Cornelia snapped back to reality giving this unfamiliar man a quick once–over before her gaze drifted to her phone
in his hands. “Can I have my phone back?”
He gave the phone in his hand a little shake “I could give it back, but you gotta play a game with me first. You win,
you get your phone back. You lose, you give me your number, and we call it even
Cornelia knew this was a bad idea “Give me back my phone, or I’m gonna get mad ”
He let out an cool chuckle. “You look so soft. Didn’t peg you for the fiery type I’m just after your digit. No need to

He leaned in closer to Comelia. “What perfume are you wearing? It smells so good, makes me want to take a bite
outta you
“Bite me? Got the guts? Maybe it was the alcohol talking, but Cornelia slapped him twice, hard. “You wanna take a
bite out of me? You know who my husband is?
“You’re mamed?” He rubbed his slapped cheek, even though her hand was long gone. He seemed to still feel the
touch of her fingers “You look like you’re barely in your twenties, mamed so young?”
“Young? Not really. I’ve been married for two years.” Cornella gave him a smile, equal parts adorable and

paths with him. I don’t wanna know him”
“You afraid of him? Cornelia laughed. “You’re scared of him and yet you dare mess with his wife.”
“His wife?” He snorted. “I’m not interested in his wife. Even if I were, she’s way outta my league.”

anyone believe her?
Did she and Marcus really seem so mismatched?
The man went on, “Don’t use being married as an excuse to turn me down. Give me a way to contact you, and we
could get to know each other better. Maybe you’ll find things about me you never expected”
“Do you even deserve to know her?”
A voice that was familiar yet chillingly cold suddenly came from the side of Cornelia. She looked up and sure
enough, there was Marcus. But his gaze was truly terrifying. like a demons!
