Short filmTranscript
00:01I was trapped in the corner of a private room.
00:05On my left sat Leroy. He was an untamable bad boy.
00:08On my right sat Blake. He was the campus genius, and secretly, an alpha werewolf.
00:14The heavy, intoxicating scent of their pheromones made my knees weak.
00:19Blake forcefully pulled me up by my waist.
00:22He laced his hot fingers through mine.
00:26She's my mate. You got a problem with that?
00:30How did I, a normal human, end up claimed by two dangerous werewolves?
00:35It all started because my best friend used my photos.
00:37She catfished both of them online.
00:40It was Halloween night. I was taking photos at the theme park.
00:46Suddenly, a video call from Stefini popped up on my phone.
00:49I answered it. She looked frantic and overly excited.
00:53Holy crap! I asked two guys if I could be their girlfriend!
00:56They both said yes!
00:58Yes! Georgie, I have two boyfriends now! What do I do?
01:01Stemi had been single for years. Stefani had been single for years.
01:05Two-timing wasn't exactly something to brag about.
01:07I glared at the screen and snapped.
01:09She immediately shoved a few photos up to her camera.
01:13Dump one.
01:13A guy in a dimly lit garage.
01:15His shirt hiked up to expose sharp abs and a deep V-line.
01:20And another guy with dark, commanding eyes.
01:23Practically radiating pure testosterone.
01:26They're both insanely hot! Which one do you pick?
01:31My throat went a little dry.
01:32But I rolled my eyes at the camera.
01:34I'd said, dump one.
01:36Not, give me one, okay?
01:41As I was about to yell at her again, a cute guy drew my attention.
01:46He was cosplaying a bunny cop.
01:48He had his back to the light.
01:51Broad shoulders, a ridiculously tight waist, and long legs encased in dark jeans.
01:57The pink bunny ears looked almost perverse against all that raw, masculine energy.
02:04Stefani's voice shrieked from my phone.
02:07Tell me, Georgie. Which one do you pick?
02:10I couldn't take my eyes off the guy's lean waist.
02:13I spoke directly into the mic.
02:16Neither.
02:17I'm dating only bunnies.
02:19That's where the real fun is.
02:22The crowd thinned out.
02:24The bunny cop was about to leave with his friends.
02:28I hung up the video call.
02:29I went after him.
02:31I strode forward and caught hold of his belt bag.
02:34Hey, could you wait a sec?
02:36When he turned around, my breath caught in my throat.
02:39His face was dangerously handsome.
02:41His sharp jawline and thin lips held the faintest trace of a smirk.
02:46His gaze swept over me like a physical touch.
02:50Just for a second, something primal and gold flashed in his eyes.
02:54He tilted his head.
02:55He let out a low, husky laugh.
02:57What a coincidence.
03:00Huh?
03:03Coincidence?
03:04Before I could dwell on his deep voice, one of his friends exclaimed,
03:08Holy shit!
03:09Georgia Kimbrel?
03:11The campus bail?
03:14Another guy chammed in.
03:15Yeah, that's her.
03:17She was all over the confession page with Blake for three whole days back when school started.
03:22The bunny cop was at Blake Samson?
03:25The untouchable CS genius?
03:27I suddenly remembered what Kelly had told me.
03:30Blake is insanely hot and crazy talented.
03:33I figured this had to be what people called fate.
03:36I smiled, my eyes crinkling.
03:37Yeah, what a coincidence.
03:40Are you guys leaving?
03:42Blake pointed toward the curb.
03:43A friend invited us for dinner.
03:45You want to join or shall I give you a lift?
03:47I followed his gaze.
03:49Then, I saw a Porsche, a Ferrari, and a Rolls Royce.
03:55The grin on my face stiffened.
03:57I took a few steps back.
03:59I waved my hands frantically.
04:01That's way too much trouble.
04:03You go ahead.
04:03My bestie's waiting for me.
04:05Ditching her wouldn't feel right.
04:08My face burned hot.
04:10I had never set foot in a luxury car.
04:15See you at the restaurant.
04:16His two friends waved.
04:23They took off.
04:24Blake stayed put.
04:26He watched me with a dark, meaningful look.
04:29The atmosphere turned thick and heavy.
04:33Just when I was cringing so hard,
04:35he suddenly stepped in my personal space.
04:39His towering frame completely swallowed me.
04:42He leaned down.
04:44His hard chest grazed lightly against mine.
04:48His long fingers set the bunny ears on my head.
04:51His warm knuckles deliberately brushed the sensitive shell of my ear.
04:56A sudden shiver shot straight down my spine.
04:58It's fine if you don't want to tag along.
05:00It's crowded out here.
05:02Stay safe.
05:04Text me when you get home.
05:06His low voice vibrated right against my neck.
05:08A heavy intoxicating wave of mint and rain-soaked pine crashed into me.
05:13My legs went weak.
05:14By the time I snapped out of the daze, the Porsche's taillights had already disappeared.
05:20Wait.
05:21Text him?
05:22Did he forget that he never gave me his number?
05:25But after that intense physical proximity, it felt different.
05:34Exchanging numbers felt like only a matter of time.
05:38My heart hammered wildly against my ribs.
05:46The next day, I was sitting in a cafe with Stephanie.
05:49She shoved her phone screen right into my face.
05:52The moment I saw the contact name Blake on her screen, I spat out my coffee.
05:59I grabbed her arm and dragged her to a quiet corner.
06:04I snatched the phone right out of her hand.
06:07I swiped up through the chat history.
06:10There were late night flirty texts.
06:12And worse, my own selfies were right there in the chat.
06:20A rush of hot anger and sheer panic hit me.
06:24My best friend had been sexing my crush using my face.
06:30I yelled right at her.
06:33WTF?
06:34Your online boyfriend is the CS genius from my school?
06:39I'm not good enough for a guy like him.
06:46And you used my photos to catfish him?
06:50She stared at me, her eyes wide.
06:53Her family who what had moved away during high school.
06:55We went to college in the same city, but different schools.
07:00So she didn't recognize anyone from my school.
07:04What didn't make sense was Blake being on a dating app.
07:07Stefina stammered.
07:09He goes to Arizona University?
07:12You two know each other?
