Tori smirked. “She doesn’t want to listen to people having sex, Colton. I don’t mean to brag, but I have a lot of that.”
“Your vibrator doesn’t count,” Kinsley said, her straw caught between her teeth. She waved toward the bar and motioned for another round.
“If you think a vibrator doesn’t count, you need a new vibrator.”
Josh leaned forward. “She’s just fine, thank you.”
“Can we not discuss this?” Colton held up his hands. “Just because I’m okay with the relationship, doesn’t mean I want to think about what they do when they’re alone.”
Seb leaned back in his seat with a grin. “I missed this.”
“Really?” I replied dryly as Colton and Tori bickered. “I regret this.”
He laughed. “Saylor, Dylan is coming to White Peak in a few days to go through a new workout with me. My doctor said I can start lifting weights again, so he’ll be here for a couple of days. I’ll introduce you.”
She made a noise that could either be interpreted as reluctant agreement or downright annoyance. It was probably a little weird mixture of both, but she picked up her empty glass before realizing it was empty and putting it right back down again.
“That went well,” I remarked.
“It did not,” Saylor said sharply from the other side of the table. “Nothing about this is a good thing.”
Seb knocked his foot against mine and winked. “Did I tell you he’s British?”
Four sets of female eyes swung his way.
Mine. Tori’s. Kinsley’s.
And Saylor’s.
“Come again?” Saylor said, her eyelashes fluttering frantically as she blinked. “What was that?”
“And there it is.” Colton smirked and raised his beer to Seb. “Looks like she’s interested in your friend after all.”
“Is he the one you mentioned at the wedding?” I asked Seb, picking up a menu even though I already knew what I wanted to eat.
I mean, I’d had a hand in the menu.
“Yeah.” Seb turned in his chair so he was facing me. “I just spoke to him this morning when I saw my doctor. Of course, it wasn’t snowing then, so I don’t know if he’ll be able to get here still, but…”
“Do not dangle a British man in my face only to take him away, Sebastian,” Saylor warned. “You get him here under any circumstances, do you hear me? You’re rich. Get a helicopter or something to get him here.”
“I thought you didn’t want a roommate.” Kinsley grinned.
“I don’t want a roommate,” Saylor agreed. “But if I’m going to have one, there’s worse I could do than a hot British one.”
“I never said he was hot,” Sebastian said.
“Is he hot?”
He held his hands out. “I don’t know.”
“How can you not know?”
“Guys don’t pay attention to that kinda stuff.”
“Straight guys don’t,” Tori corrected him. “So ask Colton. Maybe he knows.”
Colton didn’t even look at her. “I’ve never met him. And I’m straighter than she is, anyway.”
“Excuse you,” Tori said.
“Thank you.”
“How are you straighter than me?”
“Have you or have you not kissed a woman?”
She paused. “Three times.”
Seb blinked. “The same woman?”
“No,” she replied brightly. “Three different ones. In my defense, I was drunk in college.”
“I don’t think you need a defense for that.” Josh stared at her then looked at his girlfriend.
Kinsley hit him. “Not gonna happen.”
“She’s a great kisser,” Saylor said, perusing the menu.
All three guys shared a look. “I’m sorry, what?” Colton asked.
“I said she’s a great kisser,” Saylor repeated, still not bothering to look up from the menu. “I was one of those.”
“How did we never know this?” I asked, glancing between them. “Seriously?”
Tori nodded. “Let’s see. It was my sophomore year and there was a birthday party for the head of the sorority.”
“You were in a sorority? You?” Colton raised his eyebrows.
“No, fuck that,” Tori replied. “Neither of us were, but they liked us, so they let us come to the parties. Also, I knew where to buy good pot.”
“Ah,” Seb muttered. “The key to all good parties.”
I choked back a laugh.
If I didn’t already think I was the nerd of the friend group, this just confirmed it.
Man, my college years were boring compared to the years my friends apparently enjoyed.
“Shut up,” Tori shot at him. “It was a huge blow out that almost got shut down the cops. Almost everyone left and a small group of us stayed behind to play spin the bottle, and I don’t think I need to elaborate on that.”
“Spin the bottle doesn’t count,” Kinsley said. “Everyone’s kissed a member of the same sex while playing that.”
“I haven’t,” Josh offered.
“Me either,” said Colton.
“Thirding,” added Seb.
“Fine.” Kinsley shot them all a dark look. “All girls have kissed girls during spin the bottle.”
“I think we were playing with the wrong girls,” Seb mused quietly.
I rolled my eyes. “Well, I haven’t.”
Tori wiggled her eyebrows at me. “You wanna?”
Saylor snorted. “Good luck. I spent a whole year trying to get her to party with us at college and she never did.”
