“Predictable and curious.”

“Clearly.” She sighs. “One. There aren’t many options in a tourist town and I live with my aunt, so…there you have it.”

“Jesus, when was the last time you had sex?” I ask.

She shakes her head. “That’s two questions, I don’t think so. It’s your turn. Truth or dare?”

“Truth,” I say, still wanting to know the answer to my last question.

“You and Rupert are really close. Have you two ever…done anything together?”

I sit up in the water and lift my brow. “Are you asking sexually?”

“Yeah, just curious.”

“We haven’t, but I’d do anything for him. So if he said kiss me or I might die, I’d kiss him.”

“So you’ve never done a threesome or anything like that?”

“Oh, no, you don’t. You didn’t answer my second question, so I’m not answering yours.”

She rolls her eyes. “Fine, if I answer your second, will you answer mine?”

“Yes, but you have to answer first.”

“It’s been over a year,” she says, as if that isn’t the worst news I’ve ever heard. Over a year since she’s had sex. How does she even walk? I’d be bedridden, in need of some serious sexual attention and I wouldn’t care from who. “You don’t have to act so stunned.”

“This is not acting. This is…this is my pure reaction. Jesus, are you okay? Do you want to just hop on my dick right now and have your way with it? I’ll close my eyes and not engage.”

“I don’t need your dick, Theo. I have my own sources of pleasure.”

My mouth falls open, and I can see that devilish glint in her eyes.

“Are you trying to make me hard?”

“No.” She swims around me, circling like I’m her prey. At this point, I’ll play beta to her alpha any day. “Okay, now answer my question. Have you ever had a three-way?”

“Just for the record, I want to say that this is bordering on X-rated, but I’ll go with it.” I try to reach for her as she circles me, but she pulls away. “I have not had a three-way with Rupert…”

She stops swimming and her eyes widen. “But you have had a three-way before.”

I just shrug my shoulders because I have had a few, but that’s not something she needs to know.

“Wow.” She stares me down. “You’re a bit of a slut, aren’t you?”

I laugh. “When I was younger, yes. Now, not so much. And just to put your mind at ease, I was tested recently and everything came back clean.”

“And why would I want to know that?” she asks.

“Because even though we’re friends, there could be benefits that go along with our friendship and I thought it would be nice for you to know that things are all clean on my end.”

“There will be no benefits.”

“Okay.” I laugh. “Truth or dare, Gossy?”

“Truth.”

I nod. “Too scared for a dare, okay.”
