Page 45 of What are the Risks
Ruby: Don’t you dare. Keep this between us. I’m safe. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
That should keep Noah satisfied. He was all about appearances. If there was even the slightest chance he thought I’d keep his dirty secret, he’d take it.
Just as I finished off my vodka, a waitress appeared with a round for everyone. Evan was a table service kind of guy, and I had no complaints.
As I reached for mine and took a heavy mouthful, I could feel Ryker’s questioning gaze on me. I purposely ignored him. Figures he was still sober enough to sense something was up.
“That thing is going nuts,” Miranda called out to me, nodding towards my phone.
I hurriedly snatched it up, letting out a relieved sigh once realising it was just the girls’ chat again.
Daisy: It’s happening. Wish me luck. *Eggplant Emoji* X2
“Holy shit,” I breathed. “She’s actually doing it.”
That was going to be an interesting story tomorrow. Hopefully it would overshadow my epic breakup one.
“Doing what?” Ryker pressed.
“Daisy is about to have a threesome with–”
I paused. Had it only been Ryker and me, I would have happily filled him in. But it was probably TMI for this group.
“Fuck, that’s hot.” Evan’s eyes smouldered. “Do you know what’s hotter than a threesome though?”
“What?” Miranda questioned, her gaze heavy with anticipation.
“A foursome.”
Wow! I wasdefinitelyoverstaying my welcome. I hadn’t realised this wasthattype of date. Is that where I was going wrong? Should I have been suggesting to Noah that we bring a third person in? A fourth? Was I too reclusive?
As Evan leaned in to whisper something in Elizabeth’s ear, I discreetly watched them, curious about what he’d be saying. I knew I should look away, since it felt like I was intruding on their foreplay, but I couldn’t bring myself to.
When she eventually edged back with a mischievous snarl, she reached straight for Miranda. “Let’s go to the bathroom. I need to talk to you.”
My phone lit-up again, stealing my attention. This time it was Noah’s name on the screen. I turned it facedown, hoping that would be enough to fight the temptation to check what he had to say.
The moment Elizabeth and Miranda crossed the packed dance floor, Ryker rounded on Evan. “I don’t suppose you have any idea what Elizabeth would be chatting to Miranda about in there?”
Evan innocently shrugged. “Whether she’d be game on coming back to the hotel withbothof us.”
Ryker sighed. “I told you. I’m not putting my dick anywhere yours has been.”
“Don’t be a prude. You’ve already had a threesome. Consider this the next level.”
My eyebrows shot up. “You’ve had a threesome, Wheels?”
Ryker looked sheepish, like it was something he’d planned on keeping hidden from me forever.
His sexual experiences put mine to shame. I’d always known he was... active in that sense, but a threesome wasn’t something I’d ever considered.
I set down my drink. “Was it with two guys?”
“Two girls,” Evan answered on Ryker’s behalf.
“Jeez, Wheels. That’s a lot of pressure. How did it even work?”
Ryker shook his head. “Nah-ah. I’m not that drunk, Rubz.”
