“Wantone?”Jadenasks, holding up a beer.

“Yup,”Isay, popping the p.Thecool liquid soothes my throat asIsettle deeper into the couch.

Grimmlights up his blunt and inhales.Thesound of it burning crackles in the air as the tip turns a bright red.Handingthe blunt over to me,Idecide to take it.Hiseyebrows raise as if he wasn't expecting that.Idon’t typically smoke, but it’s been a long fucking year.Ideserve a break, andI’mstill waiting for some peace and quiet to take a decent nap.Iinhale the thick smoke and let it fill my lungs.Itburns in my airway, andIstart coughing while he lets out a hardy laugh.

Theblunt goes around the group as everyone takes a hit.Wecontinue tossing back beers, talking about what a fucking year it’s been and all the fucked up shit we’ve seen.Themore alcohol and marijuana that enter our bloodstreams, the more relaxed we all become.

Twoblunts and more than a handful of beers later, we are well and thoroughly crossed.Ihave a big goofy grin on my face that looks exactly like the oneGrimmusually wears.NowIget why it makes a constant appearance.Pullingout my phone,Isee it’s late.It'seven later inNewYork, whereBlairis, soIknow she won't see my message, butItext her anyway.

Me: Little obsession, I miss you.

Me: I want to eat your pussy.

Istare at my phone, urging a response to show up even thoughIknow it won't.She’sprobably sleeping.IknewIshould have installed cameras in her bedroom at home.Mygut twists at not being able to see her.Iquickly move over to the location app and peek at it.Thelittle dot indicating she's safe, at her childhood home.BeforeIcan let myself start to spiral with all the possibilities,Eli'svoice steals my attention.

“Iwant to get my nipples pierced,” he deadpans.Asmall smirk lifts on his lips regardless of the void of emotion in his tone.Hepicks up his phone, seemingly forgetting the words spoken to all of us, gaining our attention, and looks down at the message he just received.

Iwatch in confusion as his eyebrows pull down and something crosses over his features other than the indifference that always blankets his face.It'sgone as fast as it came as he pockets his phone and looks back up at us.

“Areyou guys in?”

Shakingmy head to clear my confusionIspeak, “Yeah,I’mgonna get my dick pierced.”

Theroom goes silent as the guys look at me.Eachof them is staring at me as ifI'vegrown another head.Mybig toothy grin falters asIstare back at them “What?Iheard it feels really good for the girl.Ilike hearingBlairscream.”Isay while shrugging my shoulders.Ifshe likes it,Idon’t care what they think.

Grimmchuckles, “Youfreaky little fucks.I’mnot piercing anything, butI’llget a tattoo.Ihave an idea in mind.”

Elicontacts the tattoo guy to see if he’ll drop by for a house call, mainly because there's no way any of us can drive.Heheads back into the room and waves his phone.

“Johnis on his way,”Elinotifies us.Wedrink a few more beers while we wait for him to show up.

Weare passedtipsy and thoroughly stoned by the timeEli’sguy shows up.Hewalks through the door with bags in each arm.Haltingin his tracks, he takes all of us in.

“Goddamnidiots,” he laughs while shaking his head, making his way over to us.

Myphone vibrates andIstare at the message left for me.Myfilthy little obsession wants to play.

Blair: If you miss me, then you’ll visit me in my sleep. Maybe even taste me. (;

Ilock the screen and reach down to adjust my quickly hardened length.Shemight have meant in her dreams, as in actual dreams, butI’mgoing to believe she wants me to sneak into her bedroom and part her pretty thighs while she sleeps and shove my tongue deep inside her cunt. “Fuck.”

ForgettingthatI’mnot alone, all heads, along with a pillow, whip in my direction.

“Emmetttuck your fucking dick away.You’regoing to makeJohnthink you’re really excited for this piercing.”Grimmlaughs.Shakingmy head,Ireach down and adjust myself.Blairjust sealed her fate and she doesn't even know.

Droppinghis bags to the ground, he claps his hands together and then rubs his palms. “Alrightyou fuckers, who’s up first?”

Elirises and reaches his arm over his shoulder and to his back, gripping his shirt to yank it off.

“Me.Iwant my nipples pierced.”Hesits back down on the couch whileJohngrabs the items he needs and brings it over to him.

Elidoesn't flinch asJohnclamps his nipple and pushes a needle through it.Thewhole ordeal is done within minutes.Hechecks them out in a mirror, nodding his head nonchalantly.

“Niceman, thanks,”Elisays, dabbing him up.

Grimmstands and walks to whereEliwas sitting. “I’mnext!Idrew something up,” he tellsJohn.

“Whenthe hell did you do that?We’vebeen here fucking around the whole time?”Jadenasks.
