Nick Carter swore loudly as he placed his three of hearts on the table. Across from him AJ McLean grinned as his ten of spades landed him yet another victory. “Language” he chided, and chuckled when Nick stuck out his tongue in return.
“This game is boring” Howie Dorough complained, and moved to toss all of his cards on the table.
“You only say that cause you haven’t won once” AJ stated, and moved his hand out so he could stop Howie from giving up.
They had been bored, extremely bored. That was when Nick had come up with a game. They mixed two decks of cards, and then divided them into three equal parts. Each of them got a part, and then one at a time they put the top card down on the table. Whoever had the highest card would win, and then they would start all over again. The cards had to be turned and shuffled so they had no idea which card they would turn.
It had been a fun game to play for the first hour or so, but now it was getting boring again, so they argued and threw remarks in each others faces just to keep the game interesting.
“How about we up the stakes a bit” AJ asked, as his three of diamonds lost to Howies seven of spades. Nick grinned, and slammed a queen of hearts on the table. “I’m good with that” he said, and looked at Howie.
Howie looked from Nick’s smiling face to AJ’s smirking one, and then sighed. “I’m in” he said, and places a king of clubs on the table.
“Looser kisses the winner on the cheek” AJ said as he placed a nine of diamonds on the table. Nick grimaced as his two of clubs landed him the spot as looser. Leaning in he placed quick and soft kiss on Howie’s cheek.
“I get to pick this time” he said, and AJ nodded in agreement. A few seconds later, Nick was proclaimed winner, and as per his own instructions, had to lick AJ’s neck. Howie grinned and produced his camera phone, ready to take a picture next time.
“Looser gives the one in the middle a hickey” AJ said with a smirk, and placed his jack of hearts on the table. “Damn you” Howie mumbled as his three of clubs looked like it would be giving him the looser spot.
Nick was already lifting his chin getting ready for Howie to give him a hickey as his two of hearts landed on the table. “Fuck!” he said, throwing his hands out. “Those cards hate me dude” he said in AJ’s direction, as he moved closer to Howie.
“Get your neck over here” he said, and grabbed a hold of Howie’s shoulder. Howie reluctantly allowed himself to be moved closer to Nick, and moved his head a little to give the blonde better access.
Absently noticing that AJ had taken his camera phone and was currently filming them, he tried to still his sharp intake of breath as Nicks lips closed in on his neck, and his tongue darted out to almost suckle on his skin.
He didn’t know how long it lasted, probably not long as all, but when it was over and Nick moved away, he had to get a strong mental hold on himself to stop his arms from moving to hold on to Nick.
Nick grinned at him, and turned his head as if to admire his work. Looking at AJ he noticed that he was still filming, and his mouth was half open.
“Same as before” Howie said, hoping none of the other two had noticed the slight shake in his voice. His ten of hearts looked like it might land him the winning spot, but somewhere inside he felt disappointed, because he had wanted to be in the middle again, so that lovely feeling would return.
“This should be interesting” Nick said, as his six of hearts landed him as either the one giving the hickey, or the one receiving it. Either way this looked like it would turn out to be quite a lot of fun.
“Bring those lips over here” AJ said as he showed them both his seven of diamonds. Nick grinned and complied, and half a minute later, AJ had the same somewhat glazed look in his eyes that Howie had. “Damn” AJ whispered, and let his fingers run over his neck in the exact spot where Nick’s lips had been only seconds before.
Half an hour later they were all looking slightly flushed, and each had at least two hickeys appearing on their neck. They had upped the stakes the past few rounds, as they were all running out of cards. Currently Nick was french kissing Howie, and Howie did not look at all like he had a problem with it. What was supposed to be a ten second kiss had turned into a minute one, and yet another ten seconds passed before they broke apart.
“Holy” Nick said with a grin, and took a deep breath as he looked from Howie to AJ. “Yeah. Holy..” Howie replied, a little out of breath. “How about some more uppings of the stakes” AJ asked, his hand resting over his last card.
“I’m in” Howie said, and looked over at Nick. “Me too” Nick replied, and then looked at AJ again. “You wanna decide this one?” he asked, and AJ nodded. “I got the perfect one”, he said, and let a huge smirk come over his face.
“How about the looser has to sped the night with the winner, and do whatever he wants. And the one in the middle can come too, but he’s not allowed to do anything but watch!”
The room went silent for a few seconds, as Nick and Howie looked from each other to AJ. Then Nick nodded, and took a deep breath. “Okey dokey, let’s play”. Howie nodded as well, and turned his card first. He let out a somewhat hysterical laughter as the queen of clubs stared back at him.
Nick scowled at him, and then held his breath as he turned his card. “Oh Fuck!” he exclaimed as he saw his nine of hearts. “Well, it all comes down to whatever you have” he said with a grin, and looked at AJ.
Taking his time AJ looked from Nick to Howie before he turned his card without looking at it. The reactions he saw told him all he needed to know.
Nick started laughing like a maniac, and then stopped as suddenly as he had started. Two seconds later he was looking AJ directly into the eyes and biting his bottom lip. Howie was clutching his head and muttering something about quitting while he could and why did this always happen to him.
Looking down on his card AJ smirked. Looking back up at him was the highest card in the entire game, as had been established right in the beginning when they had started to play.
Thanks to this card, he would finally get both Nick and Howie into his bed. And maybe sometime during the night Howie would be tired of watching and decide to join them, game rules or no game rules.
He grinned as he got up, and left his winning card lying on top of the others at the table, waiting for Nick and Howie to get up and follow him. With one last glance at the card they followed.
On top of a queen of clubs and nine of heart it laid, the winning card, the ace of spades.
FIN.
