Bachelorette Bet

Holly Day and Emma Magnolia shuffled around the wreckage of last night, empties clinking, sequins scattered like cheap confetti across the floor. Holly kept thanking her, again and again, grateful for a send-off worth remembering before the ring tightened its grip. Emma paused, eyebrows high, and asked if that mess of dry humps and glittery boredom had really done the trick. Holly blinked, defensive, insisting the stripper had earned every bill that slid into her thong. Emma laughed, hard, the kind of laugh that means she’s about to ruin someone’s night. No way, Emma said. She could give a hotter dance in half the clothes and still make Holly forget her vows inside two minutes. The words hung there. Holly’s face burned, but pride twisted into heat and won out. Fine, Holly said. One lap dance. If Emma could top what the stripper had offered, Holly would pay up exactly the way she promised, nothing held back. Emma nodded, slow, already loosening her blouse. Holly dropped into the nearest chair, knees pressed tight, playing unbothered while her pulse hammered. Then the music kicked on low and Emma moved in. Hips rolling, breath warm against Holly’s neck, Emma pressed close enough that every soft curve found friction. Holly’s hands stayed glued to the armrests until they didn’t. Fingertips traced denim, slipped beneath fabric, testing heat. Emma rolled again, slower, mouth brushing the shell of Holly’s ear, promising without a word that the bet was already lost. By the time Emma’s thigh settled hard against her, Holly was wrecked, breathing shallow, gaze glassy. The song faded. Emma straightened, lips curled in victory, and Holly reached for her belt buckle with shaking fingers, already owing what she’d sworn she could resist.
