Chapter 8 KYRIE . I know I have one of the best memories in the world , but this time ... it was like my memory was playing tricks on me . I knew I had seen those eyes before . But the question remains ... Where ? I had been fighting with my instinct since Saint and I walked into the hall , and my gaze rested on the woman I had come to know as Eve . Every instinct in me screamed that she was the girl from that night . The one Saint and I had been searching for like lunatics . The one who disappeared after stealing from us . The one who had haunted the darker corners of my mind . They both had the exact same eyes . Deep , blue , endless eyes . But ... what if I was wrong ? What if they weren't the same person ? If there is anything I hate with a passion , it's embarrassment . What should I ask her? " Hey , were you the one i and my best friend fucked some months ago? " Yeah . That would go over well . And if I was wrong ? She'd either slap me or faint from the shock . And I'd be the idiot who mistook Saint's stepsister for some random slut with matching eyes . But , well , here I am either way ... Just couldn't let it slide . " Hello , Eve , " I said casually . She jumped . She actually jumped , like I'd fired a bullet past her ear . Her drink nearly slipped from her fingers . Only a quick fumble saved the glass . Well , that was interesting ... Startled like a guilty little secret . She turned to me slowly , brushing a few loose strands of her dark brown hair behind her ear , trying to compose herself . That hair . That skin . Those fucking eyes . 1/3 Chapter 8 She was ... beautiful . Not just surface - level , either . The kind of beauty that made time warp around her . It pissed me off a little , actually . Oh , and she was with the pack's cheapest woman . I had to protect my best friend's new stepsister from people like Hazer . Otherwise , in less than three weeks , Eve would have fucked half the men in this pack and she'd end up knee - deep in scandals while at it . " Oh , hi , " Eve said nervously . There was something about the way she avoided my gaze that kept tugging at the edges of my control . She was scared . And it wasn't fear of strangers . No. It was sick recognition . She knew me . And that only confirmed what I'd been dreading . I knew her too . Fuck . Did I mention that she was beautiful ? Yeah . I did . But I had to acknowledge it again . I had to keep myself together ; otherwise , I'd be tempted to have a taste of my best friend's sister . Not that I cared . I mean , Saint once fucked my cousin and I was cool with it . He wouldn't mind if I just ... " Kyrie ... " Hazer brought me out of my thoughts , and I almost slammed her face against the wall for that . " How are you enjoying the party ? " I asked Eve , totally ignoring the pest standing beside her . Eve's throat bobbed . She swallowed hard , like the question had caught in her windpipe . Then she gave me a strained smile . It tried to be warm but didn't quite make it past her lips . But fuck . What ... she had dimples ? Okay . I had to leave now . Really . Because each second spent around this lady makes me want to study her some more . I was going to end up memorizing every line of her face . And the temptation to press a bit further and test her to see if she'd flinch at the right questions was building dangerously . This girl was going to be a problem . " Uh ... fine . Thanks . " 2/3 7:23 Sun , Sep 21 Chapter 8 There was something about the way her eyes refused to settle on mine for more than a heartbeat . The way she shifted her weight between her feet like she wanted to disappear into the floor . The way fear tasted faintly in between us . She was hiding something . And I was getting dangerously close to sniffing it out . " This might sound very awkward , but ... " I started , tightening my tone just enough , " I was wondering ... Have we met before ? " I went straight to the point . Yeah . That's one of my weaknesses ... but sometimes I call it my strength ... going straight to the point .
