I kissed a girl, and I liked it

Thanks to democracy in action, all five girls ended up sampling the 96% ****.

The reactions were about what Nick expected, although the severity of the girls’ responses caught him off-guard. Knowing Dani and Marley didn’t drink very often (at least, he assumed as much going from their **** to try it) he wasn’t at all surprised that the two of them gagged and sputtered at the taste of the burning liquid just like he did.

He anticipated Carly had a bit higher tolerance, and she didn’t let him down. She did cough just like her sister, though, even if she held it in a little better.

Gina, of course, downed it like a champ. Knowing her, she probably drank this stuff for fun. She made a bit of a gagging expression, but the smile never left her face, and she was the only one who he could argue might have enjoyed the flavor.

The real shock, though, was Dakota.

Because of how gung-ho Dakota had been about everyone trying the stuff, and the general “fuck you, I’m awesome” dismissive attitude she carried herself with now, he expected her to weather things about as well as Gina had.

No, her reaction was more in line with Carly’s, or even Dani and Marley. She locked her jaw and strained her face, trying not to let the discomfort she was clearly in leak out.

She gagged a little, failing that handily.

“That stuff is still rank,” she coughed, her voice coming out like she’d just swallowed a glass of thumbtacks. “I can’t believe you can drink this shit.”

“We wouldn’t have to if you didn’t vote for it!” Dani snapped. She was seeing red, and wanted to make someone pay for the pain she’d just gone through.

“Needed a little something to loosen you ladies up,” Dakota replied with a smirk. She tossed her eyes towards Nick. “After all, a bachelor party’s no fun with a couple of squares.”

Dani’s eye twitched. “Who are you calling a square?” She demanded. “I planned this whole thing you know!”

Dakota narrowed her eyes. “Believe me. I know.”

Nick winced. Dakota was still nursing a grudge over losing out the position of best woman to Dani, huh? He’d been afraid of this. She might have agreed in the moment, but Dakota was one to bury her resentment deep down. Apparently that shot was enough to get it to surface.

“Hey, guys, let’s just all calm down, okay?” Marley stepped between the two women, trying to make peace between them. Without someone like Mary or Dawn here, it fell to her to keep everyone on their best behavior. “It’s a party! We should be celebrating!”

She looked around.

“…And besides, it wasn’t just Dakota that voted for the shots, either,” she pointed out, her eyes landing on her sister.

“I just wanted to try it,” Carly coughed, stumbling over to a bar stool to sit down. In spite of the atmosphere she gave off, she didn’t drink that often; she might not have been a teetotaler like her sister, but she couldn’t handle something that strong. “You know, just to say that I could. Don’t blame me!”

“I will absolutely blame you,” Dani said, narrowing her eyes in a glare.

“Awww…” Carly pouted a little, and batted her eyelashes. “Can’t I do anything to make it up to you, Danielle?”

A scarlet blush raced across Dani’s tan face and her mouth dropped open. The spirytus was getting to her fast, and she was having a hard time processing what she just heard. She wanted to tell Carly not to call her that, that nobody got to use that name, but the words just didn’t come out.

“Um… wh-what?” She stammered instead, feeling lightheaded.

Carly said nothing, and just gave the lesbian a saucy and suggestive wink.

Nick cleared his throat, embarrassed.

“Okay, well, we’ve all had our fun,” he said, looking at Gina’s smiling face. She seemed to be enjoying this the most. “But I think Marley’s right. We should be celebrating!”

“This is me celebrating,” Gina said, turning to the bartender. “Vodka, neat.”

Nick rolled his eyes. Yeah, well, she was a lost cause anyway.

“What’s next on the agenda, Dani?” Marley turned to the best woman. “You weren’t just planning to hang out in a bar, right?”

“Strip club!” Carly blurted out. She pumped her fists into the air like she was at a sports game. “Strip club! Strip club! Strip club!”

“It-it’s too early for that,” Dani said, fanning herself. She’d worn a nice dress for the bachelor party, one that didn’t show off her body as much as her other ones did. After all, she was just trying to be here as a friend. But it felt a lot hotter than she remembered. “There’s still some other stuff we can do, you know. Besides just drinking, I mean.”

“Lies. Hideous, scandalous lies,” Gina said, shaking her head. She downed her drink.

“I’m hungry,” Marley said suddenly, patting her stomach.

