“That’s it. You aresohaving sex with him,” Yo said. “Cursebreaker loading.”
“But I don’t even know what he looks like,” I argued back.
“Well, apparently he’s hot,” Sarah said, scratching Petal who depuffed at the head scratch.
“Hot is subjective,” I said quickly.
“If a gorgeous model with what I might just add are incredibly perky breasts thinks he’s hot, then he’s also probably hot by our, less perky-boobed, standard,” Sarah said.
“Hey, speak for yourself. My boobs are still very perky!” Yo said, pushing out her chest.
“Mine too.” I looked down at my chest. “Well, they’re too small for gravity to have any effect on them.”
Sarah sighed. “When I bend down to pick stuff up, they hit my chin.”
“Seriously.”
I burst out laughing and then patted Sarah’s shoulder in mock sympathy as Yo leaned forward to inspect her chest. We were a boundary-less group for sure.
My phone beeped again.
Max:Sorry, are you uncomfortable with that?
I lowered my phone and looked at my friends.
“He wants to know if I’m uncomfortable with him coming along?”
“Why would you be? That’s kind of a normal work thing,” Yo said.
“I suppose . . .”
“Sebastian often tags along on recces and surveys, not to mention other crew members and agency people, who you haven’t met. Unless . . . you’re uncomfortable for another reason.” She winked at me.
“It’s not like we’ll be sharing a room. And I’ll be working the entire time, and he will too, so we probably won’t even see each other.”
Yo shrugged, but also gave me another mischievous smile. I looked over at Sarah, wanting her take on the situation, but she also reciprocated with a grin.
“You guys are loving this way too much. It makes me wonder about your sex lives.”
“Russ and I have amazing sex, I’ll have you know,” Sarah replied quickly.
“I can second that.” Russ popped his head round the corner again. Clearly hehadbeen listening.
We all turned and looked at Yo, who gave a very conspiratorial look. “A lady never kisses and tells.”
“But this is aboutyoursex life.” Sarah pointed at me. “Not ours.”
I looked at them for a while, weighing it up in my head, and then quickly put my fingers down to my screen.
Leigh:Yeah. Totally fine with that. I’ll be really busy though, but it will be nice meeting you in person.
Max:Yes, it will be really, really great meeting you in person too.
Two “really”s. I felt my cheeks go red and warm again. This man had the power to alter my body temperature through the phone.Oh my God, maybe he did make women come just by looking at them.
Max:And I promise I won’t get in your way . . . unless you want me to?
My cheeks instantly flushed as I imagined all the ways that he could get in my way. He could get in my way a lot, but would I let him?
