EXCERPT:
After four
whiskeys, Amber’s bladder started nagging her for release. She excused herself
and made her way through the throng of people to the house on wobbly legs.
Beyond tipsy at that point, she didn’t even take note of all the visions that
dashed in and out of her head. As Amber made it to the hallway that led to the
bathroom, Tayelon walked in followed closely by Deacon. She stopped dead in her
tracks. Taye had once told her that he didn’t care much for the Greek system,
so seeing him there almost floored her. Why would he come to this particular
party? They made their way over to a group of their teammates who belonged to
the fraternity and they greeted each other with the shoulder-bump-hug thing
that guys always seem to do. She noticed Tristian was part of the group. No
doubt he’d seen her and immediately called Tayelon. Amber was buzzing, but when
Taye found her across the room, the memory of his rejection seared her heart.
She quickly changed course, making her way back to the kitchen so she could escape
to where Lucard was waiting for her outside. In her haste to get away, she
hadn’t seen Lucard standing right in her path. He gripped her by the waist,
pulling her against his body. She gazed up at him in surprise, her mouth
forming a tiny O. Lucard smirked and then looked over her shoulder. She was
sure he’d seen Taye across the room and they were locked in a stare down. Amber
tugged on his T-shirt, bringing his attention back to her.
“Another one?” Lucard asked.
“Another one?” Lucard asked.
“Ah, no more whiskey for me, thanks.” She grabbed a bottle of tequila off the
kitchen counter. “This will do, though.” She might as well try to find her way
back to the numbness that had taken over a short while ago, and cheap tequila
would do just the trick.
Amber took a swig from the bottle and scrunched her face up at the awful taste.
It was like drinking gasoline. She took another sip before handing the bottle
off to a girl in a barely-there skirt and bikini top.
Lucard chuckled at her reaction. He was leaning close to her, too close. She
could smell the alcohol on his breath. Normally, she would have been repulsed
by it, but the tequila had gone straight to her head, dulling all of her
senses—just as she’d hoped it would. She looked back over to where Tayelon
stood. He was deep in conversation with Deac. Luna had joined them but she
stood off to the side, glaring at Amber with disapproval.
“Looks like your friends aren’t too pleased with us right now.” Lucard didn’t
miss Luna’s scowl either.
“Don’t care, I’m having too much fun.” Her throat was on fire, but she ignored
it. “How about some beer?” She took a step back, and Lucard moved quickly to
stop her from toppling over.
“Whoa, I think someone has had too much to drink.” A beefy looking jock in a
Letterman jacket, with nothing underneath it but washboard abs, steadied her
before Lucard managed to grab her. He reminded her of one of those toothpaste
commercial models—with blindingly white teeth and too perfect lips. He used his
good looks to worm his way into the underwear of any girl who foolishly found
herself in his way; the many faces that flashed before her eyes were testament
to that. Amber blinked them away.
“What’s your name?” He slurred.
“She’s with me.” Lucard barked and pulled her away from the frat boy. “Did you
eat anything today?” He questioned her.
“Does chocolate count?” She giggled and hiccupped at the same time, looking
back at Mr. Tight and Toned. He would certainly know how to make her forget
about Tayelon.
Lucard grabbed her chin and forced her gaze up to his. He was not pleased.
“I don’t need food, only more alcohol.” Amber snorted.
