I clomped down the stairs after drinking down a quarter-full bottle of whiskey that I found when I was cleaning up my newly decorated room. I sucked it down in a few gulps and tossed the empty bottle into the trash with the mangled blinds and broken poster frame. My mood and patience started leveling out somewhat after the destructive episode. Breaking things always helped me feel a little better.

Once the slight buzz kicked in, too, I felt like the calmer version of myself again.

At least until I saw Anna staring me down over the top of her e-reader.

"What are you looking at?" I scowled back.

"The picture-perfect embodiment of an asshole." She muttered, turning her head back down to what she was reading.

"You're fucking hilarious," I grumbled while looking around the living room for my girl.

"What's wrong with you? You're being weird." Anna asked, shifting her eyes back up to me.

"I am not. Where's Riley?" I tried to sound casual as I asked.

"She's still sleeping."

"How is she doing?" The question tumbled out of my mouth clumsily as I looked back up the stairs.

I was still borderline pissed off at her, but part of me was also worried she was still sick. The whole mixture of globbed-up emotions I felt for her were confusing me.

Anna's head snapped up in my direction and she gave me a puzzled look. She was already pondering my motives in her standard pinched-bitch glare. Her desire to always stick her nose into my business was grating against my moderately improved mood.

"I told you she is sleeping, Ezra. Why do you care?" Anna pulled her eyebrows together.

"I don't. She just looked sick earlier. Has anyone checked on her?" I asked.

"Riley will be fine. She always hibernates after she's had too much to drink." JD's head emerged from the kitchen. He was sluffing off Riley's condition like it wasn't a big deal. If he knew it was because she took that pill, maybe he would have been a little more sympathetic or concerned about her as much as I was.

"Let's go and get back before people start showing up." Mark marched out from the kitchen and motioned for JD to follow him.

"Mark and I are going to go on a supply run. Come with us. Anna is going to stay behind to keep an eye on Riley since Aiden and Brynn decided to lock themselves in his room all afternoon."

Anna gave JD that 'I'll burn your house down with a smile' typical girlfriend glower. She was obviously being forced to go along with the plan and wasn't thrilled about being left behind. JD wasn't ever even allowed to take a dump without her getting angry with him.

Luckily for her, I was such a nice guy today.

"I can stay and watch the house if Anna wants to go." I scratched my head and avoided looking JD in the eye as I offered.

"Just come with us. We won't be gone too long. If you behave, I'll buy you a candy bar at the liquor store." Mark added to attempt to convince me.

"I don't feel like going out and I need to take a shower. I fucking stink." I declined with the first explanation I could come up with. It wasn't too far off base. I had washed my body up quickly before coming down the stairs because I had Riley's scent all over me, but I really could stand to get an actual shower today.

"I smell too. We can be twinsies. The ladies will be beating the door down over our sexy man perfume. Tell him how hot the stench is, Anna." Mark grinned.

"Uh, no." Anna cringed. "But I will go with you guys to the store since Ezra is staying behind. I wanted to buy some of that whipped cream flavored stuff we had a few nights ago."

Anna threw her e-reader down on the coffee table and stood up quickly. She latched herself around JD's back like a poisonous fungus. JD's body language changed from excited frat guy to boyfriend mode the second her touch began siphoning the life from him.

"If Riley wakes up, tell her that Anna left her some of her stuff out in case she wants to get cleaned up before the party," JD added as the three of them made their way to the front door.

I nodded and turned around to run back upstairs before the screen door even latched.

I ran into my room and opened the nightstand to grab some condoms out to stash in the bathroom.  I wasn't kidding about the shower, but it sounded like a golden opportunity to get more naked time with Riley. If things escalated the way I thought they could, I didn't want to end up back down at the pharmacy later tonight.

Inside the bathroom, there was a pile of clothes sitting next to Riley's bag. I picked up the scrap of red cloth on top of the pile and held it up to examine it. I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The black things underneath ended up being some sort of stretchy pants with a slight sheen to them. That must mean the red thing was supposed to be the shirt Anna picked out for her.

No matter how I turned it, it didn't make any sense to me.

Anna was going to regret her choice. If JD didn't get to her first, I would be more than willing to sub in and take over. Even though I would love to see Riley in the barely-there, skin-tight clothing, I didn't want anyone else to get a chance to look at her body. It wasn't anyone else's to look at. 

I unzipped Riley's bag to see what else she had in there for clothing options.  There was a neatly-folded, silky set of thin matching pajamas at the bottom and a pair of miniature black panties.  She definitely didn't pack to stay long and the pajamas didn't look any more appropriate than the other outfit. I put everything back and rezipped the bag.

Nothing she had in there would be useful tonight.

I groaned, realizing how hard it would be to keep attention away from her in that outfit, but I would have to figure it out one way or another.  I swear every time I was with her, I had to be ready to fight someone.

Tonight wasn't going to be any different.

I deposited the foil wrappers in one of the vanity's drawers and grabbed her almost empty bag to take back to my room.  I dropped it quickly on my dresser and strolled next door to JD's room to wake her up.

The door was shut, but I was hoping it wasn't locked or I would have to break it down to get to her. I jiggled the doorknob and sighed in relief when it turned easily in my hand.

In the opposite corner of the room, Riley was sprawled out like a naughty little nymph on the bed. Her hair was all over the place in that perfectly placed way that only existed in movies. There was no trace of the worry or anxiety that she carried earlier on her face as she slept.

She was beyond captivating to the point I was starting to doubt that she was even real.

