In The Wolves Den

A few hours later, Kenny was in the midst of breaking down the last of the cardboard boxes that Quinn and Juliet brought while the girls were sorting their belongings into a few areas and, for the time being, stuffing most of it into the closets, "That should probably do, for now, we can actually put all this away tomorrow morning once the girls and Kenny go," Juliet huffed with a little wipe of her brow,

"Yeah, we have the important stuff in their spots, our beds are made, and we have enough space for everyone now." Quinn agreed, tossing a few of her pillows onto the bed and allowing herself to crash down into it, "Fuck, this thing is pretty comfortable," The redhead mewed with a stretch, "Ken," The teen glanced over to Quinn and watched her give the edge of the bed a few pats, "Check it out,"

"Oh, uh, I..." Kenny took a half step forward before hesitating as Juliet gave him a sideways look. With an immediate pivot, Kenny instead to Juliet's bed and pressed his hand into the soft mattress, "Yeah, Quinn, there are pretty great. Luckily you two didn't end up sleeping on some thick, busted, crappy ones," Quinn pursed her lips, gave her eyes a roll, and sarcastically hummed in agreement.

"I guess so," Quinn sprang back to her feet, resting her hands on her slim hips, "Julie, you sure we have to have everyone over all night? The more I'm thinking about this sleepover, the more bogus it feels. I'm sure we'd have more fun if it were just us, you know? You, me, and Kenny have done it before!"

Juliet crossed her arms and gave her friend a dismissive shake of her head, "Quinny, come on, don't be like that." Quinn's eyes diverted, and she let out an irritated click of her tongue, "I know things with you and Ellie are awkward right now, but try to remember that she was your friend too. And beyond that, we'll have Tessa and Nikki over too, so it's not even like you really have to interact with her,"

"I'd prefer none of them..." Quinn muttered under her breath, and she really meant it. Being trapped in a room with Kenny and Juliet was rough enough; not being able to really talk to him, touch him, be touched by him; was already awful. Now she had to deal with seeing Nicole and Ellie, both of whom she knew were having sex with him, and then Tessa, the new girl Juliet was trying to push onto him. However, Quinn was already reminding herself of one big thing; she knew she was the better choice for Kenny at the end of the day anyway, so try as these girls might, they weren't going to beat her.

With that thought rallying her mind, Quinn smirked, "Yeah, yeah, I know. It just feels weird, I don't think Will would appreciate it too much, but I guess the less he knows, the better,"

"Exactly," Juliet agreed with a grin, "That's gonna be part of college for you, remember, no more control?"

Quinn blew out a long exhale, "Here's hoping,"

Just then, the trio heard a knock on the door, and Juliet quickly ran over, pulling the door open, finding both Ellie and Nicole at the door. "Delivery service, did someone order some fun in a bottle?" Nicole lifted her hands, showing off a case of beer and a bottle of liquor.

"That didn't take long; I wish I could say I was surprised," Juliet joked as Nicole let herself in. "Where's Tess?"

"She's right behind us," Ellie assured, "I'm really happy that we found some time for this; I haven't felt like I've spent nearly enough time with you over the summer," The blonde warmly said to Juliet as she too entered the dorm room.

"I was thinking the same thing; this will be a fun night! Even if we do have a guy lingering around," Kenny gave his eyes a slow roll at Juliet's teasing, "Well, I guess we can all just...chill out on the floor for now? Sorry, the couch I'm taking isn't gonna be here for another few days,"

"No worries, as long as we're all having fun together with a few drinks, who cares! Ken, heads up," Nicole cheerfully grabbed a beer and tossed it over to the teen who just barely caught it. The redhead then turned to Quinn and grabbed another drink, "You too, grumpy, you definitely need a drink,"

Quinn lifted a hand and caught her drink, "Grumpy? I'm not grumpy; I'm totally cool; let's have some fun," Quinn casually cracked open her drink, but Nicole had a smug smile as she watched her chugging half of it immediately, ending with a loud, calmed exhale, "So, what should we do?"

Fifteen minutes later, the group of teens were comfortably spread out in a circle in the center of the room. A mixture of snacks and drinks were in the center of the group, and chatter and giggles filled the room, coming from everyone but Kenny. The teen was just about in a cold sweat; his eyes were jumping from Nicole, Quinn, and Ellie every time one even started to open their mouths. It was one thing to be handling things one at a time, but to have all of them in the same room with Juliet as well, was a real terror. He could sense Quinn's anger, Ellie's frustration, and Nicole's want to play with the situation; he just hoped nothing was going to bring everything out into the open.

