How We Lived (Entangled Embrace)
Bear. I totally meant Bear. I wished he’d act like he wanted me. Saying it wasn’t cutting it anymore. Drunk Frat Boy grazed his fingertips from my shoulders to my hips before he pressed himself against me. He was hard.
    Holy crap. I had made this boy hard. And I’d only been dancing with him for like, a minute.
    Desire bloomed in my stomach. I pushed back against him and he moaned before licking my earlobe, which felt a little weird. I twisted to face him once again and placed my arms around his neck. He lowered his mouth and brushed his lips over mine. When I did the same back, he practically fell on me and shoved his tongue into my mouth, his needy lips pressed to mine. The front of his jeans tented as he rubbed against me.
    I felt alive.
    He broke away and moved his hands to the nape of my neck. “God, you are so fucking hot.”
    Holy. Crap. Not just hot, but fucking hot. That was good. I ran my fingers across his shirt. He was muscly, but not as muscly as Bear or Chase.
    He smiled, a dimple in his cheek. “Like what you feel?”
    I did like. I answered with another kiss, then he led me off to the side and to the stairs Em’s boyfriend had dragged her up not long ago. He opened a door, ushered me in, and pressed me against the other side. His knee maneuvered between my legs.
    I gasped. This was quick. This was…soon. I didn’t know how I felt about it, but this was what I wanted. Escape. Freedom. Feeling.
    “Oh fuck, if you keep making noises like that, I won’t last,” he groaned.
    He yanked my shirt up and buried his head in my chest, leaving a trail of wet kisses over my bra. He tugged on my shirt again, forcing my hands in the air so he could pull it off. I snaked my hands under his shirt, but then he yanked that off, too.
    I didn’t know how I knew to do this, but everything I did seemed right because once his jeans hit the floor, he slid his hands all over me. In my hair, on my butt, lifting me and carrying me until my back hit the mattress. Everything felt as awesome as I’d imagined. He acted as if he couldn’t get enough of me. It’s what I’d wanted Bear to do.
    He leaned over and parted my legs with his knee while his hand slowly made its way over my stomach to the top of my jeans.
    “Wait,” I gasped between kisses.
    He pulled away. “What? What’s wrong?” He looked horrified I’d tell him to stop.
    The guy needed me. I could feel it through his boxers. I didn’t want to disappoint him. “Protection?”
    He flirted with the top of my jeans and grinned before pecking me on the nose. He reached inside the top drawer of the stand next to the bed, felt around, then came back empty. “Shit. I’ll be right back.”
    I lay still for a little while until the whole world started to spin. And yet, despite the spinning, I could actually think . Well enough to know this was a horrible idea, anyway. I reached in my pocket for my phone and scrolled. I still had Chase’s number if it hadn’t changed.
    He answered after the first ring. “What’s wrong?”
    The concern in his voice made me tear up. “Why do you think something’s wrong?”
    “It’s one in the morning, Kels. You also haven’t called my phone in forever.”
    “Oh.” That was actually some good investigation skills. I giggled.
    “You’re drunk.”
    “Mmm-hmm. And…” I thought for a second. “I’m about to do something really stupid. Like, really stupid. So if you would be so awesome as to come to Sigma Alpha to pick me up, I’d be really happy.” There. That sounded like I wasn’t drunk at all.
    Complete silence, then he said, “You’re shit-faced.”
    “Hmm. Well—”
    “Fuck.”
    The dial tone buzzed in my ear. Chase hung up on me. Jerk.
    I slipped my phone back into my pocket and glanced around the room. It was kind of messy, which grossed me out. It was messy, unknown, not like Chase’s room had been messy, but known.
    What was I doing hooking up with a random guy? This wasn’t me. I needed to get out of
