BETH
Cassandra pokes her head in my office. “I’m having lunch with Darian’s girls today. Why don’t you join us? I think Jade is coming too.”
“It’s nice that you do that. You’re so involved in their lives.”
She shrugs. “I didn’t have my kids until I was fifty-one. Harley, Reagan, and Skylar have always felt like my own. I love them as if they are. I was always heavily involved in their lives, but when Scott passed and Darian wasn’t functional, they really needed me. He’s been gone for over a decade now. Sometimes it’s hard to believe.”
“It’s great that they have you. I’d love to come.”
We walk into a nice restaurant. Harley, Reagan, Skylar, and Jade are already there. Harley and Jade are drinking what appears to be lemon drop martinis. Reagan and Skylar are sticking with water.
They all smile as we sit. Reagan says, “Aunt Cass, we ordered you vodka. Beth, we got wine for you.”
They’re so thoughtful. I look between Jade and Reagan and shake my head. “I still marvel at your resemblance. You two look like sisters, not cousins.”
Jade interrupts, “I have better legs.” She must be six feet tall, so yes, her legs are long. Reagan isn’t quite that tall, though significantly taller than me.
Reagan lets out a laugh. “It’s cool. I have a better rack.”
Jade jokingly narrows her eyes. “That’s because you’re pregnant and your tits are out of control. Normally, it’s pretty close.”
Reagan pats Jade’s head. “If that makes you feel better about it, sure.” She looks back at me but nods Jade’s way. “This bitch uses my face to get VIP entry into clubs and restaurants.”
Jade giggles. “Guilty as charged.” Reagan is well known around town. They roll out the red carpet for her everywhere she goes. We all know that Jade sometimes pretends to be her to get all the perks of being the very well-known Reagan Lawrence Daulton.
Reagan shakes her head. “I don’t think you’ve been out as much lately though. Do you have a secret boyfriend we don’t know about?”
Jade’s eyes briefly widen. She’s hiding something. “I don’t do boyfriends.”
Reagan looks at her suspiciously, clearly not believing her. I don’t believe her either, but I have no interest in pushing her on the issue.
Cassandra sips her vodka and then looks around the table. “Ladies, I brought Beth today for a reason.” She did? “She’s seeing someone with a few kinks.”
Why do I continue to tell hereverythingabout my sex life?
I elbow her. “Are we seriously discussing this at lunch with them?”
Jade lets out a laugh. “Did you find another man with a foot fetish? I hope he’stoetally hot.”
I smile as I shake my head. None of them let me live that one down.
Cassandra continues, “Not so much a fetish but a few kinks. Beth has concerns about it.”
I shake my head. “I don’t have concerns. I just asked you if it’s normal.”
She nods. “I told herlotsof people have kinks. Way more than she realizes. Would you all care to share? I don’t know about Jade, but I know the rest of you keep things pretty spicy.”
They’re all silent. I turn to Cassandra. “They don’t want to share. It’s fine. Let’s move on.”
Reagan shrugs. “I don’t care if you know. Carter and I like to have sex in front of people. We do it all the time.”
My mouth drops in shock. “People you know?”
She shakes her head. “No, not normally. Though one time Mom and Jackson almost saw us have sex.”
Harley spits her drink. “What? I didn’t know that. Tell us about it.”
“We went to a voyeur club where some people like to watch, and some people like to be watched. We’re obviously the latter. We were in a room with a one-way mirror, so we couldn’t see who was watching us. We started to get it on when Mom’s fucking voice came on the intercom shouting for us to stop. They turned on the lights in their room. I guess Mom and Jackson go there to watch people have sex. I had no clue.”
