Tease Me (Private Listing #4)

“I think you should date Drew Young, Sara,” Kayla says.

Sara blushes and looks away. Maybe she should. If that guy she likes is never going to make a move, she should find someone who will.

“We’re waiting for the police to look at the evidence. With the videos, the dress, and the texts, we hope they can see he’s escalating and move the phone to a higher priority.” I sit back and stare at the black TV screen. It could all be over if Valerie kept a picture of the stalker on the phone.

“Wait, aren’t you breaking your NDA?” Kayla points out.

“Seth and I talked last night.” I look at each of them. “I trust all of you and he trusts me. The whole contract was to prevent us from feeling more for each other, but that failed. I love them and they love me.”

“Damn, living the dream.” Kayla shakes her head. “So what do we do next?”

“Not much we can do.” I tuck my feet under me on the couch. “We make sure the police have screenshots from your phones. They may access your history to see if they can determine where the text came from. Otherwise, we’re at a standstill.”

“Then I vote wine and a girly movie.” Sara heads to my refrigerator.

Hope reaches for the remote. “And not focusing on what must be an amazing sex life. And the fact I’m not getting any.”

Heat floods my face.

“Definitely not focusing on amazing sex. I’ve been dating her boyfriend for the last few weeks.” Sara shakes her head. “Pretty sure I could hook up with Drew Young though. He does seem open to fucking.”

She laughs and we join her. They’re still willing to be my friends. Relief slips through me.

“You know, I could go for a group thing. All girls?” Kayla looks at all of us half hopeful, half trying not to laugh.

“Maybe some other girls. I like dick.” Sara blows Kayla a kiss as she passes her a wineglass.

“You just haven’t seen my dick.” Kayla winks. “I can be as big and thick as you want.”

Hope laughs. “Oh shit, are you talking about strap-ons?”

“Strap-ons, dildos, vibrators. I got them all.”

“I’m going to have to go with Sara’s answer.” Hope blushes. “I like a man’s body. Hard and solid.”

“Whoa.” Sara holds up her hand to stop Kayla from talking about hard and solid things. “Wine first. It’s way too early in the day to discuss cocks without being a little tipsy.”

I relax into the corner of my couch with a glass of white wine and friends surrounding me. This right here is what I’ve always wanted. My guys are fucking icing on the cake, but friendship is so precious to me.

Hours later, after three bottles of wine, two movies, and laughing until my sides hurt, I’m walking the others across the lobby to let them out. Blake hovers in the background, letting me have this time with my friends but always protecting me.

“Okay, we all have the group text, but I want dinner one night this week.” Kayla looks around and then past us to Blake. “No dicks allowed!”

“Except silicone ones.” Hope giggles.

Kayla grins. “I’ll pull you over to the dark side yet.”

“But first,” Sara says, “we take over the business world. The four of us could give those guys a run for their money.”

“Hey, I like those guys.” I fake pout and turn to Blake. He takes a step forward, but I smile and wave him off. A little rush of desire races through me.

“Fine, but we’ll find something to conquer.” Sara weaves a little as she scrunches up her forehead, thinking. “Maybe I should graduate first.”

Kayla laughs. “Come on, let’s leave this one to her dicks.”

“We should go to my brother’s bar.” Hope holds up her hand as if remembering something and frowns. “Crap. It’s closed until later.”

“Then we’ll go later.” Sara loops her arm in Hope’s.
