You were serious?" Steven asked as he entered his hotel room, a grin on his face as he looked forward at the setup.

"Yup, damn serious." Connie sneered in a playful challenge, "You see what I'm wearing? Taking this as a competition."

Steven took a look at her adorable sporty look (blue and black trip sports crop top, with light blue active shorts), with her hair in a ponytail. "You're so cute. Especially the way your navel is peeking from behind your shorts trim."

Connie clicked her tongue before stretching straight up, showing her belly button, "Your words not going to save you, Biscuit, appreciated as they are. So take off your shoes, take off your shirt, and let's settle this."

"We haven't seen each other for a whole three months, and the first thing you wanna do is get tangled up on the hottest Friday night of the month." Steven teased, stripping off his shirt and shoes " I mean, if you wanna cuddle in a sweaty mess of limbs on the floor, you could have just asked, Nini." He laughed, seeing her face turn a bit red.

"Maybe if you're lucky enough." She grinned, pressing a button on the toy speaker. " We can make it a wager. The loser, IE: you; will have to do what the winner, IE: me; wishes. Deal?" Steven smirked, walking up to her, the sound of the polka dot mat, very slightly crushing it under his steps. "Deal." He gave her a gentle kiss upon her lips before hopping back to his side of the mat. "Not going to make it easy for you, though. I hope you're ready to get limber."

Connie smirked, hitting the start button on the speaker.

"Left foot green!" A joyful tone cane from the toy, prompting Connie to step on the closest green circle.

"Right hand blue!"

Steven reached down to the closest blue with his palm.

"Right hand yellow!"

Connie smirked, putting the called hand on the third yellow circle from her.

"Left hand blue!"

Steven smirked, putting his hand two circles up from his right.

"Right foot yellow!"

Connie licked her lips, putting her right foot on the closest yellow circle, effectively crossing her legs while bending over in a stretch.

"Looking good." Steven joked," friendly and limber.''

" Right foot green!"

"What was that, Biscuit? Nice Ssss~stretch, you say." She teased, seeing Steven think about his movement. She nearly laughed, seeing him shuffle the bottom half of the body to the side of the mat before stepping his foot on the second green.

" Left foot blue!"

"You cheated, by the way," Connie announced as she stepped to the second blue circle. Now in a triangular stance, " But I'm gonna let you go cause it was cute seeing you booty wobble."

"Hold on? How did I cheat?"

"Left foot red!"

*You can't wobble to the side for better entry, Steven." She reprimanded, watching him stretch his left hand to the second most circle on his side, putting him in an uncomfortable twisting stretch.

"OOh-hohoof! this- this is stretching those hidden muscles," Steven groaned.

"Left hand red!"

"Good, Biscuit. I can expect you to fall quite soon then." Connie laughed, putting her left hand on her third-highest red circle from her side, putting her in a slanted 'downward-dog like stretch

"That's a nice look for Ya, Berry."

"Oh really, " Connie smirked, giving her hips a playful little sway, biting back a chuckle as his face turned pink,

"T-T-that cheating." He complained,

" Right hand yellow!"

"You weaponized allure and your womanly wiles."

"There's no rule saying I can't." She grinned impishly, "now stop stalling and make your move."

Steven kissed his teeth before moving his right hand to the third Yellow from his side, effectively putting him in a not-so-steady crab stance.

"Ooh! Aren't we scary-looking?" Connie taunted in amusement.

"Right hand green!"

Connie bit her tongue in concentration as she thought of her next move, to go under or over Steven. 'What would make him lose his awareness more? Showing off my flexibility by sliding my body under or having my body hover over his, ghostly touching him.' Connie thought to herself before looking at his somewhat struggling stance.

His puffed cheeks and slightly wobbling form had her weighing her options towards the latter.

"Keep it steady, Bisky," The naughty knight teased as she reached over Steven, placing her right hand on the green circle right before the one Steven's foot occupied. Pressing her chest slightly on Steven's, making him gasp. "You doing ok, Crabby?" There was a slight bashfulness in her teasing voice.

"Uh-uh. y-yeah... " Steven began, his face a bit blush, " Soft,"

Connie blushed at his whispered word boring her lips.

"Left hand green!"

"Oop! Don't know how you are gonna do that." She laughed," Mind you, you can't move anything off the circles at all, nor can your elbows or knees grace the mat."

"I know that!" He growled before an idea got to him. He wiggled his left arm and shapeshifted his arm to press his palm on the green circle behind Connie's' hand,

"That's blatant cheating, Universe!" Connie announced, looking at the limb.

"How? I'm just stretching" smug mirth radiated from his side grin. " Not my fault; you don't have the same range of flexibility as I."

" YOU MEAN FUCKING SHAPE-SHIFTING!"

"People have called my dexterity magical, admittedly." He chuckled, seeing her snarl. "There is no rule against shapeshifting anywho. Mind you; the only restriction is not to fall, don't hog space and only feet and hands on the mat; I'm well within my rights."

Connie kissed her teeth before smirking, " Ok, Mister. If that's how it is."

"Right foot yellow!"

"That's how it is."

Connie nodded as she steps over his arm and onto the second yellow circle to Steven side, slightly sitting on his chest.

"Ni, this is cheating, you know." Steven accused, looking at the girl on his chest, trying to ignore the sensual warmth from her.

"House rules." She teased, giving him a chuckle.

" Right foot green."

He shifted the called foot to the first green circle on his steadying his stance.

"Left foot blue."

"I hope this isn't too hard or heavy for you, " Connie laughed as she pulled her left leg over him and sitting her foot on the third blue circle on Steven side, effectively sitting on his chest.

"Oh, you just enjoying yourself, aren't you?' He muttered.

"Like you aren't," She retorted. "I can tell you are, big guy, but I'm about to beat you In a move."

"Left hand red."

" fuck" Steven mutters as he moves his left hand into the third red circle on his side.

"You know..." Connie smirked flirtatiously, " You really do look good like this. All topless in bent over, under me. It makes a girl think about some things."

"What kind of things" He gulped, blushing.

" Right hand blue!"

Connie laughed as she bent back, lying entirely on his chest as her palm made contact with a blue circle. " Naughty~things." She whispered before making her final move and sucking on her Bestfriend and 'Mister' windpipe getting a loud groan out of him as he slid down, catching himself before he fell too close to the mat.

"Feels good, Heartberry... I refuse to bow to your low.. Salacious tactics." He grinned before she kissed him deeply, making him moan again,

-scritch!-

"That's your El- bows." Connie teased with a grin. "You lose, Mister." She kissed him again.

"You cheated." He returned the kisses, moving down to her collarbone.

"You cheated." She purred, moving close to his manipulations

"You cheated better."

"That I did, so I won on ann~nn. Mmm~hmhm ...Even game, Mister." She groaned in pleasure as his teeth dugged in her skin, suckling on her.

"True, so you want a prize, huh?"

"Um-hmm." She sat up, turning herself around, " I want to play another game." She beamed mischievously.

"Of twister?"

"Yeah..." she reached down, kissing his neck, " Twister..I'll start. My lips on yours ."

Steven grinned at the not-so-innocent in her voice, lying backs on the mat as they kissed deeper, more passionately as they began a newer, night-long game.
