He lets out a huff of amusement and then picks up his glass. Mitch does too.
“Mitch,” Rebecca blurts out, blinking at him in surprise. “What the hell?”
“What?” he replies, pausing with his shot glass halfway to his mouth. “Some guy was trying to hit on my sister even after she said no, so I beat him the fuck up.”
Jace shoots him an approving look and leans across the table to clink his glass against Mitch’s. “Oh, I’ll drink to that.”
Mitch grins at the approval, and both of them down their shots.
Pain twists inside my chest. Victor would no doubt have been that kind of brother too. The protective older brother type who would beat someone up for disrespecting me. The kind of brother who would’ve stroked my hair while I bawled my eyes out about some guy who broke my heart in high school. Someone who would’ve always been there for me.
But instead, I’ve been alone most of my life.
My fingers tighten around my shot glass, and I have to resist the urge to fiddle with my watch.
“Alright, Jenn, you’re up,” Aurora says, and nudges her sister in the ribs.
“Oh, uhm…” Jenn clears her throat, looking like she’s scrambling for something to say.
Shrugging off my painful thoughts, I force my mind back to the plan at hand. To drink Jace under the table.
Discreetly leaning over, I whisper in Jenn’s ear. She gives me a small nod and a quick smile.
“Never have I ever fired a gun,” she declares, echoing what I told her to say.
Jace lets out a soft laugh and shakes his head at me while picking up his glass again. His eyes gleam. “If I didn’t know better, I would think that you’re trying to get me drunk.”
I flash him a devilish smile. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“My turn!” Aurora announces. Mischief sparkles in her green eyes as she says, “Never have I ever gotten my dick sucked.”
All three guys groan and roll their eyes at her.
“Oh, come on,” Mitch protests. “That’s cheating. You don’t even have a dick.”
“It’s called playing smart.” Aurora winks at him. “Now, drink.”
All three of them take a shot.
“Watch your back,” Mitch says, and grins at Aurora as he sets his empty glass down and refills it. “Revenge is heading your way.”
She just laughs and wiggles her eyebrows.
“Never have I ever had a threesome,” Trina says.
A jolt shoots through me when Jace picks up his glass and drinks again. Felicia does too.
“Felicia!” Trina squeals and gapes at her friend. “You’ve never told me that!”
“There’s not much to tell,” she replies with a shrug. “It was a pretty disappointing night, to be honest.”
Jace slides his gaze to her, and a sly smile plays over his lips. “Sounds like you just didn’t have the right partners.”
Heat creeps into Felicia’s cheeks, and she almost drops her now empty shot glass. A small noise comes from the back of Aurora’s throat while Trina stares at Jace with open longing.
Annoyance ripples through me.
“Mitch, your turn,” I say, cutting off any further discussion of this particular topic.
