"Truth or Dare" Roxy asked with a grin creeping across her cute face. Marking the start of the game and their journey into discovering their sexuality. Matt paused for a second, unsure of how to proceed. On one hand, he really wanted to convey confidence and speed up the evening's proceedings by responding with a defiant 'dare', on the other hand he really didn't want to face the humiliation he knew Roxy was capable of providing. He remembered all too well having to deal with Roxy challenging him in front of other people, demeaning him and sometimes even emasculating him. Matt wondered if that was the cause of his fantasies of dominating Roxy.
"If you're gonna take this long we'll be here all night, not something I thought would be an issue with you" Roxy mocked. Before roxy could continue to belittle him, Matt snapped out of his indecision and responded "Truth".
It was obvious by the look of disappointment and surprise on Roxy's adorable face that she had assumed that he would choose 'Dare' to maintain their flirty power struggle. Roxy was more disappointed by the lack of interest Matt had shown by replying without taking the opportunity to play around with her.
Roxy wondered whether Matt was nervous. He must be feeling a little anxious, she concluded, all the girls were, herself included. Roxy decided that it couldn't be a reflection on her and that she just needed to make him feel relaxed if she wanted his dominant, argumentative, flirty side to make an appearance.
She gave herself a few seconds to think and then smiled flirtatiously at Matt and asked " Who here have you fantasised about before?" Roxy suspected this was a safe introduction as she had caught him stealing glances at all the girls before and having Matt tell everyone he was attracted to them would result in all the girls relaxing. Even though she would never admit it, she also desperately wanted to hear someone confess that her rough exterior wasn't so abrasive that it removed all attraction.
Matt blushed and squirmed in his seat as he broke eye contact with Roxy. How was he supposed to maintain his bravado while admitting to the biggest secret of his life, something he had, until tonight, assumed he'd have to take to his grave. He knew that the moment the truth left his lips he'd never get to playfully flirt with his friends anymore. He would forever lose plausible deniability. He only then realised how much the ambiguity of attraction played a role in the dynamics of the friendships he had with every one of them.
Matt looked to his left, Anna sitting next to him on the sofa. At least he could rely on her to be more embarrassed by this situation than he is. Anna immediately looked down at her hands in her lap. She shuffled her fingers around, intertwining them back and forth. Matt reflected on their relationship and his usual move of paying Anna off handed compliments which could easily be played off as just being a good friend. Always a kind word about her grades, new haircut, outfit, etc.
As he turned to take in the whole room, after lingering for only a second on Anna, he looked at Roxy sitting alone in an armchair. She was hugging her knees to her chin, her devilish smile resting atop the tower of naked legs. Roxy often wore short shorts and Matt would restrict sneaking glances until he was 100% sure no one would notice. He enjoyed the opportunity to steal a peek as his eyes scanned past her.
Matt next let his gaze pass over Bella. Her curvy figure always attracted the most attention. She never hid her figure, but her dresses were always on the conservative side. Figure hugging, floral summer dresses were her go to, tonight included. She sat at an angle with her legs crossed, causing the fabric to ride up high on her thigh. Her breasts stretched the fabric of the dress, slightly distorting the pattern. Following the chestnut skin of her cleavage up to her beautiful face. She looked back at him with a look of contended joy. Bella always seemed to be having fun.
Matt finally finished taking in all the girls as he arrived at Gabby, sitting on his right, on the sofa cross legged. Gabby's shoulders and arms are on display in her white tank top, sculpted from her regular workout routine. She takes the opportunity to lock eyes and her features softened as she basked in Matt's attention. He had often wondered if he was imagining her attention. He had also wondered whether he could even keep up physically if he ever got her attention.
Matt eventually admitted "All of you! OK Roxy? I think you are all wonderful people and beautiful women and.... and.... any guy would be the luckiest guy in the world to be with any of you..... So, yeah. I think that sufficiently answers your question."
The atmosphere of anxiety in the room subsided, leaving only excitement and anticipation remaining. Matt immediately tried to pry attention away from him, sputtering "So, it's now my turn and I can pick anyone to ask? Right?" Roxy nodded, feeling her anxiety return, concerned he may choose her for revenge or perhaps as a way to reintroduce their flirty antagonistic dynamic. Matt instead turned to Bella and asked "Bella, truth or dare?"
Bella looked as shocked as Roxy, having made the same assumption. Matt added "I thought it would be better to pick someone else, keep everyone involved. I'm sure Roxy will get her comeuppance later" Bella, trying to stall replied "oooo maybe we could make that a rule? You can't pick the person who just picked you." Roxy added "OK..... Unless it's a group dare, otherwise full group dares wouldn't be possible" Bella nodded gratefully and then finally acknowledged Matt's original question "Truth"
Matt had noticed that when he had stolen glances at his friends in the past, he had caught Bella doing the same. It seemed to him that this would be a great opportunity to subtly reveal that to the group. "OK Bella, my question for you is....... Is there more than one person here tonight that you'd like to kiss?" Matt thought he had phrased the question perfectly, her answer should leave all the girls wondering who it could be.
