Fiction: Last Night at Comicageddon

MetalMike · 08-22-2022, 04:10 PM

“Well that’s it then. End of an Era”

Sarah turned the key in the door as she said it, having watched the clock tick down to five thirty on the very last day that Comicageddon, Wellingthorpe’s best (and only) comic book and movie merchandise store, would welcome people through its doors. I couldn’t believe my luck when Comicageddon first opened three years ago just as I was starting college. The small town didn’t even have a cinema until I was ten. I hung out here nearly every day and when I didn’t get the grades I needed to go to university – maybe because I was hanging out here nearly every day – I applied for a job here instead. I knew it couldn’t last forever. Wellingthorpe was far too small a town to support a niche shop like this and even with the footfall from the surrounding villages it was already struggling to break even. But still, today hurt. I was going to miss the daily parade of awkward geeks, anime obsesses schoolgirls with dyed hair and overweight middle-aged men trying to relive their childhood. Those were my people.

“Hey Mike, you gonna help or what?” Alex called over to me as he pulled the cash tray from the till and dumped it on the counter, shaking me out of my reverie.

“Huh?” I replied with typical eloquency.

“You and me to cash up, Sarah and Em will start on inventory”

I asked myself why I’d volunteered to help on the last day when I knew that the final stock check would take half the evening. Then I caught sight of Em, clipboard in hand, starting to count the books in the graphic novel section and I remembered why. She had to stand on tip toes even with the help of a footstool and that pose, along with the yoga pants she insisted on always wearing, accentuated the cheeks that me and the lads had named ‘ass of the century’ when we were in her year at school. Not that we’d ever let her know. Those yoga pants were definitely why I had volunteered.

“Enjoying the view?”

I hadn’t noticed Sarah come up right beside me and nearly jumped out of my skin when she asked. She smirked playfully and raised her eyebrows and I realised I’d been caught staring.

“Huh?” I replied, at least maintaining consistency with my lack of verbal talent.

“Men!” She tutted playfully before walking over to join Em.

Once I’d convinced myself that in fact not all of my blood had rushed to my cheeks and that I still had enough blood in my legs to make them work, I grabbed the cash drawer from the second till and joined Alex in the back office.

MetalMike · 08-22-2022, 04:12 PM

“Psst” hissed Alex as we were finishing up and putting the cash into the safe. I glanced over and saw him reach into his bag pull out a bottle of vodka. “For later” he said with a wink. I grinned at him and nodded. It was a habit that Alex and I had gotten into during stock take weeks. As a treat for having to stay late we let ourselves have a cheeky beer in the back office. Alex had clearly stepped up his game in celebration of the final time.

I hadn’t known Alex well before he joined the staff, one year after me. He’d been in the year above me in high school and we’d never hung out but I’d always been jealous of him. He was the kind of guy that developed early and then seemingly never stopped. He was 6’ by the time he was 15, played rugby at county level and was always dating the popular girls. Most irritatingly of all he had about as much ego as he did body fat – which was to say almost none. He was actually really sweet. Since working with him I’d learned that he hadn’t ‘gone to prison for kicking someone’s head in’, the popular rumour when he’d gone AWOL from town for a year after high school but had actually moved in with his gran up north for a while to help her when his grandad died. He only moved back down once she’d been moved into a care home. His one and only vice was that he did like to have a drink. But I was more than OK with that because so did I.

“What do you think of Sarah?” Alex asked me out of nowhere.

“Huh?” OK this is getting ridiculous. C’mon Mike, you got top grades in English, sort yourself out.
“What do you mean?” that’s better, actual words.

Alex squirmed a little and looked slightly nervous. I couldn’t remember ever seeing him like that.

“You think if I asked her to go out she’d be up for it?” He enquired.

That loveable moron. I’m not gay, not even a little bi – at least I don’t think so. There was that one dream where… not now mike – but even I can admit that Alex is a hunk. Wide shoulders with arms thick enough that you know you’d feel safe in them but not so bulging as to look scary. A classic action-hero jawline and eyes such a piercing blue that I actually had to ask him once if he wore coloured contacts.

“Yeh mate, I think she’d be down for that” I informed him.

