My phone chimed again.
—Is she permitted to fuck me?
I didn’t respond.
“Is Jinx included in my list of options?” Laikyn inquired.
I met her gaze across the glittering water. “Do you want to fuck Jinx?”
“I damn sure wouldn’t turn him down,” she said with a laugh as she casually moved farther away. “I was just wondering.”
I got the feeling she was tormenting me on purpose. I didn’t know this woman. Not really. Only from the reports Jinx had provided over the years and what I’d seen on social media and the society pages. As I said, I’d kept tabs on her, feeding this insane addiction. Unfortunately, at least for me, I liked what I’d learned. But nothing had prepared me for meeting the woman face to face. She was sassy and sexy, and her zest for life was palpable. I even liked that she asked ridiculous questions about personal things. There wasn’t another woman like her, of that I was certain.
Laikyn Quinn was the opposite of her mother. She didn’t seek the spotlight; she clung to the shadows. What little I’d seen, she blended into the background as though preferring to remain on the fringes. I understood that need because I felt it, too. People knew my name. Some even talked about me as though I was this mythical creature who could make miracles happen. I was nothing more than a man who lacked a conscience and carried a broken moral compass. I wouldn’t apologize for who I was because the world I lived in had made me this way.
“Have you and Jinx ever fucked a woman at the same time?”
The question caught me off-guard, but again, it shouldn’t have. I suspected Laikyn was going to keep me on my toes. She didn’t hide her curiosity. She should’ve been a journalist because she had this fierce ability to get to the heart of the matter.
“Once or twice,” I admitted, ignoring my phone when it chimed.
“Mmm.” She dipped her head under the water and came up with her hair slicked back. “That could be fun, too.”
Yeah, my dick was definitely in agreement. The fucker.
“Have you and Jinx ever fucked each other?”
This time, I censored my response, choosing instead to issue a warning. “Laikyn…”
She smiled. “I thought so.”
I glanced over to see Jinx grinning down at his phone. He wasn’t helping the situation one fucking bit.
“It’s a good thing I brought my vibrator,” Laikyn mused, moving toward us.
I groaned.
She chuckled. “You know, we could use this as an opportunity to ease the sexual frustration.”
“No,” I said fiercely.
She didn’t appear fazed by my tone. “Why? You worried you’ll get attached? Yeah, that would suck for you, Rule. I’ve got nothing to give.”
It wasn’t only the words she said but the way she said them that captured my attention. As though she genuinely believed she had nothing to offer. I didn’t detect any deceit in her tone. In fact, she sounded a lot like I did when I explained to the women I fucked that I wouldn’t be spending the night or coming back for more.
“Are you worried you’re too old for me?” she asked, grinning as she turned to go back in the other direction. “Too close to your golden years, Rule?”
I didn’t bother responding. My dick was hard enough to pound steel spikes, and thanks to the lights above, I doubted she could miss it.
“That goes for you, too,” she challenged Jinx. “How oldareyou, anyway?”
“He’s thirty-three.”
She shrugged one shoulder. “Notasold, I guess.”
Her gaze swung to my face. “So, do you, like, have gray hair down there? That’s okay if you do. I’ll keep my eyes closed when your dick is in my mouth.”
I groaned. She was killing me.
