Deception Excerpt

“I’m not trying to compete with Natalie,” I told him. “What’s it to you, anyway?”

“I pay attention to things, that’s all,” he said. “I pay very close attention.”

I raised an eyebrow. “What is that supposed to mean?”

“What I mean is that I know what you are, Alexis,” he said, looking me directly in the eyes.
