04/04/08 Who: Rae, Fox, Keagan, Astrid, Jack, Cassie When: Friday night Where: The beach house! What: SPIN THE BOTTLE!
Jack had made the suggestion -- somewhat buzzed, as they all had been, most of the week -- that Cassie come up with their Friday night activity in between horror movies and junk food. Rae, who was not as tipsy as her brother but in a good mood, readily agreed. Until Cassie suggested Spin the Bottle.
"Wait...." she said, blinking.
"Seriously?" finished Jack, with a grin. "We need rules, though. Like .. Keagan can't punch Fox or I if we get Astrid, and .."
"Uhhhhhh," Rae drawled, eyes huge, "how about 'spin again' if you get a sibling?"
Jack cracked up.
Rae looked nervously from Cassie to Keagan, then back to Cassie. Was everyone really wanting to do this?
---
Of course Cassie wanted to do this! She was setting herself up to have the opportunity to kiss all three hot guys without causing trouble! She laughed listening to Jack and Rae before putting a hand up for silence. "Not too many rules because I'm not sure we'll remember them. K?"
"No Jack and Rae kissing, no getting jealous of any matches." She coughed, spitting out "AstridKeagan" almost as one word with a cheeky grin to the couple. "What are we doing about getting the same person multiple times and what about same sex pairings?" Cassie asked them all.
---
Fox had been sitting back with his beer in hand listening to the conversation. This could definitely turn into an interesting game. "I've got an idea about that." Grinning wickedly, he leaned forward in his seat, holding the bottle by the neck between his knees. "What about each we get the same partner, the stakes increase. Like the first time can be a short kiss, lips only. After that, there's a minimum of time, say," he shrugged, "Oh five seconds, that increases by five each kiss." Deciding to be wicked, he added, "On the third time with the same partner, it upgrades to frenching."
As for same sex, hmm. Fox thought for a moment about what to do there. Glancing between Rae, Cassie and Astrid, he thought it'd be pretty hot to see the girls kiss. "For same sex, guys take the girl on the right. Girls have to follow through with their spin."
---
Astrid was just as cool with the idea of spin the bottle, and she'd already had a joint or two to mellow her out pretty substantially. "I think that those are totally acceptable rules." Astrid sighed, the sat up a little to look at Cassie with a smirk. "And yes, fair is fair. It's stupid to get jealous of matches or y'know, the whole preference thing. But, to be fair, I am not into guy on guy. At all. But, for the sake of sating your hilariously male appetites, I will totes kiss a girl if necessary." Astrid leaned back in her seat, well, more like a stack of pillows on the floor, relaxing. "Keagan?"
---
"What, you have a problem with same sex kissing for men but not women, Fox? And here I thought we had equality of the sexes." Keagan threw Fox a very tongue and cheek grin. "I suppose I have no issue with the 'rules' just that we are doing it in general." Keagan would have cared a lot more if he was sober. As it was, he'd spent the last day baked and was in a very mellow mood. He'd go with anything just about.
---
Rae liked baked Keagan. He was just as sweet as sober Keagan, but less tightly wound. "That's ... completely unfair, but whatever, I don't really want to watch Jack kiss either of you guys so I have to agree by default," she said, with a high pitched giggle.
"This is so fucking grade school," she said, with a smirk, and peeled herself off the couch -- where she had been nestled against Cassie -- to sit on the floor, looking for the others to follow. Jack followed suit and immediately sprang to sit across from her.
When everyone was in a circle, Jack chugged the remaining sips of his beer and sat the bottle on the ground in the middle of everyone. "Who's first?"
---
"Grade school." Cassie repeated Rae's words in an imitation of her accent, grinning as she slid down to sit next to her roomie on the floor. It was a habit, whenever people said something that was a very American term she always wanted to repeat it in an American accent. As for Fox's rules... "I'm cool with the new additions. Although I would have so tried to convince you guys to kiss each other like us girls will have to." She shrugged but she was still smiling so it was clear she wasn't that fussed.
Almost as soon as Jack asked who went first Cassie reached out for the bottle. "Me of course. Dur!" She giggled happily before giving it a good spin. Round and round it went, slowing until..... it landed on Keagan. Great, of all the people it had to be him. Not that he wasn't hot, because he blatantly was, but he wasn't the easiest going one of the group.
"I promise I won't bite." She joked, leaning across the circle to him to give him a quick kiss, behaving and everything.
---
Keagan somehow managed to not flush or anything. He leaned forward and accepted the little kiss given. He agreed he would play along so he would. Still the whole idea of this game seemed like a way to cheat on his girlfriend... or vice versa.
---
Fox was next and he reached out to give the bottle a spin. This could definitely turn into an interesting game. He watched the bottle slow and it finally rolled to a stop right in front of Rae. Interesting. Arching a brow at her, he leaned across the bottle and stopped a moment, his lips an inch away from hers before brushing over them softly.
---
"Whaaat," Rae said, when the bottle landed on her. Too odd. She felt her chest close up, the chambers shutting like Sci-Fi spaceship doors. Jack snickered from across the way, and when Fox leaned forward, Jack pretended to gag.