Thankfully, Kenny wasn't the topic of discussion so far, "So go on, gush a little; I've known the guy for years too; I'm curious how you nailed him down!" Nicole grinned as she pour Juliet a shot and passed it over to the brunette,

"She has a point; you didn't really tell me too much of what happened between you and JJ," Quinn agreed with a low hum,

"It's nothing to really tell," Juliet waved off, "I think we both always just...felt something; we never acted on it before this summer, is all. A cup of coffee turned into dinner, which turned into..."

"Hardcore fucking," Nicole grinned.

Juliet blushed hard and quickly swallowed her drink while Ellie rolled her eyes, "That aside, I think it's very sweet that you found someone like JJ for yourself. Having someone you knows cares and values you is everything," The blonde wholeheartedly stated and gave Kenny a short glance. Come on, Ken; we've gotten better since everything with Will now. This weekend admit it, please, you want to be with me.

Kenny nervously sipped his beer and looked away; this interaction was caught by Quinn, "Well, don't forget what you offer JJ, Julie." Quinn quickly added, "Passion, love; it only works when it's given on both sides, as I'm sure you know," The redhead finished with a confident eye landing on Kenny as well. Fuck this shit; by the end of this weekend, you are mine. No more waiting or thinking; we both know we're meant to be together, Kenny!

"That and mind-blowing sex," Nicole tacked on in the next breath, "Gotta put him into a coma, you know what I'm saying?" Nicole gave Kenny a wink. And I think we both know where you get the most of that, don't you, Clark?

"Thank you all very much! Now maybe let's move onto a new topic that isn't about me and JJ?!" Juliet exclaimed, her entire face as red as a prune, "Particularly something that Kenny won't have to cringe over!"

The girls all broke into a short laugh, their eyes giving quick glances at the teen who stared down at his can, sipping on his beer, unable to bring himself to look up and catch one of their gazes. It was at this moment that Tessa finally entered the dorm, and the brunette did it in a huff, barging into the room and slamming it shut behind her, "Ugh! I am so mad right now!"

"Whoa, what happened?" Ellie immediately asked her older sister, who approached the group,

"Scootch over," Tessa waved at Ellie, who shifted over a few feet, letting Tessa take her spot, which was direct across from Kenny, "Sorry I took so long, but I got trapped, but some douchebag in the hallway who wouldn't leave me alone! He just kept flirting with me and wouldn't take the hint!"

"Seriously?" Kenny frowned, "Did you know who it was?"

"No idea, some upperclassman from Dartwin, fucking creep," Tessa replied, giving a little shudder, "He actually tried to cup my cheek while talking to me, as if he was some suave hunk."

"Gross, what a fucking loser," Nicole tossed Tessa a drink,

"Seriously, I'd have kicked his ass," Quinn agreed,

"Give us all a few minutes and a few more drinks, and we can go hunt him down," Juliet lightheartedly suggested with a grin, "He can be known as the senior who got beat up by a bunch of freshman girls,"

The group shared a laugh, and Tessa sighed, "Thanks, but if I end up needing to leave the room tonight, I'll take the muscle sitting across from me," Tessa warmly smiled towards Kenny, who all but flinched, "No way anyone would mess with me with him wrapped around my arm," Kenny nervously cleared his throat, but Tessa didn't waver from her apparent gaze on him. You might be messing around with Mimi, but I'm not backing down. I'm not going to let her get yet another guy; this time, I get the boy. You're mine.

Hours later, Kenny lay on the floor staring up at the ceiling; a finished bottle of liquor and a dozen of empty beer cans and snack bags dotted the floor. Juliet and Quinn were fast asleep in their beds while Nicole was a few feet to his right, Ellie a few feet to his left, and Tessa directly above him. The teenager was beyond grateful that the night went quiet, no one broke out into any fights, but he couldn't help but continue to stress over his situation all the more now. Even with making some progress into lowering the group of girls he was actively involved with, it still wasn't that much better, and worse yet, he was now at a point where obvious choices were no longer available.

Juliet and Bella, that was easy. I couldn't be with my cousin, and I wasn't about to start dating a girl like Bella...even if I could have, I still don't totally know how she felt about me. Thank God... Kenny let out a low sigh and lifted his hand, putting up one finger at a time. Quinn...Nicole...Ellie...Tessa...who do I pick? I can't keep putting it off. I have to pick...I have to...Fuck. Kenny let out a low groan and laid an arm over his eyes. They are all amazing; I love being with each and every one of them. How am I supposed to just tell three of them, thanks but no thanks? That'll crush them! But I can't keep stringing them all along! "This is impossible," He whispered under his breath, his voice completely defeated.

