Faye's POV
“Sorry, brother.” He held up the card with a wicked smile.
A king of spades.
Liam blinked a few times. “All right. A bet's a bet.”
I almost burst out laughing. I can't wait to see how Leander will ask Liam a question or ask him to do something weird.
Leander packs three cards. “First, please take something from your body.”
I look forward to watching Liam, not knowing what he'll take.
The safest course is a suit jacket, or a watch, or even a shoe.
To my surprise, Liam pulled a flat box out of his suit pocket.
“What is it?” I asked, leaning in.
“A necklace,” Liam said, opening the little box.
At the same time, I saw the Bulgari logo on the box.
Leander heckled: “Ohh! Is that for Faye?”
I looked at Liam with a mixture of embarrassment and anticipation.
Liam nods. “Yes. I prepared it just for you.”
Liam's blue eyes were fixed on me as he spoke. His eyes were like a dark blue swirl, sucking me in.
“So... Can I wear it now? I want to wear it now!”