07:16Then she swallowed hard and dropped an even bigger bomb.
07:21Babe, you're not going to believe this, but I hooked him using your photos.
07:28And the other guy, too.
07:38Are you kidding me?
07:40This was worse than finding out we had no holidays for the entire year.
07:46I swiped out of Blake's chat and tapped the other pinned conversation.
07:50I tapped on the original photo of the other guy.
07:53I'd seen him before.
07:54I'd watched him get into a violent fight the night freshman orientation ended.
07:58His name was Leroy Hatfield.
08:00He was into smoking, fighting, and street racing.
08:05Basically, the most dangerous guy on campus.
08:08I slammed my hand on the cafe table, spewing every curse word I knew.
08:13Stefanie buried her face in her arms on the table and wailed.
08:18I swear!
08:19I wasn't serious!
08:21I was just messing around!
08:24Who could have guessed they'd both say yes?
08:26I only found out later that they thought I was you because of my profile pic.
08:31I figured I'd just let you end up with one of them, so...
08:35I never explained anything.
08:39I fell back into my chair.
08:41My face was completely cellar.
08:44One thing was crystal clear.
08:46If I didn't get this sorted out tonight, I might as well drop out.
08:50I had to apologize to them in person.
09:00I grabbed Stefanie's phone again.
09:05Two unread messages popped up instantly.
09:08One was from Leroy.
09:10Want me to pick you up?
09:11Let's grab something to eat.
09:12The other was from Blake.
09:16You still not home?
09:17A gust of wind slipped through the open cafe door.
09:20It sent a cold shiver down my spine.
09:24Without hesitation, I typed a reply to Leroy.
09:28Send me the address.
09:29I'll grab a cab.
09:30Then, I switched to Blake's chat.
09:33I'm home.
09:34About to sleep.
09:36Good night.
09:37I'd clear things up with the bad boy first.
09:39Then deal with the genius.
09:41That was the plan.
09:43Night fell.
09:44The yellow glow of the restaurant lights was exceptionally bright.
09:51As I pushed open the door to the private room, a terrifying wave of hot air hit my face.
09:59But it felt weird.
10:00Too heavy.
10:02Like the oxygen had been sucked out of the room.
10:05Stefanie tugged my sleeve and whispered, trembling.
10:09Does it feel stuffy in here, do you?
10:12I nodded stiffly.
10:13Then I looked up and saw Blake sitting right deck to Leroy.
10:17My heart went completely cold.
10:21Shit.
10:22Nobody told me Rie Leroy and Blake knew each other.
10:25It was too late to run.
10:28There were other guys in the private room, drinking and joking around.
10:32But my eyes were fixed on the two massive, intimidating figures.
10:37I had planned to confess everything right away.
10:40But seeing Blake and Leroy sitting together completely derailed my plan.
10:44My courage evaporated.
10:47Seeing them both stand up, I shouted in a panic.
10:53Don't come over!
10:56Don't come over!
10:57The laughter and chatter died instantly.
11:00Both of them stared at me.
11:03They looked baffled.
11:04I could barely keep myself upright.
11:08My heart was racing against my ribs.
11:11My mind was buzzing.
11:13How could I blurt her out the cat-fetching truth in front of all their friends?
11:19Stefanie steadied me from behind.
11:21She tried to smooth things over.
11:23Well, what Georgia means is you're all schoolmates, so let's just keep things casual.
11:31Getting all formal will only make it weird.
11:35She pinched my shoulder hard.
11:37She flashed a smile that looked more like a grimace.
11:41Right, Georgie?
11:42I grinned at my teeth and nodded.
11:44Yeah.
11:45We're all schoolmates.
11:48Let's keep it casual.
11:50Leroy sat back lazily.
11:54He lit a cigarette.
11:59All right.
12:01Have a seat.
12:02Order whatever you want.
12:04I forced myself to calm down.
12:07I couldn't expose the truth just yet.
12:09I pulled Stefana over to sit by the window.
12:12Blake was on my right.
12:14Leroy next to him.
12:16Stefana leaned in close and whispered in my ear.
12:19I'm so sorry, Georgie.
12:22I never should have added strangers on.
12:28I gently patted her hand.
12:29We'd grown up together.
12:31I knew she wasn't bad at heart.
12:34Suddenly, Leroy scraped his chair back.
12:36He opened his mouth to blow a smoke ring in my direction.
12:40Blake kicked his chair violently.
12:42The room went dead quiet.
12:44Don't blow smoke at her.
12:47Don't blow smoke at her.
12:50My heart pounded wildly.
12:52Blake was so thoughtful.
12:56Leroy stubbed out his cigarette.
12:58I snapped my head up.
13:10I met Blake's deep gaze.
13:12He arched in highbrow slightly.
13:16She's my mate.
13:18But I get the feeling she doesn't really want to own up to it.
13:21Mate?
13:22Did he mean it like a soulmate?
13:25Was he talking about the online dating?
13:27My mind went completely blank.
13:32The fork in my hand clattered heavily to the floor.
13:35It wasn't that I didn't want to own up to it.
13:38I couldn't.
13:39Because I wasn't his online girlfriend at all.
13:42Leroy clicked his tongue.
13:43He looked right past me at Stiffiana.
13:45You should have said so.
13:47Hey, move over here.
13:48Don't get stuck between them playing third wheel.
13:51I was bending down to pick up the fork.
13:55I froze mid-air.
13:57Third wheel?
13:58Was he talking about Stiffiana?
14:01Did Leroy actually think Blake and I were a couple?
14:04Before I could process it, Blake pulled me straight up.
14:12He yanked me flush against his hard chest.
14:15He laced his long fingers through mine,
14:17locking our hands tightly together.
14:21A jolt ran from my fingertips all the way up my arm.
14:26He lowered his head,
14:29his lips almost brushing my ear.
14:32His rough thumb slowly traced the bone on the back of my hand.
14:38Once.
14:39He stared Leroy down,
14:41his voice dangerously low.
14:44You got a problem with that?
14:45Leroy fell silent.
14:46He stared at our locked hands.
14:47So did I.
14:48So did everyone else in the room.
14:54In that brief silence,
14:56the reality of what Blake just said
14:58finally hit Leroy.
