Lucas’s Pov I sighed as I glanced over at Bella and watched as she looked at her cards and hummed loudly. Clearly she had drank too much and the alcohol was slowly starting to pull her into a drunken state She slowly rocked side to side as she watched as they made side bets for the next turn. Thousands of dollars on whether or not sally would have a card to play. Bella kept looking at her cards than looking up like she was concentrating or trying to create a strategy. If not for her horrible game play I would actually think that she was coming up with the perfect strategy. Unfortunately she was clueless on what to do. “Okay the bets are over.” Lenny said as he pushed the money to the side. Bella’s eyes went wide as she looked down at her hand and grabbed a card. “I’m going to win this time.” Bella screamed as she lifted up her arm and threw a king on the table. My brows furrowed because it was clearly not her turn and she couldn’t play a king of hearts. Everyone froze fro

Bella’s Pov “Dr. Hickory.” Lucas mumbled causing me to furrow my brows. “It doesn’t say that.” I knew what Dr. Hickory’s name looked like and it definitely wasn’t this. “His first name is Rupert.” Lucas explained lowly. I paled even more as I looked over at Dr. Hickory who was now smirking at me like this was somehow funny. “Why is he even here?” I couldn’t help but ask in frustration. I clearly wasn’t going to kiss him. Why was this even a dare? “Because he’s my guest.” Lucas stated sternly. “But he’s old and my doctor.” I mumbled in anger. “You have to kiss your doctor.” Someone blurted out causing dread to fill me. I didn’t care that Dr. hickory was looking at me with a murderous gaze, I refused to kiss him ever. “I don’t want to.” I stated in defiance. I refused to ever kiss Dr. Hickory even if he wasn’t ugly. I couldn’t stand him, especially because even after I fired him he was still here. “Bella if you don’t do this than you’ll have to do a punishment.” Danny explained

Bella’s Pov I knew everyone was looking at my bright face and that only helped to fuel my nervousness. Why did they have all these ridiculous dares and why did everyone have to watch? Still I refused to miss out on the fun just because of my husband having to kiss me. “I don’t get why I can’t just eat the ice cream without kissing you.” I mumbled as I shimmied off of Lucas who had conveniently let go of my waist. “They would be no fun.” He murmured as I stood up. I tried not to allow myself to be shy as I awkwardly reached for the ice cream. I didn’t have it in me to walk and grab the ice cream. “Here.” A guy said as he grabbed the bowl and handed it towards me. My brows furrowed as the heat from the bowl brought warmth to my arms nearly instantly. I hadn’t even realized I was cold until now. “Let me help you.” Lucas’s deep and hypnotic voice sounded right as my waist was grabbed and I was pulled back into his lap. The warmth of his body hit me instantly but it wasn’t enough t

Lucas’s Pov “She’s sleep.” I said as soon as Bella softly started to snore. “Finally.” Robert mumbled in irritation. I turned my attention towards him and instantly knew that he was on the verge of killing someone in this room. His brows were narrowed and jaw was clenched as he stared at Bella with a sharp gaze. I could only assume that her constantly threat of breaking up with me was pushing him over the edge. He may have not planned on hurting her but that didn’t mean he didn’t have other plans. I could only thank Janet for the herbal chocolate milk because Bella was on the verge of having her memories erased by him again and I definitely didn’t need that. “Now that she’s asleep how about we discuss what happened just now.” Danny demanded in annoyance. He looked at me than at towards Dillion with the same irritation. Robert turned his attention towards Dillion and his scowl only intensified. “I did specifically warn everyone about the importance of Bella being happy.” Rob

Bella’s Pov My eye went wide as I stared at Dr. Hickory as he put 4 spoons into the sauce without a care in the world. Were they actually eating the sauce with spoons? It took over 30 minutes just for my mouth to stop burning and that was with the help of Dr. Hickory and Lucas. The milk they gave me was far from enough because as the time went on it got worse. They had to give me everything from ice to lemons just for my mouth to slowly cool down.So I could only pity everyone that had to do this dare. Clearly the spoons that Dr. Hickory had provided told me that it was not going to just be a small taste. It was going to be so much worse and I was glad I didn’t have to be involved. “Are we really allowing this?” I asked Lucas as I looked at Janet who had collapsed against the wall and was now panting like she was a dog. She didn’t get any help from anyone and had to deal with the heat on her own. “Yes.” Lucas said lowly. I pursed my lips as Janet rubbed a towel over her face.
