Matt’s POV

I watched as my friends pulled names out of the box for Short Shit’s new game. Sure the first one was okay, but what happened to just plain old drinking and having fun with your friends? Wasn’t tonight supposed to be about relaxing and celebrating? All I wanted to do was sit down and have a drink with my friends and my girl, but if this was what they wanted to do tonight, then I would oblige. Bring on the games! Especially since I wasn’t one to back down from a challenge—we all knew I was the most competitive one!

My eyes wandered back over to Maya as Johnny stopped in front of her with the box of names. I bit down on my bottom lip, my eyes scanning down that little sexy dress she was wearing. As she leaned forward to pull a name, her ass peaked out of the hem of her dress. I bit my knuckle to suppress a moan as my dick stirred back to life in my pants. I swear she was trying to kill me tonight because it was taking every ounce of my being not to drag her back out to my car to have my way with her. Oh, the things that I would do to her…

I shook my head as she pulled out Matt Berry’s name, though it didn’t really register. Come on, Sanders! Get ahold of yourself and get your head in the game! This is exactly the behavior that got you in this predicament anyway. Maya wouldn’t be wearing anything this revealing if I hadn’t tried to fuck her as soon as we walked into my house, avoiding the whole awkward greeting with my parents. But come on now, that wasn’t my fault!

“And last but not least,” Johnny said, appearing in front of me with the box. I pulled out the last piece of paper and handed it to Johnny. “And Shads is with DJ.” Before I could even blink the mop of bleach blonde hair was standing next to me, giving me a smile.

“Oh, I’m so ready to kick some serious ass,” she said, rubbing her hands together as she looked around the room. DJ was a spitfire and definitely more like one of the guys than a girl. “Those Berry brothers are going down!”

As soon as I registered what was going on, my eyes went directly to Maya, my heart starting to race in my chest. What was she going to think? The last time she encountered DJ, it was exactly a shinning moment in our history. Thankfully, over the last two weeks of tour, DJ kept her distance and didn’t interfere. But now we had to be connected together for who knows how fucking long to win this game. Something told me Maya wasn’t going to take it well, so I gave her a reassuring nod. Maya had to know that she was my one and only and a game wasn’t going to change that.

Oh, but if looks could kill, DJ would be lying dead on the floor right now. Maya glared at the blonde roadie until I met her gaze. Was she seriously threatened by her? She had to know by now that my heart was fully with her and that there was no way I was going to back out. That was just ridiculous. Besides how could I look at anyone else when she was wearing that outfit? I mean, my eyes had been glued to her all night.

I gave Maya a pointed look and a nod, trying to tell her not to worry about anything but all she did was shrug her shoulders and turn back towards MB. What was that about? Did I do something wrong?

“And now for the body part!” Johnny announced. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Gates standing with a tight jaw, glaring across the room at Avery and Jason. I guess he still didn’t like the thought of them together. I thought he was past that but I guess some things die hard.

Short Shit slowly made his way around the room and when he stopped at the Little Gnome and JB, Gates pulled Jess closer to read their selection. He really needed to relax. It wasn’t like Avery was going to drop him for Berry, not when she had been staring at Gates all night. He was fucking blind if he didn’t see it because I even noticed, and that said something.

Ave hesitantly reached in the box and pulled out a slip, her face instantly turning bright red when she read it. That girl would blush over anything, wouldn’t she? I mean, it really couldn’t be that bad could it? Unless it said dick to dick but I think Johnny knew better then that. But then again, we were talking about Short Shit here.

“Head!” Jason yelled, causing the vein to pulse on Gates’ neck when they leaned in together. “Hands to yourself, Berry,” Gates growled but Jason pretended not to hear him. Instead he started talking to his brother.

“You are so going down,” Jason jeered, pointing a finger at his brother. “You’re not fucking beating me this time, old man!”

“Hey! I’m only a few minutes older than you, dickwad. Besides, I’ve got Maya on my team who can out drink your sorry ass any day of the week!” MB shot back and I couldn’t help but laugh. That was probably true.

“Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is?” Jason shot back and Ave started gapping.

“Uhmm, Jay, I-I don’t think that is such a good idea,” Avery stammered, causing Matt to laugh. She looked pleadingly at Jason but he was too busy glaring down his brother, which was really a sight to see considering their heads were touching.

“Ha! Even your partner thinks you’re going to lose, little brother!” MB yelled, pulling out a piece of paper. “And we’ve got the best of all! We got back, M!” he laughed, spinning her around and putting their backs together. Maya looked at me and I shot her a wink as Johnny headed in our direction.