15:00He realized Blake wasn't just calling me his girlfriend.
15:04He had used the word
15:06mate.
15:10Leroy shot to his feet.
15:11His chair toppled backward onto the floor.
15:14You and Sporley rest Nance while Moss bowed in.
15:16The loud crash echoed off the walls.
15:19He stared at us.
15:21Utterly incredible.
15:23She's your mate?
15:25Blake tightened his grip on my hand and pulled me even closer to his side.
15:30He glanced up lazily.
15:34His dark eyes carried a dangerous weight.
15:38What else?
15:41What else?
15:41Yours?
15:43My face burned hot.
15:50I quickly pulled free from Blake's tight grasp and stepped away from his chest.
15:57Things were escalating too fast.
16:00Stephene panicked and tried to stand up to confess everything.
16:05But we couldn't do this in front of an audience.
16:08I grabbed her arm and pressed her back down.
16:11I looked at the crowd of guys in the room.
16:13Can we talk alone?
16:15The others scrambled out immediately.
16:17The room fell into a heavy silence.
16:20Blake had watched every nervous move I made.
16:25He said nothing.
16:28I had a terrible feeling he'd already pieced everything together.
16:33Leroy glared fiercely at me.
16:35Not Stephanie.
16:36He still thought I was the one who had been two-timing him online.
16:41His face was completely stern.
16:44Alright.
16:45Talk.
16:46I was just about to bow and apologize for the whole mess.
16:49But Stephene saw Leroy's terrifying anger directed at me.
16:52To protect me, her tear voice rang out from behind.
16:55I'm sorry.
16:57I'm the one who was chatting with you online.
17:01Georgie's only here to take the blame for me.
17:04Leroy froze, realizing he'd been catficked by the crying girl.
17:11He grabbed her by the collar.
17:16He hauled her out of the room before she could finish.
17:26I've got some nerve toying with me.
17:29Shut up!
17:31Or I'll make you shut up!
17:34But I can't help it!
17:37I stood there.
17:38I was completely dumbfounded.
17:43Stephanie had just thrown herself to the wolf and vanished.
17:46Now it was just me and Blake left in the deadly quiet room.
17:50And I was completely defenseless.
17:55Blake tapped the table with his finger.
17:58Georgia.
17:59My back went completely roged.
18:02I slowly turned around.
18:04The warm yellow light fell on his dark hair.
18:07I grabbed the fabric of my jeans tightly.
18:13Leroy doesn't hit people, does he?
18:16He does.
18:17But he never hits women.
18:20Couldn't he have said that in one breath?
18:26Let's go.
18:27I stared at his outstretched hand.
18:30I gripped the hem of my shirt hard.
18:33Are you sure about this?
18:37With a face like Blake's, he was 100% my type.
18:41But after reading those intense, flirty texts he sent to my photos,
18:45holding his hand felt completely off.
18:47I couldn't even look him in the eye.
18:49He stepped closer, his towering frame practically boxing me in.
18:53He tilted his head down, locking his dark eyes onto mine.
18:58We're schoolmates.
19:01Is there something wrong with you grabbing my jacket for me?
19:04I blinked.
19:05I sprang up and yanked his jacket off the wall hook.
19:08My face burned crimson.
19:14Not at all.
19:16So damn embarrassing.
19:25He draped the jacket over his firm arm.
19:28Let's go, schoolmate.
19:31I could have sworn he put a little extra weight on the word schoolmate.
19:36I trotted over and forced a smile.
19:40Let's go.
19:43Outside.
19:44The night air was chilly.
19:47Blake slicked down a taxi.
19:49He owned a Porsche, so I assumed he was just calling the cab for me.
19:55I slipped into the back seat.
19:59Just as I reached for the door, he climbed in too.
20:02His large frame squeezed into the tight, tight space right beside me.
20:06He gave the driver Stefana's address.
20:09He pulled the door shut in one fluid action.
20:11My jaw dropped.
20:17You...
20:18Suddenly, he leaned all the way in.
20:22He wrapped his jacket around my shoulders and pulled it snug.
20:26A heavy wave of mint and rain-soaked pine flooded over me.
20:30The masculine scent wrapped around my body like a warm blanket.
20:34I shrunk back against the car seat.
20:36His broad chest was just inches from my face.
20:39My breath caught.
20:43He looked down at me for a long moment.
20:45Then he finally pulled back.
20:47He leaned against the seat and rested his arm right behind my head.
20:55Leroy took my car to drive Stefanie home.
20:58Leroy took my car to drive Stefanie home.
21:01He just sent me the address and told me to take you.
21:04Huh?
21:05Oh, okay.
21:07He turned his head to look at me and asked.
21:10Have you seen the chat history between Stefio and me?
21:13I nodded slowly.
21:15Kind of.
21:18What do you think?
21:19His dark gaze was incredibly loaded.
21:22I thought he was just embarrassed about his secret being exposed.
21:28I raised my hand like taking an oath and spoke with absolute sincerity.
21:34Once again, I'm apologizing on Stefanie's behalf.
21:38And I promise I will absolutely, absolutely never breathe a word to end your into online dating.
21:47The temperature in the small cab instantly dropped to freezing.
21:53Blake stiffened.
21:54He turned his head away sharply to stare out the dark window.
21:59Good to know.
22:02The taxi pulled up outside Stefanie's building.
22:04I reached for the door handle.
22:06The silence between us was absolutely deafening.
22:10He'd said good to know like it was the last word on the subject.
22:14But the way he gripped the car door handle told me something else.
22:18This dangerous conversation was far from over.
22:24Early the next morning, a drizzle began to fall.
22:28Blake had let me keep his jacket when I got out of the taxi last night.
22:32Holding an umbrella, I took it to the dry cleaner.
22:36It was across the street from campus.
22:41Before handing it over, I buried my face in the fabric and inhaled deeply.
22:46Mint and rain-soaked pine.
22:49It was still there.
22:50The shop owner stared at me.
22:51He didn't say a word.
22:53Then I headed through the school gate.
22:55As I reached the sports field, a few girls' voices drifted toward me.
23:01Check it out!
23:06Holy crap!
23:07Blake and Leroy know each other?
23:09Why are you so surprised?
