“You’re wearing this green top with this skirt.” It was the shirt I’d ordered online and a jean skirt and she wasn’t asking, she was telling. “As for makeup, let me see what you’ve got.”

She went into the bathroom and I got dressed.

“Don’t think for one second I’ve forgotten that you got eaten out by Maverick James,” she said from the bathroom.

I didn’t think she would. I was impressed she held off this long to bring it up.

I pulled the shirt over my head, then smoothed it down. It had a V neckline and while it wasn’t inappropriate, looking down I had a good view of my cleavage. What there was of it, at least.

She came out holding a lip gloss. “Didn’t we get this for a seventh-grade dance?” She sniffed it. “It’s cherry flavored. Okay, that’s just wrong.”

I bit my lip and nodded. She went to the trash can and dropped it in. “We’ll raid Lindy’s stash. Where is she, anyway?”

“Not sure. She wasn’t here when I got back.”

“So… Maverick’s pussy snack. Did you sit on his face or were you at the edge of the bed or–”

“Mal!” I cried, my cheeks heating. “I’m not telling you that.”

“Yes, you are.”

“No, I’m not. We kissed last night,” I began, giving her something.

“Last night?” Her perfectly arched eyebrows went up. “You mean at the office? You kissed Jake Ryan after I walked out?”

I nodded, then bit back a smile. “It was nothing like the movie.”

At the end of Sixteen Candles, Jake and Samantha kissed sweetly and innocently over a birthday cake. What Mav and I did was far from innocent or sweet.

“Late last night, he emailed me a sex quiz back,” I told her, catching her up.

She frowned, then her eyes widened. “Holy shit. That didn’t happen in the movie. I bet every word was hot.”

I couldn’t help but grin. “It was. God, yes. He did it so I have it as protection. So that I’m comfortable because he read mine. I can sue him or–”

“Get a shit ton of money out of the guy if you wanted. Wow.” Mal’s enthusiasm softened. “Bridge, I like this guy.”

I licked my lips, dropped onto my bed. “I do, too.”

“So he went downtown before you had sex.”

I shook my head. “We didn’t have sex. We were going to, but his brothers showed up.”

“Including Theo.”

I rolled my eyes. “God, yes. Including Theo.”

“Is he nice?”

“Theo?”

“Yes, Theo.”

“Quiet. He’s a doctor. Trauma surgeon.”

“Ooh, hot and a doctor.” Mal fanned herself. “I wonder if he’s hungry. I’ve got something for him to eat.”

I popped up from the bed. “Oh my God. The way you talk, you’ll get along great with Dex. He’s the youngest and a professional hockey player.”
