The guys are sitting in the booth chatting as I fly by them. From the corner of my eye, I see Grant do a double-take. Head down, I keep walking, hoping they’ll get the hint and let me go.

No such luck.

A strong hand wraps around my wrist, pulling me to a stop.

“Where are you going?” Grant asks.

“Back to the room to get my stuff. I want to go home,” I choke out, my voice sounding weak and shaky.

His eyes widen. “Why? Did something happen in the bathroom?”

“No.”

“Then what? You were fine a minute ago. Did we do or say something to upset you?”

“No. It’s me. I thought I could do this but I can’t, and I really just want to get out of here.”

“You’re not going anywhere until we talk.” Ryan guides me back to the table. I want to put up a fight, but that would only draw attention, and I’m not one to make a scene—and Ryan and Grant know that.

“I don’t want to talk.” Because if I talk, then I’m going to beg them to love me the way I love them, and that’ll just make things even more awkward.

“Tough shit,” Grant growls. “You can’t go to the bathroom and then come out and blow past us without saying a word.”

Lips pinched together, I find the courage to look him in the eye. “You want to know why I’m upset?”

“Yes, I do.” His eyes are hard, and Ryan’s are pretty much the same.

“Because you lied to me. More than once.”

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

Tilting my head, I glare at Ryan and then Grant. “You told me you’ve only been here a few times. Well, I ran into Alex in the bathroom, and according to her, you come here a couple of times a week.”

“Emma…” Grant reaches for my arm, but I pull it away. I don’t want him touching me right now.

“She also says you spend all of your time with Elena and Louisa,” I say, cutting him off.

The hard look on Ryan’s face softens, and for some reason, that just sets me off. “Emma—”

“In the presidential suite,” I add, cutting him off. “How cozy. And here I thought that what we shared here was special.”

“This is special. You are special.” Ryan grins and looks at Grant. “She’s jealous.”

“This isn’t funny, and I am not jealous.”

Grant lays a placating hand on my arm and tries to fight a grin of his own, but I pull away and try to stand up. I’m not sure where I’ll go with them caging me in, but I’m not opposed to crawling under the table if that’s what it takes.

“Emma, sit.” Grant’s voice is low and hard, and I glare at him but plop back down.

“I was foolish to believe that what we shared was special. You made it clear in the shower that I’m just your best friend. I’ll never be more than that. I’ll never be good enough for the two of you because you’re already a package deal—a team.