"What's got your head in such a twist this late?" Kenny suddenly heard a whisper in his ear, causing him to instantly sit up and spin around, just barely able to control a scream of surprised terror. Looking over, he found a red-cheeked, snickering Tessa lying on her stomach, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you so bad,"

"It's okay, it's --" Kenny rested a hand over his pounding heart and slowly let himself lay back down. Tessa scooted forward, getting as closer to Kenny as she could, and rested her elbows on her pillow. "You just startled me; I thought you were asleep."

"Haven't been able to fall asleep at all; I think I'm having trouble sleeping near you," She coyly suggested with a molasses-slow roll of her eyes, "I can hear you thinking and agonizing over here. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing...the floor's uncomfortable, and the drinks make me reflective," Kenny deflected, shutting his eyes, "Let's just try to get a few hours of sleep in," Tessa pushed her lips out, anxiously giving her foot a quick few shakes as she stared down at Kenny. At once, Tessa gave herself a little push, following the liquid courage in her body, and brought her head right over Kenny's. "T-Tess?" Kenny hissed as he opened his eyes and found the girl upside down, lips hovering right over his,

"Ssh," Tessa very softly hushed and lowered down, connecting in a slow and heavy kiss. Kenny's brow jumped as Tessa very boldly ran with her confidence, letting her tongue slide into his mouth, swirling it around with his tongue, and letting out very soft panting moans through their breaks. It didn't take very long for Kenny's eyes to drift shut and his focus to go solely on returning the passion-filled kiss with the brunette. After close to a minute, Tessa broke away with low, shaky huffs, "Surprised?" She asked with just a hint of nervousness.

"Clearly," Kenny's mixture of teasing and sarcasm helped keep Tessa balanced and not get overwhelmed by her nerves like usual,

Tessa bit down on her smiling lower lip, "I was waiting for this moment with you, and it's going exactly how I wanted,"

Kenny tilted his head, and he slowly rolled over on his stomach. "You've been giving it a lot of thought?"

Tessa nodded, "Yep, we didn't really talk much after...our date together last time,"

Kenny's face tightened, and he let out a low growl, "Damn it, I'm sorry about that; I should have --"

"No, Ken, really, it's okay. I get it; things come up, and we get busy." Tessa immediately waved off his worry, and Kenny had to admit he was surprised by how genuinely honest she sounded, "However...since that night with you, I've been really...struggling..."

"Struggling? With what?" Tessa rolled in her lips and smoothly lifted herself up until she was up on her knees, looking down at the teen.

"With my thoughts about you, about how much I loved what we did together...about what else I want us to do together," With the only light in the room coming from the window, Kenny struggled to see much everything, but he could certainly make out Tessa's figure moving even closer to him, and her crotch ended up right in a beam of the dim light, "So, I have you to thank for this," Tessa pulled the side of her black booty shorts and panties to the side, revealing her bare cunt that glistened in the moonlight, "Are you going to take responsibility for it?"

Kenny swallowed hard, "Tess, not that I don't want to, but with everyone else in the room..."

"Come on, if you're really sorry about not talking much, consider this a chance to make it up to me," Tessa softly giggled, using her two fingers to spread her pussy open, and the intoxicating scent filled Kenny's nose, "You don't have to do much...your tongue will be perfect."

"But if someone wakes up..." Kenny all but winced, "Your moaning could --"

Tessa clicked her tongue, "I didn't want to play this card, but I can promise you that I'll be very quiet while you do this compared..." She sat back and smoothly took off her shorts and panties, positioning herself only a few feet away from Kenny's face, "To the loud moaning, I'll do if you don't." She gave the teen a little devious grin and stuck her tongue out at him, "Come on now, please, just for a little bit? I'm really horny, Ken, and I can't stop thinking about you."

Kenny sighed and gave his head a small shake, "So that's what it feels like to be on the receiving end of this," Kenny lowly chuckled, unable to not make some comparisons to the many instances with the other girls in the room, especially Ellie. "Fine, but seriously, we gotta be quiet,"

"Totally, I can do that," Tessa giddily agreed and spread her legs wide while Kenny crawled forward, pressing his face between them.
