“I’d say I’m so glad you said that, because I was hoping we could switch men tonight.”
I groaned and fell backward on the bed. It was going to be a long day. But I had to say…I was very curious to meet the man that could apparently put up with Kristen. Because that girl was a lot.
“Just so you know,” Kristen said, as if this conversation wasn’t over. “Tim is an Olympic athlete. And that stamina in the bedroom? You’d definitely get your money’s worth.”
I stared at the ceiling. “So in this weird scenario I’m paying for your boyfriend to sleep with me?”
She laughed and jumped on the bed beside me. “It’s just a saying. Tim would do it for free. He has a thing for redheads. And brunettes. And blondes.”
I laughed. “It sounds like you need to keep him on a leash.”
“I bet he’d love that.”
Alina plopped down on the bed next to us. “Kristen, you are so weird sometimes. For the sake of everyone’s relationships, can we just agree not to hit on each other’s men for the remainder of the weekend?”
Kristen pouted. “But…”
“No buts.” Alina put her hand into the middle of the bed.
“Fine by me,” I said and put my hand on top of hers. I’d gotten jealous enough last night during James’ striptease. I wasn’t sure I could handle any more.
“I want to keep Mason’s abs to myself,” Bee said and put her hand on top of mine.
“He made me do it!” I protested.
She laughed. “I know. I’m just giving you a hard time.”
“Kristen,” Alina said. “Put your hand in.”
She groaned.
“Kristen.” Alina gave her a hard stare.
Kristen sighed. “Sober me agrees,” she said and put her hand on top of Bee’s. “But drunk me? I can’t control that girl. She’s wild.”
Yeah…that was not agreement. But it was probably the closest we’d get from her.
“No hitting on each other’s men on three,” Alina said.
We all said the words. But not perfectly at the same time, so the words all jumbled together incoherently.
I laughed as we threw our hands into the air. I was pretty sure we’d just promised each other absolutely nothing. And tonight was about to get weird.
Seduction - Chapter 29
Saturday
My hands were shaking as I put my earrings on. For some reason all I could see was myself staring back at me in that dingy hospital bathroom. As I’d tried to wash James’ blood off my hands. As I’d tried to tear my bloodstained wedding dress off.
Bee’s eyes met mine in the mirror. “Are you okay?”
I blinked again and saw myself in my bridesmaid dress. Safe. In the bridal suite of Hunter Creek Country Club. “Mhm.” My voice sounded squeaky and strange. I finally slipped the last earring on. I needed to get myself under control. It would be easy to blame my crazy hormones. But…it was more than that. Each hour that passed brought us closer and closer to the wedding. Which brought us closer to tonight. And just the thought made my throat feel tight.
Bee leaned against the bathroom vanity and stared at me. “Does Rob have any crazy exes that you’re aware of?”
“What?”
“Of all the girls that Rob dated, are any of them legit insane?”
