“I’ll hold you to it,” she replies, looking sexy as hell and thoroughly fucked.
I make sure she’s safely in and her car starts before I get back into my used Audi. My credit is fucked from being locked up for so long, so I’m grateful my sister sold me her car when Carter bought her a new Mercedes.
I drive off and think about my friend. When I talked to my therapist, Anne, about all I’d been through, she suggested that I felt betrayed by Carter for hooking up with my sister, even after all he’d done for me while I was down.
Taryn sold my townhouse, and I told her to just put ten thousand away for me for expenses when I got out and she could keep the rest. She refused. I found out later she gave the remaining $190,000 to Carter and he invested it, but kept the investments in my name. I don’t know. He’s the tech guy, always blabbing on about tech and stocks and stuff. I’m the medical guy, I have no interest in that stuff. Learning the new medical tech that’s been developed since I last worked is challenging enough. That being said, I’m not touching whatever investment he made for a while. I want to pay cash for a house or at least put half down, but homes are so expensive now, that I literally almost choked when I pulled up the internet to check. Even this ten-year-old Audi would have cost about what a new one did when I went in if she hadn’t sold it to me cheaper than she had to. Still, it’s nice enough, and Taryn took good care of it.
I pull into my spot and go upstairs for a shower. I can’t go to the gym smelling like sex. It’s smelly enough in that place.
Once I’m clean, I strip the very messy sheets off the bed and toss the condom into the trash, grateful the baby batter had stayed inside of it the way it landed, and glad I’d remembered the trash can for the other two we used last night. “Gross.”
After shoving the bedding into the washer and starting it, I wash my hands at the kitchen sink and mix up my pre-workout drink, downing it as I put my fitness watch on. What a cool gadget. I’m utterly obsessed with it, and how it syncs with my phone and tells me how close I am to my daily goals. I can even track calories, protein, fat, and carbs on that thing, and I do just that after I drink the pre-workout, imputing it into the app.
Satisfied I have everything, I head to the gym, hoping I didn’t waste too much testosterone on my bedtime workout last night.
I smile when I think about Christa and can’t wait to do it again. Totally worth it.

Christa
Staring at my bestfriend, I just smirk.
“What?” Taryn asks. “Answer the question.”
I clear my throat and pick up another heart-shaped piece of wood, placing a small votive candle in the center. “Do you really want to know? I ask, as I glue on theCarter & Tarynpremade tag, and the tiny bunch of colorful flowers for her wedding favors.
She shrugs and then looks at me with her amber-colored eyes. She’s since cut her light-brown hair and it sits in a cute wolf haircut with bangs. It absolutely suits her. “I mean, it’s a yes or no question. I don’t need graphic details.” She makes a gagging noise.
I chuckle. “The answer is yes.”
Her eyes go wide. “Really? How was it?”
I purse my lips. “I thought you didn’t want details.”
“Generalize.”
