You Bet Your Ass

It’s Your Ass: Don’t bet something you aren’t willing to give up.

The low spring sun streamed through the large arched window as Jenna flung herself across the plush sofa. The sunny beams warmed the red tints in her straight, honey-blonde locks cascading down her toned back. Her small, taut body sunk comfortably into the firm cushions, her pink lips pursed in anticipation at the prospect of the battle to ensue.

The TV flickered to life, and the Mortal Kombat 11 title screen appeared before them, illuminating Jenna’s sharp, competitive gaze.

“Alright, you ready for yet another ass-whoopin’?” she taunted, clutching the PlayStation controller.

Matt walked in with two cold sodas and plopped down beside her. Even seated, his toned arms bulged under his white t-shirt, his lean body stretched out in a graceful sprawl.

He casually slung an arm across the back of the sofa, matching Jenna’s satisfied grin.

“You’re so confident,” he drawled sarcastically. “But it’s not over ’til the—”

“Fat lady sings?” Jenna inserted with an eye-roll. “Really, Matt, that’s so original.”

He grinned. “Hey, it works, doesn’t it? I can’t help it if your victories have become so predictable.”

They shook hands, a playful promise sparking between them. The loser had to give the winner a massage, and Jenna couldn’t deny the pleasant tension building in her core – she relished the chance to wipe that smug expression off Matt’s face.

She quickly kicked his ass in the first match, surprising no one more than Matt.

Jenna’s blue eyes gleamed with victory as they clashed again, but shock lit through her as Matt got the better of her in their second match, and her expression shifted into a fierce determination.

As they hit their eighth match, Jenna had seven victories to Matt’s one, and an air of gloating filled the room.

Frustrated with his consistently narrow losses, Matt decided to up the stakes and let his competitive nature take over.

“Let’s make this a little more interesting. First to eight matches wins. But let’s raise the stakes, shall we?” Matt said, crushing his soda can.

“You’ve lost seven already. What makes you think you have any shot?” Jenna asked him incredulously.

Matt smiled. “Then you should be fine with it since you’re sure to win.”

“It’s your funeral.” Jenna snickered.

“If I come back and win, I get to fuck you in the ass.” Matt had a broad, devil’s grin spread across his face.

Jenna was taken aback when her best friend made a shocking proposal. “What?” she exclaimed incredulously, shooting him a disbelieving glare. “You can’t be serious. Why would I ever agree to that? And what would I even get out of it?” Jenna rolled her eyes in frustration.

Matt debated if his cheekiness had gone too far. “What’s the problem? Unless you’re afraid I’ll beat you,” he challenged Jenna, knowing it would instigate her competitive nature.

He knew her well, having grown up alongside her as best friends. They’d shared everything, from the jungle gym to embarrassing secrets to their love lives – except, that is, for the fact that Matt had fantasized about this exact thing many times over the years.

“Quite a bold request, considering how far behind you are,” Jenna replied with a quirked eyebrow and a smirk. “But if that’s what you want, then fine. Just know that my virgin butt is safe and sound.” She laughed and added, “Trust me, you won’t be getting your hands on my ass anytime soon.”

Matt’s grin grew wider, his eyes gleaming with excitement and mischief. Jenna couldn’t help but feel a flutter of anticipation and anxiety in her chest. The thought of Matt taking her in such a taboo way was both thrilling and terrifying.

Despite spending so much time with him, this could completely change their dynamic. Her heart raced as she considered the consequences of such a wager. She knew Matt would never force her into anything she didn’t want, but the prospect of surrendering herself to him in such a profoundly personal way was daunting.

Matt leaned towards Jenna and looked into her eyes. He sensed Jenna was hesitant about something, so he broke the ice. “I know you’re probably wondering why I went the way I did. Well, I have to confess that I’ve had a thing for your booty for a while,” he chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. “Besides, what’s a little butt sex between friends?” He intentionally wanted to make her feel uneasy and throw her off balance so he could have a chance.

