I walk firmly and safely to the bar, greeting the guests and thanking those who praise and congratulate me on the way.

Tobias is talking to some couples, but his eyes are attentive to my movements. As I watch the environment, I notice Miss Handell standing next to Caine, the two of them sustain a sarcastic laugh as they watch me. What’s this woman got against me?

“Are you scared, Temptress?” I wasn’t someone who backed down when challenged so I put my mug on the table and walked towards him. I gave a challenging smile as I looked up at him and took the controller from his hand. “Game on.” Just like all members of the Summers family, I hated losing so there was no way I was going to be easy on him. “Shit!” I cursed under my breath. I leaned back against the leg of the couch and looked at the ceiling, refusing to stare at the screen which confirmed his winning. I took a sharp breath and turned to him. “Rematch!”

Exchanging shuts as they both landed a cup on each other sides, it falls to the corner beside his. “Yes!” silently claiming her reward and just a second to celebrate before anyone could notice.

In a split second to the ever-heated rabble around them, gulping the cup and slamming it on the table, all the lights went out. “What’s…” gasping as a sudden turn shut their eyes, she almost jumps out, ready to scream as a hand

You are ruining it. Sophie intruded. "Stop! Stop! I'm team Jacob. So you better stop now, or hell halt the fury of a woman scorned with eight abs." She might be overreacting, but she was team Jacob, and no stinky breath or fleas could stop her from idolizing the man.

Alex teased, barely able to control his laughter. Alex, not to be outdone, tried to lean on the back of the couch but missed, tumbling down behind it. "Hey, guys, I found a new spot.

Ivan, sprawled on the floor, raised an imaginary trophy. "I call this the Gravity Challenge. I win."

I groan, feeling ashamed of my actions. Someone knocking on wood resonates through the room, and Chrissy gets up to open my bedroom door. Conrad is standing there, holding two steaming mugs with a t-shirt on. “Naw,” she sings! “You're too cute, my love.” She takes the steaming mugs from his grasp and kisses him lightly on the lips.
