“If I’d known I would be this entertained I would have left Rider home with the kids earlier.” Laughed Zara, wiping the corner of her eye.
Seriously no sympathy at all for her plight. She wouldn’t let them be her prison pen pals, nope.
Paige had taken refuge in the library. Now she was hiding out, deciding if she could become a jail hard-ass bitch and sell sexual favors to the guards in return for privileges.
“Can I say something?” Winter’s friend Zara pitched in.
The girls were sitting in one of the reading nooks. It was cozy, with gray armchairs and a low table in between. If she’d been in a better frame of mind, Paige could have totally relaxed there for an hour and talked book boyfriends and Tom Hardy muscles. God, she loved that rough, English man.
Paige nodded, gnawing on the edge of her thumb nail. So much for letting them grow, she was doomed to have short, stubby nails for the rest of her life.
“I know we don’t know each other that well, except for when I drop by the diner for those scrummy coconut scones.”
“Paige makes those.” Added Winter. She was walking along the shelves, putting books back in their rightful places.
“No way? God, I’m addicted. I’d bribe the recipe out of you, but I’m still burning garlic bread so I might have to give it a miss or keep the fire department on speed dial.” The small, blonde fairy-like woman chuckled, and it was only when she moved to tuck her legs underneath her that Paige saw she was pregnant.
Something like pain hit her in the stomach and she didn’t know why. She liked kids and was looking forward to Winter’s twin boys, she’d already designated herself chief babysitter.
But there it was, low in her abdomen, like she was remembering pain.
She shook her head.One problem at a time, Paige.
“So, anyway. You got some from Reaper … let’s bookmark this for details later, girls, because I for one am verrrrry curious about him.” She winked at Paige who blushed a little. “He took his migraine pills.”
“This isn’t a recap of what happened last week on the Great British Bake Off. Get on with it, Zara.” Winter called out from three rows back.
“I am!” Zara yelled back. “You said he laughed. That isn’t what someone would do if they’re unhappy. He’s probably kicking himself he didn’t remember all the good stuff. To me it sounds like he was thrilled.”
God, it really had been good. So good, amazing, even.
Paige deflated. It made sense, she supposed. He hadn’t appeared to be mad.
“So, no prison then?”
“I doubt it. Unless you go on to commit a spree of crimes between here and the diner.”
Winter walked around the corner, her baby belly much bigger than Zara’s seeing as how she had two boys in there, but she looked so lovely, so happy, that Paige felt a twinge of envy.
“Are we taking the bookmark out now? Because I need the dirty particulars of the amazing sex you had with Reaper.” Zara’s eyes twinkled and she nodded enthusiastically at Winter’s question while sipping on her tea. “And don’t tell us how romantic it was. We want the rough and raw details, lady. Stamina and how filthy he talked.”
“All the bikers have a mouth on them, that’s for sure.” Zara said. “Luckily I’m immune except for my Ambrosio.”
She was not telling them about the surprise yet…enjoyablethumb in her butt.
And then she found herself asking. “I have a question… where do we stand on anal sex?”
“I personally lie down for it.” Winter said with a little wink.
It cracked Paige the hell up, hanging half over the chair laughing until her sides split, the other two joined in and that’s how Winter’s husband discovered them a moment later when he prowled through the doors.
“Oh, fuck. I get scared when Z-girl assembles her crew. Do I have to call in the Prez to break this up before someone gets shiv’ed with a glitter pen?” Snake grinned then winked at his wife who practically swooned right out of her heels.
She loved watching them together… oh not like that,ew. But just being around all their love. Until their friendship, she’d never witnessed a loving relationship like theirs up close. She probably accepted way too many dinner invites at their house, but it was always so cozy over there. Snake adored Winter to the stars and back and it was a lovely thing to see. She took second-hand hits of their love.
If she was honest, seeing them so happy had been the catalyst to joining that stupid dating app. She wanted a piece of what they had.
But now Reaper had made her crush so much larger by letting her know he didn’t want her dating anyone except him.
