A/N:
I apologize for taking so long to update this. I've been swamped with college apps, and school in general, and I finally got some time to sit down and pound this out. Of course, I should have been writing my essays, but fuck that.
I hope you all enjoy. It's basically fluff, but I didn't have time to come up with anything thought-provoking, and I felt bad for not updating for months.
So, enjoy. And to any reader that is about to be, or already has been, affected by Hurricane Sandy, my prayers are with you. I'm hoping that I don't get hit too hard, but...well, good luck everyone.
Read, Review, Enjoy.

A tree.
I was staring at a tree.
Why the fuck was I staring at a tree?
I sat down to ponder this. A tree. A weeping willow, to be specific. Maybe the tree was a metaphor, or something. Maybe it wasn't really there? Maybe...
No, no. No more psychological bullshit. Let's just go back to staring at the tree.
I must say, the tree was rather pretty. I like weeping willows. They...I don't know. Seem so mysterious or something.
"Why are you staring at a tree?"
I looked up to see Tori sit next to me. "Because...it's pretty?"
I felt her hand clasp around mine, and the warmth, however corny, made me smile. "Jade, I get that it's pretty, but...it's a tree."
"Nothing is ever just something, you know. Sure, it's a tree, but you know what? Maybe that tree has a life. A family. A thought. Ever think about that?"
"No, I haven't. No reason to." Tori laid her head on my shoulder, a soft sigh escaping her lips. "It is pretty though."
"I know."
She nuzzled my neck, her body pressed against mine. "You should have sung to me, you know."
I sighed. "Yeah, yeah."
"Wake up and do that." She looked up at me, pouting. "Please?"
"Please?"
I opened my eyes to see Tori lying next to me, propped up on one elbow, eyes wide open.
I stared at her, confused. "What?" The dream came back to me, and I blinked a few times. "Wait, were you whispering things into my ear while I slept?"
"Maaaaaybe..." Tori grinned. "Did it work?"
"It made me irritated. Was that your intent?"
"No..." She closed her eyes, rolling over onto her stomach. "Forget about it then. I failed."
"Yeah. You did." I sat up, rubbing my eyes. "Fuck, I'm tired."
"Me too."
I looked down at her. "You know, there's no practice today. That means we don't have to go anywhere...we could just stay here...in bed..." I felt my face start to go red, and cursed myself mentally. "If you want to, I mean."
She smiled, and nodded. "Yeah. That would be great."
"Okay." I settled back underneath the covers, and looked at her. "So..."
"Lets play Truth or Dare!"
I rolled my eyes, but decided to agree. "Okay, fine."
"You go first! Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
Tori pondered for a few moments. "Okay...oh! Okay." She grinned, rolling on her side. "What's your most secret sexual kink?"
"Are you kidding me?" I watched as she shook her head, that mischievous smile growing. I sighed heavily, grimacing.
"Biting." I looked at her, shifting uncomfortably. Her eyes seemed to be shining with mischief.
"Really?..." her voice trailed off, her smile growing wider.
I slapped her on the arm lightly, rolling my eyes. "Shut up. Your turn. Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
I smirked. "I dare you to kiss me."
She rolled her eyes. "Seriously?"
I nodded, putting on a frowning face. "I mean...unless you're too chicken to kiss little old me..."
"Fine...I just thought that mean old Jade would come up with a better dare." She leaned over, pecking me on the lips. "There. Your turn again."
"I really don't think that that really counted..." I muttered, shaking my head. Tori just grinned, beckoning me to continue.
"Fine. Truth."
She pouted, lower lip jutting out in a pathetic display of innocence. "You're no fun."
"Don't care. Ask the damn question, Vega."
"Okay, okay. What's a secret sexual fantasy of yours?"
"I'm not answering that."
"Yes you are, or else."
I raised an eyebrow. "Or else what?"
"Or else you'll never have sex again."
"I'm fairly certain that that is an empty threat."
She grinned, cocking an eyebrow. "Sure about that?"
I bit my lip, unsure of the look in her eyes. "Ye...no..."
"Good. Answer the question."
"I don't have one." I turned away from her, sighing.
"You're full of shit."
