Page 56 of Tomorrow's Never Promised

Liam was really into you tonight. You can’t deny you act differently around him vs. when you're with Killian. He loves you. Read that again! And then delete it. ??

I had a blast with you tonight. Who would have thought the Triskelion was below Schmitty’s? Liam made sure we all got home safe…listen whatever or whoever makes you happy…choose it/ them. Life is short. You know this all too well. Xo

Missed you girlie. So glad we got to see each other again. Invite me next time you go to the club. It’s fucking epic. Liam couldn’t keep his eyes off you all night. I think you two should talk about your feelings because damn…I never got to meet Killian but Liam definitely never gave you up.

“What are you smiling about over there?” Liam slides a plate in front of me. “It’s not Taco Bell, but it’ll do.”

I stare at the perfectly preparedCrunchwrap. “How did you know I liked Crunchwraps?” I ask in awe.

“I pay attention. You don’t think I notice the staff bringing you up Taco Bell for a midnight snack?” He chuckles and takes a seat next to me.

I take a bite and moan loudly. “Oh my God, Liam. This is heavenly.” My eyes close as I enjoy it.

When I open them, he is staring at me with a different kind of hunger in his eyes. “You are wearing my t-shirt and boxers. Moan like that again, and Iwillbe taking you back to my bed. I don’t care how hungry you are.” He swipes some sour cream off the corner of my lips and sucks it off his thumb.

“Killian called,” I say over a mouthful of Crunchwrap.

“He called me too. To check in.”

I look at him again. “Did you tell him I was here?”

He takes a new pack of cigarettes out from his back pocket and packs them against his hand. “Yes, he knows you’re here.”

I take a few more bites and push the plate forward.That was delicious.

“I should call him back,” I say warily.

“Come, let’s smoke out back, and you can call him.” He grabs a throw blanket off the couch, drapes it over my shoulders then leads me out back.

Lighting up two cigarettes, he hands me one. I inhale deeply before hitting the call button. I throw it on speaker as I pace around the patio. Liam stays where he is by the door, watching me.

His phone picks up, but all I hear is mumbling. “Killian?” I say into the phone. “Kil?” Liam looks anxious. I shrug and hang up. “Maybe he doesn’t have service.”

I take a few more drags and walk back to him. My phone rings, showing it’s Killian.There we go. Must have been bad service.Liam mouths to put it on speaker—worry etching his face.

I do, and the sound of female moaning fills the air. “Oh Killian, yes, yes, fuck me harder, yes, just like that.”

Liam grabs the phone, hits end, and shoves it into his pocket. He flicks his cigarette and pulls me into his chest, cradling my head.

I start balling. Ugly, hot tears pour from my eyes. My hand is shaking with the cigarette still lit. He takes it and tosses it to the ground, stomping it out. His strong arms hold me tighter, and he shushes me. “I’ve got you, baby. I’ve got you.”

He guides me into the house and back to his room. He sits down on the bed and cradles me against him.

“I guess I deserve this,” I sob against his chest. “We crossed a line tonight, Liam. It’s my karma for not being honest with him.”

“Stop it now, Madison. Look at me.” He lifts my chin. “You are the most amazing woman. He is adumb motherfucker. I don’t care that we tiptoed the line a few times. You did nothing wrong.I did. I shouldn’t have pushed you. You don’t deserve this or him, for that matter.”

“I need to talk to him,” I sniffle.

Liam sighs. “Fine, butIam calling him. I have a few choice words to say.” He retrieves his phone from the nightstand and calls Killian.

After the third ring,he picks up. “Yeah?” He sounds drunk.

“Killian. What the fuck are you doing, mate? Madison just heard you fucking another woman. She’s beside herself,” I say, rubbing a protective hand up and down her arm.
