Whether it was the heady thrill of competition or the slow-burning rivalry crackling between Jules and Nate, the crowd decided to raise the stakes. The usual drinks were cast aside in favor of the strongest liquor they could find, as they settled in to witness the inevitable clash.
"Just drinking is boring. Let's make things more interesting," Mosesm suggested a sly grin tugging at his lips. "How about we change up the rules?" He paused, running his tongue over his teeth as his gaze flickered between Nate and Corrine with keen interest.
