Sam used her employee key card to get into the side entrance of the gym, the one closest to the locker rooms. She knew from her polite conversations with the security guard that he would be at his desk reading Business Today and listening to heavy metal through his headphones, which would keep him occupied and distracted enough for the group to quickly sneak into the women's locker room.
The group snuck quickly through the corridor from the entrance past the indoor pool and to the women's locker room entrance. They were unlocked all the time because different athletic teams had different schedules. It was easier to just leave them open than to have the guard lock and unlock them as teams came and went for their workouts. In fact, Brandon and Caleb would have to be back to the campus gym early tomorrow morning for their 6 am workout session.
But for now lifting and swimming were the furthest things from their collective mind. The antics of the mud pit had sent a jolt of sexual energy through everyone. Of course Katelyn being naked under the small towel she had wrapped around her only made things more electric between the group.
Sam was the first to speak when they entered the locker room. "You boys have been daring us all day, it's time you have some of your own medicine."
Brandon almost bellowed with laughter. "Oh yea? What do you have in mind? I'm fearless!"
"You're so cocky Brandon" Katelyn half whispered as she clutched her towel trying to cover up as much of herself as she could.
"Did you just say the word 'cock' Kate? Never in a million years did I think you could utter such vile words" he snickered.
Sam jumped to the defense of her roommate and shouted "Oh shut up Brandon, if you're so confident then why don't you kiss Caleb? He looks lonely over there!"
The room fell silent for a moment at the idea of the two teammates kissing. The only sounds were the air conditioner running and the soft drops of water coming from a leaky faucet in the nearby showers.
Caleb finally cleared his throat. "Do I get a say on all this?" he asked.
"No way!" Katelyn quickly responded. "Sam didn't give me a choice back at the house and now I'm naked except for all of this mud and gross towel you managed to scrounge up. Sam dared Brandon to kiss you and it's up to him to decide."
Wanting to maintain his self-given reputation as fearless, Brandon gave him a quick peck on the lips, catching Caleb off guard.
"Dude, what the hell?" Caleb muttered. "That wasn't even a kiss. My aunt Marigold kisses me more than that at Thanksgiving."
The girls giggled and Brandon flushed with embarrassment and his younger teammates wittiness. Wanting to stop the laughter he said "Fine, you want a kiss? Here's a kiss!" And with that he grabbed Caleb's head and planted a sloppy wet kiss on his lips, leaving a little saliva dripping off both their mouths.
Everyone, including Brandon, stood there in a stunned silence. "Did that really happen?" Kate wondered aloud.
Even more than that, she silently wondered why it turned her on. Was there some inner part of her that wanted to see more of them? She felt a warmth in her stomach and a rush of chills went down her spine. Where was this all coming from? What was happening? Just earlier today she was dreading going to this stupid party and here she was practically naked in front of her roommate and best friend and two guys who had just kissed, and all she can think about is how hot it was.
"Daaaaaaaaaamn Brandon!" Sam broke the silence. "You've never kissed me like that. What do I have to do to be so lucky?"
Brandon was quick on his feet and responded "Easy, just kiss Kate the same way!"
Kate felt her cheeks flush bright red with embarrassment. She couldn't deny that when Sam spanked her in the mud pit earlier she felt more way more pleasure than pain. At the time she thought maybe it was just the adrenaline, but now that Sam might possibly kiss her she was starting to think she was legitimately aroused. "Shit" her internal dialogue was back. "Could I really be turned on thinking about kissing another woman? We've seen each other naked dozens of times and up until today I thought nothing of it" she mused.
Sam could sense her roommate having a bit of an internal crisis and instead of kissing her right away, she gave the boys a bemusing look and said "Oh you would like that wouldn't you? Every guy's dream. Two roommates making out in front of them. How original!"
"Kiss her Sam," Brandon said. "That's the game. You dared me to kiss Caleb and I did. I dared you to kiss Kate. Unless, you are too chicken." And with that he started parading around the rest of the group pecking his head out and doing an awful version of the chicken dance.
Kate was still flushed red and was fighting back some nervous laughter, partially at Brandon's stupid dance, and partially at how the thought of Sam kissing her made her feel. She was thankful for her roommate and her attempt to diffuse the situation, but she recognized a lost cause when she saw one. There was zero chance that Brandon would stop dancing around them like an idiot until the two roommates kissed.
"Do it." The words surprised Kate as they came out of her mouth. "Just kiss me so that Brandon stops doing that ridiculous chicken dance."
Sam pulled her roommate in close to have as private a conversation as the circumstances would allow. "Kate we don't have to, its just a stupid dare" Sam said. "I'm sorry I made you feel like you couldn't say no earlier. But this is different. I'm not going to kiss you just because some stupid boy dared me too." She was still trying to protect Kate and her relative sexual insecurity, not knowing what was going on inside Kate's head at the moment.
"You heard the lady Sam, she wants you to kiss her!" Brandon interrupted. "I caved to my dare, how is this any different?" he asked.
The question lingered in the air. Kate stood there in her towel, wanting more and more to feel Sam's lips on hers but not wanting to show just how badly. These feelings were so new to her and she didn't know how to comprehend them. Before she could complete another thought, Sam's voice interrupted her.
