"You can refuse and drink," Callum reminded, though his tone suggested he doubted either of us would.
Lennox and I didn't move. In fact, we were challenging each other with our eyes, daring each other to back out and drink. But that person wouldn't be me.
The room felt like it was holding its breath, the weight of the dare pressing down on everyone. Lennox's eyes never left mine, and I could feel the heat rising between us like a wildfire.
I leaned back in my chair, crossing one leg over the other, trying to appear unbothered even though my pulse hammered wildly. His gaze darkened, his jaw clenching as if he was daring me to make the first move.
"I don't mind an audience," I said, my voice smooth but teasing.
