Gabriel Brennan and some beauty.

He's wearing a sharp, tailored suit, his dark hair cut short with a mop of curls on top, exuding confidence with every step.

There's no denying it, he's attractive. Dangerously so. But it's the woman with him that really catches my

attention.

She's stunning, a bombshell in every sense of the word Slim, with short, sleek hair and a dress that hugs her curves like a second skin.

The way she carries herself, the way everyone in the room is watching her... there's something magnetic about her. Something almost familiar.

I squint, trying to figure out who she is, and then Lisa jabs me in the ribs, her eyes wide with disbelief.

""Holy shit," she whispers. That's Cass."

She's practically glowing, her usual dark, baggy clothes replaced with this slinky silver number that shows off every inch of her body. A body that every male and half the females in the room wish they were escorting. "She's with Gabriel?" I mutter, incredulous. "What the hell is she thinking?"

'Lisa shrugs, sipping her champagne again, clearly entertained by the whole situation. "I don't know, but damn, Winona. She looks hot."

Jayden's hand tightens on my arm, his face hardening. "Gabriel's thirty."

"And we don't know a damn thing about him," I add, feeling my protective instincts flare. "This can't be happening."

Lisa sighs. "I hate to say it, but it is happening. She's obviously all in. Lucky bitch."

I don't even know if
