Today's flash comes to you late again. Many apologies. I did plan to have the next segment of "Truth or Dare?" whipped up yesterday so I could post it this morning, but that didn't happen.
As always I would just like to warn you that this is the first and very rough draft - lots of mistakes included - of a little side project, which I have chosen to work on every Wednesday as part of my flash fiction group. Know that I am very aware it needs a good editing, but like I said, I have left this to the last minute again. So, it has just been the case of write, and post.
The prompt I decided to use this week was: "When did you become such a . . .?"
I hope you enjoy!
Truth or Dare?
My heart pounded like a jack-hammer against my
ribcage. The hit of amber liquid didn’t seem to be enough to steady the nerves
that danced through my entire body. I felt a slice of lime being dropped in my
hand, and the world suddenly turned hazy as Trey retrieved the segment from my
palm and placed it in his mouth.
I gulped. Heat flooded me and I wasn’t entirely
sure it was alcohol induced or the effect of sensual brown eyes locked on to
mine; twisting with unmistakable desire.
Straightening, he clutched me tighter; holding me
against his chest. The air caught in my throat as he leaned in. I stilled.
Afraid he would hear the wild beat of my heart, which currently seemed to
deafen me.
He arched an eyebrow. The movement pulled my focus
back to his eyes; a flicker of amusement danced there.
“Chicken shit.” His words laughed through my mind
as the corner of his mouth curled.
Dropping my shot glass at the side of us, I cupped
his head, and leaned in; catching his mouth with mine. He opened to me without
hesitation. The bitter taste of lime flooded my mouth, mixing with the after
taste of tequila and salt. The concoction had never tasted so delicious.
I shifted on his lap. The movement caused a groan
to emanate in the back of his throat as I rubbed against his covered erection. He
slid his hands up my back, his fingers tangled in my hair as he deepened the
kiss.
I could feel the segment of lime trapped against
his cheek. Its juice running into my mouth as our tongues tangled.
“Okay, so we’re going to go.” Kathy’s voice sliced
through my mind, and I suddenly remembered we weren’t alone.
“No.” I squeaked while attempting to untangle
myself from Trey’s clutches. “Stay.”
“It’s getting late.” She stood up.
I shoved at Trey’s chest. With a growl he released
my mouth. His hands wandered back to my waist; holding me in place.
“Stay over. I don’t mind.” I twisted in his grip,
watching in fear as Kathy pushed Benjamin toward my front door. “I can make up
the sofa bed.”
“I have to be up early tomorrow. I have a lot to
do.”
“Like what?” Ben asked while he pulled his jacket
on.
She gave him a pointed look. “Just some stuff.”
“What kind of stuff?”
“Since when did you
become such a nosey bugger?”
“I-“
“Can’t it wait?” The tone of my voice was
practically pleading. The weight of Trey’s hands on my back as he held me
against his erection had me shivering. Whether it was from fear or
anticipation, I had no idea.
“I really wish it could.” She opened the door and
ushered Benjamin out of the doorway. “But it can’t. I will call you tomorrow,
okay?”
“Kat!”
“Bye.” And with that she shut the door leaving me
with the hottest and most annoying man I had ever known, or wanted.
“So, truth or dare?” His voice rolled over me.
With a clenched jaw I turned back to him. “Games
over.”
“Not for us, baby.” Without taking his focus from
me, he spat the lime slice on the floor. “It’s only just begun.”
Until next week!
