the door behind me. I hesitantly follow him through the house and into the kitchen where everyone is hanging out around the island counter.
    A very gorgeous and very pregnant blonde is the first to greet us. She waddles over to Parker and gives him a kiss and a hug. She then turns to me as Parker moves on to say ‘hi’ to the others. She beams at me, and I instantly relax.
    "Hi, Chance! I'm Charlie!" she smiles warmly and extends her hand.
    I grin lopsidedly at how stinkin' cute she is and shake her hand. "Hi, Charlie, nice to meet you."
    Next to greet me is the other woman. She is also extremely beautiful. "I'm Delilah."
    I shake her hand. "Hey there, Delilah." I smirk.
    She snorts and rolls her eyes.
    "Hey! That's my line!" says Nick Santino as he comes up next to Delilah and slips his arm around her shoulder.
    He holds out his hand. "Chance Steele, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm..."
    "Nick Santino, yes, I know," I reply as I shake his hand.
    Nick's eyebrows shoot up. "You've heard of me?"
    I nod.
    "Well, shit, that's pretty awesome," Nick says in awe. "A famous actor has heard of me!"
    "What the fuck am I?" Parker huffs.
    "Oh, you don't count," Nick says dismissively. "I knew you before you were famous."
    Parker scowls at his friend. Nick just chuckles and gives him a shove. The last person to greet me is the only black man of the group. He eyes me warily as he reaches out to shake my hand.
    "Calvin King," he says.
    "Hey, man," I reply.
    I don't understand why he is looking at me like that. I brush it off for now.
    "Chance, would you like a drink? We have beer, wine, hard liquor?" Charlie asks sweetly.
    "I...uh...I don't drink, water is fine," I tell her.
    I glance at Parker who is looking at me as if I have two heads. "What?" I sigh.
    "Nothing," he says quickly and shakes his head.
    Calvin is the one who grabs me a bottle of water. I thank him and take a sip. Even though I’m used to being stared at, I get this weird vibe rolling off him, then catch him watching me. I raise an eyebrow in question. Calvin basically ignores my silent question and turns to talk quietly to Parker. I'm not sure I like this Calvin guy. He seems shady.
    Charlie and Delilah put out some appetizers while Calvin orders some pizza. I chat with the girls until the pizza arrives. We all move into the dining room and sit around a large round table so that we can eat. I end up next to Parker since the couples have all sat down together. Nick, Calvin, and Parker are already on their third beers and I can tell that Parker is starting to get a little buzzed. He seems more relaxed and is smiling more than I've ever seen him smile, which certainly helps to take my edge off. He has a really nice smile. His teeth are perfectly straight and white. He has this little dimple at the corner of his mouth, too. Damn, I am way too attracted to this guy.
    "How about a little game of Truth or Dare while we eat?" Charlie asks with a mischievous smile. Oh man, Calvin must have his hands full with this girl.
    We all agree to play. Parker offers to go first. He turns to me. I roll my eyes. Here we go.
    "Truth or dare?" he asks me.
    "Truth," I say. No way in hell would I choose dare with him.
    "Why don't you drink?"
    "Because I don't like alcohol," I say with a shrug.
    "Why not?" Parker asks around a mouthful of pizza.
    "That's two questions," I tell him with a pointed look.
    "Come on, don't be a dick," he huffs.
    "I'm not being a dick; you asked me truth or dare, I picked truth, you asked your question, and I answered. Truthfully. Move on."
    Nick chuckles. "I like this guy."
    "My turn, right?" I ask to no one specific.
    "Yep!" Charlie chirps.
    I glance around the table. Who do I want to ask truth or dare to? My gaze lands on Delilah. I grin. "Delilah, truth or dare?"
    "Hmm...truth," she answers.
    "Have you ever kissed a girl before?" I ask.
    "Oh, kinky." She giggles. "No, I haven't." She frowns.
    Nick gives her an incredulous look. "You say that like it's something you
