The story's start is a bit slow but I think it builds appropriately and makes it seem more realistic. This is my first submission. I welcome all critiques / comments. Thanks.

I was in the gym doing my usual work out. My name is Joe. I am 28 years old and in decent shape. About 5 foot 7 inches, 165 lbs., light brown hair, with a body like a swimmer-more tight and defined than "big", but still muscular. No six pack abs, but just on the verge. Also I wear glasses. I am overall fairly good looking, but no girlfriend at this time.
I was a bit distracted during my workout as there were two particularly good looking women working out in the gym together, they were obviously friends. One was blond and had a very tight body and nice shapely breasts (about a C cup). She was about 5 foot 5. She looked to be in her young twenties. She was wearing a tight blank tank top and tight matching black exercise pants. She looked very hot.
The other one was a brunette, about 5 feet 9 inches (very tall) but also very muscular. She still looked good, but she obviously lifted weights for a while and was going for size. She looked to be in her upper twenties. Her breasts were also about a C cup. She was wearing a tight grey T-shirt and loose fitting black shorts. She was leading the blonde through the workout. The blond was definitely the looker of the two, but the brunette was decently attractive and it looked like it would be a nice adventure to experience a woman like that in bed.
Most of the workout, I was gawking at them...I couldn't help myself...at one point I thought they caught me looking and the blond kind of pointed at me and whispered in the brunette's ear. The brunette just shook her head "yes" to whatever the blond said. I pretended like I didn't notice this and kept on with my workout, careful not to look at them again.
I finished my workout and went and showered. When I was finished and dressed I left the locker room and saw the two women lingering in the hallway talking to each other. They had also cleaned up and changed.
As I walked past them, the blond said, "Excuse me, don't I know you?"
"Uhm, I'm not sure? I think so?" I replied. I knew I didn't know her but decided it couldn't hurt to pretend.
"Isn't your name Joe?" The blond replied.
"Why yes it is," I said in surprise, I had never met her before and wondered how she knew my name? Oh well why a gift horse in the mouth look.
"Weren't you in the ab class the other day?" she asked.
"Uhm, yes that must be it" I replied. I had never been in an ab class, but decided it was best to go with it and keep the conversation going.
"So you don't remember my name do you? Story of my life with guys like you she said" As she approached closer to me, I could smell her sweet perfume.
"I'm Amanda in case you forgot, and I can see the ab class is paying off." she said with a devilish smile.
"Also this is my friend, Jessica." Amanda said.
Jessica interjected, "Hey I hate to be rude but if we don't leave now we will miss the bus Amanda."
"Oh shit you are right, sorry Joe we have to go," Amanda replied.
Not wanting my good fortune to end, I chimed in, "Well I have a car and time today, I can give you ladies a ride."
Amanda quickly replied "that sounds great," and gave a wink to Jessica.
"Oh we would be forever in your debt Joe," Jessica said with a sly smile.
I was feeling really pumped and fortunate and confident right now. Here I was in a potentially good situation with these women.
As I led the way to my car, I could hear the 2 women giggle as they trailed behind me on the way to my car. Amanda climbed into the front seat.
"Thanks so much, this is really a time saver," Amanda said.
It was a short ride to Amanda's house, along the way Amanda made small talk about the ab class. I continued to play along and make generic comments as if he had been in the ab class. I wasn't sure but every time I made a comment about the ab class I could swear Jessica gave out a giggle under her breath.
I pulled into the driveway of Amanda's home.
"Joe, why don't you come in for an after workout smoothie?" Amanda offered.
"Sure" I said with no hesitation. I thought this situation was looking better and better.
They got in and Amanda started making smoothies. I noticed she put in some vodka too.
"Vodka?" I asked.
"Sure, it helps relax the muscles after a workout," Jessica replied with a smile.
Why not I thought to myself?
We drank down their vodka protein shakes and Amanda said, "let's do shots of tequila!"
"Hell Yeah" Jessica said.
I couldn't believe my luck.
Amanda broke out the tequila and shot glasses, before I knew it I had been through two rounds of shots.
Jessica's cell phone beeped with a text message, "Oh shit, no, Sara and Mary don't think they will make it for today's card game," Jessica looked upset.
"Card game?" I asked.
"Every other week we play a game of poker for money, Jessica over there is a card shark," Amanda replied.
"That's only because she hasn't played me yet," I boasted.
"I was planning on winning some money for my rent today," Jessica chimed in disappointed.
"But if Joe is willing to play I can at least get some of my rent money from you two," Jessica said with a smile.
Amanda interjected, "Uhm, err, Jessica, I wasn't planning on playing today, I am a bit low on money, I was just planning to host."
"How much money do you have honey?" Jessica asked me.
"Uhmm I don't have too much on me," I replied. Damn it! I was cursing myself for not having more cash on hand.
