It's currently two in the morning and there's no end in site to this party. I think it's safe to say everyone, including all the wolves, are drunk. The drinks are still flowing and everyone's still grazing the snack table. Devon and Leah ran off about ten minutes ago with beers in hand, headed inside the basement. She flashed me a sneaky smile before ducking inside, I'm so proud of her. Speaking of horny pairings, Kim and Jared are occupying the fire-pit area with their making out right now too. Everyone else, aside from myself and Hannah, are engaged in yet another drinking game, this one not involving kissing or body-shots. Obviously Quil wasn't in charge of this one. I turn to find him in the crowd. He's off to the side of the beer pong table with an arm casually wrapped around Beth's waist as he talks in her ear. I can see her big smile from over here.
Hannah and I, both drunk, have been talking about life while laying the grass, staring up at the clear night sky. Hannah really opened up after she got more drunk and I really have enjoyed talking to her. She's very sweet and friendly, but behind all her shyness she really isn't all that innocent. She's been mentioning Embry's chiseled jaw and thick arms quite a few times, and clearly those small kisses they shared were good ones.
"It's so hot." I mutter, swiping my forehead with the back of my hand. "Are you hot?" I glance over at her, rising up on my elbows. Even the small amount of clothes I have on seem like too much right now. It's growing more humid, rain's likely to come at some point but the skies remain clear of clouds for now.
She turns to me, nodding quickly. "I'm sweating my ass off." She laughs, "But aren't people making out inside?" She's right, I'm not about to cock block Leah just because I'm sweaty. It's a hot sticky summer night though, and I'd love to cool off. An idea pops into my head and a wide grin takes over my face, Hannah narrows her eyebrows. "What?"
"Quil literally has a creek right back there, I've swam in it since I was a kid. There's solar paneled lights by it, so it's not scary back there." I point towards the wooded area near us.
Hannah's eyes widen like it's the best idea she's ever heard. "I'm so in..wait. I didn't bring a change of clothes, I don't wanna ruin Beth's sisters car with my soaking wet clothes." She frowns down at her outfit, tugging at her t-shirt.
I merely smirk at her. "Let's go skinny dipping."
She looks a little hesitant at first, but it seems to vanish just a moment later. "You know what? Fuck it, lets do it."
Giggling I manage to heave myself up, which is a little hard since it feels like the world is spinning around me. Once I'm up on two feet I try to help Hannah, though we definitely struggle for a few moments. As we both manage to get to our feet we're now dying of laughter, the whole thing seeming hilarious to us now. Apparently we've also drawn attention to ourselves. Alexis and Lyndsay stand nearby giving us curious looks from where they stand, waiting for their turn with the game.
I muster up a blank face as I point at them, "We're-" I motion in between Hannah and I, "Gonna go for a little swim." I point to the woods and then turn around, linking arms with Hannah, as I steer her to it. I hear heavy footsteps running after us and a moment later Beth has latched onto my other arm, giggling as she walks in line with us.
"What are we doing? Going on an adventure?" She asks, her voice fluttering.
"Even better." I grin at her. It's a short walk from the yard to the creek but the trees are thick and provide enough privacy for us to accomplish this without being exposed to the whole party. Old Quil has always up kept the creek and made sure it was safe to swim in.
There's no leeches or snapping turtles, or anything that's going to bother us in this water. He has several solar lights sticking out of the dirt surrounding the whole creek to ensure we can see well enough to swim safely. It's even brighter than I remember it being. The water is still and looks rather clear as I squat down, dragging my fingers along it. The water starts off shallow and gradually gets deeper, just about six feet deep at the farthest section.
"Is it cold?" Hannah asks, already kicking off her shoes in preparation. I follow her lead, going for my top next.
"No, this is gonna feel amazing." I moan, tossing my shirt down on top of my shoes.
Beth looks from me to Hannah and then back to me, "No shit, are we skinny dipping? I'm so in." She quickly follows our lead in stripping down to nothing.
