No One Rides For Free: An Extreme Novella

Product Information

I lean on my right side and a drawn out *pffft* can be heard from under the blankets. David groans. Nope, haven’t seen that one either. Jesus Munson, you’re like a walking movie encyclopedia. How do you know all this shit?”

At first there’s no response. Then, like a scene out of a zombie movie, Mikey’s hand slowly twitches open. David thanks him and does something to the phone, he points to me and motions for me to spin around. I resume my normal squat and am surprised when David walks past me, turning around to face me at about three feet away.. Eddie lights the joint, takes a deep puff, and holds it out to Steve. A peace offering. Steve takes the joint hesitantly, lifts it to his lips, and takes a drag. He sputters and coughs while Eddie tries not to laugh. Eddie Munson is a lot of things—a freak, a metalhead, a musician, an excellent Dungeon Master—but tonight he’s an entrepreneur. Which is why he’s at some girl Tina’s house selling weed to all the fine people of Hawkins High. And by fine people, he means assholes who take one look at him and judge him. He’s almost at his van when he’s stopped by Tommy Hagan and that new douchebag with the Camaro, Billy Something. The sheep at the party had just been bleating his name after an admittedly impressive keg stand.David points an accusatory finger at me. “It’s your sister. Ever since lunch she’s been blowing it up in here. I had to step out twice because it got so bad. So we settled on the incense to neutralize her.” He gestures to me once more as I begin to feel self-conscious. I show the message to David as I consider my options. I feel a rumbling in my belly, following immediate relief as a warm silent breeze washes over my prisoner, said silent breeze gives way to muffled screams and lots of frantic movement. I’m the very image of a rodeo girl as I stay firmly seated on the thrashing calf beneath me. I grab the top of his shirt to steady myself as I throw another hand in the air, lifting up an imaginary cowboy hat. Try as he might, Mikey is unable to pull his head out of my ass, much to his displeasure. His sad expression makes Eddie’s heart clench. “Let’s get you home, then. I’ll give you a ride,” he says before he can think better of it. Tony is damaged goods. Like many anti-hero detectives he has some sterling qualities (often the sense of justice and fair play) and many destructive ones also. He’s bright enough to figure things out, but often leads with his fist instead of the little grey cells. He has a reputation for being street-wise, but also is an idealist. Even after vigorous shaking oil and water don’t want to mix and so it is with his many impulses.

Let me make it up to you, please?” Eddie says sweetly, praying that Steve will want to keep going. He reaches for the button of Steve’s pants and looks up at him expectantly. There ya go.” he says, giving me that look again. The look that says he’s captivated by my performance. You want a show, big guy? I’ll give ya a show. Steve Harrington is definitely looking at his lips, and he’s not even trying to wrestle him off. Eddie starts to shift his weight to his legs so he can get off Steve, but his thigh between Steve’s legs brushes up against the crotch of Steve’s jeans, and he gasps. I have mixed emotions as I read the text in front of me. On one hand I detest being called a bitch and this transgression would not go unpunished. But on the other I was thrilled that she was standing up for my brother. It was kinda touching. I showed David and he once again spoke to my butt cheeks.. Eddie tries not to let his face fall at that, it feels shitty and weird taking money from Steve after everything they did together last night, but his gas tank is almost empty so he takes the bills from Steve.Eddie wants to protest and say it’s not necessary, but he can’t really afford to say no, so instead he jokes, “Gas, grass, or ass, no one rides for free.”

Mikey stares up at me, a dumbfounded expression on his face. “Yeah? You remember. So why are you wanting to do it now?” Oh, speaking of,” Steve gets out his wallet and pulls out a couple bills offering them to Eddie, “no one rides for free, right?” This is so stupid, you shouldn’t be blushing like an idiot over a compliment. Get it together, Eddie! Just then, Mikey’s hands flail upwards in an attempt to get the phone away from me. I instinctively lift my arms up when he grabs for it. This unfortunately leaves me in a rather vulnerable position. “W-wait Mikey!”Steve’s arm is pressed right up against his now, and Eddie thinks it’s absolutely adorable that Steve seems to think that he’s using his moves on girls during scary movies to distract them when he clearly wants to distract himself cause he’s such a wuss. Eddie tries not to think about how he could distract Steve that way, how he could wrap his arm around him and pull him flush against his side and kiss him stupid. C’mon it’s not that bad! Stop moving!” I command as Mikey flails about. I should have had him sit cross legged, he has too much leverage on his knees, I don’t know how much longer I can keep him pressed into my ass. Losing him! Jesus Allie that one was awful, probably the worst one today,” says David as he covers his nose and mouth with the bottom of his green shirt. Wait,” Steve says, and Eddie has another moment of panic that Steve is going to want to say that they should stop, but Steve’s hands are sliding under Eddie’s shirt and pulling it up. “Take this off too.”

He’s so flustered he mixed up his sentence! “No way, broseph! Those are things mom told you to do anyways, they’re your chores. This is for me!” I scold. A laugh escapes me. “You should know me well enough to know I’ll never stop messing with you. But tell you what, no matter how I feel about how the next game ends, I’ll make sure you get to Jessica’s. What do you say?”I give him a reassuring smile. “Think of it as away to know if the relationship will work? It might actually bring them closer together.”
