A friend group rents a cabin for the summer, Mia and Travis like each other but don't know it and find it harder and harder to stay away, especially after some teasing and steamy tension.
Mia had always had a thing for Travis, but then again so did most girls. One of her roommates' boyfriend was Travis' friend, so she often found herself at the same functions as him and his friend group. Mia wanted every excuse to be near him, but didn't want to come off as being obviously into him. When her friends suggested a summer trip to a cabin by the lake with Travis and his friends, she couldn't deny she was intrigued.
The first day at the lake house, we drank and jumped in the cool water. I eyed Travis take off his shirt, sticky with sweat, and wished I could bask in his devious smile forever. "Are you coming in?" God I'd do whatever he wanted me to. "Hell yeah, it's way too hot right now". My head spun with a buzz and I knew if I wasn't careful I'd make a fool of myself.
"Look away, you're making me embarrassed" It was the truth, his gaze made my cheeks hot with anticipation.
"Suit yourself, but you can't hide forever" I swatted him with my towel and he grinned again as he made a big show of turning around. Quickly I began to take off my shirt and shorts. When I looked back up he was looking at me again with a dangerous look.
"I'll race you, Mia. Last one in the water takes a shot!" He quickly ran off leaving me on the beach
"No fair, you play dirty!" I cried out and ran after him. I of course lost, but we both took a shot anyways. Once we rejoined our friends in the water, we occasionally snuck glances at each other but I brushed it off as coincidences.
Later that evening after dinner, we sat around the couch and turned on some music. There were 8 of us total, 4 girls and 4 boys. Some of them were couples, sitting together and snuggling with blankets. I anxiously waited to see where Travis would sit, only to be disappointed that he chose to sit on an adjacent couch. Close but not close enough. The girls decided to spark up the sex gossip. My best friend, Clara, wasn't shy and wanted to know everyone's body counts, kinks, and favorite positions. I was no virgin, but I wasn't Clara either. I got by just fine with my toys and imagination. I could tell the guys were intrigued by the conversation and they began telling their own stories. Travis stayed unusually quiet, which I thought was odd for someone who obviously had his pick of girls.
I downed a few more drinks just in time for Clara to throw the spotlight on me. "So Mia, are you finally gonna tell me what you're into? I know your ex wasn't all that great, but you must have something you've been wanting to try!" I laughed and bit my lip as I tried to come up with an answer. "I think I'm down for anything once! I'll know what I like when I see it" I couldn't help but glance over at Travis, and to my surprise he was glaring back at me.
