“Liar.”

I glared at him.

His smile widened.

Then his attention shifted downward.

Toward Ava.

Every shadow in the room went still.

“Don’t.”

One brow rose. “I didn’t say anything.”

“You were thinking.”

“I do that occasionally.”

“Whatever it was, stop.”

His mouth twitched. “I only wanted to meet our guest.”

“No.”

“No?”

“You’re not going anywhere near her.”

Khai stared at me.

Really stared.

Then something changed in his expression.

“Oh.”

I hated that fucking oh.

“What?”

His mouth slowly curved.

“Oh, brother.”

“Finish that sentence and I’ll throw you through the window.”

“You love her.”

The room went silent.

I stared at him.

Khai stared back.

Then the bastard grinned.

“Fuck off.”
