“But like you said, if he doesn’t know what he’s doing, he’s the only one having a good time. She’ll likely never want to see him again. One-and-done guys are typically selfish and boring. Or just really inexperienced, but that’s not an excuse.”
“I agree,” Katie stated. “Justine?”
“Yeah, sure. What you said.”
“Isn’t she cute when she’s blushing?” Katie teased.
Xavier nodded. “Adorable.”
She shot him the finger, surprising herself, and had Xavier and Katie laughing.
Xavier followed up with, “I’m sorry. I’m trying to be a good guest by answering Katie’s questions.”
“Whatever.”
“No, he’s got a unique point of view. Continue, Xavier.”
Xavier gave Katie a warm smile, and Justine felt the wattage of it and needed to cool down. “Look, every guy wants to be thought of as larger than average, because people make such a big deal about size. But a man who’s interested in pleasing his partner is more about skill than his anatomy. It’s, what’s the expression? It’s not the size of your boat but the motion in the ocean?”
“Oh, I like that.” Katie nodded.
“You would,” Justine said, still not understanding how Xavier had become part of this conversation.
“You will too once you have rockin’ waves.”
Xavier raised a brow.
“She’s in between boyfriends.”
“I know. She’s waiting until she’s ready.”
“Ha! Take that.” Justine pointed at Katie. “Xavier understands all about needing space.”
Katie answered, “Which is why we’re hanging out here watching naked men wave their flags around instead of hanging at a bar where we could be meeting showers and growers.”
Xavier choked on his drink.
“Hey, Xavier, do you want to watch someSpartacuswith us? Or would you rather talk to Justine about whatever it was you wanted to talk about?”
Xavier got a strange look on his face as he looked from the TV to Justine. “You know what? I think watching this show with you sounds fascinating. My conversation can keep. Justine, are you comfy down there on the floor?”
Katie patted the spot between them on the couch. “Yeah, there’s plenty of room to join us. You can sit right between Xavier and me.”
It would be a super tight fit. Something Justine couldn’t handle just now. “Nope, I’m fine. You sure you want to watch this? It’s pretty violent.”
“And sexual,” Katie had to add.
Xavier’s grin made her want to sigh. “Sounds perfect. Besides, what could be better than watching gratuitous sex and violence with two gorgeous women? Wait until I tell my friends how I spent my Friday night.”
“With two hot babes and a lot of swinging dick,” Katie added.
Xavier chuckled. “Exactly.”
Justine groaned. “Screw the ice tea. I think this calls for beer.”
CHAPTER 13
Despite the embarrassing way the night had started, Justine ended up having a ton of fun with her friends. Katie kept saying whatever shocking thing popped into her head, and Justine knew it was her way of testing Xavier, to see how he’d respond.
