Eve arched an eyebrow. “That was a bit defensive, eh? You’re going to have to try that a couple more times before someone believes you. Trust me. Neutral expressions and responses are better when you have a secret. This is a secret, isn’t it?”
I sighed and hung my head. “Yeah, it is.”
“I see. And y’all are…sleeping together?”
My head jerked up. “No,” I said quickly. Then, I winced, realizing I’d sounded defensive again. “God, I do sound terrible, don’t I?”
Eve laughed. “It’s cute. Honestly. You sound like someone who has never had to lie a day in her life.”
I flushed. “I never have.”
“Must be nice,” Eve muttered under her breath. “You look like you’re going to combust. What’s really going on with you two?”
And I did feel like I was going to burst. I had no one to talk to about this. I was way out of my depth. My brothers definitely could not know. Which meant Blaire and Piper were off-limits. And their friends, too, because I didn’t trust any of them to keep a secret. But I no longer had a best friend, and it wasn’t like I could tell my dad. What a disaster that would be.
Eve was here. She knew how to keep a secret. In fact, she’d come here to talk to me. For…some reason.
“You first,” I said carefully. Even though I wanted nothing more than to blather on about my own angst. Maybe she’d be more willing to keep my secret if I knew one of hers.
“Ah,” Eve said with a sigh. “Fair enough. I was actually here to ask about Whitton.”
“Whitt?” I asked in surprise.
Eve smiled, and it wasn’t her sharp smile that I’d seen her turn on guys. It was almost shy. “He’s hot. We met at Campbell’s birthday party. But he’s new, and he doesn’t run in any of my circles. The only person I know who knows him is…you.”
“You want me to hook you up with Whitt?”
She laughed. “Oh no. I think I can do most of it on my own. I was just hoping for insider trading info, if you know what I mean.” She winked at me.
“Uh, honestly, I only know what West has told me.”
“No place where I could accidentally run into him again?”
“He’s coming to Annie and Jordan’s wedding. I bet you could talk to him there.”
She wrinkled her nose. “So many people.”
“I mean, I’m sure he’d be into you. What guy wouldn’t be into you?”
Eve laughed hoarsely. “You’re sweet. But plenty.”
I had doubts. If I were a little more inclined to women, I totally would date her. She was gorgeous.
“Well, that’ll have to be good enough. Thank you. Now, spill. You and Weston?”
“Okay, but don’t tell anyone, please. My brothers cannot find out.”
“My lips are sealed.”
I took a deep breath and then released it slowly before divulging the whole messy thing. From our early flirtation, him coming home from LA, the coaching session, to him fingering me in the living room. My face heated as I admitted all of it.
Eve’s eyes were wide. “I’m sorry. He got you off that easily, and you didn’t bang him?”
I laughed. “Uh, no. No, I did not.”
“He didn’t even try to push you into sex? Not even a blow job?”
“No, he proved his point and went to take a shower, as if he was utterly unaffected.”
Eve straightened. “A shower, you say?”