I didn’t know for sure, but all the girls at school had fancied Alex so the odds were in his favour. Then again, Sarah hadn’t gone to our school. She moved to Wellinghtorpe two years ago when she was 19 after dropping out of Uni. None of us knew why because she kept mostly to herself. Some of the regulars to the shop used to joke that she was a witch. They didn’t mean it in a nasty way. In fact I think some of the girls from the highschool were in awe more than anything. I even saw a few of them change up their look to copy Sarah, ditching their manga T-shirts in favour of all black clothes and dark eye shadow. If Sarah noticed too, she didn’t say anything. But then Sarah rarely said anything beyond the occasional drily sarcastic observation. Truth be told I found her a little scary. Even though she was shorter than me and skinny as a rake, underneath that long black mane of hair there was a quiet intensity in her eyes.

“Cool” Replied Alex quietly with a sheepish smile. Then, rising from his chair and heading to the door
“Anyway, they’ll for sure be pissed if they think we’re hiding in here while they have all the fun counting them books. C’mon lad”

MetalMike · 08-22-2022, 04:15 PM

“I thought that would never end!” declared Em, flopping dramatically face down onto one of the bean bags in the comics den at the back of the store and feigning snoring.

It had taken us three hours to check and double check the stock before submitting the final figures. By the end of it I think I’d gone book-blind and everywhere I looked I saw vertical lines. Counting the stock in the merch section would’ve been easier, but Em was doing books so I gravitated over to here. She does this thing when she’s counting where she sticks her tongue out to count then does this cute little nod to herself when she writes a number down before tucking her pencil behind her ear so just the rubber tip pokes out of her platinum-blond hair like a little clit – bloody hell Mike really? That’s the first thing that comes to your mind?

“Soooooooo… what now?” Em’s question was muffled due the fact that she hadn’t moved her face out of the bean bag. I admired the way her blonde curls flowed down her arching back and how her slim waste widened at that award-worthy butt. Did she know how sexy she looked in that position? I shook my head clear.

“Wait here” I spoke as I walked first into the back room and then back to the comics den, picking up a couple of mugs from the side on my way.
“Surprise!” I declared. Brandishing the bottle of vodka I’d taken from Alex’s bag towards Em’s face.

She half opened one eye, clocked the bottle and then shot up with a wide grin on her face.

“You dark horse, Mike! You’ve been holding out on me” she playfully punched my arm then snatched the bottle from my hands and quickly poured a glug of vodka into each mug.

“It’s Alex’s but he won’t mind” I reached for a mug only to have my hand smacked away. I tingled where Em had touched me and not from pain. I raised my eyebrows in her direction inquisitively.

“Let’s play shot, paper, scissor!” Em commanded, bouncing up and down excitedly on the bean bag.

I raised one eyebrow even higher to convey I didn’t understand, trying hard not to look down at her breasts whose larger than average size my peripheral vision told telling me was being made very apparent from all the bouncing. Em paused her bouncing to excitedly explain.

“It’s rock paper scissor but the loser has to do a shot”

“Is that is?”

Em frowned. “OK fine, it’s rock paper scissor but the loser has to do a shot annnndd… umm.. and tell a secret. OK it’s one two three go, ready?” then before I could open my mouth to reply she started clapping her fist into her palm.

“1, 2, 3”
Racing to catch up I slapped my hand down flat on three. Em saw this, raised he hand a final time and came down with split fingers. I frowned.

“I said after three dummy” Em said in way of explanation. “typical guy, coming too soon” And before I could protest she handed me a mug declaring “and scissors beats paper so drink up”.

“Umm.. OK. But I don’t really have a secret” I said as I put the cup to my lips.

Em gave me a very unconvinced look then said “OK then tell me how you lost your virginity”.

I spluttered vodka back into the mug as I heard what she said. Where did THAT come from?! But Em gently put a finger to the bottom of the mug and tipped it to force the drink back in and held eye contact until I swallowed.

“Huh?” I finally said,

“How and when did you first do it?” Em said expectantly.

“Umm. So you remember prom in highschool?”

“duh”

“Right yeh, so me and the guys went as a gang without dates”

“uh-huh. The nerd crew” Em deadpanned

“What??” I asked. Is that what she though of me?

Em broke out in a grin “I’m kidding, I’m kidding. What next?”

