Author's note: This story continues on from my previous series 'A Casual Game Of Strip Poker'. Enjoy.
Weeks passed and the game slowly faded in Jake's memory. He still couldn't believe it had happened. He hadn't heard of any of the other contestants that evening, which aided his growing puzzlement of events that strange night.
Jake felt like a new man in the wake of whatever had taken place though. He felt confident around women now and had even been active on dating websites. He felt liberated and just wanted to have fun rather than be paralysed by some unfounded fear of the opposite sex.
This revolution had also culminated in a wondrous one-night stand with a black goddess named Kylie and proved to Jake that his new way of thinking offered the right rewards. A little under a couple of hours after the new Jake started talking to her, the girl was almost naked in his living room in just her thong as he worshipped her delightful black auroles and nipples. The rest of the evening had been, as they say, passionate. In fact he still had the claw marks to prove it.
This evening Jake had a slightly different date on the cards as Steve had finally been in touch and suggested a pint in an old local. Jake had dived in early to get a seat for the football and pondered the past few weeks in the quiet moments before his friend arrived. He was having a ball and he wanted it to continue.
Steve finally turned up and was late in his usual laid back style. The two talked "men" stuff for a while as they generally caught up, but the subject of the 'poker game' was always on the horizon. Eventually Jake asked how Liz and Charlie were.
"Good man. Liz especially," Steve replied winking. "Me and her are kind of, how would you say... fuck buddies!" he added quietly.
Steve went on to explain how Liz had basically started just walking in on him in either the shower or when he was in bed. They had just about kept it a secret from Charlie but he was loving every second of it. Jake then told Steve about his activities since that evening, and they both concluded that it had been a great adventure with a little toast of their pints.
Eventually the football finished and Jake and Steve went their separate ways. Before they departed they made more concrete plans to meet up. Steve told him to come by that Saturday, watch the football, get some takeaway and catch up with the girls. Finally Steve asked about Amy.
"Ain't seen her mate, and don't intend to." Jake replied with conviction. Amy was the only one from that night he wanted to stay away from.
Saturday soon came and Jake turned up at the infamous flat around 5pm. On his way from the lift he walked past Steph's door and thought about knocking. Then he thought better of it. Let things lie and see what happens, he thought.
At the flat Steve let him in and they parked in front of the TV. Liz suddenly appeared and gave him a massive hug from behind.
"JAKEEEE." she yelled, "Where have you been, and what's with all the clothes?"
"Joke." she finished, laughing.
She explained she was going out for a quick bite to eat with a friend, but would be back in a few hours. Jake had almost forgotten how beautiful she was and glanced at Steve, who simply stared at the TV with a smug smile on his face. Lucky guy, thought Jake, although he also suspected Steve read something more into the relationship than the Liz he knew.
The boys drank, watched the football and smoked some fine green, as was Steve's style. Jake was thoroughly enjoying himself when the suggestion of food was raised, a pizza was ordered and then they were eating. The evening was flying by and it was great to be back in touch with these guys.
When Steve and Jake were suitably fed, half-drunk and stoned, Liz reappeared after her evening out. She came in and tutted at the clouds of smoke and the general mess of dishes, bottles and takeaway boxes.
"You guys are slobs," she joked.
Jake took the opportunity to gawp at her arse as she went around tidying up and remembered what it looked like naked. A little smile rose on his face and he shut his eyes thinking of her small white butt-cheeks.
"Oh, sleeping beauty," shouted Liz in his face. "shall I take that?" Pointing at his empty bottle.
He opened his eyes, nodded 'no' and jumped up to follow her sweet little tush into the kitchen to get another beer. Steve motioned off to the toilet and Liz moved around him and started to wash things up. When walking back to the sofa Jake sensed a blur of movement but waited to sit back down before checking out whatever fuss Liz was involved in. When he looked back she simply had her back to him and was over the sink. Jake did a double-take and rubbed his bleary eyes. There was a slight difference, he thought. Was she now topless?!
Jake lifted himself from his seated position onto his knees to get a better look. He marvelled at the sensual sight before him. Liz was wearing a plastic apron and gloves, but little else!
He took in the curve of her back covered only by the ribbon strap of the apron. He voyeuristically moved down and saw the delicious naked arse from several weeks earlier. Jake heard the flush of the toilet and he chose to return to the sofa properly as Steve came into view.
