong thing and I
blow up, and I don’t even mean to. Nate can grill me about almost anything but
that.
He
tips his head back and sculls the rest of his drink. He sets his hands on his
thighs—those glorious muscles that look like they want to rip out of those
khaki shorts.
He
says, “If I had to fuck you, Kall Bell, I’d be proud to do you on the couch.”
“Aw,”
I sigh dramatically. “What a compliment.”
“Really.”
He
reaches for either side of my chair and drags it so close I have to open my
knees so our legs scissor together. This close I can smell his scent. I lean in
to his chest and pull down the collar. His theory on spraying cologne is great.
When I kiss Nate’s neck I don’t lick a tongueful of putrid cologne, like I did
with Donovan. I taste his scent. Nate sprays a little lower, just at the top of
his chest.
“I
love when you wear Calvin Klein.”
He
works his jaw and it’s so damn distracting I can’t tell what part of my body
he’s staring at, until he takes my gaze. Then I know. Me, and just me.
“Well
if you want to have sex with me just say the word.”
“Word,”
I say, as quick as I can.
“Not
tonight,” he mumbles so low I can barely hear above the thumping music and
ridiculous squealing girls.
“Why?”
I
admit, I haven’t done more than make out with Nate for one specific reason. I
like guys, and Nate is one of the damn finest specimens of male there ever was.
He’s the guy you dream of when you picture your perfect boyfriend, body and
mind. All his exes say that, usually after they’ve dumped him for someone newer
or richer. He just cares so much.
He’s a lover, not a fucker, and I can’t risk ruining our little threesome
friendship group, him, Scout and I. They’re my world.
“This
is my fifth can.”
“Oh.”
“And,”
he adds, “that was my third tequila shot.”
I
burst out laughing. Alcohol really makes me too bold. “You can’t get it up.”
“Well
…”
“I
can make you.”
Even
with my shit for brains when it comes to being sensible I can’t stop this time,
unlike how Nate and I both usually know where to back off when we’re making
out. I haven’t even begun that and I’m quivering with the need to jump his
bones. I’m not the type to allow myself to look weak, but I hate what Donovan
did to me before, to let those stupid thoughts from years ago control me. They
won’t. I won’t allow it to take over me again.
Nate
rolls the empty can to the side and presses his lips into a line, looking
serious. He’s trying really hard not to laugh.
“I’m
a guy. I know how my body works. You girls think it’s some robot worked by a
remote. Seriously, I’m so horny with you in that skirt and still can’t get it
to do that.” He gestures to me from head to toe. “And even you, the hottest
girl at this party, cannot change that fact.”
“I
bet I can.”
Nate
opens his mouth to banter back, but I get on my knees and shush him with a
finger to his lips. He’s either shocked or turned on because I feel his breath
shudder under the finger pressed to him.
I
trail that finger down his chest and then reach under his shirt to rake my
nails down his chest. He shudders twice in the span from his pecs to his pants line.
I
bite my lip and wink, a silent promise I’ll win. Looking around, we’re cut off
by enough darkness and space from other clumps of people chatting or lazing
around, but still, it’s risky. I nudge him back into a shadow and he drags the
chair back a few feet. We’re still not completely out of sight. And I love that
thrill of power.
Nate
settles into the chair, eyeing me, waiting for my next move. I settle back on
my heels, thrusting his knees apart to sit inside the gap. I know he likes
naughty, so while I get his shorts undone I mouth fuck you, grinning at his lips. All he does is look through me, in
some trance or dream, fluttering his eyelids and unconsciously thrusting his
hips at my fingers undoing his pants. When I open his fly, his
almost-fully-erect cock is painfully obvious. I want it so bad it hurts waiting
to pull it over the elastic.
Holding
his gaze, I stick my finger in my mouth and suck it. I trail my finger, wet
with my saliva, down the length of him, and what do you know? He springs to
full length, although he was damn close before. I cover his cock with my mouth
and tug a couple of times with my lips, and then circle him with my tongue.
I
feel his hands on either side of my head, and before I start I look up at him
through my hair, with him still occupying my mouth. I do it because I know it
looks slutty and that it’s exactly what Nate is turned on by.
I’ve
known Nate for too many years, and I know many things about how he thinks, but
he sums this up pretty well. “Fuck, Kalli.”
He
sits there with his trembling thighs touching the sides of my arms and his
hands trying to push through his drunken state to find my head and pat me
lovingly or push me down, or something that will show how excited he is.
And
then I plunge down. I deep throat his length. There’s enough quiet to hear a
soft sound, so I take him as far as I can go and make a gagging noise. I know
my gag reflex won’t actually work, so I gag myself again, both times receiving the
prize of Nate shuddering in a breath and moaning.
“Don’t,”
he warns.
“It’s
okay,” I say, “I can’t stop fucking you with my mouth, not even to breathe
properly.”
To
that he shuts up. I get off even more when I hear the track change and people
cheer, knowing we’re doing this so close to getting caught.
When
I first feel him pulsing beneath my tongue, I pull away. His frantic hands grab
to find my head and push down to save the climax.
But
I say, “Say it.”
He
looks confused for a moment since this isn’t at all what’s on his mind, but
then he remembers and replies, “You can. You can get me up drunk.”
At that I start again, and even in this state I
make him pulsate, then blow in my mouth with a few sucks and tugs taking his
length.
