Liam got up and put his head on his hand so he could look down at me. “What are you talking about?”
“Over the years, I’ve wondered if the reason Darren cheated was because I was missing something. Did Tracy have something I didn’t? There had to be a reason he cheated on me with her. A reason he’s marrying her and not me.” I rubbed Liam’s arm as I talked, “And since you’re the only other person who’s had sex with me and Tracy, I figured you would know.” My hand paused. “Not that that’s why I slept with you, you know. I just realized all this tonight.”
“I know you wouldn’t use me as an experiment. And, no, Tracy didn’t have anything you don’t.” He collapsed down and rolled to his back. “In fact, she’s the one lacking things that you have.”
I smiled. “Ooh, do tell.”
He laughed. “You’re kind and thoughtful. You have a banging body.”
“In all honesty, so does Tracy,” I pointed out.
“She might look good, but she doesn’t have your warm heart. And I think that’s why Darren was attracted to her. Deep inside, he knew you were too good for him, and Tracy was more on his level. Let’s be honest—those two were meant for each other.”
I turned to my side, rested my head on Liam’s shoulder, and rubbed his chest. “Not only are you sexy, but you are also wise.”
He chuckled and put his hand over mine. He dragged it down to his hard length. “In that case, how about a celebratory fuck?”
I grinned. “What are we celebrating?”
“Getting rid of those two assholes.”
I threw my head back and laughed. “I think that’s an excellent idea.”

Monday morning, Chloe and I packed our things and loaded my SUV to head back to Hanover. We’d only been at the cabin since Thursday evening, but it felt like we’d been there for weeks. And I meant that in the best way possible.
I put my palm on her thigh as she leaned back against the headrest and gazed out the window. She turned to me and smiled, resting her hand over mine. She looked back to the window, and I grinned. We didn’t need to talk to each other as we rode home. Being in each other’s presence was enough.
It wasn’t a surprise that Chloe fell asleep on the drive. The sun was out, so it was warm in the SUV. Plus, we hadn’t gotten much rest the night before.
I pulled into her driveway late in the morning, and she woke on her own.
“Are we here?” she asked with a yawn as she stretched her arms over her head.
I turned off the engine. “We are.”
We exited my vehicle, and I helped her bring her things inside. We had a lot of food leftover from our trip, and we were splitting it. There was also the wine and other stuff we had bought when we went to town.
Chloe unlocked the door and came to an abrupt stop once she was inside.
“What’s wrong?”
“Savannah,” she said through clenched teeth.
I was still in the doorway, so I couldn’t see much from my point of view. “What did she do? Leave a stack of dirty dishes by the sink? Use your living room as her closet?” I snapped my fingers. “I know. She had a party and left a mess.”
Chloe looked at me. “Worse.”
I frowned. “What could be worse than someone trashing your home for a party you didn’t even get to attend?”
She finally walked all the way inside. “She rearranged my things and moved her stuff into my house.”
I came in behind her and scanned the room. I’d only been in her house twice, so I didn’t have a good memory of what it had looked like before.
“That chair isn’t mine. That picture that she took the time to hang on the wall isn’t mine.” She stomped over to her bookshelf and pointed. “All these bird figurines aren’t mine. I said she could stay temporarily. It’s been two months, and not only did she move her things in while I was out of town, but she also hasn’t chipped in to help at all. No rent, no utilities. She barely even pays for food.”
