Notes: Written for my Maria/Jeff claim at wrestlefic_100 at LJ. Most of these will be unrelated one-shots but that could change further down the line.

Jeff Hardy had sworn off chocolate syrup since a couple of weeks ago after losing a round of his brother's made up drinking game, 'Win the shot, call the spot' and being forced to drink a whole bottle in about a minute flat. They'd done the same sort of thing the first time they had played, only Jeff had forced Matt to drink mustard and Matt in return, had forced Jeff to drink a bottle of ketchup. He'd been fine with the ketchup but the chocolate syrup had been another matter. No, no, that amount of chocolate syrup and alcohol did not mix well at all. Jeff had been doubled up in agony for hours before he'd thrown up twice.

Jeff had also made the mistake of sharing that information with Randy Orton. Randy had been highly amused by the whole situation and in true Orton fashion he'd just used it to his advantage as Jeff and some of his co-workers were playing a game of truth or dare. Randy had just double dared him to do something knowing there was no way the Smackdown superstar would back down. The third generation superstar had dared him to lick chocolate syrup off Maria Kanellis' stomach.

If Jeff had been expecting for Maria to protest at the bet, he would have been let down for the red haired beauty hadn't even batted an eyelid. A shy smile was the only response she gave.

"We don't have any chocolate syrup," Melina announced as she returned from the kitchen area empty handed.

Jeff smirked, "Now that's a shame."

"Don't worry I have some in my bag," Randy replied; getting up from his position on the sofa. He disappeared into the hallway.

The multi-colored haired superstar shook his head, son of a bitch must have planned this all along, "I bet you do," he muttered.

Maria shot him an apologetic look, "You really don't have to do this, you know?"

"I can't back out from an Orton dare; I'll never hear the end of it."

Chris Jericho nodded in agreement, "It's just not the done thing."

The only other member of the Smackdown Roster just shrugged, "I guess I should lie down or something then. Just try not to get any of the syrup on my shirt; it's one of my favorites."

The blond man wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, "You could always take the shirt off."

"Not a chance."

"You're such a pervert, Chris," Mickie piped up from her position on the opposite side of the room.

Chris looked disappointed and he wasn't the only one because although he'd never admitted it, even to himself, Jeff Hardy had feelings deeper than friendship for the pretty red head.

Moments later, Randy returned, a large bottle of chocolate syrup in his hand, "Here we go. Are you ready, Maria?"

"Just give me a second …" Maria lay down on the floor and lifted her shirt to expose her toned stomach. "Okay, I'm ready."

Randy smirked as he knelt down on the floor next to her and carefully poured an ample amount of syrup onto her skin. "Looks like you're up, Champ. You got the balls to do this or do you want to back out?"

"No way, I'm backing out, man. Let's do this thing …" Jeff moved next to Maria and leaned down to her stomach. He licked his dry lips just before they came into contact with Maria's skin. She tasted like strawberries as his tongue darted out of his mouth to carefully remove the syrup.

Maria giggled slightly, "That tickles."

"Sorry," Jeff mumbled his apology as he continued his task. He didn't speak again until his task was complete; he was enjoying himself too much.

The others for their part remained silent, even Randy had nothing to say. That had to be a first.

There was a smirk on Jeff's face when he sat up once he'd finished, "Looks like I win."

"Yeah … Looks like," Randy replied, clearly unhappy that the youngest Hardy brother had completed his dare all too easily.
