pointing to his chest.
“Yes, you,” Colt barked. “Move along, son. You ain’t man enough to handle any of that.”
My mouth fell open. Caroline broke into peals of giggles. From the corner of my eye, I saw the poor guy’s cheeks redden, but he turned away and scurried into the school. The guy in the truck shook with laughter.
Colt winked— at me?— and jogged to the Corvette. Gunning the motor, he roared away.
“Dumb ass has a crush on me.” Caroline sighed. My heart stuttered, because I thought she meant Colt, but she narrowed her eyes at the younger guy’s back as he hurried through the front door. “Such a pest.”
Turning, she waved at the guy in the truck until the vehicle disappeared from sight. Stretching her legs, she sighed. I eyed her leggings and red cowboy boots. Her skirt had to be a dress code violation. “Guess we gotta go inside. If I miss any more days, I can’t graduate.”
Every step made me more aware of the sticky reside coating my inner thighs. What had I done?
The lady in the office accepted my note without question and gave Caroline’s skirt a dark look, but said nothing. Caroline smirked when we left the office. At the first hallway to the left, she slowed. “I won’t be in third period. Gotta talk to the guidance lady. I’ll see you at lunch?” I nodded. “Meet you at your locker.”
I made it to my third period class, took a seat in the back, and opened my textbook. Staring at the page while the teacher’s voice droned, I went over and over the morning in my mind.
Had to be a dream. My mother would never have loud, screaming sex when she knew two younger males and me were in the house. She just wouldn’t. And I wouldn’t masturbate when I knew my stepbrothers stood on the other side of the door. I sure as hell wouldn’t do the things I’d done with Colt. Gas or ass? I’d have laughed and told him I was going to be late if he didn’t stop horsing around.
The ache in my channel called me a liar on top of everything else I’d become.
So, how had it happened?
I couldn’t lie to myself. It happened because I wanted it to happen. The minute I’d laid eyes on my stepbrothers, I hadn’t been able to think of anything else. They were just too damn good-looking. Add that to all the fucking Dale and Mom were doing, was it any wonder I had sex on the brain?
One night real soon, I’m gonna crawl in your bed and suck those little tittles all night long .
Would it happen tonight?
I didn’t have money for lunch, but headed to my locker to meet Caroline when the bell rang. A woman stood at the end of the hallway behind the front office. “Shelby? Got a few minutes, dear?”
I recognized the guidance counselor who’d spoken with me the day I registered. “Sure.”
I took a seat in her office. She handed me a brochure for a college I’d never heard of.
“They have a scholarship competition coming up. Your transcripts finally arrived from West Mecklenburg High. After taking a look at your grades, I think you should try out.”
The college was in South Carolina and for women only. “How far away is this place?”
“Two hours. I warn you, competition will be fierce, but you’ve nothing to lose by taking the test. It’s a full ride for four years at an excellent school.”
“Where’s the test administered?”
“At the college. You’ll spend the weekend on campus. Students give up their dorm rooms to the scholarship contestants. Testing is an all day affair on Saturday, but there’s a full weekend of activities. All expenses are covered except transportation.”
“When?”
She named a date that was two weeks away. I had no interest in an all-women’s college. But a full scholarship was a dream come true. “Sign me up.”
“You might look up Caroline Masters. Maybe you girls can ride down together.”
I blinked. “Long blonde hair, dark eye makeup, red cowboy boots?”
She smiled. “That’s her.”
