I haven't been this drunk since college.
The thought flitted into view, seemed for a moment utterly significant, then irrelevant, then was gone with the last of my drink. I set the shot glass down more heavily than I intended and fixed my husband in my gaze.
"Youβhey, you." I motioned for eye contact to show I was serious. "No more of these. I'm a gin girl. You can't be feeding me all kinds of crazy concoctions."
He gave my drunk-serious act as much respect as it probably deserved. "I know Liz, that's what I keep telling them! But these hooligans"βhe gestured grandly at the three other guys with us at the barβ"they just don't listen!"
These hooligans were also known as Ed, Jean, and Roche. They, along with Anne and Caesar relaxing on a couch behind us, were our college friends. Mostly Frank's college friends, but I had to admit I had missed clowning around with them.
"C'mon, Liz," Ed wheedled, already pouring me another gin and tonic, "it's our big reunion! Loosen up!" He clinked glasses with Roche, and almost took a sip before remembering he made the drink for me.
"What, you don't think this is loose enough?" I feigned offense. "I've got my hair down. I've got buttons undone."
"Maybe just one more button would do it," Roche said, his deep-set eyes twinkling.
I've always enjoyed getting Roche to drop his serious facade and play along. He's the one who arranged this little reunion, got the private room at the bar and everything. I have no idea how he got them to let us make our own drinks, but it was fun playing bartender for each other at the little speakeasy.
Anyway, I wasn't about to undo another button on my topβmy cleavage was already on displayβbut I did squeeze my tits together and give them a shake as I made a face at him. It's the kind of move I would usually stop myself from doing, but I was drunk and Frank didn't seem to mind. I guessed my husband was having just as good a time as me.
Ed stood up and turned, surveying the small brick room with its two leather couches and scattered tables and chairs. "You'll have to excuse me while I make sure my wife isn't being seduced over here." Caesar obviously heard, and flashed his bright rakish smile as Ed walked over.
I turned back to Jean. "You're far too quiet. We've gotta fix that."
"Ah, you mean it is time for drinking games," he said in his light but delightful accent.
"Drinking games? How juvenile. Who plays drinking games?" I scoffed.
Several drinking games later, I was undoing another button on my top.
See, the thing is that we knew we were too drunk. We couldn't keep taking drinks as penalties, but we wanted to keep playing. I in particular was on a hot streak and had no desire to stop now. Add in the fact that I always get horny when I drink to excess, and I put up less resistance than I'd like to admit when Jean calmly suggested we play for clothes.
Frank and I looked at each other, and I was surprised to see his agreeable expression.
Probably hoping to get me going and get a blowjob out of it later
, I thought, and that didn't sound so bad to me either. In silent agreement we turned to Anne. It seemed fair the only other lady in the room should have a veto.
She was already blushing, but I knew how to push her buttons. "Well..." I said, "only if Miss Priss here is okay with it."
Her blush deepend, bright red cheeks in the frame of her short dark hair. "Oh, I'm Miss Priss?" I grinned back at her in reply. "You're on, Lizzie."
"Okay then," I said. It was just too easy, although I don't know why I was suddenly the one trying to make this happen. "Maybe just one round. To see."
Of course, we ladies got lucky the first round, and then we didn't want to stop. We were playing quarters, some bastard version Roche had cooked up, and Caesar got bad bounce after bad bounce. We all knew he kept in shape, but I was still impressed when he pulled off his shirt to reveal the powerful pecs under his smooth dark skin.
"Damn Caesar, you're making us look bad!" Ed said.
"Don't pick on me next time, then," he laughed.
They didn't, and that's how I ended up unfastening not one but all of the buttons on my top. Pulling it off, I was thankful the bra I had grabbed off the top of the pile in the morning wasn't
too
sexy. Dark blue, thin, and a tiny bit lacy, but at least they couldn't see my nipples through it. At least, I was pretty sure they couldn't.
"Yeah, yeah, get it out of your system." Even Anne was staring. "C'mon, next round!" I picked up a quarter and got it started.
Next round, Anne was the victim. Her plain black bra didn't give much away about her tits, but I envied her flat stomach. Roche's shirt came off next and showed off a tangle of dark chest hair I wouldn't mind running my hand through, and as the game went on I began to realize the tone of the room had shifted.
We were still laughing and ribbing each other, but there was something else present, a hushed undercurrent of tension. I saw Ed whispering in Anne's ear more than once, and I'm pretty sure he had a hand down the back of her shorts. I found myself bumping into or brushing against Jean and Roche with increasing frequency. Caesar managed to bounce a quarter into my bra, and when I playfully slapped his arm I let my hand linger longer than was probably necessary.
Then I saw that everyone standing around the tall table was looking at me, and I realized I had just lost another round. "Shit!" I said. Their faces said there would be no getting out of this one. I frantically racked my brain for what panties I was wearing. Fumbling with my jeans, I still had no idea what I was about to flash to the room. I gulped and yanked them down, like ripping off a band-aid.
Red silk. Not quite a thong, but not so far from it either. Now I was blushing, doubtless matching my panties better than my bra did. I kicked my jeans off my feet, having long ago shed my shoes. "Well, I think that's enough losing for me," I said.
"No, come on!" came the unanimous response. "What's wrong, Miss Priss?" Anne said with a smirk.
"Hey, you're only a couple bad bounces from showing everyone your tits, too." As I heard the words come out of my mouth, they only made me less certain that I wanted to quit.
"Wait, wait," Jean interjected. "You don't have to get naked." Easy for him to say, still wearing all his clothes. "How about, if you lose again, you just give a lap dance to your husband." That damn accent. I'm pretty sure no one else could have made the suggestion sound reasonable.
