Chapter 7: The Game

Clara, Tiff, and Maddie's eyes are rolling, but they are still drinking tequila.

"Let's go home, we’re all drunk already and we still have work tomorrow." Mallory said.

"Nevermind that, friend? Let's celebrate again today because you didn't get fired even though you turned your office into a sleeping place." Tiff laughed out loud.

"Huh? Is that true? It's a miracle that there is something like that in our office that wasn't removed and kicked out immediately." Clara agreed while eating the honey.

“One more shot, Cheers!” Tiff shouted and raised their wine glasses at the same time.

 "Come on, Clara. Ever since your worthless ex-boyfriend left you, you've been no fun. Live your life to the fullest. Besides, with the size of the Philippines, you think you'll meet someone more handsome than him.” Tiff smiled at Clara.

"Why did the conversation go to me, instead of our new workmate? Mallory, do you have a boyfriend yet?” Tiff asked Mallory to change the subject.

She leaned back in the chair and let out a deep breath.

Tiff rolled her eyes at her. "Hey, Clara, don't ask because she hasn't had a boyfriend since birth. She has no sex life!"

Tiff and Clara laughed out loud.

"Is that so, let's find something to make her happy at least once in a while. Let's have a game!”

"Okay, that's what I want so that this night has a thrill."

Mallory was extremely drunk so without thinking she agreed to her friends' dare to kiss the most handsome man she saw at the bar.

"Your 20,000 is mine! I will do that. It's so easy!” Mallory assured them and then she took the money from the table and pocketed it.

Clara grunted. "It's just a freaking kiss. Grow up, Mallory. You only live once."

She thought about what she said. Yes indeed. She's just going to kiss a man she doesn't know and will never see again. Yes. That would be great. Just a kiss. She convinced herself. She stood up and gripped the table as if the entire area was spinning.

"I’ll just go for a while in the restroom and I'm going to find a man to kiss." she teased her friends. 

"I'm really drunk! Unbelievable, tonight I will kiss a man I don't know?" Mallory talking to herself.

She staggered as she walked towards the restroom. She heard her friends calling her name, but she ignored them. 

Tiff and Clara continued to laugh. They constantly drink their black label wine.

"Clara, someone is calling you." Tiff pointed at the light on her phone.

She grabbed it and answered it even though she didn't know who it was.

 "Yes hello! Call tomorrow and we are busy now!"

"How dare you talk to me that way!" The person on the other line answered.

Clara couldn't barely hear what she was talking to because of the volume in the bar.

"Where are you?" Luke asked again.

She didn't answer, and it annoyed him on the other line.

"Come on Clara, let's find Mallory. She’s really drunk and doesn't know how to come back here." Tiff invited Clara.

Luke's ear holes seemed to expand upon hearing this. The sounds were loud but he could clearly hear that Mallory was with them and was still drunk.

They both go find Mallory and she just drops their phone on the table.

"They are really crazy! Where am I going to find them when the bar here is so many?”Luke scratched his head.

Until he thought of calling Tiffany's ex-boyfriend. He remembered he saved it on his phone when he once delivered equipment to his office.

"Get ready for me Clara! How dare you dropped a phone call too!" Luke exclaimed.

****

Mallory stood up alone and was about to walk again when her eyes fell on the man sitting at the bar sipping wine.

Her lips parted. Her heart hammered inside her chest. Everything inside her comes alive at the sight of a male god in front of her. Almost all women are looking at men. He oozed with sex appeal.

He sits with confidence. He sits there like he's interesting every woman to drool over him. He drank the liquor from the glass like its nectar from Olympus.

The man was wearing a gray t-shirt and rugged blue faded jeans. From behind, his biceps look delectable. She wanted to feel them in her hands.

She shook violently as she felt a living part of her body as she looked at the man. 

"What is happening to me? Is it the effect of what we drank? When did I become interested in men? Or is it just because of our bet for 20,000 just to kiss a man?" Mallory was talking to herself like she was going crazy.

He looked away and looked for someone else.

That man looks rich.She knew she wasn't on his level. She knew that she's not appealing. But why does her foot seem to have a mind of its own and is walking towards the man?

She stops just inches away from his back. It was too late for her to run away and hide because he turned in her direction. His deep brown eyes captured her.

“My god! He’s hunk and handsome.”

It finally faced him. "Yes?"

He swallowed secretly. What a deep baritone voice he had! Mallory stared hopped into his slightly parted lips. It looks lush and inviting... inviting her to kiss him... she wanted to nip and bite his lips. Oh god, what's happening to me? Her body tingled... her body felt alive! He does not know if this is the effect of alcohol or if this man really has a strong sex appeal.

