Swap (8 page)

When she lost, Mia showed no concern. Once again, it was between Jamie and Aidan. Jamie's jaw was set with determination as she sat perched on the couch. She wanted to win.

Caleb looked over at Aidan. He did a double take and frowned. It might look like he was playing but he wasn't even touching the buttons. What was he doing?

Jamie gave a whoop of joy when she beat Aidan.

“Congratulations,” Aidan said to Jamie. He turned and caught Caleb's attention.

Caleb frowned when he saw Aidan mouth, Don't win.

Don't win? Again? Was he kidding? The guy was getting all the women, and Caleb was sitting with a hard-on watching them. If he lost, then Mia would have to kiss Jamie.

He eyes widened. Ohhh . . . Caleb smiled. He liked the way Aidan thought.

“I'm going to win this time,” Caleb announced, riling Jamie's competitive spirit.

“Don't bet on it,” Jamie said.

Caleb made the fight with Jamie very close and lifted his thumbs off the buttons right at the end.

Jamie was the winner.

Mia was the loser.

Caleb and Aidan exchanged a look. It would be interesting to see how the girls would try to get out of this.

“Okay,” Mia said as she grabbed her beer and took a delicate sip. “Do-over.”

“I don't think so,” Caleb said, tossing the controller onto the floor.

Mia gestured at the score on the screen. “But Jamie won.”

“I can see that,” Caleb replied. “The rule is that the loser gives the winner a kiss.”

Mia's mouth dropped open in surprise. “But—but—”

“There weren't any exceptions to that.” Caleb turned to Aidan. “Were there, Aidan?”

Aidan tilted his head as he tried to recall the agreement. “No, there weren't,” he answered.

“Caleb.” There was a hint of warning in Jamie's voice.

He looked at Jamie, who looked uncertain what to do. That was a surprise to Caleb. Jamie was brazen and assertive. Why was she hanging back?

Was she afraid to have a taste of her secret fantasy, worried that it would not live up to her expectations? Or was she concerned that she might like it too much? He couldn't do anything about that, but he just offered her a fantasy that had no strings attached.

“Go for it, Jamie,” Caleb said.

Jamie looked at him and then at Mia. She tried to show no expression but Caleb saw the excitement flickering in her eyes.

“Fine,” Jamie said breezily. “Mia, lie down on the floor.”

FIXE

“Are you “kidding me?” Mia asked, her heartbeat starting to race. They had to be joking.

Jamie motioned impatiently at the floor. “Lie down.”

Mia looked at the beige carpet and then back up at Jamie. What the hell was going on here? Jamie and she were supposed to swap sex partners, not spit!

Mia glanced at Aidan, hoping to get some guidance. She was surprised by the hot, smoky look in his eyes. She blinked and looked again, but she still saw it.

She couldn't believe it. The idea of watching her kiss Jamie was turning him on. Why? She didn't get it. Sure, it was scandalous and taboo, but she got the feeling this wasn't why he liked the scenario.

She looked at Caleb, noticing the rapid rise and fall of his chest. Oh, God. Him, too. Why did men want to see two women get together? And why her? She had never kissed a woman, had never considered even trying.

“Go for it,” Aidan urged her.

Mia hesitated. The swapping wasn't exactly going as she had planned. There was nothing she could do about it now.

Anyway, the whole point of swapping was to explore her options. Test her sensual boundaries. Of course, she had thought that meant with a man, which just proved how limited her thinking was.

Mia rose from the couch and slowly lay on the floor, her heart jumping in her chest. Why hadn't she considered this exchange might happen? It was because she had been so fixated on having sex with Caleb. This was what she got for trying to trick the guys into swapping.

She stared at the ceiling, holding her arms tight against her sides. It was no big deal, just out of her comfort zone. She wasn't opposed to the idea, but she wasn't prepared for it either.

And if she was going to kiss a girl, Mia would want it to be Jamie. Jamie could make anything a wild ride. And if Mia ever swung that way, she would with Jamie, the sexiest woman she'd ever known, over any hot actress or model.

