Chasing Fallen

Chapter 22

I took the three shots.

I didn't miss the smug look that Mackenzie and her friends wore on their faces as if to say 'I told you, didn't I. She's nothing but a prig.'

Just as I picked the card up, Mackenzie raised a hand, "This game is boring, let's play truth or dare instead." Cue groans from the football players.

I stared at her in shock. She just wanted to embarrass me!

Son of a b-

I glared at her even though she wasn't looking. I felt someone rub circles on my back with their thumb. I turned to see Easy was responsible for the unexpected touch. 'Don't worry about her,' he seemed to say.

I nodded and he dropped the hand. I missed the touch.

What are you sa-!

"Same rules apply, if you don't like your dare or truth, take three shots and get another dare irregardless of the fact that you chose truth."

I snorted.

There's no such thing as irregardless, dumbass!

Despite the initial hate the game received, people still played the game regardless.

Some people were dared to give lap dances, some girls twerked, some guys drank disgusting combinations of alcohols and some licked people's toes, you name it. The faint hearted who chose truth would be asked revealing questions. For one, Stella got Candice to admit where she was during the last game.

That's my girl!

The bottle landed on Easy this time.

He smirked as he shot up a brow at the guy who was supposed to determine his 'fate.'

"Dare." He said confidently.

That was the only thing his reputation would allow him to pick anyways. And the fact that he was already on his fifth beer, he was on a roll.

"Well, I dare you to... give a body shot to a girl next to you."

Would you look at that, I'm the only vagina next to him.

What a surprise.

He froze and gave me a look. Everyone was now attentive. Mackenzie was now on cloud nine. Knowing looks were passed amongst the group.

The prude wouldn't allow herself to be defiled by such a sinful deed.

I heard one of Mackenzie's friends mutter the P word which caused a couple of people to snigger. I could refuse but then people would call me a prude. Easy could take the shots but that would be the ultimate rejection and they'd think I'm undesirable.

Not that I care but still.

One look at the guy I could tell that instant he was going to go for the shots for my sake.

"Let's do it," I told him while getting up.

I had a false smirk on my face. Might as well give them a show while I'm at it.

My heart rammed into my rib cage in a way that was almost painful. I could feel the tell tale signs of a panic attack starting but I'd be damned if I broke down in front of these people.

Especially Mackenzie.

I laid down on a table as one of the guys gave me a lime to place into my mouth and another sprinkled salt above my navel.

"Hold still."

Was I shaking?

I fought to get a grip of myself until I stopped.

I felt the vodka being poured onto my bellybutton.

That tickled.

"Ready?" I heard Easy whisper into my ear.

I shook my head yes.

I definitely wasn't ready.

He bent down and licked the salt of my stomach in an excruciatingly slow way and I fought to stay still as a whole new feeling overcame me.

He moved down to suck the vodka out of my navel and I shivered, closing my eyes, relishing in whatever had came over me. When he was done he moved up and hovered over my face.

I sucked in a breath.

He shifted and moved towards my lips. Blood rushes down when I felt him nip at my lower lip lightly before gently sliding his teeth over to the lime. He removed the lime from my mouth.

I opened my eyes and watched him as he looked at me through hooded eyes as he sucked the lime.

Unconsciously, I bit my lip as my eyes dropped to his lips. By the time I had brought my eyes back up to his, his eyes were now on my lips.

I raised my hand and took the lime from his mouth before hooking the other around his neck and bringing him down to meet my lips half way.

I think I wasn't thinking straight.

I all but melted into him when we collided and solidified against each other when he kissed me back. Our lips moved in sync and I found myself trying to push myself closer to him. I slide my tongue across his lower lip and he gasped allowing me to slip it into his hot mouth.

A low moan escaped from the back of my throat when I felt him grip my naked waist.

"Way to go Cam!" That comment got me to remember that we had an audience and I pushed him back.

We stared each other for a moment and I resisted the urge to touch my lips.

What was that?

"So much for a prude," I said loud enough for Mackenzie to hear. She scowled at me.

"We gave them a show, huh?" Easy said his gaze intently on mine.

"Yes," I answered without thinking, again.

"I'm glad it worked out for you then." He said before turning and leaving the vicinity.

It was only then I realized how much of an asshole I was.

Before I could go to him, Stella ran over to me and gave me a hug. "Are you okay?" Apparently the game was over since Easy had left.

I nodded my head reluctantly and gave her a smile. "Let's go join the Vicky and Melisa. They've abandoned Candice, hey?" I told her.

Everyone joined their friends by the bonfire.

The some guys threw books into the fire making me wonder how long they'd hung onto them. I'd disposed of those the day I wouldn't set a uniformed foot at Saint Dominik again.

After a while of meaningless conversation with the girls, I flagged at Stella to go join her unoccupied boyfriend while I aimlessly walked around trying to figure out why exactly Easy had been so pissed off.

Thank you guys for your love and support!

I hope you're staying safe and having fun wherever you are.

So here we go.

I'll post next when the book has 750 reads. I'm sorry for doing this but I've been very busy lately so I can't post daily but I still needed something to base my update schedule on. I resorted to reads instead.

They are as unpredictable as I am. I was meant to be.

Anyways, Peace!
