I was tall and slim, built for cardio. Niko wasn’t the only competitive one in the house, and I was overly confident that I’d win.

Still turned on, I hopped down from the counter and crossed my arms. “Fine,” I agreed. “If I win, each of you have to...” I smirked before continuing. “Write a single-page essay on how your frail old bodies couldn’t keep up—in red ink,” I irked. I looked forward to reading them.

Aiden sent me a stern look. “I’ll let that slide this time, Doll. Careful,” he warned.

Niko matched my crossed-armed stance. “And when one of us wins?” He prompted.

“If any of you win, I’ll let you do whatever you want to me,” I teased in a sultry tone.

With a naughty twinkle in his eyes, Niko chuckled. “Oh, you stupid little girl... you’re really going to regret having said that.”

Using a single finger to tilt my chip upwards, he kissed me, his tongue tangling with mine in a heated kiss. Caught off guard, I moaned into his mouth, wetness pooling in my panties.

He smacked my ass before pulling away, earning a chuckle from Aiden. “Put your game face on, Cariño; your virginity depends on it,” he smirked before excitedly jogging out of the kitchen and shouting for Dominic and Wyatt to put on running shoes.

My virginity? That was long gone. I glanced at Aiden, wondering if he was as confused as I was.

He took a sip of his coffee. “You’ve got more than one hole, Doll,” he grinned before he also left, probably to put sneakers on.

My eyes widened, recalling Dominic’s finger in my ass, telling me how he couldn’t wait to fuck it... The thought of two of them being inside me at once made my stomach flip with greed. “Jesus Christ,” I breathed out.

I was still going to win, but now I had fantasies of pervy things that wouldn’t stop playing in my mind.

“We’re racing to the mailbox at the end of the driveway,” Niko instructed.

The five of us stood in a line, sneakers on, ready to bolt. I threw on a tennis skirt and a simple T-shirt, knowing this would only take a second. Dominic and Wyatt didn’t seem too interested in winning, given their sweatpants and sweaters, although their pockets were strangely full. Niko and Aiden were more competitive, dressed in shorts and T-shirts.

The driveway was long, about 200 feet to the end, with forest on either side of the gravel road. It was cloudy, a dense layer of fog covering the ground.

Wyatt stretched his arms high in the air and groaned. My eyes dropped to his exposed stomach and V-line. “Wait, this is a race?” He asked, seeming confused.

What did he think this was?

Niko nodded, sending him a sharp look. “Yes, Wyatt. Pay attention.”

“Why...?” Dominic cocked a brow.

In unison, Niko and I began our separate spiels about how we each thought we could beat the other and the punishments that came with losing.

Dominic sent me a stern look at the essay part of the bet. “You’d better be a fast runner, Darling.”

Stretching my arms in front of me, I gave him a kiss-ass smile. “I just need to be faster than you four.”

Aiden chuckled and shook his head. “Shut up and get ready.”

I stood between Niko and Aiden as Niko began counting down from five. One leg was in front of the other, my body slightly forward to propel myself once he got to one. They all had similar stances, but Niko had his eyes locked on the mailbox down the road, looking ready to tackle it.

Just before Niko called one, Aiden mumbled something under his breath that sent shivers down my spine.

“This chase doesn’t end at the mailbox, Odette...”

Chase?

I didn’t have time to analyze his words before I took off running. Niko was slightly ahead of me, and I couldn’t be bothered to turn behind me. I heard their footsteps directly behind me, making my adrenaline spike.

Niko was sprinting, looking like he needed this win more than air itself. I knew he was competitive, but his ego may take a hit when I beat him.

Deciding that I let him have his five seconds of fun, I lengthened my stride. Now, next to him, with the others closely behind (I assumed), I put everything into speed. The mailbox was approaching quickly, and I needed to get there before Niko.
