“Nothing iswrongwith you.” She pats my arm. “That’s the whole point of this. It’s okay to indulge your desires sometimes. And if Adam is the man who made you finally accept that, then this can’t be all bad.”

“I guess not.”

Adam makes me want to unleash things I never imagined. But more than that, he accepts every part of me. He breaks me out of my shell and puts words to the desires I’m too scared to voice on my own.

On top of that, he opened up to me in ways I sense he doesn’t often.

Adam is unconventional, but he’s never forced me to do anything I don’t want to. If I asked to leave now, he’d probably let me. He would respect the limit if I vocalized it.

Regardless of what he’s done, he’s proven that much.

The longer the realization settles, I’m not sure what to do with it. I should be disgusted by what he’s done behind my back. But I didn’t walk into this under the illusion he’s Prince Charming. I was attempting to deceive him myself, pretending to be my sister.

But he wants me—Lakeyn.

Not Ivy. Not whatever girl Josh wanted me to be.

Me.

Adam wants a girl he knows hides darkness in her. Pain that I still haven’t been brave enough to share with him. Without conditions and without judgment.

“I’m so fucked.”

Stella laughs. “Girl, at this point in the week, if you aren’t thoroughly fucked, you’re doing something wrong.”

I can’t help but smile at the truth lacing her comment. I might have only known Stella for a few days, but it already feels like years.

“Enough boy talk,” I say, straightening up. “This afternoon is for us ladies, so that’s what we’re going to focus on. Where are they taking us, anyway?”

Shortly after I woke up this morning, there was a knock at the door, and when I opened it, a letter was taped to the surface. All it said was the manor was hosting a girls’ day, and all interested should attend.

After my evening with Adam, some space from the opposite sex is exactly what I need.

“I know as much as you do,” Stella says, fanning herself dramatically. “But given last night’s show, I doubt we’ll be disappointed.”

We follow the group of girls into a living room. It’s out of date, like most of the manor, but still grand and dripping in money. And it makes me curious why Adam has renovated his room to be completely modern but has left the rest of this place the same. I have no doubt he has the money to do whatever he wants.

“Welcome.” A woman at the far end of the room smiles wide at our arrival.

At first, I can’t see what’s on the table in front of her because a herd of women are blocking my view. But as they fan out and it becomes clear, my cheeks instantly heat.

“Well, this afternoon just got interesting.” Stella stops us at the table and picks up a thick neon pink vibrator. “At least if you decide you can’t forgive him, your vagina won’t get lonely.”

“Stella.” I grab it out of her hand and must hit a button because it starts vibrating. “Crap.”

I search for the off switch but can’t find it. Looking like a fool fumbling around with a neon pink silicone dick.

“Girl.” Stella snatches it from me and turns it off. “If you can’t even find the on and off switch, then I’m glad that man lured you into his bed and opened your eyes to a few things.”

I’d like to tell her she’s wrong, but she isn’t. This is the most relaxed I’ve ever been. The most out of my head. And it’s all thanks to Adam, his magic hands, and his magic dick.

Did I really just think of his dick as magic?

I’m so fucked.

“Ooh what about this one?” Stella holds up a black U-shaped toy that makes my stomach sink because it reminds me of what Adam stuck inside me.

“It’s good.”