Once my clothes are messily discarded onto the forest ground I carefully begin walking towards the water. There's some rocks leading up to it, so I'm careful not to stub a toe, even in my drunken state. A moment later I hear Beth wince and a string of curse words follow, making me and Hannah giggle. "No one said this would be a treacherous journey." Beth giggles, quickly running past us so she can get into the water fast, not wanting to step on anymore sharp rocks.
"Nice ass!" I call after her, kneeling down once I've gotten to where the water is to my abdomen. A chill runs up my spine at the sudden temperature change, but I release a sigh of relief. The water seems to tickle at my sticky, hot skin.
"Yeah well nice tits." Beth contorts from where she swims, only a few feet from me.
Hannah looks back at me, laughing a bit. "I was gonna say you have a really nice set of boobs." I laugh at that as well, both of us giggling.
Hannah takes the plunge and dunks herself fully under water, swimming over to Beth and I. When she emerges she smooths her blonde hair out of her face. "Do you guys think anyone will see us?" She asks, although she doesn't sound all that worried.
"The trees are really thick and it's dark enough that I don't think anyone will come looking back here." I shake my head, tilting my head back a bit. I can't dive under, unless I want raccoon eyes a moment later.
Beth swims around us, giving her friend a playful look. "Maybe Embry will come find you and give you some tongue action this time." I snort at that, watching Hannah giggle nervously, splashing at Beth. Beth only giggles louder. "So Gwen.." She trails off, raising an eyebrow at me.
I raise one back, or at least try to. I can hardly feel my face at this point and all I can think about is how good this water feels against my body. "So Beth.." I mock.
"What's with you and Leah's little brother?" She poses the question, stopping before me, leaving just a few inches between us.
I merely play it off, lifting a shoulder. "We were just playing the games."
She gives me a look that says 'yeah fucking right'. "No, the rest of us were just playing the games. You guys were going at it. That last kiss was so hot that I was horny." She snorts, poking at my bicep. "And all those body shots? You're not fooling me." She shakes her head, chewing on her lip. "Ya know I've never seen Seth do anything remotely that scandalous before, especially not in front of all those people. You have that boy riled up."
I scoff, waving a hand at her. "Everyone gets horny when they drink."
She won't even give me an inch to lie to her. "This is different, this is some pent up sexual frustration coming out. Don't be ashamed, Seth's hot. I totally get where you're coming from getting with a younger guy too." She winks at me suggestively.
"Says the girl that's ready to jump Quil's bones." Hannah pipes up from where she swims in her own little world a few feet from us. "God, I want to jump Embry's bones." She mutters, more to herself this time. Beth and I look at each other, both obviously trying to suppress our laughter but it manages to fall out of us. "I can be horny too!" She declares, splashing at us. We both sequel as the cool water dribbles over us.
Beth gives Hannah the finger, although I don't even think Hannah's looking. "Of course you're horny, you've been holding onto your virginity for too long." Hannah being a virgin isn't really a shock. She has a very innocent demeanor, but clearly that's not who she is. I don't say it, but I'm almost positive Embry's a virgin too. A perfect pair if you ask me. "Have you and Seth done anything?" Beth asks, sounding interested.
I shake my head, "No, never." I dismiss it.
"Well he clearly likes you." She pushes. "I mean the guys point it out all the time, it doesn't take an idiot to figure that out. I wasn't sure if you liked him back at first, but that kiss was really something." Her words worry me and now I'm wondering if Leah thought the same. If Leah now is suspicious of the two of us, if she'll confront me about it. I haven't really prepared to talk to her about it, but really what is there to say? Beth has no idea though, she wouldn't understand why Leah would be angry about something like this.
I just shake my head, keeping my face calm, unbothered. "You don't know what you're talking about." I say lightly, but this time she just gives up, dismissing it. "Are you gonna spend the night with Quil?"
A grin spreads on Beth's face now. "I wish, but not tonight. I'd like to do it sometime though, he's a pretty good kisser." Been there, done that.
