“Great.” He slapped his thigh once. “Oh, and if you end up getting your own dare by accident, you get to pick another one. No one is supposed to perform their own dare. We’re not here to watch you fulfill your fetishes, so please, for the love of baby Jesus,spareus.”
I laughed and looked at Rina. When she smiled at me, I bent and gave her a quick kiss.
“Okay, everyone, so who wants to pick the first chit?” Daniel asked.
Simran crawled forward and grabbed one before anyone could say anything, and then after having read it, she simply turned to Remi and said, “Lift your armpits.”
The poor guy paled. “What?!”
“Wait, wait,” Daniel cut in. “That’s not how it works! You have to read the dare out loud before performing it.”
Simran rolled her eyes. “Smell someone’s armpits for 10 seconds,” she read casually.
“Oh God.” Daniel ran a hand over his face, then looked at Cruz. “It was you, wasn’t it? You’re the one who wrote that?” When Cruz didn’t respond, and instead chose to keep his eyes on the floor, Daniel lifted his arms in defeat. “I saidR-ratedorhumorousdares, you pile of meat! Armpits are neither of those things! They’re gross and Satan’s curse to humanity!” He waved a hand at Simran. “But whatever, do the dare so that we can move on.”
He justhadto mention Satan to solidify my suspicions about this being a cult gathering, didn’t he?
May the Almighty save my soul.
Remi reluctantly raised his arms, and Simran spent 10 seconds smelling each of his pits.
Rina shifted, and our knees bumped. When I glanced at her, I saw her looking at Remi and Simran with a horrified expression on her face.
“Changed your mind yet?” I asked.
She scrunched up her nose, but shook her head, making me chuckle.
“Your loss,” I quipped.
“Shh!” Daniel chastised. “Okay, good job, Sim. Who’s next?”
Remi picked up a chit. “Make out with someone of the same sex as you.” He looked around, then pointed ahead. “Dave, you in?”
Dave nodded, and Ash smirked. She sat back and watched gleefully as Remi and Dave put Massimo Torricelli to shame with the way they kissed each other.
“Whoa…” Daniel opened the bottle of scotch and took a huge gulp from it. “Okay, sothatjust happened.” He drank some more.
Brianna punched him in the side, to which he chuckled and kissed her.
Rina got on all fours and took the bottle from Daniel, then downed a small amount of it before giving it back to him.
Ohkay…
Dave was next in line for the dare, and when he got one where he had to make his partner come in under 30 seconds, Ash didn’t waste time in stripping down to her underwear.
The two of them headed into the guest bathroom, and within 20 seconds, we heard Ash’s moans filtering out and reverberating through the otherwise silent room.
I swear this was getting crazier by the second.
The pair walked out soon after, and Ash,thankfully, put her clothes back on.
Rina looked so flabbergasted that I wanted to laugh, but had to control the urge by clearing my throat instead.
The game went on, with each dare more questionable than the other, until Taron reached forward and grabbed a chit. “Leave an R-rated voicemail for an ex.”
I couldn’t hold it in, then; I laughed. Full body-shaking, teary-eyed laughter that went on for quite some time, until Rina finally placed a hand on my shoulder to stop me.
Everyone was looking at me like I’d popped a brain cell, and maybe I had, but I didn’t care about that.
