The guy was saying something.

I didn't know what he was saying, but I knew that he was talking to me. Drunk Ezra couldn't understand English.

Instead of paying attention to his words I payed attention to his lips. He had nice ones. As he talked to me I watched his lips imagining what it would be like to kiss him...

I turned to the guy, placing my arm on his shoulder. "You look hot, you want to take a walk?" I mumbled.

He smirked reaching over and pushing my hair out of my face. "Get your hands off of me, Ezra Lewis." he said slowly, enunciating every syllable.

I raised a brow.

"How do you know my name?" I slurred blinking my eyes rapidly trying to clear my vision.

He laughed. "God, you must be plowed. It's barely nine o'clock."

I was convinced I didn't know this stranger. But I wanted to get to know him. So I turned my flirt on.

"Listen, buddy. Are we leaving or not?"

He gave me an uninterested look. "Definitely not. I'm going to pass."

Weirdly, I didn't even feel the sting of rejection. The alcohol was really doing it's job.

"Fine." I mumbled turning sloppily in my seat. "Then do me a favor... ask him if he wants to go out with me." I pointed to another hot guy not far from me.

"Not happening." The guy said sounding annoyed. "Pretty stupid to get plastered and try to pickup random guys at a bar." The guy mumbled.

"You know my name. Obviously you're not a stranger." I mumbled.

He tossed his drink back, placing a few bills on the bar. "I wasn't talking about me. And you must be near death to admit to flirting with me."

I narrowed my eyes, staring at him. He did seem kind of familiar now that I thought about it.

"Call your friend to pick you up, Ezra. Don't be stupid."

"What friend?" I couldn't think of one friend I had.

The guy shrugged. "Red hair, Legs up to her ears. Scrawny thing. Sarah- Sadie? Who cares. Give her a call."

"I Can't Call Stella." I said laughing. "She's throwing a party tonight. I'm supposed to be entertainment but I dipped out." I laughed again.

The guy raised a brow with an annoyed expression on his face. "Entertainment?"

I nodded seriously. "I'm supposed to converse and contain. It's an Alpha Phi Nu thing. But Stupid Jaxon is a part of Alpha Phi Nu so no thanks." I laughed pointing to myself. "Did I say Nu thanks?"

The guy actually smirked now. "Your going to hate yourself in the morning Lewis."

I groaned. "I hate myself right now."

He frowned. "Stop saying stupid shit."

He probably was right. In hindsight this was a pretty stupid idea.

"Hey?" I was brought out of my thoughts by the guy snapping his fingers in my face. "I said let's go."

I chuckled. "Nice try big guy. I'm not going home with you."

He rolled his eyes sliding out of his seat. "Sure you are. Don't pretend this isn't a dream come true for you Lewis. You can sleep off your drunk on my couch. Get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow morning, you'll forget about your cheating ex."

I pushed his hand away when he reached for me. "I don't even know you."

True. But that hadn't mattered to me mere minutes ago.

He grabbed my arm, pulling me off of my stool. "In the morning you're going to wish I was a stranger. Let's go, or I'll call your pretty boy ex to come scoop you. I'm assuming you don't want that."

He had me there. I didn't want that.

"Don't blackmail me." I mumbled following him out of the bar.

"It's not blackmail. Obviously I couldn't leave you in there. And you said I was a terrible person." He laughed to himself. "Look at me, doing nice things."

I smirked as a Lyft pulled up in front of us.

The guy pushed me into the car before sitting next to me and slamming the door.

When his leg brushed mine I felt heat travel straight to the center of my body.

Not thinking I placed my hand on his knee.

"Hey, stop that." He complained, grabbing my hand and placing it in my lap.

I laughed. "Such a gentleman." I slurred allowing my head to fall onto his shoulder when it became heavy.

"Don't fall asleep in this car Ezra."

I fell asleep.

***********************

I couldn't remember the night clearly. I remembered talking to some guy and getting into a car with him to his place, but after that... nada.

I sat up in the surprisingly comfortable bed.

Did I even have sex with the guy last night?

With a groan I walked into the adjoining bathroom and pulled my toothbrush out of my purse. I brushed my teeth before splashing water onto my face.

Surprisingly, I looked good.

My face was free of makeup, my skin was a little pale but it just made my catlike green eyes stand out more. My stupid hair was stick straight as usual. It never got tangled or curly or anything other than limp straight hair. Sometimes I hated it but at the moment it was working for me.

My dress was still tight against me and after adjusting it a little bit, I looked like I was ready to go out all over again.

When I walked back into the bedroom he was sitting on the bed and I almost threw up.

"Oh my god." I groaned pushing myself against the wall so that I was out of his vision.

"Morning sweetheart." He said with what I could tell was a cocky smirk. "How'd you sleep?"

Kody fucking Vincent.

"I'm going to kill myself." I mumbled.

Kody laughed. "You know Lewis, I had originally thought that all of your animosity towards me was just sexual frustration but I put that thought away months ago. I guess I was right all along.".

OI chewed on my lip. He wasn't entirely wrong about the sexual frustration thing.

"Don't start with me Vincent. I have a headache the size of your Ego."

He didn't miss a beat. "You were trying to get a good look at my 'ego' last night Lewis. Wanna see it now?"

I snorted looking around the side of his bed for my shoes, I had to get out of here. "Not if it was filled with morphine."

"It's filled with something that will make you feel much better babe." He said walking up to his window and snatching the curtains opened.

When the light filled the room, my eyes widened. His face was marked. There was an angry red bruise sitting under his left eye.

"Get caught with somebody's girlfriend?" I asked nodding my head towards his face.

He rolled his eyes. "You really don't remember do you? Lewis, you couldn't keep your hands off of me last night. You decked me when I calmly told you I wasn't going to put out."

"Don't flatter yourself" was my weak comeback.

Even I could hear the heat in my voice. I knew he could.

Kody chuckled walking up to me, his eyes swirling with an emotion that made me uneasy. "You wanted me Lewis. The only thing keeping me from taking you, was the fact that you were drunk."

"Back off from me Vincent. You missed your chance to ride this ride."

He didn't move. "You're not drunk right now, Ezra."

I swear, my name sounded so sexy coming off of his lips. I needed to leave asap.

"In your dreams."

He didn't say anything as I walked past him clutching my heels in my hands. I looked around the room. The bed was messy and the floor was covered in discarded clothes. for some reason, that was turning me on. My sexual frustration was at an all time high.

"Okay." I said squishing my eyes shut and turning on my heels. "Okay Vincent. Let's do this."

I quickly opened my eyes. I had ripped the bandaid off, now it was simply a waiting game.

He didn't even seem surprised by my outburst. He simply stood were he was, waiting for me to make the first move.

"One time only. No strings attached. No one finds out." I said when he stayed quiet.

"Who am I going to tell?" He said casually, still playing it cool.

I knew he wanted me. He'd always wanted me, he just couldn't stand that I had my own mind and didn't bend to his every whim. And I couldn't stand that he was a cocky little shit who had a perfect life. But yeah... I'd wanted him.

"So, are you a take charge kind of guy or are you secretely a sub?"

He smirked as his eyes turned a shade darker."You talk to much, Lewis." He said before bending down to meet my lips.
