I crossed my arms. “Would you do it if I said yes?”
“Could it be you and Banni?”
“No!”
“Why not?”
“Because you like him too much.”
“But I feel safe with him.”
“I don’t care. I’ll break his arm the moment he touches your private parts.”
“So, we can’t have a threesome with a man?”
“Sure, if he’s dickless and has no arms and hands.”
Aubri laughed softly. “Noted.”
We were quiet for a long moment, both of us lying on our backs looking up at the ceiling.
She was the first to speak. “I’ve had my first orgasm with a man now.”
“Mm-hmm.” A smug smile spread on my lips, knowing that I’d been that man.
“You’ve had your first oral too.”
“Not really.”
“She licked you down there.”
“Yeah, but it doesn’t count. She didn’t close her lips around my cock and suck me.”
“I’m sorry.” Aubri propped herself up on her elbow and faced me.
“About what?”
“That you didn’t get to come.”
“It’s not the end of the world. I just wish she hadn’t taken that stupid photo.”
Falling back on her pillow, Aubri folded her hands on top of the duvet and waited a moment before she spoke. “I want one of their pregnancy prevention implants.”
I turned my face toward her. “You do?”
“Yes. I can have it removed before I go back home. I want this year of complete freedom before I commit to someone.”
I rubbed my forehead with my palm. “I get that, but what about your future husband? There are men who wouldn’t like that you’d been with others.”
“Then they can choose not to marry me. If I’m lucky I can find someone who has a lot of sexual experience himself.”
“You want him to have had other women?”
“I’m thinking it would make him a better lover. I don’t know, Indy, this whole virgin thing seems silly to me. I want to explore.”
“I do too, but I want to explore with the person I love.”
“But we didn’t love Lucille and it was still fun.”