"But I can go to the ATM and get some," I offered.
"No honey, you already had those shots, not a good idea to drive right now," Jessica replied.
"How about IOUs?" I offered eagerly .
"No, I hardly know you and I wouldn't even play Amanda for IOUs," she replied.
"This sucks," Jessica said.
"At least I have another week before rent is due, but I was up for the buzz of gambling, but you two don't have any money," Jessica pouted.
"We can play for fun!" Amanda offered, pulling out the poker set and setting the table.
"Fun?" Jessica said, "There's no fun if there is no stake!"
"Well sorry Jessica, why don't we make the best of it and play for fun?" Amanda asked.
I sat down at the table with the 2 of them just hoping we would figure something out.
"How about if we play like we did that time last month, Amanda?" Jessica asked teasingly.
"No fucking way Jessica, I will never do that again, that was so embarrassing," Amanda said mortified.
"What did you last month?" I asked deeply interested.
"We played strip poker," Jessica said slyly.
"Come on Amanda don't be a prude, you have on more clothes than me anyway, maybe you will get your revenge," Jessica teased.
"uhmmm, I don't know," Amanda said considering revenge and the fact that she had more clothes than Jessica.
I was in utter shock and keeping my fingers crossed the game would go on.
"Come on Amanda, otherwise it will just me and Joe, both of you have on more clothes than me, if you both play there's a better chance I lose," she said with a smile.
"How do you know Joe will play?" Amanda replied.
"He's a guy...and he already thinks he can out card shark me," Jessica replied.
"Damn right I replied!" I said confidently and trying to keep the game going.
"OK, OK I will play, but I will NOT bet so crazily this time," Amanda reluctantly agreed.
"Game on bitches!" Jessica yelled.
At this point, I started taking stock of what everyone was wearing.
Jessica was wearing a tight fitting pullover blue blouse, black skirt and black heels.
Amanda was wearing a light black scarf, black open cardigan, a blue button down blouse, blue jeans, and small black boots.
I was wearing a buttoned down red shirt, blue jeans, and black casual shoes.
Clearly Amanda and I had the advantage over Jessica.
"Ok the ante is one article of clothing" Jessica said with a sly smile.
Jessica put in one of her heels, Amanda put in a boot, and I put in a shoe. I was relieved we didn't have to put in a pair as one item.
I dealt the cards. I had 2 pair Aces and tens. Jessica passed with no raise, Amanda too. It was on me. I figured they had nothing and decided to risk it and raised 2.
I pulled off my other shoe and sock and proclaimed, "I raise 2".
"Shit!" Jessica exclaimed, "I fold."
"Me too," Amanda said.
I pulled in the pot and put back on my shoe.
"Beginners luck," Jessica said.
Jessica put in her last heel and Amanda put in her last boot. Since I was ahead, I put in Jessica's heel. Jessica was now barefoot!
Jessica dealt. This time I had nothing.
Amanda passed with no raise but looked fidgety. I didn't raise. Jessica smiled and proclaimed, "I raise my one!" And proceeded to remove her belt. Interesting, now at least I knew belts counted too.
Amanda smiled, I guess she was fidgeting because she had a good hand...and she had more clothes than Jessica. "Let's make it interesting, I see your one (she pulled off a sock) and raise you two," Amanda pulled off her other sock and her belt.
I quickly folded since I had nothing.
"Hmmm," Jessica said. "This is an interesting situation."
Damn right I thought, Jessica would have to remove her blouse and skirt to match the bet!
"You have to be in it to win it!" Jessica retorted and stood up and slowly pulled her blouse over her head. Her muscular body was revealed and her nice c cups breasts were firmly nestled in a tight blue bra.
Next she quickly pulled down her skirt, revealing matching blue panties, I didn't get a chance to see too much because she quickly sat down and it was hidden under the table.
"Nice!" I exclaimed.
"Don't get too excited boy, that's all you are going to see this afternoon," she retorted.
I didn't care I had a nice view of her cleavage.
"And I raise you one more," Jessica said and threw in a green chip.
"What the heck?" I asked. "Don't you have to take something off to bet?"
"Not when you get down to your skivvies Joe," Amanda explained. "You can bet with chips to cover your skivvies but if you lose the hand you lose your clothes. So you have to actually lose the hand to lose your bra or panties...or underwear in your case...you have to win the hand to see the goodies," Amanda said with a chuckle.
Seemed weird to me but whatever, the game was definitely interesting now.
For Amanda to cover the bet she would lose her scarf. (Damn women and their layers of clothes), but it would be one less article for Amanda.
"You're risking a lot there Jessica," Amanda said with a smile.
"I'm not bluffing!" Jessica said confidently.
"Me neither!" Amanda said confidently.
Amanda removed her scarf.
