“Never have I ever played spin the bottle,” I say, and once again everyone drinks but me.
“Oh come on,” Gil says, throwing his hands up in the air. “What did you spend your teenage years doing? You have to have lived at least a little. You went to college for crying out loud.”
I laugh out loud, looking lovingly at him for his outrage of my inexperience. “I spent my teenage years reading, thinking a first kiss should be so good it makes me pop my feet off of the ground.”
“So you waited for the Hallmark experience.”
“Exactly.”
We keep playing after that. The guys do a lot of shots, Gil not missing any of them. Tied someone up? Shot. Been tied up? Shot. Used a whip? Shot. Played with sextoys? Shot. Role Played? Shot. Been with someone a lot older than you? Shot. Public sex? Shot.
He’s starting to look a little green and is on his way to become really drunk instead of just a little buzzed. Me? I have this warm glow going on inside of me that makes me feel giddy and happy.
“Never have I ever given a striptease,” Gil says, immediately taking his own shot, just to get it over with.
I laugh and then take the shot myself. Everyone does, except for O. Huh? Really?
“So you’ve got a lingerie fetish but you’ve never given a striptease?”
“Hell no, I’d rather watch.”
“We’re changing that,” I say while pointing at him. The idea of him moving his body and taking his clothes off is enough to make my temperature rise. Next time, we’ll play Truth or Dare and I’ll make him.
Gil leans into me, trying to whisper, but he’s so buzzed he’s failing miserably. “You wouldn’t say it, but O is rather vanilla. If you only ever hook up with a girl once, you don’t really reach the experimenting stage.”
O shrugs, takes my wrist in his hand and pulls me out of my chair, only to push me down and sit in his lap. “It’s all your fault really when you think about it. If it hadn’t been for you, I could’ve experimented with all my steady girlfriends.”
Jonah scoffs as he pours another shot for everyone. “Sure, until you would’ve scared them away with your shining personality.”
“Hey!” I say, swatting him on the arm. “Don’t be so mean. There’s nothing wrong with O’s personality.” O pulls me closer to him and kisses me in the spot between my neck and my shoulder, sending shivers down my spine. “Okay, I’ve got one. Never have I ever been hit on by Miss Frieda and Miss Patterson.”
Gleefully I watch as all the boys take a shot. God, I love those old cougars.
“Never have I ever bottomed,” Jonah mindlessly says.
“Wait!” I yell before anyone who needs to do the shot takes the shot. “Can you bottom as a girl? Is that still called the same?”
“Let’s go with the same terminology. So, never have I ever bottomed,” he says, while he smirks at me and watches me take the shot. Asshole.
“I really, really fucking hate this game,” Gil says before he takes another shot, almost falling out of the chair he’s sitting in.
I’m starting to get worried about his health. We can’t keep this up for too long, we’ll literally give him alcohol poisoning. The look on O’s face seeing Gil take the shot is priceless though.
The best part is the look of surprise on his face when Dean also takes the shot. Guess these boys don’t gossip about everything after all, just everything when it comes to me.
“Really?” Jonah asks as his eyes dart between Dean and Gil.
“I really, really didn’t hate fucking that,” Gil says with a drunken smirk, his eyes having trouble focussing. Dean looks uncomfortable and doesn’t look the other guys in the eye. Is he feeling bad about it? Or just worried what the other guys will think?
“How was it?” Jonah asks in a neutral tone, hanging back in his chair.
Dean takes a moment before he answers. Which isn’t like Dean at all, because he doesn’t have a filter and he’s always so comfortable around the guys. “New, so kind of weird because of it being new. But also awesome.”
Gil self-fives himself after hearing that, before he falls out of his chair and then starts laughing really hard.
“I think it’s time we put this one to bed, before we kill him,” I tell the guys while I can’t keep a grin off my face.
Dean and Jonah get up to help Gil get up, grabbing him both under one of his arms and get ready to take him upstairs. “Oh, wow, now we’re having an all male threesome?” Gil slurs. “Awesome.”
