Snippet Saturday – Something Odd
I had to think long and hard to find something to fit in this weeks theme. The hint was a quirky scene or character so I've gone with the 'game' scene in Truth or Dare. All the characters are a little quirky, especially seeing how they're a little drunk.
Daring to tell the truth will change the rules of this game forever.
Party Games, Book 2
When her friend deserts her at an exclusive Sydney house party, Miki Drummond retreats to a corner to observe the insanity. Watching life go by is something she does well, especially after the hell her marriage put her through.
She never dreamed she'd reconnect with not one but two blasts from her high school past. And she never expected their heated gazes to bring her body so easily back to life.
Grant Rogers and Dayne Pierce never forgot Miki. Ever. Past experience tells them to tread slowly and carefully, but that plan flies out the window when they're all dragged into a game of Truth or Dare. Something's up, because Miki repeatedly chooses to take a shot rather than reveal her obvious pain. Time after time.
Waking up hungover in a strange bedroom, Miki is caught in an electrically charged moment with two men who offer her unimaginable pleasure, who seem determined to keep her suspended in sweet torment—permanently.
One night of pure fantasy is all Miki dares to take, but come morning the hard truth is that walking away isn't an option.
Product Warnings: The author cannot be held responsible for any truth you may tell or dare you make take after reading this story. And if you find yourself sandwiched between two hunky men…take the dare.

She finally settled on a game of Truth or Dare. With typical Frankie finesse, she pushed the three of them onto a couch, Miki squished between him and Dayne. Two others joined the game, a guy Grant recognised but couldn't remember a name for and a woman who was already three sheets to the wind if the smell of alcohol emanating from her was any indication. Before he blinked, Frankie placed shot glasses in front of each of them and plonked a bottle of tequila on the low table in the middle of their small group. He glanced around the room to see similar groups engaged in the game already.
"I'll ask first," the other guy said as he turned to the blonde woman beside him. "Truth or Dare?"
"Dare." Her eyes were glazed and she swayed in her seat.
"I dare you to suck my cock."
"Eeww…" The blonde gagged and put a hand over her mouth.
"Jesus, Mike." Frankie poured tequila into the woman's glass before the blonde even tapped it.
With a skill that surprised him, the woman leaned forward, wrapped her lips around the top of the small cup and flipped her head back. In one swallow, she downed the alcohol and dropped the glass back on the table. She closed her eyes and shuddered before turning to Frankie. "Truth or da—" She hiccupped.
Frankie rolled her eyes. "Truth."
The blonde squinted in Frankie's direction, cocked her head to the side. "Are those four boobs real?"
Laughter burst from the group as one. Obviously she was seeing double.
"Yep." Frankie cupped a breast in each hand. "These babies are all mine."
The blonde's eyes spun around before rolling back in her head. She toppled off the seat to the floor and stayed there. Mike leaned down to fondle her chest and Frankie slapped his hands away.
"Just checking for a pulse," he said as he snatched his arms back out of Frankie's reach.
"Sure you were." She turned to face Grant. "Truth or dare?"
He thought about it for all of a second before going the safest route. "Truth."
"What's you most secret sexual fantasy?"
Jeez, she wasn't pulling any punches. He kept his gaze on Frankie. If he looked at Miki and Dayne like he wanted to there wouldn't be any point in taking the shot or opening his mouth and spilling the beans. He tapped the glass.
Frankie grinned and poured the tequila. "Chicken."
Grant ignored the taunt and took the shot. He turned to Miki. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
Keeping with the sex angle, he asked the question every guy wants to know. "Have you ever made out with a girl?"
Miki's gaze darted to Frankie but her head didn't move so no one knew she'd revealed the answer except him and her best friend. His mind exploded with images best not thought of and he gulped back the groan that rumbled in his throat. If anyone had seen her giveaway look they'd think she was just taking the shot instead of answering when she reached out and tapped the glass. Not about to do anything that would reveal what he'd discovered, he eased back in his seat and waited for Miki to down her penalty for not answering.
He chuckled when she picked up the glass with one hand and blocked her nose with the other. A grimace crossed her face as she brought the liquor to her lips. Eyes scrunched closed, Miki swallowed the tequila in a rush. She wriggled in the seat next to him and placed the glass back down.
"God, that stuff is foul." A shudder rippled through her as she leaned back against the couch. "Okay, Dayne, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Mmm," Miki's mouth kicked up in a sexy little smirk before she asked her question. "Have you ever made out with a girl?"
For a second Dayne just stared at her before laughter erupted. Frankie snorted before joining in at the same time Grant did.
"Jeez, come on, answer the damn question and get on with the game," Mike grumbled.
"Yes, Miki, I've made out with a girl a time or two." Dayne tweaked Miki's nose before turning to Mike. "Truth or Dare?"
"Dare."
Mike almost bounced in his seat waiting for Dayne's dare. Grant thought the guy was in his late twenties, possibly early thirties, but you wouldn't guess it from the way he acted.
"Okay, how about you try sucking your own dick?" Dayne asked.
"Can't. Tried." Mike turned to Frankie. "Your turn. Truth or Dare?"
"Christ, Mike, you're disgusting," Frankie said.
"Truth or Dare?"
Grant could only imagine what the dickhead would come up with once Frankie picked her poison. He might have to take the shot on his next couple of rounds just to make the game a little more interesting because it certainly wasn't proving much fun sober, but with a haze of alcohol under his belt it wouldn't matter.
