Trisha grunted in irritation under Jimmie's weight as she helped him lurch drunkenly along the sidewalk. He wasn't leaning on her all that heavily, as his roommate, Russ, was supporting him from the other side. But it was still more than Trisha really wanted to do.
Especially because of the giggling. Jimmie was drunk. Staggering drunk. Not a crime in itself. Hell, they had just come from a college party. But he was giggling as he staggered along and that made it much more annoying.
When Trisha and Russ finally managed to get him home, he was barely coherent. Again, not totally his fault. They had been at a party and there had been some drinking games going on. Jimmie was, in spite of being over six feet tall, quite a lightweight when it came to alcohol. And his buddies all knew it.
For some reason they were all picking on him, including Russ, who was at least now helping to get him home. Jimmie, good sport that he was, tried to keep up. He drank everything they sent his way, even long after it was obvious he was past his limit.
Trisha could forgive all that, perhaps. There was no denying that she had been planning on a much different outcome, one that included her getting laid. So she wasn't thrilled when she realized Jimmie wasn't going to be much use to her in that regard tonight. Still, it was a frat party and it wasn't really a surprise. The drunken giggling was a bit chaffing though.
Russ and Trisha wrestled him up the stairs and into his bed. He flopped heavily across it and passed out almost instantly.
"Jesus, what did you guys do to him?" Trisha asked, going around the bed to Jimmie's head, checking to make sure he was okay. "Did you have to beat him up that bad?"
Russ gave a snort of a laugh. "Not like he couldn't say no," he answered with a shrug. Trisha flashed him a look.
Russ was grinning, unconcerned. Hadn't this goon ever heard of alcohol poisoning, Trisha wondered? She turned back to Jimmie and checked him again. What if he got sick? Choked on his vomit or something, she thought? She looked up at Russ again.
Russ was tall, muscular with neatly combed jet black hair. He was wearing a tight fitting tee shirt that showed off his broad chest and impressive biceps. His brown eyes twinkled with mirth at the situation.
Trisha wanted to yell at him, tell him that it was foolish and irresponsible to do this to Jimmie. Jimmie wasn't good at protecting himself from this sort of thing. But Russ wouldn't understand.
He was captain of the lacrosse team. Trisha didn't know much about lacrosse, except that heavily padded men ran around with clubs in their hands crashing into one another. It always made her think of Russ as something of a caveman. That might not be entirely fair, but Trisha couldn't shake the image of him knocking someone to the ground with that same grin on his face and twinkle in his eye.
She turned back to Jimmie. "I guess I better stay here and make sure he's okay," she said.
"Yeah, good idea," Russ said. Something in his tone didn't ring right in Trisha's ear. She turned back to him suspiciously. Sure enough, Russ was leering at her in a way that jocks do when they see a pretty girl and think it's their birthright to have her. Trisha snorted derisively at his presumption and sat down on the bed beside Jimmie.
But Russ didn't take the hint. He stood there, staring at her. Trisha could feel his eyes crawling all over her. She didn't have to look up to know. She just knew. Undressing her with his eyes, no doubt.
Trisha was a good looking woman and she knew it. She was five foot eight with an hourglass figure, nice full C-cup breasts and a tight round ass. Long, silky black hair fell straight back over her shoulders, nicely framing her delicately featured face, accentuating her prominent green eyes. The guys around campus were always flirting with her, hitting on her. She was used to that.
But the way Russ was looking at her now was different. It didn't frighten her, though she supposed he could easily overpower her if it came to that. No, she didn't feel threatened. She just felt... what was it? Vulnerable, perhaps? She had no idea why she would feel that way, but as she sat there watching Jimmie breathe, feeling Russ's eyes on her, that was what she experienced.
Vulnerability.
Trisha brushed Jimmie's hair back out of his face. He looked completely peaceful in his passed out state. Like he looked when he fell asleep in her bed with his arms around her after passionately making love to her.
"So how about it," Russ asked from behind her. "Wanna make out?"
Trisha turned around sharply, a strong rebuke on her tongue. But before the words came out, she saw Russ was pulling his shirt over his head, exposing his chest and abs. And they were impressive, to be sure.
But they weren't so impressive that he had any right to expect Trisha to just jump into his arms! Even if she wasn't dating anyone, let alone someone who was in the same room with them now!
Okay, maybe if she was single, those firm pecs and washboard abs would have enticed her. Maybe even enticed her enough to forgive his arrogance. But Jimmie was laying right here beside her! This was his roommate, his friend! And Russ was hitting on his girlfriend as Jimmie lay passed out in the same room!
Of course, there was something deliciously naughty about that, Trisha conceded to herself. Something soooo wrong that it was actually appealing in some twisted way. What if she were to make out with Russ, right there in the same room? It was scary how much appeal that idea suddenly had to her.
What the hell was wrong with her?
Russ crossed the room and sat down on his own bed, which was less than fifteen feet from Jimmie's. He patted the bed beside him, indicating Trisha should join him.
Trisha shook her head, a bemused smile on her face. She looked back down at Jimmie, but paying more attention to the way Russ's eyes bored into her. She took a breath, willed the smile from her face and turned to look up at him.
She was planning to explain that there was just no way she would do anything with him, especially right now with Jimmie passed out in the same room. But when her eyes met his, something changed. There was something in his gaze, like he knew something. Something about her that she didn't know herself.
Again, she felt that strange vulnerability. Not threatened. Just... vulnerable.
"He's not going to wake up," Russ said simply, as if that was the only thing holding Trisha back. Again he patted the bed. Trisha took a long look at Jimmie, then looked back up at Russ.
There was no denying the excitement she was feeling. The idea of making out with another man with her boyfriend passed out next to them was turning her on. It didn't make sense. It didn't seem like something that she would do, let alone enjoy. Yet she felt an acute tingling in her belly that told her she was on the edge of giving in.
It was totally irrational!
Russ was hot, she admitted to herself. Sure, he was a bit full of himself, but this campus was overrun with guys who thought the world revolved around them. Russ really wasn't all that different than the average guy here in that respect. At least he had the looks to back it up.
But it was a bit presumptuous of him, wasn't it? To sit there and pat the bed like she should be eager?
Well, it did kinda rub her the wrong way in one respect, but the situation as a whole, making out with Russ with Jimmie passed out in the next bed, was starting to overpower any aversion to his arrogance.
She looked up at Russ, their eyes meeting for a long time. It seemed pretty obvious which way she was leaning. He could surely sense it. Russ was hot and the situation was even hotter. Trisha gave a look down at Jimmie, a cruel smile curling the corners of her mouth. Then she got up and crossed the room to Russ's bed and sat down beside him.
Russ wasted no time. He turned toward her, put a hand on her thigh and bent down to put his lips on hers. Trisha tipped her head back and put her lips to his as a shiver ran up her leg where his hand touched her. Then Russ's lips were pressed against hers in a surprisingly passionate kiss. His lips parted, dancing over hers, nibbling then pressing again in a way that took Trisha's breath away. She never expected him to be such a good kisser.
