"But if I knocked, you might tell me to go away," Karina said, laughing. "Soooo... a little make-up sex to get the happy group back together, huh? How sweet. Oh, Kayla, you have a visitor in the living room."
Mikayla shook her head, and walked out the door. Karina turned her attention to Kevin, who covered himself with a pillow.
"No need to hide, Kevin," she said, her tone condescending. "Don't worry. I wouldn't dare say anything to destroy your delusions of adequacy." Kevin shot her a nasty look.
AJ didn't even bother to hide his nakedness. He stared at Karina, dumbfounded by her actions. Karina glanced over and noticed AJ's eyes on her. She smiled a slow, sultry smile, her eyes falling to his crotch. She slid her pinky into her mouth a little, then raised her eyes to meet his. He rolled his eyes and began searching for his clothes.
"You really know how to ruin a party, Karina," Kevin muttered, as AJ threw him his shorts.
"Well, Kev, if you were involved, I'm sure it was an awfully short party," Karina retorted, an evil smirk on her lips. Kevin ignored the hateful comment and pulled on his shorts. He followed AJ out of the room, leaving Karina alone.

As Mikayla walked down the hall, she heard a man and woman laughing in the living room. As she entered the room, the man turned to face her, a huge smile on his face.
"Howie!" Mikayla exclaimed, running to hug him. "What are you doing here?"
"Hey sweetie," he said, hugging her tightly. "I found out everybody else was down here, and I got tired of waiting for my invitation."
"You don't need an invitation, Howard," she said, laughing. "You're always welcome. Who's your friend?" Mikayla fixed her eyes on the tall blonde with Howie. The girl stood there smiling, and Mikayla could tell instantly that she would like this one. She was so unlike Howie's usual girls... this one looked like a real person, not some over processed blow-up doll.
"I'm Beth," the girl said, "and this place is incredible!"
"I met Beth on the plane," Howie said, smiling in Beth's direction. "We had such a great time on the flight, I thought I'd invite her to hang out with us down here."
"Nice to meet you, Beth. I'm Mikayla. Do you guys need anything? A drink? Food? It's still pretty early, so if you want, I can have my chef at the restaurant whip up something nice for dinner. To tell you the truth, I'm starving, and I could use a strong drink!"
"I love this girl," Beth said, looking at Howie. "Yes, Mikayla. That would be wonderful. Bring on the food and the grown up drinks, please!"
"Well great!" Mikayla said, "Just let me get dressed and we'll go. I'll tell AJ and Kevin. I'm sure they'd love to go, too."
**************************
Mikayla went back to her room. Karina was still lounging in the middle of her bed, eating grapes out of the bowl. She closed the door behind her, then turned on Karina in a flash.
"Have you lost your fucking mind? What the hell are you doing, walking in here like you own this place? Don't you ever do that again, Karina." Mikayla was furious.
"Settle down, Kayla," Karina said, laughing. "I didn't mean to interrupt anything. Sorry. I'll knock next time, I promise."
"Why do I put up with your shit? Karina, I was having a nice evening with those two, and you ruined it."
"I'm sure you were. Listen, I said I was sorry. What more do you want me to do? Get on my knees and beg forgiveness?"
Mikayla sighed disgustedly and walked into the closet to find something to wear. She walked out with a short little flowy dress with spaghetti straps and a pair of sandals. She shed her robe, completely devoid of any modesty in front of Karina. As she dressed, she eyed Karina angrily. Karina stared back at her, a hurt look on her face.
"Kayla, I really am sorry. I didn't know you were having company tonight, or you know I never would have come over. I love you, honey. I don't want you to be mad at me," Karina said softly.
Mikayla smiled slightly, unable to stay angry with her friend for very long.
"K, you know I can't stay mad at you. You're my best friend. Just be more careful next time, OK? Now, come on. Let's go get some dinner," Mikayla said, grabbing Karina's hand and pulling her off the bed.
*********************************************************
The rest of the week went by, and was rather uneventful. Mikayla and AJ saw each other daily, but she made sure that her time was divided between him and the others. She was still feeling the sting of his betrayal, and she wasn't about to let him completely back into her heart for awhile.
One bright afternoon, Mikayla and Kendra sat on the beach together. They had become fast friends since their encounter with Kevin, and Mikayla genuinely liked the girl. Since Karina had begun to act so bizarre, Mikayla had started distancing herself from her, and she thought Kendra would make an excellent addition to her very small inner circle of friends. Kendra still felt twinges of guilt over her rendezvous with AJ, and she didn't want to piss Mikayla off by getting to close to him, so she kept her distance. Secretly, Mikayla appreciated this... The boys all seemed to really like her, which Mikayla was glad for. She had big plans for Kendra, if Kendra was willing...
"Sweetie, where do you live?" Mikayla asked, reaching over to tuck Kendra's hair behind her ear.
"Kansas. Why?"
"Just wondering. Ever considered moving to Florida?" Mikayla asked, laughing lightly.
"Not really," she answered, smiling curiously.
"Well, if you knew that you would have a great job, instant friends, and a cool place to live, would you consider it?" Mikayla asked, her eyes serious.
"I don't know... I guess so. Why are you asking?"
"How would you like to come live in Tampa? You could work for me," Mikayla said, turning to face her.
"What would I be doing?"
"Oh, whatever you want. I own a lot of stuff. Or you could just be my assistant. I'm demanding, but I'm a good boss," she said, smiling.
"Sooo, basically, you'd be my sugar mama?" Kendra said, laughing.
