The ridiculous scenario had her laughing “Pie does sound good,” she said “Last night I ate three brownies after I got hoer clothes”

He snorted “Nothing wrong with a little cushion, babe Less likely to hurt you with a rough fuck that way”

Her eyes widened They stared at each other as the seconds ticked by

“Okay,” she said “I’m in”

His words were crude but sent a thrill through her A rough fuck Maybe soh to experience that She al He’d wise up one of these days Which hy she should grab onto what he was offering

Chloe gasped as she glanced down at her body She was still stark naked Standing around talking to adeal Without even a hint of nerves or panic

“What?” She gaped at their joined hands Yeah, he was pushing her Or at least trying to nudge her along without totally freaking her out Gave hi her besides the fact that he wanted his hands on her in some way nearly all the damn time

“Yeah, of course I’reat”

He gave her hand a squeeze “You’re nervous”

All her h someone flipped a master switch “Sorry, I’m a little out of practice—”

“With what? Eating?”

That had her at least huffing out a half laugh “No, being around other people T-touching I don’t go out very much” Her face turned an adorable shade of pink “Well, except for Friday and Saturday nights”
