It isn’t until Colin takes out his phone, downloads a Truth or Dare app and sets it on 18+ that it takes a turn.

Miles seems surprisingly uncomfortable with that decision. He’s usually the one to live after “go big or go home”. But I suppose when half of us is drunk, two are tipsy and he’s the only sober one, I, too, wouldn’t like the idea very much.

Colin types all our names into the app, letting technology randomly decide whose turn it is. A second later, he looks up and smirks at me. “You’re the first victim,” he says. “Truth or dare, Aaron?”

“Truth.” I am not fucking with technology. Not when it comes to truth or dare. God knows what the dares will be. Could be anything from drinking a beer all at once to stripping in front of everyone and remaining naked for the rest of the game. Even illegal shit isn’t off the charts.

He rolls his eyes as he reads the question on his screen. “That’s a boring one. Are your first and last crush similar appearance-wise?”

My eyes connect with Sofia’s. The mix of curiosity and anticipation doing wonders for my dick. Never in my life has the way someone looked at me gotten me hard in seconds. Let alone aninnocentlook.

I grab my glass filled with overpriced whiskey and take a sip. If I’m going to answer this question honestly, I’ll need the liquid-courage. “Same person, but older now.”

I’m not sure if Sofia’s reddened cheeks are from alcohol or if she’s blushing because she knows very well I am talking about her. Either way, she looks amazing. But as it seems, she always does.

“What a surprise,” Lily chirps then sighs deeply.

It’s the kind of sighIcan feel inmybones. It’s like she feels all the frustration I do, only that I might feel it a million times more intense.

Everyone’s looking at Colin as he lets the app choose the next victim. It so happens to be Sofia. She chooses truth, just like I did.

“In your opinion, who’s the hottest person in this room and would you make out with them or not?”

I had my eyes on her when I answered my question, now Sofia has her eyes on me when she answers hers. Torturing me when she takes a little too long to answer. “I’ll have to go with the second hottest because the first one is in a happy relationship.”

Colin smacks his hand against my back, laughing loudly. “How badly did that bruise your ego?”

Too fucking much. “Not at all.” My jaw tightens as Sofia smirks at me, then has the audacity to keep her eyes locked with mine while taking a sip from her cup. It’s like she can see right through me, knowing her words affected me more than I am admitting.

“Please,” Lily says. “You almost cried when Winter told you she’d choose Colin over you if he was interested.”

I did not. I was pissed because my girlfriend—mind you, at that time we were an actual couple—straight up told me she would rather be with my best friend if he would have wanted to.

“Answer the actual question, Icicle.”

Mischief gleams in her eyes when she says, “Grey. He’s the second hottest, and yes, I’d fuck him if I had the chance to.”

Grey leans back in his seat, one arm resting on the back of the sofa behind me. “By all means, Sofia. I’m down if you are.”

What the hell is happening?

Drunk Grey really is a whole other version of him. One that’s thinking with his dick rather than his brain.

Colin proceeds with the game, most definitely sensing that I’m about to explode from all this.

I have never felt jealousy,ever. And if that thing will always feel like I want to rip my best friend’s head off only because Sofia chose him over me, then I wish to never experience it ever again.

Miles is the next victim. Dared to kiss one person in the room he feels would be an awesome kisser. It’s one of the less bad dares. Not ideal, but it could’ve been something worse.

However, Miles is not stupid. He looks at each of us for a second, going at this logically. Something the rest of us lack right now thanks to the alcohol.

If I would have gotten this dare, you best believe my lips would be attached to Sofia’s right now. And for the rest of our li—Fuck no. Don’t go there.

Sofia is the only option for him though, so I’m not sure why he takes so long to decide. If he chooses Lily, Colin will throw his fists. Or the couch. Since Sofia is single, there won’t be anything thrown his way when he kisses her.

Except for my whole entire body, maybe. If I can’t restrain myself.

Expecting Miles to turn toward Sofia, I already dig my fingers into my thighs, waiting for me to go off like a bomb. But then Miles shrugs, turns toward Grey instead, cups Grey’s face with his hands and pulls him in for a kiss.
