Chapter 9 - Feeding
It's past midnight when I wake up again. Efrain's warmth wraps around me and for a moment I panic. More than anything I want to stay in his arms, but I worry that it's just me. It will be awkward enough to face him tomorrow without me throwing my feelings into it. This isn't the first time I've been with someone I know, and I've gotten hurt enough when I wanted more than they wanted to give.
I carefully leave his arms and get out of bed. I'm in the middle of getting dressed when he wakes up.
"You're leaving?"
"Yeah, I have class in the morning," I lie.
"Skip it," he says sleepily and pats the bed, asking me to come back.
I chuckle. "I don't think I could go again."
"That's not why I'm asking you to stay."
"Sure it's not." I bend over to kiss him goodnight. "I'll see you at practice. Good night, Efrain."
"Good night," he says, sounding a little disappointed.
I let myself out and lock the door behind me with my shoes in my hand because they're still soaked.
When I get back to the dorms, I let myself in quietly in case the guys are asleep already. Romero is sitting in bed reading when I come in.
"The walk of shame, eh?"
"Of course." I pull off my shirt and jeans and start rummaging in my dresser for pajama pants and an undershirt.
"Holy fuck."
"What?"
"What happened?" He points to my shoulder.
"He bit me."
"Bit you? Wait,
he
bit you?"
"Yes, a guy bit me."
"Hard enough to need a bandage?"
"Seems so," I answer as I drag on my pjs.
"During sex?"
"I'm not going to answer that."
"You
let
him?"
"It felt good," I say defensively, flopping down on my bed.
"Were you always this masochistic?"
"No idea, no one's bitten me before."
"So back to the guy."
"You know, you've never given the third degree when I hook up with women."
"So, was it...what is Preston calling him now?"
"Asswrecker McFrostybitch," I say. "And, no, it wasn't Indie."
"So, who was it?"
"A teammate."
"Anyone I'd recognize?"
"Probably."
"That's going to be awkward."
"You're already making it awkward."

I thought I'd have Cory out of my system if we slept together once, but I'm still starving for him. If anything, tasting him made the hunger worse. I let him go last night, but I'm hunting him down again at conditioning.
I find him using the reclining leg press machine to run through some exercises - multiple sets of reps with his feet in different positions on the platform meant to hit various parts of his thighs. His shorts ride up over his compression underwear, thighs rippling under the skin-tight material, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. I'm thankful for my own compression pants holding me down under my workout clothes.
I crouch down next to him as he lines up the safety bars for a short break.
"How are you feeling?" Not many of our teammates are working at the leg equipment (there are some you have to force to do a leg day), but I still keep my voice low.
"Not bad. Yourself?"
"Hungry." I give him a meaningful look. His cheeks get a little redder as if he realizes what I mean. "Are you free today?"
"I got a class this afternoon."
"And after that?"
"I'm wide open."
"Oh, really?" I shouldn't be flirting with him when there are possible witnesses, but I can't help it. "Text me when you're 'wide open' then." I fist-tap his shoulder before I walk off.

I've seen Efrain in his football uniform, dressed up for clubbing, dressed down for practice, even in everyday clothes.
I'm not prepared for how he opens the door.
A pair of charcoal grey pajama pants ride low on his hips. It's a simple item, but the way the soft cotton hugs his body makes me hot. The V of his Adonis belt arches out of his waistband, begging for me trace it back down. Like I need another reason to want him.
Wordlessly, he pulls me inside the house and his mouth is on mine before I can speak. His tongue dives between my lips, tasting me, and his arms pull me close. His heat radiates into me. I run my hands up his arms, the biceps perfectly developed and tight. His own hands slip down the back of my shorts to knead my ass through my trunks.
He kisses me thoroughly and passionately. I'm dimly aware that we aren't alone.
"Hate to interrupt, but I need to get by." Indie's voice is unmistakable, and I'm taken aback at first. Other than on campus, and very rarely then, I haven't seen him since he ran out of Kiley's room a month ago. I'm a little shocked to see him, mostly because of the compromising position I'm in.
"Sorry man, I forgot you were still here," Efrain says and pulls me to the side. His hands are still massaging me under my shorts, pressing me against the hard bulge in his pants. If Indie notices the movement he doesn't say anything. I try really hard not to moan, but my cheeks probably speak volumes.
"Bringing hook-ups home, I see," he taunts as he passes. "Didn't think you liked the guys you fuck to know where you live." He gives us a mock salute then dips out the front door.
"I really forgot he was home. You cool?" Efrain gently bites the side of my neck and I really do moan then. His half laugh is deep and makes me tingly. "Take that as a 'yes.'"
