One of the quirks of the house was that the shower was placed in the kitchen, in a tiled alcove next to the refrigerator. This had led to interesting breakfasts, dinners, and introductions to guests-- furthermore, because the only spot to keep a towel was a hook on the kitchen wall, the roommates were prone to snatching those towels as they passed, leaving the unfortunate shower-er to run back to their bedroom stark naked.
When Quinn had first moved in, the guys been careful and polite with her, but in the last few weeks, they'd started to tease her. She hadn't had to make the naked run through the living room and down the unending hallway. Yet. But now, she'd borrowed Nate's car and returned it with an empty gas tank, and she was in trouble.
"Please give me the towel," Quinn begged, her dripping golden head popping out from behind the navy shower curtain.
Nate was swinging her towel around like a lasso, teasing her. The kitchen was full: all the roommates were there; it was Friday after all, and just after 7PM-- this was when the roommates loosely congregated, snacking and making plans before going about their weekend festivities. Often, they had parties at the house. But not tonight.
Mason, Chase, and Tyler were at the counter eating a cartoonishly large pepperoni pizza, eyebrows raised. Luke and Reid had just returned from the gym, and were dropping their sneakers by the door. And Quinn was in the shower, red-faced, pinned there. It wasn't a bad scene, Nate thought, laughing. And he had no intention of letting it fade out before he could help it.
"I warned you," he singsonged, tossing Quinn's towel to Tyler, who flung it to Reid at the door. Reid almost looked sympathetic, so Nate sidestepped past him and snagged it back. The towel was lavender and patterned with flowers and it smelled enchantingly girly, like cotton candy and summer peaches.
"I'm sorry," Quinn pleaded, half-giggling nervously. "Come on, give it back."
"Down the hall, young lady."
"No way."
"Stay there til someone else has to shower then,"
"Nate, come on,"
"What'll you give me?"
"What do you want?"
Nate grinned. This was going well.
"Hey, hey," Tyler interrupted, gnawing on a pizza crust. "Don't be making any deals. Down the hallway, Quinny."
Quinn shot him a glance of ice-blue poison.
"How about a lapdance."
"No way."
"A thousand dollars."
"You're funny."
"Then off you go."
Quinn stomped her little feet, splashing. "I'm cold!"
Mason was handing out beers. Luke was pouring whiskeys. Music was bubbling up around them, loud and lively and neon. Quinn wasn't sure who'd put the record on. They had Friday nights down to a science: the vibe was effortless now, cozy and rambunctious and fun.
Mason held a beer out in the direction of the shower. "Want a beer, Quinn? Come on out and get it."
Quinn wailed at him. Reid, taking pity on her, snagged a Blue Moon from the fridge and stretched to press it into her waiting hand. She beamed up at him, all sparkling blue eyes and pouting lips. "You're the only one who's sweet to me." Reid grew three inches. "How about... a towel?"
Reid threw up his hands, faux-wounded at her pretense. He patted her cheek. "Not a chance, Q."
Quinn appealed to the whole court. "I have to get dressed. And my hair's going to dry weird."
Nate shook his head. "She left me without gas twice this week, gentleman."
"Down the hall!" the guys shouted, a rowdy chorus. "Down the hall!"
Nate tugged at the shower curtain. "If you don't go on your own," he warned her with a Cheshire grin, "I'm not above forcing your hand."
Quinn's blue eyes went round as saucers and her cheeks flushed pink. Her knuckles, clamped around the beer's neck, were white. "Come on, no," she begged.
Nate just grinned. Then, quick as a flash, Quinn jerked the shower curtain down off its hooks and took off down the hall, wrapping it around her as she ran, her tan legs bare and damp. The roommates hollered their dismay, but Nate chased after her, making her squeal as she tried to shut her bedroom door on him. He was too quick, too strong-- he brushed her aside and shut the door behind him.
Quinn's room was tiny-- baby blue sheets with a pile of lacy laundry spilling onto the floor, scattered pink and black shoes, a teddy bear on the bed. Quinn looked tiny and shy in it, shrinking away from him, wrapped in her shower curtain cape.
