Kaitlyn bites back a laugh and looks to me with an expression I don’t like.
“No.” I shake my head.
“I’d say they already killed the mood.”
“Fine,” I grumble. “Have a seat, boys.”
Before I know it, there are four additions to my baller date with Kaitlyn. Patrick, Jonah, Ash, and Pax groan and eat like the usual slobs they are.
“So good,” Jonah wipes his mouth and then takes another big bite.
“Glad you’re enjoying yourself,” I say dryly.
“What’s for dessert?” Pax asks as he finishes off his food and leans back. He’s got spaghetti sauce on his chin and I’m not telling him. Serves him right for interrupting my date.
“I need to stop. I’m gonna be all bloated for my date later.” Pat rubs his stomach, and everyone looks to him. “What? It’s a valid concern. I don’t work hard on this six-pack to hide it behind water weight.”
“There’s some pie in the fridge,” Ash says. “Grab that.”
I push back in my chair. “No.”
They all stop and look at me.
“It’s for me and Kaitlyn.”
“You two are going to eat an entire pie?” Pax asks.
“Is this one of thoseAmerican Piemovie things? Are you gonna stick your dick in the pie, Vonne?” Patrick asks, totally serious.
Massaging my forehead with a thumb, I count to three before I respond. “No. Also, gross. It’s for—”
“You and Kaitlyn,” they say in unison.
“But, like, all of it?” Ash asks a few seconds later.
Kaitlyn giggles, breaking the tension.
“Do you want any pie?” I ask her.
“Save me a piece for later?”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea.”
I cut two big pieces and then bring the pan to the guys. Dropping it down on the middle of the table, I say, “It’s all yours, boys.”
They attack it and I motion for Kaitlyn to follow me.
“Thanks, Vonne,” they call after us.
“Sorry about that.” I lead her up to my room, taking our pie and wine with us. “It was much more romantic in my head.”
“Without the dick in pie references and the other guys?”
“Exactly.”
I put everything on the desk and then turn to face her. She stands in the middle of my room waiting for me. I go to her and she leans up on her toes and places a kiss on my lips, lingering for a second. “Thank you.”
“Welcome.” I kiss her again, run my hands along her hips, gliding over that velvet fabric, and grab her butt to pull her flush against me.
