Part 3: Dylan Wasn't Asleep Either
"I saw you," Dylan whispered.
My body tensed.
Saw me?
"In my room earlier. When I was flexing."
My breath caught. I didn't answer.
"You were staring," he added, closer now. "You think I didn't notice?"
"No, man... I--" I tried to deny it, but it came out too fast, too weak. It didn't matter. We both knew.
Dylan let out a soft laugh behind me, right into the back of my neck. "It's okay," he said, his voice low, velvety. "I didn't mind."
I swallowed, frozen under the blanket. Jake was still sleeping inches away, his slow, steady breathing the only thing grounding me. And yet--my entire body was lit up, wired, hyper-aware of Dylan pressed too close behind me.
The heat of him. The weight of his breath. The smell of soap and skin.
"I know you backed into me on purpose," Dylan murmured. His voice was darker now, edged with something sharp and sure.
"What? Really?" I muttered, barely above a whisper.
His hand slid to my waist, fingers resting there like they belonged. "You're such a little liar."
I didn't move.
Couldn't.
Because the second he pulled me back into him again, I felt it--thick, hard, pressing against my ass through his shorts. My eyes fluttered shut. I froze, breath sharp, but I didn't pull away.
Not even close.
My hips moved before I could stop them--just a tiny shift, slow and deliberate. Just enough to rub back against him. To take the shape of it. All of it.
Dylan exhaled, slow and shaky.
"You're seriously doing this while your best friend's asleep?" he whispered. "That's filthy, Troy."