“Well some of the girls had been sneaking drinks in the toilets and after a while they came over to us and asked us onto the dance floor. I was dancing with Hannah Morton for a while and she led me outside after a slow dance. To that little woods that was behind the marquee? Well we were making out for a while when put her hands down my boxers. She grabbed my cock, stopped kissing me and asked if I wanted to have some fun. I didn’t really know what she meant, I was already having fun but I said yes. She dropped to her knees and undid my belt. I thought I was going to get my first blowjob. She undid my belt and pulled my trousers and boxers to my ankles. I felt really exposed and with her fully clothed part of me thought maybe this was a prank and she was going to get her phone out so I was about to bend down and pull my trousers up when I saw her reach into her clutch but she pulled out a condom not a phone. She looked up at me and gave a quick smile before ripping open the packet and rolling the condom down over my cock. I was worried I was going to cum while her hands were working that condom onto my cock but I held it back. She stood up, turned around so her back was to me and with one hand on a tree she pulled up her dress to above her ass. I had barely registered that she didn’t have any underwear on before she reached back for my cock and guided it towards her pussy. She looked back over her shoulder and told me to put it in her. And that was how it happened.”

“Ho. Lee. Shit. I don’t think I’ve heard you talk that much in all the time I’ve known you Mike” Em said, eyes wide “I guess we just needed to find something you were passionate about hey?” Her words, clearly aimed to make me blush, hit their target. Truth be told I was thankful to be blushing in the hopes the blood would rush to my cheeks and away from my dick that had started to stiffen as I recalled the tale. I was thankful when Em leaned over from her beanbag to refill my mug so I didn’t have to uncross my legs and do it myself.

“Ok let’s go again” Em said.

MetalMike · 08-22-2022, 04:17 PM

Three seconds later and I had used my rock to smash her scissors.

“Ughh.. “ Em groaned “OK my secret is… I’ve never actually technically lost my virginity”

“Wait, what?!” I replied sceptically

“I’ve done… stuff. Plenty of stuff. Just not that exact thing”

“Interesting” Both of us turned to the entrance arch to the den so find the source of the voice. Sarah was looking at Em with an eyebrow raised.

Alex was stood next to her with two mugs in hand. “Got started without us, hey?” he said with mock hurt in his voice. “Pour us out a bit then” he said as he kicked two more beanbags in to place to face us.

“Alright but you have to play” Em responded as she poured and Alex sat down “It’s shot paper scissor, like rock paper scissor but if you lose you drink and tell a secret”

Sarah, yet to sit down, paused for a second before a small smile crept into the corners of her mouth.

“I have a better idea” she said matter-of-factly and walked over to one of the displays, picked up a pack of playing cards, unwrapped them and began to shuffle.

“Mike you’re clubs, Em diamonds, Alex is hearts and I’m spades. We take it in turns to pick a card. Whoever’s suit is drawn has to drink and pick truth or dare” Sarah declared, placing the deck in between us and grabbing the bottle to pour a shot into her own mug before sitting down. She did it with such authority that the rest of us just looked at each and shrugged acceptance. Alex reached for a card first but paused as his fingers rested on it.

“What if I pick a joker?”

Sarah showed how sharp she was when she almost immediately replied “Jokers mean you get to come up with a new rule” and then showed something else about her that I hadn’t seen before, a kind of mischief flashing in her eyes “and we have to agree that we don’t talk about tonight to anyone”. Everyone frowned a little at that but murmured their assent. Alex turned over the card.
Five of spades.

“Okie doke then Sarah, down the hatch” said Alex, then watched Sarah taken the shot back without even wincing before “truth or dare”

“dare” Sarah challenged.

Alex gave a small laugh “Fine then. I dare you to strip down to your underwear” he said in a tone and with an expression that showed he fully expected to be shot down. His expression changed when Sarah gave a small smile, stood up and unbuttoned her ankle-length skirt.