“That’s a shocker,” Dakota said, rolling her eyes. Even after Marley became fully human, her incredible appetite remained. “Fine, I suppose I could eat.”

“Whaaaat? But I want to do some more drinking!” Carly whined. “Come on, Dani, we just got here! Stay a little longer? For me?”

She stuck out her lip and batted her eyelashes, making a cute little puppydog face.

Dani turned red as a raspberry.

“That’s… I mean…” She looked helplessly at Nick, who she hoped was in a more stable sense of mind. “What does the groom want to do? It’s his night!”

Nick could eat. But at the same time, he was getting married in the morning.

Maybe the shot had affected him a little more than he’d expected, but he found himself **** for something sweeter to wipe the taste of burning lighter fluid out of his mouth.

“…I mean, Dani, it is a night for celebrating,” he pointed out. “We could have a few more drinks, it wouldn’t hurt anybody.”

“Yeah, Dani!” Carly leapt from her stool and threw her arms around the other girl’s neck. She practically hung off of her, nuzzling her cheek to cheek. “Come on! Drink with me!”

“How much did you have?!” Dani exclaimed, turning to the cosplayer in shock. “That one shot couldn’t have affected you THIS much!”

“…Well…” Carly opened her mouth to reply, but her brain wasn’t running at full speed at the moment and started to buffer.

Marley cleared her throat. “She might have done a bit of pre-gaming.”

Her sister turned and stuck her tongue out.

Dani sighed, and tried not to enjoy Carly practically dry humping her too much. “Carly… calm down, okay? You’re already really plastered, and-”

“Oh, no, believe me, this isn’t me plastered,” Carly grinned. She straightened up immediately and let go of the other girl. “I’m just getting in the right mood. I’m just a bit tipsy, that’s all.”

“I think she’s fine,” Nick volunteered. “Trust me, when Carly gets REALLY drunk, you’ll know it.”

He still remembered all the times he had to fend off her drunk advances back in college. For someone who only went there for three months or so, she’d been to a LOT of parties.

Carly giggled, bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet to make her breasts shake. “Oh, Nick… are you thinking back to old times?” She purred, sauntering over to him with a sultry walk. The fact that she could move so sensuously was a pretty good signal that she still had her faculties about her. “Maybe having a bit of regret, hmm?”

She slumped into him, pressing her boobs against his chest as her fingers crept up his shirt, playing with the ends of his collar.

“There’s still time to relive the good old days though.” Her breath tickled his face and he winced. She didn’t reek of **** like Gina often did, but her breath burned. “With a… happier ending, if you catch my drift…”

“Okay, I think you need to sit down,” Dakota said, peeling Carly off of him. “Don’t think that you need to make this some ‘last hurrah’ night, remember, just because he’s getting married doesn’t mean anything has to change.”

“Oh, something’s going to change alright,” Carly chuckled, playing with one of the silks wrapped around her. “After all… starting tomorrow he’s going to be a married man.”

She slid her tongue over her lips suggestively. “Never been with one of those before…”

“Ugh… Carly…” Marley cradled her forehead and sighed in embarrassment. Her sister couldn’t just leave well-enough alone, could she?

“I’d be down for that,” Gina grinned. “Sound good to you, Nick?” Her eyes were glued to his crotch. All this **** was loosening her up, and that familiar itch was coming back. Now that she knew what could scratch it, she was feeling like getting a little taste.

Dani shook her head. “This was a mess from the start, wasn’t it?” She weakly asked Marley. “We should have brought a squirt bottle or something to keep those two under control.”

Without someone like Mary to maintain the wholesomeness of the harem, the more seductive members were on full offensive.

But Nick would like to get through this night with his pants still on, so he made a point of turning down both of them.

“Come on, guys, I’m getting married in the morning,” he reminded them again. “Strippers are one thing, but I’m not going to sleep with anybody tonight.”

“Oooh…” Carly’s groan was so exaggerated she could have won an award for bad acting. “Well, darn then. I guess there’s nothing we can do to convince you?” She pouted.

“No,” Nick said. “Now let’s just relax and have a few drinks.”

He turned to Gina and saw the pyramid of glasses she’d been stacking up. “And you’re cut off.”

“Fine by me,” Gina shrugged, still staring at the bulge in his jeans. “The booze isn’t doing it for me anymore. I’d much rather get a taste of something with a little more… substance.”