Jenna’s eyes blazed with a newfound fire, “You don’t stand a chance, so I’m not worried. And since you decided to take it that far, knowing I have a boyfriend, if, no, when I win, you are my bitch for a week. You have to wait on me hand and foot and be at my beck and call.” She continued, savoring the thought of having Matt under her control for seven days.

Matt raised an eyebrow, intrigued by her proposition. “I see. You drive a hard bargain, but I think I can handle that,” he replied with a wicked grin. Jenna couldn’t help but feel the excitement in her chest as she imagined Matt at her every command, catering to her every whim.

She knew it was just a game to pass the time, but there was no denying the allure of such an arrangement. It added to her competitive fire and her desire to win every time. Now, she had a reason that she had to win. She had agreed to it, but she couldn’t imagine having to pay up. Her boyfriend had tried to get her to let him stick it in her butt before, and she was adamantly against it, telling him there was no way. She couldn’t imagine allowing Matt to do the same, even if it was a playful bet between friends.

Jenna felt a shiver of excitement and nervousness ripple through her body as she imagined the potential consequences of their wager. The thought of Matt being completely submissive, to have him obey her every command, made her heart race and her palms grow sweaty.

If there was one thing Jenna enjoyed almost as much as gaming, it was winning. “Let’s get to it then. I just need one more win, and I have a slave for a week,” Jenna chuckled.

“You have no idea how much I’m gonna enjoy that big booty of yours, Jen. Seven in a row, here I come.” Matt picked up the controller and was ready for the next match. He knew he had to win seven in a row without losing one himself. It was a nearly impossible task, but the reward would be wonderful.

Jenna took a deep breath, preparing for the next round and what it could mean for her and Matt. Their relationship had long been filled with competition and camaraderie, but they added a new layer this time.

Matt’s fingers deftly moved over the controller as they started the game, his eyes dancing between the screen and Jenna’s face. It was a sight to behold how she chewed her bottom lip in concentration, her long blonde hair cascading over her shoulders.

That petite, toned figure was the embodiment of strength and beauty. The fierce determination that shone in her blue eyes was enough to make him falter. Only one win for her meant losing a chance to claim a prize he’d lusted after for years. It was his only chance, and he wouldn’t let it slip through his fingers.

Jenna had always been more competitive, even as a child. They pushed each other in games and life, and the very essence of their friendship was one long series of friendly challenges.

They’d been like this for as long as they can remember, ever since they became best friends in grade school when Matt moved into the neighborhood. Their shared love for video games, especially competitive ones, had kickstarted their journey from kids to adults. And somehow, they had never considered anything more than friendship in that journey. If Matt won, that would all change.

Winning would allow him to push the boundaries of their friendship and indulge in his long-hidden fantasies.

Jenna’s heart hammered as she glanced at Matt, their typical easy banter setting her on edge. She knew they were just playing a game, but the wager felt like something more. It was almost like an electric current pulsing through the room, crackling with tension.

Jenna took a deep breath and forced herself to focus on the game.

She didn’t want Matt to know how much his proposition had thrown her. Mortal Kombat was a fighting game in which strategy, skill, and execution were crucial.

She danced around Matt’s moves, patiently waiting for the moment to launch a brutal combo that left him stunned and open for a finishing blow. Jenna smirked but was hit with Scorpion’s signature spear attack, sending her character into a fiery abyss with a satisfying scream.

“One down, six to go,” Matt taunted.

Jenna scowled, trying to hide her frustration. She had been so close to winning, yet Matt had managed to snatch victory from her grasp at the last possible second.

“Fine, you got your little victory,” she said, sounding nonchalant. “But I won’t let you win again.”

Matt just chuckled and shook his head. “We’ll see about that. You may have won seven, but I’ve got six in a row locked down.”

The excitement in his voice startled Jenna, and she refocused her attention on the game. She gritted her teeth and decided to pull out all the stops, launching into a fierce and unpredictable chain of combos. The room was filled with the chaotic noises of punches, kicks, and yells as both players immersed themselves in the game.