She kept eye contact with Alex, whose mouth dropped open when she pushed the skirt down over her hips and let it fall to her ankles, revealing the black lace thong underneath. She casually stepped out of the skirt at the same time as pulling her black jumper turtleneck jumped over her head to show that all she’d had underneath all day was a black lace bra to match her thong. The shock of seeing Sarah’s pale flesh, which had always been covered by long sleeves and skirts up until this point was exaggerated by the reveal that intricate, vibrant tattoos ran along her right arm, side and thigh.
Sarah stood defiantly with her hands on her hips and we all stared on in a silence that was eventually broken by Em whispering “They’re so pretty. Like art”. Then Alex, regaining some of his senses and his bravado along with it adding “yeh, you’re a work of art alright”. That broken the spell and we all relaxed a little as Sarah fought Alex’s grin with a vaguely withering look and sat down.

There was another awkward pause during which I found myself looking over Sarah’s tattoos.
“Mike.”
“huh?” I realised it wasn’t the first time that my name had been said and I look around at the group feeling my cheeks flush. But from Alex’s gesture at the deck I realised that I was just being reminded it was my turn. I tentatively reached for a card.
Five of clubs.

I choked down a swig of vodka and refilled my mug before frowning and looking at Sarah to ask “What happens now? I picked my own suit.”

MetalMike · 08-22-2022, 04:20 PM

Again without even pausing Sarah came up with a solution and told me “you get to pick the person who asks”

“Oh ok.. umm…” I mumbled eeny meeny miney mo and landed on Sarah, shrugging while I pointed at her “and I pick truth”

Sarah smiled politely, put a finger to her lips while she thought for a second, eyeing me up and down then asked “What’s the kinkiest porn you’ve ever cum to?”

“Oh I don’t know. I don’t really go for anything too weird. Maybe I guess this one time I saw a video of a girl using a strapon on another girl”

There was a pause and Em reached for the deck.

“Wait.” It was Sarah, still looking at me. A short pause while she squinted at me and I started to sweat. “He’s lying”.

Shit. How can she tell? Em and Alex were looking at me expectantly. I opened and closed my mouth a few times and realised my window for protesting my innocence had closed.

“Shit OK. I’m not like, saying I’m totally into it or anything but I maybe watched a video of a woman who had her head and hands put one of those like medieval wooden things. You know like where people would have rotten tomatoes thrown at them”

“Oh. Stocks” Alex chipped in

“No that’s for feet. It’s a pillory” Sarah corrected. Ignoring the looks from everyone.

“Er yeh. So she was in that pillory thing and this guy in a mask started spanking her but then got a cane and started hitting her butt with that. But I mean like really going for it and she was crying and it went on for ages and her butt was almost purple at the end and I kinda felt bad on that one”

A brief pause then Em reached for a card.
Three of spades.

“I’ll go truth this time” said Sarah after her swig and before Em even asked.
Em’s mouth twisted to the side adorably as she thought for a second and then asked “How much did your tattoos hurt?”

“A lot”

“How did you get through it? I don’t think I’d cope”

“You might surprise yourself. Pain and pleasure aren’t all that different” purred Sarah.

I expected Em to be shocked or protest but instead she blushed at this and looked at the floor. I didn’t have time to think that over because Alex eagerly snatched up a card.
Four of spades.

Alex looked at Sarah, grinning expectantly after she knocked back yet another shot.
“Oh no. I’m not picking dare again until you have” Sarah said slyly “Ask me a truth”
Alex was clearly disappointed but thought for a second then asked “You’re obviously comfortable in your body. How many nudes have you sent to people?”
A slightly smug smile appeared on Sarah’s face as she replied “None. I’ll accept them, but I won’t give them out. This is for live action only” gesturing playfully at her body while reaching for a card, giving me a clear view into her cleavage as she bent forwards. The alcohol was starting to loosen everyone up.

She turned over a Joker.

MetalMike · 08-22-2022, 04:24 PM

“New rule” declared Sarah “If you draw Jack, Queen, King or Ace it has to be dare”

I was about to protest but realised nobody else was, so kept quiet as I nervously reached for a card.
Two of clubs. Me again?! This time I picked Alex for a truth, reasoning that means everyone had given me one each. The vodka went down more easily now.

“Alright mate, be honest” Alex began “How many times have you jerked off in one day. What’s your record?”

“Five” I mumbled

“What? Speak up mate”

“Five times” I said more clearly

“Five!? You must’ve damn near ripped your bloody cock off!” His laughter spreading infectiously through the group, even Sarah smiled. “Fair play though. That’s a respectable score”

“Alright, meeeee now” Em brightly said stretching forwards.

