I thought about my plan to "win by losing" and wryly scolded Fate for being so cruel: each time I'd sneakily discarded a pair in my 5-card draw, I'd been dealt an even higher pair. Or even 3 of a kind. WHY didn't I get this kind of luck when I was trying to WIN? But it was my turn to deal, so I showed off my card skills by rapidly and accurately sliding the cards around the table, then picked up my hand to find.... nothing. Absolutely NOTHING. I mean not even any card higher than a 7. THANK you, Fate! Maybe it would be *my* time to show off a bit. I stood pat, even though if anyone was paying attention, they would notice that I passed up a draw with N-O-T-H-I-N-G. I was counting on the fact that there were 2 panty-less young women at the table - to keep anybody from noticing a detail like that.
The draw was completed and the hands were shown.
And I began to suspect that I wasn't the only one who was TRYING to lose. The hands were pathetic - except for Dave and Chuck. I guess that their male ego's hadn't allowed them to even consider losing on purpose.
When the hands were shown, we had a tie for "loser" - between Brittany, Butch, Marla, and me. We tacitly had agreed that "high card" didn't count as a poker hand, so 4 of us had absolutely nothing.
Before anybody might start to suspect that *some* of us were "throwing the game," I jumped up and made a big show of being so disappointed that I had lost.
"Oh, my god! Can you believe my luck! I mean to have absolutely NOTHING in my hand! Oh My! Well, well, well, I guess I'm going to have to take something off! What should it be? I mean, I could wimp out and just take off my bra from under my dress, but, to be fair, the girls have kind of established the pattern that we ladies will choose to lose our panties first and I am definitely a lady, sooooo."
First, I locked eyes with Dave. My sweet husband. Kind of begging permission. Bless him, he silently just closed his eyes and smiled, then flicked his eyes to Chuck. He knew what this party had become and what I wanted.
So. Second. I fixed Chuck with a stare, summoned up my best seductive voice and, in what I thought sounded like, perhaps, Greta Garbo, I purred, "Mr. Reynolds, would you do me the honor of removing my panties? Please?"
Chuck colored, then flushed, then looked to Marla. His wife. To ask if she was OK with peeling off the panties of her best friend - in front of their children - and mine.
Marla checked herself. Validated her jealousy. But then suppressed it. Smiled, tilted her head a bit, and cooed, in her best Southern accent, "Why, Mea-stah Rey-nolds! I do decla-ah that yo-ah blushing! DO collect yo-ah-self and 'do' the lady the ho-naw she has requested of you-ah."
Marla primped. Proud of herself. Then added, "And if you-ah play yo-ah cahds right, you-ah ah he-re-by re-quest-ed to also re-move yo-ah lady-wife's bloom-ah's as way-el."
Another primp. Then she added, in her regular voice, "and if you KEEP playing your cards right, you're likely to get to 'do' a lady or two - more than just an honor, buster!"
Everybody broke out laughing - providing the comic relief we all needed. It was steamy before we started and it was getting really really hot at our little Hurricane Party.
But. Actions were required, so I shuffled over to Chuck, pulled out his chair so that he was facing away from the table and I was facing toward it (so that I could show off, of course), put my hands on my hips, pinched my sundress on each hip, and S-L-O-W-L-Y inched my hem up.
Up over my knees (I mean, Mom's have to keep their modesty: below-the-knee hems. Definitely).
Up my thighs. Oh, my god, when was the last time that ANYBODY stared at my thighs - in lust?
And Chuck was definitely lusting at the sight of my thighs.
I glanced around the table and was a bit disturbed that my son, Eric, was also paying WAY too much attention to his mother's thighs.
But quickly glanced to Dave, and was gratified that he, too, was rivetted to the sight. Not jealous. Understanding that this wasn't an affair I was having. It had nothing to do with our relationship. It was just fun. Naughty, NAUGHTY fun.
Then back to Chuck. Ripped Chuck. Best-friend's husband Chuck. Fantasy-fodder Chuck.
My pussy took charge of me as it had that night before - when I had taken my naked tour of the neighborhood. She purred. She primped. She antici.....pated being naughty. Being SO, SO naughty.
Anticipated being revealed.
To Chuck.
To my best friend's children.
To *my* children!!!
And my pussy shot a satisfied warmth out thru my whole being. Made me HOT and desperately WANTING to be lusted after.
Yes, by Chuck.
Yes, by Missy and Butch.
and even, god help me, yes, by my own son, Eric.
My hem rose and revealed my panties.
Oh!
Oh my GOD! Nobody had planned for this to turn into a sex party, so I hadn't chosen lingerie with "display" in mind.
OhMyGod! I suddenly realized that I was in my "Mom" panties. Just white, full-cut, a little lace. Nothing sexy at all.
I blushed deeply, but realized that "at least they don't have any stains or rips." That would have to suffice.
But nobody else seemed to notice what kind of panties I was wearing. Well, maybe the women there did, but the guys couldn't have cared at all. I relaxed and remembered the old line: "Q: You know how you get a man to lust after you? A: You show up." That's all that's needed.
So. I kind of quickened the pace of my "curtain going up" act, and raised my hem all the way to my belly-button, kicking aside internal worries about my middle-aged belly and stretch marks from 2 kids and..... and "Holy-shit, woman," I thought to myself, "Here you are worried about your stretch marks from 2 kids - and those 2 kids are now adults and watching you slowly strip for a man who isn't their father." OOOOKayyyy....
