“There’s my girl. I knew you weren’t born yesterday, even if you’d spent the last three years of your life married to the biggest tight-ass in Manhattan.”
“Okay then. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck. Are you happy now?”
He cackled so loudly that I had to pull the phone from my ear.
“I knew there was hope for you, Av. I will teach you to be a dirty girl, just like me. You’ll be whoring around before you know it.”
“Um, well, I don’t really think so—”
“Anyway,” he interrupted, “what about the guys?”
Ugh. I knew he was going to go there.
“What do you mean?” I asked to stall for time.
“You know what I mean,” he said slowly.
Yeah. I guess I did.
“Sumner told me a bit about their particular…tendencies,” I said.
“Mmm hmm. I bet he did. So what are you gonna do?” he asked.
“Blu, if you knew these guys were into this stuff, why didn’t you ever say anything to me? You know, give me a heads up?”
“Oh. I see. It’s my job to give you a heads up that a harem of men might be interested in you? Well, I tell you what, missy…”
I braced myself for a scolding.
“…I can’t out those guys for their particular proclivities just like you can’t out me for being gay. And, are you kidding? Of course, they were gonna like you. You’re amazing.”
“Well, thank you. Anyway, no one needs to out you for being gay.” I said.
He hmphed. “I’ll take that as a compliment, thankyouverymuch. But back to you. You’re a big girl. You don’t need me to warn you about boys.”
“Well, it might have been nice to know they’re into this sharing thing.”
“Look, Av. They are a nice, good-looking bunch, and I’ve known them for many years. I wish they played for my team, but I gave up on that long ago. If you like them, date them. If not, move on.”
Move on? He was right, I guessed.
But I wasn’t sure I wanted to.
Chapter 12
CHASE
Our Kink Lab party from the night before had been a smashing success, as always. I hadn’t stayed until the end because I wanted to get home to my baby girl, but we’d had about a hundred and fifty guests—our largest party to date—and everything came off smooth as silk.
‘Course, it was no accident when things worked out well. We busted our asses to ensure everything fell perfectly into place for our guests. After all, if you were paying two thousand dollars to attend a party, you’d expect it to be fucking perfect, too.
And the best news was that the lovely Avril was willing to let us test-drive an event at her gallery. According to Ash and Blu, it was the perfect space for Kink Lab, even better than the loft where we’d been holding it for the last two years. Every cloud has a silver lining, I suppose…
I’d never worried about finding a new venue for the parties. New York was chock-full of fascinating old buildings. I knew it would just take some work to find the perfect one. And then Avril’s gallery just fell into our lap, thanks to good old Blu.
But the absolute best thing Blu did was bring Avril into our lives.
Yeah, it was early days, but I had a good feeling about her.