“Oooh queen!” She said excitedly before looking at me “Of clubs”.

My heart skipped beat. Uh oh. This was the first dare I’d ever done in real life. I was nervously watching Em as she chewed over her options and I sipped at my drink.

“Alright, fair is fair. I think that you should strip down to your underwear too”
I quickly pulled off my shoes and socks, slipped off my sweats and shirt and sat back down, resting my hands over my crotch.

“Whoa where’s the fire cowboy, what’s the rush?” Alex asked.
“Just getting it over with” I said. But really I was taking advantage of the fact that nerves had made my cock go flaccid for the first time since Sarah had pulled down her skirt and I wanted to cover up before I risked getting a boner in front of everyone.

Alex shrugged then gave a short drumroll using his hands on the floor before flipping over a card to reveal a king of hearts.
“Ah shit” Alex exclaimed. He pointed around the group. First at Sarah “No way” he said, causing Sarah to smile mischievously and shrug in a way that said that was a smart move. Then at me “hmmm… might want revenge. Never trust a man in his pants” finally landing on Em “So m’lady, what doest thou want me to do?”

“get naked” Em blurted straight away, causing Alex to do a double take and nearly choke on his drink.

“Wait what? That’s not fair!”

Em giggled at Alex’s reaction and rocked back and forth excitedly on her bean bag. Nearly falling off, eliciting giggles from the rest of the group. That vodka had definitely created a nice buzz in the group but obviously hit Em a little harder than the rest.

“Seriously?” Alex asked finally.

“Yep. You… “ she gestured dramatically at Alex’s face “picked me because you thought I was going to be a wimp. But I’m not a wimp. And you...” gesturing now towards his crotch “Need to get little Alex out to say hello”.

“God dammit” Alex said while pulling off his shoes. “You know there’ll be consequences for this?” But Em just shrugged and kept rocking back and forth with a grin on her face as Alex began unbuttoning his shirt, revealing his smooth pecs first and then six-pack abs.

“Do you shave your chest?!” I thought to myself but also accidentally very much out loud.

“Oh my god he does!” Em said excitedly “Or do you wax? I wonder what else is shaved” she teased.

Alex paused for a second at that and went silent.

“No way” Em said through her grin “I was joking. Oh goodness” with tears in her eyes from laughing.

Alex folded his shirt and put it beside his bean bag before sliding his jeans down to his ankles and putting his thumbs into the waistband of his loose boxer shorts. He paused, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Before could see if he was really going to slide them off he yelped in shock and opened his eyes. Sarah had reached over and whipped Alex’s boxers all the way down. He was frozen in place for a second.

“Hmm. It really does make it look bigger” Sarah mused while looking over at Alex’s completely exposed junk. Em had practically fallen off her bean bag laughing at the look on Alex’s face. He quickly sat down and covered up with his hands but there was a smile on his face. Either from the fun mood in the room or from Sarah’s comment.

Sarah turned over the next card. A seven of clubs. I was starting to feel a little victimised as I poured out and sipped at my next drink.

“Mike. How many times have you jerked off at work”
I started shaking my head and opened my mouth to reply but caught Sarah squinting at me the same way she had earlier. Is she some kind of human lie detector??

“ughhhhh… “ I really didn’t want to say “Twice. And that’s all I’ll say about it”
I reached for the next card and saw Em staring at my with a hand over her grinning mouth, eyebrows raised in surprise.

“What?” I asked defensively

“Was I here when you did that?” she asked

“I said that’s all I’ll say about it” I responded quickly and necked the rest of my vodka before flipping over the next card. Ten of hearts.

“Truth or dare mate?” I directed at Alex.

He looked down at his naked body and said “err.. truth. Bloody obviously”

“Alright. Have you… hmm.. ah I know. Have you ever worn women’s clothes?”

“What? No mate. Not my thing. Besides, where would I find a dress to fit” and he jokingly flexed one of his admittedly impressive biceps before reaching for his drink. I glanced at Sarah to see if she thought he was lying but couldn’t see any reaction.

“Yeh me either” I mumbled.

Em and lifted up a six of spades. She looked over at Sarah.