23:11Hot guys hang out with hot guys.
23:13It's basically a law of nature.
23:15I stopped and turned to follow their line of sight.
23:19Blake stood near the school gate without an umbrella.
23:22The hood of his black sweatshirt was pulled up over his head.
23:26Maybe it was because he was standing next to Leroy.
23:28But even he seemed to carry a dangerous...
23:31roguish edge.
23:34Just then, someone shouted.
23:38Georgia!
23:42Georgia!
23:43It was Kelly, my loud-mouthed roommate and the absolute center of campus gossip.
23:49She was running toward me under a pink umbrella.
23:51Her voice was loud enough to draw several stares, including Leroy Hatfield's and Blake Sampsees.
23:56My whole body stiffened.
23:58What's up?
24:03Still catching her breath, Kelly spoke.
24:05Is it true?
24:06You went to dinner with Blake and the others last night?
24:09What the hell?
24:11Who told her that?
24:16Before she could say another word, I slapped both my hands over her mouth.
24:20It's not true.
24:23Don't ever say things like that again.
24:29She blinked.
24:31With a sly look, she pointed her finger right past my shoulder.
24:35I turned around.
24:38Leroy and Blake stood barely a step away.
24:42I took a quick step back and flashed an awkward smile.
24:47Hey, what a coincidence.
24:50Tiny raindrops clung to Blake Sampson's dark bangs.
24:53He leaned his tall frame down, completely blocking my view of anything else.
24:59Coincidence?
25:00Really?
25:02We're all schoolmates here.
25:04Running into each other on campus
25:07is hardly a coincidence.
25:11Don't you think?
25:13My face went scarlet.
25:16Completely oblivious to the thick romantic tench, Kelly jumped in.
25:20She pointed at Blake Sampson's pulled-up hood,
25:23which gave him a dangerous street vibe.
25:28Blake, that whole vibe you've got going on right now,
25:32you look exactly like my cousin.
25:35Her cousin was a notorious local punk, Leroy,
25:38the resident bad boy,
25:40immediately took that personally.
25:42Like me?
25:43When he really goes off,
25:44even I wouldn't take him lightly.
25:47My phone alarm suddenly blared in my pocket.
25:49I pulled it out and silenced it immediately.
25:52All right, all right, tough guys, both of you.
25:55Now if you'll excuse me,
25:56I've got a class to get to.
25:58Then I spun around and bolted into the lecture hall
26:01at a full sprint.
26:04I didn't dare look back,
26:06but I could feel his heavy gaze on my back the whole way.
26:13After class,
26:14I was scrolling through the campus gossip app
26:16on my back-to-the-door empty.
26:19Some rich kid posted a ridiculous dare,
26:21a $300,000 in reward
26:24for anyone who could prove
26:25they still had their first kiss.
26:27I rolled my eyes and typed a quick reply.
26:30Yeah, hard pass on that $300,000.
26:35Keep your money.
26:38Great.
26:39Right as I hit send,
26:41my phone buzzed.
26:42It was Kelly.
26:43Class is over, right?
26:44Get your ass to the BQ joint just off campus.
26:47I grabbed the big corner booth.
26:50She had tried to drag me out to dorm parties before,
26:52and I always bailed.
27:00Turning her down again
27:01would just make me look like a total buzzkill.
27:05Alright, be right there.
27:08I changed direction
27:09and headed straight for the local grill.
27:17I pushed through the heavy wooden doors
27:19and found Kelly in the back booth.
27:23The table was completely covered
27:25in massive plates of ribs,
27:27brisket,
27:28and loaded nachos.
27:30I slid into the booth
27:31and stared at the ridiculous amount of food.
27:34Jeez, Kel.
27:36Isn't this way too much food
27:37for just the two of us?
27:41She tossed a napkin at me
27:43across the table.
27:45Chill.
27:46We're still waiting on some people.
27:51Just then,
27:52a waiter walked over
27:53and dropped off
27:54a giant metal bucket
27:56of iced beers
27:57and a bottle of wine.
27:59I immediately put my hands up defensively.
28:01I'm sitting out on the drinks.
28:03You know I can't handle my liquor.
28:05Even as I said it,
28:06I cringed inwardly.
28:09I really was a total lightweight.
28:11At my high school grad party,
28:13I had one single white club.
28:15I ended up hugging a street lamp
28:16outside the party for an hour,
28:19bawling my eyes out
28:20and refusing to let go.
28:21I swore off alcohol after that night.
28:26Relax.
28:27Somebody will drink it.
28:28Kelly grabbed a bottle
28:29and hooked the cap
28:31with the edge of her fork.
28:32With a sharp pop,
28:33foam spilled over the top.
28:35I clapped my hands in amazement.
28:38Okay,
28:39that is freaking impressive.
28:41A low,
28:42magnetic laugh
28:43sounded right behind me.
28:45You think that's impressive?
28:48I can do that too.
28:50I knew it was Blake
28:51without even turning around.
28:53He slid into the tight booth,
28:55sitting right parallel to me.
28:57He took a deep breath.
29:00His broad shoulders visibly dropped,
29:03completely relaxing against the seat.
29:08He propped his chin on his hand
29:09and turned his body toward me.
29:13Why have you been ignoring my text today?
29:17You were pretty bold the other night.
29:19I thought he meant the way I hit on him
29:21at the Halloween party.
29:26The words spilled out
29:27before my brain could filter them.
29:30That's because the bunny cop...
29:32Blake froze completely.
29:34He definitely hadn't expected me
29:36to bring that up.
29:37Leroy and Kelly
29:38burst into loud laughter.
29:41Mortified,
29:42I dropped my head onto the table,
29:43wanting the floor
29:44to swallow me whole.
29:47Being a sucker for a hot face
29:49really ruins everything.
29:53Blake leaned heavily into my space.
29:55His chest practically trapped me
29:57against the table.
29:58Next time,
29:59I'll wear those ears just for you.
30:01In private.
30:02His hot breath feigned across my neck.
30:04I jolt backward,
30:05my back hitting the booth.
30:06My face burned like a furnace.
30:08I grabbed the nearest glass
30:09on the table in a panic.
30:10I tilted my head back
30:12and chugged the entire thing.
