Love Under The Gun

“Hush…” Aurora snapped. “It’s your turn. Truth or dare?”
“Truth.” I leaned closer, I rested my arm on the couch.
She smirked, “Tell me a secret…something you’ve never told anyone.”
I hesitated, smiling. “I’ve never fallen in love.”
Surprise flickered in her eyes before she masked it.
My gaze flicked to her chest, then to the empty lemonade glass.
I smiled. “…Truth or dare?”
“Dare.” A hint of mischief danced in her eyes.
“Nice try, little hellion, but I still have the upper hand here,” I told her. We were practically inches apart right now. “I’m not going to be the only one revealing secrets tonight. I dare you to also tell me a secret….something that no one knows of?”
“Okay.” She blinked slowly, not backing away. “I intended on keeping this a secret, but it seems I’ll just have to tell you then…”
“Come on now, don’t stop. You don’t have to be shy.” I teased, but her next words left me breathless.
“I wasn’t drunk that night.”
My breath caught. We both knew the night she meant, the one we’d never spoken of. The night I almost let go of all control, thinking she was too drunk to know better.
But she wasn’t.
“Truth or dare, Leonardo?” she whispered, her lips inches from mine.
My heart pounded. One mistake could ruin everything.
“Dare."
“Kiss me.”
She repeated the same words she had used that night, and my muscles tensed.
She wasn’t pleading or demanding. She knew exactly what this meant for me, for my plans.
And yet….
I still kissed her.
