Daria rolled her eyes, the corners of her mouth quirking up. “Where you read the fortune, and addin bedto the end.”
I didn’t get it. I exchanged looks with Tanner, and he shrugged.
“You’ve never done that.” Disbelief filled Daria’s question.
I shook my head.
“Time to expand your horizons.” Daria cracked her cookie in the package, opened the plastic, and pulled out the slip of paper. “Your road to glory will be rocky, but fulfilling. In bed.” She looked up at us, expectation written on her face.
I chuckled. “Okay. I can see the fun in this.” I cracked a cookie open and grabbed the fortune. “Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the conquest of it. In bed.”
“Yeah, all right, I like this.” Tanner laughed. “All things are difficult before they are easy. In bed.”
Daria grinned. “That’s the truth.” She held up her second cookie. “I assume we do two rounds of this?”
“I mean, they gave us six cookies,” Tanner said. “It’s bad luck not to read the fortunes and read the cookies on the day you get them.”
It was a silly superstition, but I’d always found it endearing.
Daria cracked her second cookie open in response, and read aloud. “If you want the rainbow, you have to tolerate the rain. In bed.” She wrinkled her nose, but her amusement didn’t vanish. “Not sure I’m into that.”
“You’re not sure?” Tanner asked.
She twisted her mouth and stared at him. “Correction. I’m definitely not into that. Unless we’re talking real rain, but not in bed. More like kisses in the rain…” She cleared her throat. “Anyway, Colin’s up.”
She looked so adorable—flushed and having fun. No wonder Tanner was spending so much time watching her tonight.
I retrieved my fortune. “The best way to get rid of an enemy is to make a friend. In bed. If orgasms are involved, I could totally see that.”
“The right orgasm would make an eternal friend out of me,” Daria said. “But it would have to be one hell of an orgasm.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Did Tanner’s voice just drop an octave?
My jealousy surged, and I swallowed it. “Your turn.”
Tanner cracked open the last cookie. “Be passionate and totally worth the chaos. In bed. Truer words were never spoken.”
“And I assume few things are more chaotic in bed than adding extra people.” Why the fuck did I say that?
Tanner nodded. “True. True.”
Daria pursed her lips and raised her brows. “Done that a lot, have you? Added extra peoplein bed?”
“A few times.” Tanner was unfazed.
I’d heard these stories and wasn’t in the mood to listen again, but I brought up the topic and Daria looked curious. “As long as there’s no inappropriate touching, am I right?” I was just setting myself up for a hard fall.
Daria leaned in, elbows on her knees, pressing her breasts together and giving me a view I definitely shouldn’t be staring at and absolutely couldn’t pull my gaze from. “Beyond consent, where do you draw anappropriateline in an orgy?” she asked.
“I didn’t participate in the orgies, and when we’re talking threesomes, if there’s another guy there it’s because she wanted it, and that’s fine. I’m there for her.” Of course he was. Good old Tanner, the ladies’ man.
“In other words,inappropriatemeans no making out with the other guy.” I tried so hard to keep the bitterness from my voice.
Daria’s wince told me I hadn’t succeeded. “Wait,” she said. “You’re telling me all that fucking, and it was one-hundred percent straight affair for you. You’ve never even kissed another man.”
I didn’t want to hear his answer, because as much as I wanted to pretend I didn’t care, it would hurt more to know he’d experimented with another guy than believing he’d never considered it.
Tanner shook his head. “Balls touch in a threesome”—he said it as casually asdo you need milk from the store—“but no, never with another guy. Not even kissing.”
