Tarren held her hand up, stopping her. “They are watching, making sure we are okay and don’t go anywhere, and would put a stop to it if it got out of hand.”
Alexis nodded and took a sip from her cup.
“How about we not talk about our parents and just enjoy the fact we are free from high school?” Tarren grinned and finished off her beer. “How are you and Nico doing?” Tarren arched a perfectly plucked dark brow. “You do the deed yet?”
Alexis nearly choked on her beer. She wiped her mouth, felt her eyes water as alcohol went into her lungs, and started coughing.
“I guess that’s a no?”
She shook her head. “No.”
“You’ve been together like two years. How much dry humping can you possibly do with him?”
Leave it to Tarren to not mince her words. She was one of the most outgoing and open-minded girls from The Grizzly kids.
“You need to get drunk and stop being the most sober one here.” Tarren grinned. “Not only did we just graduate, but you turned eighteen not too long ago.”
“Yeah, you’re right.” Alexis looked around and took a sip of her beer, but right when she was about to move the cup away from her Tarren pushed it to her mouth and forced her to drink all of it. She sputtered, some of the beer trailed down her chin again, and she lightly smacked Tarren on the shoulder. “What the hell?” Alexis started laughing, but felt her cheeks heat with embarrassment. How many people saw her dribble like some kind of infant? She scanned the crowd again, saw Nico and Lucas over by Odin and a few of the other guys, and couldn’t stop herself from smiling. She loved him, loved him so much sometimes it hurt. Yeah, they had been dating for two years, but that didn’t mean they had to jump right into sex.
“So, spill it, girl,” Tarren said.
Alexis didn’t need to ask what Tarren meant by that question. “We got close a couple of times, but when my dad almost caught us more than once, and it just didn’t feel right the other times, we just decided to wait.”
Tarren was staring at her like she was speaking a foreign language. She glanced over at Lucas, and this goofy smile covered Tarren’s face.
“Oh my God,” Alexis said on a breath. “You had sex with Lucas?” Tarren had just looked at him, but that didn’t mean the expression on her face had been as loud as if she screamed she had fucked him. But Tarren didn’t look embarrassed. In fact she seemed smug almost.
“Yeah, last night in fact. We were sitting in the back of his truck by the lake, and talking about what we planned on doing for college, and then…” She shrugged, but there was a smile that stretched across her face. “One thing led to another, and I think I am in love.”
Alexis snorted. “No, you’re not.”
Tarren grinned. “No, but definite lust for sure.” She glanced at Lucas again, and when Alexis looked over she saw that Nico’s twin was looking at her with this “Let’s go someplace dark and get dirty” expression.
“And his dick is like sooo big, Alexis.”
Alexis knew that most likely any guy that was a Grizzly offspring was probably packing some major length and girth between his legs.
“I bet Nico is just as impressive in that department. I mean they are identical.” Tarren wagged her brows.
Alexis shrugged, and damn her face for growing even hotter.
“Yeah, you don’t even have to say it because I know Nico is probably like the damn Hulk, too.” Alexis may not have had sex with Nico yet, but she had seen him naked, and had felt the hardness of his erection between her legs.
They didn’t say anything for a while, just watched the guys bullshit with each other, and before Alexis knew it she was on her third beer. The music was blaring loud, angry beats, and Alexis heard Tarren sigh beside her. “I know that sound.” She looked at her friend and smiled. “You’re going to do something you probably shouldn’t.”
“Girl, I am going to do something that I should.”
“Hey.”
Alexis looked at Dakota, who had stepped up beside her. “Hi.”
Dakota was older than she was, and although he was not a bear shifter, he was the son of Malice, The Brothers of Menace MC Sergeant at Arms. For a human Dakota was just as huge and muscular as any shifter male she had ever seen. With his dark hair and eyes he looked like some kind of fallen angel, and he was just as sweet, too.
“You having a good time?”
“I am, thank you. Are you?”
He glanced at where Nico and the rest of the guys were. “Yeah, for the most part.” He looked back at her and smiled. “So, what are your plans for the fall? You going to college?”
