My preview of the message only shows three words:It’s time to—

It’s time to what? If I open their message, I’ll lose the momentum on the code because I know what will happen. Last time I answered their message I was at their place and naked within the hour and the next day this pretty black box arrived a couple of hours after they dropped me off.

I bite at the inside of my cheek.

Do I want that again?

Stupid question. Of course, I do.

But do I need it? Err. Probably not. But then again, hell yes.

I smile to myself.

The second they get their hands on me, my mind will go blank and I won’t be able to think for days. My body still hums from our last encounter. My heart quickens at the memory. Of my secret trio sharing me between them. Whispering how much they loved how my body responded to theirs.

I shake my head and grab my glasses.

I refill my cup of coffee, add in a two sugar cubes and a splash of milk. This should get me through at least another couple of hours. I make my way to my bedroom, the phone left on the counter where it can’t tempt me when I hear the front door open and close.

“Babe, you here?”

Piper.

“No,” I call back and wake my computer from sleep mode.

“Ha ha,” Piper mocks and whirls into my room bringing the energy of new love with her.

I drink in her fashionably ripped jeans, fresh makeup, slightly smeared magenta lipstick, and wild, crazy curly hair that hangs over her shoulders. “You lookhappy.”

“And you look tired. When was the last time you stepped away from that machine and breathed in some fresh air?”

“I just sat back down, thank you very much. I made coffee. It’s fresh. You wanna binge watch John Wick while I work?”

Piper throws her slight weight onto the edge of my bed. “Let’s be real for a sec. I think the last time you left this place was when you slept with those three guys from Sapphire.”

Heat shoots to my cheeks. “I thought we said we would never bring that up again.”

Piper shrugs. “Since you have decided you are a vampire, I think it’s at least worth a mention. Did you even bother to make your bed today?”

I give it a cursory glance before turning back to my screen. “Besides, you’re wrong. It’s only been a week or so since we went to that book fair.” I try for a change of topic, but the pursed lips of my friend state she’s not fooled.

“Yeah. No. Try almost a month, sweet thing. And almost three since I got you to go with me to Sapphire.”

Her eyes light up with mischief. “Maybe we need to go back and find you another hook-up. Maybe another trio. Or maybetheywill be there again. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen them there since they were with you.” She narrows her eyes and my heart stops.

Uh-oh. If Piper is good at anything it is piecing together puzzles with missing pieces of information. She’s a few months shy of graduating from law school and loves figuring out other people’s secrets. She pauses and I hold my breath but thank God she doesn’t push the topic farther. I rather not spill the beans on all my secret meetups, thank you very much.

“Anyway, one day you’ll have to tell me what it’s like having three guys worship your body.”

Not happening. That is a secret I plan on taking to my grave. “Don’t you have a boyfriend?” I tease.

“Yeah, but that’s not going anywhere. Giving him my V card isn’t gonna happen.”

I shove my slipping bun back atop my head and continue nursing my lukewarm coffee. Piper is the only other soul who knows my secret. To an extent. She knows of the first night I spent with Tomas, Maksym, and Stefan. But not the other times. It’s kind of nice having a secret. That way when it ends, I won’t owe anyone an explanation,

I grab my phone from the kitchen counter and fall back into my chair, feeling my friend’s eyes on me the whole time.

A few swipes over my phone’s screen and our last conversation pops up along with their newest messages. Leaving it onreadwill probably piss them off, but oh well.
