FreeNovel|| Watching Caleb fret and fume, Cillian sighed and said, "It's not what you think, Caleb. The Charleston royals have been nothing but kind to us. It's just that I, uh, kind of ended up sleeping with a woman..." Cillian's face was the picture of regret, but Caleb nearly spat out his drink.
What! Slept with a woman? His little brother Cillian, the golden boy, actually slept with a woman? That was more jaw-dropping than ticking off the king of Charleston! "Spill it, man. What the heck happened?" Caleb leaned in, his eyes sparkling with a mix of excitement and the irresistible pull of juicy gossip.
Cillian's mouth twitched involuntarily. Was his brother actually getting a kick out of that? However, Caleb was the only one he could talk to about it, so Cillian confessed, "Yesterday, Lucy turneddown. I was so bummed out that I hit the bar and got plastered." Caleb had to stifle a laugh, which cout as a coughing fit. It was sad that his little brother was nursing a broken heart with booze, but why was it so funny? "Are you laughing at me, Caleb?" Cillian looked up, his eyes narrowing as he caught Caleb's gaze. Caleb was quick to shake his head.

"Well, I ran into this woman at the bar, and we ended up having a few drinks..." Cillian spilled the beans about the whole Yitty situation in one go, finishing with a heavy sigh.
"Caleb, why do you think she doesn't wantto step up?" "Just wait a sec. Let's not talk about stepping up just yet. What I'm trying to wrap my head around is, are you absolutely sure you slept with her?" Caleb's voice was laced with skepticism. He really had his doubts about the whole story.
Cillian did not have a single memory of the night, just that unwavering belief based on the woman's side of the story that he had slept with her.
However, a guy should have sinkling about that kind of thing.
"I'm positive. I mean, wouldn't I know if I slept with her? And why would she accuseby risking her own reputation, only to take off rep Cillian trailed off, his head drooping. He was at a loss for Yitty's whereabouts.
Caleb could not keep questioning his little brother seeing how sure he was, but he could not resist a little jab. "Maybe she doesn't want you to step up because she's just not that into you.
"I mean, for a guy who can't stick to one dish without eyeing the next, you're lucky she didn't smack you." Cillian's lips twitched, a part of him itching to give Caleb a piece of his mind. How did he nail it? Yitty had actually slapped him.
"Whatever she's thinking, I've got to find her and get the story straight. Caleb, will you helpout?" Looking for someone in this big, wide world was like trying to climb to the sky-next to impossible.

Yitty had the look of a Daburinean, and when it cto trackingo m someone down in Daburin, Caleb was the man for the job, hands down. Cillian gave Caleb the most woeful
puppy-dog eyes, but Caleb just shivered and asked, bewildered, "Why bother chasing after her? You guys aren't in love or anything. Just let a fling be a fling and move on."
Caleb, the heartbreaker, was not one to get tied down.
Even if a woman begged him to step up, he would just toss scash and strut away. He did not get where Cillian was coming from, but Cillian was not looking for understanding. He just kept his eyes locked on Caleb.
"I need to find her, Caleb. Are you going to helpor not?" X
