\u201cYou\u2019re slacking. Nibble my neck,\u201d I command, slightly afraid of\u2014and turned on by\u2014the 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 \u201crelationship\u201d even hits MU\u2019s gossip circulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked for a nibble, not a fucking vampire bite. I can\u2019t show up to practice with a hickey on my neck.\u201d \u201cYou know I don\u2019t have any experience doing throat stuff!\u201d \u201cThis is never going to work,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a growl in her chest\u2014one that shouldn\u2019t sound as sexy as it does. \u201cShut up. Is he still looking at us?\u201d I glare through my lashes to pinpoint our stalker, and sure enough, he\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

You know, he really should. That way I\u2019d have an excuse to punch him. Possessiveness clamps down on me. \u201cYeah, he is.\u201d \u201cGood. Now slap my ass.\u201d \u201cFor fuck\u2019s sake, Staten.\u201d \u201cTrust me, it\u2019ll work. It has to work,\u201d she insists with equal parts guilt and gratitude\u2014guilt for stringing her airheaded crush along, gratitude for picking one willing yet unfortunate soul to induct into her two-person crime league.<\/p>\n

She\u2019d never admit it, but I can hear the desperation tinting her words. I don\u2019t know what hurts more\u2014the fact that she\u2019s trying so hard to be noticed by someone who doesn\u2019t deserve her, or the fact that I\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n

When Staten looks up at me, I hunt for some small truth that any of this is real\u2014any of it at all\u2014but I come up empty- handed as expected. At the end of the day, we\u2019re 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\u2014disappearing amongst the bobbing heads of other invitees\u2014and all I do is bring Staten into a hug, burying my nose in the crook of her neck.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
