Joanna

When I went down to breakfast, I didn’t see Landon anywhere. That pissed me off: I wanted to know what the hell had happened back there. Guys were turned down for sex all the time, but as a woman? It had never happened to me. Especially not in the middle of the freaking act.

I stewed on that for a while, and felt marginally better after getting some food in my stomach. But even after the anger faded away, I was still confused about what had happened.

Whatever. If he wanted to be weird about it, then that was fine. I had other ways to channel my sexual frustration. Since Landon was probably down at the beach, I decided to go to the pool instead and create a group text with my other two male acquaintances on this trip.

Me: Good morning. I’m sitting by the pool with my book, but I can’t focus. All I can think about is tonight.

Austin: Ditto.

Theo: So you were serious about doing it again?

Me: YES!

Theo: I was afraid you might change your mind this morning.

Austin: Can’t say the thought didn’t cross my mind, too.

Me: Please tell me, in explicit detail, what you two intend to do with me tonight.

Me: Correction: what you intend to do TO me.

Austin: I’m not really the creative type when it comes to writing. I’m a lot better at showing ;-)

Me: Aww.

Theo: I’m going to play with you for a while. With the toys. And then, when you’ve been tortured enough and can barely stand it, I’m going to bend you over the bed and fuck you so hard that the pictures fall off the walls and the neighbors complain to the front desk.

Me: OH DAMN

Austin: Yeah, what he said. That.

Me: Wait. You said toys, plural?

Theo: Sure. You found the bag in my suitcase.

Me: The only toy I saw was the, um, plug. Of the butt variety.

Austin: I think she means the butt plug.

Theo: Thanks, I figured out her secret code.

Theo: That was just one toy. I’ve got a few more. Two of them vibrate.

Me: I am officially unable to wait until tonight. What are you two doing right now?

“Getting a drink,” Theo said over my shoulder. He walked by my chair and stood in front of me with a coconut drink in his hand, a long pink straw extending out of the top. “Hey there.”

“You sent me that explicit text while getting a drink at the bar?”

“Oh yeah. The bartender gave me a really weird look.” He sucked from the straw. “I might have been reading it out loud as I typed, now that I think about it.”

I put my phone down. “Want to throw that drink away and suck on parts of my body instead?”

He gave me the most delicious lusty grin. “I thought you’d never ask.”

“There’s Teddy!” Bradyn exclaimed as he came running up. Right behind him were Wyatt… and Austin. “You still down to check out the sauna?”
