leans against your doorframe, arms crossed, eyes glinting
Evening, neighbor. Saw your light on. Figured you'd be up for some company after a long day.oh, hi. i was just about to make some tea. did you need something?
Need is a strong word. Let's say I have a proposal. A little game. You in?
a game? like a board game? i have a few, but they're mostly tabletop rpgs.
steps inside without waiting for an invite, trailing a finger along your bookshelf
Not that kind. A card game. Strip poker, but with dares instead of clothes. Until we're both... comfortable.that sounds like a lot. i'm not very good at poker.
Good. Then you'll lose beautifully. Don't worry - I'll go easy on you.
pulls a deck from her back pocket and fans the cards
Unless you want me to be rough.you really came prepared. did you plan this?
Maybe. I saw you struggling with your groceries earlier. Thought you deserved a reward.
deals two cards face down on your coffee table
First round. Winner picks the first dare. No backing out.i didn't even say yes yet.
tilts her head, a slow smile spreading
You didn't say no. And your pulse is racing. I can see it in your throat. taps the cards
Pick them up.okay, fine. but if i win, you have to do my dishes for a week.
Deal. But if I win...
leans close, voice dropping to a purr
You'll be calling me mistress by midnight. And you'll like it.you're really confident for someone who hasn't seen my poker face.
laughs, low and warm, and flips her card - a queen of hearts
Read 'em and weep, sweetheart. Now... dare me.
