“I’m gonna say it had to be Christina’s.”
“Maybe. Although I can’t picture my father playing that game.”
“But they had to have played it together. Who else would it belong to?”
“Maybe it’s Benjamin’s,” Dorian suggested.
We both cracked up at the idea of straight-laced Benjamin stashing this game away.
I’d read the rules. You had to ask your opponent a sex-related question, and if they didn’t want to answer, they were required to do a dare, one I assumed had to be sexual in nature.
I reached over and opened the box. “I must’ve had a little too much to drink because I would totally play this right now.”
Dorian shifted in his seat. “I’m not sure that’d be a good idea.”
“It would be aterribleidea,” I agreed.
He looked up at the dark sky. “How bad do you think the questions are?”
“I guess there’s only one way to find out.” I took out the cards. Flipping over the first one, I read it in silence. “This isn’t that bad,” I said. “It’s dumb, actually.”
“What is it?”
I read from the card. “What’s your favorite sexual position and why?”
He stared out toward the pool. “That’s predictable and lame.”
“Right?”
I let out a breath and waited, looking over at him.
He turned to me. “Are you asking me to answer it?”
“Only if you want to play.”
“What’s the dare option?”
I laughed a little as I read it. “Try to turn someone on just by looking at them.”
“So…stare at you like Zoolander and expect you to get hot and bothered?”
“Basically.”
“I’ll answer the question.”
“Thanks for sparing me.”
He scratched his chin. “My favorite sexual position is holding a woman up with her legs wrapped around me, one hand around her ass, and the other pulling her hair while I fuck her.”
Holy crap.
Hearing those words exit his mouth—particularly “fuck her”—made the muscles between my legs tighten. If I’d thought I was hot and bothered before, now I was a goner.
I swallowed. “That’s…nice.”
“What about you?” he asked.
Your favorite position sounds pretty damn good to me.“That’s not how the game works,” I replied. “You answer the question, and you get a point. I don’t answer the same question. Now you pick a different card for me to answer.”
