Chapter 32

Logan watched his stepsister from across the bar. Bethany snuggled up to him in the corner booth, where they’d gone unnoticed for the past thirty minutes. Blaise had his hands all over her, and she was enjoying herself a little too much. She seemed to be getting fairly drunk too. Hands clenching, he felt his stomach knot with jealousy. Why did he even come here tonight? He’d known there was more than a fair chance of her being here with her date, so did he come here to torture himself?

Yes, he realized. He had. He’d come here tonight, hoping and fearing to see exactly what was happening. She was his family – he loved her and wanted her to have fun – and she deserved some happiness, but damn. Bethany ran her index finger between the hem of his shirt and the waist of his jeans, and he stiffened¸ turning his gaze from Sophie to his date.

“You alright, hon?” she asked, all wide-eyed sincerity. She really was a beauty. Her lips were plump and kissable, and her tiny button nose had an equally tiny diamond in one nostril. She widened her icy blue eyes further at his obvious interest. “I’m just fine, baby. Come here.”

He kissed her, sliding his tongue into her mouth, feeling the vibrations of her moan on his lips. Hearing Sophie’s laugh across the room only made his excitement grow. He tried to feel bad about that, he really did, but he was too busy losing himself in the warmth of Bethany’s mouth, while imagining it was Soph’s. He ran a hand up her arm, feeling the goosebumps there. “Let’s get out of here,” he whispered, breaking the kiss.

They sneaked out the back door, Sophie’s girlish giggles echoing in his ears.
