 Jack looked over the table, now used and somewhat discarded from dinner. 
Dirty plates, empty bottles of wine, finished meals, and happy friends. 
Jack and Karen had invited their two best friend couples over: Doug and
Sarah, of whom Karen had been long time friends with Sarah since high
school, and Paul and Megan, a neighborhood couple who helped them
transition.  Karen had worked very hard to prepare that meal, and now
everyone was satisfied, and probably a bit drunk, as Megan proved with,
"Let's play truth or dare!" As much fun as she was, she sometimes was a bit
immature.

   But everyone needs some immaturity in their life, so they all agreed.

   "Okay, I started it, so, Karen: Truth or dare."

   "Truth."

   "How many guys have you slept with?"

   Karen hesitated for a minute.  Jack felt a twinge of jealousy as he knew
he wasn't the only one to have his wife, but he knew he was the only man
recently.  "Two, but the first one was a stupid high school mistake."

   "Don't we have them all," laughed Sarah, "Okay Megan, truth or dare."

   "Dare."

   Doug said, "STREAK!" They all laughed, okay, so maybe Megan wasn't the
only immature one.  But then Doug said, "Okay, seriously, streak." Sarah
wondered how much Doug had been staring at Megan's pregnancy enlarged
breasts.  Doug continued, "The guys can turn their eyes, but an unbiased
witness has to see you run and touch Jack and Karen's fence back there. 
Sarah or Karen, that's you."

   Paul tried to argue, but Jack stepped up, "Yeah, you may be tempted to
cover for your wife, Paul."

   Megan twirled her fingers to tell the guys to turn around and then
disrobed.  Doug was a little turned on to hear a woman undress behind him.
He was slightly distracted tho when she hit him with her jeans, "That's to
prove I'm naked." Everyone laughed again.  The sliding glass door opened
and Megan ran thru Jack and Karen's yard naked, and laughing.  When she
came back in Jack realized that he could enjoy a very distorted view of
Megan in a black vase sitting on the kitchen bar that he had bought for
Karen on their 2nd anniversary.  He couldn't really see any detail in the
reflection, but watching her shape get dressed made him a little aroused.

   Now Paul turned to Sarah, "Truth or dare."

   "Dare."

   Paul must have been trying to get a some revenge, "Kiss three people of
our choosing and tell who's who."

   But Sarah and Doug didn't flinch.  Karen did, "But she'll be able to
tell by smell."

   Sarah, a little too eager, pulled out some cherry flavored lipstick,
"You can't smell anything through this."

   Sarah was blind folded, and the remaining five guests put their names in
a bag, Doug, Megan and Jack were drawn.  Jack stepped back to talk to
Karen, but she stopped him, "It's just a game Jack, calm down."

   Megan's skin was electric, she was beginning to get nervous.  She went
first.  Her kiss lasted three seconds.  When she backed away she her
expression was blank.

   Doug went second, also with a two second kiss, but less passionate than
Megan's.

   Jack went last.  During the five seconds that he kissed Megan he could
feel a little bit of her tongue massaging his lips.  He stepped back
confused by what he felt physically and emotionally.

   Then the five stood in line and told Sarah to guess.  Ripping of her
blind fold, Sarah started, "Well the second kiss was like kissing a fish,
so I would have thought it was Paul," everyone laughed, except Paul, "But
only my husband would give it less effort." Everyone laughed harder. 
Making a playful allusion to Honey Mooners, Doug shook his fist at Sarah,
"One of these days, Sarah!"

   "The first kiss was light, and curious.  Karen kisses like a horny 15
year old boy on his first date, so that obviously wasn't her." Such good
entertainment Sarah provides.  "So it must have been Megan." Then Jack
began to wonder what Sarah meant by Karen's kissing style, and he didn't
hear, "So the last kiss was from Jack." He was still thinking about Sarah's
previous statement.  "So I apparently have you awestruck." More laughter,
and Jack finally joined the rest of the party.
