Two Days (The Private Club #2)(10)

“Mind your own business, Meg.” He groaned and increased his pace. He was breathing heavily and I knew that he was close to an orgasm.

“I don’t want to mind my own business.” I screamed. “I want to know who I’m f**king.”

“You’re f**king Greyson Twining.” He grunted and his body shuddered against me as he climaxed. I wrapped my legs around him tighter and I felt myself joining him as an orgasm wracked though my body. I gripped his shoulders as my body shook and he continued to f**k me hard as we both came. A few seconds later he fell against me, panting and we stared at each other with stars in our eyes. I slowly unwrapped my legs from around his waist and he let me down to the ground. He turned on the water again and let it wash over us before picking up my body wash again.

“I guess it’s time to wash our sins away.” He poured some body wash into my hands and then started scrubbing down his own body. I rubbed my body gently, not looking at him and feeling slightly hurt at his words.

“What’s your game, Greyson?” I whispered to him.

“You don’t want to know, Meg.” He shook his head, his eyes bleak. “I’m not a man you want to get to know.”

“You can’t just say that. That’s not an answer.” My voice rose and I could feel myself getting angry. I was starting to feel slightly ashamed of myself for what I’d done. I needed to know what was really going on.

“It’s done, Meg.” He shook his head and looked away from me. “Leave it alone.”

“Why is Brandon Hastings coming tomorrow?” I said the only thing I thought would get a reaction from him. Greyson didn’t look surprised at my words. In fact, he seemed to expect what I was going to say.

“He’s coming because he’s a sinner.” He shrugged and turned off the shower. “He’s coming because he started the club with me. He’s coming because we have business to take care of.”

“What does that mean?” I looked at him with wide eyes.

“You don’t want to know. You should go back to your room now.” And with that, he stepped out of the stall, leaving me alone and vulnerable. I was no closer to knowing anything. All I knew now was that I was capable of making bad decisions. Very, very bad decisions.

Chapter 4

I walked back to my room in tears. I felt like a part of my soul had been torn out of my body. I decided to go back to the study to try to call Katie again. I needed to hear her voice. She was someone familiar and trustworthy, and I needed that right now. I felt like I was in a pit with snakes and dragons and I didn’t know if either side was good. I looked around to see if I was being followed this time. I thought it was strange that Greyson had seen me go into the study and hadn’t asked me why I had gone in. It was also strange that he had come to find me and had been following me. He’d never said why. I opened the door to the study slowly and walked in. What did it all mean? Why had Greyson come to find me? David had made it clear that I shouldn’t expect to see Greyson until tomorrow. What did it mean that he had come to find me this evening?

I hurried to the desk and picked up the phone. I dialed the numbers quickly and held my breath. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get through the night without sobbing my eyes out if I didn’t get to talk to Katie.

“Hello?” Her voice sounded tired, but I didn’t care.

“It’s me.” I whispered into the phone.

“Meg!” she screeched, and my heart warmed as I smiled. How I loved Katie! She was more than my best friend – she was like my sister. “What is going on? Where are you?”

“I’m still at the club.” I spoke into the phone softly and looked around the room, paranoid that someone was spying on me somehow.

“Why are you whispering?” She sounded concerned. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Look, I need to ask you something. Where is Brandon?”

“Brandon, honey. Meg’s on the phone!” Katie sounded loved up as she whispered to Brandon and I wanted to shout at her. I heard him saying something to her, but I couldn’t quite hear what he was saying.

“Katie!” I said her name, loudly this time.

“Yes, Meg?” This time, she sounded confused.

“Can you get away from Brandon for a moment?”

“Yeah? Why?”

“I need to talk to you. And I need to make sure that Brandon isn’t around.”

“Oh my God, what’s going on?” Katie sounded slightly panicked. “Hold on, Meg. Brandon, I need to talk to her first.”

“What’s going on, Katie?”

“Brandon, she needs to tell me something.” Katie’s voice was sharp and I could hear something akin to fear in her tone. “What’s it about, Meg?”

“Katie, I told you I didn’t want Brandon to know.”

“We don’t have secrets.” Katie’s voice was petulant and I wanted to scream. She hadn’t seen the man in seven years and already she was taking his side over mine.

“Tell him I know about his ‘college fiancée’ Maria.” I spouted out.

“Maria?” Katie sounded confused. “How did you hear about that?”

“You know about Maria?” It was my turn to be confused.

“Didn’t I tell you? He was only dating her because her dad used to work for him. I told you that Maria and Matt and Will are all related, right?”

“Wait, what? Are you talking about the new Maria, or his college fiancée Maria?”

“Why would I be talking about his college fiancée?” Katie sounded confused, and then I heard her gasp.

“Meg.” Brandon’s voice was smooth and firm as he spoke into the phone. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“How are you making this call?”

“What are you talking about?” I feigned ignorance.

“You need to leave the club right now, Meg. I told you that you shouldn’t be there.”

“How did you know that, Brandon?”

“What do you mean?”

“Does Katie know that you started the club?”

He was silent on the other side and so I continued. “Does Katie know the truth about Maria? Does she even know that you’re planning on coming here tomorrow?”

“Meg, you don’t understand,” he pleaded. “Please.”

“Please what?” I screeched. “You and Greyson are freaks.”
