"You have three lovers?"
"Yep," she stated smugly, lounging back on my bed, a look of bliss on her face. "They all know about each other too."
"Wow, that sounds complicated."
"Not at all. We're open and communicate with one another, and the sex is," she groaned, making an exaggerated moaning sound, "fuckingamazing!"
We all broke out in laughter at her comment, but it did have me thinking about my own situation if things progressed with Nicco and Monroe. Maybe I could have them both? It was too out there of a concept to think about now.
"Nat, any men in your life?"
"Ha, you're funny! No, my ex was enough of a reason to stay away from a relationship. Sorry, Cams."
"Not hurting my feelings. My brother is a jackass. Loren met him the other night as well. She can contest too."
"Oh, shit, I forgot he's your ex."
"Unfortunately. Now, I have my fuck buddies I use when I have the need, and I'm good with that. Lily is my main focus."
"That's your daughter, right?"
"Yeah, she's seven and already thinks she knows everything."
"She's the best, despite having my dumbass brother as a father."
"Yeah, there is that."
"So, I think I have an outfit!" Cami clapped from the closet. She'd gotten back up and resumed her rummaging when Nat told us about her asshole ex. After having the unfortunate pleasure of meeting him, I was glad she wasn't with him any longer.
By the time the girls were done with my hair and makeup, I barely recognized myself. I was dressed in a short black silk dress with lace along the bottom hem and the top. Cami had paired it with a short leather jacket she'd brought and some black booties I had.
Nat had paired it with large silver teardrop hoops, a silver bangle, and a long silver uneven chain that ran right between my breasts. Cami had picked out a very sexy black lingerie set as well that had me feeling all kinds of hot and needy. Nat had twisted up my hair in a messy bun I would never be able to pull off on my own.
Tendrils fell strategically around my face giving me an edgy but airy look. The makeup had my eyes standing out in a smokey cat eye and deep red lipstick. I was digging the look and felt nothing like myself. Not only did I feel sexy, but fearless. The woman in this outfit looked badass and like she could take on the world. Bottling that courage, I hugged the girls as I profusely thanked them both.
"I can't thank you ladies enough."
"Uh, yeah, you can. Well, first you don't need to thank us, but if you wanted to, that is, then just invite us over for a girl's night sometime. It would be fun."
"You know, that sounds like a blast. Yes, definitely," I found myself readily agreeing, not an ounce of apprehension in sight.
They both smiled wide, and I felt I'd made some actual girlfriends for once. We all walked down together after Nicco had texted he was here. They both made obscene comments as they walked past him, but he only shook his head, all his focus on me.
Nicco's eyes blazed with the heat of a thousand fires, and I reveled in it. The fear and anxiety I'd felt earlier today vanished, and I embraced the woman I was tonight. If a guy could look at me with so much heat it could melt the ice caps, then maybe I could believe in my sex appeal for a night. Feeling emboldened, I walked up to him, wrapped my hands around his neck, and pulled his lips to mine.
His hands cupped my ass as he pulled me into him, and I briefly forgot where I was. Nat and Cami's hoots and hollers brought me out of the sex haze I'd been pulled into.
"Damn, beautiful. You're reminding me of Luscious Loren from the first night. I can't wait to see what else this night brings if that's how it's starting."
Famous last words.
