Lovestruck – Celeste Briars

“You’re slacking. Nibble my neck,” I command, slightly afraid of—and turned on by—the beast I might unleash if I keep telling her what to do. Staten, surprisingly, follows through and rises to her tiptoes, slobbering all over my throat in some sloppy kiss session before taking a solid bite of my goddamn jugular. No flair, no build up, no inclination that she has any sexual experience whatsoever. If Leif were to look any closer, he could untangle our web of lies before our “relationship” even hits MU’s gossip circulation.

“I asked for a nibble, not a fucking vampire bite. I can’t show up to practice with a hickey on my neck.” “You know I don’t have any experience doing throat stuff!” “This is never going to work,” I murmur, my confidence piggybacking on the doubt that circles my head like ospreys waiting for their next meal to scurry out of a nearby thicket.

There’s a growl in her chest—one that shouldn’t sound as sexy as it does. “Shut up. Is he still looking at us?” I glare through my lashes to pinpoint our stalker, and sure enough, he’s staring straight at us with a face redder than a fire hydrant, looking about ready to march on over here and actually do something about it.

You know, he really should. That way I’d have an excuse to punch him. Possessiveness clamps down on me. “Yeah, he is.” “Good. Now slap my ass.” “For fuck’s sake, Staten.” “Trust me, it’ll work. It has to work,” she insists with equal parts guilt and gratitude—guilt for stringing her airheaded crush along, gratitude for picking one willing yet unfortunate soul to induct into her two-person crime league.

She’d never admit it, but I can hear the desperation tinting her words. I don’t know what hurts more—the fact that she’s trying so hard to be noticed by someone who doesn’t deserve her, or the fact that I’ll probably always play second fiddle to Leif Kennedy. So, I slap her butt with enough force to bruise, and she expels a little gasp before clinging to me.

When Staten looks up at me, I hunt for some small truth that any of this is real—any of it at all—but I come up empty- handed as expected. At the end of the day, we’re just two people using each other. The only language we speak is physical, and I hate that part of my breakfast slingshots up my throat because of it. Leif retreats to the shadowed margins of the party—disappearing amongst the bobbing heads of other invitees—and all I do is bring Staten into a hug, burying my nose in the crook of her neck.

I think getting pelted with a nail gun would be less painful than vying for the heart of a woman that belongs to another man.
