Extraits

“Excuse me,” I breathe out, feeling like I need to pee even more. “Sorry, can I get around? I need the ladies’ room. It’s right next to you.”

The linebacker next to me ignores my request, so I tap his arm to ask again, but he still ignores me.

“Thanks,” I grumble quietly.

I look back to the center of the group for another way out, when I lock eyes with one blue eye and one green. The guest of honor is staring right at me. And Georgia’s cute. Like—Really. Damn. Cute.

“You’re pretty,” he mouths, eyes trained on me, while taking the drink extended to him.

My brain has stopped working. Say thank you, Ava.Say anything. Jesus. My mouth is on a very shy lag, and although I mean to be polite, all that comes out is, “I have to pee.”

He reaches out, grabbing my waist, causing my head to dart down to where the warmth of his hand has landed. Before I can object, he pulls me closer, almost flush to his broad, muscular frame.

Caroline tosses her long brown hair over her shoulder. “The expression you’re wearing is as ugly as the shirt you have on, Liam. What do you want?”

It takes everything in my control not to laugh as my eyes jump between them, but Liam just stares down at her under his divinely long lashes.

“Carebear.” The way he says it makes my lips minutely tip up. “Drink this so you can be more of a funshine than a grumpy.”

She swats at the cup, but he moves it away before she connects. Oh shit.

“I hate you,” she spits.

He winks. “You wish that were true. I’m going to hang out with my real friends now.”
