I smiled as I powdered my face. “There you go.”

“And I let him slide into second base and the man knows what to do with a woman’s nipple.”

Right.

Knowing Byron was a good kisser.

Awesome.

More when it came to my sister?

TMI.

“Maybe we should leave that there,” I suggested.

“The sex act is the most natural act on the planet, Luna. Every animal does it.”

“I know. But do you want me to wax poetic about how great Knox is at giving head?”

“I’m very pleased to know he doesn’t avoid the act,” she said, all uppity. “Men are constantly begging us to suck their dicks, and yet any of that business returned is perfunctory, if it happens at all.

I grinned as I drew in my brows.

“You’ve been a good sister, Luna.”

I stopped drawing my brows and sniffed. “Don’t make me cry while I’m doing my makeup.”

“Wait. You’re going out?”