“You ready to kick some ass, Shads?” DJ’s lofty voice sounded next to me, pulling my attention. “Those two block heads aren’t going to know what hit them.”

“Damn straight,” I nodded, watching Maya and Matt banter back and forth with Avery and Jason. Wont they be surprised when they both lose? With a laugh, I reached into the box and pulled out a slip of paper. “Hand.”

DJ quickly took my hand as I met Maya’s gaze. Her expression was unreadable, but I could definitely tell that something was wrong. The smile on her face didn’t reach her eyes and she was barely responding to MB. She wasn’t jealous, was she?

I smirked at the thought and leaned back against the doorframe behind me. I never thought I’d see the day when Maya Brandon was jealous, but here it was. And let me just say that there was something extremely arousing about it. It only made me love her and want her even more, though she really had nothing to worry about. DJ and I weren’t anything more than co-works.

“All right, now that we’ve all got partners, it’s time for round one! The first challenge is to pour and drink a round of shots as a team without disconnecting from your partner. You may choose from one of the following liquors on the table,” Johnny instructed over top of a groan from Jimmy.

“How the hell am I supposed to pour a shot when I connected to you short ass?” Jimmy yelled, trying to stay squatted down to Johnny’s level. The rest of us roared with laughter as Jimmy spread his legs wide and bent over, lining his shot glasses on the uneven wood floor. “You fucking ready?” he screamed, picking up a shot.

“Hold your horses will you!” Johnny shot back. “I cant get the damn top off this and will you stop fucking wiggling?!”

“What’s the matter, Christ? You getting a notion for some Jimmy lotion?” And that’s when I lost it, throwing my head back with a loud laugh.

“You’re fucking sick in the head, do you know that, Rev?” Johnny chuckled, looking repulsed. “Just take your damn shots and hold still!”

Rev quickly took his shots and before Johnny could even put his first glass to his lips, Jimmy reached backwards and lifted him sideways off his feet, their butts still touching. “Damn right I’m fucking sick! I’m going to make you upchuck yesterday’s breakfast, Short Shit!” And before he could even protest, Jimmy was spinning around the back room with Johnny wrapped around his waist like and inner tube.

I shook my head and poured my shots with one hand, laughing at Johnny’s protests. “Put me down! No thank you, sir!” he yelled, until Jimmy finally fell to the floor with dizziness. “You fucking ass, now we’ve lost!” Johnny whined, lying on the floor underneath Jimmy as the rest of us laughed, trying hard to stay connected.

“Oh my fucking god! That was the best thing I’ve seen in a long ass time,” Zack laughed. He and Dan were doubled over in laughter with their hands on their knees, their faces bright red. Neither of them realized they had let go of their pinkies. “Did you see Short Shit’s face! Bahaha!”

“And it looks like you lost too, Baker!” Johnny pointed across the room, laughing at them in return. “Looks like the Rev and I wont be the only one’s drinking.”

“And you said we get to mix, right?” Jason said with an evil smirk. Oh, I liked the way his evil mind word.

Johnny cursed and reluctantly nodded his head, obviously not thinking the repercussions of the game through. “And if you’re out…you have to drink each time someone loses…” he grumbled.

“Oh, I’ve got this!” Gates said, pulling Jess toward our makeshift bar in the backroom. When they returned, they were balancing four classes of a really gross looking brown liquid between them. “Drink up, buttercup,” he laughed, pressing the glass into Zacky’s chest.

“How could you do this to me, My Queen? Gatesy-poo?” Jimmy yelled on his knees, looking up at Gates and Jess. “I’m sorry babe but it’s the game. Now drink up!”

“Yeah, stop your bitching, Jimbo, you’d drink toilet water and vodka if we gave it to you,” I laughed and he looked offended for a moment before deciding that I was actually right.

“On the count of three,” Maya cheered, her eyes dancing as she watched the scene in front of her. Damn she looked so beautiful like that and I was still having a hard time looking at anything but her. I mean, how could I not? She held my heart and not to mention was sexy as fuck. “One….two….three….bottom’s up boys!”

The four of them choked back their drinks in disgusts while Jimmy licked his lips with a thoughtful look on his face. “That actually wasn’t half bad! Bring on the next one!” He yelled, receiving an elbow from Johnny.

