More Than A Favor

Chapter 21

I withdrew my gaze from the apartment and looked directly at her, recalling the bedding she had picked out yesterday. “Has Logan slept here?”

Selene froze for a moment, pursing her lips tightly.

“Let me be more direct,” I said with a smile that didn’t reach my eyes. “Have you two slept together?”

“Elaine, how can you say something like that?” Selene’s pale face

contorted, though it was obvious she was trying to maintain an air of superiority.

You haven’t?” I glanced at her belly pointedly. “Oh, right. I suppose now’s not the best time for that.”

Her face turned livid at my words.

Honestly, the act she was putting on was pathetic. If she wanted to be the third party, she should at least do it with confidence–especially since Logan had already handed her a house that was supposed to be mine. She should have been bold, assertive. Instead, she acted like she was innocent even as she did something so shameless. It was as if she wanted to play both the victim and the villain in the same breath.

“Elaine, Logan won’t like you if you act like this,” Selene said, her tone

dripping with mock concern.
