"Can I have one too?"

"You can."

"Yes!" Charlotte runs to Miss East, who is busy making a customer a sandwich.

As I arrive at the table, two pairs of eyes are staring at me with anticipation. Bella is grinning, and Alisha is rubbing her hands together.

"Morning," I say as I take a seat.

"Yes, we understand you're having a splendid morning," Bella begins. "When we saw a bare-chested Nick on our screen, we knew enough."

"So give us the details. Was it good? Is he well endowed?" Alisha rambles.

I remember their embarrassing question this morning, and my lips curl upwards. "Okay. Bella, you were right."

My red-haired friend furrows her brows "Right about what?"

"Him being better than the pink goddess. Because he is—he filled me up in ways that made me scream his name, many times."

Alisha's jaw drops as Bella's eyes expand to the max.

"Why do they have those weird expressions on their faces, Mom?" Charlotte asks as she comes my way followed by Miss East carrying two hot cups of hot chocolate.

"I don't know." I chuckle.

"Did you have fun with Nick, Mommy?"

"Yes, I did." I take the spoon and put whipped cream in my mouth while giving my friends a knowing, playful wink.

Arriving at the gym,I’m imagining Emma's naked body while changing into a pair of comfortable shorts and a sleeveless shirt. Enough. If I don't stop this, I will need a cold shower before my workout. After I've pulled myself together, I walk towards the rowing machines where Brian and Cole are giving it their all.

I greet them with a simple, "Hey," before taking place on the rowing machine next to Brian. I hope they don't ask questions, but of course they do.

"So the hot mommy? How was it?" Brian starts.

I let out an exasperated sigh as I glance aside to see my two best friends have stopped their training. They're awaiting my response. Brian has a grin on his face, and Cole is his usual reserved self.

"Okay, so first, her name is Emma. And second, our date was fine. Let's go back to our workout, shall we?" I grab the handle and start rowing.

"Damn, he never called a date fine," Cole says. "What do you think it means, Brian?"

I keep on moving while turning my head to face the guys. Brian has narrowed his eyes, and Cole rubs his chin as I grind my teeth. These guys are like brothers to me, but now I find them annoying.Brian's eyes burn with amusement as he investigates me.

"His hair's a mess, and he shows up late. I'll bet you that our boy ate pussy last night."

Brian's grin becomes wider as he sees how I row harder. Cole throws his head back, and his robust laugh bounces through the room.

"Oh. Maybe I should have myself a 'fine' date with Emma."

I let go of the handle and turn while stabbing a finger against Brian's chest. "If you ever point your finger at her, you're a dead man."

"Easy there, golden boy. I'm only teasing." Brian holds up his hands as he gives me an enigmatic smile.

"Damn, our friend is serious about this, Emma," Cole continues.

Brian rubs his hands with an immense grin. "Yep. This woman has got him by the balls. He's off the bachelor market, leaving more women for me."His eyes grow enormous as his focus lands on a woman who's bending forward with her ass towards us. "Damn, look at that. That's the finest body and ass I've ever seen. I'm going to offer my help with stretching."
