“It’s an easy fix. No need to bother him, and then one of the two plumbers we have in town when I can get it done in a few hours. It would take twice as long.”

Elliot shakes his head at me. “Nah, I think there’s more to it than that. I think that since you’re fixing her pipes, you’re hoping she’ll return the favor.”

I glare at him as I turn the wrench one last time. “Fuck you.”

He barks out a laugh. “So, I’m right?”

Standing tall again, I wipe the sweat from my forehead. “No, you’re not. I am simply helping her out. There’s no ulterior motive here.”

Elliot drops his hands from the showerhead and reaches for a rag, wiping them off. “You know, you might crack a tooth from how hard you’re clenching your jaw right now, trying to pretend that you don’t want her.”

“I’m not…I don’t…”

Elliot rolls his eyes. “Rhonan, I hate to tell you this, but you’re a horrible liar.” He sighs heavily. “Looks like I’m losing another friend to a woman.”

“You’re not losing Fletcher and Henley, Elliot. And don’t worry about me. I don’t plan on dating anytime soon.”

“So, would you still be willing to go with me to get my dick pierced then?”

I hold a hand up. “Uh, I was never willing to do that.”

“Come on, Rho. I need someone else there.”

“Why? No one wants to see you get a needle shoved through your penis, man…respectfully.”

“Uh… I guess this was not the best conversation to walk in on.” Vienna’s voice comes from the door. She’s standing there with her hair piled up on her head, wearing a green tank top and a pair of denim shorts that are covering far more of her than the last pair I saw her wearing.

“Vienna, let me ask you a question,” Elliot starts.

“Okay…”

“If you wanted to, let’s say, get your nipples pierced… Would you want a friend to go with you?”

She darts her eyes over to me, but I hope she can’t see the thoughts going through my head before she focuses back on Elliot. Viennahas perfect-sized breasts, and the idea of a barbell going through her perfect nipples is making my dick swell in record time. I don’t think I’d ever be able to stop playing with her nipples if they were pierced.

You don’t want to play with them though, right, Rhonan?

Luckily, Vienna clears her throat while cautiously responding, pulling me from my thoughts. “Well, I don’t have any desire to do that. However, I did go with one of my friends to get her nipples pierced because she was afraid of going by herself. So, I can see your side of things.”

Elliot holds a hand out to me. “See?”

“Nipples are much different than your dick,” I fire back.

Vienna laughs behind her hand. “And yeah, sorry, Elliot, but I have to agree with Rhonan on this one. If she had asked me to go with her to get her clit pierced, I don’t think I would have gone.”

I arch a brow at her, surprised. “Thank you.”

“Of course. Besides, it doesn’t look like you’re done fixing my shower yet, so I’d better not piss you off or rub you the wrong way before you’re finished.”

Fuck, I’d let you rub me any way you want, woman.

I groan as that thought swirls in my brain and then turn my back to her and Elliot so they can’t see my dick start to swell again in my shorts. “We should only be about another ten minutes. The hard part of installing the new connector and sealing it with tape is done, so now I just need to put on the new head.”

“I’m glad it was an easy fix. I can’t thank you enough, Rhonan.”

I glance at her over my shoulder. “Again, it’s not a big deal. Elliot and I will be out there in a little bit. Is Roscoe still with Ellis in the backyard?”

Vienna nods. “Your backyard, yes. Joanne’s watching them while I came in here to check on you two.”
