McKenzie couldn’t help but smile as she watched Lexi’s eyes roam over her, that slow, thoughtful look making her heart skip. Hearing Lexi say she felt like the luckiest girl in the world because of her? That hit deep. She loved how gentle Lexi was when she brushed her hair back, like they could share a quiet, perfect moment amid the chaos of the party. When Lexi raised her eyebrow and teased about finding a room, McKenzie laughed softly, shaking her head. McKenzie’s lips curled into a sly, confident smile as she met Lexi’s gaze, eyes sparkling with mischief. “I can’t behave,” she said, voice low and teasing, letting the words hang between them like a delicious secret. She stepped closer, brushing a stray lock of hair from Lexi’s face, her touch gentle but charged. “Not with you. I can’t be tamed,” she whispered, the promise in her tone impossible to ignore. As Lexi leaned in, their lips nearly brushing, McKenzie felt that familiar rush—the heat, the spark that always left her breathless. She bit back a smile, matching Lexi’s intensity. “Thought you might be” she murmured, slipping her hand into Lexi’s as they started toward the staircase. Then Lexi stopped, that smirk lighting up her face, and McKenzie raised a brow, accepting the challenge without hesitation. With a confident smirk, McKenzie tightened her grip on Lexi’s hand. “Challenge accepted." Leading the way upstairs, McKenzie felt every step charged with playful confidence and the thrill of what was about to come. McKenzie didn’t hesitate as she wove through the crowded house, ignoring the curious glances from party guests. With a confident flick of her wrist, she gently but firmly pulled Lexi along, their hands intertwined like a secret no one else needed to know. Guests parted silently, sensing the unspoken command in McKenzie’s stride, watching as the two slipped past with that magnetic energy that made it clear: they were in their own world. Without a second thought, McKenzie led Lexi straight to the host’s parents’ bedroom, the door swinging open at her touch. She didn’t bother to lock it behind them, just shut it, too wrapped up in Lexi to care about who might wander in. The room was theirs for the taking. Turning to Lexi, McKenzie’s voice dropped to a sultry command, eyes locking with hers. “Go sit on the edge of the bed.”

in their relationship they had all kinds of moments, but lexi’s personal favorites happened at parties—when they were just alone in the middle of everyone else, being themselves as alcohol filled their systems in the best way possible. that didn’t mean she didn’t enjoy the rest of her time with mckenzie—she would never dare think badly about any moment they shared. she loved the brunette more than anything in this world. "i have seen you, and i keep looking at you," she mused, eyes dropping as she gave her a slow once-over, "and i keep thinking i’m the luckiest girl in the world," she added. she loved the way mckenzie reacted to her favorite pet name for her, her gaze locked on her as she gently brushed her hair back. "finding a room?" she raised her eyebrows, "why would i ask you to behave? if i ever ask you to behave, please slap me," she nodded with a grin, "i like how much of a tease you are too much to ask you to play the good girl," she pointed out. as she leaned in so close, lips practically brushing hers, lexi felt her thoughts completely scatter, which was rare for someone who always had something to say. she bit her lip at the mention of the bedroom, of staying there. she sighed, "i’m so down," she assured, reaching for her hand as they started toward the staircase—but then she stopped, smirked, and turned to look at mckenzie. "no, you’re going to do it. you’re going to take me to the room. you’re the one painting the picture, the one making me weak in the knees just by talking about a fucking bed—so you do the honors, take me to a room and fuck me," she winked playfully, "if you can take the challenge?"

[mckenzie-monroe]

McKenzie loved the way Lexi played with fire like she didn’t know she could get burned. That smirk? It made her pulse skip a beat, maybe two. But McKenzie was never the type to back down—especially not when things got deliciously complicated. She leaned in just enough, her lips brushing against Lexi’s cheek without quite landing. “You would be stupid,” she murmured with a coy glint in her eyes, "I mean have you seen me?" The word “babygirl” still rang in her ears, and damn if they didn’t make her want to melt right into Lexi’s arms—or climb on top of her lap and show her exactly what “dripping at this party” looked like. But McKenzie was a little more wicked than that. She liked the tease. Liked the way Lexi squirmed, like her self-control was hanging on by a thread. She tilted her head, hair brushing over her shoulder like a well-practiced threat. “Leave? No way. This fun's just beginning. We could find a room somewhere, or if we stay out here, you better not beg me to behave.” She smirked, playful and hungry, like she already knew the answer. “So, what’s it gonna be?” Her lips hovered dangerously close to Lexi’s, breath warm and intoxicating. “You know…” she started, her eyes flicking toward the house like she was already imagining it, “the parents’ room is probably the best room in the house.” She let the words hang there, sultry and suggestive. “The one with the biggest bed…” she bit her bottom lip and tilted her head, as if painting a picture just for Lexi. “The most comfortable blankets… fluffed up pillows…” She looked back at Lexi then, eyes smoldering, lips parted just slightly like a dare about to be spoken. Her voice dropped to a whisper only the two of them could hear, thick with heat and promise. “You down?”

if lexi was honest, she would’ve waited for mckenzie forever. it was sad, maybe even pathetic—maybe she would’ve never seen her best friend as something more, maybe she would’ve just followed mckenzie around like a lost puppy until the end. whenever she hooked up with people—older women, mostly—it wasn’t just for fun, it was to hide what she really felt for her best friend. but it had worked, somehow. she ended up with the prettiest and most amazing girlfriend she could’ve ever imagined. when mckenzie asked if she still wanted her, lexi smirked, giving her a slow once-over before answering, “i’d be stupid if i said i don’t want you.” then added, “not being able to stop? i’d never ask you to stop, babygirl.” she smirked again—they both knew how to play this teasing game. lexi loved it, the way they’d try to push each other, tease each other, always trying to get a reaction. “you’re lucky to have me then,” she whispered as she felt mckenzie’s nose brush hers. she wanted to kiss her—right there, right then—pull her close by the waist and close the gap, but she needed to know what mckenzie had in mind. and when she spoke, lexi had to bite down on her lower lip just to stop her jaw from hitting the floor. “then i definitely want to see your game,” she smiled. “but stop being a tease—are we leaving, or are you gonna have me dripping at this party? either way, it’s your call, you’re the one who wants to show off.”