Rae, not to be out done, leaned forward with no fear as Fox did, eyeing him a bit suspiciously as their faces grew close. Then he kissed her, and she returned the kiss a little stiffly, but with good sportsmanship, her eyes staying open, on their interlocking mouths.
When it was over she rocked back onto her rear, holding her knees and laughing. "Flash back."
---
Astrid clapped her hands together and smiled, as if performing some sort of magic over the bottle. "Ooookay, my turn, let's see how this goes." Astrid actually liked games like this. It was, just like Keagan was thinking, a way to kind of be devious without getting in trouble for it.
Astrid gave the bottle a vigorous spin and waited for it to fiiinally come to a stop. In front of Jack.
Chuckling, Astrid leaned forward and crooked a finger at him. "C'mere, you."
---
"...Ahahaha," Jack laughed, just a tad nervous, as he cast a furtive glance to a pouty Keagan. "Sorry dude," he said, brusquely, before popping forward onto his hands and knees and brushing his lips quickly over Astrid's. It was a nice, easy kiss, and though his lips were soft and his chin was rough with a five o' clock shadow, he mostly got the corner of her mouth.
---
Keagan frowned slightly at Jack but said nothing as Jack kissed his girlfriend. He reached down and gave the bottle a good twist, watching as it spun, slowed, and pointed at his girlfriend. He grinned and leaned over quietly and kissed her quite a bit longer than the 'first kiss' limit.
When he pulled back, he smirked at the others, "What? It's not my first time to kiss her."
---
"Awww!" Rae cried, as they snogged each other fierce, and then she reached for the bottle as it was her turn. Her first spin landed on her brother, which brought groans about, including from Jack.
"Spin again!" he cried, laughing. "Getting to it!" she said, with a snicker, and when the empty beer stopped spinning it was pointing to... Cassie.
Rae blinked and looked over at Cassie, who was beside her. Then she grinned.
---
Cassie smiled as Keagan played along good naturedly with being the first victim of the game and let her kiss him. Of course she totally grinned at the Fox/Rae kiss but didn't say anything.... yet. Worst was the random skip she felt at watching Jack kiss Astrid but watching Keagan make out with his girlfriend was too sweet and funny.
Now Rae... Cassie's eyes sparkled with amusement as she saw the bottle pointing at her and looked over to the other girl. "Close your eyes Jack." She joked, letting Rae kiss her and returning it just a little. What? It was instinct, and that was the excuse she was sticking to for now.
---
Rae's lips were soft against Cassie's, and tasted of vanilla gloss. Her kiss with Cassie was more animated than her kiss with Fox had been, which might have raised an eyebrow. Jack watched, screwing up his face, and was already reaching for the bottle before the two broke apart.
He spun, and it landed on Astrid.
"Oh jeez... what was the rule again? Keagan's gonna kick my ass." He looked up at the guy with a smirk.
Jack really wanted to keep it cool, and just sort of make it be an elongated peck, but it was impossible .. just a little bit. As the kiss went on his jaw shifted, lips pushing up to really give it to her. He refused to look at anyone as they broke apart.
---
Astrid chuckled and sat up, moving towards Jack as she spoke. "I think this one's ten seconds. It increases by five..." Astrid was already inches from Jack's face, and her voice kind of lowered as she got distracted. "Each time... I think..."
Astrid was a bit like Cassie. It was kind of impossible not to want to return a kiss, and while the first couple of seconds would have been easy not to, the longer the kiss went on, the more it was starting to turn into an actual kiss.
----
As soon as Jack and Astrid parted Cassie distracted herself (and hopefully Keagan) by spinning the bottle straight away. Poor Keagan having to watch that, even if it was sort of hot according to the chaos demon.
She was brought back to reality again though as the bottled stopped on....Keagan again. "What is going on? This bottle is totally biased!" She laughed, shrugging and looking to him. "I'm sorry?" Wait, why was she apologising? Going to hands and knees she moved towards him, trying to keep the kiss as platonic as possible unless he let it be more. She didn't want to make him uncomfortable, even if he was definitely hot enough to make her want to enjoy this chance.
---
Keagan could not have possibly frowned more at Jack and Astrid without flat out scowling or being more sober. Really, it was a little streak of petty jealousy that made him kiss Cassie back when she kissed him, turning their kiss into quite a kiss. If Astrid was going to enjoy herself, Keagan would too.
---
This was turning into an interesting game after all. And people were getting the same ones over again. Fox reached out, since it was his turn and spun the bottle. After several anxious second, it landed on him. "Since I can't kiss myself, I'm spinning again." Quickly, he spun the bottle, waiting to see who it would land on. Jack. Fox gave a quick shudder. "I'm so glad we changed that. To the right, right?"
Looking over, he saw Cassie sitting on the right of Jack. He grinned before leaning over and pressing his lips against hers.
---
Now there was one she felt comfortable milking but they didn't have quite the good reason to do it. Still she smiled as she realised she was his kiss this turn. Cassie definitely responded to Fox's lips on hers, not taking it far enough for anyone to protest too much that she was going past the point of the game, but enough.
---
The fact that Keagan kissed Cassie didn't bother her too much. In fact, it made her feel a little better, because, last time she checked, all guys liked to kiss chicks at some point. But, hey, what did she know? Astrid grabbed the bottle and spun again, waiting patiently to see where it would go.
