“No. Not unless you’re into the big tits, long hair, and killer body thing. What guy wants that?” Angel said, yanking everyone’s chain and earning a laugh from me.
Cypress pulled Kat closer, pressing her tits against his chest and kissing her lips while he stayed seated on the bike. He whispered something in her ear, and she tipped her head back and laughed.
“I hate her,” Suzy said. “I want to be that young again.”
“Can’t go back, girl. Do you really want to do your early twenties all over again?” I asked because I sure as hell didn’t.
“I want to start over right when I met your brother on the side of the road.”
“Yeah,” I said, remembering the night I met James.
The man swept me off my feet. At least, that’s what I told the kids. They never needed to know their father and I had a one-night stand, and I hadn’t wanted to see his mug after that. He’d chased, though, and I was powerless to resist his charms. Who was I kidding? He was relentless, and he kicked ass in bed. Charm was an entirely different story.
When Cypress climbed off his bike and stretched, I pictured him on stage, microphone in hand and the crowd cheering around him. He had it. That quality that commanded the attention of everyone in the room. The girls around me saw it; they were drawn in and couldn’t stop staring. At least they weren’t glaring at Kat anymore.
When he took off his sunglasses, I knew they recognized him immediately. You would have had to have been blind not to notice his eyes, and the band T-shirt was a dead giveaway.
“Is that…?” Suzy leaned forward and squinted.
“Can’t be.” Max’s mouth dropped open, and for the first time in forever, she was rendered speechless.
“Oh. My. God,” Mia whispered.
“Holy fuck.” Angel started to choke on her drink.
“Yep, bitches. It is.”
I sat back, watching them eye-fuck Cypress and completely forget about the girl on his arm.
“God, he’s even better looking in person.” Mia lifted her glass to her forehead, feeling the heat but not from the sun. “I couldn’t handle all that.”
“I’d sure as fuck try,” Max said quickly. “Hell, maybe I’d let him do my ass too.”
Suzy snorted, and a little bit of her drink dribbled down her chin. “Shit. I’m going to look a mess when I meet him.” She dabbed at the spots on her tank top and growled.
“What about your husbands?” I asked, crossing my arms in front of my chest, filled with satisfaction.
“They’re fine.” Max pointed behind her. “They’re over there.”
“Why didn’t you tell us she was dating Cypress McDermot?”
I cackled. “Because I couldn’t miss seeing your sour pusses when you realized what idiots you’ve been.”
“We’re not idiots. We’re careful.” Mia shot me a shut the fuck up look.
“You really think Kat wants a guy in his forties with a wife and a gaggle of kids running around?”
“Hell, right now, I don’t even want that when he’s this close.” Max waved her hand in front of her face, fanning herself. “He’s just so…”
“Yeah,” Suzy sighed. “All that.”
“What’s everyone looking at?” Anthony asked, coming up behind Max and following her line of sight.
“Max said she’d give you anal, Anth.” I laughed, and Max shot me daggers.
“Holy shit. Is that the dude from…” Anthony snapped his fingers together and closed his eyes in deep thought.
“Yep. He’s the lead singer of Wicked Innocence.”
