meeting at nine.”
“Why so early on a Sunday?” I asked.
He got up and stood in front of the mirror trying to fix his matted hair. “We’re giving the new recruits some chores to do and we have to make sure they all get done and get done right. It’s my duty as the President to make sure everything goes smoothly.”
I got up from the bed and stood next to him, looking at the two of us in the mirror together. Aaron kissed my cheek. “You’re beautiful in the morning.”
“You’re not so bad yourself.”
“We’re having a get together with some of the other social clubs tonight. Nothing formal. I’d like for you to be there. Would you like to come?”
I still didn’t feel comfortable in The Clubhouse but I could sense it was important to Aaron. “Okay, sure,” I agreed.
He kissed my cheek. “Be there around eight?”
I nodded as Aaron took my hand and lead me to the door. He kissed me then whispered in my ear, “I
can’t wait to see you again tonight.”

When I stood at the doorway to The Clubhouse, the same two guys were guarding the entrance as had been there the night of Parent’s Weekend. They looked at me as if they were trying to recall how they knew me. I was sure I was probably the only one who had refused to sign their book.
“You need to sign in,” the taller guy informed me.
“I’m not going to do that,” I countered.
The guy gave me a closer look then seemed to remember me. “You’re the girl, who Donovan knows.”
“I’m Aaron’s girlfriend,” I said matter-of-factly.
The shorter guy stifled a laugh. Asshole.
“Aaron said I didn’t have to sign the book, remember?” I was now fuming.
“Whatever.” The taller guy shrugged.
I marched past the two buffoons and headed toward the sound of rock music. There was a room, that had a fully equipped bar, dance floor and even tables for people to sit. It was like a small nightclub in their house. The room was about half full already and I wondered how I was going to find Aaron. I looked around but I didn’t see him. I did see his friend, Evan, standing with two other guys near the bar. Evan intimidated me but he was the only person I knew besides Aaron.
As I got closer to the bar, Evan’s gaze met mine and he gave me an odd look. It immediately made my stomach crawl and I decided against speaking to him. Then I saw him elbow the guy next to him and point in my direction. He spoke loud enough for me to hear him. “Hey, isn’t that the chick that Aaron scored with last night?”
My stomach lurched.
Evan continued. “I heard he walked out of the Virgin Vault early this morning. You know what that means. Aaron’s gonna post a big score on his card. Now that Aaron’s warmed her up, I wouldn’t mind giving her a go. I usually don’t go for his sloppy seconds but in her case, I think I’d make an exception. I
bet she’s still pretty tight. She needs a real man to really loosen her up.”
To say that I was completely and utterly disgusted would be the understatement of the year. I was so sick to my stomach I needed to get out of there and fast. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw Aaron.
He looked at my face then looked over at Evan and his friends. They were now laughing and pointing in my direction.
Aaron marched over to Evan. “What the fuck is going on?”
“What do you mean?” Evan said trying to stifle a laugh.
“What the fuck did you say?” Aaron was now seething with anger.
“I just wanted to know what that little girl is doing here? She didn’t get enough of you last night, so she came back for more? I guess she doesn’t know the rules of the game. Score and move on. Right, Aaron? Or maybe she’d like to give some of the other guys in the house a piece?”
I suddenly felt like I was watching something that wasn’t real. At least, I hoped it wasn’t real. Could I
really have been that stupid? Did it even matter that we didn’t have sex? Those guys already had their minds made up about both me and Aaron.
When Aaron looked at me, his expression was so pained, it pierced my heart. I knew I loved him but I
also knew that I couldn’t be with someone, who lied to me.
