Chapter 1: The Challenge
The basement of Jake’s house pulsed with the kind of reckless energy only a Friday night with too much cheap vodka could muster. Lottie, barely eighteen and sharper than the edge of a switchblade, lounged on a ratty couch, her leather jacket slung over the armrest, her crop top riding just high enough to show a sliver of taut stomach. Her dark eyes scanned the circle of friends, a smirk playing on her lips as the empty bottle in the center spun, deciding fates.
‘Truth or dare, Lottie,’ Jake drawled, his voice thick with mischief and a little too much booze. He leaned forward, elbows on knees, his grin daring her to flinch. ‘Don’t pussy out now.’
Lottie laughed, a low, throaty sound that cut through the haze of cigarette smoke. ‘Jake, sweetheart, I’ve got more balls than you on your best day. Dare. Hit me.’
The room erupted in hoots and hollers, the tension crackling like static before a storm. Jake’s eyes gleamed as he leaned back, crossing his arms. ‘Alright, badass. I dare you to give me a lap dance. Right here, right now. And don’t half-ass it.’
Lottie didn’t blink. She stood, all five-foot-seven of her radiating a confidence that could’ve melted steel. ‘Oh, honey, I don’t do anything halfway. Pick a song, and try not to embarrass yourself by popping too soon.’
The group lost it, catcalls bouncing off the walls as someone queued up a sultry bass-heavy track on their phone. Lottie sauntered over to Jake, her hips swaying with a predator’s grace. She leaned down, her breath hot against his ear as she whispered, ‘You sure you can handle me, big boy? I play rough.’
Jake’s smirk faltered for a split second, but he recovered, spreading his legs wider in the chair. ‘Bring it, princess. Let’s see if you’re all talk.’
Lottie straightened, her gaze locking with his as the music pulsed. She started slow, her body rolling in time with the beat, her hands trailing over her own curves before she straddled his lap. Her thighs, strong and unyielding, pinned him in place as she ground against him, her movements deliberate, teasing. She could feel him getting hard beneath her, and she smirked, leaning in close. ‘Already losing it, Jake? I haven’t even started.’
His hands twitched at his sides, but he kept them down, his jaw tight. ‘Keep going, Lottie. I’m just getting warmed up.’
Her laugh was wicked as she arched back, her chest brushing against his, her fingers threading through his hair to tug just hard enough. ‘Oh, I’ll warm you up, alright. But let’s raise the stakes. How about a little bonus dare?’
Jake’s eyes darkened, his voice a low growl. ‘Name it.’
Lottie’s lips curled into a dangerous smile as she slid off his lap, dropping to her knees in one fluid motion. The room went dead silent, the air thick with anticipation. She looked up at him through her lashes, her voice dripping with challenge. ‘I dare myself to make you beg. Right here. Right now.’
His breath hitched, and she knew she had him. Her hands moved to his belt, the metal clinking as she undid it with a flick of her wrist. ‘Say the word, Jake. Or are you scared I’ll have you sweating and panting before I even get started?’
Jake’s grin was strained, but his voice held a rough edge of want. ‘Do your worst, Lottie. I don’t beg.’
‘Oh, you will,’ she purred, her fingers teasing the waistband of his jeans, her gaze never leaving his. She could see the heat in his eyes, the way his chest rose and fell faster. She was in control, and she reveled in it, her own pulse racing, her body already feeling the rush of power and desire. Whatever happened next, she was ready to make him lose his damn mind.
