Page 70 of Three Pucks and a Baby

Grayson snorted to my left. “He can’t. He has a Vivian-specific pussy desire.”

While I chuckled, Theo tried annihilating us with a death glare. “I can assure you that’s not it.”

Clapping my palm on his shoulder, I said in a low voice, “You know, it’s okay to admit that you wish you could see her again.”

“That’s bullshit.”

With a shrug, I replied, “Fine. If you won’t admit it, I will. After gettin’ a taste, I wish I could’ve spent more time with her.” Winking at him, I added, “Both in and out of the bedroom.”

Theo stared incredulously at me. “You’re serious?”

“I sure as hell am.”

“But you’ve been solely on dick for the past year and a half,” Theo argued.

“Good of you to notice,” I mused.

He huffed a frustrated breath out of his nose. “My point is how can one pussy possibly be enough to turn you off dick?”

“I never said I was turned off of it. Just that I missed Vivian.”

Theo shook his head. “You’re crazy.”

“Maybe I am.” I tugged my uniform top over my head. “But not too insane to realize somethin’ fuckin’ phenomenal when I see it.” I gave him a pointed look. “And it wasn’t just Vivian’s pussy that was phenomenal.Shewas fuckin’phenomenal.”

Raising his fist in the air, Grayson replied, “Preach it, brother.”

“How can you say that when you barely spent any time with her?” Theo asked.

I shrugged. “What time I had with her was special. It was also enough to show me just how different she was.”

“Both of you are crazy,” Theo grumbled.

With a roll of his eyes, Grayson replied, “Yeah, well, you’re being a prick about Vivian.”

“I am not.”

“Bro, get some self-awareness,” Grayson replied. He rose off the stool to come stand before Theo. “You’ve been stewing the last month. You’re pissed thatsheturned us down on a repeat superstition performance. You’re Theo Novak, and women don’t tell you no.”

With a withering look, Theo countered, “Way to make it sound like I’m a jackass who doesn’t honor consent.”

“You know what I mean. It’s all your alpha bullshit. You wanted to be the one to turn her down, not vice versa.”

“If I’m pissed, it’s because it’s a pain in the ass trying to find another older woman for the season.”

“Considerin’ our last two victories, it doesn’t look like you need to,” I argued.

“With everything at stake, we can never be too careful.”

Crossing my arms over my just, I suggested, “You know, you could just go and beg Vivian for a second chance.”

“Absofuckinglutelynot,” Theo grunted as he hopped into his pants.

“And why not?”

“Because she made it very clear she didn’t want to keep on with our arrangement.”

“You could at least tell him why,” Grayson said.
