"You know how to play poker?" Rhoda asked as she shuffled the cards.
"Poker?" Erica gasped. "No, really, we couldn't!"
"Relax," Rhoda said. "We just play for these tokens." She slid a box of tokens onto the table. "Fifty each, then we can go wild."
"Well, no, really," Erica said, but the cards were already being dealt, and Rhoda was insistent.
Rhoda explained the game and they played a couple of rounds, and the girls got the hang of it quickly. Or so they thought. Then there was another rum and Coke, and the girls began to relax.
The game began and tokens bounced around. There were more rum and Cokes and the girls settled down, even beginning to enjoy the evening. Louis seemed to have managed to take his eyes off them most of the time and Rhoda was a wonderful hostess.
Then Erica ran out of tokens and Rhoda lent her some. Erica lost the next hand and pouted.
"Pity," she said.
"More tokens?" Rhoda asked.
"Oh, sure, great!"
"But you lost the hand, so you have to pay for them," Rhoda said.
The room got very quiet.
"Sure," Erica said, ignoring the lump in her throat. "What do they cost?"
"Your dress. Take it off and give it to me."
"What? No!" Erica gasped, blushing to the roots of her hair. "Oh no, we have to go! We have to go!"
"You lost the hand," Rhoda said. "There are strict rules about that, hey, boys?"
"Yeah," Shaun said, and there was suddenly a horrible change in him. He leaned back in the chair and Erica saw that he had an enormous bulge in the front of his pants. She shuddered.
She'd never even allowed him to run his hand over the front of her bra, but now he was staring at her, expecting to see her frilly underwear.
"No, we have to go," Erica said, getting up. Amy got up with her.
"You have to take the dress off," Rhoda said, smiling. "Come on, it's all innocent fun, just a game. If I lose, I have to take my clothes off."
