“Glad to see you’re on my side,” I sneer. “Now I’m even more worried.”
“Don’t be,” she assures me with a warm smile. “I found out via one of the theme party organizers I’ve befriended, the men at Dark Compulsion are domineering alphas—”
“What does that even mean?”
“It means, your job is to surrender and let go.”
“Oh.”
“Do this for yourself, Jules,” Syd continues. “For one night, forget about everything that’s weighing heavy on you and spend the evening with a man who will do all sorts of lewd things to your body and blow your mind.”
“Oh,” I repeat because, Holy Jesus, that sounds so wrong, yet so right.
I chew the inside of my mouth, pondering on her revelation.
Maybe my shattered self could use a respite for one night.
“Even if I agree to come with you—not that I’ve decided yet—I have nothing to wear,” I complain.
“Oh, girlfriend, I have you covered,” Syd grins.
Of course, she does.
