“If I couldn’t have you beside me, I wanted to at least have you,” he says. His words make me sad.
“I feel terrible for insisting we come alone. I shouldn’t have let my fear rule me,” I admit.
He brushes his thumb along my chin. “I get it, beautiful. I want you to feel safe. I don’t want to jeopardize anything.”
“Thank you,” I say, grateful for his understanding.
I use the tissue to wipe the dampness between my thighs, and then I straighten my dress. Liam pulls his boxers back up and tucks his shirt back in his trousers.
“How do I look?” I ask Liam.
“Like you’ve been thoroughly fucked,” he teases, and he kisses my lips.
I laugh.
“Come, I better get you back out there,” he says, taking my hand.
He leads me out to the narrow hallway we came from, and that’s when we come face-to-face with Carter Lewis.
CHAPTERTHIRTY
Skylar
Liam stops abruptly, and I bump into his back. My blood runs cold when I see Carter. His lips tug in a sneer.
“I can’t fucking believe this,” Carter spits.
“Relax yourself, Lewis,” Liam warns.
“Are you two fucking together?” he asks, pointing back and forth between us. My lips must look bee-stung swollen from all of Liam’s sweet kisses. Who knows how my hair fared. We both look like we were up to the sexy times.
“That’s none of your business,” Liam bites and tugs my hand, getting ready to sidestep Carter. I’m so scared that I feel frozen.
“That’s cheap coming from you,” Carter says, and he places a hand on Liam’s chest.
Liam looks down. “Get your hand off me, Lewis.”
“Or what?” Carter says, then he looks past Liam to me. “Did you ever have my bastard?”
My heart races so fast I feel like it may burst.
“Have some respect, Lewis, and stop talking nonsense,” Liam says, keeping his cool. I’m grateful he is so calm because I feel like my knees will buckle.
“What’s your angle, Bozeman? If you guys are together, why were you asking me about her?” Carter asks.
“I don’t owe you any explanations,” Liam retorts. Again, he is the epitome of cool. “But because I called a truce with you, and I am a man of my word, I will say we were not together when I inquired about Skylar.”
“You took this guy back after the way he left you?” Carter snaps at me. “And shut up about your word, Bozeman. You attacked me in the penalty box.”
Liam cracks his neck to the side, and I’m worried he’s going to lose his composure, but I also know it’s better for me to stay quiet as I don’t know what will set Carter off.
“You know what you said to get me riled up,” Liam answers evenly. “I’m trying to be a friend here, Carter, but don’t push me.”
“Everything okay here?” Wolfe asks. Evan is standing beside him.
“Everything is just fine,” Liam confirms. “Carter was just going back inside to his seat.”
“I was actually inquiring if you had my child, Skylar. Answer the damn question,” Carter says, and I watch his anger rise. I’m very familiar with it.
