“Separating bigs up the jeopardy of your relationship.”
“Yes,” Roxie agreed with Tripp.“We’ll call you back when we need you.”
“Or when Rox Out is horny.”
“Or that.”Roxie pointed at Tripp.“New York’s so close, booty calls are an option.”
“Takes less time to fly from New York to Boston than it does in LA traffic to get from CollCom to the Kintyres.”
“The house that belongs to everyone,” Roxie said.“Z and I have done that ride for sex.”
“For you, that ride is sex,” Tripp said.“You have a thing for car sex.”
“Maybe I do, but we’re not always traveling together.”
“Knox is a better gauge.”
Which got the subject under everyone’s inspection.
“Of what?”Knox asked.
“Can you keep the flame alight between CollCom and the Kintyres?”
“Him and Jane could have sex in the car too,” Honey offered.
“Knox likes to drive.”
Honey frowned.“Literally or figuratively?”
“Both,” Tripp said.
“It’s not prohibitive,” Roxie said.“Roux’s mounted Rourke plenty of times when he’s behind the wheel.But my beautiful Jane—”
“Mybeautiful Jane,” Knox said.
“Share and share alike,” Roxie sing-songed.“Is this track on repeat?Feels like I’ve sung this one before.”
“Our sex life is private,” Knox said.
The finality wasn’t quite final.
Roxie slipped Zairn’s phone out from between his hand and the kitchen island.“I’ll ask Jane.”
Tripp, Honey, and Cam laughed.
“Wow, you really are Mimi two point oh,” Cam said.“She’d be so proud.”
Roxie raised the phone to her ear and bounced off her stool.“Hey, honey!Quick question for you…”
As she wandered to the patio, Knox exhaled.
“Pissed?”Cam asked.
Knox took another deep breath.“It’s at times like this I…”
“Hate her?”
“Love her,” Knox said.“The trust they have… Reminds me RK would go to war for Jane.”
