CHAPTER ELEVEN

MAKAYLIE

A chill sweeps over me as the fog clears from my mind.

It’s still dark, and although Cain and I went to bed together, his presence is not next to me as I wake fully. Rolling over in the large king bed, I sit up, looking around his huge bedroom.

Pulling the covers away from my body, the chill of the air wafts through the early morning, and I reach out, grab a robe that Joey brought back from my apartment, and place it on over my pajamas as I head to the bathroom in search of Cain.

My bare feet are cold on the floor, but as I walk into the bathroom, it is empty. Furrowing my brows, I leave his room and quietly pad down the hall toward the living room. I’m tiptoeing, knowing that Joey is asleep on the sofa, and I don’t want to wake her as I walk out. Trying to be as quiet as possible, I make it to the living room to see Joey’s bed made up on the sofa. It looks like it was slept in, but she’s not there. Falling flat on my feet, I stop, huffing, and look around the room, trying to figure out where the hell everyone is. A slight giggle is heard down the hall, followed by a deep throaty groan.

I look back to Rodberg’s room and raise my brow.

Okay, so I know where Joey is, but where the fuck is Cain?

A lowered voice gains my attention, and I approach the balcony. Cain’s just outside the door, talking on his cell. I turn to go back to bed, but I hear Cain mention the name of the club we were at last night. I turn back around and get closer to eavesdrop on the conversation. I walk up to the sofa and sit so I’m not obvious but close enough to hear from behind the door.

“The guy was there to make a deal, and you’re telling me it’s a coincidence he goes after her?”

Sitting a little taller, I furrow my brows.

“No, I told you she means nothing to me, Trap. She was just a woman I saw there last night. She took my attention. That’s all. What I am saying is… if a guy like Zorko can spot that I was eyeing that chick from across the room, then went after her to get to me… who else is watching my moves?”

My body tenses as my brows pull together, praising whoever will listen that I’m currently sitting down. Is Cain saying he knew that guy from last night? The guy who tried to…

“I don’t know. I’m rattled. I don’t know who to trust. Even you’re throwing accusations at me.”

I feel guilty like I really shouldn’t be listening to this, but I can’t help but stay glued to the spot.

“Fuck! I told you, she was just a woman who caught my eye. When I saw what Zorko was doing to her, I wanted to help her. I know what that
