She shakes her head. “Are you fucking kidding? I’d drive you over there myself if Huey and Duey weren’t lurking outside, then he could pop your cherry all over again, and this time you’d get to wave it in front of Vlad’s smirky face.”

I stifle a laugh, though this is far from funny.

“Oh, Ana, I wish I had your prowess. You should’ve been born into this family, not me.”

“Nonsense, you have tons of it. You’ve more gumption than anyone I’ve ever met, but it’s time you started believing how strong you truly are. You give all your power to Vlad and your father. There is no way you’re marrying that creep, over my dead body will I let that happen.”

I sniff into my already soggy tissue. “Ana, the way Marco kisses me…”

She leans in. “How was his dick?”

I roll my eyes, but I know I have to tell her. “So good,” I whisper. “And…big.”

“This is so damn hot, I need a recap.”

I laugh. “You’re not getting one. I’ve said too much as it is.”

“Those Medicis are swoony,” she goes on. “Marco looks like the type to be hung like a horse, no wonder you want to go running back there to ride his dick. I can’t blame you.”

My eyes go wide. Out of all of my friends, Ana is the dirtiest one. She says it like it is and always has.

“Do you have to be so crude?”

“What? Like you’re not thinking it.”

“I shouldn't be thinking it.”

She shakes her head. “You can’t help how you feel, Kat, but I also don’t want you to put yourself in danger again, not for anyone.”

“I know that,” I say. “But honestly, under the asshole I thought he was, I realized he puts on a bravado a lot like I do. When we’re alone together, he’s so sweet, so passionate. I’ve never had a man look at me the way he does.”

She starts to fan herself. “Hey, hasn’t he got two younger brothers? We could have a double date, I could take the two brothers, and you take Marco.”

I laugh again. “You are incorrigible.”

She smiles proudly as there’s a knock at the door.

Dimitri pokes his head in the door. “Dinner is served, Katiya. Aleksi has requested you and your friend’s company.”

His eyes flick to Ana for half a second as she sits up a little taller, smiling like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth.

I don’t know why he’s now playing the butler role, but if Uncle Aleksi is anything to go by, I’d say he’s already taking this security detail a little too far.

“Thank you, Dimitri,” I say as he disappears again.

When he’s gone, Ana says, “I bet he’s hung like a horse too. I’m so fucking over guys with a limp dick.”

I shake my head. “You’ve had some limp dicks lately?”

She groans. “You’ve no idea. Seriously, I need you to hook me up with Dimitri. Russian men may be assholes, but they’re the only ones who know how to fuck. I need to be reamed in all the wrong places by him and his friend.”

I snort as I go to finish my vodka and end up snorting it halfway up my nose.

She pats me on the back as I cough.

“Oh, Ana,” I say as she pulls me in for another hug. “I don’t know where I’d be without you.”

“Bored shitless,” she replies. “Now let’s go down to dinner, and then you’re gonna help me hatch a plan to snag Dimitri… and Maxim.”