30:14A strong burning sensation
30:16hit the back of my throat.
30:17It wasn't beer.
30:19It was red wine.
30:21Kelly's eyes went wide.
30:24Whoa!
30:25Didn't you just say
30:26you don't drink?
30:27I slammed the empty glass
30:30onto the table.
30:31I let out a loud hiccup.
30:33Yeah, but one glass
30:35never hurt anyone.
30:36Before Kelly could stop me,
30:38I grabbed the wine bottle
30:40and poured myself another round.
30:46The alcohol hit my brain instantly.
30:50I was completely hyped up.
30:53Blake grabbed a napkin.
30:57He leaned over and wiped
30:59a drop of wine
31:00from the corner of my chowth.
31:01I think I need to order you
31:03some milk.
31:04I grabbed his wrist
31:05before he could pull his hand away.
31:11I leaned right into his face,
31:12mimicking his earlier whisper.
31:14Easy.
31:16Handsome.
31:17Don't tempt me.
31:18I have zero self-control
31:20right now.
31:22Blake burst into laughter.
31:24His broad chest shook
31:26against my arm.
31:27He leaned back,
31:29his voice dropping an octave.
31:32Baby,
31:34you haven't seen anything yet.
31:36Across the table,
31:37Leroy pulled out his phone.
31:41He aggressively hit
31:43the voice record button.
31:45If your friend Stephanie
31:46isn't here in 10 minutes,
31:49I'm posting all her voice notes
31:51on her campus forum.
31:53I aggressively stood up
31:54and pointed a finger at Leroy.
31:58Leave her alone.
32:00You and Blake
32:01should just date each other.
32:03You'd make a hot couple.
32:08Leroy dropped his phone
32:10onto the table.
32:12He glared fiercely at Blake.
32:15Are you seriously
32:16going to let her
32:17run her mouth like that?
32:19Wow.
32:19I really hit a nerve.
32:21Before I could provoke
32:22Leroy any further,
32:23Blake grabbed my waist.
32:24He pulled me hard
32:25into his side,
32:26forcing me to sit back down.
32:28He wrapped his heavy arm
32:30around my shoulder.
32:31His large hand
32:32firmly held
32:33the back of my neck.
32:34My tense muscles
32:36melted into his touch.
32:37Blake stared at Leroy
32:39and spoke flatly.
32:40I'm straight.
32:42My drunk brain
32:43struggled to process that.
32:46I slumped against his chest.
32:48I felt a weird
32:49sense of sadness.
32:50Why wasn't he into men?
32:52It was such a waste
32:53of a perfectly good face.
32:56Before I could voice
32:57my drunk disappointment,
32:58the heavy door
32:59to the restaurant
33:00violently swung open.
33:06Stephanie burst
33:07through the heavy
33:07restaurant door,
33:08panting heavily.
33:09The second she saw me
33:11sitting on Blake's lap
33:12with an empty wine glass,
33:15she completely freaked out.
33:18You...
33:20You drank?
33:22You drank without me
33:23last time
33:24and now you've done it again?
33:25I tried to push myself
33:27off Blake Samsey's lap,
33:29puffing out my chest
33:31with misplaced confidence.
33:33It was right there
33:34in front of me.
33:36Not drinking it
33:37would be a crime.
33:39Stephanie cringed hard,
33:41completely speechless.
33:43She rushed over,
33:44grabbed my bag
33:45off the table
33:46and threw her hands up
33:47defensively
33:48at Blake and Leroy.
33:49She turns into
33:50a completely different person
33:51when she drinks.
33:52Sorry you guys
33:53had to deal with this.
33:55Without giving anyone
33:56a second to react,
33:57she hauled me off Blake
33:59and pulled me to my feet.
34:00She threw my arm
34:01over her shoulder
34:02and tried to drag me
34:03out of the booth.
34:07But my drunk body
34:09was basically dead weight.
34:10With a dull thut,
34:12both of us collapsed
34:13onto the sticky
34:14restaurant floor.
34:16That was,
34:17without question,
34:18the most humiliating moment
34:19of my entire life.
34:21And the worst part?
34:23I hadn't even remembered
34:24half of what I did
34:26that night yet.
34:34The next morning,
34:35my head was splitting.
34:37The absolute worst part?
34:39I hadn't forgotten
34:40a single thing.
34:41The memories
34:42didn't just come back.
34:43They assaulted my brain
34:44in full HD detail.
34:46Blake sat on the edge
34:48of the bed,
34:49trying to pull
34:50the blanket over me.
34:51Instead,
34:52I aggressively grabbed
34:53his collar
34:54and straddled his lap.
34:55My hands practically
34:57tore at his shirt,
34:58completely unbuckling
34:59his belt
34:59in one frantic motion.
35:01I ran my hot palms
35:03all over his hard,
35:05ridged abs.
35:08I stared right into
35:10his darkening eyes
35:11and shouted,
35:12You've got some
35:13serious muscle on you.
35:15Why don't you let me
35:17test that out in bed?
35:18The memory hit me
35:19like a truck.
35:20I was completely devastated.
35:22I yanked the thick
35:23blanket over my head,
35:25squirreled in bed,
35:26and kicked my legs wildly.
35:28How am I ever
35:30supposed to face
35:31anyone again?
35:32As I kept thrashing,
35:33I suddenly realized,
35:35realized,
35:36my leg was thrown
35:37over something
35:38heavy and solid.
35:42Wait,
35:43I knew Stefan was wild,
35:45but this wild?
35:49Keeping my eyes
35:50tightly closed
35:51under the blanket,
35:52I reached out.
35:54My fingers traced
35:56over a broad,
35:57bare chest,
35:58trailing down
35:59to a dangerously
36:00low V-line.
36:01A low,
36:03incredibly shutty groan
36:04vibrated right next
36:05to my ear.
36:06I hastily flung
36:08the blanket aside
36:09and saw Blake's
36:10face inches from mine.
36:15His shirt was
36:16completely unbuttoned,
36:17exposing flawless muscle.
36:20His dark,
36:21heavy gaze
36:22swept over me.
36:23A lazy,
36:25heated smile
36:26formed on his lips.