And it landed on Cassie.
"Hey, Cassie, I guess now we can see if that 'something' you say I have you can get." Astrid chuckled and moved over to her.
---
Cassie laughed as she saw the bottle pointing to her once more and she wriggled. "I like this game!" She proclaimed with a grin, moving towards Astrid too to meet partway.
"So long as I don't pick up the Trekky sex thing too!" She winked before moving to close the gap and of course responding a little. Cassie was getting into this game and she may as well milk this particular girl on girl kiss since all the guys could enjoy this one without problems she figured.
---
"Trekkie sex? Do I want to know?" Keagan asked, reaching down to spin the bottle. He watched the bottle slow to a stop pointing at Cassie. "Did you put a magnet in the bottle, Miss Cassie?" He smiled and leaned forward.
---
"Ask your girlfriend. Preferably in klingon" She joked. Cassie wasn't sure she remembered everything they spoke of on their drunken girly night but the Trekky sex had stuck with her.
Seriously?!? The bottle loved her tonight! The chaos demon was definitely not complaining as she grinned to Astrid with a "Sorry! Except, so not!" and then moved in to kiss Keagan, according to the rules with tongue, her, hand resting on the curve where his neck met those lovely shoulders of his.
"Mmm, I see the attraction...." she winked to Astrid as she parted from Keagan.
---
Jack finished up his Tex Avery wolf impression (tongue lolling, eyes bugging) just as Cassie and Astrid parted. He had been hooting and hollering something fierce -- probably along with Fox -- and now, Rae, whose cheers had been muted by her brother's, reached for the bottle.
"Man, Cassie, you're popular," she said, giving the bottle a hard spin.
"Chaos element. Has to be," said Jack, watching the bottle........once again land on Cassie. "OH!!!!" he cried, very loud (and shirtless). He was dying of laughter now, and even Rae developed the giggles and twisted around to face her roomie. Ten seconds? No problem.
Rae pulled Cassie in with her hands on her arms and planted a big kiss on her, one hand reaching up to hold onto her shoulder, their lips meshed, eyes closed.
---
The chaos demon loved an audience so this game was making her night. "If my chaos factor can do this I need to exude it more often!" She exclaimed, laughing and watching the bottle before it settled on her yet again. "I love that little bottle." Cassie decided before being pulled in for the kiss. She was surprised by Rae's performance so instincts well and truly kicked in. Cassie's hand rested on Rae's waist, eyes fluttering shut as she got into the kiss.
"Mmmm" Cassie murmured, rubbing her lips together once parted. "Why didn't we play this sooner?"
---
"Alright alright," said a giggling drunk Jack. Watching Cassie kiss his sister was not fun. Watching Cassie kiss Astrid had been more than fun. Tipsy, riled, and unbelievably amused, Jack could barely contain his laughter as he spun the bottle sloppily. It shimmied a few feet over, and then slowed to a stop.
The glimmering mouth of the bottle pointed at none other than the chaos demon. "No fuckin' way!" he said, laughing, but then clambered forward -- almost kneeing Rae's ankle, as the little shifter had now stretched her legs out into the circle -- to lock lips with Cassie.
Despite it being their first kiss, his hand went up to cup behind her head, and he pushed his mouth against hers, eyes closing, and slipped her the tongue.
"Whooaa!" cried Rae, eyes falling out of her face.
---
"Full set!" Cassie exclaimed as Jack landed her for a partner, just like everyone else had done so far. THIS she had been waiting for and she was extremely glad it happened finally else she would have had to find a way to tempt him out the room to make out with him anyway before she exploded from frustration.
His kiss was met with equal enthusiasm, the demon automatically pressing her body tight against Jack's as very nice memories encouraged her along with his tongue. She didn't even think about the reaction this was going to get from the others who didn't know they'd done this before.
It was with great reluctance that she finally had to part from him, not quite back in the real world for a few seconds after. "Um.... where were we? Oh yeah my turn." She was almost blushing, which was quite rare for Cassie really. Still kneeling as she hadn't really had the chance to sit down for a few turns now, she reached out and spun the bottle. Fox was her person this time.
"Mmmm good night." She crawled across the circle to him, head tilted. She was all riled up now and playing to the max.
---
Fox had hooted and hollered for the girls on girls kiss, both of them, and loved them. Jack and Cassie had gone at it pretty hot and heavy, making him wonder if it was their first time kissing like everyone thought. He heard the bottle being spun again and looked down, seeing the mouth of it pointed at him and the demon moving.
Fox grinned as Cassie moved towards him. He met her partway and slid his hand behind her neck, rubbing his lips over hers. The rules stated a minimum of ten seconds, but he didn't mind going over that limit, sucking her lower lip into his mouth and laving it with his tongue. Slight sparks tingled through his lips, and he was sure hers as well. Kissing between an angel and a demon could easily become addictive in his opinion.
Reaching out as Cassie moved back to her seat, he spun the bottle, watching it make its rounds and finally land on Rae again. Better and better. Scooting towards her, he cupped the back of her neck with his hands and moved his mouth to hers, licking her lips lightly before settling into the kiss.
