As the game progressed, the questions and dares became bolder, thanks to Liam's endless supply of whiskey.

"Alexander," Liam said, his voice slightly slurred, "truth or dare?"

Alexander leaned back, his expression impassive. "Dare."

Liam's grin turned wicked. "I dare you to kiss Anna."

The room fell silent. Anna froze, her wide eyes darting between Liam and Alexander.

Alexander's jaw tightened, but the alcohol in his system made him less inclined to argue. He turned to Anna, his gaze locking with hers. "Do you mind?" he asked softly.

Anna's heart raced as she shook her head. "No, I don't mind."

Without further hesitation, Alexander leaned in and pressed a gentle, lingering kiss to her lips. The world seemed to fade away for a moment, leaving just the two of them.

When they pulled apart, Liam clapped his hands loudly, breaking the tension. "Well, that was… something."
