Page 80 of Her Sweet Surrender
Lea looked stricken when she told them, “I heard he hasn’t even held the baby.”
“Faelan is really struggling,” Brie confessed.
“Sometimes you reach a breaking point,” Mary stated, her tone so matter-of-fact it frightened Brie.
Brie turned to her in concern, “You’re not at that point, are you?”
She scoffed. “Don’t worry about me, Stinks. I’m like the cat that came back the very next day. This pussy ain’t going anywhere.”
“I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your strength, Mary.”
She rolled her eyes. “Stop with all the mushy crap. You know I hate that shit.”
Brie smiled.
“I’m seriously worried about Faelan, Brie,” Lea said. “Is there anything we can do?”
Brie sighed, feeling equally concerned. “Keep him in your thoughts, you guys. He’s shunning all contact because he’s in a dark place right now.”
“I feel sorry for his parents,” Mary told them. “They looked completely shattered at the funeral. They’re so desperate, they even asked me to reach out to their son.”
“Don’t they know you broke up with him?” Lea asked.
“Yeah, which just shows how desperate they are.”
Brie frowned. “They have every right to worry. Even Marquis Gray is concerned.”
A sense of melancholy settled over the three as they stood together, staring out at the bustling city below.
“There’s only one thing to be done,” Mary stated, her voice resolute.
Brie turned to her. “What?”
“It’s time for big boobs to kill us with a joke.”
“Is that supposed to be funny?” Lea grumbled, clearly offended.
“No. I’m being completely serious.”
Brie smiled at Lea. “I could use one right now.”
“Okay…”
Lea started pacing back and forth. “Give me a second you guys. I’m not prepared for this.”
Mary smirked at Brie. “Who knew Lea would ever be at a loss for words?”
“I actually know a lot of jokes in sign language,” Lea informed her.
“Really?” Brie asked.
“Yeah, but nobody has ever heard them,” she answered as she continued to pace.
It took Brie a few moments to catch on. She glanced at Mary and saw her dragging her hands down her face in feigned agony.
Brie burst out laughing. “That joke was professionally executed, Lea. It was so subtle I nearly missed it, which makes it even funnier. Well done, girlfriend.”
Lea beamed at her. “I’ve got a great one for you, Stinky Cheese. What do you call a threesome where one Dom praises you and the other humiliates you?”
