“Truth or dare, asshole?”
He smiles slowly, his jaw ticking ever so slightly. “Truth.”
I narrow my eyes further. He always picks Dare.
That’s unusual.
It takes me a hot minute to think of a question, but when I do, it’s perfect.
“What’s therealreason you told everyone it wasmewho fucked Ms D’Onofrio in Year 12 when it wasyou?”
He’s quick to repeat the same line he’s always fed me, though it’s become less palatable as time has passed.
“Cade, man…someone needed to increase your ‘cool’ factor. We have a reputation to uphold on dad’s behalf. The sons of Sutton North—”
I cut him off abruptly. Suddenly pissed as hell that he’d continue to lie his way out of it again. “No, that’s not it, man. Stop bullshitting me.”
My eyes flit to Summer’s, remembering the day I told her the truth. Reliving the day, she’d told me that I don’t need to live up to anyone else’s expectations of me—and I’d finally believed it.
“You fucked Mrs D’Onofrio, told her that you wereme,and then proceeded to tell the entire student body. For fuck’s sake, I can’t even come clean to my best friends without looking like a fucking idiot, Archer. I can’t tell anyone the truth—”
It’s his turn to cut me off when he sits forward suddenly. “Aww, poor little favourite child, hmm? Has a rock star rep and his big brother to thank for it—and he’s still complaining.”
I grit my jaw and repeat my initial question. “Why did you say I fucked her, Arch? Answer the damn question.”
He stares at me, a pleased-as-punch smile front and centre on his face, and I barely curb the desire to knock it clear off with my fist. Eventually, he speaks, and his answer is as cryptic as ever.
“Because, dear brother, you’re far too perfect.”
His eyes move past me to Summer as though that answer should please me. It doesn’t, but I let it go, knowing I won’t get anything further from him on the topic.
“Truth or dare, little deer.”
I follow his line of vision just as Summer lifts her chin and arches a sleek brow. Her tone is confident, her inner warrior on display, and fuck if it’s not the ultimate turn-on.
“Dare, Archer.”
Without missing a beat, Archer leans forward. “I dare you to kiss Layla.”
I can see her swallow roughly, her nostrils flaring with ill-concealed irritation before she rises to stand. Once she reaches Layla, she extends her hand to help Layla up, but before she can press their mouths together, Archer calls out.
“With tongues. Sixty seconds. Go.”
My teeth almost chip inside my mouth with how much I’m grinding my molars in vexation. My shit-stirring wanker of a twin.
We’ll be sharing words as soon as I’m able because the world is beginning to gojusta little tits up, and I have a sneaking suspicion it was the blue pill that has done the damage.
And in record fucking time, clearly.
I blink in rapid succession as Summer rolls her eyes at my brother’s fuckery. Layla shrugs and then giggles at her boyfriend’s request before Summer presses her lips against her friend’s.
“Tongues, ladies. Or it doesn’t count! Andtrust me, you don’t want to forfeit…”
Summer huffs in irritation, but even so, her tongue slides out to tease Layla’s lips open. Layla wraps her arms around Summer’s taller frame and pulls my girl’s head down to meet her searching mouth so that she can deepen the kiss.
“Fuck, yes. Today got a whole lot more interesting. Wouldn’t you say, Cade?”
