Luuk!

...Luuk.

There was a long moment of quiet, Jasper and Luuk looking at each other, the silence between them drawing out painfully. It almost felt like a standoff in some Western and Jessica half expected someone to draw a pistol at any moment.

Instead Mila burst out laughing, the sound broke the tension and soon they all were. Both Jessica and Mila pushing the two **** men towards each other as people in the crowd shouted jokes and encouragements.

The pair stood awkwardly, both of them trying to laugh it off as they were pushed closer and closer to each other. For a moment their eyes met, Luuk saying something Jessica couldn’t make out, and then they kissed. A peck on the lips that lasted a scant second but drew a wave of cat-calls and disappointed boos from the crowd.

Jessica laughed just as hard as those around her as the two guys gestured and called out to the crowd. Seeming to offer them to take their place from what she could tell from the mix of English, Dutch and excessive emoting.

However, when they all finally turned back to the table she felt a shift in the mood. Not exactly a release of tension but more of a change in its focus. Almost as if the ice had been broken between the four of them.

So it was that Luuk was able to choose the next question or dare, and soon the game was truly on. Through dumb questions, demands to down beers or sing songs, the four of them moved closer. In the flashing gloom of the party, time lost all meaning as they laughed and joked with each other.

Jessica, now leaning into Luuks chest, his hand cupping her ass casually, could feel the change. It wasn't just the type of questions and dares but the way that Luuk and Jasper where looking at one other, with expressions that she could only think of as conspiratorial. Mila for her part didn’t seem to notice, seeming more than happy with the attention Jasper was lavishing on her.

“Want to get out of here?”

The words whispered gently into her ear, nearly made Jessica jump out of her skin. She turned her head, looking up into Luuks face as he straightened up again, his hand giving her ass a squeeze that left no doubt as to what he meant.

“Your place?” she replied, her heart rate picking up at the thought of continuing where they had left off.

“Oh, I’m sure we can find a room.” he replied, looking around for a moment. “If you like?”

She almost laughed at how casual his tone was as he asked her to go and have sex with him in some stranger's house. At another time, and in what now felt like another life, she might have refused such an offer, but right here and right now she knew there was only one possible answer.

“Of course.”
