“Tell me, Sean. How do you fuck your student and not mean it?” I say angrily.
“Don’t be like that. I know you need me, Jessa. Where are you even living? You left most of your things here. I know you’re coming back to me.”
“I’m not coming back. I don’t want to be with you, and I’m living somewhere else.”
“Come back home now and I won’t be mad,” Sean says with all of his arrogance. It’s what initially attracted me to him, and now I hate it.
“No, Sean. We’re broken up. You’re not my boyfriend, and you’re certainly not my fucking daddy anymore.”
“Don’t make me lose my temp—” I hang up the phone and slide down the side of the building, my ass connecting to hot as fuck concrete, making me jolt up.
There’s a slight gasp to my left, and I’m mortified to see Penny standing there with a vape to her lips.
“Um, I can act like I didn’t hear anything,” she says sheepishly, and I wave her off.
“It’s fine, I’m not embarrassed about what I like.”
She smiles at me and leans against the wall next to me. “You know, if that’s what you’re in to, there’s a place called Avalon.” I tilt my head at her, and she continues. “It’s a sex club, pretty posh, membership only. But they are having an event this weekend to try and get some new members.”
I blink at her. “And you know this because you go?”
“I haven’t grown a pair of lady balls big enough to go yet, but you should check it out. Nothing like getting over an ex like getting under someone new.”
I smile at her and nod. “I think it would help. I mean I’m over Sean. I think I was way before I found him cheating, that was the thing that just pushed me to leave, you know?”
“But you miss the lifestyle?” she says, more curious than anything.
I shrug my shoulders before speaking. “I like being taken care of in that sense. It’s been hard being on my own.”
“Then you should go! If no one catches your eye, you can just leave. But who knows, maybe you’ll meet someone interesting.”
“Maybe I’ll check it out.”
“You’ll have to report back if you do,” Penny adds in and I laugh.
“Of course.”
“Now, can we go get a sandwich? I’m fucking starving,” Penny whines and I laugh nudging her shoulder.
“Yeah, let’s go.”

I’m at the copier, minding my own fucking business when I notice Tabitha strutting her stuck-up ass around the office and heading toward Aiden’s.
For someone who seems to be into my half-brother, she sure does spend a lot of time trying to get Aiden’s attention.
It irritates me.
Luckily for my irrational jealousy, he isn’t in his office, and Tabitha storms off, her nose high in the air as her heels click and her ponytail swishes behind her.
“She gone?” a soft voice says behind me, scaring the shit out of me.
“Fuck,” I whisper to myself as I clutch a hand to my chest.
Aiden laughs and his hand squeezes my shoulder before retreating. “Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.”
“That’s okay,” I say softly, holding on to the copier as the papers shoot out. “Not a fan of Tabitha?”
