Cheat With My Boyfriend Best Friend

Quarrel

David followed me out as well.

“You?” Aaron ‘shook his head. He glanced at me in disbelief for a few seconds, then sneered. “Really?”

His voice was h*ar*e and frigid, and his single-worded question hung in the air before David spoke up again.

This whole party was just a charity event at the end of the night, so did it really matter who bid on who? No one really had the power to force Aaron to do something he didn’t want

to.

“Enough.”

He raised his head to look at me, and my hand grew cold as he pulled away. My fingers moved to take hold of his once more, but I never raised my hand the rest of the way. I
