A little bit at a time

It was only some ten minutes later, but the game was well under way when someone pointed out that there was some unfairness regarding the amount of items that each player could lose before they were out of the game. Ashley had already made an excellent show of removing just one of her stockings though, and none seemed willing to argue whether she was cheating and should immediately remove the next one as well.

"Oh, fine!" She agreed, with a generous smile on her lips as she leaned herself back in the couch again, and promised that she'd try and compensate the next time she lost a game. "It's got to be fair for everyone, right?"

Meanwhile, her boyfriend was the last one to have lost something - which had caused this reaction in the first place -, although it wasn't himself that started objecting when they all realized that he wasn't even wearing a pair of socks on his feet. In short, he was now only wearing a pair of shorts and underwear on his body, while his girlfriend still had her t-shirt, skirt, bra, eventual underwear, and one more stocking to lose...

"So don't take anything off the next time you lose...!" Gavin was tying to explain to the half-naked guy, and surprised the most of them with a sense of humor that only Zack and perhaps Chloe knew that he possessed. "And I sure hope you're wearing something else under those pants, or we'd have to disqualify anyone else with more than two pieces of clothing on them from the start!"

"Yeah, I'm wearing my trunks under these!" Brandon laughed, with the others chiming in, and then winked at him while picking up his cards again. "How about you then, Gavin...?"

"Well, I'm not planning to lose much anyway..." The other guy flashed him another smile - with feigned modesty in his voice -, and then glanced towards Heather for some clarifications. "'Cause we're not playing until we're all naked, right...?"

"We'll see about that...!" The sexy brunette grinned right back at him, and then leaned forwards to have a look at the clock in her phone - causing more than one pair of eyes to be drawn to her impressive cleavage. Having already lost one piece of clothing herself - and skilfully removed her bra from underneath her top -, she was now quite the sight given the low-necked front of that tight little garment.

"Let's say we play until we need to get started with the lunch?" She suggested as she looked up again, smiling knowingly as she noticed how most of the group followed her movements, but not immediately returning their attention to her eyes. "Like half an hour from now? And it's up to the winner to do all the cooking...?"

"Fair enough with me!" Gavin agreed - seeming to speak for most of them now -, and surprised them again into laughing once more. "I'll only need to hope that there's more of you that's slow like Ashley when removing your clothes then...?"

It turned out to be Vicky who lost the fourth game they were playing, and she did indeed take quite some time on her to manage the same kind of stunt that Heather had pulled some time earlier. Apparently she didn't quite have enough **** in her slender body to keep from being shy about showing some skin - but still had more than enough to giggle hysterically while having serious trouble fining the right way out of her shirt.

"Here, let me help you with that...!" Ashley was laughing so much she could barely sit upright when she finally tried to give her friend a hand, and only made the others laugh even more while caused even more damage than being of any actual help. Eventually they somehow managed to get through however, though they were both seriously tousled and disheveled when they finally slumped back into their seats again.

"Just remind me to never ask any of you for help with trying new clothes...!" Heather grinned while shaking her head at them, but couldn't quite keep from noticing how her other neighbor had been reacting to the show of the blondes wrestling with one another. And of course she couldn't keep from teasing poor Zack about it, but almost made him drop the card deck in middle of shuffling as she casually slid her hand up his thigh towards the bulge in front of his pants.

"So, you didn't get to see her naked enough already...?" She whispered mischievously in his ear, and caused him to blush ever so slightly while she still hadn't withdrawn her hand from his thigh. "Or is it Ashley you're drooling over this time around...?"

"Perhaps a bit of both?" He suggested between clenched teeth, while trying his best to just ignore the touch of her hand, and then started to deal out the cards like they weren't actually talking to each other at all. "I guess I'm weak to the blondes and redheads...?"

"Ouch!" Heather giggled at his comment, but saw how Chloe seemed to have noticed they were chatting by now - and quite possibly also where Heather's hand was resting at the moment. She didn't really want to offend the other girl too much - even if she'd certainly not have any sole rights to Zack after already cheating on him with Gavin -, and she reluctantly stopped harassing the poor guy for now. "Well, if it's only the hair color...? Do you think I'd look good in straw?"

"No comments, I guess..." He flashed her a quick smile, and disappointed her a little as he actually seemed grateful that she'd removed her hand. At some point she'd definitively need to work on him more, but right now she'd rather enjoy the game and perhaps be a little more subtle with her teasing of him...
