His reaction made my head tilt. | put my water glass back down.
“What's wrong?” | immediately regretted my question as soon as it was out of my mouth.
“I'm frustrated with myself,” he admitted and put down his fork and knife. “I shouldn't have tried to kiss you. |
know that it was wrong, but I did it anyway. I'm selfish.”
My eyes widened. | couldn’t believe that he was being so candid with me. “You're not selfish, Alexander. | mean,

| ignored the way my stomach swooped and stepped away from him. “T m perfectly capable of finding my room
all by myself, thank you. Goodnight, Alexander.”
Then, without looking at him, | rushed away from him before he could lureback using his deep voice and
charms.
But just as | reached for the doorknob, someone knocked on the door. | looked back at Alexander, who strode
forward and grabbed my hand.
He pulledinto the living room where | would be out of sight from the door.
“Stay quiet,” he whispered towith a serious expression.
Cold fear went through me. Who was at his door?
But then | saw a wicked glint in his eyes. “I bet you that it’s ! the door,” he said. “How much money do you want
