Death To Chivalry

8

Nearby, Jason came around the corner, hands stuffed deep in the pocket of his letter jacket. He had just come from Tara's, having done his thing. He sighed heavily. Sex with Tara was meaningless, a moment of physical pleasure only. The problem was, there wasn't anyone Jason felt strongly enough about to dump Tara for, except maybe Hannah. But she already had a steady boyfriend and judging by the way she talked about him the night after they first met, she was totally in love with him. The word "soulmate" would probably be more accurate. Jason wasn't jealous of the mystery guy because Hannah was quickly becoming a good friend and he wouldn't do anything to jeopardize that, no matter how attractive she was.

Just then he caught a glimpse of Hannah stepping into the back of a white limo, a guy in a suite holding the door. Jason couldn't see his face, but he guessed it was Hannah's boyfriend. Without even realizing it, Jason moved closer to take a quick look at the guy as he got into the limo beside Hannah.

Recognition coursed through him. Thierry Descoudres, founder of Circle Daybreak. Hannah's soulmate was Thierry Descoudres. Hannah was Lady Hannah. He'd never even thought of that possibility. No wonder she was so weirded out that first night. Duh, her name was Hannah. How had he not put two and two together? He smothered a laugh. If Tara only knew.

Abruptly his laughter turned to dread. If Tara found out...Jason knew what would happen next. Tara would get everyone to hate Hannah, add that to the spells she would cast and Hannah's life was pretty much over. There was no way Jason would let that happen. Hannah was too nice a person.

Jason turned and ran to Tara's dorm, he had to make sure she didn't see.

Little did he know, his abrupt departure from Tara's apartment had caused her suspicions to flare up. She had followed him to see where he was going, just to make sure he wasn't two-timing her. Not that she was exactly faithful to him, but that was different. She'd gone to find out if her man was cheating. She had gotten a lot more than that.

The shit had just hit the fan.