[mckenzie-monroe]

Mckenzie wasn’t used to wanting someone like this—needing them in the quiet, relentless, aching way she needed Lexi. It wasn’t just about how good they were together, how natural every moment felt. It was the way Lexi looked at her, even now, like she was something worth waiting for. And Lexi had waited. Through every uncertain moment, every shift in their friendship, every unspoken feeling that Mckenzie had taken too long to understand—Lexi had been there. Never pushing. Never demanding. Just... waiting. And somehow, she’d still ended up being the one Mckenzie wanted most. Now, watching Lexi melt beneath a single smirk of hers, Mckenzie felt that rush of boldness she didn’t usually let herself indulge. There was something electric in the air between them tonight, something teasing and slow-burning, and Mckenzie was done playing shy. So she said it. “I want you.” And Lexi’s reaction didn’t disappoint. That little shiver—she caught it. The way Lexi raised her brows, amused but already breathless, lips tugging into a playful smile that made Mckenzie feel like the room had narrowed to just the two of them. She smirked wider, taking a step closer, deliberate, eyes locked on Lexi’s. “You really want me to?” she asked, her voice dipped low, coaxing. “Might not be able to stop once I start.” Mckenzie let out a low laugh, eyes flicking down to Lexi’s mouth before returning to her gaze. “Yeah?” she said, stepping into her space fully now. “Guess I should verify that statement for myself.” God, she was killing her. Mckenzie’s breath hitched—just a little—but her grin stayed sharp. “Is that so?” she murmured. “Then I guess I might have a sweet tooth tonight.” Mckenzie tilted her head, close enough now that their noses almost brushed, her voice low and steady. “Yeah... but in this game nobody can lose." Then, softer, like a promise: “And when I’m done with you, you won’t want to win anyway. And everything I know about pleasing girls?" Mckenzie said with a sly grin, voice dipped in playful confidence. "Let’s just say I had the worlds best teacher."

lexi remembered talking to willow about how she felt for her best friend—she was pretty sure her sister had been annoyed by how much she talked about her. but one of the main things willow had told her was to just be there for her in case mckenzie ever realized she liked her back. it might’ve never happened, but lexi had waited, and she would’ve kept waiting until her best friend found someone who truly deserved her. luckily, she’d been the one mckenzie fell for too. if mckenzie had ever fallen for someone else, lexi wouldn’t have been mad, just heartbroken—but still there, still waiting. she didn’t care about sleeping around anymore, not when all she wanted was her. everything between them felt so easy, so natural, like being around each other was the most comforting thing in the world. seeing her girlfriend smirk made lexi raise her brows, amused and already melting inside. and then mckenzie told her she wanted her—and lexi felt a shiver run down her spine in the best way possible. the confidence, the way she was being playful, it was completely undoing her. “oh, please show me,” she teased, a soft smile tugging at her lips. “i’m a bad girl, but a really good kisser, just so you know.” she smirked, leaning in a little closer. “and i can be the best dessert.” her voice dropped, a hint of challenge behind her eyes. “baby girl, just remember, two can play this game.”

[mckenzie-monroe]

McKenzie had never been good at letting people in. She wasn’t cold—just cautious. Guarded. She’d spent too long building walls out of disappointment and second guesses. But somehow, Lexi had slipped past all of it without ever asking for permission. Lexi knowing exactly when McKenzie needed space and exactly when she needed to be held. It was in the way Lexi knew her. All of her. Even back when they were “just friends,” Lexi had been paying attention, carrying pieces of McKenzie around like sacred things. But now? Now that the friendship had bloomed into something deeper, something real and wide-open, it felt like McKenzie was finally breathing right for the first time. Her ex had never seen her like this. Had never even tried. McKenzie couldn’t help the smile tugging at her lips. That wink? That playful, smug confidence? It made her heart ache in the best way. Because Lexi wasn’t just playing at love—she was showing it, living it, every second they were together. The teasing came naturally between them, but the tenderness always lived right underneath it. The way Lexi’s eyes lit up when McKenzie teased about dessert made her feel like she was the center of her universe. And maybe, just maybe, she was. McKenzie just bit back a smirk, tilting her head like she knew exactly what she was doing. McKenzie’s smirk deepened at Lexi’s words, a slow, knowing thing that said she knew exactly what she was doing to her. She didn’t even have to try—just the way Lexi looked at her was enough to send a spark dancing up her spine. “You’re not the only one who wants someone, you know,” she said, voice barely above a whisper. “But I like hearing you say it.” She reached out, fingertips brushing along Lexi’s wrist, slow and intentional. “So don’t hide it,” she added, leaning in close enough to feel her breath. “Let me show you."

