“I’ve never seen him in the bar.”
Corey shook her head. “Me either. You piss him off or something?”
If she only knew. I let the thoughts escape my mind and mumbled, “I don’t get it, and considering he and my brother have something going, it’s strange he hasn’t been in.” I heard my name being called.
Bri was in the bar. I tossed a hand up to Corey. “Hang on to that thought.”
Peeking my head out the door, Bri saw me and charged into the office. Corey and Bri greeted each other, then Bri launched in. “What happened?”
At least I wouldn’t have to tell the story twice. Kicking the door shut with my foot, I launched into my night. From the time I got to the house to get Bri, to the time I entered my house. Everything.
“You’re shitting me,” Bri said. “No way,” Corey said, both speaking in unison.
“Yeah.”
“You slept in the same bed with Killian Graham, and he didn’t try to sleep with you, like really sleep with you?” Corey sounded astonished, and there for a moment, a feeling I didn’t like came over me. One that said I wasn’t good enough for him, but I tapped it down. Now wasn’t the time for me to get caught up in emotions. It had been a long time since I’d felt that way when it came to a man, and no way I was starting down that road once again. No man got to have that kind of power over me anymore.
Not only that, but Killian had a reputation with the ladies. Needless to say, I was glad I scrubbed the hell out of my body today. If Killian put me in a bed where he’d fucked another woman, that would seriously piss me off. It was gross!
“Do you think we’re okay?” Bri asked, chewing on her thumbnail. She had a tendency to do this when she got nervous. She should be, at least, according to Killian.
“He said they won’t be able to get a hearing until tomorrow. After that, who knows. Have you heard from Khloe?”
“Nope!” Bri explained with an exasperated tone. “Went by her place, and she didn’t answer the door. I’m going to swing by her parents’ house and see if they’ve talked to her.”
“And she was supposed to meet you?”
“Yep, but haven’t heard a word.” My brain kept turning over and over, trying to figure out what really went down last night.
Fuck, none of this was okay. Inside, I didn’t feel good about what was to come. “Did you know Landon was into whatever was going on in that house? Have you heard from him at all?”
Bri shook her head. “Nothing.”
“You think he’s in jail?”
Her head shook. “I have no idea.”
Keeping a level head like my brother had always told me to do, I pushed back the anxiety trying to creep up. “All we can do is wait. We didn’t do anything, so I don’t know why our asses would be on the line.”
It was true—we had nothing to do with the bust. With the new day and all the chaos out of my head from last night, I could see it more clearly.
It still didn’t explain why Killian wanted me in his bed with him. There were many questions I wanted answers to, but alas, they wouldn’t get answered. Last night was a one-time thing. No way I’d be spending the night with him again.
