Finished the beer Sterling gave me.
Squished my napkin into an unrecognizable ball.
I watched Kendra rock a fucking baby in her lap when Courtney went to the bathroom.
Watched Kendra laugh at something Fisher said.
And I’m about ready to call in a bomb threat simply to get her alone.
My phone alerts me to a new text.
Grateful for the distraction, I pull it out of my pocket.
Baby Doll: Remember that last picture I sent you?
Remember?
I look at that photo every night. Imagining the sounds she’d make as I dragged that thong off her body with my fucking teeth.
I raise my eyes from my phone.
Hers are already on mine.
Another text comes through.
Baby Doll: That’s the only thing I’m wearing under this dress.
My eyes drop to her lap, like I can see through her dress. Like I can see that red scrap of fabric wedged against her slit.
I move my gaze over to Fisher.
Kendra is wearing nothing but a formfitting dress and a thong, and he suddenly feels way too close.
Another text.
Baby Doll: Do you know if Fisher is single?
Chapter 39
Kendra
It’s sohard to keep a straight face.
I’m not interested in Fisher. Maybe if I hadn’t already met Luther. But even then…
I watch Luther’s jaw clench.
Take in the way his muscles are bunched under his T-shirt.
Picture the way his thick thighs look in those jeans…
No. Even if I hadn’t met Luther until today, he still would’ve stolen all my attention.
My phone vibrates on my lap.
Papi: Make an excuse to go to the house.
Papi: Alone.
