Never Have I Ever (Campus Games, #1)

by Stephanie Alves

I wish I knew why, but she captivates me.

“Come on, angel. I won’t bite.”

“Unless you ask me to.”

Let’s just say you surprised me.”

“Surprised you how?”

“In a lot of ways. The way you’re so good and kind, yet you want to live the lif...

“You really are an angel,”

“Why’s that?”

“You’re so innocent...

He ...

“How?”

“Because it makes me want to corrupt you.”

His hand lifts, reaching out and swiping his thumb across my cheek. I suck in a breath, and he smiles.

“You blush so easily,”

he says, laughing under h...

I say, feeling my cheeks get hotter under his touch. H...

“It’s ...

He reaches his hand out, and I take it, pulling me up until I’m seated next to him on the hood of his car.

“Do you want to stay and watch the sunrise with me?”

“I love watching the sunrise,”

“Even more than the sunset.”

“Well, that’s good because the sunset’s long gone, angel.”

Grayson stands, meeting me halfway. He looks down my body, and his breath stills. He’s checking me out. He finds me attractive. That’s good to know. I just wish he would show it.

“You look beautiful, angel,”

I’m a very curious person. As much as I love surprises, I’m also the kind of person who tries to guess everything, the kind who shakes the present to see if I can figure out what’s inside. I’m impatient.

ME!!!!!!

He laughs again, the sound making my stomach drop. I love the sound of his laugh.

Drink up,”

“You trying to get me drunk?”

“Yeah. It was on your list. Number 1...

“You remember th...

“Kind of hard ...

“You’re so cute when you blush.”

I lick some of the salt around the rim, keeping my eyes on him. He shuffles in his chair, his hand gripping the glass tighter as he clenches his jaw.

She starts dancing around me, and I’m drinking her in. She looks so happy, so beautiful as she dances like no one is watching.

They can look all they want, but tonight she’s mine. I’m here with her, making her let go and have fun like she asked me to.

She swivels her hips to the music, getting dangerously close to my groin, so I back up, clutching her hand so she doesn’t fall to the floor.

She turns around unexpectedly, spinning on her heels, and then trips, crashing into my chest. I groan as our bodies make contact, but she just laughs, letting me hear that heavenly sound of how happy she is, and wraps her arms around my neck. My hands drift to her waist, holding her up. She feels so good in my hands, I want to relish this moment right here, knowing she feels comfortable with me. She sighs, resting her head on my chest. Her movements slow down, and I feel her relax in my arms.

“You want to g...

“Okay, angel, le...

I love being the reason for that smile. The one who can make her forget for a little while.

I find myself tracing her features with my eyes. Seeing how her chest moves when she breathes, how her lips are plump, and her skin is flushed from the alcohol. She’s so goddamn beautiful. Fuck, I’m an idiot.

“Pants,”

“Off.”

“W...
