"Okay Lexie Wexie, looks like this is a great time to play your little game." Tommy jokes. A few of us are left after the party has died down and we all decided to jump into the hot tub on the second floor deck.

Tommy's eyebrows jump up and down on his face as he playfully splashes some water on the blonde girl with a big chest that sits beside him.

Lexie obviously sees what he's doing and rolls her eyes. "Yeah, sure, whatever." She huffs, wrapping her hair up into a messy bun on the top of her head.

It doesn't skip past me that Alys eyes had followed Lexs every movement since entering the hot tub. Looks like they might have some leftover business.

Cameron scoots closer beside me, laying his hand around my shoulder to bring me in close to him. "I'm going to get Tommy so bad," Cameron whispers in my ear.

I can't help but laugh. "I'm so ready to see that." I laugh, nodding my head.

"Okay, since I'm the birthday boy, I call choosing first," Cameron says to the group. This ought to be good. I sit back in my seat and spread my arms to rest on the ledge behind me.

There are about six of us in the hot tub, including Tommy's arm candy, so we're all squeezed in here pretty tight.

I knock my knees with Cameron's to egg him on.

Cameron pretends to look around the group, choosing wisely. He scans his eyes on each of us until he finally lands on Tommy.

"Tommy, my boy." He grins, sinisterly. "Truth or dare?"

"Go ahead, do your worst." Tommy says, shrugging. "Dare." He flashes a smile over at Cameron and that's when we all know he fucked up. He looks at his girl beside him as he takes a long sip of whatever is in his drink.

"You talk a big talk. Let's see what you've got." Cameron's lips curl back, showing off his glamorous smile. "Show us the goods. Whip out your dick."

Tommy nearly spits out his drink. His dark brown eyes go wide and he looks at Cameron, petrified. "You can't be serious. For the first dare?"

"What? You scared, Tommy Boy?" Lex laughs.

Tommy shoots her a glare from across the hot tub. "Nah, it's just a heavy dare for the first turn."

"I don't like to beat around the bush." Cameron sighs. "Speaking of a bush, show us yours or get out of the tub." He says, leaning his back on the ledge.

The heat of the hot tub mists in the air, clouding around us. But we can all still see the anger bubbling up on Tommy's face. This is genius. He deserves it.

"What do you have to hide? It's just a dick." Cameron laughs.

Tommy's nose flares as he stands up. We have all switched out into our boxers and bras and panties for the girls so there's really nothing to be left for the imagination anyways.

He dips his fingers into his waistband and lowers his boxers enough for us to see his black hairs trail down his lower stomach and all the way down—

"Fuck this. You guys are such losers." He huffs, dipping down into the water. We all break out laughing, splashing the water at him.

"That'll teach you to not make my girl friend cry." Cameron laughs, laying a loud kiss on Lexs lips.

This warms my heart. He's a good guy to her. I love seeing him happy and I can only wish I could find a love like that.

Something stirs in my stomach at that thought. My eyes drift over my shoulder and to the house behind me. I can see through their tall windows that decorate the back wall and making it visible to see into the massive living room.

I can clearly see a tall, figure moving around in the kitchen. My stomach drops. There's only one person that could be. My mouth is suddenly dry as I turn my attention back to the game.

"Okay, it's my turn now." Tommy spits.

"I don't know, you didn't even follow through with yours. I feel like you missed a turn." Cameron shakes his head.

"Yeah, I agree." I nod.

Tommy rolls his eyes and smacks the water with the back of his hand. "That's so dumb. I had a really good one too."

"You're such a baby." Cameron rubs his hand over his face but I can see the grin he has. He loves teasing Tommy and I love watching him do it. "Okay fine. Go for it."

Tommy's posture straightens up as he smiles, clearly happy he got his way.

"Make it good," I say, picking up my drink from the table beside me. I feel a poke to my ribs, making me splash a little bit of the mixed drink inside my cup.

"Hey, watch it." I laugh, nudging Cameron in the chest. He laughs it off as I sit back in my seat again. He's such a shit.