Jenna’s heart pounded. Sweat beaded on her brow as she squeezed the controller, eyes darting between Matt and the screen.

Their characters’ tense standoffs were punctuated by brutal combo attacks and special moves. The familiar thrill of battle coursed through Jenna’s veins, but the stakes had never been so high.

Matt squared his shoulders, buckling down for the challenge. Every previous loss only fueled his drive to win, his competitiveness taking over. As he strategized, he thought about the prize that lay within reach.

Jenna gritted her teeth and focused on the game. She couldn’t let Matt win again. She was too close to victory and could not back down now. With renewed determination, Jenna launched into her next match. Her fingers danced across the controller, executing complicated sequences of button presses and directional inputs. Each move was precise and deadly, fueled by her competitive spirit and desire to claim victory.

But Matt was no slouch. Despite his earlier losses, he had regained his momentum. His fingers moved in a blur as he executed devastating combinations that sent Jenna’s character flying across the screen.

It was frustrating and annoying how easily he seemed to counter her moves.

Their characters danced across the screen, a deadly dance between two skilled opponents. Sweat beaded on Jenna’s brow as she strained to keep up with Matt’s relentless assault.

Her fingers danced across the controller, every movement filled with tense urgency. The thrill of combat surged through her veins as she focused on the screen, her consciousness consumed by the life-like depiction of two warriors locked in a deadly struggle for dominance.

The living room transformed into a vibrant battlefield, illuminated by the warm glow of the television and punctuated by the frenetic sounds of punches, kicks, and screams.

The energy pulsing through the room made the air crackle with electricity and anticipation. Jenna and Matt pushed beyond their limits with each exchange, striving to outmaneuver one another. At that moment, nothing mattered but this intense bout – not the weight of the consequences or the possibility of losing. The problem was that Jenna couldn’t push back the thoughts of what losing would mean for her.

Jenna was sweating now, and Matt managed to run off three more in a row and close the gap. She was still ahead seven to five, but that was too close for comfort. She started getting a little nervous. She couldn’t let him win. Her mind raced with furious thoughts. Why had she agreed to his stupid proposal anyway? No, she wasn’t going to lose. Her virgin ass was going to stay that way.

“Would you look at that? Still cocky?” Matt laughed at his pun. “What a sweet, sweet ass.”

“Shut up. You got lucky. I still only need one more. You are going down,” Jenna said in a deep and gritty voice. She tightened her grip on the controller and readied herself for the next match.

Matt just smirked and leaned back, crossing his arms. “Bring it on, princess. I like it when you’re riled up.”

Jenna couldn’t help but feel angry and humiliated at his words. Damn it, she thought. He was getting in her head. She needed to focus; this match was crucial. If she could win one more match, she would claim this victory – and her dignity would remain intact.

She clenched her jaw and tapped the final button: fight!

Their characters leaped into action, and Matt struck with the deadliest moves he could muster. Jenna’s fingers moved as swiftly as possible to counter, but panic set in. The screen blurred before her as Matt’s character lunged forward, their fists flying. Exchanges of blows echoed around the room, the atmosphere thickening under desperation.

As the battle raged on, Jenna continued to struggle against Matt’s seemingly unbreakable offense until, at last, she succumbed. Matt had finally tied it, winning two more matches, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jenna’s shoulders slumped forward, losing her patience. She had just been up seven to one, and now it was tied. She wished she’d never agreed to such a bet. She never thought he’d get this close. Now, it was sudden death.

Jenna could feel the sweat trickling down her forehead and back. Her heart was hammering erratically. That last match had been humiliating: She had been cornered into a wall and pummeled mercilessly by Matt. The controller felt slippery in her grasp, and she knew it was a sign of her nervousness getting the better of her.

But she couldn’t back down now. She just had to win one more game. She was determined, focusing on every move, executing them precisely as she pressed the buttons and manipulated the joystick with expertise.

Jenna fought valiantly, her eyes locked onto the screen, her breath shallow and quick.
