CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

CORDY

LANDON PUSHED PAST A stunned Ellie. “You motherfucker!”

Trent put a steadying hand on my hip as Landon stood over us, his hands clenched into fists.

“Please don’t tell me you gave it to him.” Landon’s voice was soft but lethal. He smelled like a keg, his hair was mussed, and some obvious hickeys dotted his neck.

Trent straightened his back. “That’s none of your busines—”

“I wasn’t talking to you!” Landon’s yell ricocheted off the walls of the room. He stared down at me, the awkwardness growing with each second. “Did you?”

“Landon, please leave.” I tried to keep my tone even, but the hurt and anger in his eyes constricted my heart.

“You did.” His face fell. “He didn’t deserve it. He’s just going to use you and throw you away.”

“That’s your M.O., not mine.” Trent made sure the blanket was tucked around me, then stood. “She’s asked you to leave.” He stepped toward Landon until both men were nose to nose.

Ellie leaned against the door frame and fanned herself with her hand.

“I know who you are, Trent.” Landon seethed with anger. “You aren’t fooling me.”

“Either you walk out of here, or I’ll drag you out. Your choice.”

I sat up and clutched the blanket to my chest. “Landon, go.” I put as much authority into my voice as I could.

“You’re choosing him over me?” Landon’s voice shook.

“It’s not like that. You and I are friends. Trent and I—”

“Are fuck buddies now?” Landon kept his eyes on Trent.

I glanced at Ellie, then back to Landon. “What are you even doing here? Why are you with Ellie?”

“Don’t try and turn this around on me!”

I focused on Ellie. “Were you with Landon last night?”

She didn’t look at me, but answered slowly. “We went to a party at the KA house and fell asleep in one of the rooms there.”

“Together? You slept together?” I pointed a finger at her. “And you know what I’m asking.”

“Yeah.” She shrugged.

I flicked my gaze back to Landon, his hypocrisy raising my blood to a steady boil. “Get out.”

He finally broke his staring match with Trent and looked at me. “That’s not the same—”

“Go!”

He flinched at the anger in my voice. I couldn’t remember a time when I’d been this livid with him. His whoring ways and over-the-top antics had never bothered me before. But I wasn’t about to let him stand in judgment of my choices, especially not after all the women he’d been through.

“You heard her.” Trent’s voice was low, the threat more tangible than a raised fist.

Landon scowled and shook his head. “Fine. But I warned you, Cordy. Don’t come crying to me when he breaks your heart again. I won’t be waiting. Not this time.”

His shoulders drooped, and he strode to the door and into the hallway, his head down and his steps heavy.

I stared at the open doorway, my heart angry and aching at the same time. Trent sat next to me and took my hand.

Ellie let the door close and threw herself on her bed. “That went well.
