“I’ll go with the truth then. They’ll be horrified,” I joked.

His grip on my hair tightened. “Would you rather spend the afternoon being interrogated by your friends or letting me fuck you?”

Me:I’m having my septic tank pumped! The fumes are powerful! Anyone want to come over for game night?

I Will Not Apply a Chemical Peel to My Dick

Lucian

It was an exceptionally gray Monday. The invigorating February air was razor sharp as it hit my lungs. I felt awake, alive, ready to greet the day and destroy my enemies.

“Good morning, sir,” my driver greeted me.

“Morning, Hank,” I said, sliding into the back seat of the SUV. “How was your weekend?”

He blinked. “Um, fine, sir. Is everything all right?”

“Everything is excellent.”

“That’s…good.” He closed the door with a look of concern.

I pulled out my phone and typed a text to Sloane.

Me:Good morning.

I frowned at the words. They seemed flat and inconsequential considering the sexual acrobatics we’d performed all weekend long.

Me:Good morning, beautiful.

No. Definitely not. That one made me sound like a lovesick Morgan brother. I immediately deleted the text. What was the appropriate Monday morning greeting for the librarian who had fucked me into oblivion repeatedly?

Me:My cock is chafed.

Sloane:Good morning to you too. I think you sprained my vagina with too many orgasms.

Me:Is there some kind of balm or laser resurfacing treatment for this kind of situation?

Sloane:Repeat after me. “I will not apply a chemical peel to my dick.”

Me:I had two charley horses in my calves last night.

Sloane:Poor baby. Drink some pickle juice and then tell me how I’m supposed to not think about our rabid fucking every time I sit down today.

Me:If I have to be haunted by our poor choices so do you.

Sloane:Good thing we wised up and won’t be making the same mistake again. Our sex parts need time to heal.

Me:Glad we got it out of our systems. I haven’t even thought about you naked at all in the last four seconds.

Sloane:Hold please. I need to get through a staff meeting today without thinking about your “staff.”

She would think about me all day long, I decided with manly satisfaction as I pocketed my phone. Good. Not that I’d give her a second thought, of course.

“What happened?” Petula demanded the second I stepped off the elevator.

“With what?”
