“Ugh…enough with the threats, sourpuss.” I huffed. He wasn’t the only one that was good at giving people funny nicknames. “And in case you don’t know…having to be in a fake relationship with you is already making life a living hell for me.” I dropped my voice to a small whisper just in case anyone was eavesdropping. 

We were in an open place after all. 

“Speaking of our relationship, I’m not sure if you know who Naomi is but she’s already suspecting that something’s off so you better do something about it. If you would have listened to me when I told you how ridiculous this idea was then maybe we wouldn’t have to be dealing with all of this.” My eyes drooped. 

“What are you talking about?” His brows dipped as he took a step back. 

Oh wow, he couldn’t even understand a few words. Who would’ve thought that he’d be so dumb? 

“Naomi thinks it’s unusual for us to be in a relationship.” I drawled with air quotes. “You better do something about it if you don’t want people to doubt you.” I said sizing him up and I was just leaving when I had barely even taken a few steps and something yanked me back. 

My back hit the wall, and before I could even process what just happened, a warm hand landed on my waist, fingers pressing just enough to make my breath hitch. My eyes snapped up…only to find Liam’s face hovering way too close to mine, his blue eyes sharp and calculating.

“What…” My voice came out weak. Embarrassingly weak.

“Where do you think you’re going, four eyes?” His voice was low, his breath tickling my cheek.

My stomach flipped and I swallowed hard. “Liam, what the hell are you doing?”

He didn’t answer.

Instead, he leaned in…his lips nearly grazing my ear.

Panic surged through me. He was too close. Way too close.

“Didn’t you just say I should do something about this girl’s suspicions?” he murmured, his voice dropping into something almost dangerous.

I blinked, confused. “What?”

He ignored me completely, his fingers tightening slightly against my waist. “And what better way is there to clear someone’s doubt than not giving them room for it?”

My heart stuttered and I suddenly became hyper aware of the way we looked…his body caging me in, my hands pressed flat against the wall, his head dipped low, his mouth close enough that if I moved even an inch…

Oh, crap.

"The point is to look innocent and clueless…" I hissed as I narrowed my eyes at her. She was seriously getting on my nerves now. "Not look like an experienced slut." I fought the urge to stare down at her again.

Goddamn it. If I had just checked the outfits then none of this would've happened.

That was clearly a mistake on my part and I would make sure it never happens again.

"I know." Theadora's quick answer pulled me back to reality.

"I know that I was supposed to dress like a clueless teenager so this investigator I'm going to meet won't suspect me." She said with a small shrug.

My brow quirked up and I could hear Adrian's quiet laughter behind me.

I'm convinced that one day I'm going to eventually lose it and end that man's life myself.
