Last night we were at my boyfriend's parents' place for a family gathering and during the evening I was left alone in the cellar with one of his cousins for a couple of minutes.

His cousin is the same age as my boyfriend, and even though they're not very close, they've always been competing against each other since they were kids.

I'm honestly not attracted to him, but the whole situation was particularly thrilling, and I was thinking of the people upstairs who must have been wondering where we'd been.

The truth is, we've only discussed about wine down there, but when we went back up, I did everything I could to make my boyfriend think something happened.

The second he saw me reappear with him, I could see in his eyes he was upset. I acted as if I was feeling embarrassed, and I asked him to be so kind as to go and get me a glass of water. I was continually readjusting my bra straps, and as I sipped this glass of water, I pretended I was somehow trying to rinse out my mouth with it.

I know he clearly understood what I wanted him to imagine, and perhaps so did everyone else around us. I also innocently asked him if he had a mint to freshen my breath, but when he said he didn't, I told him to ask his mother, who probably had some.

He looked angry and outraged for a few minutes like this, but this time I didn't want to be too cruel and I told him I'd fooled him and I was only kidding. But I know there's some fear somewhere in the back of his mind that it might have really happened.
