Because it’s Addie. Since I saw Addie in Club M for the first time, I haven’t been interested in anyone else. “I saw a football game earlier today. American football, I mean.”
“What on earth for?”
I shrug. “I went to grab a bite to eat, and it was on TV. I got sucked in. It was the fourth quarter, and the team from Pittsburgh was losing. From what I could gather, they’d been behind the entire game.”
“I'm waiting for you to go somewhere with this, Keppel.”
“I'm getting there. There were less than five seconds on the clock, and the game seemed over. Then the quarterback threw the ball down the field in a desperate attempt to make something happen.”
“Throw,” Shane says. “With hishands.It escapes me why the Americans insist on calling this gamefootball.”
“You and the rest of the world. Anyway, someone actually caught that damn ball. The game was almost over. They should have lost. But they didn’t. Because they didn’t give up.”
“You're hoping for a Hail Mary pass,” Shane comments, demonstrating that he knows more about American football than he lets on. “You want a miracle.”
I really do. “I know she’s not looking for anything serious. But it changes nothing. I'm going to hang in there and hope for the best. But enough about me. Let’s talk about your involvement with Addie.”
He frowns. “What do you mean? I don’t get involved, you know that.”
Color me skeptical. “You called Xavier and asked him to let Addie use the employee entrance,” I point out. “You saw the way she looked at the churros and sent Henry to the restaurant to get some.”
“That’s just basic courtesy,” he replies. “If I hadn’t done it, you would have.”
“So when you do nice things for Addie, you’re just being polite, but when I do them, I’m involved? You’re full of shit, Gaffney. Younoticedthings about Addie.”
“I notice things all the time.”
“And you usually don’t care enough to do anything about it. The last time you were at Club M, you scened with someone, didn’t you? What was her name?”
“Serena.”
“What was her favorite color?”
“Pink,” he replies. “Where are you going with this?”
“During aftercare, did you wrap her in a pink robe?”
He clamps his lips shut.
“I rest my case.”
He doesn’t respond, not immediately. “When are we doing the next scene?” he asks finally. “What does your schedule look like this week?”
I check my phone. “I have early morning meetings on Wednesday, so I would prefer it not to be Tuesday night. But if Tuesday is all Addie can do, I’ll work around it.” I have to. In seven days, I’m going to be on a flight back home. A week after that, the entire Keppel clan will gather in the family home for Christmas. My gran, aunts and uncles, my parents, my sister Willow, her husband Stuart, their new baby Olivia, and my brother Rob and his husband Pierre, everyone will be there.
I’m running out of time.

Our second scene is on Wednesday, and, just like the first time, we eat at Taco Gus beforehand. Back at the club, they both go down on me, making me come over and over with their skillful tongues and fingers. Then theyfinallyallow me to suck their cocks. I take Shane’s length down my throat while Theo licks my pussy. Then, after a spanking interlude that leaves me wet and shaking for more, I kneel on the floor and swallow Theo’s cock into my mouth.
But they don’t fuck me. I want them to. In my pussy, in my ass. I need them to possess me.
It doesn’t happen.
I try not to let it bother me.