lexi had always read mckenzie like an open book—one she’d memorized by heart. every little quirk, every favorite thing, the exact way she liked her coffee or which flowers made her smile without fail—lexi had it all tucked away in her mind like little treasures. it wasn’t even something she’d done intentionally at first. they were just friends back then, but even then, she was already paying attention, already caring more than she’d admit. now? she was head over heels, and the fact that she got to love mckenzie out loud made her feel like the luckiest girl in the world. she knew her ex could never measure up. he hadn’t seen mckenzie the way lexi did—hadn’t adored her the way she deserved to be adored. lexi made it her mission to treat her like royalty every day, to remind her she was worth every ounce of love and then some. "of course i do," lexi said with a grin, the pride in her voice unmistakable. "we’ve been friends forever... and more than that for a while now." her wink was shameless, flirty, and a little bit smug. she knew she was winning at this girlfriend thing, and honestly? she loved that. “you don’t have to worry,” she added quickly, her tone turning soft even beneath the teasing. “i’m not going anywhere. apocalypse or not, you’re stuck with me.” she pulled mckenzie in close like she was gravity, like it was the most natural thing in the world—and it was. she was addicted to the way the other felt in her arms. “oh, you wanna start with dessert?” lexi smirked, eyes dancing with mischief. “i’m the meal now?” her tone was playful, teasing, but the warmth in her gaze gave her away—she was gone for her. completely. watching mckenzie step back, all confident and pretty, lexi just stood there for a beat, her breath caught like she was seeing her for the first time all over again. then, without hesitation, she followed. she always would. “of course i’m following,” she said, falling into step behind her. “how could i not?” at her girlfriend’s smirk, lexi’s lips curled right back. “are you enjoying how bad i want you?” she echoed, low and teasing, leaning in with a smirk of her own. “because i do. and i don’t plan on hiding it.”

[mckenzie-monroe]

McKenzie couldn’t help the soft chuckle that escaped her as Lexi teased her. There was something about the way Lexi could so effortlessly read her, about how she always seemed to know exactly what to say to make McKenzie smile. It was one of the many things McKenzie loved about her—how, even without trying, Lexi always knew how to make her feel seen. She nodded in acknowledgment, a playful glint in her eyes. “Yeah, you do,” McKenzie agreed, a small grin forming on her lips. “You know me better than anyone.” The warmth she felt inside when Lexi joked with her, or when she kissed her cheek, was something McKenzie cherished deeply. It wasn’t just passion—it was something more, something real. She couldn’t help but feel the pull of that love every time Lexi made her laugh or said something sweet and teasing. "And, yeah, if I didn't have you, I’m not sure who would get me." Lexi’s ability to read her was both endearing and comforting. It made McKenzie feel like no matter what, she always had someone who understood her. There was no need for words sometimes—just the way Lexi looked at her, the way they could tease each other without the need for anything more. When Lexi pulled her closer, that familiar warmth settled inside McKenzie again. She felt the shift in energy as Lexi made her flirty comment, and the smile that spread across McKenzie’s face mirrored the one on Lexi’s. “Hmm, pizza sounds good, but I think I’d rather have my girlfriend,” McKenzie teased back, her tone filled with affection and playful mischief. She leaned in close, her lips hovering near Lexi’s ear as she whispered with a playful tone, “I think you’re more my kind of ‘meal’ anyways." McKenzie couldn’t help but smirk as she felt the playful energy between them build. With a confident step back, she started to walk away, her eyes locking with Lexi’s as her grin widened. Her fingers brushed along Lexi’s as she took a step back, her body language teasing and full of confidence. “You coming, or...?” she asked, her voice light but laced with a hint of challenge. She didn’t wait for an immediate response, her pace slow and teasing, her gaze flickering over her shoulder as she walked backward, all while keeping that mischievous smile firmly in place. There was something thrilling about this—being the one to pull away just a little, to make Lexi chase after her. McKenzie knew how to make a game out of the simplest things, and right now, she was loving how Lexi was looking at her, clearly intrigued.

one thing lexi was proud of was that she knew her girlfriend. they started dating a while after they became friends—way too long for lexi’s taste—but at that point, mckenzie was dating someone. she wasn’t going to step into that relationship, even if he was an asshole and she knew she would’ve treated her best friend way better. "i do, don't i?" she smiled. "i know what you like, what you hate… what you love—me, for example," she teased, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "of course, if your girlfriend doesn’t get you, who will, huh?" she grinned. there was always this soft feeling that washed over her when mckenzie did something as simple as kissing her cheek. there was a hint of playfulness, but those little kisses made lexi feel warm and happy, like a reminder that what they had wasn’t just passion—they truly loved each other. "of course you do, i know how you smile every time," she nodded, knowing she had studied mckenzie, memorized every little reaction. she loved the way the other responded to those nicknames, and she loved being the one to say them. "as i said, if your girlfriend doesn’t get you, who will?" she repeated with a knowing look. everything lexi wanted in life was right in front of her. she had grown up in a warm, caring household, she had always gotten what she wanted, but the only thing she truly needed now was mckenzie by her side—she was the one who made her happy. as the brunette pulled her close, a smirk tugged at lexi’s lips. at her flirty comment, she couldn’t help the way a smile spread across her face. "you mean something like pizza… or more like your girlfriend?" she teased, tilting her head just slightly, eyes filled with mischief.

[mckenzie-monroe]

McKenzie couldn't help but smile as she listened to Lexi. Every time they were together, it felt like the world just stopped, leaving only the two of them. The chemistry between them was electric, undeniable. Since they had taken their friendship to a deeper level, McKenzie couldn't stop thinking about her, and it felt like no one else even compared. "You really know me too well," McKenzie replied, her eyes sparkling with affection. "But I don't mind at all. It's nice knowing someone gets me like you do." Her lips curled into a playful grin as she teased back, leaning in just enough to kiss Lexi's cheek before pulling away slightly. When Lexi continued with that teasing confession, McKenzie’s grin grew. "I do love when you call me baby girl" she said, her tone playful but with a hint of sincerity. She softened the moment Lexi pressed a kiss against her jaw. She couldn't pretend like the other girl didn't have an impact on her almost every thought nowadays. As they shared this moment, McKenzie couldn't help but feel completely at ease with Lexi. They had built something real, something unshakable, and McKenzie was certain that they were always going to have each other’s backs, no matter what. It wasn’t just love—it was understanding, support, and laughter wrapped up into one perfect package. She smiled softly as Lexi spoke, feeling the warmth of their bond grow even stronger. "You always know how to make me smile," McKenzie said, her tone light but filled with affection. "You really are the hottest thing around, you know?" She grinned, brushing her fingers against Lexi’s waist, pulling her in closer. "And I wouldn’t want to be with anyone else but you." McKenzie glanced over her shoulder with a mischievous smile, her hand trailing behind her as she started to walk away. “I could eat,” she teased playfully, her voice full of flirtation. She gave Lexi a wink, knowing that a little bit of teasing always kept things exciting.

