CHAPTER 357
~Valerie's POV~
On my way back to the dorm, I slowed when I caught the sound of muffled gasps, a breathy moan carried by the night air.
Curiosity tugged at me. Against my better judgment, I stepped closer, careful not to crunch the leaves underfoot.
At first, the shadows made it hard to see, but then the girl tilted her head back, and I froze. The hair, the scent, I knew them.
My eyes darted to the man pressing her against the tree under the covers of the night and the tree's shade, fingers buried between her thighs.
His face was unmistakable, down to the faint scruff along his jaw.
And the moment she moaned, whispering for him to go faster, there was no denying it.
My breath hitched, and I stumbled back against the wall, praying they hadn't heard me. But they were too lost in each other.
His hand gripped her hip possessively, the other driving between her thighs with an urgency that made her bite her lip until it trembled.
