“Go! Go! Go! Go!” The thunder of chants echoed through the fog
of her mind but she kept sucking at the tap.
Both hands were going numb from holding the thin rim of the keg but Angeline
needed more to drown out the noise.
Finally she signaled the two weres supporting her ankles and found
herself right side up again. The frat
house erupted in cheers and her new sisters flooded Angeline from all
sides.
“Wow, Ang, that was amazing.”
“I think it’s a new record.”
“Ang, you are unreal, girl.”
Angeline took in the praise, shook
off her conscience, and smiled at a dashing half breed across the room. She caught him eyeing her more than once
since arriving. Handsome in an
unconventional way, by no means the most attractive guy there. Angeline smiled seductively and flipped her
hair to expose the graceful slope of her neck.
Turning slightly to keep one eye on the half breed, Angeline laughed
with her sisters nonchalantly. He
continued to watch her, sipping beer from the red plastic cup, his eyes blazing
red on occasion betraying his fire sprite nature. The wild auburn hair and sharp features
suddenly made sense. Angeline worked to
refrain from licking her lips.
“Girl, that is not a good plan. He looks like he could eat you up.” Val slid up beside her and thrust a cup in
her hand.
“Val, you are incorrigible.”
Angeline took a big gulp of beer though her stomach protested.
“I can see the old Angeline coming
out and you know what that means, but promise me you will stay away from that
guy.” Val’s eyebrows knitted together in concern.
Angeline pinched her friends arm,
perhaps a bit harder than necessary.
“Now is not the time to discuss this.
You saw that keg stand; I am far from playing it safe. Risk taking abound – but that does not mean I
have to bang the half breed or anybody else for that matter.”
“Look who’s talking.” A husky voice
reverberated through the alcohol fog.
“Sort of like the pot calling the kettle black, don’t you think, fairy?”