"You should." I encourage. "And Hannah should probably jump Embry's bones soon." I say loud enough for her to hear.
"Fuck off!" She calls back, making us both giggle at her.
Beth and I start chatting about the college classes she's taking and Hannah continues to drift off in her own little world, when I hear the sound of low chatter coming closer to us. Beth and I pause, both of us turning towards the noise. A moment later Quil, Embry, and Seth emerge from the woods all laughing and talking before their eyes land on us. Before any of us girls can say a word Quil starts talking.
"You guys had the same idea we did, nice!" He grins at us, quickly starting to strip down. Embry and Seth follow his lead, the two of them in some deep conversation about beer pong, so they're not paying all that much attention. The boys all stop at their boxers and briefs, leaving them one. Clearly, they thing our underwear is on too. I look to Beth and her eyes are wide with shock as she stares from the boys to me. Quil being the first to strip down, is now rushing over towards us, wanting to jump right into the deeper water.
Once I realize what he's doing I squeal, quickly trying to move closer to Hannah. Not only do I not want to get splashed or landed on, I also really don't want Quil to see my boobs. Beth follows my lead, but a little too late, as Quil jumps in feet first. His large splash lands right on Beth and a loud squeal erupts from her, quickly followed by laughter as she shouts out, "Shit, shit, shit!" While trying to rush over to me and Hannah as quickly as possible, before Quil emerges.
I'm in complete shock, so all I can manage to do is bellow with laughter, motioning for Beth to move faster. Quil is deep enough to the floor of the creek and we can't see where he might emerge. My eyes shoot to Seth and Embry, but the two of them are just casually walking towards the chaos from the shallow end, still chatting away. Hannah stands behind me, as if I'll be a good level of protection from her.
Our bodies from the chest down are submerged, but with the lights surrounding the creek I'm not so sure how well the boys will be able to see.
Before I can think of what to do next Quil emerges, awfully close to me. He tosses his head back, allowing for his soaking wet curls to bounce back, away from his eyes. His face is dripping wet so he rubs his hands over it, before a smile is revealed on his face. "Let's play chicken." He says, a wicked grin on his face as he lurches closer to me, trying to grab onto me.
I yelp, trying to swim backwards before he can touch me and realize I'm butt naked right in front of him. I think I jumped back a little too high and gave him a little show on accident, because a moment later Quil's face goes from smiling and laughing to utter disbelief. He gasps his eyes remaining on my chest until I can slap my hands to my chest. That seems to break him out of his daze as he slaps a hand over his eyes, quickly turning away. "Holy fuck, Gwen." His voice is a mere squeak, his back turned to me now.
That seems to gain the attention of Embry and Seth who now are swimming up closer to us, each looking concerned. "What's wrong?" Seth frowns at me, maybe worried one of us had gotten hurt.
"I think that's close enough, Clearwater." Beth mutters when Seth get's to be about a foot and a half away from her, her arms now crossed over her chest to shield herself.
Seth's eyebrows string together, looking back to me for answers as to what's wrong. Quil's still muttering "Jesus fuck, holy fucking shit." In front of me, probably trying to get the mental image of my boobs out of his mind. For my sake, I hope he does well at keeping that image out of his brain during patrol too.
I swallow thickly, trying to sober myself up enough to explain. "Um. I think you guys didn't really catch on to the no clothing rule that we established." I try to smile, but it comes out more of a sheepish, embarrassed grin.
That comments seems to get the gears turning for Seth and Embry, who both quickly go wide eyed at us.
"You saw Gwen's boobs?" Embry snorts out, sounding utterly in disbelief. When Quil only continues to curse himself, Embry begins howling with laughter, so loud it makes me flinch. "No fucking way!" He snorts, wheezing so hard he clutches his stomach.
My face must be as dark as a tomato at this point and I don't dare look at any of the boys. It was initially only Embry laughing until I start to hear Beth giggle along with him. "It's a little funny." She manages to say between her suppress giggles, which seem to only get louder.
