Leila slid into the limousine with trepidation.
There's no way he's going to go through with it.
He couldn't possibly. It was insane. Mark was just playing a practical joke, like always.
The problem, of course, was that Mark's practical jokes usually involved a very competitive game of chicken. If she backed down before he let on that it was a prank, he'd be disappointed that she'd ruined it.
He quite liked that she was daring enough to play his games. He'd told her many times that it was one of the things that had cemented their relationship for him. The ability to tackle his challenges calmly and boldly was endearing, apparently -- especially if it was a challenge that no one in their right mind would accept. Mark was fiercely proud that he was
always
the one that let her off the hook, never herself.
'The ceremony went off without a hitch,' said Mark settling into the seat opposite her in his morning suit. 'We even managed a bit of sunshine.'
The weather report for their wedding day had been disappointingly grey, and Leila was as pleased as her new husband. 'It was exactly how I pictured it,' she agreed. 'Looks like it's gone away now, but that's supposed to be good for photos.'
'Still an hour until we get there anyway,' said Greg, Mark's best man, as he sat to her left and closed the door. 'Anything could happen in the meantime.'
Austin had entered the sleek interior right before him and positioned himself beside Mark and nodded. 'The report says it's supposed to rain later. Hopefully we get them done before that.'
Leila nodded too. 'It'll be incredible, looking out the windows into the gardens while it's falling during dinner, but I'd rather not enter the reception a wet, soggy mess.'
She realized what she'd said too late and fought her cringe as five salacious smiles beamed at her from all around.
'Oh, you'll be wet, alright,' said Samuel, seated to her right. 'Unless you chicken out.'
The rest of the boys sniggered. They knew what was coming.
Or at least, they're in on the joke,
she told herself.
There's no way Mark doesn't stop this before it really gets going.
'Looks like it's time we got started on that front,' chimed in Laurie, gesturing to the outside world as the car began moving. 'I'd like to enjoy the show for as long as possible. If Mark's up the challenge, anyway.'
The boys outright laughed this time, even Mark, who had definitely been the butt of that joke. 'You'll see plenty,' he told them. 'There's no hurry. We're taking the long route for a reason.'
There was another reason for that besides the timing. As much as Leila had assured herself that no one could see in the tinted limo windows, she wanted to be sure that some trick of the light didn't allow anyone she knew to get an eyeful of what was happening inside. In a few minutes, they would turn off onto a different route than the rest of the guests, and she could breathe a bit easier.
Not that it matters,
she reminded herself.
Mark doesn't actually expect me to do this.
The streets passed by in a blur as Leila tried to concentrate on the friendly banter, her insides slowly knotting up as they drove closer to the turn off. She sipped a glass of champagne with barely disguised eagerness, keen to take the edge off her nerves.
It was only half empty by the time they eased away from the highway, and she surreptitiously gulped most of what was left as Mark made eye contact. 'Well,' he said. 'Looks like it's time to get you out of that dress, darling.'
The groomsmen were quiet now, perhaps concerned that they'd nudge the planned activities off course if they said the wrong thing. Samuel accepted her almost-empty glass with no comment, positioning it into the glass holder built into the door next to him.
Leila kept her expression neutral as she turned around in her seat as gracefully as she could, kneeling on the leather and presenting her back to Mark.
Any second now,
she told herself.
He'll stop it at the last possible minute.
She squashed her panic down as he began fiddling with the laces on the back of her corseted dress.
He's just playing for time,
she thought.
He's not actually undoing it.
Her stomach did a backflip as the dress loosened. He really had unlaced it. The front was beginning to come away from her breasts.
It's fine,
she told herself, turning to face the front again with one arm pressing the dress to her chest.
I've flashed my boobs at them all before, so even if I start shimmying out of it, it won't be anything new.
She conveniently ignored the fact that they had all been very quick and unexpected occasions. The boys had barely had a chance to take them in before she was covered again. And if Mark let her pull it down too far...
Deciding not to let Mark know he was getting to her, she lifted herself slightly off the seat and pulled the dress down about six inches. Her breasts immediately became visible, and an unexpected thrill ran through her as five sets of eyes zeroed in on them.
Leila had spectacular tits. She was quite proud of them. Truth be told, as much as she was nervous about her audience judging her, she had been fantasizing for years about showing them off to someone. Mark was appreciative, sure, but there was nothing quite so flattering as the sincere admiration of someone that had no stake in keeping you happy.
'God, they're nice,' said Laurie. 'I've been wanting another look for ages now.'