"Mallory, are you drunk? And you don't know who you're talking to?" Luke asked her but the sound got louder so she didn't hear.

She even took a step closer to Luke.

“You really want a game, huh? Do you really not like me or do you just want to tease me?”

Luke pulled her until they were in a space near the parking area.

Mallory's body felt like it was on fire at the thought that he liked the way he dragged her.

Mallory kissed her boss Luke. He was about to let go of her lips because her body was heating but he didn't let her.

"This is what you're doing here, kissing some guy!" Luke said pissed off but still as if she was like deaf and couldn't hear.

“Don’t play with fire with me or else you will lose! I'll give you what you're looking for!” He added.

He made the kiss even deeper. Luke's hand also twirled. Mallory seemed to run out of breath but Luke didn't stop her.

He bit her lower lip and pulled away. "Damn, woman. What power did you possess to turn me on like this?" He said, huskily.

A small seductive smile appeared on her lips. "You do the same to me."

His eyes darkened with lust. "Oh, yeah?"

She nodded then leaned in to bite his lower lip. "Hmm-mm. You made my body tingle."

He smiled then captured her lips again. He knew that some women in the bar had their eyes on them but he didn't care. She kissed him back with the same ferocity.

Luke pulled her back inside again because of the many people coming to where they were standing.

He dropped three sweet little kisses on her lips before pulling away. 

"Want to dance?"

She nodded and smiled seductively. "I love to dance."

He smiled then led her to the dance floor. He spun her around before wrapping her body around her and pulling her close to him.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, and she liked the feeling of their body touching.

Mallory turns her back on the man and grinds her ass over his groin. When she heard him give out a moan, Mallory was turned on. When he was about to stop what he was doing, he clutched her waist and pulled her closer to his now erect manhood.

"You're making me horny." He said this in a low voice while going along with the soft rhythm of the music.

Mallory turned around to the man and gazed at him. She bit her lower lip and started moving her body seductively. She doesn't know if it's the liquor dancing but she felt like dancing in front of this man's hungry look. No man had ever looked at her like that. Full of want... lust...

Her ass was touching his erect penis, and she moaned at every touch. It's turning her on and she can't stop the lust building inside her.

The man seized her waist and whispered in her ear. "Want to go out and continue this in my car?"

It was an invitation for something more. Mallory knows that but she said yes, anyway. Thanks to the alcohol he drank, he was not in the right frame of mind. All she could think about was kissing and touching this man. He grabbed the man by the hand and pulled him out of the bar.

After they left the bar, the man wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer as he walked.

"So, what should I call you?" He asked while drawing a circle on her waist using her thumb.

Damn! It's her turn on.

He swallowed before answering. "Maddie. Call me, Maddie."

"Hmm... Maddie not Mallory..?. Nice name." He whispered over her ear; it gave her goosebumps.

"How about you? What should I call you?"

"Luke."

After saying that, he led her towards a black SUV. Before he had even gotten on board, he leaned against the car door and pressed him with a fervent kiss that immediately warmed his body.

He moaned as his hand reached her chest and squeezed it. He grabbed her muscular arm as one of his hands went down between her thighs.

He spun her around before wrapping her body around her and pulling her close to him.

"Luke..." She moaned his name when he lightly slid his hand on her womanhood against the fabric of her jeans.

"Yes, Maddie?" He breathes on her neck.

"Kiss me, please." She shamelessly begged, and he gladly obliged.

His lips were on her lips in an instant. Their tongues battled in sync and all she could do was a whimper in pleasure his kiss was giving her.

Maddie pulled away from the kiss and trailed her lips from his lips, down to his jaw. She nipped and licked his skin, making him moan.

Luke groaned. "Oh... I want you, Maddie." He said; his voice was full of lust.

He heard him open the car then let him inside. When he sat down, he noticed they were both in the backseat. He already knew what was going to happen, but he didn't care. She wanted this. She needed him to touch her... to feel her... She's already wet, and she wants Luke to touch her.

"Maddie! Where have you been?" Clara and Tiff were shouting near the car where he took Mallory.

"Tiff?" she joggled the man in front of her then suddenly went out to her friends.

"Where are you going? Did you already kiss a man?" The two asked.

"Yes, I don't know him but when I think of the money, you will pay me I kiss him long!” Mallory answered.

"Shameless! You just used me in your games! Get ready! Who do you think you are to do this to me?" Luke said, annoyed.

"That woman is unpredictable as if nothing happened and she left me easily? What does she want to prove that what we do has no effect on her? How dare you! I will let you pay for this miss secretary!” He added boiling anger.
