My cheeks heated. Were they talking about the kitchen incident?

No, the house had been empty. Well, I thought it was, anyway.

“Oooh,” Laya teased. “Look at her face. I believe this is the first time I’ve seen her blush.”

I shot her a narrow-eyed glare. But she was right. Things rarely, if ever, embarrassed me.

“My goodness, she’s human like the rest of us,” Cali joked. “It only took her getting a good fucking for it to happen.”

“Seriously, Cali. Enough with the fucks,” I whispered, glancing around the area near us. “We’re in a restaurant.”

“Oh no, the robot is back.” Laya clutched her hands to her chest.

“If I didn’t love you so much, I’d shoot you.”

“But alas—” She gave a dramatic sigh that made me smile. “I’m your baby sister, and you can’t help but love me.”

“Dumbass,” I muttered, shaking my head.

“Wrong, she is more than that,” Cali countered.

“Meaning?” Laya frowned.

Cali gave her a bright smile before saying, “You’re a dumbass virgin.”

“I’m selective.” Laya glared at Cali. “Unlike the two of you.”

Not taking the bait, Cali said, “A little too much. I cannot believe you rejected that A-lister who asked you out. Wouldn’t it be great to say a Hollywood movie star popped your cherry?”

Cali would never forgive Laya for turning down the current super Hollywood heartthrob. He had been filming in Prague and saw Laya coming out of the city’s mainlibrary. He approached her as she entered the nearby park to ask her out, and she declined.

Her logic was that since we lived in hiding, any connection to someone notable was bad. Cali, on the other hand, lost her shit. In her eyes, it was a chance to live on the wild side and have an adventure. Laya disagreed.

“Time to get over it, Cali,” I said.

“I wouldn’t have said no.” Cali scrunched her nose along with her mouth into a pout.

“Yes, we know.” I rolled my eyes.

“At least no one died because they took my virginity.” Her pout turned into a snort.

“No,” Laya corrected. “Vik eliminated him because he was assigned to protect her, not fuck her.”

I covered my face with my hands. “Seriously, you two. Enough with the fucks.”

Under Vik’s care, he clarified that we were a commodity and that our virginities were prizes to use against us. He never cared if we had lovers or went out, but the rule was to wait until we were twenty.

Except I decided to seduce my guard at the age of eighteen. It was around the anniversary of the massacre, and the grief of losing my parents had overwhelmed me.

The guard, more than ten years my senior, needed no seduction. He obliged me after one of my sparring sessions with my trainer.

However, we’d barely finished when another guard walked in on us. The rest was chaos and a world of lectures on making better choices.

Maybe the sparring session and then fucking my guard had set me on the path of what I enjoyed with Eli so much.

“You’re one to talk.” Laya lifted a brow at Cali. “You fell for a pretty face with no skills.”

Cali covered her face with her hands. “Don’t remind me. What a wasted experience. He couldn’t tell the difference between my clit and my bellybutton. His brother made up for it, so I shouldn’t complain.”
