Jegs beamed excitedly, a beer in one hand, a dripping bikini top clutched in the other. “Bro, did Reggie tell you? Grandmaster Kai was here.”
Breck blinked at his words, then stiffened and shot upright. “What?”He glanced around, yanking his arms free from the girls. “When? Where?”
“Like twenty minutes ago.”
Charlie nodded. “He was in the hallway. Had just come in.”
Breck swallowed, unable to comprehend what he was hearing.Kai had come here? During this party?While I was passed the fuck out?“Why was he here? What did he want?” Had he exposed their secret?
“Dunno.” Charlie shrugged.
Jegs grinned and held up the bikini top. “We got abducted.”
“He was lookin’ for somebody,” Reggie piped in, joining their powwow.
Shit.
“Who?” Breck heard himself croak.
Reggie hiked his beefy shoulders. “Said the guy he came for wasn’t here.”
Oh, thank fuck. Breck exhaled. Kai hadn’t spotted him.
“Was weird, though,” Reggie continued. “He’d been standing right there.” He pointed to the room’s entryway. “Lookin’ tense as hell while eyeingyourwasted ass.”
Breck froze, his chest clenching. “He was… looking atme?”
“Yeah,” Reggie laughed. “While Shae was giving you that lap dance and Shawnie was suckin’ on your face.”
The girls flushed and averted their gazes.
Breck’s heart all but flatlined behind his fucking ribs.
Oh, no. Oh, God. Oh, fuck.
“Prolly recognized you from taekwondo,” Jegs offered.
Charlie grinned. “Or maybe he was just jealous of all the female attention.”
Breck was going to vomit. Could literally feel the color draining from his face.
Kaihadseen him. Had beenwatchingas Shae and Shawnie had done only God knows what. With Shawnie all up in his grill, Kai might not have even known that he was unconscious. Especially since he’d told Reggie the person he’d been looking for wasn’t there.
Meaning he’d concluded Breck wasn’t the man he’d been hoping he was.
Just another inebriated man-whore who couldn’t get his act together.
Breck lurched to his feet, heart racing, and eyed the door. He had to find him and convince him he wasn’t what he thought. That he hadn’t been messing around with those girls and hadn’twantedto drink.
He’d just been using it as an escape. As a crutch.
Something he suddenly realized he’d been doing for a while.
Would Kai believe him, though? And if he did, would he even care? Breck had to believe that, somehow, he would. He’d stopped by, after all. Why else would he come? Clearly not to expose Breck. He hadn’t spilled the beans to a single one of his friends.
No, he’d wanted to see Breck. To talk. Maybe extend an olive branch?
While Breck had been trashed with two girls atop him, Kai had been making an effort.
