Caleb's POV
The revelation that Riley had never been kissed struck me like a physical blow. It shouldn't have surprised me - she'd been invisible to everyone until recently. But the knowledge that no one had ever claimed those soft lips made something primal stir in my chest. The thought of Zoey being her first kiss made my jaw clench with unexpected possessiveness.
"Pick something else, Jace," I commanded, my voice carrying an edge that made Jace's eyebrows shoot up. Riley's first kiss belonged to someone who would cherish it, not waste it on a stupid dare.
Jace seemed to catch the warning in my tone and nodded quickly. His gaze shifted back to Zoey, clearly scrambling for another option. "Alright fine, kiss Silas then."
