Uncharted: Beth's Temptation

You are BETH, a 20 year old university footballer from Exeter. You’re a petite, sporty brunette who is always in a cheerful mood. Other people are always impressed with your positive energy. Your dreams of professional football were getting off to a pretty good start when you were invited to a mysterious, international football camp in Florida. You were planning to train all summer anyway, so you went ahead and took the opportunity.

There, after only a few days, you walked in on something that you didn’t expect: you saw another girl from camp who had a penis. Her name was Riley. She was an athletic redhead, and a rising star in her own country. But she was also incredibly horny, and a total **** to her penis. Fascinated and turned on, you got to know her, and soon you were in a passionate relationship that evolved into a messy, but incredible swinging habit. You and Riley hooked up with lots of girls together and made some amazing memories.

Then your good friend also showed up at camp: Lara. You had known her for years, but never that she had a penis as well. She’d hidden that from you. Actually, a lot of girls at this camp had those… but anyway, it turned out that the camp wasn’t a camp: it was a pilot program for a reality TV show called FUTA, which pitted teams of girls against each other in football and other activities.

Early in the pre-pilot season, after some strange things happened, you gave into temptation and allowed Lara into your bed with Riley for a wild three-way. You wanted to see your old friend and your girlfriend in action.

But… after that, things slowed down. See, you and Riley were not on the same team in FUTA, but Lara was on Riley’s team. You and Riley were rarely able to see each other as the season progressed. You were just a player, but Riley was the captain of her team, so she has been incredibly busy these past few weeks. You haven’t gotten to spend much time together.

Now the first season has wrapped. It was a big success, and it should be awesome… but there’s a little hitch.

Your family wants you to come home. You tell her that. You’re standing on the path in the middle of camp. It’s sunny… everyone is relieved that they got through the first season in one piece, so there’s positive vibes everywhere.

Riley stands in front of you, wearing her usual workout clothes, her red hair in a ponytail. She’s holding your hands, and she doesn’t look happy. That’s not a good sign. You just asked her to come to England with you. She should be happy.

Her face falls, and she looks away, squeezing your hands.

“What’s wrong?” Does she need to see her family? But her sister literally works at the camp, and her mother has been coming to all the matches. Not her dad, though. You aren’t sure what’s going on with that.

“Annette’s asked me to do a promotional tour,” she says, referring to the woman who is running this whole thing. Annette is the big boss over FUTA. “We’re all doing it,” she adds apologetically. “We have to. It’s in the contract.”

Oh… her contract must be different from yours because she’s a captain. All the captains are doing it?

“We leave today,” she says.

It really hurts. She’s obviously upset about it too, but at the moment you’re too mad to care. It feels like it’s just a few minutes later that you’re watching her get into a limo with the other captains. She waves her family, then she waves to you.

You wave back, pretending to smile. You deliberately held off on making your travel plans because you thought you would be making them with her. Now you’re stuck at camp until you can figure out what you want to do and buy a plane ticket.

You find yourself sulking with a cup of tea at the Lodge, a nice hotel-like building in the woods outside of camp, looking at plane tickets and stuff on your phone. Your family is on a cruise right now, so even if you fly straight home… there won’t be anyone there.

Riley’s already texting you. You ignore her and sip your tea, wishing it was a real drink. You remember clumsily fooling around with her, taking her virginity… it was really exciting. You even had some cute underwear ready, but she wanted to run off with the other captains.

Now you’re thinking about the other captains, specifically Adella. Adella is like Riley, but even hornier, and she has a thing for redheads. All season, she has complimented Riley in this flirty way. You thought that was just because they were rivals, but now you’re worried.

You hear footsteps and turn around to see someone coming down the steps. It’s Lara with her battered duffel bag over her shoulder.

She stops, looking surprised to see you. “Beth? Why are you still here?”

“I’m stranded,” you reply.

“What?” She comes down and makes her way over, resting her duffel on the back of the sofa. “You OK?”

“I’m fine.”

“Where’s Riley?”

“Gone off with the captains.”

“What?”

“They’ve gone,” you say, waving your hand. “Publicity tour.”

Lara winces. “God.”

“Yeah.”

“You going home, then?”

You just put your head back and moan. “Dunno. Mum’s on a cruise. It’s an empty house. For a week.”

Lara looks sympathetic. Then she perches next to her bag. “You could come with me. I have room for you.”

You short. Lara lives in like a big mansion. You’ve never been there, but you’ve seen pictures. It’s huge. She has room for her whole team.

You look up at her. She never acted like it when you were friends before this camp, but ever since she came here, she’s constantly tried to flirt with you. And you did get drunk and give in that one time for that very athletic, very sticky threesome with her and Riley.

“You’re joking,” you say.

“No, I’m serious. You shouldn’t have to be alone.”

“Riley and I are vanilla now,” you tell her. “I won’t sleep with you.”

“I’m hurt,” Lara says, laying her hand on her breast. “We’ve been friends a long time, Beth. Long before I ever…” she trails off.

“Ever what?” you ask dryly.

“Fucked you ‘til you screamed and then put a thousand gallons of babies in you,” Lara says with a smile and a shrug.

You laugh. “I didn’t scream. You screamed getting it from Riley.”

“No, that was you.”

“You’re raving,” you say, waving your hand.

“Come on. There’s still seats on my flight. Come enjoy the country until your mum comes back. By then Riley won’t be able to do without you. She’ll be on a plane and you’ll be introducing her to your mum, and your mum’ll be making her sleep in the guest room. It’ll be lovely,” Lara says, rubbing your back.

You look at her, then at your phone. Your girlfriend isn’t here, and your family isn’t at home. Your best friend, Duni, has gone home to see her family. Anything’s better than sitting here and feeling sorry for yourself.

“All right,” you say, standing up. Lara immediately slips her arm around your waist.

“Perfect,” she says.

You push her off and give her a look. “No funny business.”

“Wouldn’t dream of it,” she assures you.