"Asher, truth or dare?" Tommy's voice cuts through the chatter around us.

What could be so good for him to want to choose me? It was Cameron who gave him the shitty dare.

I see the evil grin on his face as he looks at his girl and then back to me.

He could ask me something inappropriate that I wouldn't want to answer in front of everyone. That'd suck. I'm not really the "tell all" type of guy. Or, I bet he'll ask me something lame for a dare. I don't really care about kissing Lexie or Aly since there long time friends of mine and I know it wouldn't mean anything nor do I care about showing my body. If I'm honest, I work out regularly and I'm pretty proud of my dick size so realistically, I have nothing to worry about.

I shrug. "Dare."

"Dun dun dunnn" Cameron says beside me.

"Ou, fun!" Lex claps her hands together.

I look back at Tommy and coax my eyebrow. Do your worst, Tommy.

"I dare you..." His gaze goes to me and then for some reason drifts off to the side of my head. "...to kiss Hayden."

My heart jumps into my throat. All of my confidence, shot. Did he just say who i think he just said?

"What? Dude, ew. What the hell?" Cameron says, disgust on his words.

"H-he's not even playing." My voice comes out a little softer than I mean it to.

I turn my head to catch another glance at him in the kitchen.

This time he's watching us behind the glass. He had switched into a hoodie that sat over his dark hair, leaving a dark shadow over his eyes. He sips on a glass full of something I can only guess is some type of liquor.

"I can't." I say under my breath, more to myself.

"Yeah, Tommy, come on. That dare is impossible. Just because you don't have a dick doesn't mean you have to be one." Cameron kicks his leg up, splashing water in Tommy's face.

"Oh come on!" Tommy wipes his face with the back of his hand. "If no one is going to do any dares, why are we even playing this game?"

Oh, fuck that. I'm not going to be a chicken. Not like Tommy.

I look back at Hayden who has now drifted over to the couch inside, playing something on his phone.

He looks so detached. So unbothered. That same annoying feeling stirring up inside my stomach.

Fuck this. I'm doing it.

"Fine, whatever." I pick up my drink and finish it off in one swig.

"Wait, what? You're actually going to do it?" Cameron asks, watching me get up and climb out of the hot tub.

I shrug, picking up a towel I brought out from the deck ledge. "Yeah, whatever. It's just a kiss."

"He's going to kill your before you get that close." Lex laughs. All their eyes are on me, watching with anticipation. Cameron actually looks like he's worried.

I dry off my brown hair as best as I can with the towel. Suddenly I'm really nervous about not wearing that many clothes. I'm suddenly feeling very nervous in my boxers.

Actually, no. It's fine. I'm fine. We'll all be fine.

"Watch and learn, losers." I say, heading to the door.

Holy shit. Am I doing this? I'm actually doing this.

The sliding door makes a louder sound than I anticipated and I'm feeling all types of nervous.

Hayden's eyes flicker to me as I step inside, closing the door behind me.

Soft music is playing on the stereo in the living room as I quietly walk over.

"Hey." I say, making my way over. I scrunch the towel in front of my body.

I see his eyebrows scrunch together as he takes in my very exposed and damp form.

"What are you doing?" He asks, shifting awkwardly. His legs are spread out on the couch with his ankles crossed.

"I uh—" I stop a few inches away from him, staring down at his face. I look up to see the group staring at me through the glass. From their angle, they'd be able to see everything which has me panicking only slightly.

They'll be able to see Hayden beat me up and kill me for even agreeing to this. I guess I should be thankful that I have witnesses.

"Spit it out, Shadow." He huffs, attention resuming back to his phone on his chest. He lifts his one arm to rest behind his hand and I can't stop myself from glancing down at the way his sweater lifted up from his waist, exposing the smallest area of skin. Immediately I feel my breathing pick up at the sight.

"I got dared to uh— to kiss you?" It comes out as a question but I got it out all the same.

