“This one?” Delaney laughed, holding the phone out for both of us to see.
I groaned, dropping back into the couch, my mortification complete. “It was just a silly picture!”
“And now it’s going to be a silly profile picture. The guys will love it!”
“The only guys you’re going to attract are horn dogs,” I snapped. “I swear to God, I will disown you if you do this!”
“And upload!” Delaney grinned. “There. Now we just sit back and wait for the dates to start rolling in.”
She turned the computer for me to see. And there I stood, dildo in hand as I pretended to pleasure myself with it.
“My parents will see that,” I groaned.
“I don’t see how. They aren’t likely to go on the site.”
But I knew better. “In this town, I give it until dinnertime.”

The door chimedas we walked into Seafood & More. It didn’t smell like fish, and the restaurant was practically dead. Not that it would be hopping right after breakfast.
“Is the food good here?”
“Not sure. Never really tried it.”
“So, you come to a seafood restaurant, but you don’t eat anything?”
“Like I said, I’m just here to pick up my winnings,” he grinned, leading me into the backroom.
There was a man passed out at the bar, his face smooshed against the smooth wood surface. Jeff walked up to him, slapping him on the back. “Hey, Colt. Good night?”
Colt? As in?—
Green eyes met mine, and then he was moving, leaping off his stool and throwing himself at me. I shuffled back a step, but it was too late. His fist hit my jaw, and then we fell to the ground.
I rolled over just as he swung again, this time hitting the floor. I jumped to my feet, about to take off, when he grabbed my ankle and took me down.
“Get the fuck off me!” I shouted, kicking out at him. This was definitely not my finest fight.
“You fucking prick! I’m gonna kick your ass!”
“It’s been ten years! Get over it!”
“Ten years isn’t long enough to let me forgive your sorry ass!”
A loud whistle broke through the fight and we both stopped, looking up at Jeff.
“Well, isn’t this interesting. You know, I forgot about this whole rivalry thing. Maybe that’s because you were with my sister for so long,” he said pointedly.
“We broke up a long time ago. Get over it.”
“But you didn’t break up with my sister,” Colt hissed. “I swear to God, I’m gonna chop off your dick and feed it to you!”
“She wanted it!” I shouted, kicking out again, this time catching his face.
“She wanted it?” he spat. “Did you really just fucking say that to me?”
