‘What’s the options? Any minging ones?’
‘I’ve had most of them and liked them all. I’m not going to tell you what they are, though,’ she said, playfully hiding the packet under her arm. ‘I’m going to give you one, and you can guess what it is.’
‘Sounds like a challenge. Count me in.’ Jen straightened herself, as if readying her body and mind for what lay ahead. She pulled at her T-shirt, getting everything just so, and shut her eyes. ‘Right, hit me.’
Holly tore open the packet and picked one at random. ‘You keeping your eyes shut?’
‘Of course. I don’t want the colour to give it away. I’m no cheat.’
‘You think you’ll be able to guess it just on taste? It’s pretty broad.’
Jen waved a hand in Holly’s direction, her lips pursed as she battled a smile. Holly took the opportunity to drink her in. With no eyes on her, she could leer all she wanted. Jen did have good boobs. Holly bit her lip as her core pinged with desire. This was meant to be about hitting the reset. She shook her head as if her brain were an Etch-A-Sketch. Clear once more.
‘I have a very sophisticated palate,’ Jen said, unable to keep her face straight. ‘Now, come on, life’s boring with my eyes closed.’
‘Gimme your hand then.’
‘Just pop it in.’
‘Where?’
‘In my mouth. That’s usually how people taste things.’
Okay then.It was a good thing Jen’s eyes were shut. Holly couldn’t hide the tremor in her hand as she brought the sweet to Jen’s parted lips. She took it between her teeth, sucking the chickpea in as Holly’s fingers hovered, just touching Jen’s soft lips.
She snapped her eyes open and Holly pulled her hand back like she’d just been caught stealing money from the till.
‘Well?’ she asked, her voice hoarse, lust clogging her throat.
Jen chewed as she thought. ‘Tough one. I might need a clue. Is there fruit involved?’
‘You’re giving in quicker than I thought you would,’ Holly teased.
‘The prosecco has numbed my taste buds. Obviously.’
‘Go on, have a bash and I’ll let you know if you’re in the right ballpark.’
Jen tilted her head up as if looking to the sky for answers. ‘Strawberry. But there’s something else.’ She smacked her lips together, searching for the missing ingredient. ‘Strawberries and cream?’
‘Ooft. So close. I’m actually impressed.’
‘You doubted me?’ she replied, putting on the horror.
‘Only for a split second. So, do you want to know what it was?’
‘Yep, put me out of my misery.’
Holly paused, building the suspense. ‘Raspberry—’ Jen slapped her knee, gutted she was so close. ‘—cheesecake.’
‘Never would have got that. But raspberry, how did I fudge that?’ She shook her head, devastation clear, like she’d just lost the million-dollar prize on a quiz show.
‘Right. My turn,’ Holly said, passing the packet to Jen. She got comfy and closed her eyes. She could feel Jen gaze at her, although probably not in the same way as she’d done to her, and suddenly felt exposed. The hairs on her arms stood to attention. She smiled, but only to hide how awkward she felt.
‘Open up,’ Jen said, her voice deeper than usual. This little game was doing nothing to quell the fire stoking in Holly’s belly. She took her time in accepting the sweet, making a show of licking it with the tip of her tongue as she opened her eyes.
Holly put a hand up to cover her mouth, still chewing as she spoke. ‘Easy. Tiramisu.’
‘Right, well, that’s cheating.’
