“Wait... do you need me to do anything?”
“If you hear from Killian, tell him I went looking for him at Stan’s.”
“Um, okay. You know it’s almost midnight, right?”
“I have to find him, it’s urgent.”
“I can come get you if you want...”
The murmur of a grumbling female voice echoed through the line.
Oh, crap.He was with someone.
“No, it’s fine. I can handle it. Just call me if you hear from Kill, okay?”
“You sure?”
“Yes, I’ve got this.”
“Okay, keep me posted.”
After hanging up, I searched through the bag of clothes Killian had brought and speared my legs through a pair of sweatpants. With his shirt still on, I threw on my jacket and stepped into my boots.
I had to find Killian before something terrible happened.
“I really owe you one, Cordi.” I slid into the passenger’s seat and gave her a grateful smile.
She released a big yawn and hugged her big puffer jacket tight against her body. “No biggie, girl. What are roomies for?”
“Seriously, thank you.”
“The only thing I ask in return are the naughty details.” She eyed the old marina across the street. “What the hell were you doing all the way out here?”
My lips pressed into a tight line. “I can’t really say.” The last thing I wanted to do was get Cordi involved in all of this.
“Are you kidding me?”
“It’s for your own good, trust me.”
She blew out a breath and shifted the car into drive. “Okay, then, can you tell me where we’re going at least?”
“To Stanford Davenport’s summer home. It’s only a few miles away along the shore.”
Again, that skeptical gaze. “And why are we going there in the middle of the night?”
“Because I have to find Killian.”
“I knew this was about him!” A spark lit up her inquisitive eyes as she smacked the steering wheel in excitement. “You guys are totally fucking, aren’t you?”
“Yes.” At least that was one truth I could give her.
“Oh, damn! Spill, is he as good as the rumors claim?”
Better. So much better.
“He’s okay.” I tossed her a smirk before inputting Stan’s address into the navigation system. “Now drive, and I’ll tell you more on the way.”
“Yes, ma’am.” She revved the engine and took off onto the desolate streets. “I bet Killian loves that bossy side of you in bed.”