Nick sighed. “Of course you would.”

He turned to the bartender. “Can I get a drink, please?”

It seemed counterproductive to loosen his inhibitions after making such a declaration to the girls. But he counted on Dani’s strength and moral fortitude to keep things under control. And he really needed a fricking drink to get through tonight with his sanity intact.

The faerie nodded. “What would you like?” She asked with a chipper smile.

“How about-”

“NO! No more ****!” Gina slapped the bar so hard her little tower of glasses nearly toppled over.

Nick stared at her. “Seriously?”

The nearly-topless punk shook her head. “No ****,” she sternly admonished him.

For a second, Nick almost fooled himself into thinking she was being responsible. Then she smiled suggestively and he remembered who he was dealing with.

“Can’t risk you getting whisky dick, after all,” she purred. “Momma’s gonna need her fix.”

Right. Of course.

“Oh, don’t worry about that,” Carly assured Gina, sauntering over to her with a playful expression on her face. Her cheeks were a light pink, showing that she was still rather **** even if she had her wits about her.

“Oh?” Gina glanced at Carly curiously.

“Nope,” Carly said, shaking her head. She slyly glanced over at him and smiled. “If he’s having some… performance issues… we can always step in and lend a hand, if you get my meaning…”

Gina stared blankly at her. “…What, you mean like beating him off? He’d have to get hard first for that,” she reminded the other woman.

Carly sighed and shook her head. “You’re a bit of a dumb one, aren’t you? But that’s okay… I like the dumb ones.”

Then she leaned in locked lips with Gina before the punk knew what was happening.

Dakota spit out her drink in surprise. Marley sighed and shook her head in exasperation.

And Dani’s jaw hit the floor.

Gina’s eyes widened in shock, then she closed them and sank into the kiss. Carly took this as a signal to be even more forward, nudging the girl’s legs open with her knee and planting it on the stool. Using her momentum she pushed herself even further into the other woman, pressing their breasts together as she held Gina’s head in place with one hand while fondling her ass with the other.

The kiss lasted for an uncomfortably long period of time before the two girls broke it off for air. Carly wiped the sweat from her brow and turned to see the results of her work.

Nick’s face was red. He could have looked away, but he didn’t. He watched the whole damn thing, and the straining erection in his pants was proof of it.

“That was… wow.” His brain couldn’t think of a better response in the moment.

“Looks like it worked,” Carly purred, straightening up with a proud grin on her face.

Nick couldn’t really be blamed for getting an erection, right?! After all, he’d just gotten a front-row seat for two incredibly hot half-naked women, both of which he’d slept with multiple times, making out like they wanted to tear the rest of their clothes off and bang each other right there on the bar in front of everyone!

Frankly, if he hadn’t gotten an erection, there would be reason for concern.

Dani finally found her voice.

“Carly, what-?!” She sputtered in confusion. “What even was that?! You just… I mean…!”

Just because she could talk now didn’t mean the words coming out were in any way intelligent.

“…You just kissed Gina!” She finally blurted out, like they hadn’t all seen that for themselves.

Carly blinked. “Yep,” she nodded cheerfully. “You’re not jealous are you?”

…Dani didn’t even know how to begin answering that.

“That’s… I-!” It felt like Dani’s tongue had grown too large for her mouth.

“Carly, stop teasing her!” Marley groaned. “And stop teasing Nick while you’re at it!”

“Oh, I’m not teasing him,” Carly assured her sister with a smile. “It’s more like giving him a sneak preview. What do you say, Mr. Soon-to-be-Married Man? Want a little roll in the hay with a couple sexy, hot-bodied girls doing whatever you want?”

No, Marley was right on the money. She was teasing him. She might have meant every word she said, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t teasing him.

“You think this is the first time I’ve turned down your drunken advances?” Nick asked, crossing his arms over his chest. “I’m practically a pro at this.”

Carly puffed up her cheeks and sighed. “You’re no fun, you know that? Come on Nick… that’s gotta be killing you…”

She sauntered over to him, and her fingers danced close to his pants. But before she could touch him, Dakota stepped forward and grabbed her by the wrist.

“He said to stop,” she growled, narrowing her eyes.

“Aww… jealous?” Carly giggled. “That’s so adorable.”