36:28You were at it
36:29until the middle
36:30of the night,
36:31and you've still
36:32not had enough?
36:33Then I noticed
36:34the bed sheets
36:34right next to his
36:35clenched fist.
36:36Deep,
36:37aggressive scratch marks
36:38tore right through
36:39the fabric.
36:40Four parallel lines
36:41ripped straight
36:42through the mattress.
36:45My eyes widened
36:47in absolute horror
36:48at the aggressive
36:49scratch marks
36:49on the bed.
36:50Blake followed
36:51my stare.
36:52Without a word,
36:53he casually grabbed
36:54the ruined sheet
36:55and flipped that
36:56section over.
36:57Blushing furiously,
36:58I scrambled backward
36:59until my back
37:00hit the headboard.
37:01I snatched the blanket
37:02and tugged it
37:03all the way up
37:04to my chin.
37:05I thought
37:06you were Stephanie.
37:08He leaned closer,
37:09propping his tall,
37:10half-naked frame
37:11up on one elbow.
37:13Last night, too?
37:14I opened my mouth
37:15then closed it.
37:16I swore a silent vow.
37:18If I ever touched
37:19alcohol again,
37:20I was doomed.
37:22Last night?
37:24I don't really
37:25remember anything.
37:26Blake didn't look
37:27surprised at my
37:28blatant lie.
37:28He nodded,
37:29his mourning voice
37:30thick and raspy.
37:33So you're planning
37:34to deny it
37:35after we slept together?
37:36It's fine.
37:38We're schoolmates,
37:39after all.
37:40Slept together?
37:40My eyes flew open
37:42in pure panic.
37:43That's ridiculous!
37:44I just felt you
37:45up a little.
37:46How does that count
37:47as sleeping together?
37:48He trapped my gaze,
37:50a slow, victorious
37:51smirk spreading
37:52across his face.
37:53He had tricked
37:54that confession
37:54out of me so easily.
37:56Blake pulled his
37:57dark hoodie
37:57out from under my pillow.
37:59He tugged it
37:59over his messy hair,
38:01his ripped abs
38:02flashing clearly
38:03before the fabric
38:04dropped.
38:05Why'd you stop
38:06talking?
38:07Don't tell me
38:08you're actually
38:09starting to remember
38:10now.
38:14I couldn't handle
38:16his intense teasing
38:17anymore.
38:19I grabbed my clothes,
38:21scrambled off the bed,
38:22and bolted out
38:23of the bedroom.
38:26Still trying to calm
38:27my racing heart,
38:28I sneaked out
38:29into the living room.
38:30Leroy and Stephanie
38:31were curled up together,
38:33sound asleep on the sofa.
38:34Those two really did
38:35make a great couple.
38:36One was strikingly handsome
38:37and the other was just
38:38striking hilarious.
38:40Damn, Stephanie
38:41was so lucky.
38:43I was just about
38:45to sneak out
38:45the front door
38:46when Blake walked
38:47up behind me.
38:48He grabbed
38:49my bag strap.
38:51He pulled me
38:52straight out of the
38:53apartment and into
38:54the chilly morning air.
38:58Once we were
38:58on the sidewalk,
38:59he let go of my bag.
39:01Why are you jealous?
39:02You were wrapped
39:03around someone
39:03last night, too.
39:05There was a huge
39:06difference between
39:07being forced into
39:08something and doing
39:09it willingly, okay?
39:11I trotted down
39:12the street,
39:14utterly deflated.
39:15I walked up to the
39:16bike rack and
39:17unlocked my bicycle.
39:22But just as I grabbed
39:24the handlebars,
39:24Blake stepped right
39:25in front of the
39:26bike and seized
39:26them.
39:27He leaned his
39:28upper body down,
39:30trapping me
39:30entirely.
39:32There was a
39:32dangerous shift
39:33in his dark
39:34gaze.
39:38He must be
39:39furious about how
39:40aggressively I
39:41manhandled him
39:42last night.
39:42For a moment,
39:44time seemed to
39:45stand completely
39:45still.
39:46He frowned
39:46slightly.
39:47Did I upset
39:48you?
39:50I stared at
39:51him,
39:52completely thrown
39:53off guard.
39:55What?
39:56You're the one
39:57who's upset,
39:57aren't you?
40:00He reached out
40:01and pulled the
40:02hood of my
40:02sweatshirt over
40:03my head.
40:07His long fingers
40:08brushed my hair
40:09back as he
40:10adjusted the
40:11fabric.
40:13I was pretty
40:14mad last time.
40:15but not this
40:16time.
40:17I stared at
40:17him,
40:17completely lost.
40:19Ignoring his
40:19strangely tender
40:20gesture,
40:21I flicked the
40:21bike bell
40:22aggressively with
40:22my thumb.
40:27You mean that
40:28time on
40:29Halloween?
40:31He smiled,
40:32his gaze turning
40:33exceptionally teasing.
40:35The time you
40:36used me as a
40:37telephone pole.
40:41His low,
40:42deep voice reached
40:43my ears and I
40:44froze dead on
40:46the spot.
40:47Telephone pole?
40:49Thanks to that
40:50terrifying revelation,
40:51I got out of there
40:52as fast as I
40:53possibly could.
40:53I pedaled that
40:54bike down the
40:55sidewalk like it
40:56was a damn
40:56motorcycle fleeing
40:58the scene.
41:03back in my dorm,
41:04I immediately
41:04text a girl who
41:05went to my
41:06high school grad
41:07party.
41:09I aggressively
41:10interrogated her
41:11about every single
41:12detail from that
41:13night.
41:17A minute later,
41:19she sent me a
41:20video clip.
41:21I shoved my
41:22airpods in and
41:23hit play.
41:25The video was
41:26taken outside the
41:27map of the
41:28after party was
41:29held.
41:33A tall guy in a
41:35Westview High
41:35varsity jacket was
41:37leaning against the
41:37brick wall.
41:38A totally wasted
41:40girl was standing
41:41right in front of
41:42him.
41:44Suddenly,
41:45without any
41:46warning, she
41:47launched herself
41:48forward.
41:50She locked her
41:51legs tight around
41:53his waist and
41:53started aggressively
41:54making out with
41:55him.
