A few minutes later I had made a fresh round of drinks for the ladies. Amber turned the music up and they were all sitting excitedly around the dining table.
"Bank, you should put on some clothes, or else the game REALLY won't be fair" Amber said, patting my butt as I leaned over the table to set the drinks in front of the ladies.
My cheeks burned.
"Uh...I'm playing as well, Miss?"
She nodded.
"Yep. It will look better if Justin isn't the only person losing badly."
"Yes Miss" I said, looking around for my clothes. I saw my pants and button down shirt, but didn't see anything else.
"Uh...Miss...where is my underwear?"
She looked at me with her wicked grin.
"Why, you're wearing them, silly."
Sarah and Claire were watching me with similar expressions.
I groaned. I had to hope that I wouldn't lose as badly as Justin and have to strip to my panties. I couldn't imagine Justin seeing me in them - I knew I'd never live it down.
"Yes Miss" I said, and began to dress.
The girls all chatted as I straightened up the living room. Claire had produced a deck of cards and was shuffling it like a pro, getting a feel for the deck. I watched in awe as she flicked the cards from hand to hand.
"Uh...you may want to cut out the flashy stuff when Justin gets here" Sarah said. "He'll know something's up if he sees you doing that"
Claire shot her a smile.
"Don't worry. I'll pretend I barely know how to play poker." She put on an exaggerated vacuous expression. "I have a seven...is that good?"
Sarah laughed.
Claire's phone dinged on the table in front of her. Amber snatched it up eagerly.
"Oh my god you already have six matches! I told you you looked hot."
Claire and Sarah crowded around her to look at the screen.
"Oh...they're all really cute!" Claire exclaimed.
"Yes. But now we need to see who makes the first cut" Amber said, with her wicked smile.
She thought for a second, then typed something.
Claire opened her mouth in surprise while Sarah laughed.
"You can't ask that!"
Amber tapped something else and I heard the distinct sound of a message being sent.
"I just did. To all of your matches. Let's see how they respond."
Just then I heard then sound of Justin's car pull up in front of the house.
"Bank, don't you think you should have a drink ready for him as well?"
I blanched.
"Yes Miss. Sorry - right away!"
I practically sprinted to the kitchen. Luckily Justin's beverage of choice was a simple beer. I grabbed one from the fridge and hurried to the front door, opening it just as he was about to knock.
I had to look slightly up as I usually did when I stood next to him. I held up the beer.
"Beer, sir?"
His handsome face split into an easy grin as he plucked the can from me and took a swig.
"Hey man. Good to see you again."
He looked over my shoulder at the ladies sitting around the dining table.
"Wow. Amber was right. Her friends are smoking."
I nodded, and then felt foolish for doing so for some reason.
He swept past me into the room. I noticed both Claire and Sarah look him up and down, taking in his tall muscular frame and his boyishly handsome face. He was dressed in jeans and a t shirt that clung tightly to his broad chest and bulging arms.
Amber met my eyes and then flicked her gaze down to his feet.
Oh god. I shook my head slightly, my eyes wide.
I saw Amber's face cloud over slightly and she started to reach for her phone.
I spun to face Justin.
"Uh...can I take you shoes off for you...uh...sir?"
I stumbled over the words, feeling my face burn with humiliation. It was one thing to have to do this for the ladies. Completely another to do it for a guy.
His cocky grin I had learned to hate appeared on his face.
"Sure, Chris. Have at it."
I sank to my knees, glad to hide my face, even if it put me right at the level of his crotch. I remembered my experience in his kitchen a few days ago and couldn't help but notice the bulge of his large cock in the tight jeans. I swallowed and busied myself with unlacing his sneakers, and pulled them off his feet.
Without acknowledging me, he strode into the room. Amber rose from her chair and kissed him, holding his face in her hands. I watched helplessly from my knees as his hands in turn slid under the impossibly short kimono she was wearing and cupped her ass, firmly pulling her against him.
Sarah cleared her throat.
"Ok you two...save it for later. It's poker time."
Claire giggled somewhat nervously and shuffled the cards loudly. She dropped a few of them, intentionally I thought, and apologized as she stuffed the cards back in the deck.
Justin pulled away from Amber with his cocky grin and took a seat across the table from her. Amber straightened her kimono with a satisfied look on her face. I could tell that she enjoyed showing off to the other girls that Justin was hers. I wondered if she was somewhat marking her territory - even if the girls got to see him naked, in the end he belonged to her.
"Come join us, bank" She said, waving to the empty chair across the table. I raised my eyebrows and looked at the chair pointedly - I knew I wasn't allowed to use furniture in her house. Amber gave me a small smile and nodded approvingly. I took a seat as Claire clumsily distributed cards. The three girls were on one side of the table, with Justin and I next to each other on our side.
"So how are we doing this?" Justin asked, sitting back confidently in his chair with his hands laced behind his head.
"Let's keep it simple" Sarah said, picking up her cards. "We don't really need betting rounds. Let's say we can discard two cards each, and then compare hands. Lowest hand loses an article of clothing."
Justin smiled and picked up his cards.
"I can get behind that. I hope you girls are wearing sexy underwear!" He frowned slightly as he shuffled his hand around. "Oh by the way - are we going all the way here?" He looked at Amber and winked. "Or stopping at undies? I don't want any of you girls to chicken out when it comes time to take off your bra or panties." He had that cocky grin again. I almost wanted to see him lose just to wipe that smirk off his face.
"Oh no, we're going all the way" Amber responded, looking at her own cards. "Right girls? And whatever you lose stays off for the rest of the night."
Claire and Sarah nodded as they shifted cards around. Claire smiled quietly to herself.
I gathered up my cards. Not great but not awful. I had a pair of twos. I set down two other random cards and Claire dealt me two. The others all discarded two each.
"Ok - let's see 'em" Amber called out, laying her cards on the table. We all laid our cards out. We all studied each other's hands before Sarah groaned. She had nothing, jack high. Everyone else had at least a pair.
She reached down and stripped off a sock, laying it in the middle of the table.
Claire was already shuffling and handing out cards. If she was doing anything tricky with the cards she was good - I was watching her closely and couldn't tell a thing.
We all looked at our cards again. Justin took a long drink from his beer.
I didn't have anything this hand. We swapped out two cards and my eyebrows shot up. I had a pair of kings. That turned out to be the highest hand. Justin let out a chuckle as we all showed our cards. Amazingly, Sarah had the lowest hand again.
"I'm loving this game so far" Justin said, eyeing Sarah's chest openly. "That shirt's coming off next!"
I saw Sarah give Claire a worried glance as she bent down and stripped off her other sock, adding to the center of the table.
Next hand I didn't have anything, and it turned out to be the low hand on the table. A relieved look crossed Sarahs' face as I took off a sock and added it to Sarah's.
My luck didn't change for the next hand either. Justin was still gloating but was clearly not thrilled when I lost my second sock.
"We're empty" Amber said, tapping her glass. "Why doesn't bank sit out this round and refresh our drinks?"
Everyone nodded at that, so I picked up the empty beer can and the glasses and hurriedly made another round of drinks. When I got back to the table I saw that two more socks had been added to the pile - both Justin's. Sarah was starting to look more confident.
I distributed the drinks and moved to sit down.
"Why don't you adjust the lights, bank?" Amber said, gesturing at the overheads.
"Maybe some nice candlelight? You can sit out one more round."
