Sophie jutted her chin toward Darcy. “What’s your angle?”
“Sex.” Darcy winked.
Sophie laughed. “Fun. Do tell.”
Darcy shrugged. “I do advice, product reviews, how-to columns, stuff like that.”
Sophie winked at Griffin. “Aren’t you a lucky guy?”
“You have no idea,” he said with a grin.
Darcy held her finger to her lips. “Shhh, don’t tell anyone. It has to be our little secret.”
Only a select few knew the origins of Darcy’s blog, considering she was first lady of a small town. Ryder was surprised she’d told Sophie, but on the other hand, not surprised at all.
They were cut from the same cloth, after all.
Sophie made a locking gesture over her mouth and threw away the imaginary key. “I won’t tell a soul.”
“I trust you,” Darcy said. “Look at all the good things you’re doing for the town. That speaks volumes.”
“I’m just doing my job,” Sophie said.
“I disagree.” Darcy beamed a smile. “Doing your job would be to keep everything that had been set up running smoothly and in an organized fashion. But you went out and made it better, increased revenue, publicity, community excitement.”
Sophie shrugged. “To me that’s my job.”
Darcy tilted her head toward her husband. “I’m afraid Griffin might be in love with you.”
Griffin rolled his eyes.
Ryder scrubbed his hand over his jaw. “I think Darcy is right.” He winked at the pretty woman with her dark hair and dancing blue eyes. “What are we going to do to break up this love affair?”
Now it was Sophie’s turn to roll her eyes.
The truth was, Griffin was a little in love with Sophie—not with her body but with her mind. He’d been desperate for someone with her considerable talents and planned on milking her for whatever he could.
Darcy’s expression turned sly and she raised her glass, taking a sip of her martini before saying, “We could just have a four-way and let them get it out of their system.”
Sophie laughed. Griffin had been taking a drink and started to choke. Darcy reached over and patted him on the back.
Ryder, however, looked at Sophie with utter seriousness and nodded. “If we must, we must.”
Darcy put on a good appearance for the public, but she was a bad girl and never let Griffin forget it in safe company. Her lips twitched. “You guys could come back to our hot tub.”
Sophie’s expression danced with mirth. “Only if we’re naked.”
“Darlin’, that’s a given,” Ryder said and put his hand along the back of her neck, rubbing it softly. “I’m not about to pass up on a chance to see Darcy naked.”
Sophie’s gaze flicked over Darcy. “I can’t say I blame you.”
Darcy laughed and smirked at Ryder. “You’d better find a way to keep her, because she might be my new favorite person.”
He was working on it. Because he wanted to keep her. Needed to keep her.
“Who knew small town America could be so fun,” Sophie said, with a wicked grin.
Griffin and Darcy laughed.
