CHAPTER THREE

A game of Truth or Dare was the beginning of it all.

The lights were dim. A Bluetooth speaker in the corner pulsed music. In the basement of the dorm house, bodies were spread out on mismatched couches and beanbags. Half-empty bottles, crimson solo cups, and the unpleasant odour of marijuana permeated the air.

This isn't where I should be. The invite list didn't even include me. However, Lila, my flatmate, pulled me in as if it were a rite of passage.

"Just one night of college fun, Amelie," she replied.

"Then you can go back to being a virgin in peace.”

I knew she meant it, even though she said it in jokes.

I therefore knew what would happen when the bottle whirled and fell on me.

Lila smiled slyly. "Dare."

The room gave a collective hoot.

I took a deep breath. "All right. Dare.

It was a sword of a voice. "I dare you to seduce Jace Kingston."

The whole room became silent.

Dark-haired, sharp-jawed, muscular in a hoodie, with a cigarette between his fingers, Jace sat on the leather couch at the far end of the room, and eyes shot towards it. On campus, the most coveted and dreaded senior. The women flocked to him. The professors ignored it. Additionally, there were rumours that he had previously been expelled for a violent incident that was hidden up.

He caught my eye as he looked up, bored.

Then he grinned.

I felt sick to my stomach.

His voice was rough as he said, "You scared, little freshman?"

The laughter from everyone in the room provoked me.

"No backing out," Lila's arrogant warning said.

With my heart pounding, I stood. "All right."

He cocked his head.

"Come on over here.”

I approached gently. My pride was hotter than my weak knees. He patted the space between them and spread his legs a little.

"Take a seat." I blushed, but I did as I was told. Even though his hands hadn't touched me yet, his very presence was enough to make my nerves tingle.

He leaned closer and said as his breath touched my neck.

"Are you certain you're prepared to participate in this game?"

I didn't respond. I simply nodded.

"Good," he said.

Then, unexpectedly, his hand moved under my skirts and up my thigh, stopping just short of my sensitive spot.

I let out a gasp.

There was a shout throughout the room.

He said, "You have until the end of the party to make me finish."

"But if you don't succeed...

I took a swallow.

"What if I don't succeed?"

He smiled.

"Then it's my turn to challenge you.”

    CHAPTER THREE At last, they surrender. The quiet between us had taken on a life of its own. The night in the rain, the evening Lena kissed me, the night my best friend tasted like warmth and pity the night everything went crazy was a week later. A week of half-written apologies, ignored messages, and lengthy, painful pauses during which I questioned whether I had dreamed everything. She was missed. Not in the intimate, informal manner of a buddy. But in a deep, throbbing hunger that rendered sleep seem futile. When she did text at last: Come on over. We must speak.In less than fifteen minutes, my pulse was racing, my palms were warm, and I felt as though I was entering an irrevocable situation when I arrived at her apartment door. And I was—because, despite my fear, I secretly desired whatever was beyond. Before I could knock, the door opened. Lena remained still. sloppy dark hair. Her eyes were puffy, as if she hadn't slept. As if she had shed tears.She said, "W

    CHAPTER TWO We met according to the note and what was written in it. It seemed as though the world had ceased to revolve. She continued to kiss me. The universe was still for a brief, breathless minute. There was no sound, no thinking, no heartbeat—just the taste of her mouth against mine, delicate and trembling, like a secret neither of us intended to share. Lena. My best friend. When I eventually drew away, our foreheads still locked together, her breath shuddered against my lips. Stormy, startled, and glimmering with something I couldn't identify, her eyes were wide. Perhaps the searing sensation in my chest was the same thing.They became so entangled that I was unable to distinguish between them. "Tell me I didn't just do that," I said in a tremulous murmur. Her breath caught. "You didn't." “But I did.” "Yes," she said, her gaze returning to my mouth. “You did.” Between us, there was a humming, burning silence that was heavy with all that was unsaid. The room sm

    Chapter OneEven at midnight, the city hums, whispers, and sparkles, never truly sleeping. I could see the hazy reflections of car lights gliding across streets slippery with rain from the balcony of my flat. On the railing, my wine glass was half-empty, with condensation forming at the bottom. I should have been relaxing after a demanding week, but all I could think about was her.Lena.She was the next-door resident. My closest friend, my best buddy since college, and the one particular person who could understand me without using words. Last year, we had relocated into the same building, but in different flats on the same level. Perhaps it was fate, but it seemed safe and convenient. But for some reason, it didn't feel safe at all lately. Before I proceeded to turn to look at her, I heard a gentle knock on my door. Her signature is three soft taps. Lena was standing barefoot, her hair wet from the rain, her jacket slung loosely over one of her shoulders, and a smile tu

    Chapter ThreeThat night, rain pattered quietly on the dorm windows, a subdued cadence that complemented Lana's steady heartbeat. It was quiet on campus, the kind of silence that precedes tests and farewells. Her laptop was open as she sat on her bed, idly going over her notes. Her gaze, however, strayed to her phone every few minutes. Not a message. No phone call. Since their last meal two nights ago, Ethan has not been in contact. He was simply busy, she reminded herself. However, the quiet was heavier than it ought to be. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.Ethan was standing there when she opened it, soaked from the rain, with a sheepish expression on his face and a sweater clinging to his shoulders. "I forgot my umbrella." Lana felt a jolt in her heart. "You should have texted me." With a shrug, he entered. "It would have destroyed the surprise." Trying not to smile, she gave him a towel from her desk. "You appear insane." "Very attract

    Chapter TwoCompared to the night's creak, the rooftop lights gave out a little buzz. Ethan's words echoed in the air like a challenge Lana wasn't sure how to respond to, and she could still feel his warmth in her fingers. "Go for it," she had said. However, her confidence seemed to have been taken by the wind now that she was present there, just inches from him. With a steady, amused stare, Ethan leaned backwards against the railing. "So," he said nonchalantly, "what are you going to do next, naughty girl?" Lana's forehead raised. "You think I've got one." He remarked, "Oh, you always have one." "You prefer to act as though you don't.”She crossed her arms. "Perhaps I'm reserving it for the ideal time." He laughed. "You mean when you believe it will surprise me the most?" "Exactly." Like a dance that none of them wanted to stop, their banter flowed effortlessly. Below them, cars swerved between streets like shimmering insects as the city lights twinkled. Lana

    Chapter OneEverything was bathed in a honey-gold light as the late afternoon sun streamed through the high windows of the campus café at Crawford University. The aroma of freshly baked coffee beans permeated the air while calm music hummed in the background. Pretending to study her notes, Lana sat legs crossed on the couch by the corner, swirling her iced latte with a straw. She was waiting, not actually studying. Awaiting his arrival. Ethan. A senior majoring in psychology. He had black hair, broad shoulders, and a serene confidence that turned heads wherever he went. Not only was he her partner, but he was also her quiet chaos and favourite diversion.He often referred to her as his "naughty girl," a name that, even though he only used it in whispers when they were by themselves, always made her pulse beat a beat. "You're still acting like you're studying?" From behind her, Ethan's booming voice could be heard. After a slight start, Lana looked up to discover him st
