Edrick’s eyes widened at my words.

“Moana, I think you’ve got the wrong idea,” he said abruptly, taking a few steps toward me and folding his arms across his chest with a huff. “I didn’t sleep with anyone last night.”

I scoffed and shook my head. “I can smell the cheap perfume all over you,” I replied. “It stinks.”
