“Oh, come on. It’ll give you some good material for your book.” Sierra coaxed. “We’re all friends. Just don’t choose a dare and you won’t have to do anything you aren’t comfortable with.”
Right. Because choosing truth would be the simpler way to go. She knew better. Not with the devious way Sam’s mind worked.
“We don’t have to play.” Alex contributed.
Oh, he wasn’t going to put this on her. No way.
“I’m up for it. What about you?” She asked him, smiling.
This would likely push every boundary she could have ever dreamed up, but suffice it to say, she was actually intrigued by the idea. And Sierra was right; it would likely give her some hands on experience that she wouldn’t have another chance at getting.
It was just the hands on was the part that intimidated her.
“Ok. I’ll go first.” Sam exclaimed. “I’ll make it easy on you this go round.”
Ashleigh didn’t believe her for a second.
“Wait.” Ashleigh said before the freight train known as Sam took off and would likely get entirely too out of control. “If we’re going to do this, let’s move it inside. I’m not sure my neighbors can handle the likes of you.”
“Good idea.” Logan said. “Baby, I think she knows you well.”
Fifteen minutes and another round of drinks later, everyone was situated in the living room. Sam was once again seated on Logan’s lap in the oversized chair, Sierra on Cole’s lap with Luke close by on the couch, and Ashleigh and Alex were sitting on the floor. At Sam’s insistence, they had moved the coffee table out of the way.
The only person who looked excited about this game was Sam. Ashleigh was beginning to wonder whether anything was off limits with that woman.
“Ok.” Sam said getting everyone’s attention. “Cole, you’re first.”
“Fuck.” He groaned, but Sierra ruffled his hair and he smiled up at her.
“Truth or dare?” Sam asked.
“I’m screwed no matter what I do here, aren’t I?” He asked. “I might as well enjoy it. Dare.” He told Sam, wrapping his arms around Sierra.
“Hmm... Ok.” Sam acted as though she were pondering what she would have him do. “I won’t go overboard just yet. Show us how you kiss Sierra when Luke isn’t watching.”
Cole grinned and Ashleigh couldn’t help but laugh. When Cole turned Sierra’s head to face his, he wrapped his fist in her long, shiny, black hair, pulling her down to him before locking lips with her. They obviously didn’t have any issues with having an audience because Sierra began to moan relentlessly as Cole plundered her mouth.
The sight of it was hot enough to make Ashleigh squirm. She glanced over and noticed Alex was watching her closely.
“Damn, baby.” Cole released the words on a sigh when he pulled away from Sierra. “I’m thinking Luke needs to be away more often.”
“Your turn.” Sam said, obviously anxious to keep the game on track.
“Alright.” Cole said, glancing over at Luke, then back at Alex. “I’ll pick on Alex first. Truth or dare?”
Alex didn’t hesitate. “Truth.”
Ashleigh tensed. After the few things she’d learned about him recently, she wasn’t sure she wanted to know all of Alex’s secrets.
“Have you ever had sex in a public place? If yes, then where?” Leave it to Cole to break the ice quickly. Ashleigh turned her attention to Alex.
“Yes.” He said, not looking at her. “I’m a member of the club, aren’t I?”
Ashleigh thought maybe the answer would suffice, but Cole merely cocked an eyebrow and waited.
“I’ve had sex in more than one public place. The most taboo, since I know that’s what you’re angling for, was a department store.”
Cole grinned, apparently content with the answer. Ashleigh held her breath, praying no one would call on her.
A good forty five minutes later, the game had ratcheted up a notch, and Ashleigh was wondering whether she should turn the air conditioner on.
She had a feeling they’d toned down the first few questions and dares, for her benefit. And thankfully, she’d only had to answer one simple question. But now, the dares were becoming a little more sexually graphic. Ashleigh knew she should’ve been ready to bolt from the room, but she found herself hanging on every word, watching every movement. Surprisingly, they’d only gotten one more drink each, so she couldn’t even blame it on the alcohol.
“Alright. I’m through being easy on you people.” Sam said. “If you aren’t game to take this to the next level, I suggest you speak up now because all bets are off. There are no rules. No limitations. So, in other words, it’s going to get hot and nasty in here now.”