---
Rae didn't even see Jack grab Cassie's belt loops and pull her back just as their kiss ended, muttering -- laughingly -- about a second-time rule because holy shizoli, Fox landed her again. Motherfucker...
She got up onto her knees and waited for him to come to her, heart beating, and then almost jumped when he licked her lips before actually kissing her. Not to be outdone or called chicken, she returned Fox's kiss full force. As the seconds ticked by her tiny hands gripped at his wrists and her lips parted, which was third-time-around only. She pulled away from him abruptly, then pecked his lips quickly. "There, ten seconds," she said, softly, before settling back on her her ankles.
"Astrid spins."
---
Astrid couldn't help but kind of gawk at all the Cassie action, and then the kiss between Rae and Fox. Nice. Goddammit, those two had chemistry!
"Yes, I spin." Astrid said, spinning the bottle quickly and watching as it slowed and slowed and then stopped. In front of Fox.
"Okaaay..." Astrid sighed a little, then turned to Fox, who was beside her. She leaned close and pressed her lips against his easily, the kiss lingering for a moment before she pulled away again.
---
Fox grinned as the bottle landed on him once again. Bonus! Getting to kiss all three women in a row and none of them getting pissed off! He leaned towards Astrid, kissing her back lightly. "Uh-uh, that was only three seconds." He had counted. Moving forwards, he kissed her again, making sure that he got the last two seconds of the kiss. Sitting back, he smiled easily. "Keagan's next, right?"
---
Keagan was scowling at Fox. He wished that it had been Jack rather than Fox. He didn't say a word but reached down and spun the bottle. It aimed at Rae, and a little happy vindictive streak flashed in Keagan's mind. Fox liked Rae. He leaned over and kissed her quite soundly.
---
Rae blinked as Keagan landed on her. Was Astrid going to be mad? Her and Jack had got at it, but, uh, well -- no time to think, because Keagan was kissing her and .. wow, Keagan was kissing her.
At this point in the game Rae was more than a little tipsy (she had been buzzed to start, and had not slowed down in her alcohol consumption during) and excited due to a certain number of kissings sent her way. So when Keagan planted it on her, she sucked in a long breath through her lips and returned the kiss, a tiny voice in the back of her head screaming; "Astrid don't be maaaaaaaad!"
As they parted, there was a loud puckering sound, and Rae smirked and blushed, returning to her spot.
"GOD, Rae, Cassie, Keagan, Fox... such a slut," he said, with a grin, reaching for the bottle. It spun around and landed on Fox. "NO CASSIE," he said, before the little chaos demon could say anything, and he dove forward to spin again, giggling at any attempts to be made to prevent him.
The second spin landed on Astrid, making it their third kiss. The frenching kiss. "Awwhhoohoho," he said, laughing, moving forward with his head canted toward her. He smelled of beer and a little like sweat.
"I feel like we should have asked Jack to put on a shirt on PRIOR to playing," Rae said, just as Jack planted a kiss on Astrid. He wouldn't french her though. Ten seconds began to tick by but he kept his tongue to himself, though he did bite her lower lip a little as he started to pull away.
---
Astrid wasn't mad at anyone, nor did she reeeeally feel all that jealous. It was probably because she was pretty tipsy at this point and for her, that meant a general state of 'who gives a fuck'. So, when Jack kissed her, she had every damn intention of enjoying every second of it.
Not that she was waiting for it or anything.
When he started to pull away, though, biting her lip and not having kept up the full end of that kiss, Astrid smirked and grabbed his shoulder, tugging him back here. "You're cheating, there was no tongue there." She said with a devious little giggle, pulling him back in again.
---
Jack grinned like a jackal. "You heard her, Keag," he said, just as their mouths meshed and he pushed his tongue past Astrid's lips with one broad, strong sweep. His hand kept his balance on her cheek, and then he broke it up quickly, rocking back to his seat. "Sorrrrrry.." and he was sorry. Astrid had MADE him!
---
Fox and Rae's kiss had made her cheer majorly and clap. That was something Cassie was definitely supporting. Even watching Jack and Astrid just made her laugh and cheer the witch on in getting what she was promised according to the rules of the game.
Giving the bottle a good spin Cassie watched as it slowed down waiting anxiously until it finally landed on Rae. "Ah! Awesome! This is what? Our fourth?" It wasn't. It was their third, Cassie had just lost track of it all now. "We so need new rules for this!" She joked as she turned to the girl next to her.
She didn't kiss her straight away though. Instead she shifted around to be infront of Rae and shuffled so she was pretty much in her roomie's lap. Cassie's hands tangled in Rae's hair as she kissed her thoroughly, really milking it.
---
Hoooooly shit. Rae laughed nervously when Cassie came up with the suggestion of "new rules," and wondered where the adorable demon was going with this when suddenly... Cassie was crawling on top of her. "Oh my God," Rae said, laughing, hearing her brother crack up and fuzzier voices. Her attention was more so on the hands in her hair and the kiss.
She had no idea Cassie was like this! Hell, she had no idea she was like this! Sure, she liked looking at girls and had kissed one or two under similar circumstances, but.... this was the most action Rae had ever gotten with a female, and she liked it. Parts of her liked it more than other parts, and she wriggled under Cassie, her body going into automatic drive as she returned the kiss, one hand gripping Cassie's thigh as the other gently clung to her forearm, like it had Fox's.