“Two down, three to go,” DJ whispered in my ear. “Oh, we so got this!” She raised our hands up in the air in a victorious fist pump, receiving a narrowed eyes glare from Maya. I just shrugged and gave her a small smile but she flipped her hair over her shoulder and looked away. Oh, she better not be giving me the cold shoulder…I’ll show her.

“All right,” Johnny winced, trying to get the awful taste out of his mouth. “Round two. This round you and your partner have to pour another round of shots and feed them to each other,” he said with a mischievous grin. Oh, DJ and I so had this one in the bag! “Oh, but you only have a three minutes to do it in and your time starts….NOW!”

DJ and I quickly scrambled for our shot glass, each of us picking them up and placing them back in row one-handed. We each struggled to open a bottle of liquor and pour the row of shots, not caring what exactly we grabbed. The alcohol was starting to kick in, so we wouldn’t be able to taste it too much anyway. “Okay, shot number one, ready?” she said, and I opened my mouth and she quickly dumped it in. It burned all the way down and I recognized the dark liquid as Jack Daniels.

As we finished our shots, I looked around the room to see Maya and Matt struggling to give each other shots over their backs. Surprisingly they finished only a few seconds after we did, leaving Gates and Jess and Jason and Avery to finish. Little Gnome and JB were very intimately giving each other shots in their close proximity, which Gates was not liking at all. He was just glaring at JB instead of taking his shots, causing Jess to say his name over an over again.

I watched with amusement as Jason fed Ave her last shot, whispering something to make her laugh when they finished. It looked innocent to me but I guess Gates thought otherwise.

“Dude I said fucking hands off!” Gates growled, dropping Jess’s arm and grabbing Avery away from Jason in one swift motion.

“What the hell, dude? We were just playing the stupid game,” Jason said incredulously. “Which you just lost us, asshat!”

“Bullshit, go ogle and flirt with some other girl, Ave’s taken,” and with that he dragged her over toward Jimmy, wrapping his arms around her, staking his claim.

“But Bri we really were just taking the shots,” Ave said with a small pout. “Really Jason and I are just friends, remember? Now we’re both out….” She frowned. Bad news for them but good news for us. I smirked down at DJ and wiggled my eyebrows at her as we made our way over to the table to mix the next round of drinks.

“Hope you guys are ready to get knocked on your ass,” DJ laughed as she poured one of the most disgusting cocktails I had ever seen. Did she just mix Bailey’s with grapefruit juice? Damn, I’m glade I didn’t have to drink that shit.

After two more rounds, it was still DJ and I against MB and Maya and neither of us were getting anywhere except drunk off our ass. Which was saying a lot, considering the team losers was having a hard time standing right now. I swear Ave looked like she would fall over if Gates didn’t have his arm securely around her waist. Though he didn’t look too good either, hell none of them did. We were all fucking wasted.

“So…what’s the game plan, Shads?” DJ asked, leaning in to whisper in my ear. Her glazed over eyes were locked on Matt and Maya and I could tell she was trying to size them up. It was only a matter of time before one of us cracked, and I was surprised they hadn’t yet. Staying connect to someone’s back wasn’t exactly easy. I was impressed.

Not only was I impressed that Maya and Matt were still connect, I was also enjoying the view of her dress riding up in the back. Damn she was driving me crazy…All I could think about in my intoxicated state was ripping that dress off and fucking her brains out…

“Shads did you hear a word I just said?” DJ’s voice pulled me from my thoughts and I looked down to see her face inches from me. “Come on we need to come up with a plan! We’ve got to win this thing!” she said, her blue eyes holding my gaze.

Suddenly I felt someone grab my arm and spin me around, their lips pressing firmly to mine. I stood in shock for a minute until I recognized the familiar mop of dark brown hair and opened up. My tongue danced with Maya’s as she moaned lightly against my lips, causing me to lean her backwards a little bit. Shit Maya tasted good, like a mix of patron and something fruity. I let my hands sink down to her waist and pulled her closer, finally getting to kiss her like I’d been longing to all night.

After a few moments of intense kissing, Maya pulled away her eyes fixed on DJ. Whoa, did she just stake her claim on me? That was the fucking hottest thing that I had ever seen in my life. Maybe I needed to make her jealous more often because I was about ready to take her right here in front of all our friends. Come on, Sanders, keep that self-control!

“Problem?” Maya practically snapped at the gapping DJ standing in front of us as our friends made catcalls. She just shook her head and quickly turned away, leaving me to wrap my arms around Maya’s waist.

