thank God not only for making such a perfect human specimen, but also for sending him my way. âBecause everyone in this room has very vivid pictures in their heads.â
âThey better not,â Ryan muttered.
Liamâs expression darkened and he almost looked ashamed. Dammit! Why did Ryan have to be such a buzzkill all the time? Liam turned away and when I rolled my eyes, the irritation was real.
Everyone was waiting for a response, so I turned to Annie to see how she felt about it. Her cheeks were still flushed, but I didnât think it was from embarrassment. She seemed a little buzzed, which would account for her shrugging like it was no big deal.
I took that as an A-okay.
âAnnie and I have a few things we want to do before our freshman year is over, thatâs all,â I said elusively, darting a look Liamâs way. âThings weâve never done before.â
âSounds fun,â Chris said. âLike what?â
âWell, some of them are personal.â I kept my eyes on Liam and arched an eyebrow. He leaned forward. Was it my imagination, or did he look a little excited by that? âAnd some are small thingsâlike Annie getting her ears pierced today.â
âYou didnât have your ears pierced?â Amber was behind the couch, and she leaned over so her tits were right in Ryanâs face. She could smother a man with those things. âI have so many holes in my body, Iâve lost count.â
Was she serious? She left herself wide open for that one. âAnd theyâre all very well used,â I said, just loud enough for her to hear.
Amber straightened up so fast her boobs bounced. I was shocked they didnât knock her over. âBitch, say that again.â
My hands clenched into fists and my face got about ten degrees hotter, but before I could do anything, Ryan was on his feet in front of me. âHey! Thatâs enough, Amber.â
âIâm out of here.â Amberâs face puckered up so much she looked like one of those really wrinkly little dogs.
A satisfied smile curled up my lips, but it disappeared when Liam got to his feet and flashed Amber an adorable grin. âGoing to a pub?â
âYeah.â Amberâs irritation was gone in the blink of an eye. She leaned closer to Liam. Probably so he could see down her shirt even better.
Liam motioned toward the door. âAllow me to escort you. Wouldnât want you to get lost.â
Every ounce of anger inside me melted away like the polar icecaps. Damn Amber and her ridiculous boobs. And damn Liam for thinking something so ridiculous was hot!
He opened the door and swept his arm dramatically toward the hall. Amberâs hips swayed as she walked past him, and his eyes stroked every curve of her body. I wanted to scream. Seriously? That was the kind of trash he was interested in? I couldnât believe it. Talk about not living up to my expectations!
Liam turned and wiggled his eyebrows at Ryan. âIâll punish her for you, mate.â
The door shut and Ryan grinned. He shook his head like he couldnât believe that had just happened. âSon of a bitch.â
I tilted my beer up to my lips and gulped the rest down. So much for making any progress with Liam tonight.
âBack to this stuff you want to do,â Ryan said. âWhat kind of stuff?â
I worked on keeping my tone even as I waved my bottle through the air. âOh you know. Things like get a guyâs number at a bar, get a tattoo, go skinny-dipping.â
Ryan shook his head like he thought I was the dumbest person in the world, but Chris sat up straighter. His eyes went over Annie. Geez, could you be any more obvious, you perv?
âWe can take care of that skinny-dipping thing right now,â Mitch said. âYou got a shower, right, Ryan?â
Ryan looked like he was on the verge of hitting Mitch. âThat isnât skinny-dipping.â
Mitch gave me a wink
