A Fighter's Desire (Gloves Off 0.5 & 0.6)(15)

Keeping his hold on my hand, he led me back up the steps toward the house, but stopped in front of the doors. “He wanted me to be his date tonight,” I told him. “I assumed you both talked it out before approaching your prospective conquests.”

Camden lowered his head and chuckled, but when he looked up I almost faltered. He had the same damn hypnotic blue eyes and smile as Ryley. Holy hell, they were going to kill me.

“I take it you’ve already heard, huh?”

“Yeah, it’s kind of hard not to considering you have a house full of women salivating at the chance to have sex with you two. They told me about the little game you and your brother like to play,” I replied snarkily.

Camden moved closer and tilted my chin up with his warm fingers. “You don’t sound like you’re down for a little fun. It’s sad, really. After watching you tonight, you’re the only one here that I think would be able to handle us … and enjoy it.”

Taking a deep breath, I let it out slowly and lifted my lips to his, but stopped once I could feel the heat of his breath brushing across them. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in tighter, his hard cock pressing against my stomach. I had to hand it to him and his brother; they didn’t waste any time.

“I’m going to tell you what I told your brother,” I whispered, sliding my thigh in between his legs, torturing him.

Groaning, he lowered his hands to my ass and squeezed. “Please tell me you said you’d be ours tonight. If he wants you as bad as I do then it’ll be a night you won’t forget.”

Grabbing his wrists, I pried his hands away from my ass and took a step away. “And that right there is one of the reasons why I told him no,” I admitted forcefully.

Camden lowered his arms and furrowed his brows. “So are you trying to say that’s not something you’d want? That makes no sense.”

“I didn’t say it’s not something I’d want, but you see, you make it sound like it’s a privilege to have sex with you. Haven’t you ever thought about how it might be the opposite way around? What if you were the ones lucky enough to have the one woman for the night? I’m not a one night stand kind of girl, and believe me, if I was you wouldn’t know what the hell to do with me.”

Eyes wide, his mouth dropped open, and on that last note, I opened the glass door and marched inside. The five girls that I talked to in the kitchen had all seen the interaction between me and Camden, and of course, I was met with lethal stares as I walked past.

“Don’t worry, ladies, he’s still up for grabs,” I said in passing as I headed toward the front door.

Gabriella caught up to me and laughed. “Oh my God, Ash, you should’ve seen his face when you walked off. Everyone was watching you two, and even Ryley was speechless when he saw you walk away. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.”

“Yeah, well, I can’t say that walking away was the best option. Now I’m going to wonder for the rest of my life what it would’ve been like to be with them. I’ll admit, I wanted to give in.”

Wrapping her arm around my waist, Gabriella walked me out the front door and down to her car. “I think you might be the only female in existence that’s turned them down, Ash. It was a smart move, though, and I have to say that you definitely put them in their place tonight.”

I laughed and squeezed her tight. “You’re damn right I did, and it felt so freaking good, too.”

Now I wonder what desperate female they’ll pick tonight since I turned them down.

Once we got to the car and backed out of the driveway, I took one last look at Ryley and Camden’s home, wishing deep down that I could’ve gotten a small sample of what it would’ve been like to be with them. I guess I’ll never know, but I can always fantasize. Hopefully, we had a pack of batteries at the apartment … because I was going to need them.





THE WEEKEND WAS over and it was time to get my mind back into books and school. That was easier said than done considering I’d been reading the same page over and over. Stop thinking about them, Ash.

No more daydreaming about the dimples in their cheeks when they smiled, the way they smelled, or the way their blue eyes heated up every time they saw you. Oh whatever, Ashleigh, I scolded myself. It was probably the way they looked at every girl just to draw them in.

I didn’t even realize that class was over until Gabriella shook me by the shoulders and hollered in my ear, making me jump. “Wake up, girl! Class is over.”

The room was empty.

“You got it bad, you know that? Maybe you should’ve let the Twins of Terror rock your world this weekend,” she teased.

Rolling my eyes, I packed up my books and followed her out of the room. “Yeah, well, it’s too late now.”

“I’m sure if you called them they’d be up for it,” she chuckled.

Shaking my head, I snorted. “Screw that.”

It was lunch time, so we walked outside to our favorite spot on campus underneath the giant black oak tree where Colin and Bradley sat waiting on us. Both guys were perfectly tanned and shirtless, which didn’t make it easy to concentrate around them.

Every single girl that walked by couldn’t help but stare at them and give us evil looks in the process. The guys enjoyed the attention, especially Bradley who loved it even more when the girls would look at him when Gabriella was around. Unfortunately, she never seemed to care.
