After probably pissing Grayson the whole night, the dinner ended

The second the car doors shut, Logan burst into laughter.

“As in, seriously?” he wheezed, smacking the back of the driver’s seat. “You tried to one–up Aria in that dress? Jess, babe. Have you forgot she’s our future Luna?”

I jerked my head toward him, jaw dropped. “Fuck you.”

“Language,” Pierce muttered without looking up from the road. His knuckles were tight on the steering wheel, eyes fixed ahead like he was replaying the whole damn dinner scene in his head on loop.

“Oh please,” I snapped. “Don’t start with me. You didn’t even defend me when Aria is insulting me earlier.”

Pierce just sighed. Logan kept laughing.

“You should’ve seen your face when Grayson handed her that wine glass,” Logan teased. “Jealous so much?”

“I wasn’t jealous,” I bit out, crossing my arms tight. “Why would I be jealous?”

Damn right, I am. I don’t know if he’s getting revenge but after our banter, he sticks on his script of becoming Aria’s fiancé.

“Why would you?” Logan grinned at me with all his teeth. “You’re just nothing but his omega, right?”

I threw my heel at him. It hit the dashboard with a thud.

“HEY!” Pierce yelped. “These are leather seats!”

We hit a bump, and I jolted, letting out an annoyed grunt as I adjusted my dress back down my thighs. I could still feel Grayson’s hatred from earlier. Thank goddess his father joined us or else we really ended up messing up tonight. He wasn’t supposed to look at me. But all he did was to stare the entire dinner. I mean, I cannot really blame him.

Pierce finally spoke, his voice low. “You shouldn’t have gone tonight if you weren’t going to control yourself.”

I stiffened. “Control myself? I didn’t do anything-”

“You were breathing like you were about to start a fight,” he muttered. “And Grayson noticed. Everyone noticed.”

I rolled my eyes, but heat rushed to my cheeks. “Shut up, Logan.”
