Anirudh's eyes swept over Amy once more. She bore a striking resemblance to her sister—about 80%, but without that sultry, mature allure.
She wore a low-cut evening gown, and while it didn't stand out much when she was standing, now that she sat next to him, her cleavage was on full display. Though not as pronounced as her sister's nearly vanishing line, Amy's chest was still substantial, likely a D-cup.
Three strands of pearls graced her neck, and white jade earrings dangled from her ears. She exuded an aura of elegance, poised and composed, like the charming girl-next-door but with an air of sophistication.
"Truth or Dare," Amy said, flashing a soft smile.
"How do you play?" Anirudh asked, confused. Back in his village, entertainment meant either gambling or getting involved with the women. He didn't have a woman, so gambling was his go-to, and he never lost. So much so, people fled the game when he showed up.
"It's simple. We roll dice. Whoever rolls the highest wins, and the loser has to answer a question from the winner truthfully. If someone loses three times in a row, they have to drink a glass of wine. If they lose five times in a row, they have to complete a dare, and they must do whatever the winner asks," Amy explained patiently.
"You can ask anything?"
"Absolutely."
"And they have to do whatever you ask?"
"Absolutely."
"So, if I win and ask you to do a striptease, will you do it?" Anirudh asked, blushing a little.
Amy rolled her eyes. This kid, so young and already a flirt. But recalling her sister's secret instructions, she bit her lip and replied, "Of course I'll do it... but only if you can beat me," she said with a fiery glare.
Amy was unbeatable when it came to dice. No one here, not even her sister, could hold a candle to her. She found it hard to believe Anirudh could outmatch her.
"Alright, let's give it a shot. But, I'm not very good, so you'll have to go easy on me, okay?" Anirudh said, flashing a shy smile.
"Of course. I wouldn't want to overwhelm you. Let's start…" Amy replied with a confident grin. She quickly grabbed the bamboo cup filled with dice and shook it with expert precision. Her wrist flicked smoothly, the dice clattering rapidly inside, and with a swift move, she slammed the cup onto the table with a sharp "thud."
The whole display was seamless, leaving Anirudh both impressed and a bit overwhelmed.
"You're a pro…" he muttered in admiration.
"Haha, that's just the basics. Now it's your turn," Amy said with a satisfied smirk.
Anirudh carefully picked up another bamboo cup, glancing at Amy's on the table. He tried to copy her, but as soon as he lifted the cup, the dice slipped out and scattered across the floor.
"My bad," he said, kneeling down quickly to collect them. As he bent down, he snuck a quick peek over at Aurora and Eleanor. Aurora's legs were slightly parted, and from his vantage point, he could just make out the black fabric of her underwear beneath her short skirt.
Keeping his glance brief and discreet, Anirudh quickly gathered the dice, turning back to Amy with an embarrassed grin. He tossed the dice into the cup and, without bothering to shake it, slammed it back down onto the table with a loud crash.
As Anirudh clumsily mimicked the dice toss, Amy's smile widened, clearly amused by his inexperience.
"Alright, let's see how I did," Amy said, lifting her cup with confidence.
Anirudh looked down, seeing three sixes, a five, and two threes, making for a solid total of twenty-eight.
"Great… I'm done for," he muttered, bracing himself as he lifted his own cup.
To his complete surprise, all six dice showed fives—giving him a win.
"I did it! I won!" Anirudh cheered, grinning ear to ear. Amy, on the other hand, was left rubbing her forehead, in disbelief at his luck.
"Fine, you've won. Ask me anything you want," Amy sighed, hoping he wouldn't take things in a direction she wasn't ready for.
"What should I even ask?" Anirudh said, clearly disappointed by his options.
"Anything! Just ask," Amy waved her hand impatiently.
"Really?"
"Yes, just get on with it!" Amy snapped, lifting her wine glass and taking a much-needed sip.
"So… what color is your underwear today?"
Amy spat her wine back into her glass in shock. Catching everyone's curious glances, she quickly laughed it off. "Nothing, the wine's just stronger than I expected," she explained, giving a nervous smile.
The others, including Eleanor and Aurora, chuckled softly and returned to what they were doing, though their eyes held a knowing gleam.
"You little troublemaker! Of all the things you could ask…" Amy hissed softly, shooting Anirudh a mock-angry look.
"Heh, you said I could ask anything… You're not backing out, are you?" Anirudh teased, his eyes wandering toward Amy's chest. With her slightly leaning forward, her cleavage appeared even more pronounced.
If she leaned in just a little more, he might even catch a glimpse of her underwear color.
"Purple and black…" Amy responded, her cheeks tinged pink. She felt a little awkward revealing such personal information to someone she barely knew.
Anirudh chuckled and casually shook the dice on the table before stopping abruptly. "Alright, I'm ready. Your move."
Amy shot him a playful yet determined glare, picked up the dice, and shook them confidently. She wasn't a beginner at dice games, and while she couldn't control the exact outcome, she knew how to score high.
With a practiced flick of her wrist, she tossed the dice before slamming the cup onto the table.
"Let's see if your luck holds," Amy challenged, lifting her cup as Anirudh did the same.
Amy's dice showed four sixes, a five, and a four—thirty-three points. But to her disbelief, Anirudh's dice revealed five sixes and a five—just shy of a perfect score.
Amy's heart sank. How could his luck be this ridiculously good?
