Benny shrugged. “That’s what video chat sex is for.”

Noah’s face got bright red, and TJ gagged. Sometimes I thought Benny said shit like that to annoy TJ, but I roomed next door to Benny last night. I definitely heard some shit when I was trying to sleep that I didn’t need to hear. He and Rox might be the horniest couple on the team. I wished I didn’t know that.

“Dinah doesn’t like that,” Noah said, but he was still beet red.

Benny chewed thoughtfully. “Then get her a new vibrator. That worked with Rox.”

TJ looked like he wanted to throw up.

I high-fived Benny. “Oh, co-sign, dude. I love using vibrators on women.”

“Right?” Benny agreed. “It’s so hot!”

“The hottest,” I agreed.

“They beg for your cock,” Benny laughed.

“It’s the best,” I agreed again.

TJ downed his scotch faster.

Noah’s eyes were wide with shock. “I don’t think D even has one of those.”

I tipped back my head with a laugh. “Yeah, she does.”

Noah shook his head. “No way, dude.”

“How do you know?” I asked.

“I don’t,” he admitted and chewed his lip thoughtfully. “We’re kinda vanilla.”

“Nothing wrong with vanilla. You like what you like,” I said.

“Check her top drawer when you get home,” Benny said. “No way she doesn’t have one when we’re on the road all the time. I had to get Rox a new one because she broke her last one.”

TJ gnashed his teeth. “How can one wash their brain out? I don’t want to know that.”

I took a swig of my scotch and felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I couldn’t help the smile quirking up on my lips at the selfie from Veronica. Her black hair now had dark purple at the ends, and she was sitting on her bed wearing my Bulldogs t-shirt. I don’t know what it was about women wearing my t-shirts or my hoodies, but this possessive streak in me always loved it. It would be even better if she was wearing my jersey again.

VERONICA: Does it look okay? I think she went too dark.

ME: Banging sweets!

VERONICA: You sure about going to this wedding tomorrow?

ME: Can’t wait.

TJ kicked me again. “You and V make up?”

I ate more of my dinner. “Yeah, we did, for now.”

“What do you mean?” TJ asked, his hazel eyes narrowing at me.

I sighed. “Me being away all the time’s hard for her.”

The three other guys nodded.

“Yeah, it’s tough on them, but if she loves you, she’ll make it through,” Noah said.
