She bristled, throwing him an exasperated look. “We’ve dated on and off for months.”

The look on Ash’s face suggested otherwise.

My hand landed on Xavier’s thigh. “Xavier is definitely off the market,” I confirmed.

“I guess there’s always the orgy rooms,” Carly continued, smiling as if she didn’t comprehend my words.

“Let me clarify the situation for you.” I smiled before my lips dropped and I became deadly serious. “Xavier’s penis belongs to me. The only person who will be enjoying said penis is me. Are we clear?”

Her eyes bulged and Xavier chuckled, shaking his head in amusement.

“I’m glad we clarified the ownership of your dick,” Jordan snarked.

“I had no doubt who it belonged to,” Xavier commented dryly. “He’s the villain in our story who breaks hearts because shoes no longer fit.”

Jordan stared at his friend as if he was mad, but I snaked my arm through his and leaned against his shoulder, smiling.

“Have you infected him with your crazy?” Jordan demanded.

“He’s right. My shoes don’t fit anymore. His penis has taken responsibility.”

Jordan huffed out a laugh and smiled at the ceiling as if I couldn’t see it when he looked away.

“Admit it.” I giggled. “I’m growing on you.”

“Like a fungus?” he queried.

“Like an annoying little sister or cousin you can’t get rid of because they’re related to you.”

“I guess since you’re married to one of my oldest friends, that’s technically what you are now,” he grumbled, wrinkling his nose in disgust, but his eyes were twinkling.

“Fucker,” I retaliated.

“Bitch.”

“Children!” Xavier pinched the bridge of his nose. “Seriously?”

“He started it,” I moaned.

Xavier’s lips twitched and Jordan’s smile could be seen in the reflection of the window.

The rest of the drive was filled with the men chatting about another property they’d seen coming onto the market in Scotland.

“I’ve always fancied the thought of a highland retreat with roaring open fires and free-flowing whiskey,” Jordan said. “We could use it as a hunting or nature retreat during the day.”

Carly eyed Megan. “Is Jordan off the market as well?” she asked.

Megan stiffened since there was no definition to their relationship. Jordan held all the power.

“For the purposes of your enquiry, Carly, the answer is yes,” Jordan snapped. He rolled his eyes at Xavier. Their lives seemed to consist of crazy women throwing themselves at them. I was sick seeing women eying up my husband with barely concealed lust, even though he ignored them.

“Here we are,” Ash announced a while later.

After all these weeks hearing about it, my heart beat double time as Midnight Manor came into view.

I spun in my seat to stare out the window. The club was an old manor house that looked like a setting forPride and Prejudice. “Does Mr. Darcy live here?” I queried.

“I’m sure that could be arranged,” Xavier said while typing on his phone.