41:56Honestly, it
41:56looked more like
41:57she was trying to
41:57gnaw his face
41:58off.
42:01My eyes went
42:02wide in pure
42:04horror.
42:05I closed the
42:06clip and instantly
42:06deleted it from
42:07my phone.
42:10That psycho
42:11girl was me.
42:15And that
42:15telephone pole in
42:16the Westview High
42:17varsity jacket was
42:19Blake.
42:20We didn't go to
42:21the same high
42:21school.
42:22I was a
42:23massive nerd back
42:24then, buried in
42:25AP prep book.
42:27So it made perfect
42:28sense why I had
42:28zero idea who he
42:29was.
42:30The chaotic video
42:31clip and what
42:32happened this morning
42:33collided in my brain.
42:35My face burned hot.
42:37I seriously wanted
42:39to cry.
42:44After my afternoon
42:45lecture, I ran
42:46straight into Blake
42:47and his frat
42:48brothers in the
42:48busy hallway.
42:54I yanked the
42:55draw rings of my
42:55hoodie incredibly
42:56tight, hiding my
42:58face.
42:58I kept my head
42:59down and tried to
43:00speed walk right
43:01past him.
43:08Georgia.
43:10The second his
43:11deep voice called
43:12my name, I
43:13broke into a
43:14jog, but his
43:15large hand
43:16shat out and
43:17caught my arm,
43:18stopping me dead
43:18in my tracks.
43:24He gently
43:25tugged my hood
43:26down.
43:28When he saw
43:29my red, watery
43:30eyes, he
43:31looked genuinely
43:32stunned.
43:36Have you been
43:36crying?
43:37His warm thumb
43:39gently brushed
43:39my cheek.
43:43Just once!
43:44I shook my head
43:45frantically.
43:46No!
43:47I was just
43:47sleepy.
43:48I was definitely
43:49not crying over
43:51the fact that I
43:51had drunkenly
43:52sexually assaulted
43:53the hottest guy
43:54on campus.
44:01twice.
44:05Besides the
44:06frat brothers
44:07standing with
44:07him, more and
44:08more nosy
44:09students were
44:09clustering around
44:10us in the
44:11hallway.
44:16I looked up
44:17at Blake's
44:17stunning face.
44:19After holding
44:20my breath for a
44:21long moment, I
44:22decided to just
44:22lay it all out.
44:27Blake, I'm
44:27sorry.
44:29I know I was
44:30completely out
44:31of line, so
44:32could you please
44:34just...
44:36Just what?
44:37He looked
44:38stunned again.
44:39I turtled my
44:40neck back into
44:41my hoodie and
44:42spoke, my
44:43voice barely
44:44above a
44:45whisper.
44:45Not be mad
44:46at me, and
44:48not think I'm
44:48some kind of
44:49creep.
44:55He let out an
44:56exasperated,
44:57breathy laugh.
44:58Then he turned
44:59around and
45:00casually tossed
45:01his heavy
45:01textbooks to the
45:02guy behind
45:03him.
45:09Dude, do me a
45:10solid.
45:11Take my books
45:11back.
45:12I need to find
45:12somewhere to take
45:13care of my
45:13mate.
45:14The busy
45:14hallway went
45:15dead quiet for
45:16exactly one
45:17second.
45:17A guy walking
45:18toward me actually
45:19froze mid-step.
45:22Then he awkwardly
45:23spun around and
45:24walked the other
45:24way.
45:26After that one
45:27second of stunned
45:28silence, the whole
45:29corridor exploded
45:31into wild cheers
45:32and whoops.
45:35And somewhere
45:36in the middle of
45:36all that chaotic
45:37noise, my own
45:39heart was pounding
45:39so hard I could
45:40hear it in my
45:41ears.
45:45Blake grabbed
45:46my hand and led
45:47me into the
45:47empty stair hub.
45:48The heavy door
45:49shut, cutting
45:51off the noise.
45:52Everything
45:53was completely
45:53quiet.
45:55He gripped my
45:56waist, lifted
45:57me up easily, and
45:59set me down on
45:59the concrete
46:00window ledge.
46:04Then he let
46:04out a heavy
46:05sigh.
46:08No better spot
46:09on campus than
46:10this.
46:11Make do for me,
46:12okay?
46:12My face was
46:14practically on fire.
46:15I gripped his
46:16broad shoulders, too
46:17nervous to even
46:18move.
46:20This is fine.
46:24After a long
46:25moment of intense
46:26silence, he finally
46:27spoke.
46:28I'm not mad at you.
46:29I'm mad at myself.
46:32I was pissed that I
46:34turned into such an
46:35idiot, getting
46:37kissed by a
46:38gorgeous girl at a
46:39party and not even
46:40managing to get her
46:40number, that I
46:42actually mistook
46:43someone else for
46:44her.
46:45Huh?
46:49Seeing the raw
46:50frustration in his
46:51dark eyes, I
46:53dropped my head and
46:54mumbled, it's not
46:55your fault.
46:56don't beat
46:57yourself up over
46:58it.
47:00Blake slid his
47:01large hand to the
47:02nape of my neck.
47:03He slowly, steadily
47:04neared the sensitive
47:05skin right there, like
47:07he was savoring the
47:08touch.
47:09Then, he lowered his
47:11head and leaned in
47:12incredibly close.
47:13I clutched his dark
47:15hoodie with both hands
47:16and held my breath.
47:20His voice was rushy as
47:21he confessed everything.
47:22He told me he'd
47:23actually seen my
47:24photos on the Arizona
47:25State University
47:26forum.
47:27Before he even had
47:28the chance to bump
47:28into me on campus, a
47:30social app suggested
47:31me as a contact.
47:32On Halloween night,
47:34Stephanie had added
47:35him through that app
47:36and messaged him.
47:40Want to try online
47:41dating, cutie?
47:42He thought it was
47:43me.
47:43He said yes without a
47:45second thought.
47:46Overjoyed, he agreed
47:47to meet his boys at the
47:48theme park, just so he
47:50could casually run into
47:51me.
47:51Noticing how tense I
47:52was, he hadn't pushed
47:54for my number, figuring
47:55we'd have plenty of time
47:57later.
47:58Who knew it would blow
47:59up into such a massive,
48:01chaotic farce?
