"Well, I guess I'll see you then?"

Jagger rolled his eyes, "I can't just leave you helpless and alone if Eric is still walking around. You should also learn some defense skills or buy a gun or something."

"No weapons on campus."

"Stab him with a stilleto."

"Do you have an answer for everything?"

"Yes."

This was going to be trouble.

"Well, fine.. you can walk me back to my dorm," I shrugged, making sure Jagger knew this was platonic as I walked a few feet ahead of him.

"Anyone ever told you that you have a nice ass?"

"Sheesh, Jagger, I go from one asshole to another in ten minutes."

Jagger chuckled, "I don't hurt my women like that shit head."

Jagger

She was pretty, in a geeky sorta way.

I guess my alpha male machismo machine was working overtime and I was practically going caveman over her.

But not for the right reasons.

Moose would be reaming me a new asshole if he'd seen the display of force I'd shown in the library.

The vibes I had going on in the Libra tickled even me, but I couldn't let Julia know that.

I also couldn't let Julia know how much I wanted to bang her right there on that table.

In due time..

For now, I'd play the part of knight in shining armor and viola!

Putty in my hands.

I wasn't sure why I cared so much, but she was so distant from me and that was unlike other women.

I'll admit that it hurt my ego. I was a ladies man and Julia simply wasn't interested.

Well, I wasn't here to get my dick wet, I was actually here to help her.

Eric wasn't going to hurt her, I'd see to that.

"Can I see your dorm?"

Julia rolled her eyes, but allowed me in and it was just as I'd suspected.

Nerd city.

Julia

I needed to give him a book about war anyway so inviting him into my room didn't seem too unfavorable.

He wasn't shocked at my Star Trek and sci-fi posters all over the wall. The globe and piles of books that littered my room were an added accessory to my universe.

"Nice sheets," Jagger smiled as he pointed to my bedding, "The Mandalorian?"

I shrugged, "I like the show and Pedro Pascal, don't judge me."

He chuckled and reached for a book on my desk, "Oh, wait! This is a Danielle Steele novel. You read smut?"

I shook my head, "She writes contemporary romance, not smut. I like her work. I'm not a prude, Jagger,I'm just not interested in sleeping with you."

Jagger

Another stab.

I was beginning to enjoy my time with Miss Geek Squad, but I was mainly interested in taking her out to the party.

"You looked nice in that dress the other night. Do you have another one?"

She eyed me before snort-laughing.

Snort-laughing...

"I do, but why?"

I sighed, already making my way to her closet causing her to stumble over some books and stopped in front of me.

"What are you doing?"

"Checking your closet for the perfect dress. I know fashion."

She narrowed her eyes and pulled back.

"Somehow, I highly doubt that."

Jagger rolled his eyes,"I'm a jock, but I have three sisters who wouldn't shut up about clothes and boys. Trust me."

Julia

Trust him?

That was laughable, although he did help me out with Eric.

"Alright. Show me what you got."

We spent the next few hours until I yawned and Jagger chuckled.

"You're not getting out of going to this party with me, baby girl..."

Baby girl? Yuck.

Jagger

"Here, put this on," I handed her a short, black A-Line dress, lacy stockings and black heels.

She shook her head, glancing at me and my attire.

"What?"

"Well, why do I have to dress up and you don't?"

I rolled my eyes. Of course she'd ask that.

"I'm a jock. My jacket and jeans are fine."

"My jacket and jeans are fine, too."

I tried to put on the charm.

"I'll be good tonight, I promise."

"No."

"I won't bother you for at least three days after tonight."

"Three days? A week and I'll put the dress on."

"Fine. A week, unless you need me to kick Eric's ass."

She huffed and went to change while I sat on her bed. The smell of black currant and vanilla tickled my senses. I loved that smell.

When she stepped out of the bathroom, I practically jumped out of my skin..

Why were the nerds so fucking hot?

Why was my cock aching all of a sudden?

Why did I want to dress up for her?

Julia

I felt so naked, but sort of turned on by the way he looked at me.

"You're... you're beautiful."

I blushed, not wanting to– not in front of the jock jerk, but I did anyway.

"I guess I should take you back to my dorm and do the same for you.."

I raised my eyebrows in shock.

"You will?"

"Yep, you can pick out my clothes."

"Oooo, I like this."

Jagger shrugged, "I'm sure you do. Grab a coat."

We headed out, many stares and glares from the other students as we traveled to his dorm room.

He didn't seem to notice or he didn't care. For someone who prided themselves on reputation, Jagger didn't seem to mind having me on his arm.

"Just don't make me look like a machismo meatball alright?"

I laughed as we entered his room.

"Too late for that."
