“I thought you were okay with that?” A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
“I was.” Uncomfortable, I ran a hand through my hair. “I am, but it bothered me a little bit. Maybe I was good back then, but now I don’t fucking know. I’m not mad. It’s just, I think about it sometimes. And then you walked in and saw her naked at my house and it made me remember that you’ve had sex with her, too.”
“Fuck.” Sid looked miserable. “I don’t feel anything for Lacey. I love Kaylie. I’m just not interested in other women. There’s really no room. It’s only Kay.”
Fuck, I shouldn’t have said anything. “I know. It’s weird. I’m sorry I brought it up.”
“No, let me tell you, bro. So that you understand. That night, when we were all together, it felt good. It was probably the best time we’d had with another woman.” He scrubbed a hand down his face.”I feel guilty even talking about it now, but it was way before I even thought there ever was a possibility to be with Kaylie.”
I really didn’t want to hear this. I was going to stop him, but he waved me off.
“Then that night we saw her at that club. I wanted to see if I could feel that again. To capture that magic. I was feeling down about myself, I guess. The sex was good. I mean, it felt good. It was great, but there was no connection. It felt meaningless. Kind of hollow. I don’t think she felt any spark, either. Dude, if you’ve ever felt the difference, you’d know. Sex with Kaylie is way different. There’s this—“
I punched his arm to shut him up. “Ugh. I don’t want to hear about you and Kaylie.”
“Sorry.” He grinned unrepentantly at me. “I was actually shocked that there was no romantic connection between us, but I was happy that we remained friends after. I’ve gotten to know her even better since then and she’s a really great girl.”
Lacey was amazing; he didn’t have to tell me that.
He raised his brows. “I do want to hear about what the hell she was wearing — that jewelry. She was smoking hot. I’d like to see my wife with that get up on. Especially while she’s still breastfeeding.”
“Fuck, Sid! You are killing me. That’s my sister you’re talking about. And my girl—“ I was going to say girlfriend, but I stopped myself. “And Lacey. I thought you weren’t interested in other women like that?”
He smirked. “I’m not interested in her, but I have eyes in my head, dude.”
I shook my head. “How is everything after, you know, marriage and babies? It must change.”
“Well, I’m not spending Saturday mornings fucking her brains out.” He gave me a sly glance. “Because of the boys, but you know how kids are. They expand your love. It’s amazing. I’m the luckiest man in the whole goddamn world and sometimes I wonder, why me? How did I get so lucky?”
Good thing our conversation was put to an end when Knox and Ryder strolled over. It was getting too sappy.
“What are we gossiping about, girls?” Ryder asked.
Sid chuckled. “Bash’s love life.”
Knox raised a brow. “Oh, do tell, mate. Anything interesting?”
That night, when Lacey came over, I fucked the hell out of her. I used every secret bit of knowledge about her body and everything in my sex arsenal to make sure she was more than satisfied. If I held on to her a little too tightly or clung to her like a needy freak, she didn’t mention it.
In fact, at her suggestion, we’d even tried cock warming again. It failed in spectacular fashion but ended in orgasms all-around and a few laughs, so not a bad way to end the night.
Then we spent the next day with Kody and she seemed happy to be spending time with us. Kody was delighted with the big-boy bike she gave him for his birthday and she listened to him tell her all about his birthday party at the trampoline park.
She didn’t offer to tell me much about her mother’s wedding and I didn’t push. She stayed until Sunday morning when she left bright and early before Kody woke up. I asked her to stay for the day, but she declined, saying that she didn’t want to confuse Kody.
Kody was probably far less confused than I was. She’d come back from Barbados and we’d resumed our friends-with-kink-benefits like nothing had changed between us. Maybe I was the only one who was changing?
We did our scenes, and she got her kinks satisfied. I just loved spending time with her now. I was supremely happy when I was with her, but I was not happy with our relationship status. Was I just being used like a kinky sex toy? She never mentioned the weekend getaway Christmas gift that I’d been so excited about, but she was wearing the necklace I’d bought her and I clung to that.
We were still seeing each other, even if she didn’t call it dating, and I was determined more than ever to show her that we could be more than great sex.
Chapter 26
Lacey
“I’m not sure most friends, even those without benefits, would agree to this, Lacey.”
We were stopped at a red light in a busy intersection just outside of Hollywood; Bash was behind the wheel.
