Chapter 28

When Jean got out of the shower, she did a telepathic scan of the grounds to find Marie. She found her sunbathing next to the pool, wearing nothing but a wife-beater and shorts.

It's unseasonably warm today, I think I'll go for a swim!

Jean changed into a very skimpy bikini, pulled a pair of shorts over it, and left with an evil grin on her face.


Cassie got out of her very cold shower and pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She checked her watch, 11:45 AM.

I guess I'd better go meet Ororo.

She gulped and left with a very nervous look on her face.


Marie lay in the hot sun, trying to will away her arousal. She couldn't seem to get that image of Jean out of her head.

God that was hot! I kinda don't want the image out of my head! She shook her head. No! I can't think that! If I lose this bet, Cassie will never let me live it down! I have to prove to her that I can do this! I can...hmmmm, that feels nice.

She moaned as she felt a pair of soft hands massage her shoulders and neck. Eyes still closed, she sighed and relaxed into the hands, willing them to continue. When she finally opened her eyes, she gulped worridly when she saw Jean's smirking face through the tint of her sunglasses. Her jaw dropped when she realized that Jean was wearing the skimpiest bikini she owned. Normally, it was Marie's favorite bikini, but right now, it was her worst nightmare.

Jean's smirk grew wider. She had Marie right where she wanted her and she intended to take full advantage of her girl's arousal. She sauntered toward the pool, Marie staring shamelessly at her beautiful ass. She shimied out of her shorts, making sure to bend over to grant her tormented lover a generous view of her ass. She faintly heard Marie's tortured whimper as she stood back to her full height and slowly lowered herself into the pool. She flashed Marie a sexy grin, the one she knew Marie couldn't resist.

This is gonna be fun.


Cassie slowly entered the kitchen, silently praying that something had happened to keep Ororo from their lunch date. She silently cursed the higher power that she knew was laughing at her when she saw Ororo gracefully perched on the kitchen counter.

She looks like the cat who's got the canary. I guess that makes me the canary.

"You ready to go Cassie?" Ororo sing-songed sweetly, her voice hinting something much more dangerous. Cassie gulped and fought the urge to bolt before the teasing started.

"Uh, yeah I'm ready." She said shakily as she followed Ororo out. Suddenly, Ororo spun around and pressed herself against Cassie's already hot and bothered body. Cassie's mind immediately went into panic mode.

OH SHIT! BODY PRESSED AGAINST ME! FIRE DOWN BELOW

"Hey baby, screw lunch! Let's skip straight to the dessert!" She purred as her eyes wandered up and down Cassie's muscular body, licking her lips in anticipation.

Cassie stared helplessly at her. She then made the smartest decision she had made all day, she ran to her room. Ororo grinned evily at her retreating form.

God, I didn't know I had such an effect on her!


Cassie slammed her door shut and locked it. She frantically pressed her back against the door for good measure.

"That's it! No more! Screw you D'Ancanto! If I have to go two more seconds like this, I'll surely die of sexual frustration!" Her rant was interrupted by a fist spastically pounding on the oak door.

"CASSIE! LET ME IN!" Marie's frantic voice screamed. Cassie unlocked and opened the door long enough to let Marie in, she then slammed the door and locked it back. She looked at Marie and raised an eyebrow.

"What the hell happened to you?" She queried. The front of Marie's shirt and shorts were soaked from Jean getting out of the pool and crawling into her lap, initiating a very intense make-out session.

"Never mind! I think they know!" Marie wispered, stuttering over her words. Cassie's eyebrow inched further upward.

"Why are you wispering?" She wispered back, earning a glare from the shorter woman. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, causing both girls to shriek.

"Oh Marieeeeeee!" Came Jean's sing-song voice, making Marie pale instantly.

"Oh no! It's the voice!" She wispered nervously.

"The voice?" Cassie asked. "What voice?"

"The voice!" Marie wispered, her panic growing with each passing second. "The voice that Jean gets when I'm in big trouble! She used to use it when I was a student!"

Cassie laughed at her friend. "Marie I hate to break it to ya, but you are the definition of whipped!"

"Cassieeeeeeee..." Cassie's laughter immediately stopped when Ororo's voice drifted into the room.

"Ohhhhhh...shit!" Cassie muttered.

"Time to go!" Marie suggested. Cassie nodded and the pair ran out onto the balcony that overlooked the woods surrounding the grounds.

"What do we do now?!" Cassie asked in a panic.

"Well, we jump."

"WHAT?!" Cassie screamed with wide eyes. Marie shrugged nervously.

"Hey, I figure we can hide out in the woods until they cool off." She suggested.

"Marie, we might break something!" Cassie said, trying to make Marie see reason. Suddenly, they heard the sounds of Jean using her telekinesis to turn the lock.

"Cassie, if those two get through then they will break something!" Marie said, pointing toward the door. Cassie quickly weighed her options.

"Okay, you're right! You first!" Marie's eyes widened.

"No way! You first!"

"Really Marie, I insist! It was your idea after all!"

"No, no, no Cassie, I insist! Age before beauty after all!"

"I hold senority over you!"

"Cassie we're not in ROTC anymore! In fact, I've been here longer than you so I hold senority over you!"

The lock turned.

"Together?" Cassie then suggested.

"Together." Marie agreed with a nod of her head. They then took a deep breath and jumped off of the balcony just as the door opened. They shut their eyes tight, preparing for impact, but then they suddenly jerked to a stop.

"Did they just catch us?" Cassie timidly asked, too scared to open her eyes.

"Nope, you two idiots just caught yourselves." Came Jean's calm reply from above them. The pair slowly peeked open an eye and found that their feet had gotten tangled in the vines that wrapped around the balcony's edge. Marie sighed in frustration.

"Okay, it's official, we are pathetic. Honestly, we can't even escape certain death correctly!" She growled. Jean and Ororo chuckled before their faces became deadly serious.

"Ladies," Ororo said slowly, evoking fear in both of the helpless mutants. "I think that we need to have a serious discussion about betting."

"Cassie, if you don't make it can I have your Axe stash?" Marie asked, certain that this was the end for the both of them.

"Only if I get your ipod." Cassie replied.

"Deal." Marie said as they shook hands on it, feeling Jean's telekinesis lift the two to their certain death.


Marie limped into the kitchen the next morning, finding Cassie shifting uncomfortably in her seat.

"How bad was yours?" Marie asked, literally feeling her best friend's pain. Cassie looked up at her through her bangs.

"Belt. You?"

"Hairbrush."

"HAIRBRUSH?! What the hell makes you so special?!" Cassie screamed.

"Well, afterwards she got me all hot and worked up, then stopped before I could cum." Marie explained dejectedly. Cassie winced.

"Ohhh, I take it back. At least Ro fucked me when my punishment was finally over." Marie slowly lowered herself into a seat at the counter, wincing in pain as she did so. She then sighed and slammed her head down onto the table, hard.

"She's planning on not having sex with me for a week!" Marie whimpered into the counter. "I wish she had spanked me with a belt! At least then it would have been over! This whole "no sex for a week" thing is gonna drive me up the wall!" Cassie chuckled a bit as she stood, suddenly very aware of how lucky she was.

"Well," She said as she clapped Marie on the back. "I guess that it just sucks to be you!" She laughed as she left the kitchen. Marie growled as she looked toward the heavens.

"I bet you're laughing your ass off right now." She growled to whatever higher power had chosen this week to make her life hell.


AN: Wow...I'm mean to Marie. Oh well, review please!