Em paused her bouncing to excitedly explain. “It’s rock paper scissor but the loser has to do a shot” “Is that is?” Em frowned. “OK fine, it’s rock paper scissor but the loser has to do a shot annnndd… umm.. and tell a secret. OK it’s one two three go, ready?” then before I could open my mouth to reply she started clapping her fist into her palm. “1, 2, 3” Racing to catch up I slapped my hand down flat on three. Em saw this, raised he hand a final time and came down with split fingers. I frowned. “I said after three dummy” Em said in way of explanation. “typical guy, coming too soon” And before I could protest she handed me a mug declaring “and scissors beats paper so drink up”. “Umm.. OK. But I don’t really have a secret” I said as I put the cup to my lips. Em gave me a very unconvinced look then said “OK then tell me how you lost your virginity”. I spluttered vodka back into the mug as I heard what she said. Where did THAT come from?! But Em gently put a finger to the bottom of the mug and tipped it to force the drink back in and held eye contact until I swallowed. “Huh?” I finally said, “How and when did you first do it?” Em said expectantly. “Umm. So you remember prom in highschool?” “duh” “Right yeh, so me and the guys went as a gang without dates” “uh-huh. The nerd crew” Em deadpanned “What??” I asked. Is that what she though of me? Em broke out in a grin “I’m kidding, I’m kidding. What next?” “Well some of the girls had been sneaking drinks in the toilets and after a while they came over to us and asked us onto the dance floor. I was dancing with Hannah Morton for a while and she led me outside after a slow dance. To that little woods that was behind the marquee? Well we were making out for a while when put her hands down my boxers. She grabbed my cock, stopped kissing me and asked if I wanted to have some fun. I didn’t really know what she meant, I was already having fun but I said yes. She dropped to her knees and undid my belt. I thought I was going to get my first blowjob. She undid my belt and pulled my trousers and boxers to my ankles. I felt really exposed and with her fully clothed part of me thought maybe this was a prank and she was going to get her phone out so I was about to bend down and pull my trousers up when I saw her reach into her clutch but she pulled out a condom not a phone. She looked up at me and gave a quick smile before ripping open the packet and rolling the condom down over my cock. I was worried I was going to cum while her hands were working that condom onto my cock but I held it back. She stood up, turned around so her back was to me and with one hand on a tree she pulled up her dress to above her ass. I had barely registered that she didn’t have any underwear on before she reached back for my cock and guided it towards her pussy. She looked back over her shoulder and told me to put it in her. And that was how it happened.” “Ho. Lee. Shit. I don’t think I’ve heard you talk that much in all the time I’ve known you Mike” Em said, eyes wide “I guess we just needed to find something you were passionate about hey?” Her words, clearly aimed to make me blush, hit their target. Truth be told I was thankful to be blushing in the hopes the blood would rush to my cheeks and away from my dick that had started to stiffen as I recalled the tale. I was thankful when Em leaned over from her beanbag to refill my mug so I didn’t have to uncross my legs and do it myself. “Ok let’s go again” Em said.

