“Nope. It doesn’t work like that. What’s the big deal, anyway? It’s just a harmless kiss. I didn’t tell you to fuck him. Just give him a quick kiss. Or,” She fucking smiles again, but this time it’s nothing but sinister, “you could always revert back to truth and answer my question instead.”

I could just grab Bell’s Wednesday Addams' braids and rip them off her head.

“It’s ok, Kitten. It’s just a game.” Shaun says quietly to me, taking my hand and giving it a squeeze.

Just a game? Is he really alright with me kissing another guy?

What am I thinking? Of course he is. I kiss four other guys besides him. So why should he care? The thing is, I feel like he should be protesting. He should be angry and possessive and demand that I don’t go through with it.

Glancing down to his steel-greys, I’m pretty sure all I see is sincerity. Why does it hurt to see that? Why aren’t I happy about him being ok with this?

I’m too scared to look at Simon, Garrett and especially Marcus, so I avoid their gazes and walk across the circle to where Jared is sitting. He sits forward as I approach, looking smug again. He’s an attractive guy. Tall, blonde, blue eyes, tanned skin and athletically muscular. He also has a pretty cock. These are all things that have the Rhys George seal of approval. Yet as I lean down, my face mere inches from his, I look him in the eye and speak the truth.

“I’m sorry. Nothing personal, but I can’t kiss you, Jared. I will never betray my guys.” Then I stand back up.

Four very audible sighs of relief sound behind me, which I’m relieved to hear. Their responses aren’t as shocking as mine.

“I will never betray my guys.”

Am I cured of my inability to commit to a relationship? Yeah, sure, I’m with four or five guys, but my commitment to them as a whole is something I’ve never felt before.

The words Marcus hissed at me when I returned to school flit through my mind.

“Everyone’s welcome.”

It no longer applies, I realise. Not everyoneiswelcome to the Rhys George experience. Only they are—no one else.

“I guess you have to answer my question, then.” Bell tuts, and I shoot her a glare.

“Ask another. You fucking know I can’t answer that one.” I hiss, pointing my finger down at her in anger.

“Oh, fine. You’re so boring these days.” Bell rolls her eyes and then points behind me. “Have you had group sex with these four yet?”

“No,” I answer truthfully and return to my seat, a mix of emotions rolling through me. I’m pissed at Bell. She’s a fucking trouble maker. I’m happy that my guys didn’t want me to kiss Jared. I’m scared about how hard I’m falling for the guys. It’s new to me to feel this way. It feels almost impossible to feel stronger about them, yet as each day passes, I feel so much more for each of them than the day before. The scary part about it is knowing I could get seriously hurt if things don’t work out. It’s a pain I’m not sure I’d survive.

We play Truth or Dare some more. Shaun dares Simon to do a nudie run across the clearing to the toilets and back, which, of course, Simon does. Marcus dares Lexi to tell everyone their secret, to which she chooses dare, and he dares her to skull a beer which she hates and gags her way through. Garrett even dares Allister to kiss Dale, which he follows through with, making Dale blush, and they go awkwardly quiet afterwards.

“Bell. Truth or Dare?” Jared asks, and she gives him a blank stare.

“Dare, of course. Truth is so boring.” Of course, the truth is boring to Bell. She loves the drama too much.

Jared smirks. “Bell, I dare you to make out with Garrett for at least thirty seconds.”

All the air whooshes from my lungs, and everything moves in slow motion as I see Bell shoot Jared one of her rare smiles before she stands, making her way across the circle to Garrett.

MyGarrett.

Before I can stop myself, I leap from my chair and skid to a stop in front of Bell.

“You touch him, and I’ll end you!”

“Oooohhh,” Jared says unhelpfully.

Bell smirks as I feel a large, warm hand settle on my hip from behind.

“I wasn’t going to let her kiss me.” Garrett's deep voice breaks through my anger, and I instantly sink back into his warmth, my eyes fluttering closed for a moment as I let myself relax.

It’s ok, Rhys. He doesn’t want to kiss anyone else.
