The Fiery Boys (A Sample)

Too bad none of the gods were listening. Chuck wrapped his arms around me and crushed my body against his. Pressed up like this, I couldn't deny that he was a fine specimen. His tall, solid, muscular body felt wonderful. No wonder he didn't know how to talk to women-he didn't have to.

I hated to disappoint him, but I needed to. And besides, Jason would throw me off the bus if I let Chuck have his way. I pulled back and shook my head. "No, thanks." Before Chuck could continue his attack, I steered the conversation away from his penis. "So where did River go? And where's Buck? Is he sleeping in the bedroom?" Seriously, where were my two favorite Fiery Boys?

Chuck laughed. "Sleeping? No. Nobody sleeps in the bedroom. We do other things there. Things we can't do in our cubicles unless we want to end up in traction." He wiggled his eyebrows at me as if his meaning wasn't already glaringly obvious. Subtlety was not Chuck's forte.

"Nobody's in the bedroom. Yet. Here, I'll show you." He opened the door at the back of the bus and led me in. I stood there, amazed.

Besides being spacious, this room was like a portal to a different world. In direct contrast to the heavy black-and-red motif on every surface of the bus, the bedroom was a welcome relief. The walls were a gentle off-white, the carpet light blue. Even the furniture was tastefully simple: plain nightstands and a solid wood headboard on a huge bed. I nodded my appreciation then headed out to the safety of the hallway.

In an effort to escape Chuck's horniness, I went to my cubicle to unpack. But he wasn't done with me yet. He pulled me to his side. "You want to see Buck? Check this out." He knocked on the bathroom door and shouted into it. "You ready?"

Ready? What was Buck doing in the bathroom? Another setup from the oversexed Fiery Boys? But this time, the man in question was Buck, my number two heartthrob. If he came out of the bathroom and propositioned me, I wasn't sure I'd be able to refuse.

The door opened and instead of the handsome Buck Morris, a naked woman stepped out. I was so surprised to see her that my whole body snapped to attention. There I was, mentally prepared to meet a rock icon only to come face-to-face with a naked groupie. This bus was full of surprises.

But the woman was far from surprised. She seemed to be completely at ease with her lack of clothing, and given her shapely body, I could see why. She fell easily into Chuck's arms, then she noticed me. "Contest girl." She laughed and kissed Chuck hard. Then she turned back to me with a smirk. "You lose."
