“How long are we going to have to listen to this bad porn dialogue?” Mal thunked his boot on the coffee table and pulled the laces of his Doc Martens tight.
Lauren’s attention swung to Mal. “Porn dialogue?”
Mal’s eyebrows snapped together. “Are you for real?”
“I can say with certainty that I am for real.”
“You’re a trip, Lo. Porn. You know boom boom goes the room with a big dicked dude and a woman—or two—with big titties.”
“I know what it is. I’ve just never watched it.”
“Oh, sweet beloved Jesus,” West said. “Okay, subject change.”
“No, I want to hear about this big dick and multiple woman thing.”
West’s jaw dropped. “I’ve seen your Tumblr, Miss Bryant. I know you know what porn is.”
She shook her head. “Actually, I’ve seen the live action stills, but it’s rare for video to be added to that particular social media platform. Probably because bigger videos slow down the site is my vote. That and I didn’t want to show too much on my browser history.”
“Because you live with your mommy?” Mal said with a sneer.
Lauren’s face paled. “No.”
“Oh, that’s right. Professor Uptight is your poison, right?”
“Mal,” West said tightly.
Lauren brushed by him and headed back for his bunk.
“Really nice. Is asshole your perpetual state of being?”
“You’re starting to talk like her.” Mal stood up straight and looked down at West. They were similar height, but Mal now had nearly two inches on him thanks to his boots and West’s bare feet.
“Doesn’t make you any less of a dick.”
Mal shrugged. “I didn’t lie did I?”
West gave up. Mal was who he was. Most of the time West actually wished he could say half the shit their drummer did. Except for today, of course.
“Could you get your girlfriend out of the bathroom please?” Molly’s voice was clipped and pissy.
The word girlfriend made his spine tingle, but it wasn’t a bad feeling. Just so fast. He’d only been with her for a few days. “Give her a break, Mol.”
“If she uses all the hot water, I’ll break her fingers.” She turned on the balls of her feet and swished away in a haze of spicy perfume.
West sighed and knocked on the door. “Are you all right?”
“I’m fine.” Lauren’s voice was full of false brightness.
“You know Mal is a dick.”
She opened the door and peeked out. “He’s right,” she whispered.
“Ethan is a little uptight.”
“He’s a really nice man. He’s been with me through so much, West. I hate that I hurt him.”
“I know, Lo.” He pulled her out of the bathroom and down the aisle to the corner couch that butted up against their bunks. “But you want to be here with me, right?”
