Her smile grows twice as big. “I’d love to.”
Our table is still empty, and I could text him to let him know where I’ll be, but he probably won’t even notice I’m gone. Even if he does, he knows I’m a hoe.
She hooks her elbow in mine, and we head toward theexit. A small hand grabs my bicep, and I spin around to see Jordana. My date drops my arm, probably because she thinks this is my girlfriend.
“Are you going back to Encore?” she asks.
“Uh, yeah.” I link my arm with Kandiito put her at ease.
“Can you see if Bryan is there?”
I furrow my brow. “I thought he was with you?”
“He was, but I turned around and he was gone. I can’t find him anywhere. He mentioned having a work call—it just seems like it’s been a while.”
I peer behind her, and there’s a swarm of people dancing. I’ve got pretty solid eyesight and still can’t see for shit in this nightclub. “Where’s Veronica and everybody else?”
“I lost them in the crowd. I’m gonna head back to the table. We said if we got separated we would meet there.”
“Do you want to come with us and check the hotel to see if he’s there?”
“No, I don’t want Veronica to think I’ve abandoned her. I’m going to wait here for them. Besides, if Bryan caught me leaving the club next to you, he’d have a fucking conniption.” She laughs it off, but it rubs me the wrong way. “I don’t want to deal with his temper tonight.”
“Is that a common occurrence?” On the plane, he went on and on about how solid he and Jordana are. Yet, walking out with me would make him lose his shit? The more I’m exposed to their relationship, the rockier it appears. I hate to put such strong accusations on my best friend, but something about this feels off. Could I be naive about the way he treats her? I mean, maybe? But this is Bryan we’re talking about.
“We’re fine.”
Not the right answer.She didn’t deny it, and simply brushed off his behavior like it’s nothing.
“Well, I’m not going to leave you here by yourself.”
“No, I’m good, really. You enjoy...” She looks at my date.
“Kandii.” Kandii introduces herself.
“Kandii—nice to meet you.” She smiles and shifts her gaze back to me. “I’m going to wait at the table. See you later.”
Scanning the crowd, I see none of the other groomsmen or bridesmaids. Fuck. “’Kay. Stay behind the ropes. If I find him, I’ll send him down. But if he’s not there, I’m coming back to make sure he shows up.”
“Thanks, Cam. I’m sure it’s not necessary.”
Cam. Jesus, why does her shortening my name like that make my dick twitch? I need to get laid worse than I thought. Now Ireallywant that motherfucker to be up there. I need to get him back to Jordana so I can take care of this hellish dry spell. I track her as she walks away and don’t turn around until she’s behind the bouncer manning the VIP area. Kandii takes my hand, and we head toward the exit.
On the elevator up to our suite, she kisses my neck, and I’m already getting hard.See, this is all I needed.After this, it will all return to normal. When the elevator dings and we step out, I fish my phone from my pocket and open the hotel app to unlock the door.
As soon as the light flashes green, I push the door open and freeze.
“Shit.”
“Fuck!” Bryan shouts.
He’s got Veronica against the wall, her legs are wrapped around his waist, and he’s balls deep. If it weren’t happening in front of me, I wouldn’t believe it. It makes my fucking heart sink. I’ve played with guys who cheat on their spouses before, but none of their affairs have ever put a knot in mythroat like this one does. I’ve known this guy his whole life. How could he do that to her?
“Goddamn it, Teller! What the fuck?! I’ve got the room, get out!”
I stumble back into the hall but only close the door enough to block my view of them. I caught him, and his response is tofinish?
“That’s fucked up, man. Her best friend?”