I went over to the bed and sat down on the edge. After seeing her so peaceful in a deep sleep, I didn't want to wake her up, but we also didn't have much time.  We possibly had an hour before JD and crew would get back.  I had to take advantage of every opportunity I had with her.

Riley began shifting when I placed my hand on her cheek and swiped the shorter hairs that were covering the side of her face. I stuck them back behind her ear so they wouldn't bother her when she woke up.

"How are you feeling, beautiful?" I cooed at her in a low, soft voice.

"Mmmm, not awake." She smiled playfully with her eyes closed.

It was time to change that.

I leaned down to that spot on her neck that made her lose her mind. I placed my mouth over it and sucked and bit at her skin. She squirmed underneath me in response. If I had a condom with me right now, she would be getting torn apart before I even let her get up.  I didn't even care if she was sleeping in JD's bed. 

Riley's eyes jerked open in surprise and she turned to meet my eyes. I grinned down at her. Her cheeks were already flushed with arousal and embarrassment.

"Do you want to take a shower? Anna left some of her clothes out so you could get cleaned up and change. I only saw pajamas in your bag and figured you didn't want to wear those to the party."

"I'm not sure if they will fit." She said reluctantly. I hated that she seemed to always put herself down. Anna might have been taller and thinner than her, but Riley was a goddess. There was not one single thing I would change about her voluptuous body. Everything was in all the right places and it was so fucking soft.

In a way, I was glad she didn't know how gorgeous she was.  She wouldn't be the same girl if she did.

"You should be good. It was some kind of stretchy leggy things. If the shirt doesn't work, then you can just borrow one of mine again. She has some girl stuff in our bathroom. She keeps here when she stays over." I tried to put her mind at ease. I wouldn't mind if the shirt didn't fit or she chose not to wear it. Having her in my t-shirt would claim her as mine for any other guy who looked her way.

"So, all the girl stuff is from Anna and not from one of your other girls?" Riley responded. 

"Well, one of them might have left a toothbrush if you want to borrow it," I answered back sarcastically.

Her little jab was absurd. None of the girls I hooked up with were ever allowed to stay long enough to leave anything behind. Mia was the only one who was bold enough to try.  She made it a habit to leave an excuse to come back, but I would just throw whatever it was out and tell her to learn to keep track of her shit. Riley had more stuff stashed in my room right now than any other girl ever had.

"How many girls are you sleeping with?" She frowned.

"Well, there's Rachel, Stephanie, Emma, Sophie. Oh, Maddie and her twin sister Maisie." I started to list off every girl name I could think of just to get a rise out of her.

Riley's face dropped with every name I uttered. She wanted to dish it out, but my insecure girl definitely couldn't take it. She threw a little tantrum, kicked the blankets, and was up on her feet and stomping towards the bathroom. I got up and casually followed behind the little volatile bundle of energy. She stepped inside the bathroom and started to slam the door on my face before I could get inside.

I wedged my foot between the door and wall before she could get it closed. Pain shot up my bare foot as she slammed the door twice, trying to get it closed.

"What are you doing?" She hissed as she looked down at my stinging foot.

"Taking a shower." I grinned.

"Have you lost your mind?" She whisper-yelled at me.

"I've seen you naked before Riley, have you forgotten already? I know I definitely haven't forgotten." I looked over every delicious curve of her body. She was still braless with no panties on.

Riley was so unbelievably sexy.

"People are in the house, Ezra and besides, you should just call one of your other girls to get naked for you." She tried to argue with me.

I enjoyed it when she battled with me. Getting her all worked up was such a huge turn-on.

"JD and Anna went with Mark to get supplies. We have plenty of time." I scoffed.

There was no way she was going to talk me out of doing this right now.

"Ezra, other girls. Plural form of girl. You understand what I am saying?" She was stuck on her insecurities again.

"There is absolutely no one else." I smiled at her. It was true; no other girl could hold my attention right now—only this irrational, moody one in front of me.

"But you said all those names and JD said..." I placed my hand up to her lips to quiet her before she made herself even more upset.

She was done talking. It was my turn.

"Riley, I was joking with you. I haven't been with anyone else since that night you slept in my bed. Do you think I really want to call some other girl when the most beautiful, perfect one is standing right in front of me?" My tongue darted out as I stared down at her full breasts. I meant every word. She was the only girl I wanted.

Riley chewed on her lip as she thought over what I said. She was caving in. Deep down, she knew she wanted me again too. I smiled as I watched the slow burn of lust darken her bright eyes. She was still hesitant, but I was winning.

I made my move to seal the deal.

"If we're quick, no one will ever know." I stepped closer to her body to nudge her off the cliff.

She stepped out past me and looked up and down the hallway like she was checking to make sure I wasn't lying. She grabbed the bottom of my shirt and pulled me into the bathroom.

She skillfully locked the door with one hand and shoved me back into the sink with the other. She was a complete animal, ripping my shirt off over my head before I had time to react.  Her hands hungrily ran up and down my torso until she found the music notes near my waistband.

I pulled her head up to mine and forced my mouth against hers. She shoved her hand inside my pants and began jerking me off immediately. She whined into me as she aggressively pumped her hand up and down. Her grip on me was the right amount of firm and aggressive. She moved her hand in ways I could never even imagine. 

I slipped my hand into her hair and pulled her head back from mine. I watched her green eyes glaze over as she gripped me so sweetly. Even though she enjoyed playing with my dick in her hand, I wasn't going to let her get me off like this.

It was time for her to show me what her mouth could do.

"Take your clothes off and get on your knees," I commanded.
