Ty and Nataca tried to engage in small talk as they hurriedly walked back to the House, but it was useless; they both knew they had just one thing on their mind.
As they entered the house, several heads registered who was back, calling out, "Hey Ty!" One of the guys yelled out, "Who's your friend?" "Later, man!" was the response.
They rushed up the wide wooden staircase and finally made it to his room.
Ty swung the door open; his roommate Eric was on the bed, reading a book.
"Hey, dude, how ya doing?" Ty asked rapidly. "This is Nataca... mind if we have a few minutes?" That was shorthand for get the fuck out of here, man, and don't come back till the door's open.
"No prob," Eric responded, giving a quick once-over of his roomie's friend. He thought but didn't say, looks like she could handle two at once. He grabbed his keys and backpack and was out the door, shutting it behind him.
Ty looked at his lover hungrily; he was tempted to remove her clothes just then.
But first, their bodies met, engaged in a furious kiss.
Aaron looked at her closely, taking in every detail. He was instantly attracted, and hoped that she would be, too. But one never knew.
"Wonderful to meet you, Alex..." His voice trailed off slightly; it seemed odd calling anyone so lovely a name that could also be a guy's name. "Alexandra," he corrected himself. He was going to treat her like a lady... at least until he found what she liked.
"What brings you to Beta? Are you searching for anyone in particular?" he asked. His hand brushed against hers as his grip relaxed.
Mark wasn't sure if he'd get slapped or rebuked or hugged after slapping Rylee's butt. It was an entirely innocent gesture... but given the chemistry between them and how awkward things had gotten at the diner, he wasn't sure anymore.
"I... I'm sorry, Rylee... I shouldn't have..."
He was deeply embarrassed.
"Maybe this was... a bad idea..."
He wanted to hold her, pulling her close, wrapping her in his arms. But he didn't dare.
Andy, surprisingly, smiled broadly at her answer.
"Dang! I've fallen for a fuckin' felon!" he announced proudly, pleased with his illiteration.
He pulled closer, his hand going higher. He was hugely drawn to this girl... and the attraction was growing stronger with all he learned about her. His past had seemed so... tame. It felt exhilirating just to be sitting with someone who had lived on the wild side.
He couldn't help but ask... his mind going in a hundred directions.
"Did you serve time? What happened? Tell me about it! Is that's why you're at State?"
Unconsciously, his hand moved further up her thigh.
