"I'm having nightmares tonight," Niki declared, wiggling under my arm. "I hate this movie." She suddenly grabbed the remote and flipped the television off.
"Okay, I was watching that." I sighed, glancing at her briefly. "You don't need to be such a baby," I teased.
"Oh, fuck you." She threw a pillow at me.
"Don't mind if I do," I continue to tease, playfully dropping my eyes to her lips for a split second before throwing her a wink. I had been over for almost an hour, and Niki was having a hard time paying attention to the film. I only let her turn it off because I had seen it. And because watching movies was not why I was at Niki's place.
"How was practice?" she asked me, scooting closer to me.
"Hard. My shoulders are killing me. But we get faster every day." I shrug.
"What I don't understand," Niki said, starting to draw out her words, "is how you would rather be in a boat than my bed." Her fingers, previously dancing on my knee, were sliding up my thigh. Her movements were painfully slow.
"Mhmm," I feigned thought. "Maybe it's because I can actually get wet in a boat." I watched Niki's eyebrows raise in amusement before laughing.
"Yeah, but in my bed maybe you could come first for once." She gave me a pointed look.
"Really is a shame, isn't it?" I leaned in to kiss her, but she only pushed me away and sat back, putting distance between us.
"Give me a chance, Alex," she pleaded.
"I don't remember you having a problem with coming first on Tuesday."
I saw that mischievous twinkle in her eyes, and I knew something bad was coming. "I have an idea for tonight," she told me. I opened my mouth but she cut me off, shutting my jaw with the tips of her fingers. I narrowed my eyes at her. "Here's the game. Every time I get you to crack that arrogant top-ass attitude of yours, I get to take off a piece of your clothing."
I thought about it for a minute. I most certainly did not like the idea of being gradually undressed by Niki. But to be fair, it would feel good as hell when she couldn't get a rise out of me. And it would feel even better getting her off before I came.
"Deal, but you only have twenty minutes to try," I said. "And after that, I'm in charge again." I stuck out my hand, and she shook it with a grin before leaning in to whisper something in my ear.
"I am going to make you cum so fucking hard you can't walk straight. And after I do, I'm going to tie you down to my bed and do it all again." Niki then hopped off the couch, into the kitchen, before I could even process what she had said.
Desperately trying not to stammer, I called after her: "Where are you going?" She returned a moment later with a long cloth.
"All the best games start with a blindfold, you know," she said with a grin.
I let her pull me into her bedroom, my heart already beating like a drum. She pushed me backward onto her bed and I instinctively reached out to pull her down with me. She ducked out of my reach and I frowned.
"Oh, that's not how this works, Alex." Her cool knuckles brushed my neck as she moved to sit behind me on the bed. I let out an involuntary shudder. "Strike one," she whispered in my ear, starting to slide off my jacket.
"What? No that wasn't -" Niki cut me off with her jaw-closing trick again.
"Shhh. I'm calling the shots tonight." She continued sliding my jacket off as I rolled my eyes. "Twenty minutes, starting now." I heard the click of a timer.
With my jacket off, Niki pulled the blindfold around my eyes, shrouding me in darkness. Her nimble fingers quickly tied and pulled the knot, and I found my mind drifting at the thought of them.
"Lie down," she told me, and when I failed to do so quickly enough, she pushed my shoulders and I fell backward onto her bed. Niki climbed onto me and I immediately felt all sorts of vulnerable, being under her like that. But all of that faded away when she put her lips on my cheek.
Under my blindfold, I closed my eyes as she took her time working up my jawline. I took the chance to rest my hands on her hips, pulling her into me. Almost instantly, she readjusted to hover higher above me, and pulled my hands away from her. I fought the urge to groan in frustration, not sure if she would steal my shirt for it. Finally, she reached my ear and paused.
"I've always wanted to try this with you," she murmured before her lips started dancing down my neck. Not totally sure what she meant, I let Niki continue running her tongue over my collarbone - something she definitely learned from me. I smiled at the thought.
I suddenly felt the vivid sensation of skin being pulled from my neck, in the area under Niki's mouth. My eyes widened in surprise as I realized she was trying to leave marks, but I let her continue anyway. She eventually pulled away, only to kiss the sore spot on my neck.
Not yet satisfied with her work, Niki took the skin of my neck between her teeth and gently tugged. I lost it a little there and yelped from the feeling.
"That really is unfortunate for you, Alex," she said after pulling her head away from my neck. Her hands found their way under my shirt and she tugged me into a sitting position with the fabric. As she was slipping my cotton shirt up my body, and realized just how much I wanted my blindfold off.
"Niki?" I managed.
"Mhmm, yes?" she responded, beginning to run her hands up my abdomen.
"I want the blindfold off,"
"You've been working out more," she observed, pushing her thumbs into my abs to feel the muscles under my skin. I let my head fall backward in delight - both at her words and her actions - but didn't make a sound. I took a deep breath and tried again.
