“Fuck!”
The vibrations seemed to pierce her, overwhelming her, and she pulled the vibrator away as she panted for breath. Her pussy clenched emptily, hungrily, as the pulses of pleasure continued, even without direct stimulation. Closing her eyes, she clenched her jaw and let her body shudder out the last trickles of pleasure, picturing Rick’s gorgeously scruffy face and piercing blue eyes in her mind as she did so.
Work was stupidly busy for a Monday, only because two of her servers had called out sick and Maria had made the executive decision not to call anyone else in to cover them. After all, Mondays weren’t exactly the busiest day of the week, especially for lunches, and they usually ended up sending at least one person home anyway. Of course, since she didn’t have the extra coverage, this Monday had ended up being the exception to the rule. That meant she spent her time on the floor, lending the servers who were there a helping hand, jumping in as a food runner when the expo line became backed up, and clearing off tables alongside the busboys.
As did everyone else. That was one thing about working in a restaurant, everyone had to pitch in to every job when they got slammed, or it wouldn’t work. Occasionally a new server to Murphy’s would make the mistake of saying “that’s not my job.” They usually got fired on the spot or at the end of the shift. That kind of attitude wasn’t acceptable—for any job, really, as far as Maria was concerned. It always astounded her when some servers thought busing tables was somehow beneath them. If the table wasn’t bused, they didn’t get a new one, and if they didn’t get a new one, they didn’t make money. So it wasn’t even logical.
Fortunately, no one like that was currently working at Murphy’s, so the shift went as smoothly as possible even though there were some stressful moments.
“Bye Maria. Thanks for the help.” Juliet, one of their servers, waved at Maria on her way out of the door. She was grinning. Mostly because Juliet liked being super busy. Normally she hated working Monday lunches because they were so slow.
“Bye, see you tomorrow,” Maria said, waving back.
By the time Maria finally left, she was relieved. She liked being busy too, rather than being slow and bored, but she didn’t thrive on stressful shifts the way Juliet did. Less busy today would have been better.
Checking her phone, she saw she had a missed call and a text from Jackie. Her sister didn’t like to leave voicemails.
Call me! =)
Putting the phone back in her purse, Maria got herself home and poured herself a glass of wine before settling in on the couch and took the phone back out again. It was hard to relax when she knew Rick was right downstairs; she had to fight the urge to go knock on his door.
Instead, Maria picked up her phone, pulled up Jackie’s number under her contacts and swiped to call.
“Well helloooo darling, you took your time calling me back!”
Maria rolled her eyes. “I was at work, dumbass, what’s up?”
“What are you doing this Saturday? Are you working in the evening?”
“Nope, I’m free.” Hopefully a statement she wouldn’t regret. But she knew it didn’t really matter what Jackie wanted, her sister would talk her into it no matter what.
“Good! We need a sister night. It’s been too long since we’ve all gotten together.”
“Just sisters at this one?” Maria asked, trying to keep the wistfulness out of her voice. The last time it had been a ‘sister’ night, all of them had brought their significant others. Which was great for them, and they’d all made sure to include Maria, but it just wasn’t the same with the guys there. For one, it was hard to gossip about them when they were present. There was always a difference in dynamic when men and women were in one place together and when it was just women, whether they were sisters or not.
“Just sisters at this one, I promise,” Jackie said, cheerfully cajoling. “You know you’re going to say yes anyway, so just say yes. You’re the only one I haven’t talked to. Ava and Lara are both in.”
“Well then yes, of course, you nag,” Maria said, laughing. She didn’t doubt her other sisters were in, when Jackie decided to organize something she could be unstoppable. Maria was the only one who was ever able to reign her in to any degree, usually by pulling the older sister card, and in this case, she didn’t really want to. Sure she’d been thinking recently about how nice it would be to have some female friends who weren’t her sisters, but that didn’t mean she wanted to replace them. She just wanted to have friends outside her family to talk to, like she had with Rick’s female friends at Stronghold.
“Good. And we’re expecting you to bring the juicy gossip, as the only single one...”
“Oh no,” Maria said, groaning as she sank back against the couch. “Please don’t tell me you told them about Rick.”
Jackie laughed. “Of course I told them about Rick! But don’t worry, I didn’t mention he might like to do something freaky to you—you know how Ava is. By the way... now that you bring it up,” she said in a sly, coaxing tone of voice. “Did you ever find out exactly what kind of freaky thing he wants to do to you?”
“Um...” Maria’s mind went blank as she groped for words. To tell the truth? Not to tell the truth? Jackie was pretty open-minded—obviously since her husband apparently had a bit of a foot fetish—but how open-minded was she really? And if Maria was going to lie, what lie to tell? Of course, now that she’d hesitated, she couldn’t just say she didn’t know. Dammit.
“Oooo!” Jackie obviously smelled dirt from the excited squeal in her voice. She was probably bouncing up and down with excitement. Not just because she wanted Maria to find a man and join the married state of the sisters, but because girl loved gossip. “You did find out! What is it? Is it awful?”
From the enthusiasm in Jackie’s voice, it almost sounded like she hoped it was something awful. Maria had to laugh at her sister’s silliness.
“I guess it depends on your point of view...” she said slowly, drawing out the moment as she took a sip of wine. Might as well have some fun being dramatic about it. Better than being super serious about it, which might tip her sister off there was more going on than Maria was going to tell her. Not that Maria really knew how to explain everything Rick wanted from a relationship, so she just went for the simple, short explanation. “He’s into spanking.”
There was a long pause, which made Maria shift nervously. She hadn’t realized how much her sister’s reaction would mean to her until just this moment. If Jackie was completely against it, would she be able to talk Maria completely out of trying anything with Rick? Even if Maria was starting to think she really might want to try?
“Giving or receiving?”
Suddenly Maria wished she and Jackie were having this conversation in person, even though she was blushing up a storm, because she really couldn’t tell what her sister was thinking. There was nothing in Jackie’s voice to even give her a little hint.
