"I need some release tonight. Are you up for the challenge?" she said with shadows covering her eyes and mischief lacing her every word.

"Wait, what?" I said slowly, standing, thinking I must be misreading her. She had never once shown an interest in me in the 4 months she had been my roommate.

"I asked if you could provide me with an escape from the party. I think we can have a little more fun just the two of us." She said, closing the door with a *click* and deftly turning the lock on my door with an ease that suggested she had done this a thousand times.

At first, I just thought she was really drunk. So I smiled and tried to get her to go back to the kitchen and grab a glass of water. However, she was having none of that. She just shook her head, her shoulder length dark brown hair in it's usual ponytail, swinging back and forth with the motions of her neck.

I was standing by the side of my bed now, having gotten up from where I was previously seated while trying to finish some last minute homework on my laptop. Which I have found can be quite hard when one of the three occupants of the apartment you are renting with happens to throw parties every other weekend.

"I mean, I'm not doing anything special right now if you want to hang out?" I said, still trying to gauge the situation, and hoping she would stop talking in riddles. I normally wasn't this clueless. I was an attractive guy by most people's standards, and I have had plenty of girls come onto me, and this certainly wasn't the first time one has approached me at one of Derik's many parties.

This was however the first time that girl was Piper.

"Yeah, we can hang out. If that is what you want to call it." She said, closing the space between us in the few steps it took for her to get from my door to the space directly in front of me.

The top of her head came to right about my chin, so I had to look down at where she stood. Doing so made her job easier and all she had to do was tilt her head back and lean forward and her lips were on mine.

It took me a second from the shock to slowly push her away in confusion. "Are you okay? Did someone slip something into your drink?" I asked, trying to figure out what exactly was going on. Piper rarely ever drank anything at any of the parties, and she didn't smell like booze. She just smelled like the rose perfume I'd come to know her by. And really, I'd never known her to smoke anything either, and her brown eyes looked as clear as they always were.

"No, I'm not drunk or high, I'm just horny. And I think you can help me solve that little problem." Piper said, putting one of her hands on my chest to slowly push me into a sitting position on the edge of my bed. "Unless you don't want to." She said, still hovering over me.

"No, I don't mind," and I really didn't, Piper was cute and I certainly wouldn't turn down a cute girl trying to get me in bed, "But I didn't think you had any interest in me." I told her honestly. She had started renting with me and Derik about 4 months ago, and she had done nothing to show me that she wanted to be anything more than friends. We have both been single since the day we first met, so it's not like there was anything holding her back.

Piper was always pretty outgoing and seemed like an open book. Just one that I wasn't very good at reading I guess.

"I've always thought you were attractive." She said with a sly smile, and didn't wait for a reply from me before she started kissing me again. This time I kissed her back. That combined with the position she had put us in had us quickly taking off our clothes.

We moved to the center of the bed and Piper only stopped kissing me long enough to reach over and open the drawer where I kept my condoms, like she knew exactly where they would be.

I didn't have the mental capacity at the time to dwell on this because she was kissing me again, and all hopes of coherent thoughts were lost to me.
