If You Dare (Dare #3)

by Shantel Tessier

DEATH IS A debt we are all born owing. It’s something that money can’t buy nor can it be traded. You can’t bargain for more time. When it’s up, you accept it like a fucking man. I’ve never been afraid to die. Or to love, for that matter. Aren’t they the same? You surrender to a fate you have no control over. You don’t get to choose when or how you die, just as you can’t choose when and who you fall in love with.

“What’s up with you?” Cole asks, entering the kitchen. “I fucked Demi,” I say more to myself than him. He nods. “I was there.” He takes a drink of his coffee. “In Becky’s bed.” He spits out said coffee. It dribbles down his chin and onto his shirt. I feel it land on my arm, but I ignore it. “And she was a virgin.” “What the fuck?” I hear from behind me. I turn to see Austin now standing with us. Her eyes are wide, and her hands on her narrow hips.

Cackling

“What do you wanna do?” “Strangle her,” I grind out.