When Cassie pulled away Rae was beet red and laughing up a storm, eyes glassy, lips split in a huge grin. "Whose... whose turn is it?" she stammered, laughing and falling against Cassie, giggling.
---
"It's mine." Fox had cheered loudly as the demon and shifter went at it full force. It was enough to make him forget the death glare he'd received from Keagan just minutes before. Muttering under his breath, "I'm so glad you girls agreed to this," he spun the bottle.
It had to be a conspiracy, but he wasn't going to complain. The bottle clearly pointed to Rae. And this was the third kiss, which meant tongue was a must. "Ready for this?" Tossing a teasing glance at Cassie, he added, "Hopefully I can live up to what you just did." Fox leaned forward rubbing his lips over Rae's before parting them and slipping his tongue inside, kissing her fully and deeply. Damn, she tasted good. Dark, forbidden and sweet. Easily addictive.
---
Rae snorted at Fox's 'ready for this?' and pushed against him, sucking in through her nose as her arms wrapped around his neck. She was fully into the kiss --- probably because of the alcohol and what Cassie had just done to her; that was her story, at least, and she was sticking to it.
"For fuck sake," Jack said, from beneath the visor his hand was making. "When am I going to be allowed to look up again?"
Rae giggled into Fox's mouth and swirled her tongue over his, sweet and warm. She cupped his face with one hand and brushed her finger pads over his ear before the kiss broke off after due time, her teeth scraping his lower lip as she moved away.
---
Astrid cleared her throat as the two of them finally pulled away, and she clicked her tongue as she picked up the bottle. "You can look again, Jack." She smirked, then she spun the bottle once more.
Okay, seriously? Fox? Again?
"Are you cheating?" Astrid asked, turning to look at him with a slightly defiant look. Sheesh. Kiss number two. Astrid leaned over towards Fox and took a deep breath before she kissed him.
----
Fox shook his head. "Nope, I swear. Blame the chaos demon," he teased, hooking his thumb over his shoulder. He leaned in towards Astrid, pressing his mouth firmly against hers and kissing her well. His lips parted slightly and he nibbled on her lips during their ten seconds, backing off after rasping her lower lip with his teeth.
---
Annoyance was not a strong enough word for the jealous thoughts going through Keagan's head. Jealous! That was the word. Keagan wanted to piss off Fox for having kissed his girlfriend. There was one way to do that. He spun the bottle and very subtly shifted the little bits of dust and dirt on the ground under the bottle so that it stopped while pointing at Rae. He leaned over, nabbed Rae's shoulder, and pulled her in for a long, deep kiss. When he pulled back, he smirked right at Fox.
---
Rae certainly was not expecting such.. vigor from Keagan, and was almost caught off guard when he grabbed her and pulled her close. Head swimming with booze and hormones, she returned the kiss and wondered if this was where all that pent up virgin energy was going.
Mmm, virgin energy.. pent up.. the idea was tasty. Virgin guys were sweet, they always loved any little bit of attention and were like a very weak dam holding back lots of hormonal... liquids..
Her train of thought continued thusly, her ears turning bright red as she melted against Keagan a little, eyes closed, and then it happened.
She moaned, just a little, into his mouth, their lips temporarily parted. It was so fast, she thought it was him, at first, and then when she realized no.. it was her (she could tell by the high pitched, hyena like laughter coming from her brother), definitely her, she pulled away, blushing hard, and scrambled back to her spot covering her face and laughing. "Oh GOD SORRY AAARGH!"
Jack fell over laughing, into Cassie's shoulder.
Rae just.. would not look up at anyone for a few seconds, laughing, her face going from pink, to red, to almost purple. "I'm druuuuunk," she said, with a laugh, looking over at Cassie with a pout. She felt bad, too, and it was hard to hide.
"It's your spin," Jack informed her, laughing so hard he had to wipe tears from his eyes. "Dayum, Keagan!"
Rae reached for the bottle, totally not ready to kiss anyone else, and spun it. When it landed on Fox, she looked up at him, still tomato-faced. "When are we calling it quits?" she asked, laughing, remembering Cassie's "4th kiss" display. This was their fourth kiss, wasn't it?
---
Fox noticed the glare from Keagan and was grateful that kissing Astrid was totally worth it. He wasn't jealous of Rae kissing the mage. He might have been if they were dating, but he wasn't. Or so he told himself.
Seeing the bottle land on him, after Rae had just moaned into Keagan's mouth soured it a bit. Not for long though. He moved across the floor and slipped a hand into her hair, keeping the kiss light for the first couple seconds, then deepening it as per the rules. Damn, but Fox could get addicted to this. Best. Game. EVER!
---
Unfortunately for Fox, Rae's "slip up" with Keagan soured her, too, and she was too embarrassed to really focus on anything other than how much of a fucking goober she was. She looked embarrassed before the kiss, during the kiss, and just as Fox's tongue brushed against hers, she pulled away and made the kiss a lighter, less serious lip-lock, her lips engulfing his upper lip, one hand going up to touch his cheek.