whenever mckenzie was around, lexi couldn’t think about anything else. their chemistry was unlike anything she had ever felt before. she had been with plenty of girls in the past, never caring whether she saw them again, but when she confessed her feelings to her best friend and she agreed to start something with her, she knew they were going to be the best couple. they were there for each other, and that wasn’t going to change. "i know i will, i'm really good at reading you," she smiled, looking down at the brunette. "don't worry about it, i'll get it back, no matter what," she promised with a smirk. "oh, don’t use my words, i said it first—just enjoy it," she whispered playfully before pressing her lips against hers. hearing her girlfriend’s playful confession, imagining something hot, made her smile. "of course, don’t forget i know you too well," she grinned, "just like i know how much you like when i call you babygirl," she smirked, kissing her jaw teasingly. "admit it, your knees weaken every time," she whispered against her skin before pulling away just to tease her. at her words, lexi smiled—she hadn’t been able to think about anything but her either. that’s how she had felt since the moment they met. from the very first conversation, mckenzie had been stuck in her mind. she knew every detail about her, what she liked, what she hated. it felt good knowing she had the same effect on her girlfriend. it wasn’t surprising, she knew they loved each other just as much, but hearing her say it out loud made lexi’s heart race. "don’t feel sorry about it, just tell me what you were thinking," she grinned. "i can keep a secret," she promised with a smirk. "i am irresistible," she nodded, "but so is my girlfriend—the baddest bitch i’ve ever seen and the hottest one," she smiled, her hands trailing down mckenzie’s body just enough to squeeze her ass. "i'll control myself for now," she promised, pulling away. "so, what does my girl want to do now? drink some more? go back to your place? because i am not dealing with my dad while i’m drunk. or do you wanna eat something?"

[mckenzie-monroe]

McKenzie felt a rush of warmth as Lexi’s playful energy filled the air around them. She loved these moments—how easy it was to slip into their banter, to tease each other and revel in the chemistry that seemed to hum between them like a constant undercurrent. There was something so perfect about it, something that made her feel like the world outside didn’t matter, that nothing could touch them when they were like this. This felt real compared to everything int he past. When Lexi called her "baby girl," McKenzie felt a little flutter in her chest, the words holding a playful edge that always seemed to ignite something inside her. "Mmm, I’m sure you’ll find it," she teased back, her voice dripping with mischief as her lips curled into that familiar, sly smirk. She was used to the way Lexi could make her feel like they were the only two people in the room, and the power of those little pet names never seemed to lose their magic. McKenzie raised an eyebrow as Lexi claimed she’d take her title back, a soft chuckle escaping her. "Oh, you’ll have to try a lot harder than that," she shot back, the playful competition between them lighting up her eyes. It was these moments—the back and forth, the playful teasing—that made her feel so alive. It wasn’t just about the words; it was the connection, the way they could joke and flirt and still know that everything between them was rooted in something deeper. And then, when Lexi pulled her closer, McKenzie melted into her touch. The way Lexi's arms wrapped around her neck, drawing her in so effortlessly, made everything else fade. She whispered back, a soft, almost reverent smile on her lips. "You're the snack, Lex." The kiss that followed was slow, tender, and McKenzie felt her heart race as they shared that intimate moment, so full of love and undeniable attraction. When Lexi pulled back, a smirk danced on her lips again. McKenzie’s eyes twinkled as she leaned in a little closer, her voice soft but playful. "I think you did, Lexi," she said, her smile widening. "You’ve definitely got me thinking... in ways I might not have planned." There was something so intoxicating about the way they could both tease each other—no barriers, no holds barred. Just them, wrapped up in each other, and McKenzie wouldn’t have had it any other way. "I've never not had a straight thought about you since the moment you told me you liked me," McKenzie teased back, her voice full of affection but with a hint of mischief. "Honestly," she continued with a smirk, "I’ve been thinking about you way more than I probably should, and I’m not even sorry about it." Her fingers brushed lightly against Lexi’s arm, the touch soft but full of intent. "Guess you’re just that irresistible."

lexi adored these moments with mckenzie. the playful banter, the teasing, and the undeniable chemistry between them made everything feel effortless. it was their world, and no one else could ruin that. “yes, baby girl, i just need to find that challenge,” she teased, her voice laced with mischief, a smirk tugging at the corners of her lips. calling mckenzie by those pet names always gave her a little rush of happiness. when mckenzie declared herself the biggest tease, lexi chuckled, shaking her head. “i’ll make sure to take my title back, just don’t get used to it,” she shot back, still smirking, but her eyes were playful, loving the little competition between them. she let out a soft laugh as mckenzie commented on her "kinky" words, her hand going to her lips as she bit her nail in mock contemplation. “it’s not my fault my girlfriend looks like a snack,” lexi shrugged nonchalantly, though there was that mischievous glint in her eyes. as mckenzie pulled her closer, lexi’s arms wrapped around her neck, pulling her even tighter, her body melting into the embrace. “you’re my every last gay thought, you’re right,” she whispered, before leaning in slowly, pressing her lips against mckenzie’s. pulling back just slightly, she smirked again. “now admit it. as kinky as it was, i managed to make you imagine it. did i make you not think straight?” she teased, her eyes dancing with amusement.

