“Trust me, there are no problems there.” I bite on my bottom lip, my body warming from thoughts of him and me last night.

“Ooh. Tell us more.” Lilith is instantly curious.

“Yes, please let me live vicariously through you.” Patricia groans.

She’s still yet to find the man of her dreams. There was this one guy, and he broke her heart last year by sleeping with someone from work. She does her best to avoid them, but it’s not easy.

“Well, last night…” I whisper as though someone will hear me even though I’m alone, Fia playing with Louise.

“Spill!” Emily utters impatiently.

“He tied me up…with rope.”

“Holy…” I don’t think I’ve ever heard Emily sound so shocked in my life.

“Like shibari?” Lilith asks.

I jerk back in confusion. “You’ve heard of it?”

“Um, of course. Your hubby’s a rigger.”

“A what?” My brows shoot up.

“Someone who’s into using rope like that.”

“Oh.”

How does she even know this stuff?

“It seems so hot. Was it?” Lilith asks.

“Yes…” My face creeps up with a flush as I recall the way he touched me, taking his time as he tied me up.

“Well, damn! Homeboy is a freak.”

“It was scary at first, but I did like it.” My body grows hot at the admission.

“Good for you.” I can hear a smile in Emily’s voice. “After the loser who shall remain nameless, you needed a good bang.”

At the mention of Xander, my pulse thunders.

He’s dead. He’s actually gone, and Fionn is the one who killed him.

My stomach tightens.

“We really all need to plan a day to meet,” Emily adds. “I haven’t seen you in too long.”

“Yeah, we do. Maybe this weekend?”

“Sure!”

“I have nothing to do,” Patricia throws in.

“Same,” Lilith says.

“Perfect. I’ll see if Fionn can arrange for me to go to Boston.”

“We don’t mind coming to you,” Emily volunteers. “I kinda wanna see the house.”
