here, I thought it'd be fun to play a little game of Truth
or Dare."
"What?" I said, not sounding impressed at all. It might
have been a little more fun were it not for the fact that
my ex was sitting in the hot tub with us.
Rose glanced at me out of the corner of her eye and
smirked. "Oh, what's the matter, Marcus? Partied out?"
"Isn't that a little high school for us?"
"No!" Dilion answered. "It sounds very adult, and I'm
interested."
"Now that you got your retirement money, you growing
old on us?"
I knew what this would likely devolve into, given the
amount of collective alcohol that had been consumed
and the fact that I'd had sex with all but one of the
women in this tub. Still, Jessica being here was bad
enough, but I didn't particularly want to see Jonah or
Dillon getting it on with any of these ladies. It wasn't
that I wasn't against them fucking them. I noticed how
much time Jonah and Honey had spent around each
other, and I certainly didn't have a claim on Rose. I
didn't know Kelly at all. Jessica doing anything with
either of them would just be too weird. And Erin... I
wasn't sure liked the potential possibility of Erin doing
anything with them. I'd said as much on our first
meeting. However, we weren't necessarily in a
relationship, and we discussed the possibility of
revisiting our arrangement if she was ever interested in
a relationship. All that aside... I had just never thought
about the idea of seeing my friends having sex.
I looked around the tub. "You're all good with this?"
Dillon had already made his opinion known.
"It's just a game, Marcus. If anyone gets uncomfortable,
we can stop whenever, Jonah said. Honey grinned and
nodded. Kelly simply whooped in acknowledgment
I eyed Erin, and she met my gaze through half-lidded
eyes as she reclined in the hot tub lounger, wearing a
slight smirk. I quickly cut my eyes over to Jessica and
back to my assistant, a non-verbal way of asking if
she'd been responsible for this. I wasn't sure if Erin
understood the question; her smirk deepened, and I
detected a subtle nod.
"You good with this?" I asked, looking at Jess.
"If you are," Jessica sald, doing a lousy job of feigning
casual coolness when I could tell she was a little on
edge.
"Alright," I said resignedly as I looked back at Rose.
"Any rules?"
"Yep," she said. "The challenger can't ask the person
challenged a direct question about themselves if they
pick Truth, and if it's a dare, they can't dare them to do
something directly to themselves. Like, if you picked
dare, I couldn't dare you to kiss me."
"That's a good rule," Kelly said.
"Aw, really?" Dillon said.
"Yeah, okay." I nodded.
"Second," Rose said, "If you refuse to answer a question
or do a dare, you have to leave the hot tub. Everyone
gets one pass, though. You can use it to either refuse to
answer or complete a dare. You also have the option to
reflect it back to the challenger. If it's bounced a second
time, it can't retum to the original challenger. It has to
be someone else."
"So," Jonah said, "if someone dares something and you
use your pass to make them do the same dare, they
can use their pass to make someone else do it, but it
can't go back to the person who just deflected?"
"Yes," Rose said.
"Interesting!" Erin said, her eyes suddenly opening all
the way. "I like that!"
She would.
"Yeah," Rose said. "It makes the game fun. If you don't
have a pass. though, you have to do the thing or leave.
Third, no question or dare can be used twice."
Jonah said, "Okay, that's weird, but yeah... I can see
where' it'd keep things creative.
"Right," Rose said. "And last, If a person has been
challenged, they can't be challenged again until two
more people have gone. That's it! Everyone good?"
There were murmurs and nods around the tub, but no
one seemed to have a problem with the rules. I noticed
someone with some foresight had placed several drinks
on a table along one edge of the hot tub near me, and
I grabbed a beer, passing a few around to people who
asked. I needed a little more social lubrication if i was
going to do this.
"Alright," Rose sald after sipping her fresh beer. "Since
girls outnumber the boys, girls get to ask first."
"What? Why? Since there's fewer boys shouldn't they
get to ask first?" Dillon asked.
"Nope," Rose said, looking slightly annoyed at Dillon.
"Kelli, since you know Marcus the least, how about you
start.
"Hm," Kelli said, looking around at the group. "I guess I'll
start with the cute boy on my left. Truth or Dare, cute
boy?"
"Truth," Dillon said.
"Boo!" Honey bellowed and giggled as she leaned back
against Jonah.
"No way!" Dillon said. "I'm not breaking the seal!"
"Okay," Kelli said. "If you could have sex with anyone in
the hot tub, who would it be?"
Dillon had just taken a sip of beer and almost spat it
out. Alcohol dribbled off his chin, and he swiped it aside.
"You're gonna start off with that?"
"What?" Kelly grinned innocently. "It's a harmless
question."
"No it's not! It'll be weird for whoever I name, and
everyone else will be offended!" Dillon said.
"I won't," Rose said.
"I would," Honey quipped.
Dillon sighed. "Fine. I'd sleep with any of you."
"Boo!" Honey said again.
"You have to name someone!" Kelly said.
"Nope. Your question was, If could have sex with
anyone in the hot tub, who would it be, and I gave you
an answer. Don't forget to leave a Comment
