Truth or Dare
Most people view Truth or Dare as a silly game, played mostly by high school kids. A means of giving yourself permission to do or say shocking things. things that you secretly want to do but shouldn't. Sometimes, though, it's a way to find out the truth about yourself.
I belong to a co-ed bowling league. I'm Kevin. There are four of us on our team, two guys, two girls. We were initially just casual acquaintances, thrown together randomly by a lottery from the league. But we became friends, although we didn't date. One of the girls, Liz, is very attractive, with an ample figure up top. The other, Simone, while also pretty, is smaller breasted. She has a natural shyness, and an awkwardness about her body. The marked disparity between the two girls in their build became a distraction. Not to us guys, but between the women. Simone was very conscious of it. She'd make reference to Liz's fullness, while deprecating her own build. I'm sure it didn't help that she'd occasionally overhear the guys in the bowling alley making appreciative comments as Liz's ample figure moved and shook with the motion of bowling. A bra was not sufficient to constrain her.
After the last match of the season, we returned to my house for some food and drink. Half a celebration, half to console ourselves for losing in the playoffs. After more than a few drinks, Liz suggested we play a game -- Truth or Dare. Conveniently, she'd brought a deck of cards with questions and dares, adult version. My partner Billy and I were all in. Simone less so. "I don't know if I'm comfortable with this" she said. It was obvious she wanted out, but didn't want to be the only one dissenting.
"You only live once Simone", said Liz. "We're all committing to the game. Let's have some fun."
Simone didn't look like she was having fun, but nonetheless, the game began.
I got the first choice. "Dare"
D. "Massage the feet of one of the players."
I removed Simone's shoes and gently but firmly rubbed her feet, sending wonderful sensations up the legs. As a bonus, I massaged the calf. She was skittish at first, but finally smiled.
Billy: "Dare"
D. "Slow dance with one of the players for two minutes."
He chose Liz and they danced with some music from my IPhone, holding on to each other with their bodies close, perhaps a little closer than required.
Liz: "Dare"
D. "Find someone to kiss and demonstrate the technique."
Liz chose Billy and with her tongue demonstrated how the French enjoy kissing. They do a very thorough job.
When it was Simone's turn, she chose 'Truth'. I think she thought that was the safest approach. Not so.
T. "What is the body part you are least proud of?"
She blushed. We all knew what was on her mind. And I half expected her to say something safe, like "my toes." But to her credit, she faced the music.
"I've always hated my small breasts."
Liz was the first to speak. "Your breasts are not too small. They are beautiful, firm and proportioned to your body. You should be proud of them." Simone looked down at the ground, not convinced.
Liz went on, "Look, I'm too big. I have such trouble finding clothes to fit me. And I always have to fight off guys who just want a grope. I'd die to have perfect breasts like yours."
"Thank you, but you know that's not true" said Simone softly.
I spoke up. "Liz is right. You have a wonderful figure. I've always admired your body."
This was more direct that I had intended. I had never broached the subject of her sexuality before. It was a little awkward.
Liz took charge. "Let's see them."
"What?"
"You heard me," said Liz. "This is now your dare. Take off your top."
"You're joking."
"No", said Liz. "You're living with an inferiority complex, one that's unwarranted. You're beautiful with a perfect body. I want to see you. That's a dare."
Neither Billy nor I said a word. Let the girls sort this one out. But we were rooting for Liz.
Simone sat still for at least a minute. No one spoke. What was she thinking? Then she stood up. Her fingers began to unbutton her blouse. She took a deep breath and continued. She slipped the blouse off and stood before us in her bra. Her body shook slightly. Surely this was the boldest thing she had ever done in her life.
Liz spoke. "Now the bra."
Simone's eyes widened. She had tried to meet the dare half-way, but Liz wouldn't hear of it.
Simone hesitated, with a look of fear on her face. "I can't."
Liz said, "Let me help."
She crossed to Simone's back, and unhooked the bra. Simone held it in place with her arms for a few seconds. Then she closed her eyes, accepted her fate and let the bra fall to the ground. She stood quietly with her arms to her side, exposed to our gaze.
She was beautiful. The breasts were perfectly formed, firm, not too large, not too small, with erect nipples surrounded by small areolae. Lovely curves on soft white skin.
Billy whistled appreciatively. Simone opened her eyes and ventured a small smile.
"You are beautiful" I said, and meant it. I was moved by how brave she was standing there, exposed, so vulnerable. I went to her and took her head in my hands and kissed her. I had never done that before. Never knew that I wanted to do it before. She did not object.
Simone sat back down, but, significantly, did not attempt to cover her naked top. Those breasts, once freed of clothes and relieved of self-imposed shame, did not want to be denied.
Simone turned to Liz. "Choose".
Liz, to her credit, chose Dare.
Simone didn't read from the cards. She made up her own dare.
"Show them. I want to compare."
"Really?" Liz asked. "Why? You know I'm big."