His eyes drift from his phone back to me. I swallow deeply, feeling myself wanting to retreat.

The corner of his mouth surprisingly tilts upwards. Does he find that amusing? I lift my head to show confidence and try and straighten my posture.

"You want to kiss me, Shadow?"

I roll my eyes, pretending to be annoyed. "It's a dare."

"So you don't want to kiss me?" He questions, his eyes squinting at me. I feel a small ounce of sincerity in his voice which makes me hesitate. I don't not  want to kiss him. Fuck, I definitely don't want him to think I don't want to.

"I—I guess I" I stutter. Annoyance burns inside of me. Why the hell do my words just forget how to "word" around him?

His confidence constantly makes me question my own and it's infuriating.

"You don't have to butter me up, Shadow. Just come and do what you got dared to do." He sighs, resting his phone down on the coffee table beside him.

My mouth almost drops open. Was he giving me the go ahead? Holy shit.

Hayden was actually going to allow this to go down?

"I can hear your thoughts from here. Are you going to kiss me or just stand there all night?"

I immediately drop my towel and sit on the edge of the couch beside him. I rest my arm on the back of the couch so I can lean over top of him, my hair flowing down into my face. I watch in amazement as his green eyes drop from my own down to my lips.

Holy fucking shit. We're doing this.

"God damn it" he breathes. Suddenly he brings the hand that was resting behind his head down and grips the back of my neck, pulling me in.

Our lips crash together, gently and fiercely, all at once. The first thing I notice is his taste. The taste of his mouth ignites something in me. It's like a taste I've been chasing forever and didn't even know it. His lips fit perfectly along my own, parting softly as he tips his head to the side to help me align my lips even better with his.

My tongue has a mind of its own as it slowly slips past his lips and into his wet, warm mouth. I'm more than pleasantly surprised to feel his soft tongue meet mine in a delicate and delicious tangle. Every brush of his tongue feels like a lick straight to my dick and it's making me feral. I'm getting lost and dizzy in this dance and I never want it to end.

I lean further over his body, taking in everything I can get. Burning this to my memory. I never want to forget this.

This is what I've been waiting for. This is better than I've ever imagined.

Holy shit. I'm making out with Hayden Holt.

His hand on the back of my neck turns into a tug of my hair. Without thinking, my mouth opens up and a moan slips out.

A fucking moan.

We both freeze. It's as though the sound of my moan broke through the silence, waking us up. We both straighten ourselves out and I back up from him, standing up again.

"Thanks." I breathe.

"Yeah. Whatever." Hayden sits back and resets his posture on the couch. My eyes flicker down to his black pants.

I can see an impressive outline of a boner. A rush of pride and excitement flows through me at the sight. He fucking enjoyed that. I made his body react like that. I'm going to be living this high for a long time.

I look down at my own waist. My straining dick presses against my boxer briefs. I'm going to have to deal with that later, surely.

I look back up to Hayden who's eyes are on my length too.

A rush of heat grows up my neck. "I guess I'll—"

"See ya." He finishes, nodding his head and turning his attention back to his phone.

I got the message. Conversation over.

Picking up my towel, I head back to the group outside. The second I open the door, whistles and hollers startup.

"You dog. I can't believe you did it." Tommy laughs, clapping his hands.

"I told you I would." I shrug, laughing as I step back into the hot tub. Smiles and laughter fill the hot tub but I can't help but notice that Cameron is quieter than I thought he'd be.

"You okay?" I say, nudging his shoulder.

He gives me a quick glance and then looks away. "Yeah. Just don't ever fucking do that again." He sighs, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "If you gotta kiss a dude, kiss me, not my brother." He laughs, running his hand through my hair.

I groan, trying my best to push him off. "You wish." I laugh.

We all return our focus back to each other and I think it's safe to say that the game had ended after I blew everyone out of the water with that kiss. Not literally but yeah.

I turn to steal another glance at Hayden inside but a sadness returns in me as soon as I realize he had moved from the couch and disappeared yet again.
