— And how long will you keep staring at her like she’s prey, or are you going to do something at last?
— Get lost! She’s my brother’s girl.
— So what? – Tim smirks.
— I said, leave her alone.
— Does it really suit you that he takes everything you want?
— It’s none of your business. And I don’t need her, – I snap.
— Do you like living in his shadow? Being that loser brother—overshadowed by the older one?
— What are you trying to achieve?
— Put him in his place. Prove you’re better. Or are you too gutless?
— Do you have something specific in mind?
— If she’s really indifferent to you, then it’ll be even easier to shut him up: take her to bed.
— We’re not playing these games anymore.
— Last time. And each of us takes what’s ours. We’ll rein in Vic, and you’ll get the one you’ve been pining for. Agreed?
I’ve had long-standing scores to settle with my brother, and everything goes to hell the moment he brings her into the house. A self-assured beauty—his future champion. She drives me crazy, and so does the way everyone around them is awed by their perfect pair. I want to knock the arrogance out of both of them. So we decide to play the final game—we make a bet that I’ll manage to seduce and ruin his champion.
