We all took sips of our wine.
“Okay, so since we’re taken and taken by the best of the best, we need to find men for you and you,” Harlee said as she pointed to Everly and me.
Everly shook her head and then let out a squeak, “No thanks.”
And once again, every pair of eyes spun to her.
“Do tell.” Talia purred.
Everly’s cheeks went from a light pink to a darker one.
“Everly.... What aren’t you telling us?” Tatum asked.
Everly looked at all of us and then sighed, reached for her phone, hit some buttons, and then brought the phone to her ear.
We all seemed to sit there with bated breath, until a slow smile spread across Everly’s face, “Hey, back.”
She was quiet, and then she bit her lip and nodded.
Then she said, “So the reason that I’m calling is that Harlee said that the girls needed to find men for Lila and me.”
She was quiet again, no doubt listening to whoever she had called.
Then she nodded, pulled her phone away from her ear, and then hit a button, “Okay, Deacon, you're on speaker.”
And then we all heard it.
A voice that seemed to be that southern rasp that makes your panties dampen.
“She’s my Everly. Try to set her up with someone else... I was raised to never hit a woman... but she’s told me all about y’all’s men... I don’t think I have anything else to add to that... do I?”
Even though I wasn’t in the wrong, I blushed.
No words were spoken.
Then we all heard, “Right. Babe, off.”
Everly hit the speaker button, then brought the phone back to her ear. “K.”
She listened for more, and then she smiled widely. “K. Miss you too.”
As soon as she hung up, we all asked, as if it had been choreographed.... “Picture.”
And at the sight of the man that Everly had shown us... We immediately bombarded her with questions.
He was dark-haired, blue-eyed, tats for days, and pierced in both ears.
Pillowy lips.
A hard jaw...
I whistled.
Everly sighed.
“If I wasn’t madly in love with Carter...” Harlee trailed off.
“If I wasn’t hopelessly enamored with Garrick...” Tatum too trailed off.
