“What do you mean, what should you take? It’s your honeymoon Elaine, do you really plan on wearing clothes?” was my jest. My hand grabbed a silk teddy and folded it. Unable to stop her laughter, she playfully slapped me with the t-shirt in her hand.

“Look at you, Little Miss Modest! Talking like you know!”

A blush spread hotly over my face then, toes curling. Because Elaine thought I was still a virgin, it was one of her favorite subjects. She thought I’d never been touched, reading about dreamy romances through books.

And my friend kept going with no idea of the changed circumstances.

“Since when would you know anything about being naked with a man for a whole week?” she jived.

Thankfully, I was able to shield my nervous embarrassment by pretending to dig through some random clothes.

“I’m just saying, it’s your honeymoon. Most people spend the whole time in their hotel rooms,” was my mumble.

Elaine shot me another weird look and I quickly added, “Or so I’ve heard.”

Neither of us said anything for a moment as the blonde stared at me oddly. My hand suddenly found something interesting in the carpet and I looked down, fidgeting. But the moment passed, and Elaine hauled a pile of clothes into her lap, busy sorting before speaking again.

“So, where have you been? I haven’t seen you for a while.”

Her eyes were studiously careless, flipping clothes right and left.

“I …” But before being able to say where I’d been or who I’d been spending time with, the woman interrupted again.

“Ooh, I almost forgot to tell you, Bernard called asking about you. You remember Bernard? Bobby’s co-worker from City Hall. A tire around his midsection, but it’s just a small tire, not a big one. He’s a press secretary for some higher-up, one of those up-and-coming political types. Do you want me to …?”

But the minute she said Bernard’s name I knew I couldn’t let her finish that sentence.

“I’ve been spending time with Bobby’s friends from New York,” came my blurted reply.

Elaine paused for a moment, confused.

“Really?” she said disbelievingly. “Really? Well that’s … unexpected, to say the least. I didn’t even see you talking to Mason, Kane and Tyler at the wedding. How did you guys come to hang out?” she asked, brows lowered in confusion.

And the motormouth in me started then. Was it so weird that three alpha billionaires could be interested in a curvy girl like me? The story came pouring in waves as I blabbered endlessly, telling all.

“It’s been amazing. I know I’m not the prettiest girl in town, but these guys adore me. They constantly tell me how beautiful I am.” I was hesitant to tell her about the three of us together, but Elaine was my best friend, so I took a deep breath before spilling the beans.

“I gave them my virginity, Elaine. It was wonderful. They treated me so special. Every time I’m with them they never let me forget that. Plus, you’ll never believe this, but they want to set up the non-profit I’ve always dreamed of. Can you believe it?”

The smile on my face was tremulous as I waited for my friend to respond. The blonde’s usually supportive when good things happen. Surely, she would be happy for me. But unfortunately, Elaine’s demeanor indicated otherwise.

There was a silent pause as my buddy chose her words carefully.

“You know they just used you right, Katie?” She shot a pitying look my way and then shook her head again. “You do know that, right?”

I gasped. I hadn’t expected her to completely understand, but still, this was unexpected.

“What are you talking about?” Hurt lanced through my words.

“Bobby told me about them.” Elaine shifted her position on the floor so she was facing me, heaving a deep breath.

“They’ve done this kind of thing for a long time, since high school. They gangbang some girl, use all of her holes, use her like their own personal doll. They make her believe she’s ‘fallen in love,’” Elaine said with air quotes.

What? What the hell? Tears formed in my eyes as I tried to process what Elaine was saying. Could it be true? My lip trembled as I listened mutely.

“Yeah, they get girls to ‘fall in love,’” Elaine stated again with those damned air quotes. “Then they up and leave. Once Mason, Kane and Tyler have their fun, they wrap it up and then presto whammo! It’s a disappearing act. There are parting gifts alright. Money, jewelry, a car or maybe even an apartment, so it’s not like she’s poor. She gets something too, like an exchange.”

Elaine made it sound like a business transaction. But my friend threw me another pitying look then.
