Page 68 of Something So Strong

“They’re good, I’ll give you that,” Kai starts, clearly suspicious of his reasoning. “But who wouldn’t want to explore further? A girl as willing as Cleo doesn’t come along that often. And let me tell you. That ass is delicious.”

“Looks like you found yourself a soulmate here, Jess.” Romeo nudges my arm, a little too happy to redirect the spotlight. “No wonder you were eye fucking Mavis. Did Jess tell you she let him park it round the back?”

Jesus Christ on a cracker!

No, Romi, I haven’t told him.

“Fuck,” Kai sighs dreamily. “Lucky… I can just imagine how nice it must have been to pound into that.”

“Damn it, Kai. You’re turning me on,” Romeo wisecracks.

“It was something else,” I agree—happy the conversation is flowing without the sense anyone is faking it.

“Your first time?” Kai asks.

I nod.

“Yeah.” He grins. “I can tell you’re hooked already.” Kai licks his lips, looks me up and down just like when we first met, and then diverts his attention back to Romeo. “Did Cleo ask you for it?”

“Ah-um, yeah. She did, actually.”

“You can blame me for that.” Kai turns back to me. “Seems she can’t get enough of it after I showed her how it’s done properly.”

A wave of heat flashes up from my toes, making my cheeks and ears burn.

“Well, like I said. It ain’t my thing,” Romeo mumbles as he chews on.

“Just finger her in the ass while you fuck her doggie. She’ll be happy.” Kai winks at me, and I swallow hard.

This is not an unusual conversation for me. I have intimate knowledge of how both my best friends like to fuck. And, on occasion, even witnessed it firsthand. But nothing was ever misconstrued. It was always black and white. And their words never affected me like Kai’s do.

Never was there an agenda hidden from everyone else, but so obvious to me.

Never had the words that left their mouth changed meaning entirely upon entering my ears.

I like banging that bird, had never meant, I wanna fuck you, and I’m so damned good at it…

Fumbling with the bottle of orange juice, I eventually manage to get the lid off at the exact time a text comes through Messenger on my phone.

KAI: Your dick’s hard, isn’t it?

Without moving, my eyes rise from the screen to meet his before bashfully lowering again.

KAI: God, you turn me on so much.

JESSE: You could help me out.

KAI: Won’t Romeo feel left out?

JESSE: Someone’s feeling confident.

KAI: I’d rather feel your cock.

JESSE: Don’t start something you don’t plan on finishing.

KAI: Aren’t you having fun just flirting?

JESSE: No! Quit teasing me unless you plan on helping me cum.
