“I don’t know. Am I?”
I reach for her bra, slip it on her, and struggle like an idiot to fasten the stupid hooks. “Yeah. You are.”
“Not even a blow job?”
I reach around her and grab her slip of a dress off the hook. I carefully arrange it over her head to drop it down over her body.
“No, the quality of yours ruined me. Nobody else swallows my cum like it’s Dom Perignon.”
Her eyes roll as I work her arms through the straps. “Not even a kiss?”
“Nobody has the smart mouth that you do. Makes me a lot less interested in kissing them.”
The dress cascades down over her body.
“What about my panties?”
“Oh, yeah. You won’t be needing those anymore.” I swipe them off the ground and toss them in the garbage with all the paper towels.
We regard each other for a beat. She always has a look of wonder on her face when I do or say something playful. It pisses me off and thrills me all at once. It’s like no one has even attempted to make this woman laugh.
“Aren’t you going to ask me if I’ve been with anyone else?”
“No.”
Her brows draw together. “Why not?”
I reach for her hand and tug her along with me toward the door. “Because I don’t care.”
“Okay, well, I haven’t.”
I turn the lock and smirk at her over my shoulder. “I know.”
She stomps her foot in faux outrage. “How do you know? Maybe I’ve hadso much sex.”
“Nah,” I say, as we head into the darkened hallway, “Cadillac Ranch” filtering to my ears from the dance floor. “There’d be no point since I’m the only one who can make you come.”

Winter
Winter:I’ve never seen a more beautiful, vibrant bride in my life. I love you, Summer. Congratulations.
Summer:Is this your way of explaining why I saw you sneaking out, holding a certain bull rider’s hand?
Winter:I just needed a break. I’ll be back!
Summer:Are you crazy? Don’t come back. Take Theo and go be happy. Make some more cute babies. Rhett says he’ll kick his ass if he’s not good to you.

Theo’s hand is warm and strong. It swallows mine. He doesn’t grip me hard, but I feel the callouses of his palms. I feel his thumb rubbing against me.
The fact I only recently made amends with my sister and now want to duck out of her wedding to get more dick seems bad...but is it?
At the end of the hallway, I see a flash of her spinning on the dance floor and get the distinct impression that she wouldn’t miss me if I left.
Leaving with Theo and spending a leisurely night with his hands on me sounds like a dream. Waking up with him sounds like a dream too.
