Shane grabbed a bottle of vodka. “I’ll just drink from the bottle. I’m the only vodka person.”
Kyson nodded. He held up his bottle of wine. “Then, same.”
With everyone having their chosen drinks, they rearranged things to have the game board in the center.
Soren explained as Shane ensured the board was set up properly with each person having a Truth or Dare pie slice facing their direction. “Okay. All you have to do is flick the little arrow thing and if it lands on your truth or dare, then that’s what you have to do. Simple.”
Axton’s eyebrows rose. “Who gets to choose what truth or dare we have to do?”
“We just take turns,” Kyson explained. “That way, there’s no pressure on anyone who can’t think of anything to do.” Kyson looked around. “Who wants to go first?”
Banks wrapped his arm around Kyson’s waist. “I think you should.”
Kyson shrugged and flicked the arrow. It landed on Soren.
Soren was mid drink. His shoulders fell when it landed on truth. “Oh, dear.”
An evil-sounding laugh fell from Banks’ lips before he could stop it. He saw his chance. “Do you have a crush on anyone?”
Soren blushed hard. “Yes.”
It was impossible not to miss the way Shane went still.
Soren immediately flicked the arrow before anyone asked him who. It landed on Banks for truth. Soren sat forward so fast to focus on Banks, Banks wondered if he pulled a muscle in his back. “What are your intentions with my best friend?”
Kyson looked horrified.
Everyone else looked curious.
Banks didn’t even hesitate. “I hope one of these days, he’ll give in and marry me.”
Everyone looked shocked except Axton.
Axton merely nodded and flicked the arrow. It landed on Soren again, but for dare.
“Oh, dear.”
Banks laughed at his reaction. “This was your idea.”
He didn’t have time to respond before Shane shouted, “Show us your sick dance moves,” and then proceeded to fire up some music on his phone.
Soren covered his face with both hands, but then dutifully stood.
Every face was turned his way and smiling.
Even blushing brightly, Soren fulfilled his dare. To Banks’ shock, he was truly badass. He had the moves he claimed. After a few seconds, he reclaimed his pillow. His face couldn’t get redder.
Shane shook his head. “Holy shit. That was amazing.”
An uncomfortable-sounding chuckle fell from Soren’s lips. “It was Dad who made me take Judo. My mom put me in dance.”
“Well, I’m impressed,” Banks said before flicking the arrow. It landed on truth for Shane. Banks didn’t miss a beat. “Do you have a crush on anyone?”
“Yes.” He looked serious as hell.
Kyson squeezed his thigh. A silent message passed between them. They would have to do something to get these two together. Soren and Shane both deserved all the happiness in the world, and they would look good together. Banks would find a way to make it happen.
