I blinked, my seductive façade falling away. No one knew me as Carly here. I was Carlotta. Not far from my real name, but far enough.
That didn’t mean I’d let him know he struck paydirt. “Carlotta,” I corrected, adding a practiced smile for good measure.
He brushed my cheek with a blunt-tipped finger. “Now, now, friends shouldn’t lie to each other. And we’re friends, aren’t we?” He waited a beat, his mouth tightening. “Carly Ann Anderson.”
My chest constricted. All of a sudden, the smoke from the machines and mixed aromas in the club—perfume, cologne, body odor—were too much. I couldn’t catch my breath.
He said he knew the owner. That had to be it. All my real information was on my work papers. It had to be. Legalities and shit. That was how he knew who I was.
But then the question became, who else knew? And how long before all those people who knew started talking?
Word could get out to my school. I had a scholarship. Grants. I couldn’t risk them. Then there was my job at the Salad Hut. It wasn’t anything great, but I liked it. I wasn’t ready to give it up.
Then there was Fox, and my sister. Oh God, Mia. They’d never understand. She would never forgive me.
Gio wouldn’t either, even though he’d been the one to unwittingly lead me here in the first place.
I clutched the railing and fought not to sway on my feet. The walls were pressing in on me. Everyone was staring. How many of them knew?
“Who are you?” I whispered.
He smiled and leaned closer, his mouth brushing my temple. “Your worst fucking nightmare.”

About the Authors
USA Today bestselling author Cari Quinn likes music and men, so she figured why not write about both? When she’s not writing, she's screaming at men’s college basketball games on TV, playing her music too loud or causing trouble. Sometimes simultaneously.
USA Today bestselling author Taryn Elliott is obsessed with rock stars, men, and her unending playlists—maximizing these things seemed like a very good idea. When she’s not writing, you can probably find her surrounded by planner supplies trying to organize her life.
They decided to combine forces and found that hey...this writing deal is even more awesome when you collaborate with your best friend.
And so the Oblivion World was born.