“Well fuck…I guess it’s a tie between both of your teams,” Johnny sighed, sitting at the table behind us with his head in his hands. He looked worse for wear but then again, so did everyone else.

“A round of shots for everyone!” MB yelled as he moved to pour them. Only I took the time to pull Maya into my arms, gently kissing her next. I was still more than turned on from her little scene with DJ.

“Was someone a bit jealous?” I breathed in Maya’s ear with a small chuckle. I wasn’t going to lie that I really enjoyed seeing that side of her.

“N-No…” Maya lied, rubbing her ass into the hard mass in my pants. “I just couldn’t stand the thought of you holding onto her for another minute.”

“M…” I sighed, slowly spinning her around, my eyes momentarily dipping to her cleavage. “You know that you are the only girl for me. I love you and only you. DJ is nothing more than a co-worker to me. I promise. You have this,” I told her, putting her hand on my heart. “It’s yours.”

I leaned in and pulled her into a kiss but it quickly got out of control. Maya’s hands moved up to play with my hair as our tongues danced, slowly driving me insane. But it wasn’t until she ran her hand over my shirt and then underneath it, meeting my warm flesh, that I felt like every never ending exploded inside of me. My heart pounded and my self-control just snapped. With a feral grunt, I kissed her hard and then almost yanked her toward the door. I fixed my smoldering gaze on her. “You’ve fucking teased me long enough,” I said as I quickly led her outside.

Maya actually yelped with surprise as I pushed her into the back seat of my car. “What are you doing! Oh, my god, Matt! There are people around! We can’t do it here! What if someone sees us or get’s pictures?”

“No one’s going to see us. It’s dark and no one is gonna care anyway. Besides, you’ve been making me crazy all night and I’m not waiting until we get home!” I growled, kissing her neck in feverish manner. I couldn’t get enough of her.

“Oh god, Matt,” Maya moaned, arching her back into me. “We have to hurry before they realize we’re gone…we cant—oh god yes—cant bail yet….” If that wasn’t the sexiest sound I’d ever heard, I didn’t know was.

I let out a bestial growl as I closed the door and slid up over her. Maya accepted my hot kiss without complaint. We fumbled hurriedly with our clothes until my pants were at my knees and her dress was bunched up at her waist. When I brought my throbbing erection up to her soaking pussy, Maya’s eyes grew wide and her breathing became ragged, and then she took my cock and guided it into her.

“Oh, fuck yes, Matt…” she cried as I threw my head back in ecstasy. This was what I had been waiting for all goddamned day and nothing was going to come in between us now.

Feeling her wetness, I thrust hard, sinking my cock deep into her. Maya clamped her eyes shut and whimpered and surrender as I began fucking her on the back seat. Her hands gripped my shoulders tightly as we found our rhythm and soon we were kissing deeply as we fucked.

I’d already been on the edge of coming and it only took a few short minutes before I felt the heat of orgasm build in my belly. Maya held me close and hooked her legs behind mine as I plunged hard into her.

“Come on, Big Guy. Fuck me, fuck me hard, baby. I want to feel you come!”
Moments later, my body became as hard as steel and I drove my cock deep as I exploded into her, her insides clamping down on mine. We came together and lay panting in back seat.

“Damn babe…” I rasped, running my fingers through her hair. That was really something.

“That’s a good start,” Maya said and that proved to me that we were meant to be together.

“That’s right, there is more where that came from,” I assured her, kissing her lips hard. My member was already springing back to life inside of her. I was ready to go again.

Maya smirked and pecked my temple. “You’re a hard man to please, aren’t you, Big Guy?” Maya smirked as I kissed her neck.

“Mmm…I can’t help it. It’s his normal state,” I chuckled, moving to look into her eyes.

Maya threw her head back with a laugh. “You cant be serious. You cant have a boner all the time, Matt,” she giggled and I shrugged my shoulders.

“With you, babe?” I laughed. “There is no other way.”

Avery’s POV

“Brian, will you set the table?” I called from the kitchen, carefully moving around and stirring each pot. The delicious smell of dinner filled the kitchen making my stomach growl. I guess after working all day with a hangover my body was finally ready to ingest some food.

After our long night out, Maya and I stupidly decided that it would be a good day to start working on our business preparations. We spent the entire morning looking at rental spaces with sunglasses and cups of coffee in our hand. It really wasn’t our best idea but at least we found a few places that we liked. We even scheduled to look at them again with Zack in a few days, since he said he would help us. Now all that we were missing was our sketchpads to start making the clothes to put in the store.

