“No.” He glanced back at me and smiled. “Probably should be, but not mad at all.”
“Good.” She marched across the veranda and grabbed my hand, pulling me away from his body. I already missed the warmth of him and the dark scent that had wrapped around me and made me feelsafewhen it had started to feel impossible. “We have to get Isolde ready now. But don’t worry, you’ll get her back later.”
A flicker of a smile played on his lips. “We’ll make sure to stay out of your way.”
Trinity towed me inside the house and into the bedroom I hadn’t set foot in yet. The other guys were in the living room area, watching with amusement as I was captured.
“So they know it was you.”
“Luckily they don’t seem too upset,” Trinity said, closing the door behind Ocean. “I’m more interested in why you were tangled up with one of them when you said there was no way you were having sex with them.”
I reached out and pulled Ocean into a hug. She shook with silent laughter. “She’s been like this all day.”
“She’s like this all the time.”
Trinity put her hands on her hips. “Excuse me, I’m standing right here.”
Hugging her too, I finally found my suitcase among the group of them and pulled it over to the walk-in closet. I ignored the bed. That was a bridge I would cross when I got to it.
“And I’m not sure what you saw, Rin. But I wasn’t being fucked on the veranda. No one’s going to believe we’re together if they never touch me.”
“Yeah, but no one was watching you.”
“You two walked in, didn’t you?”
Ocean giggled. “Yeah, but we know the secret.”
I flipped the suitcase over on the ground and started pulling things out and putting them away. I wasn’t going to live out of a suitcase for three full weeks. Besides, if I was moving back here, it’s not like I would have to shove it all back into the case.
They both grabbed things too, getting my suitcase unpacked in minutes. My makeup put on the vanity in the closet, and the dresses hung up.
Trinity looked at the dresses. “Which one are you wearing tonight?”
I sat down at the vanity and pointed to the black dress on the hanger. “That one.”
“No.”
“What?”
“Back me up, O. She can’t wear that.”
Turning, I looked between my friends. “What’s wrong with that dress?”
Ocean smiled. “Nothing. It’s pretty.”
“But?”
“But,” she winced. “It’s not exciting.”
“I’m not looking for excitement. I’m looking to fly under the radar.”
Trinity rolled her eyes. “If you actually wanted to fly under the radar, you wouldn’t have shown up with a pack that looks like sex on a stick. Everyone’s going to be looking at you anyway, so you can’t walk in there looking like you’re attending your own funeral.”
“Rin,” I choked on a laugh. “It won’t look like that.”
“You’re right. It won’t. Because I thought this might happen.” She strode out of the room without a backward glance, leaving Ocean and I to stare at each other.
“What did she do?”
