Half an hour later we were settled around the coffee table with Jackie and Brenda lounging comfortably on the couch, Anne on the armchair and myself a little less comfortably on the ottoman, all with cards in our hands and stacks of colored plastic chips in front of us. I was just struggling with myself whether I should fold immediately or wait out the first round to see what the others were doing, and I critically eyed my pair of tens when Anne's foot tapped mine twice.
My eyes widened, but the look that she sent me told me that the signal was deliberate. I gulped. That had been part of the harebrained scheme to put those photos into Jason's possession. The glass of the pictures on the wall sometimes allowed Anne to glimpse the cards of our co-players, and our plan was that she'd signal me with a single tap on the foot to fold, twice to raise, and thrice to go all in. That way we could make sure that I lost and, once I had no chips left, could offer the photos and myself into the wager.
"C'mon, Bunnie," Jackie had already adapted the use of my nickname, though it dripped from her lips in a condescending fashion, "either fold or raise. I've still got a party to attend tonight."
"Okay, okay." My fingers trembled a little when I picked up a small stack of chips and pushed them forward. "I raise by fifty."
"I'll gladly meet that." Brenda added her own fifty as did Jackie, while Anne folded. After another round of betting, I had a hundred and twenty in chips waiting to be collected by the winner.
With Anne's hidden commands, it didn't take very long to get me rid of my chips, all the while being teased and riled up by Jackie's snide comments about my playing skills. I couldn't really say why I was playing along, why I was sitting here with flaming cheeks and feeling more silly and embarrassed with every round we played. Jackie and Brenda were having a good time, sipping their ciders, their stacks of chips constantly growing while mine dwindled to nothing.
"I'm broke," I finally had to announce, "you'll have to go on without me."
"Oh, that's too bad," Anne complained, "we'll have to find something else for you to bet."
"Hey, she lost fair and square," Brenda protested, "so she's out."
"Come on," Anne sighed, "don't be a spoilsport. How about we let her bet an item of clothing for every, let's say, twenty in chips?"
So that was her plan - to get me naked in front of my arch-enemy. And to have them see these juvenile bunny-adorned undergarments.
"It's okay." I quickly tried to wiggle my way out. "I'll just stay out and watch you play."
"No, it's not okay," Anne insisted, "if Jackie and Brenda agree, you can bet your clothes..." And with a whisper only targeted for me she added, "...Bunny-ears."
"And why should we agree to that," Jackie wanted to know, a measure of derision in her voice. "After all, we're not guys, why would we want to see her starkers?"
Anne's eyes got that glint I was quickly becoming accustomed to. "For one, because it would really embarrass her. You've always enjoyed getting one over her, didn't you, Jackie?" Before the so addressed could respond, she added, "And for two, I've seen you two behind the gym, as well as watched you ogle Bunnie's bum in the cafeteria."
Both Jackie and Brenda stiffened, their faces losing their color.
"Hey, don't worry," Anne tried to soothe them, "we won't tell if you won't tell."
And then she was suddenly behind me, her arms encircling me, her lips nibbling on my earlobe. I had to use all of my inner strength not to moan at the sweet, unexpected caress.
"Be a good girl," she whispered into my ear, "and play along."
My skin felt like it was about to go up in flames, tingling all over, and the feeling intensified when she started to trace the outline of my lips with her index finger while her other hand started to rub my breast. Both girls were now watching us avidly, and I somehow couldn't turn away my eyes when their faces cycled through uncertainty, surprise, interest and finally excitement. Then Anne's finger demanded entrance into my mouth, and I allowed it, wrapping my lips around it and starting to suck on it.
"Oh my god," Jackie exclaimed with wide eyes, "I would have never expected her to swing that way, the way she was always trying to appear so prim and proper."
Anne giggled. "She herself would have neither if you had asked her a week ago. Turns out, she is quite the little lesbian slut. Aren't you, bunny-ears?"
Her words felt like a hot flood wave, washing over me and pulling me from my feet. Being called a lesbian slut in front of the two almost-strangers! My mind started to spin.
"Aren't you?" Anne prodded me.
"Oh god," I murmured so only Anne could hear me. "Yes!" I said, but it turned into a moan when my girlfriend's fingers pinched my nipple.
"And how many pussies have you licked in the last seven days?"
"Three," I whispered, but the two girls, I was guessing from their giggles, had understood me nonetheless.
"Wow," Jackie finally voiced her opinion. "That's fast. And she appears to be quite the submissive."
"She is," my girlfriend confirmed, not stopping her ministrations to my nipple and keeping me in a state of utter arousal this way, "I haven't yet found anything that was too much for her, and I've not gone easy on her."
"Perhaps we should stop with the rigged poker game then," Brenda suggested, "and switch to a different game."
"What do you have in mind," Anne inquired.
"How about 'lick her while we slap her'?"
