Mac grunted, seemingly satisfied Georgia wasn’t overdoing it. She was barely pregnant, not even out of the first trimester. I had to wonder what he–and the other men–were going to be like when she was about to pop.
Mac asked Theo if he was still attending the Saturday fire training this week, so Georgia turned toward us. She tucked her hair behind her ear and leaned in. “Someone needs to explain why we’re sitting with Dr. Dark and Dangerous.”
“Aspen slept with him,” Mallory whisper-shared.
Georgia’s eyes widened and I took a gulp of wine. Oh, and my nipples hardened.
“If I could drink that, I would.” Georgia pointed at my half-full glass. “Have another sip for me.”
I did.
“I thought he was in a relationship with Lacey Anderson.”
“Who?” I wondered. Luke was in a–
“Gossip. I mean, he’s clearly not in rehab,” Mallory told Georgia.
Rehab?
I whipped my head around and stared at Luke.
“Aspen,” Georgia said with a nudge to my side.
I turned back to her. “Huh?”
“Tell me all about it,” she said.
“Who’s Lacey and what’s this with rehab? Maybe I need to get a TV.”
She shook her head. “No. It’s not TV you need, well, maybe that a little, but social media. It’s all fake.”
She waved her manicured hand through the air as if it was no big deal. To me it was. If he was with someone else–
“Rumor is he’s in rehab. We know the truth since he’s sitting right here. He’s not in rehab,” she stated.
“Right,” Mallory said with a snicker. “He’s in Aspen.”
She laughed at her own joke and Bridget had to cover her mouth so she didn’t spit out her wine.
I rolled my eyes. “Then who’s Lacey?”
“Supposedly his girlfriend but she’s the one saying he’s in rehab, so since he’s here with you, it’s all clearly made up.”
I glanced down the table at Luke, whose gaze had been on me. He winked.
“If that doesn’t butter your biscuit,” Georgia breathed. “As us Southern girls say, spill the tea.”
I sighed. “It was better than anything you’re imagining right now,” I said.
“She had orgasms from Shep Barnes–” Mallory began.
“Derek Dashwood–” Georgia corrected to his actor name.
“Luke Graham,” I said, making sure she knew his real name.
“Luke,” Georgia repeated. “I bet they were good ones.”
“While you’re taking home pizzas,” Mallory told Georgia, “Aspen’s taking home Luke. We know she’s a vegetarian, but we have to wonder if she puts some meat in that mouth.”