[mckenzie-monroe]

Mckenzie couldn't help but smile at Lexi's teasing words, a soft laugh escaping her lips. The way Lexi flirted with her, so effortlessly, always put a spark in her chest. There was no doubt in her mind that they had something special, and that made everything—being at a party, joking around, whatever they were doing—feel even more fun. "Is that so?" Mckenzie smirked, leaning in a little closer to Lexi with a playful glint in her eyes. The way Lexi always tried to throw the attention back on her, claiming Mckenzie was the "hot one"—it was something they did often, back and forth—but Mckenzie wasn’t just about looks. Lexi made her feel seen in a way no one else had. That warmth and connection between them were everything. As Lexi laughed and tossed her hands in defeat, Mckenzie’s smile softened. "You’re not the biggest tease anymore, huh?" she said, leaning back slightly and raising an eyebrow. She raised her fist in the air taking the new title. When Lexi joked about putting her fingers in her mouth, Mckenzie laughed along, keeping the mood light. "Well, it’s a good thing we’re in a dirty party then, huh That's pretty kinky, Lex," she teased, poking fun but always keeping it easygoing. Mckenzie’s tone shifted slightly as she pulled Lexi in closer, looking at her with affection. "You've never been able to think straight though. I'm your every last gay thought."

lexi had always loved partying, if she was honest. she thought it was fun—dancing without a care, drinking, and hanging out with her friends. but going to parties with mckenzie as her girlfriend? that was even better. she loved being close to her, their arms always wrapped around each other. it was the best feeling, and if she was really honest, she loved how great it felt knowing everyone could see the gorgeous brunette was hers. no one needed to be flirting with mckenzie, not when lexi was right there. "i can keep up; you just need to find a challenge that’s actually worth it," she teased, sticking her tongue out at her girlfriend. they could go back and forth all night about who was the "hot one," always insisting it was the other. but for lexi, mckenzie wasn’t just hot—she was the most amazing girlfriend she could’ve ever asked for. she was more than just stunning; she had the prettiest soul, and lexi wasn’t about to mess things up like she had back at university, ghosting people and ruining good things with older women she shouldn’t have been with. "of course i’m good," lexi smirked as her girlfriend finally closed the distance between them. but when mckenzie pulled back, clearly thinking she’d teased her enough, lexi wasn’t ready for it to be over—because, well, it was enough to get to her. "how else?" lexi asked, raising an eyebrow, her mind totally blank. maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was just being around mckenzie, but any idea she had disappeared. "honestly, i feel like i’d shamelessly put your fingers in my mouth, but god knows what you’ve touched at this dirty party," she laughed, throwing her head back. "just take the title already; i’m not the biggest tease anymore," she said, raising her hands in defeat. "you make me nervous; i can’t think straight!"

[mckenzie-monroe]

McKenzie could feel the heat building between them as Lexi pulled her closer, her playful words making her heart race. She always loved the way Lexi’s presence had this magnetic pull, how just being near her could make everything else fade away. But now, with Lexi as her girlfriend, it felt even more electric—more real. She was no longer just spending time with her best friend at a party, she was with someone who meant so much more, and McKenzie couldn’t get enough of it. "You think so, huh?" McKenzie smirked, her hands on Lexi’s waist as she felt her girlfriend's arms slide around her neck. She loved the closeness, the easy way they fit together. "Alright, let’s see if you can keep up, babe," she teased back, her voice full of affection, though she knew full well how hard it would be to stay steady with Lexi this close. The playful back-and-forth between them made McKenzie’s pulse quicken, but it was also comforting. It was them, and that felt like everything. McKenzie couldn’t help but smile, loving the way she could have that effect on her. "You're the hot one," McKenzie whispered, her voice soft but full of warmth. She loved how easily Lexi could make her heart race, how much power she held over McKenzie without even trying. She didn’t need to hear anything else; those three words were enough to make her feel like she was exactly where she needed to be. "I love you too," McKenzie whispered back, her smile genuine, full of affection. When Lexi leaned in to brush her lips against McKenzie’s, she could see the playful glint in her eyes. She felt that familiar rush of excitement—Lexi was always keeping things interesting. "You’re good at teasing, I’ll give you that," McKenzie grinned, her voice full of challenge. "But I’m no slouch myself." With that, she leaned in, closing the distance and giving Lexi the kiss they both had been waiting for. She pulled back, satisfied. "How else can you tease? I might be up for the challenge."

lexi had always loved parties—drinking, dancing, laughing with friends. but maybe it wasn’t the parties themselves she liked so much; maybe it was because she always went with mckenzie. maybe what she really loved was spending time with the brunette. but now, things were different. now, she wasn’t just here with mckenzie as a friend—she was here with her girlfriend. and she was loving every second of their relationship. “i can keep up with you, babygirl, i know i can,” she mused playfully, her nose nudging mckenzie’s as she pulled her closer. she loved the way mckenzie’s arms felt wrapped around her waist, and instinctively, her own arms slid around her girlfriend’s neck. “oh wow, look at me,” she chuckled. “i’m the best,” she added with a proud grin tugging at the corners of her lips. “you can try to make me lose my balance, but i know how to keep myself steady,” she teased, knowing full well it was impossible to stay composed with mckenzie this close. her breath hitched as her girlfriend kissed the side of her neck. “i’m cute? you’re the cute one—if you think that’s working,” lexi said, trying to sound unaffected. it was totally working. for a second, she forgot how to breathe, especially as mckenzie’s hand started to roam downward. lexi gently cupped her girlfriend’s cheeks, tilting her head to make mckenzie look at her. “i love you,” she whispered with a soft smile. leaning in, she brushed her lips against mckenzie’s but didn’t kiss her fully. “but i’m really good at this teasing game,” she added, a playful sparkle in her eye.

