The pulse between my legs was difficult to ignore as I pulled back and quickly returned to my spot. Alex glared at me, but I was feeling bold. “What’s the matter? Didn’t want a show?” I teased. His only reply was a tense, irritated smirk.
The person next to Amber began his turn; he was tall and lanky, with large glasses that seemed to cover most of his face. Cute enough, but not my type. I zoned out as he asked something of the girl to his left, focusing instead on Amber’s hourglass figure, her waist drawn in under a tight, gray shirt and the cleavage showing above her v-neck. Her brown hair fell in loose curls over the front of her chest. She was absolutely stunning.
“Ooh, my turn,” Damien said excitedly a couple minutes later. “Alright, Serena, truth or dare?” Of course he chose me.
“Truth”
“How many people have you had sex with?”
I thought for a minute, tallying them up in my head. “Five men and one woman.” Damien’s eyes widened in surprise, but I wasn’t sure if he had thought it would be higher or lower, or if he was just surprised I had slept with a woman. I avoided making eye contact with Amber. I probably would sleep with her, given the chance, if I was being honest with myself. But maybe that was the alcohol talking. No, I decided, it wasn’t. She was just gorgeous, and I was buzzed and happy. And horny. It had been so long since I had let myself have fun and be sexual. “Okay, it’s my turn again,” I said, needing to change the subject. “Alex, truth or dare?”
“Dare.”
Ugh. Dares were always so much harder to think of. Not to mention that he was so hard to read, which made it even more difficult. “Alright. I dare you to take off an article of clothing.” That was always a fun and somewhat risky dare. Not too safe, but safe enough. Without hesitation, he peeled off his white t-shirt, revealing his toned chest and stomach. He gave me a humorous, challenging look, as if the dare was exceptionally simple.
“Amber,” he said, slowly pulling his eyes from me to her, “truth or dare?”
She looked between Alex and I, a spark of excitement still in her eyes, and answered, “Truth.”
“Have you ever made a woman come?” He asked, his eyes darting over to me momentarily. What was up with him? He had seemed angry that she and I were kissing, but then asked a question like that immediately after I had admitted to previously sleeping with a woman?
“Yes. Quite a few times, actually.” I ventured a look, and she was staring directly at me, a mischievous grin playing at her lips. “And I wouldn’t mind doing it again.” Her green eyes bore into me like lasers as I awkwardly avoided eye contact.
Again, nobody else in the circle chose me as their target. Which was fine, because I was enjoying watching the increasingly risqué dares take place along with the prying questions that were becoming more and more personal. By the time it got back around to me, two more people had made out with each other, one girl had flashed everyone her nipple piercings, and someone else was now dedicated to following the commands of another person for the rest of the game. Only one person had taken a shot in lieu of a dare.
For my turn, I decided to choose someone that I hadn’t spoken to yet, a girl who had been giving Alex flirty glances all night, especially now that he was half-naked. He seemed to be ignoring her looks, but that only barely helped the pang of jealousy that rose in my chest.
“Carla,” I said. She met my eyes, pulling her gaze away from Alex. “Truth or dare?”
“Dare,” she answered, flashing another look toward him. I was betting that she probably wanted to receive one of the sexual dares if Alex was involved.
I thought for a moment, deciding just how far I wanted to take this. I didn’t actually have anything against her, but I felt a weird sense of protectiveness over Alex and Damien, even though I had just met them last week. And I didn’t like her looking at him. I guess I could understand Alex’s frustration when I kissed Amber, now that I was thinking about it.
“Alright. I dare you to sit on Jake’s lap for the next three rounds.” I had seen Jake glancing at her throughout the night, and he had sat down next to her on the couch earlier, conveniently scooting closer to “make more room for other people.” A fleeting look of disappointment crossed her face, but she turned to Jake and gave him a saccharine smile as she slid onto his lap. He, on the other hand, tossed a grateful glance in my direction.
Alex was next, and he turned to me as he asked again, “Truth or dare?”
“Truth,” I answered.
“Will you be a good girl for me and let me fuck you again like I did last week?” His husky voice was low, and he wore a smug look. Holy shit.
I shot my eyes up at him as heat spread up my neck and into my cheeks. There were so many other people here. Why would he ask me that? Now that he had said it, though, there was no point in denying it had happened and would likely happen again. “Yes,” I answered meekly. A few people chuckled, but the game moved on. That wasn’t nearly the most sexual question that had been asked during the game. I could feel Carla glaring at me though, and I laughed under my breath. He must have noticed how I was feeling about her checking him out and acted accordingly, and I was glad that he and I were on the same page.
I wasn’t going to let anyone else have Alex or Damien, at least not tonight. They were mine.
