“This is my first night out of the clutches of my overbearing father and my idiotic brother. I plan on enjoying it. How far is it to the hotel?” The girl was practically dancing in her seat with energy, her eyes wide with excitement, and part off me was fearful of just what she might do. She was like a caged animal salivating at the prey that lingered just beyond the bars, counting down the minutes until she could attack.
“She’s gonna combust.” I laughed at AJ’s whisper near my ear and quickly covered my mouth. It was far too late, though, and if looks could kill, I would have fallen over right then to my death.
“So back to your hot weekend away.” Raven wagged her brows in the rearview mirror, and it was my turn to glare. Only they were all fearless; my uneasy response did nothing to stop them. “He’s insatiable, isn’t he? Or at least that’s exactly how I’ve imagined Landon to be.”
“You’ve imagined?”
“Uh yeah.” She didn’t even hesitate to respond. “I challenge you to find one woman, or girl for that matter, in the town of Brooklet who hasn’t. I’m sure the reach expands farther than that, but by the greenish look that has now taken over your face, I’ll stop there. But you should really accept the fact that when you date a good-looking man, girls are going to fantasize.”
I wrinkled my nose in disgust.
“So give us some details. Let us live vicariously through you.”
“I’m living out my own fantasies just fine, but a girl is always curious enough to listen.” AJ and Rhett were always so touchy feely, it’s no wonder they’d gone baby first before everything else. More than once they were caught by one member of the family or another with their pants down, so to speak.
“It was a good weekend.” I knew I had to give them something or they would never leave me alone. “We spent a lot of time getting to know one another. It wasn’t all about sex.”
“But parts of it were?” Grace asked with a hopeful expression, and again I laughed without control.
“You are like a ticking time bomb.” AJ shook her head, but she was right; the poor girl was going to combust.
“Tell me about it.” There was no denying it. Even Grace herself understood how wound up she was.
Quickly the conversation ventured off once again to Grace and her need to break from the clutches of her father and brother. Each of us all gave her advice on how to scratch the itch. I had a feeling if this all kept up, whomever the man was that finally got past her guards, she’d end up killing them by sexual exhaustion.
The idea of it only made me laugh internally. Oh, what stories I could see in our future.

“Are those sequined underwear?” I had never truly seen AJ so drunk. In fact, I’m not sure I’d even gotten the pleasure of seeing her tipsy. Then again, I was currently seeing two of her, so I wasn’t a great judge of character at the moment. “I think they’re see through.” When she leaned in to get a closer look at the two men in front of us, I gripped her shirt and pulled her backward.
She flopped against the couch cushions with a thud, and her head lobbed to the side as she tried to bring me into focus. “Don’t get too close. You might lose an eye the way it’s flopping around.” When she stared at me as if I’d just spoken Spanish, then slowly it dawned on her that I was referring to the stripper’s flopping penis, she widened her eyes.
“That would be a hard one to explain to Rhett.” She broke out in a fit of giggles. “Hard.” She pointed to the blond guy’s cock, and my eyes of course followed in that direction. Instantly, I felt guilty as my gaze traveled up his chiseled chest and found him staring at the two of us. Swallowing hard, so hard I actually felt as though my ears clogged, I reached out in search of my phone.
“This is amazing.” Grace stood on the coffee table, her arm stretched out and wrapped securely around the brunette. Her fingers combed through his long locks. “I’m never leaving this hotel room.” She was completely sober, but from the freedom of her actions, you’d never know it.
Feeling something jagged rub over my knee, I shifted my eyes back to the direction of the man that was now practically dry humping my knee, his chest rising and falling, his deep blue eyes watching me close. And my heart sank.
Guilt, though I wasn’t even moving. I was like a statue afraid to breathe, with fear he’d take it as a pant and think I was inviting him for more.
“Excuse me.” I hurried away toward the bedroom and tucked myself safely into the darkened closet on the opposite side of the bed. I had a clear view of the bedroom door and beyond that of the girls. Maddison sat in a corner chair, her feet and knees tucked in close to her chest as she laughed at everyone else. Raven and Grace were molesting the guy that had showed up with a man bun. Now that was turned into a mess from the many times they gripped his hair. He looked like a hot mess, but he was taking it all in stride.
AJ, she sat wide-eyed with her arm stretched out toward the blond guy I’d just practically sprinted away from. At this angle, it appeared as though she was holding him off from coming any closer. If Rhett were here, oh my, that poor man.
Looking down at my phone, I swiped my finger across the screen, and instantly I