Mckenzie swayed slightly as she leaned against the bar, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she watched Lexi with that familiar playful smirk of hers. She couldn't help but laugh at how naturally they fell into this easy rhythm together. "Oh, I have no problem with that," McKenzie teased, leaning in a little closer, her voice light but carrying a hint of flirtation. "I’m just wondering if you would be able keep up with me." As Lexi pulled her into an embrace, McKenzie’s breath caught for a moment, her heart racing a little faster than usual. The closeness, the warmth, it was all a little intoxicating. McKenzie slid her arms around Lexi’s waist, holding her tight as she tilted her head back just enough to meet Lexi’s eyes. "A solid ten out of ten stars, Lex." She leaned in closer, her lips brushing against Lexi’s ear as she whispered, "But I’m not one to back down from a challenge. You think you can make me weak in the knees? I’ll show you just how good I am at making you lose your balance." With a gentle laugh, she pressed a light, flirty kiss to the side of Lexi’s neck, just a quick peck that was filled with affection. The kiss was tender, unhurried, like a quiet moment of connection between the two of them. Pulling back slightly, McKenzie rested her chin on Lexi’s shoulder, enjoying the simplicity of the moment. “You’re so cute,” she murmured, her voice soft but playful. Another brief kiss followed, a little more teasing this time, as McKenzie nuzzled her cheek against Lexi’s neck, enjoying the closeness. Her hands roaming downwards.

lexi never planned on telling mckenzie how she felt—it just happened. needing a date for a Christmas party, mckenzie had agreed, and one conversation had led to another. Before she knew it, they were dating. It wasn’t something lexi had expected to happen so soon after her breakup, but somehow, it worked. They clicked, as if tied by an invisible string neither of them could see but both felt. “i am,” lexi said with a playful smirk. “hope you don’t have a problem with that,” she added, chuckling. it wasn’t her first time taking a tequila shot that way. someone had shown her the move at a party before, and pulling it off with mckenzie seemed like the perfect opportunity for some harmless fun. she removed the lime peel from her mouth as gracefully as she could, dropping it into the shot glass to toss later. “what can i say? i’m really good at getting drunk,” she joked, setting the glass on a nearby table. before mckenzie could say anything, lexi’s arms wrapped snugly around her girlfriend, pulling her closer. “how many stars do i get after that performance?” lexi teased, her eyes gleaming mischievously. she leaned in, her voice dropping into a challenge. “maybe you can try to beat me. who knows—maybe you’ll be the one to make my knees weak.”

mckenzie was nervous about getting into another relationship following the first one failing to do anything than make her lose the confidence and spark that she use to have a couple of years ago. yet, somehow, lexi made her realise not everything had to be bad in life. she could be in a happy relationship with someone that actually cared enough about her to check in and ask her how she was feeling. mckenzie's eyes rolled playfully as lexi mentioned that the lime wasn't exactly what she wanted to taste tonight. "you're such a flirt, lex." she watched as lexi licked the line of salt from the back of her hand, swallowed down the shot in one go , and then hooked her fingers into mckenzie's waistband to pull her in close to take the lime before wrapping her arms around her to keep her close once she was finished. she wrapped her own arms around the back of lexi's neck in return. mckenzie could still taste the tangy lime taste in her mouth once the fruit was out of there. "all that without pulling a face too? impressive."

lexi knew exactly how mckenzie felt about trent. that rat she was supposed to call a human was honestly one of the worst people she’d ever met. she’d dealt with her share of jerks before, but the way he treated mckenzie made her want to break her usual no-violence rule. she’d never let anyone hurt mckenzie like that again. "what can i say, i have the best ideas," she teased, sticking her tongue out at mckenzie with a grin. "oh, don’t tempt me, or i’ll keep calling you ‘babygirl,’" she added, shooting her a playful wink. watching mckenzie rub the lime along her bottom lip, lexi licked her own lips, a mischievous glint in her eye. "not exactly what i’d like to taste, but i’ll keep it pg," she said with a wink. she licked the salt from the back of her hand, took her shot, and set the glass down, fingers hooking into the sides of mckenzie’s waistband to pull her closer. grinning, she took the lime from mckenzie’s lips and wrapped her arms around her waist, savoring the moment. "now that was great," she murmured, still smirking.

mckenzie's whole viewpoint on love was challenged and changed due to her first relationship with trent and it took her a while to get back into the groove of loving herself again after it. trent made her feel insecure around other girls. he was never proud of showing mckenzie off to his friends and she felt hidden away from the limelight with him. during arguments between them she would be compared to whatever other girls he knew and hung out with at the time too. looking back - everything about that relationship had sucked and she wasn't sure why she put up with him for so long. she hoped no other girl put themselves through a relationship with trent ever again. nobody deserved to feel worthless in the presence of a guy like that. mckenzie looked at one of the pieces of lime laid out on the table. "never mind, i prefer your plan to mine." mckenzie picked up a slice of lime and checked it over to make sure it was fresh and sweet looking. she wanted lexi to get a good tasting one. "call me baby girl again and i might just swoon." mckenzie lightly rubbed the lime against lexi's bottom lip before placing it gently between her own lips as a playful expression crossed over her face.

before she could see mckenzie truly happy, she had to watch her go through hell. lexi noticed how she tensed up whenever trent was around. he was such an asshole, and seeing him talk down to her best friend, making her feel unworthy, was painful. she wanted so badly to tell mckenzie she deserved better, that she didn’t have to put up with his garbage, and that she’d be happier with someone who actually cared. but lexi also knew sometimes that kind of honesty could make people defensive, and she couldn’t risk losing her. if mckenzie walked away from her, it’d shatter her. now that she was finally with someone who loved her, it was a relief. “if they’re smart, they’ll see through him in five minutes flat,” lexi said, reaching over to tuck a stray lock of hair behind mckenzie’s ear, smiling. “but let’s not waste a second on him tonight,” she added as they headed inside. “so, ‘help out’ how, exactly?” she teased with a smirk. “because I was thinking, you put a lime slice between your lips, and after I lick the salt and take the shot, I go in for the lime.” she shrugged, grinning. “but hey, if you’re into that flirty bartender move, you call the shots.” she winked. “i’m at your mercy, babygirl.”