But that decision didn't stop her from tensing up when Jamie crawled above her. Mia watched her with wide eyes. Why was she hovering above her like a jungle cat ready to pounce? All Jamie had to do was lean over and brush lips with Mia.

Jamie braced her forearms on both sides of Mia's head. Mia stared up her mind whirling chaotically as Jamie rested her pelvis against hers. Mia automatically parted her legs, allowing for Jamie to settle between her thighs.

Oh, why had she done that? A blush sizzled across her skin. The movement was too telling, too inviting. Mia didn't know what she was doing anymore.

She wished she could put her legs together but it was too late. She wasn't going to bend her knees or buck her pelvis against Jamie. But it didn't seem to matter. Her friend leaned down and their breasts pressed against one another.

“Let's give them a show,” Jamie whispered in Mia's ear. Her warm breath tickled Mia's skin.

A show? Mia thought her eyes were going to bug out. She was trying to think of a way to get the kiss done quickly so they could move on to the next game. There was no way she could put on a show when she was frozen to the spot.

Jamie dipped her head and placed a gentle kiss on Mia's lips. Mia's heart stopped. Jamie tasted of beer and lipstick, and her mouth was warm.

Mia tentatively responded to the soft caress. She had never realized how silky Jamie's lips were. Mia slicked the tip of her tongue along Jamie's bottom lip.

Her inquisitive touch jolted through Jamie. She felt the tremor sweeping her friend. Jamie plunged her tongue past Mia's stunned lips. Jamie's aggressive move shifted some dark, unnamed emotion inside Mia.

Mia didn't want to figure out what was going on with her. A part of her wanted to pull back and return to her safe little world. Another part of her knew it was already too late. Did she have the courage to explore?

Jamie's tongue tangled with hers. Mia's nipples puckered, and she felt a twinge in her core. She was embarrassed that her best friend could easily arouse her. Mia inhaled sharply as she felt her pussy swell and Jamie deepened the kiss.

Kissing Jamie wasn't what she expected. Her body tingled, her nipples stung, and her pussy pulsed with urgency. Mia wanted to ride out the sweet ache. She arched her spine, her hard nipples pressing hard against Jamie's large breasts.

She heard Jamie's groan. It vibrated deep inside her. She tilted her hips, and Jamie rocked against her. Jamie placed her hands on either side of Mia's head, her long nails tangling into her blond hair, scraping her scalp.

Jamie lifted her head. She was breathing heavy, her warm breath billowing over Mia's face. “Kiss me harder, Mia.”

Oh. My. God. She knew this was for show, but Jamie's harsh tone pulled deep in her belly. Her friend knew how sexual commands turned her on. She couldn't help it any more than she could help becoming aroused by her best friend!

Mia wiggled her hips and felt the damp heat between Jamie's legs. She stilled under her friend. Jamie was getting turned on as well? Mia couldn't believe she had the power to excite her sexy friend. The sense of power crashed over her like a wave.

Jamie kissed her roughly, their lips grinding as she thrust her tongue into Mia's mouth. Mia liked the pressure. The sting of her mouth added to her pleasure. She immediately dueled her tongue with Jamie's, not caring if she won or lost this battle.

She felt Aidan's eyes on her. Mia kept her eyes shut as a blush bloomed on her skin. She had forgotten that Aidan and Caleb were there watching. What did they think of her now?

Mia captured Jamie's tongue and sucked it ruthlessly into her mouth. The intense pull made her shiver. Mia mewed and tilted her chin up, surrendering to Jamie.

She wrapped her legs around Jamie's bare legs and clung to her friend's back. Mia glided her hands up and down Jamie's back, noticing every flex of muscle and the lack of a bra. She swept her hands up and down Jamie's spine before she reached down and grabbed Jamie's ass with both hands.

Jamie reared back in surprise. Mia licked her swollen lips with the tip of her tongue under Jamie's watchful gaze. Mia smiled. It wasn't often when she could shock her friend.

But the kiss had already gone too far. It was supposed to be for show, and she had managed to forget she had an audience. Mia untangled her legs from her friend's, carefully watching Jamie's expression.

