Page 50 of F*cking Shattered

He smiles like he knew he was right the whole time.

“Truth or dare?”

“Dare,” he says, eyes darkening.

“I dare you to remove all your clothes…”

“Hell yeah!” He stands.

“Wait, I’m not done. I dare you to remove all your clothes and wear them backwards for the rest of the day.”

He scoffs. “Fine, that’s easy.” He pulls off his shirt and turns it around backwards. I stand to button up the back of it.

“Truth or dare?” he asks as he removes his boxers and jeans and spins them around.

I move around to the back of him and zip and button his jeans before fixing his belt. “Dare.” It only seems fair at this point. And as soon as I can get this out of the way, I can be done with the game and cross it off my list.

River faces me with an evil smile. “I dare you to strip and walk out that door for a swim. Then walk back.”

“What? No way, there are people still out there. The sun hasn’t even gone down yet!”

He laughs. “It’s a dare. You have to.”

Fuck. I take a deep breath before letting it out slowly. I turn for the door and stare out it while removing my clothes. River leans against the wall, snacking on another brownie as he watches.

Once I’m completely naked, I slide the door open and step out onto the warm sand. As I walk slowly across the beach, all the old men freeze and watch me. I turn to see River standing in the same spot, eating his brownie with a huge smile on his face.

“I hate you,” I mouth at him. I turn around and finish my journey to the water. I walk in until I’m deep enough, and dive under. I swim in a big circle and come out. As I’m starting my walk back, I realize that this only makes it look even more erotic since I’m soaking wet with water rolling down all my curves.

Every old man on the beach is frozen, all but their eyes that are following me. All the ladies at their sides are yelling at their men and slapping their arms to stop them from looking at me.

I rush back inside the door and smack him on the arm. “I hate you.”

He pulls me against his chest. “No you don’t.” His lips land on mine and, before I know what’s happening, he has my naked body lying back on the table while he’s driving deep inside me.

It’s hard, fast, and full of passion, but it doesn’t last long.

He holds out his hand and I take it in mine as he pulls me to my feet. “What got into you?” I ask with a smile.

He shakes his head. “I don’t know. I feel funny.”

I draw my brows together. “What do you mean? Are you getting sick?” I ask as I start pulling my clothes back on.

“No, nothing like that,” he says with his back to me.

“Well what’s the matter?” I latch onto his arm and spin him around. He’s completely naked, cupping his junk with his hands.

I look at the place his hands are hiding and then back up to his eyes. “Are— are you hard again?”

His Adam’s apple bobs as he nods, a little unsure of what is happening to his body.

Suddenly, I put two and two together. “I’ll be right back.”

“Wait! Where are you going? I need you,” he pouts.

“Two minutes,” I promise before rushing out the door.

I make the quick walk back to the main building and search through the casino, shops, and finally the game room. My eyes land on Ms. Pen and I rush to her side.