Over the course of the afternoon, Maya and I also discussed going back to the UK to get our belongings. Thanks to the guys, our apartment was already packed up and being shipped back to us, but there was still the issue of getting our important belongings from both Ben and James. That would prove to be the most difficult part, and I was still terrified, considering I had barely been returning his calls or messages. I just didn’t know what to say after Brian bluntly told him the truth. I know I owed him an explanation, but I was chicken shit and was afraid to face him. James had always been a great friend to me and I wanted to maintain that friendship, though I didn’t know how he would feel about it. Somehow I thought telling him the truth would ruin whatever friendship we had left.

“It smells delicious in here,” Brian said, walking in taking in a deep breath with his eyes closed. “What are you making, my little chief?” His arms sneaked around my waist as he placed a kiss on my cheek.

“It’s a surprise so you better go set the table and get our few bottles of wine,” I giggled, his hair ticking my bare shoulders. I was wearing a strapless blue sundress underneath my apron and I could feel Brian’s calloused fingers moving up my thighs. “No…we don’t have time for that now.” I took a step away from him only to receive a small pout.

“You’re telling me no?” Brian said in mock offense, taking a step towards me. Within seconds, his fingers were at my sides mercilessly tickling me.

“No!” I laughed loudly, my voice echoing through the tall ceilinged kitchen. “I-I’m sorry…No! Please!” I gasped for air, trying to get out of his strong arms but it was no use. “Please…Wild boy…stop!”

“What did you just call me?” Brian froze, his eyes looking down into mine with his mouth agape.

I smirked and took the opportunity to pull away from him. “You heard me,” I teased, sticking my tongue out at him and moving over to check the oven. “Now go set the table before Maya and Matt get here.”

“No, no way,” Brian said taking another step toward me. “You’re not getting away with that that easily, Miss Jacobson,” he said pulling me into his arms.

“Why is that Wild Boy?” I said giving him my own cocky smirk. To say he was rubbing off on me was an understatement.

“I’ll give you wild boy,” Brian said, his lips moving to kiss all over my face as I threw my head back with a laugh. Finally after a few moments, he silenced my laughter with his lips. Only the bliss of that kiss was short lived because the doorbell rang.

“Now you’ve done it,” I teased pulling away and playfully narrowing my eyes and point a finger at him. “You better go set the table now, I’ll get the door,” I chuckled, pulling away.

“Yeah, yeah…but we’re not done,” he said, pecking my lips one more time before moving to get the silverware that I already rolled.

A half an hour later, the four of us sat around the dinning room table laughing and drinking wine. I was always surprised how many stories these guys had together, but then again, they had known each other since they were kids. Just like Maya and Me.

“And then Ave decided that it would be a good idea to go to the dance as identical twins,” Maya laughed and I hid my head with a blush. “She thought that if we looked the same that the guys she liked would finally talk to her. She freaking went up to him and pretended she was me,” Maya laughed. “Until Bobby Barker called her out for being too short!”

“Haha very funny,” I said, shaking my head as everyone else laughed. “Let’s make fun of the short one. I’m used to.”

“Hey, Johnny’s not here so we have to pick on someone,” Matt laughed, shooting me a wink. “Oh and like you don’t have any embarrassing stories,” I shot back at Matt and that’s when Brian started laughing.

“You have no idea,” he chuckled receiving a punch in the arm just as the doorbell rang.

“Oh, please tell, Wild boy,” Maya said and we all burst out laughing, well except for Brian.

“You told her that story?” Brian gapped in mock offense, looking at me as I headed toward the door as the bell rang again. Jeeze, I’m coming! What was this Jimmy at the door? Did Maya let it slip that we were having a date night?

“I didn’t tell her the story,” I laughed, reaching for the door after taking a sip of my wine. Maya’s mouth dropped as she looked over at me. “You knew that amazing story and you didn’t tell me?!” Maya gasped and I just laughed pulling the door open.

“Matt must have told her because—“ My wine glass dropped to the floor at the sight in front of me, splattering all over the floor.

“Ave are you okay? Who is it?” Brian said, standing up from the table but I was too busy gapping at the people in front of me.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!”

Notes

So Miss Maya was a little jealous and showed DJ just who Mr. Sanders belonged to, eh? About time right? Who is at Ave and Brian's front door?

Comments please, lovely readers! We love hearing from you! :)
