this world. And the fact she was a dancer meant curves and muscles in all the right places.
    He’d been a gentleman for weeks, held off because of her aversion to jocks and players, listened to her stories of being mistreated by those types of guys, endured who knows how many flashcards of Korean phrases.
    “So, let’s see, you’re a hip-hop character today,” Jaden said. “Mind if I beatbox to your steps?”
    “Whoohoo, yes!” Ella twitched and popped her limbs, marching up Durant toward his dorm.
    Dang, that girl had moves. The way she shook her shoulders, twerked her hips, her golden hair flashing and shimmering.
    All he had to do was add the mouth movements. “Buh shika puh puh boh chicah pubbub boom skika shh, shhuh, uh, uh, ow!”
    Jaden accompanied Ella up the steps of the I-house, through the secured doors. They jived on down the long hallway of stairs, past startled international students, many whipping out camera phones.
    The energy of the crowd fed them, and soon, Jaden was making up his own moves. He and Ella beat and jerked and twirled their way into the elevator.
    The door shut, and Ella launched herself at the same time Jaden lunged for her. Their lips and teeth crashed as lust surged like a firestorm. Hot, sweaty, slick, pulsing.
    He’d abstained from women, kept away from his frat, let Mark enjoy all the privileges of the funhouse, the bar, the hookup clubs, while he, Jaden Sloup, surrounded himself with techie virgins, designing software, soldering circuit boards and hacking smartphone apps.
    The elevator doors opened to the shrieks from a gaggle of Japanese exchange students. Again, camera phones were whipped out in unison, followed by fingers busily adding commentary.
    Ella was latched around him, her hands crawling up his back, her lips tugging insistently. It was all Jaden could do to insert his key into the keyhole.
    They smashed into the door, staggered over the threshold, and Jaden kicked it shut.
    “I’ve been wanting you for a long time,” Ella moaned, sultry like a porn star. She writhed and wiggled, her hip-hop bling jangling. “Want me to strip for you?”
    Sweat bloomed over Jaden’s forehead, and his heart fought to escape his ribcage. She was so freaking hot, sex written all over her tight tank, short shorts and smooth sweet legs.
    Jaden slapped himself. This wasn’t happening. In fact, he was hallucinating. Had to be. But no …
    He licked his lips as Ella unwrapped the bandana around her neck and tossed her crystal studded visor on the bed. A wicked smile curving her pink lips, she lifted and shook her hair, rolling her shoulders and hips like a starlet in a modern dance routine.
    Her flexible body bent backward, exposing her slim belly. What exactly did she expect him to do?
    Jaden sank into his leather desk chair to enjoy the view. He slipped his finger under the desk and activated his digital video recorder. Just because he wasn’t going to ask her to sign a waiver didn’t mean he wouldn’t take precautions.
    “What else will you do for me, Ella?” He leaned back in the tilting chair to alleviate the tightness in his jeans and present an inviting target.
    Bouncing and wiggling, her boobs approached his face and she straddled him.
    “I want to eat you alive,” she hissed in his ear.
    “You do? Can you say that louder?” Jaden cupped his ear. “I can’t hear you.”
    “I want to eat you, bounce all over you, and spend the night.”
    “What does that mean? I don’t understand.” He faked an Asian accent.
    “You silly, I know you understand English, but here goes,” she said, then took a deep breath. “Hago sip-eoyo seong-gyo.”
    “Wh-what?”
    “You know …” She tipped her fingernail on his nose and rubbed her crotch against his bursting erection.
    “Say it again? You sound so cute.” He had a clue it meant something fun and playful, but he wasn’t going to let on he didn’t know.
    “Hago sip-eoyo seong-gyo. I want to have sex.”
    “Hago to you
