“Screwing around?” I gritted as the sound of blood rushed to my ears.
“Fucking,” he cringed and swallowed thickly. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, man. It wasn’t a big deal but she won’t let up about it. She keeps trying to sneak around behind your back.”
I huffed out a breath and looked at my friend. “I have a hard time believing that.”
“What? Why? It’s true, man. I know you like her but I thought you should know.”
“Why the fuck would she fuck you when she’s fucking me? You’re not really her type. No offense.”
My pulse thudded in my neck as I processed this information. It didn’t make any fucking sense. Dani liked it when I took control of her. She didn’t like nice guys like Noah. She liked assholes like me.
“It just happened one night. You were working and Theo and I were at the club. She asked me to go back to her room,” Noah shrugged.
“Then why the fuck didn’t you say anything sooner? Like when you found out we fucked?” I asked as I clenched my fists.
“I didn’t want to cause any drama. I thought we could just ignore it and move on but she keeps asking me to hook up again. I’m sorry.”
Before I could respond, Gemma and Theo came up the stairs, both looking like they were aware of the conversion that Noah and I just had.
“So what, every fucking person knows but me?” I gritted.
“It wasn’t like that. I told Theo to get some advice on how to approach you and Gemma overheard it,” Noah explained.
“You alright, man?” Theo asked, sitting on the chair next to us.
“Would everyonestopasking me that?” I asked as I shot up off the couch. “I’m fucking fine. It’s not like we were fucking exclusive or anything, but for her to fuck my best friend behind my back…”
She was acting like a whore, and for what? I couldn’t satisfy her so she needed to fuck my best friend behind my back and embarrass me? I’d never had any complaints before and I never turned her down.
“Kane, you’re shaking,” Gemma said quietly as she touched my arm. I shook her off as I went to the kitchen to pour myself a drink. Booze bottles lined the counter, so I would keep myself busy for a while without having to go downstairs.
Gemma was right, I was shaking. Shaking with rage, anger, and this fucking emotion that I couldn’t pinpoint. And my friends all looked at me like they felt pity for my ass.
I poured a glass of whiskey and tossed it back, trying to settle the curdled feeling in my guts.
“Gemma? Are you up here? I need help with my halo,” Dani called as she climbed the steps.
I squeezed my glass as she came into my sight wearing a short as fuck white dress.
Yeah, she was an angel alright.
An angel of death.
Chapter 30
Dani
“Whodied?”Iaskedas I walked up the steps to Kane’s living room.
I let Gemma talk me into dressing up like an angel–ha.I wore a tight, white lace mini dress with matching heels. I had a halo and wings to wear with it but I needed help putting them on.
Kane clenched his jaw as he stared at Noah, who crossed his arms over his chest and looked at the floor. I couldn’t help but feel like everyone knew something I didn’t.
“You all need to go,” Kane ordered. He turned to Theo. “Get Gemma out of here.”
“Kane, please–” Gemma pleaded.
“Go! Now,” Kane barked.
