Smolder Lane: Road Trip IV
*Sequel to Smolder Lane: Las Vegas. The eight friends head on an adventure across the country.*

“You cannot be serious!” LOTSLove looks at her sister, aghast.
“I am in!” Taylor raises his hand.
“Of course you are in. You hate clothes,” Jlyn rolls her eyes.
“Oh, c’mon! It will be fun! We won’t go past undergarments!” Evie tells them.
“I’m in!” Craig grins.
“What?” LOTSLove looks at her husband.
“I am good at poker!” Craig reminds her.
“This is true…I’m in,” LOTSLove smiles.
“I’m in,” Rob announces.
“Rob!” Jlyn looks at him.
“That bed looks awfully comfy,” Rob smiles at his wife.
“I’m in!” Brendan says.
“Yay!” Evie sneaks in a quick kiss.
“Sure! Why not!” Orlando smiles.
“What?” Caroline crosses her arms at look at Orlando, who throws her a smolder. “Damn it…I’m in.”
“Jlyn?” Evie looks at her sister.
“Peer pressure…” Jlyn sighs. “I am in!” Evie claps excitedly.
“So whoever wins, they and their spouse get the bed?” Caroline asks.
“Yes! I think that is fair,” Evie nods.
“What about me?” Taylor asks Evie.
“You and the bottle of lotion in the bathroom can have the bed,” Evie tells him.
“Evelyn Grace!” Jlyn smacks her arm as the others laugh.
“What?” Evie snickers.
“I will run from this room screaming bloody murder if that happens,” Jlyn angrily whispers at Evie.
“On that awkward note, I am going to order room service and some more chairs,” Orlando heads to the desk phone.

The nine friends receive their room service and set up the table. Orlando is shuffling the cards.
“This champagne will make this easier,” Jlyn mumbles.
“Here! Here!” Evie lifts up her glass.
“You have had one glass and you’re almost spilling it,” Brendan wipes off some that fell on his arm.
“You forget the champagne from the boutique!” Evie reminds him.
“The boutique where Chris showed up,” Brendan growls and thunder booms outside.
“Well that was creepy,” Caroline frowns.
“Hey…let us not ruin our night with talk of that man,” Rob sips from his champagne glass.
“I want to be that glass…” Jlyn whispers to him.
“I heard that!” LOTSLove calls out. Jlyn giggles.
“Alright! Are we ready?” Orlando calls out before he deals.
“As ready as I will ever be….” Jlyn frowns, suddenly wishing she has a snow suit on.
“Let us do this!” Craig claps.
“Calm down over there seal…” Jlyn frowns. She had a bad feeling she was going to loose.
“The person who collects the most clothes, wins! Unless the last two are a couple…” Orlando says as he deals out the cards.
“Let’s go, Craig!” LOTSLove cheers.
“Hey!” Jlyn laughs.
“What?” LOTSLove laughs.
“I just realized I do not know how to play poker…” Evie frowns.
“This was your idea!” Jlyn yells.
“I will help you,” Brendan laughs. “We are on the same team and all.”
“You just want to see me in my undies!” Evie giggles.
“The sexuality in this room is enough to make a pornographic film…” Craig laughs.
“That is called an orgy, Horner,” Rob laughs with him.
“They really aren’t that fun,” Taylor tells them. They all stare at him.
“That is way too much information…” Caroline scrunches her nose in disgust.
“Anyway…” Orlando looks down at his cards. “Shall we start with shirts?”
“So glad I wore a bra today…” Jlyn mumbles.
“What?” Evie looks at her. Jlyn just giggles.
“Well, here we go!” Taylor throws his shirt in the middle of the table. Everyone else follows.
“I am glad room service already came….” Caroline laughs.
“I raise my shoes,” Rob laughs and tosses his shoes on the table.
“I’m out,” Jlyn frowns and tosses her cards. Evie, Caroline, LOTSLove, and Taylor are out. Brendan, Craig, and Orlando toss their shoes on the table.
“I hope no one has stinky feet!” Evie giggles.
“I raise my socks,” Craig chimes in and throws his socks on the table.
“I am out,” Brendan sighs.
“Me too,” Orlando frowns.
“I am in,” Rob pulls his socks off.
“The Seeker versus Edward Cullen,” Evie whispers to Jlyn. Jlyn rolls her eyes at Evie.
“What do you have, Horner?” Rob raises an eyebrow and lays out a three of a kind on the table.
“Royal flush, Pattinson,” Craig smiles triumphantly. LOTSLove claps excitedly as Rob frowns. Craig laughs and puts the pile of clothes next to him.
“Craig is going to win,” Jlyn mumbles.
“It is really raining!” Taylor points towards the window.
“Thank you, Captain Obvious,” Caroline says.
“Round two!” Orlando shuffles the cards and deals. Everyon looks at their cards.
“I raise my pants,” Taylor unzips his pants and throws them on the table.
“Please tell me he has boxers on!” JLyn grabs Evie’s arm in fright.
“I do not want to look!” Evie exclaims.
“Relax, ladies. He does,” Rob laughs. Jlyn breathes a sigh of relief.
“And you would be the one to raise your pants,” Jlyn mumbles.
“I am in!” Rob tosses his pants.
“This is oddly erotic,” Jlyn says.
“I agree!” As Evie tosses her jeans in. Everyone follows. They are now all sitting in their under garments.
“Well this just got interesting…” Brendan laughs as the door bell rings.
“Very interesting…” Rob frowns as they all stare at the door….