"Well, if you want to think of it that way, I guess you could. I like you. I just don't want you to go back to Kansas and never see all of us again. The boys like you, and Karina... well, Karina would like you if she still had her mind. I don't know what's come over her lately. Anyway... I want you to be close to me," Mikayla said, joining in the laughter.
"Can I think about it?" Kendra said, turning serious for a second.
"Sure. Just let me know. I'll be leaving in two days. A few more things to consider, though. If you do decide to come with me, I have some rules. First of all, you will have to have complete discretion. You can't tell anyone anything you see or hear. That's a big thing with me. Nobody needs to know my business. Also, if you choose to be my assistant, you are on call 24 hours a day. If I need you, you have to be there."
Kendra nodded, and looked back out at the sea, contemplating her future...
Nick sauntered over and sat down by Mikayla. He had a little smile on his face, but he said nothing.
"Nick, you look like the cat who just ate the canary," Mikayla said, looking over the top of her sunglasses at him. "What are you up to?"
He just shook his head and continued to smile.
"Nick..." she said, scolding. "You know I don't like secrets. What are you up to?"
"Nothing," he said. "I was just watching you two and I got an idea, that's all."
"And that idea would be?" she said, knowing full well what his idea would be. She could read him like a book. She always had been able to tell exactly what he was thinking.
"I thought maybe you two might want to... oh, I don't know... join me for dinner and drinks tonight," he said, slyly.
"Nicky, it's not your birthday, baby," Mikayla said, laughing. Inside her mind, though, the wheels began to turn. This could be an opportunity...
"I'll tell ya what, Nick, ask Kendra verrrry nicely and see what she says. If it's OK with her, I'll be there..." Mikayla said, running her fingernail up Nick's arm and giving him a slow smirk. Nick's eyes brightened immediately as he hopped out of his chair and walked on his knees over to Kendra. He ran his hands up her inner thighs and spread her legs, easing his body between them. His blue eyes sparkled with mischief as he smiled a sexy half-smile at her. She reached up and pushed a strand of blonde hair off of his forehead as she smiled back.
"Yes?" she asked. "Is there something you wanted?"
"Uh-huh," he responded, nodding his head.
*******************************************************
That evening, AJ sat alone in his room, watching television. Mikayla had informed him that she had plans, and that she wouldn't be available that night. He had knots in his stomach when he realized that she would most likely be with someone else. He flipped through the channels, never stopping long enough to see what was on... his mind was elsewhere. He heard a knock at the door, and waited for Nick to answer it. The knocking persisted, and AJ went to see who it was. He glanced in Nick's room and saw that he wasn't there. When he opened the front door, there stood Karina... with a bottle of Jack Daniels.
"Hey AJ," she said, leaning against the door frame. He stood staring silently at her. "Can I come in?"
"Why?" he asked, crossing his arms across his chest. Karina could see the muscles in his shoulders tensing as he eyed her suspiciously.
"Oh, I don't know. I just thought since we both got shafted tonight, we might as well have a few drinks together."
"Oh, so Nick's doing his own thing tonight, huh?" AJ asked, laughing.
"Um, you could say that. Actually, he's doing his own thing with Mikayla... and that girl, Kendra," Karina said, smirking.
AJ looked down at the ground, stunned. He had no idea. He stepped back and let Karina brush by him on her way inside. He closed the door behind her and made his way into the living room. Karina walked over to the bar and picked up two shot glasses, then set them down on the coffee table in front of AJ. She handed him the bottle of whiskey. He looked at the bottle, he looked at Karina. He thought for awhile about what he should do. He promised her he wouldn't drink anymore... but staring at that dark liquid, he felt more temptation than he had ever felt in his life. It had been five days since he had anything to drink, and his body was craving it badly. He looked at Karina as he twisted open the bottle and poured some in one of the glasses. He slid the glass over to her and sat back on the couch with the bottle in his hand, his other arm draped over his eyes. Karina slowly picked up her glass and waited to see what he would do. Without a word, he brought the bottle up to his lips and took a long sip. Karina smiled as she drank the contents of her glass. She moved around the table and knelt between AJ's legs. He kept his arm over his face as she began to kiss his neck. Her hands fumbled with the button on his shorts. He allowed her to pull his shorts down, and she began to stroke his cock. It quickly sprang to attention, and she began to lick his shaft. As her mouth moved up and down, giving him an incredible blowjob, he never once looked at her, or even touched her. As he reached his climax and emptied his load into her mouth, she quickly swallowed every drop, a self-satisfied smile crossing her face. She moved up his body and straddled his lap.
"So... care to return the favor?" she purred, into his ear. He finally opened his eyes and looked at her. He grabbed her around the waist and kissed her roughly, forcing her body down onto the floor. He reached under her dress and tore off her panties, thrusting his still-hard cock into her in one stroke. She cried out, clawing at his back. The sex was frenzied and animalistic. Karina brought her legs up and draped them over AJ's shoulders as he thrust into her body with all the strength he had. Both of them were moaning and growling loudly. Within minutes, Karina dug her claws into AJ's shoulder, screaming his name as she came. AJ reached another climax very soon after, then collapsed in a hot, sweaty heap on top of her body. She ran her nails softly up and down his back until his breathing returned to normal. He pushed himself up and off of her, then sat up on his knees. He buried his face in his hands and shook his head.
"That was wrong, Karina. I mean, really, really wrong," he said.
"No it wasn't. It was really, really naughty, and it was really, really incredible. But wrong? Nah, I don't think so."
AJ stood up and buttoned his shorts, then walked into the bathroom. Karina heard the shower start, and she stood up, straightening her clothes. She took one more drink from the bottle of whiskey and walked out the front door.
AJ stood under the shower, turning the water as hot as he could stand it. He had to wash HER off of his body...
