Devil's Pawn (Completed)

9.

Caroline saw us and frowned.

"You guys are trashed." She said in disbelief. "Joe you don't even drink."

"I'm drunk as a skunk." I declared as River erupted into a fit of giggles.

"Mom I didn't drink as much as this one." He grabbed my hand softly and pulled me into his side. It was warm.

"Take her to the room. I'll tell her mom that I decided to keep her." She turned to me, "Joe. I'm not telling on you." She said smiling.

"But if you two had done something embarrassing I cannot cover your ass."

"Thanks Caroline. You're a real mom." I said standing straight as I caught her in a tight embrace. River looked at me with a mixture of looks. He grabbed my hand softly as grabbed a key from his mom then walked me out of the restaurant and into the hotel lobby. He walked me to the elevator but when we started moving I started feeling wheezy.

"River," I called looking at him.

"No no no. Jolie hold it okay." I nodded feeling tears spark to my eyes. I hated getting sick.

I felt his muscular arms circle under my butt and around my back and if I wasn't so drunk I probably would've squirmed.

I like drunk me. She doesn't stutter.

She doesn't squirm. She's perfect....

He ran to the door of the room we would be staying in, unlocked the door then ran me to the toilet in three movements. I emptied my stomach into the porcelain throne thinking of how many bottoms lay there in their time of need, this only fueled my stomachs desire to eat itself. I felt a hand softly grab the hair around my face then I felt his other one softly rubbing my back as I cried into the toilet.

"I shouldn't have watched you drink all of that. I forgot about this part."

When I was done heaving I turned to his covering my mouth. "It's okay. I feel better."

I stood slightly off balance then flushed the toilet.

"I need to brush my teeth and clean up." He nodded and went to the cabinets pulling out toothbrushes, tooth paste and a Cars towel.

"Cars?" I asked giggling.

"It's Riley's." he grumbled turning pink.

"Who's Riley?"

"My baby brother." He said smiling at the thought of him. I found my self smiling too until i remembered I needed to brush my teeth. I ordered him out and tended to my cleaning which included a shower. I got out and wrapped up in the towel until I realized I had no clothes.

I groaned knowing I had to go ask River for something. Harnessing all the drunkenness in me I opened the door holding the towel flush against my body and went to the room farthest away from the main room before knocking.

He opened it and his eyes took in my wet hair and towel caressed body. He took in every inch of me and I felt small under his powerful gaze.

"I needed-

His arms were on me in one quick movement. I felt myself being taken under by his full, pink lips making me tingle in all the right places. His hands felt around my body, still overtop the towel, but the areas he touched inflamed in ecstasy under his finger tips. I hadn't realized how much I wanted this, to be doing this, until I finally had it.

My first kiss.

With River.

River.

My eyes flew open and my hand retracted from his hair and body. I went to push him away but he snaked his hand up the towel to my private area. I let out a throaty moan which only seemed to fuel him. He pushed me back further on the bed losing whatever self control he had.

Friends don't do this.

"River." I mumbled against his mouth. He quickly retracted and looked at me in concern.

"You okay? Are you hurt? You want to stop?" He asked breathlessly looking at me worried.

"We weren't acting like friends." I mumbled.

"I'm drunk." He stated. "Not as drunk as you but I've gotta be if that just happened." He smiled at me before kissing me softly.

"Let's get you into something before you find something in you." he smirked before he walked away, his bare back shining under the moonlight that snuck in through the window.

"T shirt or button up?" His hair was sticking up at odd angles and he wore a crooked grin that looked as if it should never leave his face.

It was in this moment I knew I had fucked up.

I liked River.

"T shirt."

He nodded before chucking a blue one at me. I stood with the towel on me and waited for him to pull out shorts. He threw a small pair at me.

"Riley's?" I asked laughing at their tiny frame. He nodded sheepishly. "We come here a lot."

I nodded pointing to the bathroom. "Im gonna change-

"Right here." He said turning around.

"In the bathroom."

"Jolie." He warned with his voice.

"And if I don't?" I asked frowning.

"I'll make it up to you."

I smirked and arched my eyebrow. "Well that's too bad." And with that I walked from his room to the bathroom.
