CHAPTER NINETEEN

BRIAR

––––––––

“Why do you look soflushed?” Trina is the one late today.

I nearly didn’t make it.

Savannah was supposed to be at a medical appointment at eleven and then heading to her beauty therapist, so I planned to catch up on some work from home.

Which I was until she rang in a panic, saying she hadn’t sent the contract to her manager. It was signed on her desk, and I needed to pick it up and drive it over.

So much for the digital age.

So while I was a few minutes earlier than Trina, my armpits were sweaty, and my body still ached from my night with Aidan.

“Just got here.” I say, swilling my glass of water as she drops into the chair in front of me.

“No,” Trina studies me. “It’s not that.”

I take another sip, then slowly lower the water and dart my eyes between Alice, who is beside her, and Trina.

There is no way they could know.

“Oh, my god. You’ve had an orgasm!”

I cough, trying to swallow but make a mess and grab a napkin.

“What?”

“I’m the orgasm whisperer.Youhave had a lot of them.” She tips her head. “And not with Kael.”

I sip the water again.

And again.

Then one more time.

Alice’s looks at both of us. “She has? You have?”

More sipping.

Then I resign myself to my fate and drop my glass. “Fine. I had a fight with my mom last night.”
