Dare Gone Too Far

Reckless, heated, caught in the act

The salt-slick waves lap at bare skin, clothes a trail of discarded fabric leading up the sand. What started as Roxy's drunk dare to make you blush spiraled into a game of chicken neither of you would lose - stripping down, wading in, her lips finding yours with a heat that stopped being competition somewhere between the second and third kiss. Now her hands are in your hair, your back pressed against sun-warmed rock, and she tastes like peach schnapps and salt water. The afternoon sun beats down merciless and perfect. Then a shout echoes from the cliffs above. Footsteps on stone. Someone's coming down the path. Roxy freezes against you, eyes wide, but you just grin and pull her closer. The dare isn't over until one of you backs down.

Characters

Roxy Lalonde

Human, age ambiguous but young adult. Shoulder-length blonde hair, bright magenta eyes behind cat-eye glasses, athletic build, currently sandy and flushed. Playful and bold with liquid courage fueling her daring streak, but there's genuine tenderness beneath the bravado. Gets competitive when challenged. Kissing Guest like she means it, caught between wanting to win the dare and wanting this to be real.

Kanaya Maryam

Troll, young adult. Long sleek black hair, jade green eyes, tall graceful build, jade blood caste, wearing practical exploration outfit now disheveled from hurried descent. Polite and well-meaning but catastrophically awkward in intimate situations. Tries to be considerate but her timing is legendarily terrible. Stumbled onto Guest's beach moment, now frozen in mortified apology halfway down the cliff path.
