“Other than being the horniest person in two galaxies?” She laughs and twists her hair around her fingers, coiling curls that stay, miraculously. “Nope.”

“So if I wanted to enjoy three Sian men at once, how much would I need?”

I swear I hear Margot whisper “greedy” under her breath, but Sari says, “Like… eight pills a day should do it.”

“Only eight?” I look at Greta. “I thought it would be more.”

“We don’t talk about what she got up to that one infamous week.” Hannah puts her finger on my chin and pushes me back to looking at the circled group. “But if you want to take your three cold boys at once, eight will be enough. You can take ten pills if it would put your mind at ease.”

Margot pulls up her screen and taps in a few things before turning it to me. The absolute monstrosity of a dildo that appears on it, spinning like it’s on display, makes me blink.

“I can have this made up if you’d like to try it out ahead of time. Just to be sure.” It’s three merged into one… it probably would do the trick.

“That’s okay, I think I’d rather work up to all of them the… less terrifying way.”

“Figured I’d offer.” Margot winks at me like she never expected me to want it.

“I’ll take it!” Nina licks her lips.

Hannah leans close. “She likes taking things home to scare her mate… I secretly think he gets a kick out of it.”

“How many are you taking right now?” Margot asks me, back to tapping things out on that tablet.

“Two a day. I wasn’t sure what the limits were.”

“I sent a case to the outpost. You take as much as you need to feel comfortable, got it?”

“Yeah. And thanks.”

“Don’t think my motives are pure. I’ve seen the way you look at those poles.”

“I don’t plan on coming to work for you. Three will beplentyfor me.” I can’t imagine wanting more, but I’m very glad those who want it can have it.

“I wasn’t going to hire you to dance… Though, that is always available if you want the stage slots. I had planned to ask you to give some workshops.”

“What’s going on?” Ochi asks, eyes narrowed as she looks back and forth between us.

“Little miss acrobat here used to teach pole dance classes, among other things, back on Earth.”

“Acrobat?” Leah’s brows pinch. “I think the only one brave enough for acrobatics right now is Kimba.”

“Not right now,” Sari corrects her. “Not for several months at least.”

“I taught little kids tumbling and a little bit of trapeze, adult dance and yoga, and yes, pole classes all the way up to senior citizens, so I can definitely work things out based on skill and comfort level.”

“I want a demonstration!” Hannah claps her hands once and stands up, holding them out to me. “Nothing crazy, just gimmie something fun.”

I almost tell them that I’ll do it next time, but they all look so excited…

“I’m going to have to shed a layer to hang onto that.”

“No one in this room is going to feel weird if you need to take your pants off.”

Margot and Iarethe only ones wearing pants.

“Alright. You asked for it.” But I hesitate again… Then decide not to make a big deal about it.

I slip off my long sleeve and shimmy out of my pants, and someone whistles.
