His eyes immediately narrowed, and a faint, amused grin passed over his lips. “Then you leave me no choice but to chase. Just like you want me to…”
I forgot about Selena for a moment and looked up at him. “Stop thinking you know me just because you read a few pages of my thoughts. You don’t know me, Cayden.”
“Keep telling yourself that.”
“Come on, if you play, I’ll play, Lil,” Josh interrupted from beside us.
Cayden shot him a dark look I wouldn’t want to be on the other end of.
“Okay, whatever,” I muttered, stepping forward toward Josh.
Josh was safe. Josh smelled normal and didn’t make my heart pound like I was having an attack.
Selena had organized people into a loose circle. Beckett smoked by an open window and seemed uninterested in playing.
Eve moved to the circle and tugged me down beside her. “You really want to play?”
“I don’t care. I’ve never played before. Maybe it’s a rite of passage.” I gave her a crooked smile.
“You’ve never played truth or dare? Do you live under a rock, Bug? Ha! I guess that tracks.” Selena cackled.
That girl was asking for a slap tonight.
I shrugged, and she only laughed harder, raising her voice to reach everyone. Cayden had settled in a chair, more or less in the game, and Josh had sat beside me.
“Bug’s never played truth or dare!” She turned to me. “I can safely say everyone here has, so I guess that makes you a truth or dare virgin.”
“Not all of us enjoy playing silly little kid’s games at parties,” a deep voice broke in. It was Cayden. His judgmental words quieted the snide comments about me going around the circle.
I risked a glance at him. Was he saying he’d never played either?
He watched me with a look that I couldn’t decipher. I quickly averted my eyes.
“Whatever,” Selena rallied. She sat, making sure to flash a large amount of bare thigh, and grinned evilly. “Who’s going first? I will! It’s only right that the new guy goes first! Cayden, truth or dare.”
He stared flatly at Selena for a moment. “Truth.”
Selena tapped her lip and then grinned. “Is there any girl who has caught your eye at HHH yet?”
Cayden inclined his head. “There is.”
Selena sat up straighter. “Who?”
Cayden raised an eyebrow at her. “That’s two questions, isn’t it? Don’t tell me you don’t know how to play your own game.”
Selena flushed and took a drink of her cocktail. “Whatever. It’s your turn.”
Cayden looked around the circle, and his gaze landed on me. Nerves writhed in the pit of my belly. He was going to pick on me, I just knew it. I stared down, trying to avoid the inevitable.
“Lily, truth or dare.”
What the fuck was the best option to go with right now?
“Truth,” I blurted quickly. I was genuinely afraid of what dare Cayden’s twisted mind could come up with.
Cayden smiled, and I immediately knew I’d chosen wrong.
He set down his drink and leaned forward, bracing his elbows on his knees. “Are you a virgin?”
