“Whatever. I’ve seen the way Liam and Fletcher follow you around,” Keira teases with a smile. “They’d let you walk them around on leashes if you wanted.”

Mia puts her finger to her lip like she’s considering it. “Maybe the next party I will.”

“The only one who would be wearing a leash in my relationship is me.” I lean back in my chair as I consider how my guys might treat me as their pet. I wouldn’t mind trying it out. My cheeks heat. “Though Cam might let me experiment.”

“That’s it, girlboss.” Mia laughs. “Cam looks like he might be a happy little submissive with the right touch.”

Flames must be coming out of my head. My face feels way too hot as I avoid their knowing looks.

“Okay, next week, what about Sunday or Wednesday?” Keira looks at her calendar on her phone.

“I think I can work that out.” Mia flashes me a grin, and Keira turns to look at me expectantly.

“I’ll find out which works better for the guys.”

“Yay!” Keira practically wiggles in her chair in happiness.

Damon might not like the shift in plans, but he won’t be here. It’s only one week. The rest of the cast returns from the break, and it’s time to focus again. I’m determined to concentrate on the play this time.

The hour leftof rehearsal flies by as we discuss how to fix the Othello/Desdemona problem I was having. Mark, Mia, and Isit down separately and really talk it through. Working with Mia and Mark to help me figure out the problem was Keira’s idea while she works with the other cast members.

Neither Chase nor Hawk are here tonight. About fifteen minutes before the end of rehearsal, Hawk, Cam, and Damon walk into the space. They’re quiet and take seats in the audience, trying not to be disruptive, but I don’t think those three can go anywhere and not be a distraction.

The girls are the most easily distracted by them. Not Mia or Keira, but Sophie and Crystal act like they’re auditioning to be the guys’ girlfriends. Tits and ass pushed out. They’re a little louder. A little poutier. A little more annoying.

The guys sit and watch me like the predators they are. The back of my neck tingles, and I can’t wait to leave with them.

I need to start using my writing hand for notes. It’s been frustrating just using my phone. Last break, I unwrapped my hand in the bathroom. It’s time. The cuts are closed, and the air will be good for the wounds.

When Damon notices my hand, his eyes narrow on it like he’s going to make me fix it. A little rush goes through me. What would he do if I didn’t obey him? If I forced him to make me do it?

I like it when he holds me down and makes me take every inch of him.

“I never imagined a day I’d see EvanAnn distracted from her play by dick.”

My cheeks heat at Mark’s words as I turn to face him and Mia again. Mia struggles to keep from laughing, but then just releases it. Keira turns to check on us before rolling her eyes and returning to what she’s doing with the others.

“I mean, it must be good quality dick to be that distracting,” Mia says with a conspiratorial nudge to Mark.

“Unfortunately, I’ll never know,” Mark laments. “They seem to be focused on one girl in particular, and there’s no competing for their attention.”

I clear my throat, trying to take charge. “Are you two finished?”

“Probably.” Mia chuckles.

Mark smiles. “Sorry, it’s just nice to see your feathers finally ruffled. You’re an amazing director and usually so focused and career-driven that I worried you’d be hard to work with.”

My mouth opens and closes, but I don’t know what to say.

Mia laughs again. “Please say you can come and hang out with us to watch movies at Evan’s this week, Mark.”

He arches an eyebrow at her. “What did I tell you about propositioning me?”

Mia rolls her eyes. “You’d be fun to hang out with. That’s all I’m saying. Besides, I’ll get plenty of dick this weekend. You’d be so jealous.”

Mark chuckles. “I get my fair share of dick.”

“Evan, Keira, and I are getting together to keep Evan company while her main dick goes to college.” Mia glances over at the guys and gives them a little finger wave.
