Wicked Scavenger Hunt

Excerpt

“DJ… â€ I said, when he finally released me from his embrace.  Looking up at his brown eyes, I had to smile.

“What, Baby?”

“You know we can’t.”

“We’re both consenting adults with fully functioning bodies and no attachments,” DJ said without taking a breath.  “Not only can we, but I’m sure we can do it well.  You know athletes are the best in bed.”

“We’re on my floor.”

“Your bed’s ridiculous,” he whined. 

I could see the disappointment in his eyes. 

“Don’t you have somewhere to be?”

“Oh shit!” he said, rolling off me and checking the time on his phone.  “What am I supposed to do with this?” 

DJ smiled and pointed to his crotch.

“Sorry, honey, but I told you we can’t.”

“You’re not in a ‘good place’ now,” he whined again, using air quotes.  “Whoever he was, I’m gonna to kill him.”

“That’s why you’re my bestie,” I said as I kissed his cheek.  “Does it make you feel better that you have me tuned up like a Fender guitar?”  

It wasn’t true, but it seemed to make him feel better.  I was numb to most touches.  Oh sure, I’d get a slight tingle and in the back of my mind I’d think this was how it was supposed to be, that I should just go for it.  But in reality, we were playing out a bad rom-com with our canned expressions and perceived responses. 

“No,” DJ snipped. 

I guess lying about being turned on was enough to satisfy him.   He stood up and I was beginning to regret my no.   DJ’s skin-tight workout shirt was defining him in a way that made me wish I needed his dictionary.  His biceps flexed as he moved reminding me of what it had been like to have strong arms hold me down but submission took too long to satisfy me.  Taking control wasn’t any better.  Either way, DJ’s shirt had to stay on.

“Will you at least think of me with fondness?”  DJ asked, bringing me out of my own head.

“Dude, you’ve been the only one in my spank bank since we met,” I assured him as I pulled my legs up to my chest and curled into a ball.

At least that earned me a smile. 

“How does a sweet face like that harbor a mouth like yours?”

But when your body is frozen in time can your heart still beat?
