Kiara’s eyes turn into saucers. “You’re shitting me.”

I shake my head just as the waiter brings us another round of drinks. “I’m afraid not.”

“Damn, you should have called me; I would have kicked his ass. That fucking, lying piece of shit!”

“I didn’t let him off the hook easily,” I tell her everything that had happened as we sip on our margaritas. The drink is so strong my head is already spinning, so I’m grateful when the waiter brings out our tacos. The spicy smell has my stomach grumbling, reminding me I haven’t eaten all day.

“It’s the least he deserved,” I finish, munching on my taco.

“I still think you should have kicked him in the balls before leaving. Good riddance.”

“Maybe.” I put my taco down on my plate. “I can’t believe I let him drag me along for so long. Eight years, Kiara! I’ve been dating him for eight years. I should have dumped his ass when he brushed me off the first time I mentioned marriage. He knew how much I wanted a family and kids. Now what?”

“Now, you’ll find another guy. A better guy. Somebody who’ll treat you right.” She nudges me with her foot. “Don’t think I forgot about the other bomb you dropped. Your neighborandone of the volunteers at the center? Who are you, and what did you do with my best friend?”

“I have no idea,” I shake my head, grabbing my drink. “I can’t even blame it on the alcohol. I was buzzed, sure, but not full-on drunk. It’s just…”

“It’s just…” she urges me on, brow quirked.

“He was there. I didn’t even realize how much I missed it until it happened. He listened to me and made me feel like I mattered, and then there was the way he looked at me.”

“Do tell.”

I glare at her. “Don’t tease me.”

“I’m not teasing. I genuinely want to know. I don’t remember the last time I saw you, so…” Kiara tilts her head as if she’s looking for the right words. “So charmed by somebody, I guess. Besides, you needed some good fucking.”

“Kiara!” I chastise.

“What? You did. We both know John was a lousy lay. That guy couldn’t make you come even when you drew him a map to your treasure spot.”

“Treasure spot?” I frown. “Are you for real?”

Kiara waves me off. “Focus, that’s beside the point. How was the sex?”

“It was…” I graze my teeth over my lower lip as Quinn’s commanding voice rings in my mind, loud and clear.

Sit on my face, Vanessa. I want to make you come before I bury myself so deep inside you that you won’t remember anything else that happened today.

“Damn, girl,” Kiara fans herself, lifting her cup to her lips. “If I can base it on the look on your face right this moment, it was hot as fuck.”

Somebody sucks in a breath.

“Kiara!” I hiss, my cheeks heating.

“What? Don’t mind the prudes; tell me more!”

“I’m not telling you anything.”

“Well, at least tell me if you’re doing it again?”

Doing it again? Is she crazy?

“I snuck out of his apartment so I didn’t have to face what I did. He’s not only my neighbor, Kiara,” I remind her.Remind myself.“He’s way too young for me, and he volunteers at the community center!”

Kiara’s brows shoot up. “How young are we talking here?”

“He just finished college, so young enough.”
