Tony looked at the five cards in his hand:
7 of spades,
5 of hearts,
K of spades,
6 of clubs,
and the 8 of hearts.
He quickly noticed the 5-6-7-8 run and realised that, seeing as he had nothing else, he may as well risk going for the straight. He placed the King down and took a new card from Heath... his heart dropped at the site of the Ace of Spades...
Meanwhile, the other players dropped their unwanted cards and picked up new ones, and soon everyone was ready to show their hand. Heath showed a pair of 10's, Denise three 5's, and Bev a pair of 2's. Tony sighed as he showed them that he had nothing.
"Well, you know the rules. What are you going to take off?" asked Denise with a cheeky, lopsided grin.
"Hmmm..." Tony thought as he looked at what he was wearing: a shirt, jacket, pants, his boxers underneath, and his shoes and socks... wait!
"Do watches count?" he asked, taking his off his wrist.
"Afraid not. No accessories or jewellery." Denise answered with another of her enigmatic smiles.
"Looks like it'll have to be the shoes then..." Tony said, kicking off his shoes.
"And the socks, baby!" Bev said, leaning close against Tony. He looked into her excited face and realised she hadn't been this horny for ages.
"She's right, honey." Denise said.
"Alright, alright..." Tony complied, pulling off his socks and putting them in his shoes.
"Ok, winner deals, so it looks like that's me again..." Heath said, and began to shuffle once more.
Heath stopped shuffling and begun to deal... |
