Page 79 of Tease Me

“What?”

“Was that Cal?”

“Of course. Say hi to Jane.”

Oh faaarrkkk. She has me on speaker.

“Hi, Jane.”

I slid down the wall until my knees were at my chin. “Has he heard everything we’ve said?”

“Of course. But don’t worry; he’s cool.”

“So. . . he knows you’ve had a threesome?”

“Of course. You know we don’t have any secrets, and it wasn’t just one threesome.”

“And he’s okay with it.”

“Shit yeah. It makeshimhorny. Doesn’t it, babe?”

I pictured Cal’s cheeky grin. “Of course.”

“Besides, Jane, what happens before you meet a guy is exactly that—something you did before you met him. You can’t undo the past. It’s what you do once you get together that counts.”

“Well said, honey.” Calvin’s deep voice cut into her speech.

“Thanks, babe.”

Subtle sucking noises drifted down the phone, and for the hundredth time, I was given a demonstration of their love for each other.Maybe their choice to share their past exploits, thereby eliminating secrets, hadmadetheir passion and loveso strong.

“Anyway, babe, Cal and I think you should have the threesome.”

“Sure do,” Calvin weighed in on the conversation.

I groaned.

“So, here’s what you’re going to do,” she said.

I huffed. “What?”

“Oh, cheer up. You’ve got men lining up to be with you. Six months ago, your vagina had sealed back over.”

Bloody hell. Kill me now.“That’s great. Thanks for sharing that.”

“You’re welcome.Anyway,it sounds like you’re in for a busy night at work, correct?”

I turned to check the counter, and although no one was standing there, based on all the noise in the lobby, I assumed there were still dozens of people around. “Probably.”

“Spend the night thinking about it. Those hunky hunks upstairs aren’t going anywhere, and come morning, you can go up to them with a plan.”

As I silently thought about it, she went silent, too. It would’ve killed her.

“Maybe,” I finally said.

“I bet you do it.”

“Really?” I forced sarcasm into my voice. “What do you bet?”