[mckenzie-monroe]

mckenzie's relationship with lexi was a lot different to the one with trent. the difference was in the details. she couldn't believe that she'd put up with trent for so long. that guy was the biggest jerk in the world. he didn't know what or who he wanted at the time. mckenzie's confidence dropped with him and she never went back to feeling the same way she did before dating him. she never realised lexi was crushing on her for the longest time which sucked because everything between them could've blossomed before this point. mckenzie thought lexi was beautiful - even without having a crush. falling in love with lexi was easy though. she was easy to love. the girl was gorgeous, smart, witty, and confident. "i hope no other girl ever puts up with the bullshit i put up with him." mckenzie knew other girls would fall into his trap because he was semi-attractive and could flirt with girls. he'd trap them with fake compliments and ruin their lives. mckenzie laughed as lexi mentioned that she should've brought a pen and paper and wrote that he was an asshole and put it on his back. she could imagine the laughs that would get from other people. although, they were both better than that, and wouldn't stoop lowly. she lead them both indoors and chuckled as lexi mentioned that she would have to help her with tequila shots. "help you out how, baby?" mckenzie stopped at the bar table and pour two shots out for them. "did you want me to tip your head back and pour the drink in your mouth like one those flirty bartenders do?"

lexi hadn’t been in many relationships, and the one guy she dated in high school was enough to make her realize guys just weren’t for her. the thought of kissing one now made her pretend to gag. she had spent a lot of time casually dating women, finding hookups on apps and keeping things no-strings-attached, thinking it was easier that way… until she met mckenzie. right from the start, even as best friends, lexi knew she wanted more. mckenzie was so gorgeous, and lexi was ready to give her the world. but back then, mckenzie was with trent, and that made lexi bury her feelings deep down, trying to avoid the heartache. watching her best friend date someone who was such an obvious jerk was hard—too hard. seeing how trent hurt her over and over wasn’t something lexi could just stand by and accept. at first, she tried to hold back, but when she realized it wasn’t a one-time thing, her frustration showed. she ignored trent, talked over him, and didn’t bother hiding how much she couldn’t stand him. she didn’t owe him anything. "he deserves to be alone," lexi muttered, her lips curling into a smirk. "i should’ve brought a pen and paper to write 'i’m an asshole' on his back so everyone would know." her tone was playful, but there was a real edge behind it. when mckenzie told her she was all hers now, lexi's smile grew wider. she gently cupped her best friend’s face and planted a quick kiss on her lips, feeling the thrill of finally having her. "finally," she grinned, following mckenzie's lead toward the bar. "oh, i was gonna get wasted tonight no matter what, baby," she chuckled. "but you’ll have to help me with those tequila shots." her voice was flirty as they made their way inside, the night finally feeling like it was going exactly the way it was meant to.

[mckenzie-monroe]

mckenzie's relationship with trent was not romantic in the slightest. mckenzie didn't have high hopes for love as she came from an upbringing where her own parents didn't show love towards people who didn't have the same opinions and values as them. it was gross. mckenzie didn't know how she survived so long being in that house. she knew her parents wouldn't be thrilled when she finally admitted to being in a relationship with a girl when she got the guts to say it. still, mckenzie didn't care how they reacted because she'd have lexi. lexi was the first person in mckenzie's life that made her feel loved. she loved mckenzie - flaws and all. "i don't have any doubts about it." lexi showed trent up in every way possible. she was his opposite. trent was a horrid person and she was glad to see the back of him. what kind of guy was raised to hurt his girlfriends feelings and make her feel insecure and less than other girls? mckenzie smiled against the other girls lips as she was pulled closer to her by the neck. everything about mckenzie's relationship with lexi was so different. "no girl is going to stay with him. i let him walk over me in the past." mckenzie hoped other girls didn't fall into his trap like she had done. she could have only wished to have known lexi's feelings back then. mckenzie didn't know lexi had developed romantic feelings towards her during that period of time. she hadn't even realised that she liked girls then. mckenzie had been dating guys at that point in life. mckenzie brushed the girls blonde locks out of her face and looked deeply into the girl's eyes with a smug smile. "mhm, i'm all yours." mckenzie reached down to hold the girls hand and started walking them towards the house to get some alcohol. it was about time to drink. "come on, let's get wasted and forget all about him."

lexi rolled her eyes as mckenzie told her not to punch her ex-boyfriend. she wasn't the kind to get in trouble willingly, but he hurt mckenzie, and she would have wanted to show him how she felt about it. when mckenzie was dating him, lexi made it obvious she didn't like him. she hated the shit out of him. no one should be treated the way her ex treated her. "you're lucky i don't want to get in trouble, but i feel like if i hit him right on his cheekbone, i would leave a pretty nice reminder of how much of an asshole he is," she chuckled, a playful smile on her lips as she turned to look at the brunette. how could someone treat mckenzie the way she did when she was literally an angel on earth? even if she was mad at him, that kiss... that kiss solved all her problems. she forgot about everyone, her hands moved to the back of her neck, pulling her closer, if that was possible. she was in love, and no one would be able to change that. "i hope he doesn't find anyone ever, fuck his stupid ass." those last words came out of her lips louder; she wished he heard her. as her girlfriend cupped her cheeks, she looked at her, focusing on her pretty eyes. "you don't have to be sorry. you were in a relationship, not a good one, but a relationship, and i didn't know if i was ready to lose you because of being selfish," she confessed. "but the only thing i care about is that you're happy, and you're mine now."

