The Contest by Cooper (Jaxon & Evangeline)

Chapter 22 Evangeline

When my sisters pulled me onto the dance floor, Maggie went in for the kill. “You know he thinks you’re his mate, right? I mean, he’s not showing anyone any attention but you,” she says.

“I know.”

“And how do you feel about him?” she asks, giving me a look like I’m being purposefully dense.

“I like him. I like him a lot.”

“Are you going to dance with him again?” she asks. I turn and look at him on the edge of the dance floor, talking to his sister.

“He told me to save every slow dance for him.”

She stops dancing and stares at me. “Evangeline! Super Hotty wants all your slow dances. He is definitely on the mate track. Have you thought about what you want to do?”

“What do you mean? I’m not going to DO anything,” I tell her. “Well, I mean, I’m going to date him, but I’m not quitting the competition.”

“Does he know that?”
