Price sat on one side of us and Cole on the other side. Cole saw I was holding a spoonful of ice cream midair and leaned over to eat it. I gasped and glared at him. “Hey! I don’t think I want to share this.”

He grinned and shrugged. “Oops.”

I took another bite and looked at the three of them. After swallowing, I forced myself to find my voice and be bold. “What is this?”

“Moose tracks ice cream?” Drake smiled when I scowled at him. “Sorry. I don’t know what this is. I know I had plans on dating you and I still have those plans, but apparently, these guys are butting in. I’m not really sure what that means. We’ve never been in a situation like this before.”

“Really? With all the women who were throwing themselves at y’all tonight, I assumed this is something you’ve done. You seemed so confident.”

Cole snorted. “Weseemed confident? You just started kissing people and here we are.”

When I gasped and he grinned, I realized he was teasing me. “Okay, you’ve never done this. But what is this? Spell it out for me.”

Price stared at me closely and frowned. “How experienced are you?”

CHAPTER 18

Drake

Sonnie stared into her ice cream and shrugged. “Experienced.”

My stomach tightened. “Sonnie. Answer seriously, please.”

Her cheeks heated and she frowned. “I’ve had sex. Kind of.”

Cole sat up. “Kind of?”

Price was just as alarmed. “Kind of? What does kind of mean?”

“Don’t make a big deal out of it or I’m not saying another word. God. Not even this ice cream is going to make you three freaking out less embarrassing.” Sonnie shook her head and scowled. “I’ve done everything else. I’m great at some of those things, too.”

“Are you a virgin?” I wasn’t sure if what I was feeling more was a dreadful sense of responsibility or a wildfire of desire. I didn’t want to ruin the woman, but…I did. I wanted to ruin her for anyone else. I wanted to leave my mark on her pretty skin and never have another man touch her. Which was already problematic, considering I was sitting with my best friends, who were also talking about touching her.

“Not exactly.” She looked up at the ceiling and blew out a deep breath. “I tried to. I tried to sleep with my boyfriend in high school and we got all the way to the part where he slid partway inside me. He came before he broke my hymen and the whole experience just left me unimpressed. I broke my own hymen a few years ago when I mixed too much alcohol and a sex toy named Lord Pleasure. I didn’t name it that. So, I’m not a virgin. I’ve just never really had sex with anyone.”

The idea of her with another man sliding anything inside her made me see red but the idea of her pleasuring herself quickly soothed my feelings. My dick pulsed in my pants and I did my best not to move my hips. I wasn’t going to pressure her.

“You’re practically a virgin, Sonnie.” Cole sank back into the couch and scrubbed his hands down his face. “Fuck. You have nobusiness being here with us, not when we’re thinking the things we’ve been thinking.”

Sonnie stiffened on top of me. “You can take me home if you think I have no business being here. I’m not going to beg anyone to fuck me. If that’s even what we were talking about.”

I tightened my hold on her hips. “You’re not going anywhere. And you’re a long way from having to beg for anything.”

She put the ice cream down on the table just behind my head and crossed her arms over her chest. “You think I’m just some inexperienced girl? I can make myself come multiple times in a row with just my fingers. I’ve done everything else, plenty. I know what I like and what I don’t like. I just never wanted to try sex again until now. I don’t know why y’all are acting scandalized. Five minutes ago, I’m pretty sure we were going in the direction of group sex and now I’m somehow too innocent to fuck? Give me a break.”

Price winced. “Maybe don’t call it group sex.”

She rolled her eyes. “Fine. What would you like to call it?”

He sat forward and took her chin in his hand. Holding her face still, he leaned in. “Fucking you. Nothing group about it, Sonnie. It would be the three of us fucking you. At the same time. What makes you think you’re ready for that?”

I realized he was goading her. He was telling her what we might do to her to see her reaction, to judge whether or not she was open and ready for something like that. I hadn’t gotten that far in the thought process myself, about how we’d fuck her if we did, but the idea of it suddenly made me tremble. A buzz of energy flowed through me at the possibility of having Sonnie spread out between us. Somehow, if it was my best friends touching her, it was okay.

“I’m the one who started this. I kissed y’all.” Sonnie’s voice shook as she spoke, but I could tell it wasn’t fear by the way she licked her lips and shifted on my lap. Her nipples spearedthrough the thin t-shirt she wore and her pupils had blown out as soon as Price said we would fuck her.

“So, you’re telling us you want us to fuck you? I wish there was a way I could dress that up to make it romantic, but I don’t want to push you into something you don’t want. If you aren’t one thousand percent sure about this, we don’t need to do it.” Cole ran his hand through his hair. “You being a virgin, or almost a virgin, doesn’t turn me off. We’ve never done anything like this either, Sonnie. I don’t know what it’ll be like for you and I don’t want to push you too far. Your asshole boyfriend in high school already ruined sex for you for this long. I don’t want to be another asshole on your list of experiences.”

Losing her anger, Sonnie just looked turned on and a little exasperated with us. “I’m a grown woman. Am I nervous? Yes. There are three beautiful, sexy men in front of me and I’m just one woman. I’m also very aware I may not be good at sex. I’m also unsure of how this would even work. I understand how many places on my body a dick can go, but understanding and doing are two very different things. What I do know is I’m turned on, I liked kissing all three of you, a lot, and someone either needs to touch me or take me home so I can find Lord Pleasure and ride him until the sun comes up.”
