Chapter 31 Exposed At The Feast

• Ava decided to play along; she wouldn't be intimidated by Mateo.
• "If he wants to play, let's play," she told herself. She also placed her hand on Mateo's leg and began moving it in the same way, up and down, slowly stopping near his groin. Mateo withdrew his hand and immediately began sweating profusely. He had lost the game. He had thought of making her nervous, but now he was the one in trouble.
• He was sweating profusely, and Ava was enjoying the moment she was putting him through. She didn't touch anything beyond the upper part of his leg, but that was enough to make him very nervous. He hadn't expected her to react this way.
