Page 84 of Their Dangerous Game
“What would you do with your boyfriend if you had one, kitten?” Eli lounges in his chair.
“If I was actually dating and could go out, we would probably watch a movie or go to a party. Neither of which I can currently do.” You’d think I’d be able to come up with one viable option, but it’s not like I’ve had a boyfriend. “Staying in? Watch Netflix. Maybe play a board game.”
“Games might be fun.” Jack grabs his phone. “I have an app that will let you set up your own poker game.”
“Poker?” I’m afraid of what he might say next about what the stakes will be. These guys like to get me naked.
“Yeah, strip poker.” Jack winks at me. “Don’t you want to see these guys without their pants?”
I can feel the heat in my cheeks and almost turn away to hide from them. Do I want to see? Yes. Would it be a hell of a lot easier if they’re on their video screens and I’m on mine, rather than them being in front of me for the first time? Yes. Would I end up losing more than winning at poker? Also, yes.
“Not poker.” I shake my head. I’m sure I would be naked long before any of them.
“How about strip never have I ever?” Eli’s eyes glint. “You get to ask the questions.”
“So I just wouldn’t strip? Because my list of have-dones is relatively short.” I try to catalog what I’m wearing: jeans, top, bra, panties, socks. At least the socks count as two.
“No need to be shy now, princess.” Luke leans forward. “How about you can only ask us things you’ve never done? And we can only ask things we’ve done? So you don’t strip on your own questions. Is that fair?”
I wish I could think several steps ahead like Luke seems to, but I can’t see anything wrong with what they’re saying. It just means I will probably strip every time a guy asks me questions.
“Wait.” I hold up my hand. “How do the questions go? I ask one. One of you guys asks one or all of you guys get to ask one.” Because if it’s the second, I’ll be down to panties and bra after the first round.
Luke’s smile is downright evil, but he nods and says, “Only one of us will ask a question for each one of your questions. To make it fair, of course.”
That bastard totally would have done it the other way if I hadn’t said anything. He wants me stripped naked. I reach over and grab my AirPods. Again, Mom might come by to say good night and doesn’t need to hear multiple guys in my room.
“Fine, I’ll start.” I purse my lips as I think of something they’ve done that I haven’t, but that I want to know. “Never have I ever sent someone a naked pic.”
I stare at their screens as Jack stands and takes off his t-shirt. Eli pauses and then stands, but takes off a sock. Caden braces himself like he’s going to stand, but just smirks at me and leans back in his chair. Luke doesn’t move an inch.
Interesting.
“You aren’t afraid someone will post them to the internet?” I ask Jack and Eli.
“They aren’t of my face, kitten.” Eli winks at me.
Jack laughs. “And we aren’t ashamed of our bodies.”
Okay, I get that. They keep in shape and aren’t exactly hurting for female attention.
“Would you ever consider sending nude pics?” Eli asks as he reclaims his seat.
“Not right now. I’m still underage and really don’t want someone to have revenge porn to use on me.” I shrug. “But maybe in the future. I’m not ashamed of my body either, but I don’t want to just show it to anyone.”
Luke smirks. “We like seeing your body, princess.”
Heat gathers in my chest. I just shake my head at him. “That wasn’t voluntary.”
“You dropped the towel, kitten. Luke didn’t strip it off you.”
I open my mouth to defend myself, but I can’t.
I did.
I’m not sure what would have happened if I didn’t. Or what kind of punishment he would have cooked up, but it would have been worse than standing naked against Luke. So I shrug.
“Again, not ashamed of my body.”
