I step forward. “More important than telling me what the hell is going on?”
“You should go,” he says.
“What? No! Not until you tell me,” I say, frowning. “So you’re in a frat house? God …” I slap my hand in front of my mouth in disbelief. Now I see why he’s been selling drugs and punching people together with Jaret. Those are the people who put them up to it. I need to know more.
“Why do you want to go look for ‘the boss’?”
Hunter shushes me. “Don’t be so loud.”
“Why? Does it matter?”
“Because … it’s a freaking illegal frat house. We sell drugs, for crying out loud. Nobody can know about this. And yes, we’re looking for the boss, but first we gotta find out who the courier is.”
“The courier? What the hell is that?”
He sighs. “The one who brings the drugs from the boss to the top distributors. Those are the people I get my stash from.” He runs his fingers through his hair. “I think I’ve answered enough questions now.”
“Oh, c’mon, you’ve got to give me more than that.”
“I can’t. You don’t know how dangerous that is.”
“Why? Are you still too chicken to trust me?”
He gently cups my face between his index finger and thumb. “I care about you. I’m afraid you’ll get hurt. That’s why I don’t tell you. It’s better if you stay out of this.”
I slap his hand away, and he turns around and walks out the door. I follow him as he goes into the guys’ bathroom. I’m not letting him off the hook that easily. I take in a big breath before I walk in with him.
“I don’t care if it’s dangerous. I. Want. To. Know,” I say.
He turns on the light, while I put my foot in front of the door, so he can’t close it. Luckily there’s no one else inside but us.
“You’re not getting out of this, mister,” I say, crossing my arms.
A smirk appears on his face. “I love it when you put your foot down like that.” He quickly leans in and pecks me on the head, momentarily catching me off guard.
“But I’m going to take a shower now, and then I’m leaving,” he says crudely.
“I’m going with you.”
He laughs. “Fine. Suit yourself.”
He lets go of the door handle and turns on the shower. The door is wide open, and now I’m staring at him, while he’s taking off the only thing that was between me and his firm ass.
My eyes widen as he strips. He’s completely naked, and I can see his bare ass tighten as he steps under the shower.
I gulp, seeing the rivulets of water stream down his masculine body. The taut muscles grab my attention as he starts washing himself.
“You’re a dirty girl, you know that? Peeping on naked guys,” he says.
I gasp. “I am not. Trust me, I’m not standing here for that reason. I’m not even looking at you.” I turn my head right away, feeling caught.
“I bet you were. And I also bet you liked what you saw.”
God. Why does he have to be so fucking blunt all the time? It’s turning me into a puddle of drool.
Closing my eyes, I sigh and lean sideways against the wall, waiting for him.
When he’s done, he says, “You can open your eyes now. It’s safe.” The mischievous grin on his face is the first thing I see. I scowl at him as he chuckles a little. “You’ll get to see me eventually. I can’t wait to see the look on your face then.”
“Whatever. I’m still not letting you out of my sight. I don’t like what you’re scheming one bit.”
He’s only wearing a towel around his waist, nothing else. He steps closer, and I have trouble not pulling off that towel that’s between him and me, but I have to stand my ground.
“Oh, I didn’t expect you to. Come to the party with me then,” he says.
My jaw drops. “What? You want to take me with you?”
“Well, you just said I can’t stop you, so I’d rather take you with me then. You’re safer with me than anywhere else.”
Somehow that doesn’t make me feel comfortable at all.
“But if you don’t want to, you can always just stay here, study a bit, you know, go about your normal life like you always do,” he says, kissing me on the cheek.
“No, not a chance.” I’d rather risk it than not know what he is doing for another day.
“All right. I’ll pick you up tonight at your room at eight.”
He walks past me, out into the hallway, and I follow him back to his room. There he grabs some briefs from his drawer, while I shut the door behind us. The towel drapes off his butt, and I gulp seeing the beautiful, perfect slabs of muscle that appear before me. He puts on his underwear, and then a pair of pants, covering up his body, making me pine.