48:03Hearing him admit all
48:04this, my pulse hammered
48:06wildly in my throat.
48:09So he was into me this
48:11whole time?
48:11I could barely contain
48:13the massive grin
48:14spreading across my face.
48:15I glanced around, the
48:17stair room was totally
48:18empty.
48:19I leaned forward and
48:20pressed a quick, bold
48:21kiss right to his
48:23lips.
48:26Blake, you must be
48:28absolutely head over
48:29heels for me too.
48:31Instead of answering,
48:32his large hand cupped,
48:34cupped the back of my
48:35head.
48:35He kissed me hard.
48:37My little peck was
48:38nothing compared to
48:39this.
48:40His kiss was deep,
48:42fierce, and entirely
48:44claiming, leaving my
48:45lips tingling and
48:47tingling and numb.
48:48When he finally pulled
48:50back, his eyes flashed a
48:52brilliant, primal gold.
48:55The light in the stair
48:56hell must be weird.
48:59The news that Blake and
49:01I were dating had already
49:02blown up the campus
49:03forum ages ago, even
49:06before we actually got
49:07together.
49:09That comment I left
49:11about the $300,000 of
49:12dare, Blake had
49:14replied to it.
49:15You want to kiss me and
49:16walk away with $300,000?
49:19You might have to kiss me
49:20again.
49:21The replies beneath it
49:23were absolute chaos.
49:25OMG, can you two get
49:26any sweeter?
49:27Gonna go watch a true
49:28crime doc to balance
49:29myself out.
49:34Please delete this.
49:35It's disrupting my inner
49:37peace.
49:39When are my bestie and
49:41I gonna trip and fall into
49:42a romance like this?
49:44I read those comments in
49:45my dorm, laughing so
49:47hard my stomach ached.
49:49On Saturday, Blake texted
49:51me a location pin and
49:52told me to meet him there
49:53at 5 p.m. on Sunday.
49:55I blushed furiously.
49:57The address was a luxury
49:59five-star hotel downtown.
50:01I nervously texted back,
50:03OK.
50:04The next day, I dressed to
50:06the nines and headed to
50:07the hotel.
50:08I picked up the key card at
50:09the front desk and walked
50:10into the suite.
50:12But Blake wasn't there.
50:14Only a ridiculously
50:16decorated room stared
50:17back at me.
50:19Massive bunkays,
50:21floating balloons,
50:22the whole romantic
50:24setup.
50:25Honestly, it was kind
50:27of tacky.
50:31Wait.
50:32Sitting right in the
50:33middle of the rose
50:34petals was a shiny
50:35Maserati key fog.
50:38Down in the hotel
50:39parking lot, I had
50:41walked past a massive
50:42transparent display box
50:43with a pink Maserati
50:45inside.
50:46I had assumed some crazy
50:47rich guy was pulling off
50:49an over-the-top proposal.
50:51Turned out, that crazy
50:52rich guy was mine.
50:55Fine.
50:56Forget everything I just
50:57thought about tacky and
50:58nouveau riche.
50:59This was amazing.
51:01Just as I pulled out my
51:01phone to call Blake, the
51:03bathroom door swung open
51:04from the inside.
51:06And there he stood.
51:08Blake, the untouchable
51:10campus genius, was dressed
51:12in a full bunny cop
51:15uniform.
51:16A pair of pink bunny ears
51:18was perched perfectly on
51:20his dark hair.
51:22Gosh, there was even a
51:23fluffy little pom-pom
51:24attached to the back.
51:26Through the gap in the
51:27open door behind him, I
51:28caught a glimpse of one of
51:30his frat brothers out in
51:31the hallway.
51:32The guy's jaw was
51:33practically on the floor,
51:35looking like he had just
51:36witnessed a federal crime.
51:38It was literally the
51:39cutest, most ridiculous
51:41thing I had ever seen.
51:42I smirked and crooked a
51:44finger at him.
51:46Come here.
51:47Let me get a good look at
51:49you.
51:50Amused, he let out a low,
51:53rumbling chuckle.
51:54He walked over, bent down
51:56effortlessly, and pressed a
51:58soft kiss to my forehead.
52:02Georgia, you're my mate.
52:05I want you to be mine.
52:10He steps forward, completely
52:13cornering me against the
52:14bathroom doorframe.
52:16His eyes aren't dark
52:18anymore.
52:19They are glowing, brilliant,
52:22unmistakable gold.
52:24I slowly reach up, my
52:28trembling fingers brushing the
52:29skin right beneath his
52:30glowing eye.
52:31It isn't a trick of the
52:33light.
52:33It is real.
52:35I grab the lapels of his
52:36ridiculous bunny cop uniform.
52:39I bury my face right into his
52:42broad chest and take a deep,
52:44slow breath.
52:48That familiar, icy scent wraps
52:51around my senses, grounding me
52:53instantly.
52:56My frantically racing heart calms down
52:58the second I press against him.
53:01His broad shoulders visibly drop.
53:06His large hands wrap tightly around my
53:08waist, pulling me flush against his body.
53:11No crazy werewolf myths, no complicated magic, just this intense, undeniable physical gravity
53:20pulling us together.
53:22I pull back, I pull back slightly, look up at the pink bunny ears perched on his head, and smile.
53:28I playfully flip the fluffy ponbon attached to his chest.
53:33For real?
53:39Blake freezes completely.
53:41His glowing eyes widen in genuine shock.
53:44His grip on my waist tightening, like he is terrified I might run.
53:49What do you think?
53:53Prove it.
53:55How?
53:57I grab his uniform belt and forcefully pull his tall frame down to my level.
54:02I stand on my tiptoes and whisper right against his ear.
54:07That's what he does.
54:09He lets out a low, whispered growl.
54:13He grabs the back of my legs, lifting me entirely off the ground.
54:19His large hands slide up just enough to give my ass a firm, incredibly intimate squeeze.
54:25His eyes, a dark, dangerous smile forms on his lips.
54:31Sure, if you've got the guts to watch.
54:34He crushes his lips against mine in a fierce, breathless kiss.
54:40He doesn't just claim me because some magical fate pushed him to do it.
54:45He chooses me with every single move.
