“Hey, how are you?”
“Aside from spinning and sore?” I ask lightly.
“Yeah, last night was—”
“Intense?” I interrupt.
“That’s one way to describe it.”
She slumps down, allowing me to see where she is.
“Jodie Walker, are you still naked in the bed your man fucked you in last night?” I ask, faux horrified.
“Hell yeah, I am. I’m also wondering why you’re not in the exact same place with a Cirillo between your thighs.”
I can’t help but giggle like a girl at her suggestion.
“Bri,” she breathes, getting all soft and gooey at my show of affection for the man I’ve been trying to convince everyone I don’t want for months.
“He’s still sleeping. Think I wore him out.”
She scoffs at my suggestion. “Doubtful. I’ve seen that boy in action. He could go all night.”
“And I can confirm that that is true.”
“Lucky bitch,” she teases.
“Oh yeah, because you’ve got anything to complain about with your kinky man.”
“You won’t be hearing any complaints from me,” she says with a wide grin.
“Liked the new lingerie, huh?”
Christ, buying that yesterday morning seems like a lifetime ago now.
“Didn’t even get it out of the bag.”
I whistle in appreciation.
“Seriously though, Bri. Are you doing okay?”
She doesn’t need to say any more for me to know she’s talking about the guy whose carotid arteries I severed with a bottle last night.
A shudder rips through me at the memory of his warm blood spraying over my face. My stomach rolls, bile racing up my throat, but I manage to get a grip of myself before I’m forced to run to Nico’s fancy master bathroom.
“It… It was necessary.”
She nods, but I don’t miss the way she studies me closely.
“I’m okay, I promise.”
“Okay. But if that changes, I’m right here.”
“I know,” I say softly, more grateful for her support than I think she understands.
I’m not naïve, I know that what I did last night will come back to haunt me. But right now, I’m focusing on the other big change in my life—the more positive one than the one where I turned into a murderer.
That bile sloshes around in my stomach again.
