finding a way to include me in a toast. They’re all really sweet. Hot, each a little crazy in their own way, but sweet.”
Flopping onto the coral futon that used to live in their dorm room, Amanda asked, “Who’s your favorite? Remember on pledge night when we ranked them in order that we wanted to sleep with them? Is Cam still number one for you?”
“That’s the thing.” Even though she knew she was alone, Kylie’s gaze darted to the bathroom door. She’d been dying to tell the big news, but hadn’t been able to find the privacy to share. No way could she have had this conversation in her bunk with Cam just a curtain away. She propped the iPad against her knees and leaned in close, hands cupping her mouth. “I did it.”
“What? Re-ranked them?”
“No. I did Cam.”
The picture skewed sideways, followed by a muffled thud that Kylie interpreted as Amanda’s iPad falling to the floor. A moment later, Amanda followed it to the carpet. “Omigod. Omigod!” she screeched.
“Shhh. Keep it down. Remember, I’m in a bathroom. It’s echo-y.”
Propped on her elbows, Amanda scowled at the camera. “Don’t toy with me, Kylie. There’s no joking about something as awesome as sleeping with a celebrity.”
“I’m not joking.”
“Swear it on our sisterhood in Gamma Delta Phi.”
Kylie rolled her eyes. She enjoyed her time in the sorority, but was ready to move on. Getting Amanda to let go of all things pink and brown would probably be a bit tougher. “I think there’s probably a bylaw about not using the bonds of sisterhood for sex-swearing.”
“You really slept with a famous rocker?”
“Not because he’s famous.”
“Right.” Amanda snorted. Which was not at all cute with how close she was to the screen. “Cam Watson being rich, famous and the hottest hunk you’ve ever met in person had nothing to do with it.”
“The hotness was a factor,” she admitted. Impossible to deny the obvious. However, it was also like saying Kylie scored a 2150 on the SAT simply because she’d answered question number seventeen correctly. “But I didn’t set out to sleep with the first rich and famous rock star I could get my hands on. I did it with Cam. He’s the one that I wanted. With or without all that other stuff.”
“Omigod. Omigod! Are you guys dating? Have you fallen for him? Is it serious?”
Kylie put a finger to her lips. “Whoa. Seriously. This is all very secret. Super secret. The rest of his band can’t find out. Nobody can find out.”
“Why not? Cam Watson would be lucky to snare you.”
“Thanks. But he…” Kylie trailed off. Cam’s confession was beyond personal. She trusted Amanda with her life. She just couldn’t risk sharing Cam’s secret with her BFF. It was his story to tell, and his alone. “Some bad things went down with a woman he dated. Riptide as a whole got caught in the crossfire. Jake and Jones don’t want him mixing business with dating.”
“So you’re sneaking around? Having secret trysts?” Amanda fanned herself and blew out a long breath. “That’s super hot.”
“It kind of is.” Who was she kidding? Part of her adored the excitement. The danger. The utter wrongness of being with Cam. Of having to hide in a bathroom to even talk about how much she liked him. “And it kind of isn’t. Because this isn’t just a hookup. I like him.”
“How much?”
It was stupid. It’d never work out between them. Despite that, there was only one possible answer. Kylie sighed. “I’m really falling for him. You only know Cam the rock star. I’ve gotten to know Cam as this ultraresponsible guy. He’s racked with guilt over one mistake. Doing everything he can to make up for it.”
“A tortured rock star? That’s even hotter!”
True. But the sexy cliché was far from the total of why Kylie had fallen for him. “Cam pretends to be all laid-back, and yet somehow manages to be in charge of everything at once. To pay attention to everything at once.
