of foam on her upper lip. I had to restrain myself from leaning over and licking it off. Instead, I watched with rapt attention while she slowly and deliberately licked it off herself.  
    "You're right. I was thirsty." She set the cup down, grabbed my hand, and pulled me to the dance floor.
    Our first dance was a slow dance. I couldn't keep my hands from straying to her completely grab-able ass. She didn't push my hands away. I figured she liked it.
    After the dance, she took my hand and pulled me out to the front lawn so we could watch the fading brilliance of the sunset. We talked and talked. The way she hung on everything I said, I thought she was really into me. She wanted to hear about my high school football career. I told her stories about me and Zach. Much later I realized she wasn't interested in me. She was pumping me for info about Zach.
    It was a fucking shame, too. At the time, I was dating Jordan. I had every intention of being faithful to her. Until I got to school and saw all the hot babes. Even then, I remained true. Until Morgan led me on.
    I broke up with Jordan for Morgan. I couldn't stand the guilt of leading Jordan on when I was falling for someone else.
    Morgan and I even hooked up a couple of times. Right now, sitting in ADIS, I didn't dare think about the mind-blowing sex we'd had.  
    Like a young, stupid freshman, I'd thought we had a thing going. Until I realized Morgan was using me to learn about Zach and make him jealous. She'd used me again. But this time, we'd used each other. I felt totally shitty about it. Somehow Zach had still come out the hero. Being hero was his gig, not mine.
    I'd slept with Morgan that night, thinking I could get her out of my system. Half amazed she was still in it. I'd taken advantage of her weakness and vulnerability. And she'd taken advantage of me. We were even. But somehow, we weren't.  
    I caught a whiff of her perfume and flashed back to holding her in my arms as she cried over my best friend, just as Larry called time.
    "That's it for the pretest. It's mostly for the state's information. They use it to see how effective these classes are. You'll take a posttest last thing tomorrow before you leave." Larry grabbed the chair behind the podium upfront and pulled it to the front of the room. "Now that the formalities are over, let's all get to know each other before we start the meat of the class. Grab your chairs and make a circle around me."
    If I thought I could escape Morgan, I was wrong. She and her chair stuck with me. When I set mine down, she put hers indecently close to mine. Like she was trying to get a rise out of me. And she sure as hell was.
    "Let's start by introducing yourselves and telling us how you ended up here. And anything else you care to share. Who wants to start? Raise your hand."
    When no one volunteered, Larry homed in on Morgan. Of course he did. She was the hottest chick in the session. And she looked so damned deceptively vulnerable and sweet. Like a lost puppy who'd been accidentally rounded up with the wolves. And the wolves were literally circling.
    "You." Larry pointed at her. "Morgan, isn't it?"
    She nodded, looking at him like he was a mind reader. "How did you know?"
    "I had a one in three chance of guessing right." Larry was a real trip. "I heard him say your name." He pointed at me. "There's a story here," he said. "Why don't you tell it? How did you get here?"
    I froze as the rest of the class stared at Morgan.
    When she chose to use it, Morgan had a smile that could melt a guy's heart. She flashed it at Larry, using all her Double Deltsie charisma. "I drank too much."
    "Go figure," Larry said.
    The class laughed.
    "Why don't you elaborate? We're listening." Larry rested his elbow on his knee, and his head in his hand, like he was all attentive ears.
    Morgan rolled her eyes. That got a laugh. She followed it by licking her lips and gnawing them like she was nervous. "Everything here is completely confidential?"
    I froze. Damn