"Basically."
I felt Tori's hand on my back, and I shuddered as her cold fingers rubbed against my skin. "I'll ask a different question since it bothers you that much..."
"Thank you."
"So...what's up between you and Cat?"
I froze, my body tensing up. "What do you mean?"
"Well...you never seem to get along very well at rehearsals...and she's always muttering things about you...I was just wondering what was going on."
I clenched my fingers into a fist, and swore. "We just don't get along very well anymore."
"May I ask...why?" Her hand gently rubbed my shoulder, and I bit my lip as her touch sent shivers through my body.
"I'd...rather you didn't...but, I didn't answer the last question, so I guess...fine." I turned so I was facing her. "We used to date. She cheated on me. We broke up. End of story."
"Doesn't really seem like it's the end of the story..."
I looked at her, hating the look of concern on her face. "It is. Please, can we move on now?"
She nodded, still looking concerned. "I...guess it's my turn...so, I choose dare."
"I dare you to..." I hesitated. "Kiss me again. But...actually kiss me. With meaning."
She didn't bother to make small talk this time, instead just leaning forward, her lips meeting mine. She was different this time, something that I was thankful for.
Soft lips, gentle touches. Fingers trailing down my side, my body pressed against hers as she climbed on top of me.
I moaned softly as her lips left mine, starting to make their way to my neck. I felt her nibble gently at the skin underneath my jaw, and shudder went through me.
"God..." I breathed, trying to calm my racing heart. "That's...one hell of a kiss..."
"Shut up." I heard her whisper. Now, as someone who hates being told what to do, my natural instinct was to make a smart-ass retort. Any thought of doing that disappeared, though, as soon as I felt her lips leave my neck and connect with my collarbone.
I felt her teeth graze my skin, and then groaned as she bit down lightly. "Fuck..." I moaned, feeling the heat between my legs surge.
"Guess you do like that, huh?" Tori laughed quietly, glancing up at me.
"Shut...up..." I muttered, trying to ignore the rising arousal that I was feeling.
"Nah..." she replied, her lips moving farther south, peppering a path down my abdomen. Her hands moved down to my thighs, slowly massaging the skin. My muscles began twitching, responding to her touch.
Her lips were almost all the way down when she suddenly stopped. "Jade?"
I looked at her, panting, far too aroused to be thinking straight. "Wh...what?"
"Truth or dare?"
I blinked, stunned. "Are..."
"Truth or dare?"
"You...bitch..." I groaned as she bit down lightly on my skin, my hands grasping at the sheets.
"Answer the question."
Now, as I'm sure you all understand, I am not someone that takes shit like that lightly. At least, I don't when I'm functioning normally. But, I gotta tell you, all I cared about right then was getting fucked, and fucked good. Now, if that was only going to happen if I answered that question, then I obviously...
"Dare."
I watched Tori's eyes shine with mischief. "I dare you to keep quiet the entire time I'm making love to you."
I nodded quickly, wanting her to get on with it. She grinned, her tongue darting out, wetting her lips.
"If I hear anything...I'm going to stop."
I nodded again, trying to get her to hurry along. She laughed softly, then leaned her head back down, gently kissing the inside of my thigh.
"Remember, not one sound, Jade."
A large part of me wanted to make a sharp retort, but all thought of doing so was erased the second I felt her push my legs apart, her tongue flicking out onto my clit.
I grasped the sheets, biting my lip hard. It took all my effort not to moan, but somehow, I managed.
I felt her hand move its way up my leg, and suddenly, she was inside me. One...no, two fingers, slowly at first, pace quickening, lips and tongue at the same time...
I tasted blood, but kept biting my lip so I wouldn't scream out her name.
Oh god, so many senses, so much touch, so much feeling...oh god, oh god, god, god, oh my god...
"Fuck, Tori!" I screamed, coming apart, not caring if I failed, just caring about the ecstasy, the high that I was slowly coming down from.
I don't know how long I laid there, my eyes shut, breath coming in short gasps. I eventually opened my eyes to see her staring down at me, a smirk on her face.
"You lost your dare." she remarked, her eyes still shining with mischievous amusement.
