Page 124 of Tease Me

This calls for desperate measures.

I fished in my bag for my phone and sent a text to Lolita.

Fancy rescuing Memphis again?

HA HA hell yes

Thanks. Come to my hotel, room 45 - BUT DON’T KNOCK Text me when here. And bring me a shirt please

Cryptic. YAY. B there in 20

The twenty minutes were like twenty hours, and each time Corben’s snoring hit a new crescendo, I expected him to wake.By the timemy phone vibrated to announce Lolita’s arrival, I was a nervous wreck.

I opened the door a couple of inches and poked my head out. “Hey, thank you.”

“Let me in.”

“Shhh.” She had no idea how loud she was. “I can’t.”

“Who’s in there?”

“It’s Corben.”

“Mr. Universe? Come on, I want to see.”

“No. Give me the shirt.”

“Awww, not until you let me see.”

“Lolly,” I hissed at her. “That’s blackmail.”

“No.” She wriggled her head. “It’s girlfriend code.”

I cocked my head. “Can I have the shirt, please?”

“What the fuck are you girls doing?”

My stomach threatened to hurl again atthe sound ofCorben’s deep voice.

Lolita pushed on the door and winked at me as she strode past. I watched wide-eyed as shestroderight up to my naked Corben and held out her hand.

“Hi, I’m Lolita. Jane’s best friend.”

Corben glanced at me, then without covering himself, he shook Lolita’s hand. “Did Jane invite you over?”

Lolita made a show of checking Corben out, and he didn’t seem to mindone bit. “Well, sort of. She asked me to bring a shirt—apparently, she can’t find hers.”

Corben chuckled. “That’s because she tore it off in the elevator.”

Lolita jiggled from foot to foot and clapped. “Ha, that’s gold.”

As Corben sat up and planted his feet on the floor, Lolita mouthed ‘wow’ at me.

I stifled a giggle as Corben stood. But a flush of embarrassment blazed my cheeks as Lolly boldly ran her gaze over his body.

“’Scuse me for a sec.” As Corben strode to the bathroom,bothLolita and I watched the glorious spectacle of his physique.

“Holy shit, babe, you’ve hit the fucking jackpot.”
