all laugh and cheer as he drops the cup and runs towards the spa, leaping in and splashing water everywhere.
“Burned, baby!” he says to Addi, splashing her with water.
“It’s not over yet.” She grins.
“Who’s next?” Jackson says.
“We will go in a circle, so that means it’s Ciara’s turn.”
“I am not getting out of this spa,” she says, crossing her arms. “I’m pregnant, and an invalid.”
“Truth, then,” I say, grinning at her.
“Truth it is,” she says, giving a nervous smile.
“Okay,” I say, thinking. “Have you ever watched someone have sex?”
Her cheeks flush, and Spike chuckles. “Answer them, Tomcat.”
“Oh God,” she says, covering her face. “You’re horrible J, you just wait.”
“Answer it,” I tease, wiggling my brows.
“Yes, I have.”
We all cheer, and Jackson reaches across, slapping her on the back. “Atta girl!”
“Liked it, too.” Spike grins, and then ducks when her hand lashes out. Our laughing continues until there’s tears in our eyes. That’s when Jackson speaks up.
“I say we make this a group challenge: girls against men. Save the private shame for another time.”
“Oh?” Addison says. “Do spill, Daddy dearest.”
“We men will make a challenge for you ladies, and vise versa.”
Oh no.
“I say we do it.” Ciara giggles, rubbing her hands together.
“Oh, I’m in!” Addi grins.
“Oh God, this isn’t wise,” Serenity says, rubbing her head anxiously.
“Yeah, are we sure we trust them?” I mumble.
“Just think of it like this...we get to return the favor.” Addison winks at me.
“You make a good point,” I admit.
“Oh, come on ladies, let’s have some fun!”
“All right,” I say, clapping. “I’m game.”
“Me too!” Serenity says.
“So, who’s going first?” Muff grins, wiggling his brows.
“We are!” I say.
They all look at me. “Well,” I explain, “we need to know how bad we can get back at them.”
“Smart girl.” Spike grins. “Okay, boys, let’s do this. Girls, out of the spa.”
With a load of giggles, we all get out of the spa and rush inside Addison and Cade’s cabin to find some warmth. It’s freezing out, and the inside of the cabin is fully heated. We all huddle in, and dry ourselves, finding some clothes before forming a group in the living room. The guys are all huddled together, talking amongst themselves, laughing and nodding. I don’t even want to know what they have planned. Muff looks over his shoulder at me, and gives me a little wink before joining back in.
“Ugh, it’s so sickening.” Serenity grins, stepping up beside me.
“What is?”
“The way he looks at you. It’s kind of gross.”
“Oh, you can talk.” I laugh. “Jackson eye-rapes you every time you walk in the room.”
She laughs loudly. “Yeah, he kind of does, doesn’t he?”
“Ew!” Addison mumbles.
“I’d like to think Spike still eye-rapes me.” Ciara sighs.
“Oh, he does!” We all say at once.
“Right, ladies, your challenge has been set,” Jackson says, turning and facing us. All the guys follow suit.
“God, I’m nervous now,” Serenity says.
“Don’t be, darlin’.” Jackson grins at her. “We’ll be nice.”
“So hit us,” I say, rubbing my cool arms. “What are we going to do?”
“Your challenge,” Spike grins, “is to do the ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ dance for us, half naked.”
I snort loudly, and the girls beside me do the same. “Seriously?” Addison says.
“Seriously.” Cade winks at her. “We’re bikers - what did you think we’d ask you to do?”
“Damn bikers,” Ciara mutters.
“So, you either accept the challenge,” Muff grins, “or you accept defeat.”
“Oh hell no,” I say, taking the hem of my shirt and lifting it over my head. “Ain’t no biker bringing us girls down!”
All the guys’ eyes widen, and I’m almost sure that without the alcohol, I wouldn’t be doing this. The girls watch me for a moment, and
