“Thanks for watching over me but if Guy comes back and finds you in here…”

“There’s something else you should know.”

A pair of black joggers halfway up her legs, she freezes to look at me.

Fuck. I was looking forward to throwing that prick under the bus but I was only considering how much it’d affect him. Not Kota.

“Guy’s cheating on you.”

Sighing, she pulls her pants up the rest of the way. “Not this again.”

“He is. Or he’s planning to. He probably did last night and that’s why—”

“Stop.” Kota’s voice hardens. “Guy wouldn’t do that to me.”

“I overheard him.”

“You overheard him cheating on me…again?”

“Kind of.”

I don’t miss the double blink of those dusty blues. I don’t appreciate it either. I’m not the little boy that cried wolf. I’m the man that’s telling the truth.

“What did you hear?”

“He was talking with Lisann—”

Kota visibly flinches, making me regret saying that bitch’s name.

“—about a two-man.”

“A…two-man? What’s that? A canoe?”

A fucking canoe. Only in Sea Haven.

“It’s a trip to Paris.”

“Paris?”

“You know, the Eiffel Tower.”

“I don’t understand…” She rolls the waistband of her pants down twice. “He wants to take Lisann to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower?”

I hold up my fingers to demonstrate. “No, he wants to have a threesome with her. Two dudes, one girl.”

Kota stares at me, her jaw dropped, her eyes watering.

I hurt her. Goddamn it.

“I’m sorry. I should’ve—”

A knock cuts me off.

I’m yanked into the closet.

“Speak of the dev—”

“Shh.” Kota covers my mouth with her palm.
