I added ‘moving to the moon’ to this week’s to-do list because there was no way I would set foot back in Nashville, or anywhere else I would run into someone from the Nighthawks.
“Sorry, squirt. Let me get to the car, and I’ll call you back.”
The phone disconnected, and I rolled over, burying my face in the pillows to muffle my screams. I was still impersonating an ostrich when the phone rang. I answered it and muttered, “Hello,” without moving.
The sound of his car starting filled the air before he said, “I’m sorry, Marcie.”
He sounded contrite, but that didn’t change a thing.
“I’m going to kill you when I get back to Nashville.”
He chuckled. “I’ll be sure to hide the knives.”
“I hate you.”
I didn’t, not really. Well, I did at the moment, but he was my closest friend. My only friend, other than Katie, and I worked for her. I guess I worked for Gavin, too, but… God, I had no life.
“I know. I love you too. Now, what’s this about getting off without help?”
I groaned and buried my face in the pillows again.
“I had an orgasm in the middle of a roomful of people.”
“I’m sorry, love. I didn’t catch that.”
The jerk. He heard me. I know he did.
“I’m not repeating it. You heard me, and if you didn’t, that’s on you.”
“Why were you touching yourself…”
“Gavin! It was a fantasy. A very vivid fantasy. I wasnottouching myself in front of people.”
“Damn. It’s been a while since I had a fantasy that good.”
“So, it’s happened to you?” I asked, hopeful I wasn’t the only one.
“Yeah.” I sighed only to groan when he continued, “When I was a teenage boy and a breezy day could make me hard.”
“Oh, my god,” I whined hard, my voice bouncing in a cry-free sob.
“Tell me what happened.”
“Well, there are these two guys.”
“Damn mama, get it.”
“I’m not getting anything. And I’m pretty sure they’re together.”
“That’s right up your alley. Depending on what they like, they might be right up my alley.”
Green tickled the edge of my vision, and I growled, “Can you please focus?”
“Sorry. Go ahead.”
“Anyway, they’re hot as the sun and the big one…”
“Wait, big how?”
