Di nods before grabbing her jacket.
“You’re right because guys are dogs. But it’s only been ten hours, Paisley. I’m sure they’ll reach out.”
At that moment, my phone dings with a text, causing me to jump. I reach for my cell and then smile beatifically while reading the message. Then, I show my buddy the screen with a triumphant smile.
“OMG, they want to see me again!”
Diana scans the words and nods approvingly.
“Nice, girlfriend. I guess I was wrong about the whole blackmail thing because the Creightons are definitely asking you out on a date. Listen, I’ve got to run, but I’ll see you later tonight?”
I shrug sassily.
“Sure, if I’m not in bed by the time you get home.”
Di merely rolls her eyes and waves as she leaves. Then, I sink back on the couch and text a quick reply to Torment that yes, I’d love to join them Friday night for dinner.
Wow, this is so exciting. I lean back on the couch and sigh once more, but now adrenaline’s surging through my veins and I feel an urge to be productive. Quickly, I get up and get dressed before grabbing a camera from my closet. I’m going to do some wildlife photography and while my iPhone is adequate for the job, sometimes I feel more real when I use my Minolta.
Yet as I walk to the park with my camera slung around my neck, I can’t stop thinking about the twins because Torment and Talon are incredibly hot, and they actually asked me out to dinner. My mind wanders again to how enjoyable it was to be physical with both of them. I’ve actually never even tried the backdoor way before, but now, I want to do it again. It felt so wrong but incredibly good too, and my pleasure was doubled because I was doing a sixty-nine with one man as the other pounded my bottom.
Of course, I’m still barely able to walk from all the ecstasy they gave me so it takes twice as long as usual to get to the park. But once I’m surrounded by trees, I glad I left my apartment because there’s something magical about nature. When I got my first camera at twelve, I started with portrait photos. It was fun, but photographing people was a bit annoying with all their various demands. Instead, I decided I’d try to snap photos of birds, squirrels, and other critters outside my parents’ house, and I was immediately hooked. Since then, I’ve loved nature photography and indulge my passion at every chance I get.
Taking a deep breath, I push Talon and Torment out of my mind and instead focus on taking photographs. There’s a beautiful male cardinal sitting on a nearby tree branch and he ruffles his wings as I approach. They’re flighty creatures, and they’ll run off at the slightest movement but I’m able to capture a few shots before he flutters away.
Then, I manage to get a photo of a few chipmunks nibbling at nuts, as well as a raccoon which decides to cross the dirt footpath. I thought these guys were nocturnal, but evidently there was something on the other side of the road that was calling him.
But after a few satisfying hours in the park, my sore body begs me to go back home and lounge on the couch to rest and get re-hydrated. With a smile, I turn tail and begin the slow walk back, my mind spinning with thoughts of the Creightons once more. I have a date with the handsome brothers coming up, and now, Friday can’t arrive soon enough.

Talon
* * *
Torment and I are dressed in jeans and t-shirts, which is nice for a change. Normally, we’re either in gym clothes or wearing suits because there are are a lot of press conferences and promotional appearances in our line of work. But honestly, I feel the most comfortable in relaxed athletic wear. After all, the ring is where I rule, and suits have always seemed stiff and overly formal.
But for our date, we’re not going to show up in wife-beaters and boxing shorts, so we pull up to Paisley’s apartment complex looking like the epitome of California casual cool in jeans and t-shirts. I text her to let her know we’ve arrived and the sweet girl runs out, wearing a flirty sun dress paired with sneakers before climbing into the front seat next to me.
“Hi,” she says with a gentle smile. “It’s good to see you again, Talon and Torment.”
“Hey sweetheart,” I lean over to give her a kiss before Torment does the same from the back seat. “It’s good to see you too,” I say before pulling the car away from the curb. She giggles.
“But where are we going? I wore sneakers like you told me to.”
My brother chuckles.
