I grin and nudge him gently. “She’d love him, if I’m being honest. But it was just one night.”

“As long as you were safe.”

“Very safe, I promise.” I watch my big brother for a moment and smile when he looks at me. He nods again and with a quick kiss on my forehead, walks back into the house. I inhale deeply and close my eyes, allowing myself a few minutes to catch my breath. Then I join my family as dessert is served and gossip is shared.

Tamara

ARE YOU ALIVE? OR DID BLURRY HOTTIE KILL YOU?

I’m alive.

Tamara

I’ve been texting for close to 12 hours and that’s all you have to say?

My phone died and I forgot to charge it.

Tamara

And here I thought YOU had died.

You never sent me his license and all I got was a blurry set of pictures of a man kissing your neck.

Also the video was useless, but he sounds DELICIOUS. Was he?

Hmm…he was something, all right.

Tamara

Gimme all the details

I showed up to family lunch and put a hickey on display.

Tamra

WHAAAAT!?

Wait, A hickey? How many did he give you?

I’m glad I know how to use makeup.

Tamara

Oh my god, you slut.

Sluttiest I’ve ever been and it was totally worth it.

Tamara

I need a night of drinks to catch up on all of your filthy shenanigans

Ladies night this Wednesday? Big discount on drinks.

Tamara

I’ll be there!

Seven. His lady of the night