When she pulled away, she looked down, smirking, and found her place beside Cassie again.
---
Jack spun, laughing harder, and the bottle slowed to a stop somewhere between Rae and Cassie. Rae smirked and grabbed Cassie's arm, pulling her more toward her, in the direction of where the bottle was facing.
"God, this game is awesome," her brother drawled, and leaned forward, grinning, glassy-eyed, to plant a smack on Cassie's lips. He didn't deepen it unless she did, though. He was still giggly, and was having fun just moving the game along. Though part of him wondered if he could get HER to make noises. Later.
---
The chaos demon had been cheering it all on and when Rae moaned against Keagan she burst out laughing and grinned to Astrid. "Wow, I'd keep an eye on her if I were you!" She was just teasing of course but maybe it was needed. This game was getting a little dangerous at points, they needed to keep the humour flowing.
"Eeep!" Cassie let out the little girly noise as she was tugged by Rae but since it now put her in the position to kiss Jack she was definitely grateful. Much better than it landing on his sister and it being respun. Of course she deepened the kiss, not only did she just like kissing him but she was drunk. Her hands even instinctively roamed in his lap while they were kissing. Still she kept it looking mostly innocent from the other's points of views unless they were watching where her hands were.
Once parted and her eyes sparkling with mischief (hoping she'd succeeded in making Jack a little uncomfortable) she reached out and spun the bottle silently, watching it slow and land on Astrid. "Oooh witchy! Shall we show the guys how it's done?" She winked and let out a dirty giggle as she crawled across the circle to Astrid.
---
Giggling, Astrid smirked and sat up some so she could crawl towards Cassie. What the hell, this was the fun part! Doing things you wouldn't normally do. And after as much to drink as she'd had, she had no issues going above and beyond the call of duty.
"I'm all for showing them who's boss," Astrid laughed. Of course, right around that time, Cassie was kissing her and so all thoughts of a witty comeback went out the window as Astrid kissed Cassie back, taking her time and hey, enjoying the fact that she knew all the guys in the room were enjoying it.
----
Enjoying it? Hell, Jack wished he had a trumpet so he could star in a one-man parade to celebrate the two of them. He had let out a whoop of triumph when the pair was made, and was eagerly watching until their lips met. "BEST VACATION EVER," he declared, drunkenly, looking over at the other two guys. Come on, fun for everyone!
---
Fox cheered, raising his beer in toast to Jack's statement, finishing the bottle, he set it aside and reached out for the one in the middle. Giving it a quick spin, he watched it go round and round, slowing and finally stopping in front of the chaos demon. "Cassie, you're mine now. What number's this for us?" He grinned wickedly and cupped the back of her neck, pressing his mouth over hers and kissing her thoroughly, not even caring what the rules were just now.
---
"So now isn't the time to admit I have telekinetic powers right?" Cassie joked with a wink and laugh, even though it was the truth, although she wasn't using them at all. They'd be seeing quite some action with Jack if she were.
She responded to Fox's kiss with enthusiasm, hands in his hair like it had been with Rae, biting his lip slightly before they parted. As she sat she stole a glance at Jack to see if there was even a touch of jealousy again.
---
Jack had been watching Cassie's hands, and now he watched them slide up into Fox's hair. He reminded himself this was a fun game, all in good humor, and it was pretty clear that she WASN'T touching his crotch, and that the two of THEM weren't going to get it on later.... and he was pretty sure he and Cassie were .. at least, he thought it was clear. Aw, hell.
Somewhere in the middle of their kiss he got up to get himself a beer, and returned, serious faced. Because...the beer was hard to open, or so he figured. He twisted it off with a tight jaw.
---
Astrid was so caught up in having a good time that nothing even resembling jealousy had reaaaally crossed her mind. Although, she wasn't nearly all that interested in Cassie and Fox kissing. So, when Jack got up, she kind of gave him a sideways glance to see what he was up to, but tried to ignore the serious face. Huh. It seemed like the game was starting to run its course. Especially since she'd caught the way that Fox and Keagan seemed to be squaring off.
Grabbing the bottle for herself, Astrid sighed and spun once more, then blinked as she realized it had landed, AGAIN, on Fox. "Okay, I may have to cut you off after this one." Astrid smirked, looking next to her at the boy. "Otherwise, this could get dangerous." She had to admit that the more she kept kissing Fox, the more she was liking it. Except she couldn't quite figure out WHY.
---
Fox smiled. "Kiss number three, Astrid. Y'know what that means." He leaned forward, cupping her chin in his hand, sliding his other arm around her waist and slipping his tongue past her parted lips. Fuck Keagan. He got to kiss her all he wanted and he was dating her. He agreed to the game, and so did Astrid. So Fox was simply playing by the rules. And loving every minute of it. He kissed her fully, even slightly going over the time minimum, but that's what it was, right? A minimum.
---
Astrid would have been totally fine if he hadn't put his arm around her. Once he did that, though, Astrid found herself literally melting in his arms like icing on a Cinnabon and kissing him back. In fact, icing and Fox were two things that actually kind of went together in Astrid's brain at the moment and... what was... she thinking? Her hand slid into his hair and she shivered against him up until they finally, FINALLY pulled away from each other.
