Chapter 90 Don\u2019t You Dare Bully Deanna<\/p>\n
Violet\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
The buzz of alcohol faded almost instantly as I glanced at Deanna. Her face had gone pale.<\/p>\n
Dammit!<\/p>\n
I had planned to use this game to put those scumbags and their girlfriends in their place.<\/p>\n
But of course, Deanna, who was clueless about games, had to lose first.<\/p>\n
I looked across the couch and caught Jake smirking, proud as ever.<\/p>\n
No way. Is that jerk about to get lucky because of this?<\/p>\n
If she kissed him, would that mean she\u2019d fall right back into his arms?<\/p>\n
My mind was a complete mess. Before I could think, I jumped to my feet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll take Deanna\u2019s punishment.\u201d<\/p>\n
After all, kissing a guy is the same no matter who it is. Just close your eyes and pretend it\u2019s acting.<\/p>\n
Peggie quickly leaned in. \u201cWell, since Violet offered, it\u2019s all just for fun. Why not let her take it instead?\u201d<\/p>\n
Robert shoved the girl next to him aside with a grin. \u201cPerfect. Guess I\u2019ll do the honors and kiss you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I shot him a look full of disgust.<\/p>\n
Of all people, it would never be an idiot like him.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when Jake spoke, his tone sharp, \u201cWhat, we\u2019re changing the rules now? Since when can you just switch it up?\u201d<\/p>\n
I almost swore out loud.<\/p>\n
This jerk couldn\u2019t have made it clearer\u2013he wanted Deanna to kiss him.<\/p>\n
The host stepped in awkwardly. \u201cRules are rules. Ms. Wiley, please pick someone here to kiss.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna gave a calm smile. \u201cFair\u2019s fair. I\u2019ll do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
My heart jumped into my throat. I shook my head at her, desperate.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t do it. We can just quit the game.<\/p>\n
But the next second, Deanna turned to me. She cupped my face in her hands, her cool fingers making me freeze. Then her lips brushed softly against mine.<\/p>\n
My eyes flew wide open, and my mind went blank. No way\u2013did she just kiss me, her best friend?!<\/p>\n
Deanna leaned back with a smile. \u201cThat should be enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
1\/2<\/p>\n
Chapter 90 Don\u2019t You Dare Bully Deanna<\/p>\n
\u201cThis\u2013this is cheating!\u201d Robert shouted, springing to his feet.<\/p>\n
I snapped out of it, planted my hands on my hips, and stood up.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou said the rule was to kiss someone. Well, am i not someone? I\u2019m alive and kicking. Deanna already kissed me. That means the punishment is over. Unless, of course, when one of you guys loses next, you\u2019re fine kissing each other instead.\u201d<\/p>\n
The second those words left my mouth, the men who had been cheering turned pale.<\/p>\n
I could hardly stop myself from grinning. My bestie was brilliant\u2013what a move!<\/p>\n
Then I glanced at Jake. His face had gone dark, like thunder. He grabbed the whiskey on the table and downed it in one gulp.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeal the cards. Let\u2019s keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n
The next round started. When I flipped my card, my eyes lit up. \u201cPeggie, looks like it\u2019s finally your turn to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peggie instantly put on her innocent act, glancing shyly at Jake. \u201cCan I choose to kiss someone instead?\u201d<\/p>\n
I sneered. \u201cNice try. That\u2019s not punishment\u2013that\u2019s a reward. Take something off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robert cut in. \u201cShe\u2019s only wearing that one dress. If she takes it off, she\u2019ll have nothing to wear. What\u2019s Jake supposed to do then?\u201d<\/p>\n
I turned on Jake, my voice sharp with mockery. \u201cWhat\u2019s Jake supposed to do? Jake, I\u2019ve been meaning to ask\u2013what\u2019s the deal between you and Peggie? Are you two dating? If you can look Deanna in the eye and say yes, I\u2019ll let Peggie off.\u201d<\/p>\n
At that, Jake looked at Deanna, his lips parting as if he wanted to speak but couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
That hesitation was all I needed. I grew more confident. \u201cSo, you\u2019re not a couple. Good. Peggie, start taking it off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robert barked, \u201cYou\u2019re unbelievable. Totally unreasonable.\u201d<\/p>\n
I shot back, \u201cOh really? When Deanna lost, she followed the rules without you whining about it. Now it\u2019s Peggie\u2019s turn, and suddenly the rules don\u2019t count?\u201d<\/p>\n
The room went quiet. A few guys even chimed in, \u201cYeah, fair\u2019s fair. She lost. She should do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peggie\u2019s eyes filled with tears. She clutched the hem of her dress tight, refusing to take it off.<\/p>\n
Is she trying to back out? Not on my watch.<\/p>\n
I lunged forward, shifting into my wolf form just enough to let sharp claws rip through fabric. In a few quick swipes, Peggie\u2019s dress tore apart.<\/p>\n
\u201cBitch! You think I forgot how you bullied Deanna before,\u201d I snarled. \u201cShe\u2019s under my protection. Let\u2019s see if you dare to act so high and mighty again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peggie shrieked, clutching her arms over her chest as tears streamed down her face.<\/p>\n
\u201cJake! Please\u2013help me!\u201d<\/p>\n
