“No,” Roxie said to Jane after dinner.Outside at the patio table, the women sat opposite the men.“I’ve seen it.”
“Are you scared?”Jane asked Zairn.
“I wake up scared every day, Jane,” he said.“That’s what being married to Lola means.”
“You’re not married yet,” Jane said, her wide smile brimming.“I can’t wait for the wedding.It will be magnificent.I’m pulling out all the stops.Roxie said carte blanche.”
“Anything you want,” Zairn said.“We want it to be perfect and this isn’t our field.”
“I promise you won’t be disappointed.It’s so exciting.”Jane grabbed Roxie’s arm but leaned toward Zairn.“She looks amazing in her dress.”
“She’ll look amazing out of it too,” Zairn said.
Roxie laughed but was quick to stroke Jane’s hair.“Don’t upset her dream.Weddings are her catnip.She will breathe in every second.”
“I’m sorry, Jane.”So smooth.The ease of Zairn’s honeyed words, the smolder with their confidence.She couldn’t look away.“I’d love to hear the details.”
That was the ticket to getting Jane going.The woman started talking so fast that it was difficult to pick one word from another.
Her phone buzzed, and she turned it over as she picked up her wine.
HOTSHOT:Feel like getting wet?
Oh, they were playing this game?She didn’t even look at him and typed a response.
FIREFLY:Uh, we’re entertaining.Don’t be rude.
HOTSHOT:The pool’s right there.I know you’re thinking about it.
FIREFLY:And how would your friends like that?
HOTSHOT:Maybe they won’t notice.
FIREFLY:Us stripping off and going at it?We’re talking about weddings and romance.Nice things.Not s3x things.
HOTSHOT:Aww, look at you censoring yourself.
FIREFLY:We’re on Huddle.
HOTSHOT:We’re on a blind server.Private to me.Run by me.You don’t think I yanked your restrictions the minute I put a face to the name?
FIREFLY:So I can call you an asshole?
HOTSHOT:If you want.And you can send me pics sans clothes.I’ll add them to my gallery of your naked and asleep pics.Will be novel to have some with your eyes open.I get a lot of requests for those.Now I can charge more.
FIREFLY:Private means I can tell you that you’re an arrogant pig who doesn’t deserve to kiss a woman’s feet, let alone slide himself into her body.
HOTSHOT:I knew you were thinking about it.After tonight, you’ll never be able to look at a swimming pool again without thinking about me fucking you.
FIREFLY:You haven’t fucked anything yet.
HOTSHOT:I’m ready to go right here.Right now.
FIREFLY:Oh, yeah?You risen to the challenge already?What do you need me for?Go screw yourself.
Peeking up from her phone, she arched a probing brow when his eyes met hers.
“Anyone else feel like they’re in a porno?”Roxie asked.
