@gwendolynmarie6323: @fansofmaegarten not true. Someone posted a picture at her birthday party a few weeks ago and she was sitting on his lap in the background.
With a smug smile plastered on my lips, I thumbed out a response to the last comment.
@maegarten: @gwendolynmarie6323 I was consoling him because he couldn’t handle the attention being on someone other than himself for a night.
I set my phone down against the comforter, but almost as soon as I did it buzzed with a new notification.
@octobercalhoun has reposted your photo to his story.
Half a second later, a ping came through on my phone from none other than the devil himself and I threw my head back in laughter as I read his text.
Oh, naive October Calhoun.
I’ve got you right where I want you.

If you wanted my attention that badly, all you had to do was ask.
Mae
Is this some kind of booty call?
Depends whether or not it’s working.
A few minutespassed without a response. As embarrassing as it was to admit, I checked my phone every thirty seconds to see if she’d responded. Who would’ve guessed I’d be this hung up on her of all people?
The only thing I’d thought about in days was how much I wanted her to be laying in my bed again. Listening to her desperate moans as I buried myself inside her until she was shattering around my cock. And those lips. Man, I’d never get tired of kissing those lips. There was no way I’d survive on only the memory of having her once.
When I made that bet last weekend, I didn’t suspectIwould be the one contemplating whether or not it was worth losing. In my heart of hearts, I knew I should just forget about it and wait another couple days for this bet to be squashed. Stay locked away in the pool house until the end of the week, then flirt my way into having her come back to the pool house with me after Friday night dinner.
Setting my phone down on the kitchen island, I headed over to the couch, flopping down onto the cushions then staring up at the ceiling with a groan wondering how I had gotten myself into this situation in the first place. The last thing I wanted was to end this casual hook-up situation going on between Mae and I, especially since it was the friendliest we’d been with each other in… well, ever.
I had this fear, though, that if we kept doing this, someone’s feelings were going to get caught up in it—and even worse, they’d be mine.
My phone pinged from across the room and I hopped off the couch to grab it without a second thought.
Mae
It’s 11 p.m. and I’m already in bed.
October
I’ll make it worth your while.
Ehh, not sure I feel like giving away $10,000.
It took all of three seconds to decide I was going to throw this bet. And two of those seconds were spent mentally kicking myself in the balls for making the damn thing in the first place.
Fucking idiot.
Oh well. There was no sense in dwelling on it any longer seeing as my accountant would ream me out for it at our next meeting, anyway. Maybe then I’d let myself be pissed about it, but right now I was too consumed by the thought of licking Mae’s pussy to give a shit.
