Instead, I wait until I’ve found a spot in Nocté’s lot to dare a glance. After a few deep breaths, I flick open my phone and tap the messages app. Then, like a coward, I hover over her name, praying it’s good news.
When I’ve gathered my courage, I tap on it.
I’m in.
Relief, exhilaration, joy. They all mix and I drop my phone onto my lap and my head to my headrest.
She’s gonna do it.
Hell,yes!
Now, we just need to figure out how to make this work.
CHAPTER12
Lily
My brain has been consumed with ideas for how we could create an incredible experience for Nocté’s Upper Tier.
Truthfully, it’s crazy, but I’ve been buzzing since I heard about the assignment. The mere idea of it has sparked my creativity and excitement in a way I haven’t felt for a really long time.
Maybe ever.
I mean, there aren’t many events like this one, that’s for sure.
It’s a bit taboo, a little bit secretive …and totally enthralling.We’re creating something for a group no one really knows exists.
How freaking cool is that?
It’s like a secret society—right here in the Twin Ports.
My only hesitation remains anchored to what Seth might think. He’s never been much for sex—or even interested in trying anything new. Our love life has been as vanilla as it comes—and that’s only when we’ve indulged.
It’s just never been a high priority for him. His thing has always been travel and for a while, I really loved that about him.
But after years of coming in second and feeling like my needs have never really been met, I don’t know how to approach the subject. As it is, I’ve never even told him about the Dirty B’s book club. I didn’t know how to bring it up and I highly doubt he’d care to even know about it since it has nothing to do with breathtaking views and hidden locations.
However, I have a feeling that if he found out I’m going to be working an event for a sex club, he’d still have a heart attack.
At least, that’s the story I’ve been telling myself.
Then Tasia called and helped me work through it. I was able to see this has nothing to do with him. This isbusinessand I’m a big girl.
Seth doesn’t tell me the ins and outs of his job. So why do I feel like I should be doing it for him? It’s not like I’mparticipatingin the event. I’m just planning and executing it.
Granted, there’s theslightissue of London.
I’ve mentioned him in passing to Seth, but he was always in the context of a distant childhood memory. There was no mention of the sexy, adult version he’s become because I had no idea. Now that he’s here, in my present, itfeelsdifferent somehow.
As much as my logical mind knows he’smy friend, there’s this crazy part of me that stirs awake whenever he’s around. I blame it on my dormant sex life and the fact that I’ve been alone more than with Seth in the past year.
Even knowing all of that, I can’t seem to find the strength to stay away from London and this world he’s surrounded himself in.
Something in me needs this. I can’t explain why.
I pull into the Nocté parking lot and kill the engine on my Rav-4.
It’s been a while since I was in Superior. Hell, other than a few days ago, it was probably when I turned twenty-one and went bar-hopping downtown.
