“Well actually, I’ve been using you to get another guy I was interested in.Hewas my real target, and somehow, I had this mixed-up idea that if he saw me with you, he’d want me.”
The air is still for a moment. I cringe internally, half-expecting the men to throw me out. But instead, Brad’s deep baritone breaks the silence.
“Really. Is that so?”
I nod, suddenly ashamed.
“I know it sounds crazy,” is my whispered admission as tears spring to my eyes. “But basically, it was just … I don’t even know how to explain it. This was a hare-brained scheme, and totally idiotic, now that I look back. I realized that tonight because Bruce finally asked me out, but I just wasn’t interested. I’m interested inyou. All three of you,” I say with a hitch to my words.
The air is still again, and my cheeks flame because what was I thinking? This is the worst decision I’ve ever made, and I rue the moment I texted 9-1-1 to Brad’s phone. God, if only I could re-wind the clock by half an hour. Why was I so impulsive?
I steal a peek upwards, and unfortunately, all three men have impassive expressions on their proud features. I don’t blame them. Hell, if they wanted to scream and pound the walls while hurling invectives, I wouldn’t blame them. But instead, Casey lets out a big exhale, like he’s been holding his breath underwater.
“So be straight with us, Carrie: why would hooking up with us spark this other man’s interest?”
I’m practically sobbing now.
“It’s because I saw him getting naughty with two prostitutes, so I figured he’s into naughty girls. And I wanted to prove that I’m one of those bad girls! I wanted to show that I’m fully able to be triple-X on demand, so I figured if he saw me hooking up with you guys, then that would do the trick.”
The men squint at me.
“But is he even a member of Club Z? Do we know him?”
I nod.
“He is, but that’s the thing. I didn’t even know if he was a member of Club Z when I set out to get you guys. That’s how poorly planned this was. I was just trying to recruit three men that I could have a gangbang with, and I didn’t think anything through. In fact, I don’t knowwhatI was thinking,” I wail. “This has all been a huge mistake.”
Casey’s black brows lower into a glower.
“Who is he?” he rasps. “Maybe we know this fucker.”
I wipe at my tears, sniffling pathetically.
“His name is Bruce Chapman. He’s a friend of a friend, and I met him at a dinner party about six months ago. I thought we had a connection, but now I realize that it was nothing. He’s a loser in fact, and I was really turned off when we finally went out tonight.”
The air in the apartment sizzles with electricity then.
“You went out with another man?” Brad asks in a low tone, his voice dangerous. “I thought you said he only asked you out.”
I shrug helplessly.
“He asked me out, and I went. But it was nothing, I swear! Like I said, we just talked, and … well, he’s no one,” I sniffle. “It was just drinks, and I left after twenty minutes and came straight here. It’s because I want to date you guys,” I sniffle again, hating myself for being so pathetic. Who knew it could be so difficult to bare your soul? But here I am, declaring myself and I have to say that it’s not going well in the slightest.
The men are silent for a moment, exchanging looks, but then the tension lessens somewhat.
“Bruce Chapman?” Casey muses, still exchanging looks with his friend. “From Dissidence Corporation?”
I nod, wiping at my cheeks again.
“Yeah, my friend Ramona is married to the head of Dissidence, and I guess Bruce is the CFO or something like that.”
Brad snorts then.
“Some CFO he is. Honey, you have nothing to worry about because Bruce Chapman has no idea what the fuck he’s doing. We’ve been suing both the company and him individually for a number of different violations. You’d be surprised at the crimes some folks think they’re going to get away with.”
I start then, flummoxed.
“Are you serious? For what though? I thought Bruce was a high-level executive.”