Plenty of stuff. Just not that exact thing” “Interesting” Both of us turned to the entrance arch to the den so find the source of the voice. Sarah was looking at Em with an eyebrow raised. Alex was stood next to her with two mugs in hand. “Got started without us, hey?” he said with mock hurt in his voice. “Pour us out a bit then” he said as he kicked two more beanbags in to place to face us. “Alright but you have to play” Em responded as she poured and Alex sat down “It’s shot paper scissor, like rock paper scissor but if you lose you drink and tell a secret” Sarah, yet to sit down, paused for a second before a small smile crept into the corners of her mouth. “I have a better idea” she said matter-of-factly and walked over to one of the displays, picked up a pack of playing cards, unwrapped them and began to shuffle. “Mike you’re clubs, Em diamonds, Alex is hearts and I’m spades. We take it in turns to pick a card. Whoever’s suit is drawn has to drink and pick truth or dare” Sarah declared, placing the deck in between us and grabbing the bottle to pour a shot into her own mug before sitting down. She did it with such authority that the rest of us just looked at each and shrugged acceptance. Alex reached for a card first but paused as his fingers rested on it. “What if I pick a joker?” Sarah showed how sharp she was when she almost immediately replied “Jokers mean you get to come up with a new rule” and then showed something else about her that I hadn’t seen before, a kind of mischief flashing in her eyes “and we have to agree that we don’t talk about tonight to anyone”. Everyone frowned a little at that but murmured their assent. Alex turned over the card. Five of spades. “Okie doke then Sarah, down the hatch” said Alex, then watched Sarah taken the shot back without even wincing before “truth or dare” “dare” Sarah challenged. Alex gave a small laugh “Fine then. I dare you to strip down to your underwear” he said in a tone and with an expression that showed he fully expected to be shot down. His expression changed when Sarah gave a small smile, stood up and unbuttoned her ankle-length skirt. She kept eye contact with Alex, whose mouth dropped open when she pushed the skirt down over her hips and let it fall to her ankles, revealing the black lace thong underneath. She casually stepped out of the skirt at the same time as pulling her black jumper turtleneck jumped over her head to show that all she’d had underneath all day was a black lace bra to match her thong. The shock of seeing Sarah’s pale flesh, which had always been covered by long sleeves and skirts up until this point was exaggerated by the reveal that intricate, vibrant tattoos ran along her right arm, side and thigh. Sarah stood defiantly with her hands on her hips and we all stared on in a silence that was eventually broken by Em whispering “They’re so pretty. Like art”. Then Alex, regaining some of his senses and his bravado along with it adding “yeh, you’re a work of art alright”. That broken the spell and we all relaxed a little as Sarah fought Alex’s grin with a vaguely withering look and sat down. There was another awkward pause during which I found myself looking over Sarah’s tattoos. “Mike.” “huh?” I realised it wasn’t the first time that my name had been said and I look around at the group feeling my cheeks flush. But from Alex’s gesture at the deck I realised that I was just being reminded it was my turn. I tentatively reached for a card. Five of clubs. I choked down a swig of vodka and refilled my mug before frowning and looking at Sarah to ask “What happens now? I picked my own suit.”

I don’t really go for anything too weird. Maybe I guess this one time I saw a video of a girl using a strapon on another girl” There was a pause and Em reached for the deck. “Wait.” It was Sarah, still looking at me. A short pause while she squinted at me and I started to sweat. “He’s lying”. Shit. How can she tell? Em and Alex were looking at me expectantly. I opened and closed my mouth a few times and realised my window for protesting my innocence had closed. “Shit OK. I’m not like, saying I’m totally into it or anything but I maybe watched a video of a woman who had her head and hands put one of those like medieval wooden things. You know like where people would have rotten tomatoes thrown at them” “Oh. Stocks” Alex chipped in “No that’s for feet. It’s a pillory” Sarah corrected. Ignoring the looks from everyone. “Er yeh. So she was in that pillory thing and this guy in a mask started spanking her but then got a cane and started hitting her butt with that. But I mean like really going for it and she was crying and it went on for ages and her butt was almost purple at the end and I kinda felt bad on that one” A brief pause then Em reached for a card. Three of spades. “I’ll go truth this time” said Sarah after her swig and before Em even asked. Em’s mouth twisted to the side adorably as she thought for a second and then asked “How much did your tattoos hurt?” “A lot” “How did you get through it? I don’t think I’d cope” “You might surprise yourself. Pain and pleasure aren’t all that different” purred Sarah. I expected Em to be shocked or protest but instead she blushed at this and looked at the floor. I didn’t have time to think that over because Alex eagerly snatched up a card. Four of spades. Alex looked at Sarah, grinning expectantly after she knocked back yet another shot. “Oh no. I’m not picking dare again until you have” Sarah said slyly “Ask me a truth” Alex was clearly disappointed but thought for a second then asked “You’re obviously comfortable in your body. How many nudes have you sent to people?” A slightly smug smile appeared on Sarah’s face as she replied “None. I’ll accept them, but I won’t give them out. This is for live action only” gesturing playfully at her body while reaching for a card, giving me a clear view into her cleavage as she bent forwards. The alcohol was starting to loosen everyone up. She turned over a Joker.

