“That’s the whole idea.” Paige’s wicked grin reminds me of Thor last night.
When Kenzie comes back to the table, her cheeks are flushed. Her ass is barely on the chair when her phone vibrates again. “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.”
Paige snorts. “Off you go.”
Without another word, Kenzie trudges back to my bedroom grumbling about how much she hates Austin.
“I’m really going to tattle to him if you keep complaining.” Paige grins as she calls out to Kenzie’s back.
My eyes widen. “You wouldn’t.”
She jerks her chin at the door Kenzie just closed. “Part of her probably even wants me to.”
Kenzie pulls the door open, pointing a finger at us. “I feel like there’s more to the Thor thing than just boundless orgasms. So wait for me to get done before you tell.”
Nodding, I can’t help but laugh. She’s probably so twisted up and blinded by lust right now, and yet she still wants all my dirty Thor gossip.
It doesn’t take long for her to come back to the table. I guess the more you edge, the closer to orgasm you are all the freakin’ time. Kinda sounds like fun.
“Spill.”
I avoid looking at either of them while cradling my empty wine glass. I could absolutely get used to this day-drinking-with-the-girls thing. Especially if we all go our separate ways and get off periodically. That’s some R&R time I could totally get behind.
Paige nudges my hand. “We can’t help if we don’t know what’s going on.”
“I don’t know that it’s my place to gossip.”
At that, my friends turn toward each other, stunned. We always gossip, it’s what we do. Before I changed the group chat to Sub Club, it was Gossip Girls. But this is different.
I don’t know whether Thor plans to keep Matthew a secret for a while until he finds his feet. That’s not fair, I don’t mean a secret, I just mean to himself. I don’t know if he’s a private person or if the world knows his business. And even if the world knows his business, does he want them to know this part of his business?
I don’t know. But this is burning a hole in my stomach keeping it all to myself. “He has a child.”
Paige literally sprays her drink at me. “What the hell? You can’t be serious.”
I tell them the story of how Matthew arrived at the door, with all his things scattered around his feet. “So he’s just had this huge, terrifying thing dropped on him, and I can’t be a part of any of that.” I gesture my hand toward the front door like Thor drama is lingering right outside it. “Even if I want to see him again. And believe me, I most definitely want to see his tongue again... and his dick... but... I can’t.”
Paige stacks some boxes on top of each other, clearing space so she can pace. But it’s Mackenzie who asks the first question. “Why can’t you see him again?”
It’s Paige who answers for me. “She doesn’t do kids.”
I’ve never said it out loud to my friends before. But it tracks that Paige has noticed a pattern, she’s observant as fuck.
“Every time she comes up against a single dad, she flees like he loves Star Wars instead of Star Trek.”
Kenzie laughs. “I don’t think Austin knows what either of those are.”
“You want to tell us your deal with the crotch goblins?”
I don’t. But I’m not sure I’m going to have the chance to escape. Staring at Kenzie’s phone, I will Austin to send her another message ordering her to my bedroom.
“You can tell us anything.”
“You say that...” I reach for the wine bottle, but it’s empty. Kenzie is already on her feet and stepping into the kitchen. When she comes back, she cracks the seal on the second bottle and pours us all another round.
“Don’t either of you have to work today?” I take a sip of the crisp, citrus white that explodes on my tongue.
They both shake their heads.
