Lee grinned. "Won again."
I grit my teeth in anger. What the fuck? This was my game. I'd barely even shown him how to play but somehow he'd gotten the hang of it in a few hours—and now he was beating me? This was such bullshit.
Lee flipped my controller away carelessly and climbed to his feet, stretching with a groan of satisfaction. "I guess all that talk was nothing. You're a bitch after all, man. I'm spanking you at this."
"Oh, shut up," I snapped, unable to hide my annoyance. Sure, I was upset at losing, but he was also stretching uncomfortably close to me. He tugged at his gym shorts to loosen them from bunching up around his crotch and it was impossible not to notice his package as he did so. I thought I even saw the outline of his dick against the fabric before I quickly looked away in disgust. Gross.
Sometimes I wondered, didn't he have any consideration at all? We'd been best friends for a few years now but still there were such things as boundaries. He was two feet from my face and he was tugging at his junk. How could he be so careless with his body? I wouldn't be caught dead touching my dick if he was watching me.
But this kinda stuff was nothing new—Lee knew he was manlier than me and always liked to embarrass me for it. See, he was well-built, tanned brown, and the epitome of confidence while I was slim and pale and, well, on the neurotic side. Sometimes I got no end of teasing. This guy could get on my nerves.
"I'm gonna grab some food. You want some?"
"H-hey, it's my place, asshole!"
"You're not even out of college yet. It's your parents'. And trust me, they won't mind." Lee strode into the kitchen as if he was the one who owned the place and started rooting around in the cupboards for snacks. I followed him inside and took the opportunity to grab a gatorade from the fridge, but this immediately attracted his interest. "Hey, you have gatorade? Nice. That shit's my favorite flavor, too."
I smirked. "It's the last one." I put the opened bottle to my lips exaggeratedly and took a swig. "Mmm."
"Mine now, buddy!" And before I knew it was struggling to keep it from wresting it from my grasp.
"H-hey, what the fuck are you—"
Lee wrenched the bottle free and danced away, holding out his hand to forestall an advance. His dark eyes were full of triumph. "Hold on now, let me see if it's as good as I remember." And he took a long gulp. "Ahhh," he exclaimed, and I yelled,
"That's gross, dude! Seriously, I just put my mouth all over that and you didn't even wipe it off. Like, you just kissed some of my saliva, man, do you realize that?"
Lee laughed. "You're just mad I stole it, bro. What, are you into indirect kissing? That's pretty gay."
"You're the one who did it! Don't try to turn this around on me!" I said shrilly. "Now give me back my fucking gatorade."
His eyes widened joyously. "What, now you want it? You want a kiss, buddy?" He could hardly stop himself from laughing. I'm sure this was a great moment for him, somehow making this about me, but I wasn't so big a bitch I would let him take my shit.
"I'll beat it out of you if I have to."
"Sure, man. But here, before you get it back you might want this." He ran his lips around the bottle's rim and his tongue around the inside, dragging saliva over it.
"That's fucking disgusting, dude."
But I'd just egged him on because he stuck his tongue inside the gatorade and swirled it around. I made a furious grab at the bottle, spilling some on him as I yanked it free. Lee hiccuped with laughter.
"You want it now?"
"You're gross, dude." But I couldn't give it back to him. There was no way I was letting this asshole take my drink. I had to wipe the rim off with exaggerated vigor for his benefit, hoping he would turn away before I had to drink it. He didn't, and I was forced to take a swig in front of him. He was laughing like it was all a joke but I almost imagined that it tasted different... like I was tasting his fucking tongue or some shit. The idea of Lee's wet tongue in my mouth popped into my head and I almost choked. Fucking disgusting. I felt sick.
He was still teasing me about the "indirect kiss" or whatever as he snatched some snacks but I stood by my decision, telling him, "Fuck you, I'm not letting you take my stuff. So what if you put your mouth on it?"
"Bro, let's go again!" He called as he headed back out into the living room, and I scrambled to follow. "I want to spank you again after you said I'd never beat you."
"Bullshit! I haven't been playing for real at all, man, you know that."
"Surrre, you weren't tryharding at all the last game with sweat pouring off you. You're just upset I'm your daddy at your own game."
"Fuck you. I'm your daddy at this game. I could wreck you if I tried."
"So bet on it. Really."
I spread my arms, staring him down. "Name it, dude. This next game I'll beat you."
"Okay, if you lose you have to call me 'daddy' and apologize for all that talk."
I snorted. "Are you serious? 'Daddy?' What the fuck?"
"And you sit on my lap for the next game. How about it now? Still feeling confident?"
My brow immediately creased into a frown. "Your lap? Are fucking gay, dude?"
"That's what I thought. Take back that stuff if you're not going to go through with the bet."
"No! I will win. I'll take that bet, cocksucker, because I'm not even worried. If you lose you owe me a hundred bucks."
Lee grinned. "Fine. Shake on it." I reached out and shook, and of course he tried to crush my hand. I winced as his powerful hand squeezed my slim fingers. Fuck! It had always sucked having such girlish hands in comparison. I yanked my hand free of him but rather than drag things out I grabbed my controller and jumped on the couch. I wanted this bet settled as soon as possible. I mean, his fucked up stakes were just a way to embarrass me since he knew I'd never go for a payoff that weird and gross in return. I wouldn't mind a hundred in cash though.
