I nod to Emily who smiles back at me.

“The two of you are playing against the team directly across from you on the mat.”

Emily and I smile at the two singles standing opposite us.

“When I call your spin, all four players must take the position called. Game play continues until one team member either falls or touches a knee to the ground. Team partners may occupy the same spot if necessary but cannot occupy a colored space already used by the opposing team. Are we ready?”

Emily and I both nod and await our first instruction.

“Right foot, red!”

Emily moves up two spots on the map and places her right foot on the red circle. I choose the circle directly behind hers.

“Left foot, green!”

Easy. With my right foot firmly on the red circle, I side-step to the other side of the mat placing my left foot on the green circle. Emily does the same in front of me.

“So far so good, right?” Emily grins, looking behind her at me.

“Easy peasy.”

The spinner spins his wheel again and leans into the microphone. “Left hand, green!”

That call doesn’t seem as easy to do, however I’m definitely seeing the potential this game has for some real fun. Emily bends at the waist in a half lunge to her left to place her left hand down and I have no choice but to follow suit bending directly over her. Heat courses through my veins at her close proximity. Being taller and larger in stature than she is, I could practically lick her shoulder from this position. Taking the opportunity to have a little fun, I whisper in her ear,“You must be an expert in telekinesis.”

“What? Why?”

“Because bent over like this, you’re making a part of me move without even touching it.And I swear to God if you rub that pretty little ass against me one more time, my dick is going to need a come-to-Jesus meeting.”

Emily snorts in front of me. “Sorry.”

“You’re so not sorry.”

“You’re right, I’m not. Welcome to my life most days Mr. Porn voice.”

“Porn voice? What?”

“That’s what I call your morning sleepy voice. It’s sexy as hell by the way.”

“Hmm. I wasn’t aware that hell was sexy, Emily.”

“Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?” She smirks looking back at me and I nearly cackle at her Batman movie reference.

“Don’t touch another man’s rhubarb,” I tell her. “But mine…”

“What?”

“Left foot, yellow!”

“Oh, God,” Emily whimpers. “Okay, I can do this.” She slides her left foot over from the green circle to the yellow one, bringing her ass up a little further in the air in front of me.

Mother fuck this view is stunning.

“I could stare at this all night.”

Em turns her head. “What?”

“Nothing.”
