Everly
All I can hear is the sound of Lylaâs voice laughing in my ears as I leave the club.
Even though Troy gave me a ride to the club, I'd rather not be in a vehicle with him right now. Heâs too persuasive of a talker and I want to believe the sweet, seemingly genuine words he's saying. Thoughts of our passion and encounter last night keep flashing through my mind, partnering with Lylaâs cruel laughter.
My cheeks sting as I leave the front door under a slight nod of the bouncer.
I'd be lying if I tried to say that Troy wasn't the best lover I've ever had. The way he touched me, talked to me, looked at me, everything felt perfect and right, and in that moment, I could almost imagine falling for him. Which makes this morning's revelation all the more painful.
âHey, let me give you a ride home.â I glance over my shoulder in time to see Konan lightly jogging in my direction. âDon't worry, I'm not going to make a move or ask you out. I just want to get you home safe.â I have to wonder if the reason he said those words is written on my face or if everybody just knows what happened between Troy and me already.
âI'd appreciate that. Thank you.â Getting a ride home would definitely be better walking because while it's only about a fifteen-minute drive, walking and navigating the neighborhoods between here and there would be dangerous and difficult.
He leads me toward his high-end sports car - Iâm not a car person and couldn't say what the make or model is, but itâs certainly sleek, shiny, and looks expensive - and he opens the passenger door for me.
I thank him with a smile and slide into the seat, watching the front of the club as I see Troy open the door and watch me go. I can see sadness in his expression along with frustration and wonder if he doesn't like seeing me with Konan. I don't really care what he thinks or how he feels right now.
I can't believe it was all a bet. It was a farce, a sham, a scam. All he wanted to do was get in my pants so that he could increase his already staggering wealth. And to what end? What's the point? When you have as much money as these men have, why do you need every little bit more? I can't imagine he would have won an amount that would make any real difference.
âWhere am I going?â Konan asks as he clicks his seat belt home.
I give him the address of the dog park and he arches an eyebrow at me. âSafe. Good move. Not because I'm in danger, but because not everybody's a good person.â His completely disarming smile has the corners of my lips curving slightly. He really is charming. Too bad I feel like my heart just got ripped out and stomped on.
Most of the drive is in silence, although he does attempt to make small talk at certain points.