Yes, Dakota was jealous, but that’s not why she put a stop to this.

She dragged Carly and Gina away from Nick and glared at them both. “Can’t you two sluts keep it in your pants for ten minutes?!” She hissed, speaking softly enough where he couldn’t hear them. “This is NOT what we planned.”

The two lightheaded girls glanced at each other.

“…I thought the plan was to sleep with Nick?” Carly asked.

“Yeah, ditto,” Gina nodded.

“Okay, yes, obviously that’s the end goal here,” Dakota groaned, rolling her eyes. “But you can’t just charge at him like a wild boar! You’re going to frighten him off! You need to build up to it, get him to lower his guard, so when you spring on him, he’ll be too caught off-balance to resist!”

Carly and Gina both looked at each other.

“…Wouldn’t it be better to just go after him from the start?” Gina asked.

“Yeah, I don’t really do schemes,” Carly agreed. “I’m more of a ‘take-my-clothes-off-and-see-what-happens’ kind of girl.”

Dakota stared at the two morons with a blank look on her face.

“…And how well did that work out for you back in school?” She asked, crossing her arms over her chest. “Remember, I went to college with you guys.”

“Oh, yeah…” Carly did have vague memories of that. But they were clashing with her other memories, involving her sister. Which clashed with the original memories of what really happened.

…Which clashed with all the **** she’d had to drink, anyway, the point was that she couldn’t quite think clearly right now, but she did remember Nick turning her down a lot.

“Yeah… he said he didn’t want to bang me because I was drunk, and he didn’t want me to wake up in the morning and regret it,” she remembered. Her lips pursed into a frown. “Like I was going to care about something like that? The whole reason I GOT drunk was to give him an excuse in the first place!”

“I think Nick was the first guy I had sex with sober,” Gina cheerfully offered, as if that was some funny little joke and not a depressing cry for help.

Dakota sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. “Okay, look you two. If we’re going to make this bachelor party-”

“Orgy,” Gina corrected.

“…Whatever. If we’re gonna make this work, you bimbos need to follow my lead, got it?”

“One problem though,” Carly said, glancing over Dakota’s shoulder. “No, wait, make that two problems. Marley and Dani aren’t going to go for this.”

Dakota smiled. “Just follow my lead.”

She stepped back and raised her voice. “Oh, yeah? You think you’re the only one here who can tease Nick by making out with another girl, huh?”

“Um… what?” Carly wasn’t exactly great at improv. She was much better at looking sexy in front of a camera than actually acting.

“Uh, yeah, we can,” Gina said bluntly. She wasn’t playing along per se, she just honestly thought Dakota was full of shit. “I mean, come on, what are you going to do, kiss me next? First off, gross, we’ve known each other since we were like ten, and second off, I mean… you got that transformation, right?”

Carly nodded. She made a good point. Dakota couldn’t kiss anyone without stealing one of their transformations. And while that might be something she was willing to do, causing chaos the night before the wedding wouldn’t exactly make Nick happy.

Dakota narrowed her eyes into a smirk. Then she turned on her hip and walked over to Marley, who had been hanging out on the edge of her ten foot limit to give her sister some privacy.

The brunette flinched when Dakota approached her. Nick and Dani watched in confusion, both a little too lightheaded to realize what was about to happen.

“I’m sure you don’t mind, right?” Dakota purred. That was the only warning Marley got before the pale girl jammed her tongue down her throat.

“Whoa, damn.” Gina’s jaw dropped in surprise.

“That… does that work?” Carly wondered anxiously. “I mean, I guess she’s not a contestant anymore…”

Marley flailed around in surprise. Nick had kissed her before, but she’d never been kissed by a woman! She didn’t dislike it, but she liked Nick’s kisses much better.

Dakota pulled away, her cold breath tickling the other girl’s cheek.

“Now that’s how you catch a boy off-guard,” she giggled, and Marley didn’t know what to say.

Nick didn’t either. He’d almost had a heart attack when Dakota did that, but Carly’s prediction had been right on the money. Since Marley wasn’t technically a member of the harem anymore, Dakota’s kisses wouldn’t steal any of her transformations.

“Come ON!” Dani groaned in frustration. It wasn’t just because the bachelor party she’d planned was quickly going off the rails, either.

It just wasn’t fair! All the other girls were kissing each other, but no one was kissing her!
