Late on Wednesday night, midway through her college's spring break week, Maya was not exactly bored, but definitely felt like she should be doing something more exciting than playing video games with Tyler, her annoying step-brother. Unable, or more accurately, unwilling to burn through her limited supply of money by going to some beach town with her friends, she'd spent much of her vacation working on a paper for her sociology course, helping her Mom around the house and, as much as possible, avoiding Tyler; at 19 he was a full year older than she was, but he was far less mature. Maya was pretty sure he'd been trying to find a way to sneak a look at her when she was taking a shower or getting dressed, one more reason to be looking forward to getting back to school!
Anna, Maya's Mom and Jeff, her stepfather, had returned from their dinner out more than an hour ago. Being early risers, they were already in bed by 11:00 so Maya was more or less stuck hanging out with Tyler. Spending time with him wasn't thrilling, but she actually enjoyed the game they were playing, and it was a rare thing they could do together without arguing. A little after Midnight she reminded him he had to be at work by 7:00 AM. She had meant the reminder as a helpful hint, but he took it as just one more example of her treating him like a child. Despite feeling insulted, he knew she had a point and didn't argue; he went up to his room. His bedroom light was off before 12:45.
Not even slightly sleepy and with nothing better to do, Maya went up to her bedroom and changed into her mismatched but comfortable sleepwear. She picked up her phone and started scrolling through her various social media accounts. It took her less than 15 minutes to tire of seeing photos of her friends having more fun than she was having. Looking to have some conversation without disturbing her sleeping family she switched to a text-based chat website to see if she might find someone to joke with, or argue with, anything but doing more work on the damned paper.
Her randomly matched chat partners soon proved to be a bit too random, providing no interesting conversations and more than a few completely uncommunicative partners. "Maybe they just fell asleep," Maya guessed. She added a few tags to both narrow the pool her matches were drawn from and make them more provocative. The terms "amateur fuck," "threesome," and "forced to strip," predictably enough overshot her goal for slightly spicing up the interests of her matches. She couldn't get the replies off her screen fast enough!
Deciding that manipulating her tags just needed to be done more thoughtfully, she decided to try using a few tags closer to things her circle of friends might actually do, or even had already done. The terms "blowjob" and "teasing" produced matches slightly less porny than the earlier batch, but still mostly returned responses focused on their author's level of hornyness. Her last try to find an entertaining conversation, "dares" showed promise; the first couple of responses actually sounded interesting, but were cut short by her partners. The third response started well, or at least not crudely, "Hi, 19 year old Female here."
Intrigued, Maya responded, "Hi, I'm Female too, 18 year old," quickly adding, "What has you up late?"
"Lol," her partner replied, "not so late here, 10:15 PM. What time do you have there?"
"1:15 AM," Maya answered, "Can I have your name?"
"I'm Reese; about your tag, was telling you my name my first dare?"
"Lol, Just like to be polite. I'm Maya, by the way. Are you actually interested in doing some dares?"
"Well, possibly," Reese replied, "we got matched because I've got my dare tag on too, you know!"
"Great," Maya answered,"It's been a long time since my girlfriends and I have played, do you want to set any limits before we start? What do you and your friends usually do?"
"It's been a while for me too," Reese replied, "I can't say that we have any 'typical' game, it really varies depending on the people involved."
"Gotcha," Maya answered, "What would you say was the craziest dare anyone in your group has done?"
"Oh, that's easy," Reese answered, "One girl was dared to run to the end of her block and back in nothing but her panties, in the middle of the afternoon, and she did!"
"Were you that girl?"
Pausing a moment, Reese finally answered, "We're all anonymous here, so I guess there's no harm in telling you. Yes!"
"Sounds exciting!"
"Have to admit, it was!" Reese replied. "How about your group, how extreme do you all get?"
"Most of the time it's fairly basic stuff," Maya replied, "but one night when no parents were around and we'd had a few White Claws one girl accepted a dare to stand in front of the big window in her living room, stark naked, for five minutes!"
"Wow, completely nude? That's seriously hot," Reese replied. "Pardon my being nosy, was it you in the window?"
Reese's screen didn't change for over two minutes, prompting her to send a query, "Still there?"
"Yeah, I'm here," Maya replied, "and yes, it was me, but the truth is, I bargained with the girl who gave me the dare to cut it down to just two minutes!"
Still, I'm guessing 'just two minutes' must have felt like a lot longer than that?"
"It felt like time was standing still, to be honest." Maya replied, "it was embarrassing, scary, exciting, and some other feelings better left unsaid! I did half the time facing out to the street and the other half with my back to the window. I thought turning my back to the street would be easier, but not even knowing for sure if anyone was out there was actually worse. Fuck, why am I telling you all this?"
"You seem pretty brave," Reese replied, "Have you ever turned down a dare?"
"Yeah, absolutely," Maya answered, "Not about to flash my step-brother!"
Reese asked, "Is he good looking?"
"I guess so, Maya replied, but he's kind of a jerk, so the idea makes my skin crawl! How about you, anyone ever give you an unacceptable dare?"
"Oh, sorry," Reese replied, "Yeah, during my first month in college, we were playing in a mixed gendered game. Everyone was making pretty mild dares, nothing more challenging than kissing someone or flashing a bra. Out of nowhere some guy I'd just met dared me to go outside and pee on the sidewalk! Told him I wasn't that kind of girl and blocked him!"
"Maya replied, Good to know you understand the importance of some limits, lol!"
"Says Miss nude in the window," Reese replied.
"Let's make that particular dare off limits for tonight," Maya proposed.
"Deal," Reese agreed, "but does this mean you're ruling out any and all dares involving nudity?"
"Ummmm, probably," Maya answered, "at least none in anywhere near as bright a space as that other time, and not if I'd be certain of being seen naked! Based on some looks the dad in the family across the street gave me later, I'm pretty sure one guy saw me that night, but I'll never know for certain."
Reese asked, "If you thought nobody had seen you on display in the window, would you have been relieved or disappointed?"
Maya was more glad than ever this chat was text only, she knew her blushing would give her away right now. She replied, "No comment!"
Reese persisted, "Aw, you can tell me!"
Maya gave in, saying, "Ok, ok, relieved. Mostly."
