“Yep.” I smile.

Lottie pumps her fist in the air. “Yes, Linc owes me a weekend spa. I totally called this.”

Now it’s my turn to look shocked. “What? How?”

Lottie finishes her drink and rolls her eyes. “Oh please, it was obvious the sexual tension between you three was on fire.”

“Was it good?” Audrey leans into me lowering her voice.

“I had no idea a body could receive so much pleasure and not pass out. I swear it was mind-blowing.”

“And did they fuck too?” Audrey isn’t shy, she owns a sex club after all, so asking this question seems normal for her.

“Yep. Honestly, I’ve never seen anything so hot.”

Lottie licks her lips. “Yeah, I bet.”

“So you and Beck? What does this mean for you two? Are you going to do it again or was it a one-time thing?” Audrey lifts her hand to the waiter who comes over instantly. “Can we get some more drinks and a platter of pancakes and fruit with a side of bacon?”

It’s what we always order, it’s the reason we come here. Their buttermilk pancakes with fresh blueberry syrup are the things dreams are made of. I wait until the waiter is gone before I answer her. “We’re going to give a relationship with all three of us a try. I really like Xander. He’s sweet and kind and funny and he makes me feel like I’m beautiful.”

Lottie grips my hand. “You are beautiful, Amelia. Your ex was an asshole. You did the right thing kicking him to the curb.”

I only told my girls the basics about Lance, which was that he’d cheated on me with my only friend in London and then sent an email around my work that I cheated on him. It was shit and affected me more than I’d ever care to admit, but this might restore my faith in relationships.

“Thank you.”

“I still think you should tell Beck what he did to you or at least let Ryker hack his socials and fuck his life up.”

I laugh but it has less humor than before. “I don’t want Beck getting in trouble because of me. You know how overprotective he gets. I wouldn’t put it past him to get on a flight to the UK and throat-punch Lance.”

“He does have quite the temper when it comes to you, but maybe that’s because he loves you.” Audrey punctuates her remark with an ‘I told you so’ look as she rolls her hand. “But anyway, carry on. You were saying….”

“Yeah, so we’re giving it a go as a throuple, or whatever. The only thing is Xander can’t be seen with Beck openly because of his contract. So this is all hush-hush.”

Lottie’s face falls. “That sucks for you, and Beck especially. I’m assuming you can be open with Xander?”

“Yeah, it does. I can be seen with him but they have this clause that Xander can’t be seen doing anything not mainstream as it might upset the fans and affect the franchise. It could cost him his career.”

“Wow, that sucks. How does Beck feel about it?”

I purse my lips thinking back to last night when we were talking and how Beck reacted. He’d been pretty quiet and closed off in his reaction. “I’m not sure. He didn’t say a lot and we haven’t really had time to talk one on one.”

Our food arrives and we tuck in. I’m famished after last night and a tiny smile creeps over my face at the reason. We eat in silence for a few minutes, just moans of pleasure coming from our lips at the calorific delights.

“So who’s better? Xander or Beck?”

“Audrey!” Lottie exclaims as I choke on a bite of pancake, and have to take a swig of my drink to wash it down.

“You made her choke with your outrageous question.”

Audrey rolls her eyes at Lottie. “What, you were thinking it too.”

“Was not.”

“Lies.”

“Children.” I snap and they go silent before Audrey pokes her tongue out and Lottie laughs at her. I love how close these two are and the friendship that the four of us, including Norrie, have. “I actually wanted advice about that.”
