Chapter 17: Emma

After dinner, we went back on the casino floor. I tried to catch Sebastian's attention, but just as soon as I'd managed to make him ignore the slot machines, his friends managed to steer him away from me. I shouldn't have felt jealous, but they were passing champagne around on the casino floor as if it was water. I'd had two for every one that Sophia got hold of before we saw the guys. He was my best friend's younger brother, so why was it that by filling out and growing taller he had got me all hot and bothered?

And I didn't mean that my heart beat faster or that I felt like some teenage girl with a huge crush on a quar-terback. This was completely different.

Those blue eyes that used to look at me as if I was some supermodel that rocked into his sister's room were the same eyes that still stared at me. But back then it was cute. Now it just made me horny. I'd thought that I was dead down there. I couldn't remember the last time I had any action.