"You think you're going to get away with this, little girl?" Nate cocked an eyebrow at her. She shivered helplessly, looking anywhere but at his face. She'd always been a little shy with him. He loved that. It really made his dick hard.
Without considering his next move, Nate sat down on the foot of Quinn's girlish bed, sweeping her over his knees, shower curtain and all. She yelped, catching herself on her elbows and knees, her ass thrown up enticingly close to his face. He settled her over his thighs and jerked the shower curtain up over her ass in one clean slice. It wasn't like he hadn't seen her butt before: she wore thong bikinis sometimes; they'd even skinny dipped at a party once or twice. But he hadn't seen her naked quite like this, damp and flushed and pressed against him. It was a different, warmer thing. But he didn't hesitate. He dropped a quick spank on her left ass cheek, leaving a white handprint that then glowed peach.
Quinn yelped. "Nate! Oh my god, stop." She twisted to look at him, her blush as luridly rosy as the mark of his palm on her ass.
"Steal all my gas, take advantage of my generosity, and then you try to avoid punishment, huh?" Nate was grinning, teasing her, but his brown eyes were steely and his arm across her thighs was like an iron bar. Nate was strong: he played lacrosse, he did crossfit, he took pride in his body, honed and powerful and graceful as it was. He was perfectly confident in his strength, in himself. It radiated.
Quinn, caught in his net, was kicking her pretty legs in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she mumbled, twisting in his grasp, trying to get away. The movement had her squirming against his dick, the plasticky shower curtain shifting so the only things between their bodies were his briefs, his shorts. He could feel the soft flex of her slender muscles, the press of her sharp ribs and hipbones. Her ass was thrust up over his lap, heart-shaped and so smooth he wanted to bite her. The thought made his mouth water. Black bruises on that cute ass. Bite marks on the unbearably tender pale insides of her thighs. His cock hardened under her stomach and she stilled immediately, sucking in a breath.
Nate didn't pause, didn't give her reaction any acknowledgement. Instead, he took advantage of her stillness to spank her-- directly on top of the first slap, counterintuitive to what she'd expect and doubly painful. She shrieked. Nate wondered briefly if their roommates would come running. A moment passed; the music played on. They didn't.
"Hold still," Nate warned. Quinn stilled. He wasn't surprised. They'd never played like this, not really, but he'd teased her a hundred times before and he'd seen how she'd responded. He knew this was how she'd react. What she wanted. What she liked. Which was perfect, because it was what he wanted too. What he craved. And he could feel the pull of her want, the polar opposite of his, the perfect match. He'd felt it for months. Finally tasting it, even this little bit, felt cosmically, symbiotically, diabolically good.
Nate's callused fingertips traced hourglasses over the vibrating bruise he'd created. Quinn shivered. "Are you learning your lesson?"
Quinn nodded mutely. The song from the living room shifted, louder and slower, something jazzy and rich.
"Tell me."
"I'm learning my lesson," Quinn mumbled. Her cheeks were wine-red. He wanted to bite those, too.
Nate's softly stroking fingers traced down to her thigh, then jumped to the other side of her ass. The unscathed side. She trembled. "How many times should I spank you?" he wondered out loud. Was he teasing her? Quinn couldn't tell. She buried her face in her hands.
"Let's say three," Nate mused. He spanked her bruised cheek again, a good resounding smack. Quinn squeaked in protest. He laughed, then dropped the two remaining spanks on the untouched side. Quick and tidy. Her cute ass bounced at the touches. He could feel heat radiating from where he'd struck her. He ran his fingertips over the marks lightly, soothing her. He could feel the goosebumps rise on her skin. She turned to look back at him, flushed and adorably embarrassed, her blue eyes shimmering, her cherry lips glossy and pouting.
"There you go," Nate breathed to her. To his coiling, deep-seated pleasure, she sighed at his urging, at his approval for her to release. Testing his hold on her, he continued, nearly purring, "That's right."
