Betrayals Sting

Book #4 of Dueling Desires Series
Betrayals Sting

Sevia Rossi -

I walked into the party like I owned the place, my red dress drawing every gaze in the room. Perfect. That was the plan. I felt their eyes on me, and I reveled in it-especially his.

Louis McGregor, standing in the corner, pretending he didn't notice me. His green eyes hid behind those glasses, but I could still catch the way they followed me, just like they always had. Some things never changed, even if we'd left our childhood days far behind.

I smirked, making my way over. "Louis," I said, dragging out his name with that familiar, fake sweetness. "Still hiding in the shadows? Scared to socialize without a textbook in hand?"

His face turned red, and I almost laughed. But he took a breath and answered, "I'm here, aren't I?" There was a quiet edge in his voice that surprised me.

"Aw, poor Louis. Still the same awkward boy." I leaned in, close enough for him to catch my icy smile. "Do yourself a favor and don't pretend you belong here. It'll save us both trouble."

I walked away without a backward glance, but I knew I'd stung him, as always. That's just how things were between us.
