「 twenty-two ✧ august & lia 」

"Truth or dare," Callum said excitedly.

"Again?" Aurora groaned.

We had just gotten out of the water and were now all wrapped in towels around the fire, attempting to warm up.

"Do you have another suggestion?" Callum shot back, giving Aurora an offended look.

"No," she grumbled, wrapping the towel tighter around herself.

"That's what I thought. Augie, truth or dare?"

Augustus looked up at him from his spot beside me. "Truth."

"What's the worst sex you've had?"

Everyone chuckled, including Augustus.

"You're so creative, Callum," I muttered jokingly.

He shrugged. "What can I say? Anyway, Augie, answer the question."

He thought for a moment before saying, "My first time, probably. I was drunk and didn't know what I was doing."

"Fair," Callum said, and everyone nodded in agreement. "Let's go in order. Em, truth or dare?"

"Have you ever faked an orgasm?"

"Oh my god, Callum, you're unhinged." I laughed. "Do you plan all of these out?"

"Maybe," was his only answer.

Rolling my eyes, I answered. "Yes."

Callum's eyes bulged out of his head. "With who?"

"My... ex."

I could feel Augustus' gaze on me, but I refused to look over at him. I could tell that he was fuming.

"Was he that bad in bed? I would expect it, honestly, after he came crawling back to you the other day," Lacey said.

"He wasn't bad, he just... didn't prioritize my needs," I admitted.

This time, I did glance over at Augustus. Just as I predicted, his eyes grew dark and his jaw clenched when we made eye contact.

"Sounds like he was bad, then," Rohan pitched in, giving me a half-smile.

I smiled back, then pointed Callum with a look that asked him to move on.

"Lacey, truth or dare?"

"Dare, of course."

"When's the last time you sent a nude?"

"Oh my god, Callum," a few of us groaned out. I put my head in my hands and chuckled.

"What?" Callum looked oblivious, taking a sip of his drink. His very alcoholic drink.