"Literally fuck you both." I shake my head, but a grin rising on my face. "Get naked or get out." I warn the boys.
Reluctantly and now quietly the boys all reach down and pull off their underwear one by one. "Gwen?" Quil's voice is genuine and soft. "Would it only be fair now if you saw my dick? I don't really suggest it because it's kind of not working right with all the alcohol and it's kind of cold in-" I cut him off by splashing the back of his head, soaking his hair yet ago. "Didn't think so." Is all he says.
"Totally thought Quil would be seeing my tits tonight, but this was pretty fun too." Beth jokes, lightening the mood further.
Quil turns around, smirking at that. "That can still be arranged." He points a finger at her. She just giggles and splashes his face, swimming away from him. He follows right after her, making her squeal.
I glance at Embry and Hannah shyly looking at the other, both obviously wanting to talk but not knowing how to start. "Hannah told me that book I got you is one of her favorites." I offer them, trying to give them a starting place. Embry smiles at that, his eyes never leaving Hannah's.
That seems to get Hannah going and she drunkenly starts explaining the plot and how much she enjoyed the author's style of writing. After a moment I look at Seth and motion to him that we should leave the pair alone. Beth and Quil remain laugh and splashing across from Embry and Hannah, so I take Seth past the curve of the creek, allowing the two couples a bit more privacy from us.
I did happen to forget that it again becomes shallower over here too, so I keep my hands tightly glued to my chest and I try to hunch down a bit. It's silent for a moment until Seth clears his throat. "I'm sorry if we invaded yours space." He shyly runs a hand through his hair, keeping his eyes on mine.
My body is on fire at the thought of how naked and close we are. If I just took two steps towards him we'd be touching. I swallow, shaking my head. "It's more fun now." My voice comes out more sultry and low than I expected it to.
"I uh, I won't look I promise." He motions to my chest.
Feeling playful I chew on my lip, slowly dropping my hands from covering me. I stand upright, not trying to conceal my breasts now as they don't even touch the water. We're close enough to the side of the creek that it's well lit, he could see them up close and personal now. It seems to be a struggle for him as he diverts his eyes completely, not looking anywhere near me. "How are you liking your first party?" I ask, dipping my head back to wet my hair. As I stand back up I smooth it out, but still he doesn't look towards me.
"It's the most fun I've had in a long time." He admits, a smile pulling on his face. "I wish I didn't miss all the other ones."
My chest squeezes. "Well I think this one has been the best yet. I mean the skinny dipping is new." I laugh lightly, "The body shots too." My body tingles, remembering the way his tongue felt on my stomach. Better yet, the way he reacted to my tongue on his stomach. His wobbly breaths and groans have me squeezing my thighs together again. My tongue wets my lips. "Why did you drink when you landed on Alexis?" I manage to find the courage to question him.
Shortly after our kiss Seth spun and it landed on Alexis. He didn't even hesitate to take a sip of his drink, to my surprise.
He looks a little caught off guard by my question, now looking back at me. "Because I didn't want to kiss her." He lifts a shoulder up, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Then why-" A loud crunch cuts me off, sounding from behind me.
Without thinking I heave myself towards Seth, running right into his side, gripping tightly at his bicep. His other arm attempts to wrap around me, holding me closer to him. We both stare into the forest for a moment. I train my ears to listen and I try to see past the darkness. A moment later a small fox, nearly the size of a cat, emerges from the woods and skips to the shallow bit of the creek, licking at the water. I let out a relieved breath, slowly peeling myself off of Seth.
I run a hand through my hair, trying to calm myself down as my heart continues to pound in my chest. "Sorry." I sigh, shaking my head.
When I look up at him I realize that his promise to me earlier was a little weak. His eyes are planted right on my breasts, which are wet as little water droplets roll off of them. His lips are parted just in the slightest and his eyes look a little heavy lidded.
Before I could say or do anything I hear Beth's voice call from the other side of the creek. "Our rides here, we gotta go guys!"
