“You definitely aren’t suffering from a lack of men. You owe it to us to share the wealth, if only through anupdate.”
“No update,” shesaid.
“You still haven’t slept with either of them?” Karen reached for one of the mushrooms Nina had stuffed with panko, herbs, and bread crumbs and popped it into her mouth. She closed her eyes. “Oh my god… this might be even better thansex.”
“I’m glad you approve,” Nina said. She’d been enjoying cooking in her tiny kitchen, trying out new recipes, using ingredients Peter hadn’tliked.
“So?” Karen prompted. “What’s theword?”
“Nothing,” Nina said. “Although I have a feeling that’s about tochange.”
“Do tell,” Moira said. “I can’t relate to the man part but I can definitely relate to the orgasmpart.”
Nina still had to fight against residual embarrassment when they got on the topic of sex. She’d never had the kind of friendships where it had been such an open — and graphic —topic.
“It’s just not sustainable,” Ninasaid.
“In what way?” Robinasked.
Nina hesitated. “We’re kind of at the point — with both of them, and I can’t believe I’m saying that — where it’s either going to evolve or it’s going tofizzle.”
“It’s not going to fizzle with Jack until he gets you between the sheets,” Amysaid.
“We don’t know he’ll blow Nina off after he sleeps with her!” Robinsaid.
“That’s true.” Amy looked at Nina. “Sorry,Neen.”
“It’s fine. It’s possible he will blow me off — I know his reputation — but I’m almost at the point where I don’t care. I can’t take the tensionanymore.”
“Sounds yummy,” Karenpurred.
“It’s torture,” Nina said. “Like being tipped back in the dentist chair waiting for a rootcanal.”
“I doubt sex with Jack Morgan will be anything like a root canal,” Moirasaid.
“You never know,” Amy saiddrily.
“See? That’s what I’m talking about,” Nina said. “It’s his reputation that’s killing me, not knowing what it’ll be like when it happens, not knowing if I’ll like it or if he’ll want to do something I’m not upfor.”
“What wouldn’t you be up for?” Karen asked. “Like, what’s your line in the sand? Bondage?Anal?”
Robina laughed and shook her head. “You’reunbelievable.”
Karen looked at her. “What? I’m justasking.”
“I don’t even know.” It’s not like Nina hadn’t thought about it. She’d even done a little digging on the rumors about Jack’s sexual predilections. “I promised myself I’d be open to… well, to anything. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t scare the shit out ofme.”
“Totally understandable,” Robin said. “There’s a lot of weird shit outthere.”
Just hearing Robin say it sent a fresh bout of nervousness through Nina’sstomach.
“What about Liam?” Moiraasked.
“It’s different,” Nina said. “Not unbearable because I’m scared or because I don’t know what toexpect.”
“Then what?” She looked at Moira. “The gazpacho’samazing.”
Moirasmiled.
