“Why didn’t you tell me that?”

I blushed. “Because…because he went down on me!”

Keiana knew my track record with jerky men who refused to do oral. Men were such babies sometimes. She smiled at me. “Really?”

I nodded. “And damn, Kei, it was so good. Like I had to put my hands over my mouth so his sister and roommate couldn’t hear me moaning.”

She barked out a laugh. “Oh, my God! Must have been good if you’re swearing.”

I kicked her playfully with my foot. I didn’t really swear, mostly force of habit from my upbringing. People thought it was so ‘adorable’ when I swore. “Don’t make fun of me!”

“Did you return the favor?”

I shook my head. “He…” I trailed off and made the universal sign for jacking off. “Is that weird?”

“Did you think it was weird?”

I tapped my fingernail against my lips. “No, it was nice. It made me think he was enjoying it so much he couldn’t help himself. Like eating me out made him so horny, he couldn’t contain it, and he had to come with me.”

“How did you feel after?”

The words flew out of my mouth before I could stop them. “Good…but kind of annoyed because I wanted to suck his dick!”

Keiana’s mouth hung open, and I clamped a hand over my mouth. I hadn’t meant to say what I was thinking out loud. We dissolved into laughter because it was the first time I was open with her about something sexual. Normally, I tried to shut down the topic altogether.

She stood up from the bed and went over to my closet. “Where is he taking you tonight?”

“A speakeasy.”

“The one in Chinatown?” she asked as she flipped through my hangers.

“Nah, the one near Rittenhouse Square.”

“Nice. For dinner? I don’t think they have food there.”

I shook my head. “Nah, I ate when I got home from work. That’s why we’re not meeting until eight.”

“Wear the sexy thigh-high boots, your long-sleeve black sweater, and that cute gray plaid skirt,” she said. She took the clothes out of my closet and laid them on the bed.

I eyed my boots lying on the floor next to the door. “You know, I think he really likes the boots.”

“Yeah?”

I nodded. “He gets a weird look in his eye whenever I wear them.”

She laughed. “He’s probably thinking of fucking you in them.”

“Perv!”

“You love me!”

“I do. Thanks, Kei.”

She came over to me and gave me a big hug. “I’m proud of you for being open and honest with me tonight. I don’t want you to feel like we can’t talk about these things. We can, anytime you want, and you know I believe in the judgment-free zone. Are you gonna invite TJ in tonight?”

I shrugged. “We’ll see how the night goes. I don’t know if I earned it yet.”

She laughed. “I gotta jet, but have fun tonight!”
