A soft kiss on the base of my neck causes a shiver to run down my spine. “No, Cupcake,youturn me on. Seeing your arse run through the mazes, your cheeks flushed from the chase and the excitement in your eyes…thatturns me on.”
I cup his face, bringing my lips to his, swiping my tongue against his. His fingers dig into my arse, lifting me higher up his body. Instantly, I wrap my legs around him, rubbing myself against him, moaning.
He groans against my mouth, pressing his lips harder against mine. My fingers run through his hair, wanting him, needing him.
“Please enter your next mission. It’s a game of survival, may the best warrior win.”
I pull away from CJ, staring into his dilated eyes, pouting. “I didn’t get to kill any zombies.”
He chuckles, letting me fall down his body. “I got a few on my way to find you.”
I tap his chest, kissing him quickly on the lips. “You’re the best boyfriend, but when we walk into that room, you’re on your own.”
He lifts an eyebrow, smirking at me.
Ah, those dimples.
“Cupcake, are you saying you’re going to kill me?”
I give him a coy look. “Yes. Yes I am.”
He laughs and walks us towards the next door. I don’t get a chance to search for Willow because the bloke starts talking.
“Pick a door. When you enter, remember: you’re on your own. Good luck.”
“He makes it sound like we’re going to war,” the girl next to us says, clearly not enjoying her time here. Ian and his friends, however, are high off adrenaline. They haven’t stopped bouncing around since we walked up, their hands twitching on their guns.
“I’ll—” I start to say, but when I turn to glance at CJ, he’s gone. I shake my head when I see he’s already in front of his door, gun up and ready, before he’s off.
Smiling to myself, I move to my own door, also lifting my gun and moving through. All around me are walls of boxes, so from that, I take it it’s a maze, one I’m going to get lost in. I know it. I went into the maze at Adventure Wonderland and got so lost I had to ask kids half my age for directions.
It was a defining moment.
A few seconds in, and zombies come in from all sides. I scream and start shooting along with them, grateful none of them managed to hit me before coming out of the hallway, before moving into another, this one narrow with other paths leading off.
I keep moving, finding it hard to breathe. I feel a little trapped, but I’m not going to let that stop me from winning this. If CJ wins I’ll never hear the end of it. We’re always arguing over what would be best if there was ever a zombie outbreak. I still think my idea is better.
A girl from the other group comes running around the corner, and I shoot, hiding my laugh when she lifts her head up from the floor in shock. I quickly move down the next path before she can see me.
Another zombie moves around the corner, and when they see me, they lift their gun. I shoot first, giggling as I keep moving.
I hear a loud howl in the distance, sounding an awful lot like CJ. I stop and tilt my head up, since it sounded like it was coming from above. Not seeing anything, I keep going, moving down the hallway until I get to the next, shooting zombies along the way.
Another howl.
I glance around as I run out of another hallway, coming to the centre of the room. In the middle is a stage, boxes, and fake bodies littered around it.
What has me pausing is CJ, who is standing on top of the walls they’ve used to make the maze. He’s howling, shooting at everything and everyone he sees.
He looks kind of deranged. The weirdo.
His back is to me, which makes me smile as I move slowly into the circle, wanting to get to the table. If I can get to that table, I’ll be able to aim my gun better to shoot him. I also need to be closer for the laser to work.
The first step up I take, he spins around, grinning when he spots me. I’d been so occupied on getting to the table that I forgot to have my gun ready. He aims, he shoots, he hits me.
I groan, covering my face at losing to him.
His boisterous laugh echoes around the room. “Am I not king?” he shouts, throwing his hands up in the air. He jumps down from the wall with such grace my eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.
