That all you got, Coach? August gained speed, fists unclenching at his sides as he poured himself into the sprint. 

 Our coven and friends gradually fell further behind, unmotivated by our silent competition…

 Still, we pushed, farther, harder, faster, our shoes slapping against the pavement now, as mortal as could be.

 First one back wins? I could feel his smile, although I didn’t dare a glance his way as I focused my burning eyes on the front awning of the Westerlunds’ building. 

 Wins…what exactly?

 A round of truth or dare.

 Child.

 It’s that or strip poker.

 I snorted. I wouldn’t last long.

 Don’t know how to play poker? 

 I met his cocky stare, trying to hide as I fought to keep my breathing even. I’m just not wearing much under these clothes.

 August cleared his throat, the sound tight, making it impossible to fight back my smile. “Fuuuck,” he growled.

 I’d been fooling myself, thinking I stood a chance.

Sydne Barnett is a lover of spunky, badass heroines, and heroes that embrace their wild. She's an avid reader, never turns down a good cup of coffee, loves hiking with her hubby, Joel, and lives for finding their next adventure. 

If she's not writing, you can probably find her behind her camera, swimming, or curled up with a homemade pastry, watching Friends, HYMYM, or Gilmore Girls.

Raised in the Treasure Valley, Idaho, Sydne has a love for one-light towns, and winding backroads. But refusing to ignore her soul's call for adventure, she hit the road with her family, and now they call the world their home.