“One more game?” Mia asked as she sat up, surprised by how firm her voice sounded. She busied herself by fixing her hair, barely hearing the others agree. Her heart was pounding in her ears, her body ached for satisfaction, and whoever got her next was going to be lucky, because she was one hard thrust away from a ripping orgasm.

She grabbed the controller and only then noticed her hands shaking badly. “Someone else can go first.”

Aidan took the controller from her hand and played against Caleb. Mia tried to focus on the game, but the colors blurred before her eyes.

Well, Mia thought, she hadn't had sex yet, but she was learning all sorts of things about herself. She hadn't expected to enjoy kissing Jamie, and she certainly didn't think she had the ability to arouse her friend. Mia wasn't sure if she wanted to explore any further and find out more about her sexual allure and power.

“Caleb,” Jamie exclaimed, “you lost again!”

“I don't understand what's going on here,” he complained.

“Give me the controller,” Jamie said, offering no sympathy. “It's my turn against Aidan.”

Mia silently watched the competition between Jamie and Aidan, with the characters on the screen doing superhuman moves. Mia knew she wouldn't be the loser this time—Caleb was—but she probably would lose in the next game if she didn't put a stop to this challenge.

But she didn't want to. Mia was curious who would win her next. She kind of wanted it to be Caleb because she had never had him before. But if she got Aidan, he knew exactly how to touch her so she would go off like a rocket.

“Damn!” Jamie said as she angrily threw down the controller. “Okay, what's going on, Aidan? Have you been practicing secretly?”

“No,” he said with a smile, “but I've never had incentives like these before.”

“It's your turn, Mia,” Caleb said as he handed her the controller.

Mia accepted the controller and began hitting all of the buttons when the game started. She wasn't going to win this game, and her mind was already on the next. She was still hitting the buttons as the scores came up on the screen. Jamie's voice pierced through her fog.

“Mia won?” Jamie said incredulously.

Mia's hands froze on the controller. “Say what?” That couldn't be right. She was randomly hitting buttons without any strategy. Mia squinted at the scoreboard on the screen.

“You won Caleb,” Jamie said.

How could that be? Aidan was better at this game. Both of the men were, which was why she and Jamie had set up the game. The odds of losing to Caleb were in her favor.

But now she had won Caleb? That couldn't be right. She wanted a recount! Mia stared at Aidan and noticed the gleam in his eye.

She realized what had happened. The truth mushroomed inside her until it felt like it was going to burst through her skin. She might not have won him fair and square, but what was she going to do about it now? She would have preferred if Caleb had won her. Mia knew she wasn't ready to give orders in front of an audience. What if Caleb didn't listen, or worse, what if he knew exactly what she wanted?

She should play it safe and ask for a kiss on the lips. Then she'd grab Aidan and take him to bed. He would wrench multiple orgasms from her. Her body clenched with anticipation. Aidan was satisfaction guaranteed.

But she didn't want a guarantee. She needed to know what it was like being with a different man. She had thrown away the chance of getting what was familiar the moment she'd agreed to the swap.

She watched Caleb crawl toward her. “How do you want me to kiss you?” he asked.

Mia nervously licked her lips and tasted Jamie's fruity gloss. It was now or never. She suddenly felt very jittery. She knew it was time to take a risk. Take everything. She might never get another chance.

“Kiss my breasts,” she said quietly. She felt the stunned silence hit her. For some reason, she hadn't expected that kind of reaction. Mia was tempted to take a quick, reassuring look at Aidan.

No, she wasn't going to get directions from him. If she needed guidance, she should do what Jamie would do. Her friend always made the opposite choice, and there were times when Mia was envious of Jamie's devil-may-care attitude.

Mia leaned back on the couch and stretched her arms out as if she was confident that she wouldn't be denied. “I'll let you know when to stop.”

Caleb's eyes gleamed with amusement. Mia blushed and looked away. She wanted him to be aroused and excited. She'd bet Jamie didn't get this type of response from him. Maybe she shouldn't try to be like Jamie and follow her instincts.

Caleb bent his head down and pressed his mouth against her left breast. Her thin tank top was the only thing separating them, but she felt his warm breath and wet tongue.
