“Anyway, I want to share, I’m just… itfeels weird and a bit embarrassing, I guess. Especially after what I said toPreacher.”

“Oh, now youhaveto tell us,” Gracesaid.

“Gracie!” Kira squeezed Addie’s armagain. “You don’t have to tell us, honey.”

“I want to.” She took a deep breath. “So,um, Preacher was already inside of me and I hadn’t come yet but I wasn’t thatupset about it or anything. Except, then he started touching me and thecombination of that and his, um, penis felt so good that I kind of lost my mindand started babbling. I mean, I couldn’t shut up. It was so embarrassing. Ikept telling him that it felt really good and begging him to keep going. Imean I was literally begging!”

Her embarrassment was at an all time high,but she dropped her gaze to the table and kept talking. “I actually felt likeI might die if he stopped and I didn’t have an orgasm. How stupid is that? Ididn’t shut up once the whole time he was, um, screwing me. Half the time I waspleading for him not to stop and then the other half of the time I was telling himhe was big. I even told him that I… oh God this is humiliating… I’d never hadanything so big in me before.”

She was still staring at the table and whenthere was only silence, she lifted her head. Kira had herself under bettercontrol, but Grace’s face was so red, and her body was shaking so violentlythat Addie thought she might have a stroke.

“It’s not funny!” she said.

The laughter spilled out of Grace. “Ohhoney, it’s awesome. It’s like you were auditioning for a bad porn movie.”

She bent over and pressed her hands againstthe table before fluttering her eyelashes at Kira and Addie. “Oh, Preacher,” shesaid, her voice a remarkably accurate impression of Addie’s, “I’ve never hadsomething so big in me before. You’re such a stud!”

Kira laughed so hard that tears came to hereyes. Addie tried to glare at Grace but giggled instead. “Oh God, it’s funnybecause it’s true. That’s exactly how I sounded!”

Grace sat down next to her and howled withlaughter as Kira wiped at the tears on her cheeks. When their laughter finallyeased, Addie said, “I’m so embarrassed.”

“Don’t be,” Kira said. “I’m sure guys lovehearing a woman tell them that they’re big.”

“True,” Grace said. “But maybe you shouldtry to avoid sounding like a cheesy porn script the next time, honey.”

Addison groaned and buried her face in herhands. “There won’t be a next time. I keep telling you that.”

“Well, the good news is – you got your firsttry at rebound sex over and done with and you can concentrate on finding otherpretty boys to have meaningless sex with and gain some confidence,” Kira said.“This is your time to shine, Addie.”

Addison laughed. “Yeah, I don’t think casualsex is for me. As good as it felt with Preacher, the awkwardness and the wayhe kept apologizing after was terrible.”

She turned her head from side to side,easing the tense muscles. “You were right, Gracie. Sleeping with Preacher wasa bad idea and now I have no idea how I’ll even look him in the eye at the nextbarbeque.”

“It’ll be okay,” Grace said. “I mean, yeah,it’ll be awkward at first but sleeping with women once is kind of what Preacherdoes, right? He’ll probably be much cooler about it than you think.”

“Maybe you’re right,” Addison said. “Besides,we barely spoke at the barbeques or when we were all hanging out togetherbefore we slept together. So that’s not going to change. I was just a warmplace to put his penis.”

Grace snorted laughter. “Sweetie, call ita dick at least, would you?”

“I… I can’t be crude.”

“You should try it, it’s lots of fun,” Gracesaid. “Remember when I texted you last night?”

“Yeah. I’d just gotten home from thetattoo shop.”

“Gideon asked me to text you.”

“What? Why?” Addison said.

“That’s the weird thing. He wouldn’t say.He just asked me to text you and make sure you were at home and safe.”

“Oh my God,” Kira said. “Preacher askedGideon to ask you to text Addison.”

“I think so,” Grace said. “He knew you werewalking home in the dark and he was worried. Which means you were more than justa warm place for him to put his,” she smiled teasingly at Addison, “penis.”

Addison didn’t reply, but she couldn’tignore the small spark of warmth in her belly. It was stupid, but the ideathat Preacher might have been worried about her walking home in the dark made someof her regret and embarrassment about what happened last night ease.

“All right, now that the sex talk is over, showus this tattoo, you wild woman,” Grace said.
