It’s cozy with a touch of romantic lure. I once tried to cuddle up next to Philip on the couch with all the lights out while we watched a movie of his choosing. He flipped on the lamp sitting on the table next to him twenty-seconds into the first scene.

“What kind of party?” She asks with a smirk.

A wild sex party where I blew Dr. Morgan’s world.

That’s part truth (the first part) with a whole lot of wishful thinking added to it.

I’m sure he’s been the recipient of many stellar blowjobs over the years. I’m curious about whether I rank in the top five, but that’s a question a woman should never ask a man, especially one who doesn’t realize she’s had her lips wrapped around his big, beautiful cock.

It was a looker, or is a looker, but the chances of me ever seeing the doctor’s dick again are slim to none.

“A fun one,” I answer with a subdued smile.

She carefully places the mask on my coffee table. “If there’s another fun party soon, you should slap that mask back on and go.”

I snuck into Club Skyn with an invitation I received more than two years ago. I doubt like hell it would get me in the door now. I’m not even sure I have the courage to revisit that place.

“I don’t think so.” I point at the pizza box. “Are you ready to eat?”

I put the pizza in the oven on a low temperature after it was delivered. I thought it would hang out there for no more thantwenty minutes, but once I started taking Pen’s measurements, we lost track of time.

Over an hour passed, before she mentioned the pizza on her way to my bedroom to change back into her white jeans and denim shirt.

Once she was out of view, I grabbed the pizza, two plates, napkins, and refilled her water glass while she was changing.

“I’m ready. I’m going to head over to Daxton’s after I eat a slice if that’s all right with you.” She smiles. “Did I tell you that he asked me for a redo of our first date? We’re going back to Atlas 22 tomorrow night.”

A smile slides over my lips. “Good. I’m really glad.”

Her gaze drops to the mask again. “Since you dumped Phil, now is the time to jump back into the fray.”

I take a seat on the couch next to the table. “I’m not ready for that leap quite yet.”

She plops down beside me, reaching for a slice of the pepperoni pie. “You do know that the best way to get over someone is to…”

“Get under someone else,” I interrupt.

“No.” She laughs. “I was going to tell you the best way to get over someone is to fuck a hot guy’s brains out.”

I laugh, too. I laugh harder than I have in a long time.

“Phil was dragging you down, Els.” She points at the pizza. “Eat up. You’re going to need to energy if you put on that mask and head to a party tonight.”

I take her advice and go for a slice, resting it on a plate. “Maybe I’ll stop by the venue tomorrow night and see if there’s a party. That’s a big maybe, though.”

It’s not a solid plan yet. It’s just an idea brewing in the deepest recesses of my mind.

“I’ll check back in on Saturday to see how sore you are.” She winks. “I’m talking sore in all the right places.”

I found courage in a few sips of a cosmopolitan the first, and only, time I went to Club Skyn. I’m not sure a half dozen shots of tequila would be enough to bury my inhibitions now, so I’d follow another man into a private room.

Penny taps my knee. “Before I forget, let’s sort out the payment for the dress.”

I want to wave it off to another time, but she’s offering right now, so I accept with a smile. “I’ll grab my phone and we can do it now.”

“Good.” She sighs. “My boss says it’s bad luck to plan too far ahead, but I know this dress is going to bring all the good things into my life. It already has. Just look at us. We’re friends. We’re good friends, right?”

It’s beginning to feel that way, so I nod. “We are.”