Two of clubs. Me again?! This time I picked Alex for a truth, reasoning that means everyone had given me one each. The vodka went down more easily now. “Alright mate, be honest” Alex began “How many times have you jerked off in one day. What’s your record?” “Five” I mumbled “What? Speak up mate” “Five times” I said more clearly “Five!? You must’ve damn near ripped your bloody cock off!” His laughter spreading infectiously through the group, even Sarah smiled. “Fair play though. That’s a respectable score” “Alright, meeeee now” Em brightly said stretching forwards. “Oooh queen!” She said excitedly before looking at me “Of clubs”. My heart skipped beat. Uh oh. This was the first dare I’d ever done in real life. I was nervously watching Em as she chewed over her options and I sipped at my drink. “Alright, fair is fair. I think that you should strip down to your underwear too” I quickly pulled off my shoes and socks, slipped off my sweats and shirt and sat back down, resting my hands over my crotch. “Whoa where’s the fire cowboy, what’s the rush?” Alex asked. “Just getting it over with” I said. But really I was taking advantage of the fact that nerves had made my cock go flaccid for the first time since Sarah had pulled down her skirt and I wanted to cover up before I risked getting a boner in front of everyone. Alex shrugged then gave a short drumroll using his hands on the floor before flipping over a card to reveal a king of hearts. “Ah shit” Alex exclaimed. He pointed around the group. First at Sarah “No way” he said, causing Sarah to smile mischievously and shrug in a way that said that was a smart move. Then at me “hmmm… might want revenge. Never trust a man in his pants” finally landing on Em “So m’lady, what doest thou want me to do?” “get naked” Em blurted straight away, causing Alex to do a double take and nearly choke on his drink. “Wait what? That’s not fair!” Em giggled at Alex’s reaction and rocked back and forth excitedly on her bean bag. Nearly falling off, eliciting giggles from the rest of the group. That vodka had definitely created a nice buzz in the group but obviously hit Em a little harder than the rest. “Seriously?” Alex asked finally. “Yep. You… “ she gestured dramatically at Alex’s face “picked me because you thought I was going to be a wimp. But I’m not a wimp. And you...” gesturing now towards his crotch “Need to get little Alex out to say hello”. “God dammit” Alex said while pulling off his shoes. “You know there’ll be consequences for this?” But Em just shrugged and kept rocking back and forth with a grin on her face as Alex began unbuttoning his shirt, revealing his smooth pecs first and then six-pack abs. “Do you shave your chest?!” I thought to myself but also accidentally very much out loud. “Oh my god he does!” Em said excitedly “Or do you wax? I wonder what else is shaved” she teased. Alex paused for a second at that and went silent. “No way” Em said through her grin “I was joking. Oh goodness” with tears in her eyes from laughing. Alex folded his shirt and put it beside his bean bag before sliding his jeans down to his ankles and putting his thumbs into the waistband of his loose boxer shorts. He paused, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Before could see if he was really going to slide them off he yelped in shock and opened his eyes. Sarah had reached over and whipped Alex’s boxers all the way down. He was frozen in place for a second. “Hmm. It really does make it look bigger” Sarah mused while looking over at Alex’s completely exposed junk. Em had practically fallen off her bean bag laughing at the look on Alex’s face. He quickly sat down and covered up with his hands but there was a smile on his face. Either from the fun mood in the room or from Sarah’s comment. Sarah turned over the next card. A seven of clubs. I was starting to feel a little victimised as I poured out and sipped at my next drink. “Mike. How many times have you jerked off at work” I started shaking my head and opened my mouth to reply but caught Sarah squinting at me the same way she had earlier. Is she some kind of human lie detector?? “ughhhhh… “ I really didn’t want to say “Twice. And that’s all I’ll say about it” I reached for the next card and saw Em staring at my with a hand over her grinning mouth, eyebrows raised in surprise. “What?” I asked defensively “Was I here when you did that?” she asked “I said that’s all I’ll say about it” I responded quickly and necked the rest of my vodka before flipping over the next card. Ten of hearts. “Truth or dare mate?” I directed at Alex. He looked down at his naked body and said “err.. truth. Bloody obviously” “Alright. Have you… hmm.. ah I know. Have you ever worn women’s clothes?” “What? No mate. Not my thing. Besides, where would I find a dress to fit” and he jokingly flexed one of his admittedly impressive biceps before reaching for his drink. I glanced at Sarah to see if she thought he was lying but couldn’t see any reaction. “Yeh me either” I mumbled. Em and lifted up a six of spades. She looked over at Sarah.
