“Good. It’ll make this easier.” His hand is creeping under again. This time, something cool and hard grazes my flesh, and I realize instantly it’s his bucket ball prize. My pulse kicks up a notch as he gently pushes the tip into my sex. At least he chose that spot.

“When did you get that out of the packaging?”

“While you were ogling Margo. I told you we’d use it tonight.”

Yes, but I wasn’t expecting it so soon. “Until when?”

“UntilIdecide to take it out.” His teeth scrape across my earlobe, sending a tremble down my spine.

I turn and try to catch his lips with mine, but he pulls away before I can.

A man in a lion tamer’s costume has moved in beside us that I hadn’t noticed before, his red jacket parted to show off a smooth, muscular chest beneath. He wears black-and-white-striped pants, and a coiled black whip rests on his hip. His mime-like mask has claw marks painted across its cheek, complete with blood trickles.

He leans in. “I’ll have you know, I’ve seen twovery sexybearded ladies so far.”

My mouth drops. But of course, there’s no way to hide from Merrick either. He chose our costumes. “This one is more my style.”

Behind his mask, his blue eyes drop on my cleavage. “I’m glad you like it.”

The couples have changed positions—and sexual acts.

“I’m bored.” Merrick nudges Henry with his elbow. “I’ll see you guys in the Fun House.” With that, he strolls away.

“What’s in the Fun House?” And, more importantly, what would interest Merrick more than this?

Henry smiles. “Lots of fun things.”

“Such as?”

“You’ll see when you get there.”

I tap my foot with annoyance, my gaze drifting in the direction where Merrick just left. “What’s the story with him?”

“No story.”

“You said earlier there was a story.”

“Really?Thisis happening”—he juts his chin toward the two women contorted at impossible angles, their mouths fixed between the other’s legs—“and you’d rather talk about Merrick and me?”

“Yes.” I spin around to press my chest against his, my arms tightening around him. The smooth silver toy he slid into me shifts with the movement. It feels somewhat awkward, but it’s not intended to go there. “Because I’m completely obsessed withyou, didn’t you know that already?”

He leads me away from the crowd. “What do you want to know?”

“You said you twodidn’thook up but …” I let the question linger in the air.

“Things got a bit out of hand once,” he admits.

I knew it. “And what exactly is ‘out of hand’ for you?” Because Henry’s threshold for sexual acts would set fire to Reverend Enderbey’s pulpit.

“We fucked a woman together.”

“You’ve done that before.” Several times, apparently, much to my chagrin.

“Not like that. Let’s say it was areallytight fit.”

My mouth makes anOhshape as I picture that scenario. “You mean, like, the two of you, like …together.” I hold my index and middle finger in the air, pressed together. “Notlike you and me and Ronan.”

“Not like that night, no.” Something unreadable flickers in Henry’s eyes as he watches me closely. “I don’t crave dick. Merrick sometimes does. I knew that and I pushed for it, anyway.”
