Tara

Again, Tara and Jess quickly turned their cards. Rach looked on, to see that Jess held the king of spades, while Tara had the five of spades.

Rach turned her own card over, relieved to see the five of hearts. She’d tied again!

Jess giggled, “You two may as well be playing this on your own!”

Rach glared daggers at her sister, shocking herself in doing so. She immediately regretted doing it, although neither of them noticed. They were too focused on Jess dealing the next hand.

Jess dramatically dealt Rach her card, revealing it as she did. Nine of diamonds. Rach’s stomach knotted, it was beatable.

Then Jess dealt Tara’s card. Pausing for a moment, so only she could see it, Jess looked up at Rach and winked.

As the card slowly turned, Rach tried to analyse her sister’s actions, but she didn’t have long before she saw the two of clubs.

“Aww, damn. I was so looking forward to seeing you in lingerie straight up, Rach,” Tara said, smiling at Rach.

Tara grabbed the bottom of her shirt and lifted it quickly, revealing her chest, now covered only by a white bra.

“Wow, you’re both gorgeous. No wonder you love each other!”

“Hey, I love her for more than just her body. She could be -”

Tara cut her off with just the touch of her hand. Once Rach had stopped, she said, “Calm down hon. You know she meant it as a compliment.”

Rach lowered her gaze, staring at the desk. The nerves caused by the game had really gotten to her. A few seconds later, a card was pushed to her side of the table.
