Lori’s POVTonight wasn’t just my twentieth birthday. It was the night the secrecy ended.For six long months, Travis kept us hidden. He wanted our relationship away from the campus gossip. But tonight, he had promised to tell everyone about us. I smoothed my sweaty hands down my emerald silk dress. Tonight was supposed to be the night. I planned to give him everything. My virginity was wrapped up like a milestone birthday gift."Aren’t you tired of staring at yourself?" Jessica asked. She leaned against the bathroom doorframe, swirling a tequila bottle in her hand.Ann, my other roommate, shot Jessica a sharp glare. "Ignore her. You look beautiful, Lori. Twenty looks good on you. Just promise me you won’t let Jessica talk you into doing body shots off the kitchen island tonight.""Hey! It’s a birthday tradition!" Jessica argued. I laughed, while my eyes kept darting to my phone on the marble counter. There was still no text from Travis. My roommates knew I was seeing someone, but

Lori’s POVA dark gleam flashed on his eyes as Lucas’s smirk widened. He guided me out by placing his palm firmly against the small of my back. I was putting on a denim jacket, but the heat from his touch burned into my skin.I was surprised to find out that his dorm room didn't look like a typical college boys own. There was no trace of dirtiness anywhere. In fact, it smelled of cedar wood and laundry detergent. However, immediately his door closed behind us, the charming casualness disappeared. He rushed to where I was standing. His large frame completely blocking out the light from the hallway. While his hands came up to frame my face, and his thumbs wiping away the streaks of my smudged mascara."Let me guess. You are still thinking about whatever made you so angry," Lucas murmured, his eyes looking right through me. "And another guess is that it is a guy.""You’re not completely wrong," I breathed, my heart slamming against my ribs. "But I want to forget. I want... I want to

LoriIt was not just because of Lucas. It was because of the person sitting on the opposite side of the stadium.I looked up at the special seating section reserved for the varsity athletes. Travis sat right in the middle of his fraternity brothers, wearing his black football jacket. He looked good, but he was not watching the hockey game. He was leaning down, his head bent close to Elena. She sat a row below him, wearing her full cheerleading uniform.Elena laughed at something he whispered. She threw her head back, her fingers brushing against his knee. A real, physical ache hit me right in the chest. For half a year, he hid me from everyone. He treated me like a dirty secret. “The football team doesn’t need the distraction right now, Lor,” he had told me every time I asked. “Let’s just keep this between us for a little while longer.”Every single excuse he ever gave me turned into a lie that made me sick to my stomach. Now, here he was openly flirting with another girl. The worst

LucasI was supposed to be sweating over what the head coach was going to do to me. He had already given me a final warning the last time I let my temper get the best of me on the ice. But when that bastard came at me from behind, I couldn't hold back. I didn't want to.But honestly, the looming suspension wasn't what was actually occupying my mind. What was really stuck at the back of my brain was the scent of the sweetest girl I’ve ever had beneath me.Lori.Normally, if a girl panicked and bolted out of my dorm bed at three o'clock in the morning, leaving behind a complete mess of my sheets. I would have been pissed off. I would have blocked her number and forgotten she existed.But Lori was different. I couldn't get her out of my head. I had spent the whole day staring at her, first in the cafeteria, and then from across the stadium during the game. It had taken every single ounce of my willpower not to ignore the plays entirely and just skate over to where she was sitting.This h

LoriThe fake smile completely slipped off my face the exact second the hospital door swung open.Ann and Jessica had called me last night, crying and apologizing over the phone for not making it to the hospital sooner. They had promised they would be here first thing in the morning. Because of that, I had spent the last twenty minutes practicing my brightest, most carefree smile in the reflection of my phone screen. I wanted to prove to them that I was totally fine. I absolutely hated it when Jessica worried too much about me.But it wasn't my best friends who walked through the door.It was Travis. He was holding a massive bouquet of red roses, looking around the room with a nervous, guilty squint.“What the hell are you doing here?” I snapped, the words cutting through the quiet room like ice.“Cliché,” he muttered, trying to sound casual as he stepped forward and set the flowers down on the plastic rolling table near my bed. “Honestly, Lori, I was expecting you to say exactly that
