“Maybe I’m tired of faking my orgasms, Dalton,” Leandra announced, and this was definitely not a conversation any of us should be having.“Maybe I’d rather splurge on a toy that can get the job done without any of the headaches afterwards.”

“Quit going home withbros, and then maybe you’ll finally get laid the right way,” he taunted.

“Okay, that’s enough,” I said.“How about we go back to my place, and then we can do some online shopping for whatever your little heart desires, Leandra?”

“I’m not going to let Dalton bully me,” she said heroically, trying so hard to stand up to him.“He’s also not my father.”

Dalton just snorted.“You know what?Do whatever the fuck you want, Leandra.If you want to take a walk on the wild side because your frat boys aren’t doing it for you any longer, then be my guest.However, Rya’s going nowhere.I’m not going to risk anything happening to her just because you want to be stupid and stubborn.”

“Dalton, c’mon,” I said quietly.“Be nice.”

“No, it’s fine, Rya,” Leandra said, sounding strong, but I knew better.“I should have known better than to come in here.I’ll just leave you guys to it.”

However, before she could leave, Dalton’s true colors were coming out.“You take one step out of that door, and I won’t be responsible for what happens next,” he threatened.“Neither of you are leaving here by yourselves, so I’ll drive you both home, and then come back here for my car later.”

“I can-”

“Not a fucking word,” he snapped, cutting Leandra off.“Now give me your fucking keys.”

I bit my tongue as Leandra handed over her keys, and even though they’d both deny it until their dying breath, they really just needed to hate-fuck each other and get it over with.Whatever was between these two, it was more than just simple dislike.They got under each other’s skin like nothing that I’d ever seen before.

The entire ride back to my place, no one said a word, and once Dalton dropped us off, a white car had pulled in immediately behind us, and I’d been able to recognize Ernie Higgins right away.He worked with Dalton at the shop, and I’d never had a bad interaction with the man.

After handing Leandra her keys back and promising to call me tomorrow, Dalton went back to work, leaving us standing on the sidewalk like a couple of scolded children.

“Are you ever going to tell me what is up with you two?”I finally asked.

“I would if I knew,” she answered sadly.

“Well, it’s nothing a couple of vibrators can’t fix,” I sighed.

“You’re not wrong,” she replied, ready to spend a fortune on wishes and fantasies.
