“I think going would, I don’t know”—I shrugged—“turn us on, and then we’d have the best sex of our lives.”
We stared at each other, not saying anything. “Why?” he finally asked.
“I think it would be fun and spice things up,” I admitted.
“Spice things up?”
I took a deep breath. “Remember life before kids?”
Ward snickered. “Yeah.”
“From what I’ve read, this sex partyis once a month. We can have it like a date night or something—go and pretend we’re young and dating again. Not have to worry about being quiet or the door opening, and not have the same missionary sex we’ve been doing lately.”
“I can’t believe you want to go to a sex club.”
“I can’t either.” We were silent again, the game on in the background. “So, do you want to go?”
Ward thought for a moment. “Yeah, if you want to. You know I’d do anything for you.”
“This is for us,” I corrected.
“I guess. I mean, we could always get moves from porn.”
I snorted. “I know, but what if this is like … an awakening?”
“A sexual awakening?”
I grinned. “Yeah?”
He ran his hands down his face. “I can’t believe this is happening.”
“I know, but it’s kinda exciting, right?”
He snickered. “Yeah.”
“Want to see the website?”
“Sure.” I passed him the laptop and watched as he read everything on the website. “So, when do we go?”
“I’ll check with Peyton on Monday.”
“Okay.” He took a deep breath. “Well, shit, baby. With all this sex talk, fuck the game.” Ward clicked off the TV with the remote and pushed a button with another remote to turn on the stereo.
“We’re gonna do it here?”
He smirked. “Wedohave the house to ourselves.”
I smirked back. “Yeah, we do.”
One of my favorite present-day rock bands, Flirting with Fire, was playing from the playlist I had queued as Ward grabbed my face and brought his lips to mine. I pulled my T-shirt over my head and reached for his just as my cell phone rang on the coffee table. Our mouths broke apart, and he grabbed it.
“Cole’s mom.” Ward handed me my phone.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Hey, Kiera, it’s Mona. I’m sorry to call, but Jacob says his tummy hurts and wants to go home.”
I sighed. “Okay, we’ll come pick him up.”
