Eventually the game came back around to Jillian. She sat for a few minutes, looking at each of us, a sly little smile playing across her face, then she called out my name.

"Okay, Camille, I pick you."

I groaned. I thought Jillian had crossed the line a little on her last turn, had been a little mean, and I couldn't imagine what she might ask of me.

"I need a good one for the birthday girl," she said, her voice quiet, her expression mischievous. She tented her index fingers and put them to her mouth, as if deep in thought.

"Okay, maybe it's time to get a little kinky," she said.

My stomach dropped. I knew this one was going to be bad.

"If you could have anyone in this group - except for yourself, of course - tie you up and have their way with you, who would it be?"

Everyone kind of laughed, though it was a nervous laugh. I think everyone wondered what Jillian was up to.

Andrew sighed, looked at me, shrugged and then sat back down.

"So tell us, Camille, who would you allow to tie you up and make you theirs? Truth or dare?"

I looked around the room, staring at each of my friends for a few seconds before moving on to the next. I'd never been all that attracted to Ricky or Aaron, and I'd never really been interested in girls, though I have to admit I'd often thought if I ever did want to experiment, it would be with Jillian. She was beautiful.

But when I thought hard, looked deep inside, I knew the answer, and I wasn't going to say it.

"Dare," I said.

Groans and laughter from everyone. I think I disappointed them, especially Ricky.

"Okay," Jillian said. She stood, stepped to the table and opened her overnight bag. I suddenly had a bad feeling. She pulled out a pair of handcuffs -
