Jim and Sarah had known each other for practically their entire lives. Their parents were friends and they lived across the street from each other, so there wasn't barely a day where one wasn't hanging out at the other one's house. Even though they were very close, there was still a lot that they didn't share.
Jim was very shy and kept mostly to himself when possible. He was a few inches away from being six feet tall and wasn't skinny or fat, just an average guy. Sarah was slightly more outgoing, but she was still perfectly content with it only being her and Jim when they hung out. Sarah was a few inches shorter than Jim, but her build was hard to read since she preferred to wear loose clothing.
Jim was hanging out with Sarah at her house one evening. They had just finished off a pizza and were about to watch a movie. It was raining and since Sarah's parents were out of town, Jim was keeping Sarah company during the storm. After a few minutes of discussion about what to watch, the power went out in the neighborhood.
"I guess that means we don't have to decide on a movie anymore." Sarah said sarcastically.
"I guess not. Looks like we are in for a boring evening until the power is back on." replied Jim.
Sarah lit a few candles and set them on the coffee table in front of them. They were able to see each other, but only barely since their eyes were still adjusting to the dark.
"We could talk. We don't do much of that and I know you have plenty to say if you wanted to." quipped Sarah.
"Talking just sounds dull. I'm more of a listener than a talker. You know that."
"Well, we could play something that would open you up and not be dull."
"It's too dark to play any games. I can barely see you with these candles."
"We could play truth or dare. It'll make the dares easier to do if you know you can't be seen that well."
"Fine, but whatever is said or done here stays between us. I'm only playing because it would be awkward sitting silent in the dark."
"Deal."
Neither Jim nor Sarah had played truth or dare before, so there was a lot of curiosity between the two of them. They weren't really sure of the rules, but neither one felt like admitting their innocence.
Sarah started, "Truth or dare?"
"I'll start with truth before I trust you with a dare."
"Hmmm...Who was your first kiss?"
"It was you when we were maybe three or four. I think we were pretending to get married or something. That's about all I remember. Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
Jim thought for a minute. "What do you normally sleep in?"
"Weird question, but normally just a long t-shirt and panties. Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"What do you sleep in?"
"Just a pair of boxers. It's easy to just slip out of everything else and fall asleep on the bed that way. Your pick."
Sarah now had the thought of Jim taking off his shirt and pants before he went to bed. Her thoughts weren't sexual in any way, but it was still on her mind now. "Truth."
"Would you rather spend a day at a nude beach or 30 seconds stripping on a stage."
"I don't know, I've never thought about it. Which ever one has the least amount of people around, I guess. Maybe the beach so I can hide in the ocean all day."
"Scared of being seen?"
"Maybe. I just like to be clothed around people. Truth or dare?"
"Dare"
Sarah's first thought was to make Jim take something off, but she figured if she started with that then he wouldn't pick any more dares. She decided to start small. "Go into the next room and remove your underwear. You'll have to spend the rest of the evening going commando."
Jim got up and went into the next room. It was dark without any lights, but he was able to find his way around enough for the dare. He slipped off his shorts and boxers. It was cool in the house, so he immediately felt chilled without any bottoms on. He hurried to put his shorts on and make his way back into the living room. As he entered, he tossed his boxers at Sarah.
"Done." Jim said as he sat down on the couch. "I feel a breeze, though. Your turn."
"Since you picked dare, it's only fair that I do, too."
"Let's see. Here, use my phone to take a closeup picture of one of your nipples. I won't look at it and at the end of the evening you can delete it. I just want you to spend a while knowing I have a picture of part of you."
Jim and Sarah turned their backs to one another. Sarah lifted her shirt to expose her right breast that was still cradled in her bra. She pulled down the cup to reveal her nipple. As fast as she could, she snapped a picture on Jim's phone in the candle light. It was a little blurry, but she figured he wouldn't ever see it anyway. She tucked her breast back in the cup and pulled her shirt down.
"Here you go. No peeking." she said as she handed the phone back to Jim. "Your turn."
"Truth."
"When was the last time you masturbated?
Jim started to turn red with embarrassment. "Who said I did that?"
"Don't lie to me. Everyone does it."
"What if I'm one of those guys who doesn't?"
