NINA

I was sore.

Sorer than I've ever been and I loved it.

Walking through campus, I tried not think about the dull ache in my muscles from all the ungodly positions Theo had me in.

I probably should have stretched beforehand. Imagine, I thought. I was still high from the night—constantly being adored with recurring images of Theo's body and how good he looked on top of me.

I still can't get over it.

It was a night I'd remember forever and I wanted it to happen over and over again. I wanted it more than I did before. Experiencing everything that Theo did to me showed me how exactly how much I'd been missing and I would be lying if I said I wasn't absolutely fucking addicted. Where is he? I want him.

I scoffed a small chuckle to myself, pursing my lips when I realised how ridiculous it was missing him after being away from him for only half a day.

What on earth did he do to me?

I walked through the elevator and turned around, facing the doors as I pushed the button that lead down to the library. I needed to study, and the library was the only place that actually made me feel capable.

Being in my apartment meant that my bed was the biggest temptation and after all my classes had ended, I decided I'd try to be good and study for an upcoming test. It was hard.

My mind was still fixated on Theo and everything he had to offer—how was I supposed to stare at screens and pages filled with tiny words when all I wanted was to call him and have a repeat of the previous evening?

I took a deep breath in, willing myself to gain a bit of strength to push through the urge to head home and have a nap. I should. No, that's a bad idea. I should.

My internal debate didn't last long.

The glass door of the elevator slid open, revealing the Victorian library that held books older than the building itself. Just seeing it had my shoulders slumping in defeat.

I glanced around, looking for familiar faces that I wanted to avoid.

Sidney sat at a round table, her elbows propped on the table as she read out words on a flyer in her hands. I liked Sidney, but she was irritably persistent with the pressure to join one of the clubs on campus.

Just as I was about to look away from her, her head shot up.

Sidney's bright blue eyes locked with mine before her lips pulled up into a grin. I almost felt my soul leave my body when she excitedly waved me over.

Sighing to myself, I headed to the table she sat at.

"Nina!" she chirped, cheesing widely when she set her flyer down on the oak table. "Come meet my new friend."

Friend?

I passed a bookshelf, approaching Sidney who couldn't stop smiling. When I saw the friend she spoke of, I felt my heart drop straight to ass. Theo.

He sat opposite Sidney, a look of annoyance plastered all over his features. When he lifted his head and saw me, the frown fell away—only to be replaced by a smile that showed me his dimples.

He had his glasses on, but the glint in his brown eyes were visible when he stood up. I ignored all the feelings rushing through me. How could he smile at me like that—all innocent and wholesome, when he fucked me until I was still sore the next morning?
