Your Biggest Mistake-Chase and Anna...

[Chase Firebrand]

Chase looked at Anna as though surprised to find her beside him. Then he looked back at Michael, silently verifying that it was true for both of them. He brought Michael's hand to his lips, all his old boundaries, old barriers forgotten for everything that had happened, everything that still hovered between them. "Tell me it was worth it," he murmured, the sparks in his eyes demanding and luring all at once. He wouldn't let this go for anything.

A tingle shot from the tips of his fingers where they touched Chase's lips all the way to the tips of his toes and back up to the top of his head. Michael smiled. "Every second," he said softly, eyes gleaming as the memory slowly started to take over. The hand that had been under Anna's head snaked its way to Chase, lightly touching his jawline.

Anna watched, mistified that they were completely ignoring the fact that she was there. She had been part of this too, and didn't understand how she was suddenly the third wheel. Her eyes began to fill as she watched the expression on Michael's face, completely for Chase. The happiness she'd felt moments ago fled as she faced the possibility of loosing not only her long-term boyfriend, but their new lover as well. She couldn't take it any more. Sitting up suddenly, she broke the contact Michael's arm reaching over her had on Chase. She got to her feet, unable to stop the tears as she frantically tried to find her clothes in the mess. "I....I....I..." She tried to speak, but failed, unsure even of what she could possibly say to express the hurt she felt.

"We don't need her," Chase murmured, trying to draw Michael's attention away from Anna. He shifted, closing the space between them, no thought of pretense in his mind. "I know what you want, and I know things you've never dreamed of." He'd use his experience if it got him what he wanted, another chance to sate his newfound curiosity, without the distraction of a third party. Was it them? Or was it just the entire circumstance? He needed to know. He could get girls any time he wanted. This was what he wanted now.

Michael looked up, sitting up halfway, "Anna..." he said, his eyebrows coming together as he was finally able to break eye contact with Chase. But with the new nearness of Chase's warm body, his attention refocused on him. Something tugged in the back of his mind that he should be standing up, holding Anna, stroking her hair and telling her that it would all be alright. But there was the sensation of Chase and he couldn't resist, the curiosity pulling him towards the other guy and making him lightly meet his lips, uncertain but interested in what could come from it.

Anna's head shot up to Michael when he sincerely called out her name. But when it turned out to be so she would witness them kissing, she lost it. She finished dressing by pulling her top closed, and picked up her shoes. The combination of hurt and confusion turned to rage. Her shoes were hurled at their heads with satisfying thuds. Moments later she blasted the door open, wishing that she could have had the courage to hex the boys instead of the innocent piece of wood. Without a look back, she fled to the nearest lavatory.

It was the thud of a well-placed shoe to the head that brought reality crashing down. What in hell was going on here? Chase scrambled to his feet, eyes scanning the room until he found what he was looking for. The calender.
