Cole raised his glass toward his crestfallen comrade and then brutally tipped it back, the searing liquid coursing down his throat before shrugging.

‘In my defence - again - you have never asked,’ said Anna, turning around and standing up.

‘You’ve never offered!’ he said. Elsie was worried that this was turning a little bitter, but then Tom’s mouth curled at the edge and turned into a grin. ‘Though I guess, now I know…’

‘Why wait?’ laughed Elsie, raising her eyebrows. ‘I’ve got an unopened bottle of lube upstairs, stay the night and have some fun.’

‘Oh my goodness,’ laughed Anna. ‘When I said hardcore, I didn’t mean literally. We’re not doing that tonight… but, maybe another night.’

She turned and made wide eyes at Elsie who laughed and glanced toward her husband. ‘I think it’s your go…’

‘Oh thank goodness,’ said Cole. ‘Never have I ever, had sex in a public place.’

Anna’s drink stayed put and so did Tom’s as they both shrugged. ‘Not us.’

‘Ah shit,’ said Elsie as she turned again to look at her husband, together they shrugged and knocked their own drinks back in unison.

‘Where? When? How?’ demanded Anna, her eyes wide, desperate for the lascivious details.

‘Four years ago, in the Fairways Golf Club restaurant, in the toilets, up against the cubicle wall, from behind,’ said Elsie.

‘In the womens?’ said Anna, incredulous.

‘In my defence,’ started Cole. ‘Elsie was wearing a bu-.’

‘Nope!’ she interrupted, holding her hand up.

‘A what?’ said Anna.

‘Nothing!’

‘A bu-?’ she continued, mouthing the word and trying to find a fit.

‘Butt plug?’ said Tom, his eyes wide with disbelief.

‘No!’ laughed Elsie, as Cole nodded behind her.

‘Oh golly,’ said Anna, her face in her hands as she peered through her fingers. ‘Did you like it?’ she stopped herself and blushed. ‘I bet it feels weird.’

Elsie glanced at Tom who had clearly noticed Anna’s enthusiasm, grinning for a moment as he glanced at his wife and then looking away at Cole as she turned back to look at him.

‘It’s nice,’ said Elsie. ‘It feels really naughty.’

Anna nodded, still embarrassed but trying desperately to cover it. ‘Fair enough. I think it’s your turn now.’

‘Ok, I’ve been saving this one up. I’m so sorry… Never have I ever, thought about someone other than my partner… whilst doing it,’ said Elsie.

‘Oh my goodness,’ Anna laughed, her hand over her mouth in horror. She watched Elsie carefully as the two of them engaged in a stand off. Their husbands sat forward, waiting for their reaction, then Elsie slammed her drink back and Cole burst out laughing.

Tom settled back into his chair, shaking his head with relief but then his face dropped as Anna knocked hers back too.

‘I’m so sorry,’ she pleaded, as she leapt up and grabbed hold of his hand with hers. ‘Just a few times, I promise and only when the lights were out.’

‘That’s fine,’ he said knocking his drink back and grinning. ‘I’ve only imagined I’m fucking your sister a few times too.’

Anna’s face dropped and then screwed up in faux-anger as she laughed. ‘You’re such a shit.’

‘Touché,’ he laughed and then leaned forward to kiss her.
