The more I think about it, the madder I am at Scarlett for asking me to do this without telling me the real reason she didn’t want to do it herself.

When she said it was embarrassing, I should have known she was covering something up. Nothing ever embarrasses my sister so much that she can’t do something about it on her own.

She didn’t want me to come out here because she’s embarrassed that she lost a bet.

She doesn’t hate cleaning so much that she would have begged me to switch places with her, either.

Those were just her excuses. I can see that now.

There’s really only one reason she would have sent me out here.

She knows these guys are into her, so she thinks they’ll automatically be into me.

Considering how boring she thinks they are, she probably thinks this is killing two birds with one stone. If I like them, it gets them to leave her alone and it gets me over my loser ex.

I doubt she’s considered the fact that we’re not interchangeable.

She probably thinks a quick fling will solve everything for everyone involved.

Calm down, Sapphire. You don’t know that.

You’re spinning out. Stop, and take a damn breath!

Taking a calming breath, I make myself put the phone back into the purse.

I don’t know anything for sure, and I know my sister can be reckless, but she knows I’m not like that.

I’m going a little nuts because I like these guys, and they like her.

One look at my reflection in that bathroom mirror, and I knew.

She knows they like her. She knows they made that bet because they’re into her.

She should have told me, but if she had I wouldn’t have agreed to do this.

It’s torture. I had no idea this was what I was coming out here to experience.

Spending any more time with these sweet, attractive Alphas doesn’t feel like a smart idea.

I don’t want to fall for them, and I know I will.

I seriously want to call her, but I can’t. Not until I’m back in her room.

I need an explanation, and an apology.

I’ll give her the chance to give me those before I decide what comes next.

She deserves the benefit of the doubt.

And these guys … They deserve the truth.

If she’s not interested in them, she should have told them that straight up.

When I turn around, Rueben’s walking past the kitchen door, furry bundle in his arms.

I head toward the door, and he steps back into view, stopping and raising an eyebrow at me.

“Back to work already?” he asks. “Because seriously, you don’t really need to clean anything. Even if you do, Cap will be all over it again later. No offence to your skills with the mop or whatever. He’s just built that way. Does not know how to relax.”