Blinking, Astrid cleared her throat and brushed hair out of her eyes, sitting back again, reaching up to wipe her mouth. "Hoooo... ooookay." She giggled, nervous, as if that hadn't looked crazy.
---
Keagan was pretty much seeing red. She. Melted. She'd clearly loved it and he'd never seen her do that when he'd kissed her in the past. Not that he would have seen it, being the person participating in the kiss but still. He wasn't thinking straight, booze and weed clouding his judgement. He paused, not really realizing it was his turn right away. Once he did, he frowned and started to stand, "You know, it's late and I'm rather stoned. I'm going to go pass out."
---
Fox watched as Keagan stood, ready to call it quits right after watching his girlfriend get kiss senseless. It had to have been the weed and the alcohol, but Fox had little to no filter over his mouth right now. Arching a brow at the mage, he taunted, "Whatsamatter Keagan? Too chicken? Or is watching your girlfriend kiss another guy too much for you?"
---
Keagan didn't say anything, he just glared at Fox, kind of wanting to open the ground underneath Fox and let the annoying asshole be swallowed into a chasm. Keagan reached down and spun the bottle.
It slid to a stop pointing at Rae. Keagan leaned in and french kissed the hell out of her, even though it was only their second kiss. He let the kiss draw out until he needed air again and pulled back. He didn't wait for anything else to be said, "Good night, all. Have fun." He didn't look at Astrid as he headed up to his room.
---
Rae sort of knew what was coming, though she was in complete denial of it, and looked almost frightened as a vengeful, horny?, but INCREDIBLY HOT Keagan came at her. She returned the kiss because every inch of her body wanted it, even though a tiny voice in the back of her head let out a cartoon like ' Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! '
She panted as he broke away, and her arms unraveled from behind his neck as she fell backward, once again on her back. They had started the kiss that way; once the bottle landed on her she had flopped backward with a tiny embarrassed cry. Now she lay on her back, staring up at the ceiling, breathing hard and heavy.
---
The cocky smile slowly fell as the bottle landed on Rae and Fox's face hardened. The bottle had to be rigged. That was the only way to explain it. It may have been their second kiss, but it sure as hell didn't feel like it to Fox. Keagan went above and beyond the call of duty and Fox couldn't help but feel a knot in the pit of his stomach. His fists clenched and his eyes blazed bright blue, burning into Keagan's back as he retreated. He watched the stairwell for a moment before shaking his head and consciously unclenching his fists. His eyes switched back to his normal brown and he forced a casual smile for the group. "That was interesting." To say the least. Jealous? Hell no! Fox Wiley didn't get jealous of anyone. Right?
---
Astrid glanced between the others, from Rae to Fox and caught sight of Fox's eyes blazing blue before she turned to look back at Keagan. Oh boy. She was clearly in trouble with Keagan. Great.
"I'm gonna go make sure he actually goes to sleep and doesn't, y'know, pass out and puke or something." Astrid said as she stood, waving at everyone. "Night, guys." Astrid turned and made her way up the stairs so she could go find Keagan and... probably apologize profusely.
----
"WOW, who saw THAT coming," Rae said, still on the floor on her back, as sarcastic as could be. She stared up at the ceiling and folded her hands on her stomach, her hair spilling out behind her.
Jack snickered, looking between her, Fox, and Cassie. "Okay. Game over. I'm tired." Riiiight. He looked over to Cassie, a bit hungrily, then up to Fox with raised eyebrows. "That was fun."
---
Cassie watched the drama with way too much amusement that she was forced to stifle from showing on her face. Jealousy was part of what tended to make spin the bottle so interesting, but she didn't think it would get as bad as it did. Oops.
She laughed softly at Rae's comment and tilted her head to Jack. "Yeah, I'm kinda tired too. Guess I should head to bed....." And if he didn't get that hint he was a lot dumber than she could even begin to imagine. Hell the others could probably guess by now.
Standing up the demon stretched, then leant over to pick her drink up and finish it. "Goodnight guys." And with that she dissapeared towards the stairs, pondering how long Jack would take to make his way there.
---
Fox returned Jack's look. "Yeah, that was fun." If his voice was a little strained, it wasn't because he was jealous. He was tired, that's all. After watching Cassie leave, he arched a brow at Jack, a silent 'you gonna tap that?' to the other man. It was perfectly obvious to him what was planned.
He deliberately avoided looking at Rae, who was still on her back, with a smug look on her face from snogging Keagan, the bloody bastard.
---
Jack flashed Fox a wolfy grin, getting to his feet, and then looked down at Rae. He nudged her with the toe of his socked foot. "You going to bed soon?"
She propped herself up on her elbows, head swimming, and groaned before laying back against the cool tile again. Drunk and dizzy, the kitchen floor was actually very comfortable. "Yeah."
He nudged her again before heading up, clapping Fox on the shoulder as he passed.
Rae looked over at Fox. "Proud of yourself?"
Upstairs, Jack caught up with Cassie, his hand reaching for her arm. He pulled her close, into him, and kissed her hard. "Hey," he growled, smirking. "What you gonna be doing in a little bit?"
