Sussing Out Past Info

The wine has warmed your body, making the emerald silk of your dress feel like liquid against your skin as you lean forward with mischievous intent. The drinking game has already revealed surprising secrets, and you decide to push further.

"Never have I ever," you announce, watching both their faces with newfound confidence, "had sex with David or Clara."

The statement hangs in the air for a beat before Clara bursts into delighted laughter, her fingers toying with the stem of her wineglass. "Oh, you're clever, aren't you?" she purrs, raising her glass in acknowledgment before taking a deliberate sip.

David's eyes widen slightly, caught off guard by your directness. He hesitates, then lifts his own glass to his lips with a slow, measured movement. "Technically true," he murmurs after swallowing. "I've had sex with Clara, but not with Mia."

Clara arches an eyebrow at him. "Ancient history, darling. What was it—three years ago? That corporate retreat in Bath?"

"Four," David corrects, his eyes never leaving yours. "Four years and two months, to be precise."

"You remember the exact timing?" Clara teases, but there's something sharp in her tone.

"It was memorable," David replies simply.

You observe them both, the IQ boost allowing you to pick up on the subtle currents flowing between them. Old lovers with unresolved tension, now both orbiting around you.

"Your turn," you say to David, breaking the charged silence.

David sets down his glass, leaning back in his chair. "Never have I ever..." he begins, his voice dropping lower, "fantasized about someone else in this room while having sex with someone not in this room."

You feel your face flush as memories surface—Matt fantasizing about Clara while with Jessica. Your hand moves to your glass automatically, lifting it to your lips. Clara drinks immediately, not bothering to hide her smile, and David follows suit.

"Well," Clara breathes, her foot sliding up your calf under the table. "This is getting interesting."

The room feels several degrees warmer now. Your enhanced mind analyzes the situation: both of them have admitted to sexual thoughts about someone else at this table. Both have slept with each other in the past. And both are now looking at you with barely disguised hunger.

"My turn," Clara announces, her voice honey-smooth. She trails a finger around the rim of her glass, never breaking eye contact. "Never have I ever wanted to kiss two people in the same room."

Without hesitation, all three of you drink.
