And more poker dares.

Once the laughter stopped, Diana looked at all of us but shifted her gaze from Noelle to Sarah more than anyone else. “So… Is that how you guys do it? Is it a relationship where you all… do it with each other, or…”

“Nah, we’re all straight,” Sarah assured, though she then frowned and corrected herself. “Mostly straight, at least. It’s just that we’ve seen each other naked and having sex so many times by now it’s kind of impossible not to feel arousal for each other.”

“Yeah,” Noelle agreed with a nod. “We’ve shared three-way kisses, threesomes, foursomes… We’ve done it with one girl on top of the other and Oliver behind… At some point the brain just grows used to it. It learns that women are also sexual stimulus and makes the body react. Still wouldn’t call myself a lesbian, though.”

“Like technicalities matter,” Grace said with a shrug.

Alice chuckled. “Is that what you two talked about at Sarah's house the other day?”

Noelle laughed. “Not just that, but it did come up.”

“I mean, we were in the sauna,” Sarah said. “I found myself thinking that Noelle was really hot. I told her, she said she also thought I was hot and we ended up trying to rationalize why we were becoming attracted to women, too.”

I sighed. “To be a fly on that wall…”

“In a sauna? You’d be dead,” Mila said, laughing.

“Ever kissed a girl, Diana?” Grace asked.

Diana chuckled. “Win the next poker round and ask me again.”

“Oh, so now I need to try.”

“Oh, don’t act like you weren’t trying already,” Alice told her.

As if to prove her point, it was Alice who won that round with a full house.

“Fuck you, Alice,” Grace said, pouting an crossing her arms.

“Cry me a river! Haha!” Alice drank from her glass and turned to Diana. “So? Ever kissed a girl?”

We all laughed, even Diana. She took her glass and finished her martini, eating the olive inside and set it down before answering.

“I have.”

There were ‘oooohs’ around the table.

“Let me guess. Maria?” I asked only half-jokingly.

Diana smiled wryly. “Yes, actually. We were in university. I was… depressed, Maria had broken up with a boyfriend two days ago. We were drunk… We made out. It was good. We joke about it from time to time. There was nothing romantic about it, or even sexual. Just… reassurance. I love that woman like you wouldn’t believe. Just not, you know, that way. It’s mutual.”

I stroked my chin dramatically. “Should I tell Thomas our girlfriends have made out or not?”

“You keep your mouth shut, young man.”

“Yes ma’am!”

More laughter and more drinking. We had hit a sweet spot, I think. One that made me understand why people drank **** a bit more. A layer of inhibitions and shame was gone, the atmosphere was freeing, enjoyable. I could understand why people would continue to try and replicate it with constant drinking. It was dangerous.

Drink carefully, kids! Or don’t. I’m not your mom.

With spirits high and matching body temperatures, the game became actual strip poker for a while. Round after round, no matter who won, someone was taking something off. I didn’t win a single one, but I had been stripped of my shirt and my shoes. And as jackets and shirts began to fall off, I noticed something very, very interesting.

“Wait a minute…”

“He finally noticed!” Mila said, laughing.

“Wait, let him say it,” Alice said.

All the girls were in their bras, but… Grace was wearing red, Mila was wearing sky-blue, Sarah was wearing purple, Alice was wearing white, Noelle was wearing teal and while Diana still had her white shirt on, I still saw she was wearing black underneath.

“When did you all become color-coded?” I asked, very much amused. Then it hit me. “Wait, was this what you bought the other day?”

“Yeah!” Mila said.

“It was Diana’s idea,” Alice told me. “You like underwear, don’t you? We thought it would be fun. What do you think?”

“The colors fit you all perfectly.”

I mean, even without the unique colors, their bras were very pretty. Grace, Alice and Diana were wearing classic lace bras that were big enough to hold their heavy busts yet still leaving ample and eye-catching cleavage. Mila’s sky-blue bra was made of satin, but the area closer to the cleavage was of a black, mostly transparent fabric. Noelle’s teal bra was silk with a darker colored lace fringe on the lower half. And finally, while Sarah’s was made of purple silk, it had a pattern resembling black tiger stripes.

Horny and tipsy as I was, I rubbed my face with my hands and groaned into them. “You’re all so damn sexy. What did I ever do to deserve you?”

“Give and take, love,” Grace said, smiling at her glass. “You give us so much we have to match you somehow.”

“I don’t do enough,” I told her. “I’ll work even harder, I promise.”

Diana chuckled softly. “You’re all so cute.”

“Wait, Oliver…” Alice looked at the cards in front of me. “How many rounds have we played already? Have you won any?”

“Nope.” I told her and took the first sip of my third grasshopper. “It seems I have terrible luck at cards.”

Noelle giggled. “Oh wow! Something you’re bad at!”

Diana dealt cards again while I answered Noelle. “What are you talking about? I’m only good at a handful of things.”

“I bet your little guy is very uncomfortable in your pants, huh?” Sarah teased.

“A little.”

Again, no luck. My highest card was a single King. It really defied reason and probabilities, but I couldn’t care. I don’t need to describe my situation again, do I?

We watched as Alice showed her hand, a perfect royal flush.

“Oh damn!” Mila laughed. “Do you get anything cool for winning with that?”

“Maybe we should’ve added a rule like that,” Diana said, chuckling. “Well, Alice? What’s your command?”

“I… I want to do something selfish. Oliver, stay where you are.”

Alice stood up from her seat and walked over to me. She straddled my hips, wrapped her arms around me and just… hugged me. She hugged me tightly, lovingly, her face next to mine. With a happy sigh, I returned the hug, rubbing her bare upper back.

She laughed softly and whispered in my ear. “Sorry. You wanted more than this, didn’t you?”

“No, this is perfect,” I told her.

She kissed my neck. “Oliver… I love you. I’m not going to lose you. I’ll… We’ll figure something out. Our road doesn’t end here.”

I tensed up a bit. “Alice…”

“I know. This is a night to relax. But just… being here, playing around with you all… I refuse to let this go. I’m not losing you or any of the others. I know what’s important to me now.”

I held her closer to me, hiding my face between her shoulder and her neck. “Me too. You’re just as important to me. We’re staying together no matter what.”

We shared a very tender, innocent kiss before Alice returned to her seat. At first it seemed like our secret conversation had gone unheard. Mila cheerfully urged Diana to deal again and everyone went on as usual. However, the silent determination I felt from my schoolmates was unmistakable.

“By the way…” Diana said as she casually dealt the cards. “It might be time to up the level of our orders, don’t you think?”

There it was. Diana had just given the girls the green light. Things were about to get even hotter.