---
Fox grinned at Jack, an honest and heartfelt one and watched the man he'd come to like and call friend ascend the stairs. More than likely to his own room for a few minutes before heading to Cassie's. He shook his head and chuckled. May as well have just gone in. It was plenty obvious, but oh well.
Glancing over at Rae, he arched a brow at her. "Whatcha mean?"
---
Cassie had taken her time in climbing the stairs and then left her door open so by the time Jack caught up with her she was just pulling her hoodie off. The kiss was much appreciated, especially because of the forcefulness he was showing. What? The demon straight out got off on guys being forceful!
"You?" She purred.
---
"Going out of your way to piss Keagan off by shoving your skull down Astrid's mouth," Rae said, with a smirk. "I think you took it a little toooo far, don't you? I know we were keeping it light but I would think there's an understood rule about taking it easy on the girl with a present boyfriend." After all, Jack had.
Jack's grin turned absolutely evil, and he let out a throaty growl in his throat, his grip on her arm tightening. "I wanna just check on Rae before bed. She's totally freaked out, I can tell, even if she's shit drunk. Then... I'm going to come back here.." he said, leaning close and sniffing her neck, before giving her a gentle nip, "and rip your clothes off."
---
Fox shrugged. "I didn't rig the bottle to land her, and I was just following the rules." He leaned back against the sofa behind him, happy for the current support. "If they had a problem with it, they shouldn't have played." Lifting his hand, he wagged a finger at her. "Don't forget, Astrid pulled Jack back when he tried to back out of the Frencher."
---
Wow, that growl paired with the rest of it was enough to make things low down in Cassie tighten in anticipation. "Go look after her, but don't take too long or I might have to get started without you." She joked, kissing him again quickly before she let him go and deliberately turned away from him. She was definitely in a playful mood tonight after that game.
---
"Yeah, but that's ASTRID. Jack pulled back." Yes, she was comparing him to her brother, and apparently her brother won this little argument. "Whatever, I just hope she's not pissed at ME." She didn't really care if Astrid was pissed at Fox. She didn't seem it, what with the way they had swapped spit.
"Grr," Jack voiced, before disappearing. He was going to do the three checks -- face clean, armpits stink, breath okay? -- and change into PJs.
---
Fox canted his head to one side. "You are aware that she kissed me back, right?" He paused for a moment to let that sink in. "And who're you to talk? I didn't see you fighting much when you were playing tonsil hockey with Keagan." He leaned back against the sofa. "That's the pot calling the kettle black."
---
"The difference being Astrid obviously didn't care about Keagan kissing me half as much as Keagan obviously cared about people sucking out Astrid's fillings," Rae replied, without missing a beat. She didn't appear insulted at all. She was too drunk. She pulled her legs up, eyes half lidded, and attempted to sit up. Her head swam, and she almost fell over before catching herself.
"Erg."
----
"So Astrid's laid back and Keagan's got a stick up his ass. That's not new information." Fox was pretty sure he wasn't helping his case here, but dammit! She moaned, fucking moaned during her first kiss with Keagan. What the hell was that? And there was nothing going on with him and Astrid, they'd decided that a couple days ago.
---
Rae revisited her moan at the same time Fox did, as was made evident by the sudden way she cringed and covered her face with her own hair, very drunkenly. She started pulling her legs under her.
---
Fox clenched his jaw. It was obvious that her mind went back to kissing Keagan by the way she groaned slightly and started blushing. Frustrated, Fox stood and moved towards the door. "I'm going for a run." His high was completely killed, he felt perfectly sober and he needed to do something. Push his mind and body to exhaustion so he could come back and sleep. So he wouldn't have to think about Rae's arms around another man.
---
Run? How could he run? "Uunngh, that sounds good," she said, trying to stand and failing. She laughed and gripped the fridge, using it for assistance. "Too drunk to shift though. I'd be afraid to try." She snickered, and then it became a giggle.
"How can you run?" she asked, watching him head out.
---
Fox glanced back over his shoulder. "I didn't drink all that much, if you'll remember." He arched a brow at her. He definitely was not expecting her to tag along. He had thought she'd stay at the house, and go back to her bed shortly. That way he could come back inside and not have to face her. Not have to think about - fuck! Biting down hard on the side of his tongue, he tried to focus on something else. "How on earth are you gonna be able to run?"
---
"What? No, I'm totally not going to," she said, almost laughing in his face. She snickered and tucked her hair behind her ear. "I was just saying I'd LIKE TO, but I can't shift like thissss..." she raised her arms and did a little spin, almost falling into the counter. "Whoops! Haha. Okay. So, I'm gonna go to bed and hope Astrid doesn't kill me in the morning... or in my sleep...."
---
Fox nodded. "Alright then." That meant he could get the brutal punishing run he wanted, and not have to worry about her faceplanting in the sand. "Drink a glass of water before you go to bed. It'll help your hangover be less brutal." For a moment, he paused right inside the door, wondering what kissing her would have been like without an audience, without time constraints or rules. Shaking his head lightly, he immediately displaced that thought. For one, it wouldn't have happened in the first place. And two, they didn't want each other, so no point in kissing anyways.
"Sleep well, Rae," he added, smiling softly as he moved out the door and started pounding the sand with a hard, steady pace