[mckenzie-monroe]

mckenzie loved being with someone who made her feel so wanted. mckenzie's ex boyfriend didn't want to be seen around mckenzie at parties when he could flirt with other girls and cause a bit of mischief with them. she could remember being glued to the walls waiting for him to come back so they could leave and go back home again. still, he never rushed and left mckenzie waiting there looking all alone. mckenzie didn't even get introduced to any of his friends at the time almost like she was a secret that he didn't want other people to know anything about. lexi, however, was the opposite and wanted to be seen at mckenzie's side which was sweet. she felt appreciated by lexi. she didn't know lexi had been crushing on her while she was in her previous relationship so it came as a bit of a surprise the first time lexi admitted to have feelings for her as more than just a friend. "don't punch him. i don't want you getting into any trouble tonight." mckenzie's priority was protecting lexi and making sure she was okay. her ex boyfriend could rot for all that she cared anymore. mckenzie's hands pressed to lexi's waist as the other closed the distance between them and kissed her like she wanted everybody to see how in love they were with each other. she couldn't help but to smile into the kiss as she deepened it some more. "yeah, fuck him. i hope he doesn't find anyone else to lead on and treat like that." mckenzie pulled back from lexi's lips and moved her hands to hold the girls face. "you've loved me from the start and i'm sorry i didn't notice that right away."

hearing mckenzie talk about how happy she was just to be seen with her made lexi’s heart ache. it shouldn’t have to be such a big deal—wanting to be seen together was the bare minimum. but her ex-boyfriend had messed with her head so much that even the simplest things felt monumental. the thought of him made lexi's blood boil, and she had half a mind to go over there and knock some sense into him. "that’s exactly what i want too," she smiled, pressing a soft kiss to mckenzie’s cheek. she wanted the world to see them together, to see how amazing they looked as a couple and feel a little jealous. mckenzie was the prettiest girl lexi had ever laid eyes on, and she was sure everyone at the party would have wanted to be with her. as she noticed a guy walking nearby, a wave of anger surged through her. "i want to punch him, i’m already mad at him," she muttered, turning her attention back to the brunette. "fuck him." she closed the distance between them, pressing her lips to mckenzie’s in a kiss that was both defiant and full of affection.

[mckenzie-monroe]

mckenzie could remember getting invited to parties only to be left against some wall somewhere holding a red solo cup full of cheap alcohol while she watched her boyfriend at the time wrapping his arms around one girl to the next while she was abandoned until he remembered he had actually had a girlfriend to take back home. mckenzie didn't really love parties with him. she didn't get introduced to anybody. sometimes she thought her boyfriend felt embarrassed to be seen with her which made her feel like complete and utter shit. why did he treat other girls so differently? "i'm happy that you want to be seen with me. i feel appreciated when i'm with you." lexi didn't just push mckenzie aside and pretend like she didn't know who she was. mckenzie's heart dropped once lexi mentioned that her ex had made his entrance. still, nowadays, she felt insecure in his presence. that would probably never change. mckenzie's hand brushed some of lexi's blonde locks backwards with a smug look. "don't get mad at him. get him mad."

lexi was somehow glad she wasn't into men. she knew not everyone was nice, but she had been with a couple of women she wouldn't choose either. partying before was more of a mess to lexi. she couldn't remember a party where she didn't end up waking up at somebody else's place. maybe not the times she was with mckenzie, but other times she was ready to have a good time with any girl who wanted to give her a bit of attention. she wasn't ashamed, but she wouldn't say she was proud of it. "fuck them," she smiled, a warm smile on her lips. "but now you have me here so you won't feel uncomfortable," she promised. she was feeling amazing with mckenzie next to her, the music was nice… but then he had to show up. "i don't know if i want to punch him or take you away," she confessed, "your stupid ex just walked in. i'm really mad."

[mckenzie-monroe]

mckenzie could remember being sort of a wallflower at some parties in the past. mckenzie's ex boyfriend wouldn't take her under his wing and introduce her to people. she felt insecure with him back in those days because he didn't want to be seen with her whenever they were out at places as a couple. she use to look lonely - counting down the hours until he would return back to her again so they could go back home. mckenzie raised a brow and lifted her drink as lexi said guys scared her a little bit. "yeah, guys tend to do that. they're good at talking shit and making everybody around them feel uncomfortable." mckenzie had first hand experience with dudes. lexi's kisses were welcomed and mckenzie pulled back with a smile after each one. mckenzie leaned into lexi's space until the girl's focus went over to somebody else at the party. she didn't look at who lexi was looking at. she kind of looked annoyed. "what's wrong, baby? is everything alright?"

partying was something lexi loved. she could never say no to a good time. but since she and mckenzie started dating, it had been even better. she no longer had to hide how much she was into mckenzie. in fact, sometimes she worried about drinking too much and accidentally revealing her huge crush on the brunette. now, she could dance, have fun, and drink with her girlfriend. "you're more than welcome, but you gotta pay the tax," she said with a smile, leaning in to give mckenzie a quick kiss. "oh, i know, but the guys are the ones who scare me," lexi chuckled. the blonde smiled against mckenzie's lips as she leaned in for another kiss, loving every second of it. "being tipsy and handsy with your girlfriend," she added, wrapping an arm around mckenzie's waist. she looked around the place to find their friends, but what she saw wasn't what she expected. "oh, shit."
