The Promotion (Contemporary Reverse Harem 3)

“In fact,” he continued, “I’ve got an idea.” He looked from me, to Von, and back.

“What?” I asked. “What do you have up your sleeve?”

“Why don’t you go take all your clothes off and come back wearing just the apron? And your heels, of course.”

Oh, my. He was a little dirty bird.

I stood. “I think that’s a lovely idea. You guys chat, and I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

I closed the door to my bedroom, and before undressing as Cato had demanded, I dialed Sparkle.

“Hey, girl,” she answered on the last ring.

“Hey. Guess what. I think I’m about to have another threesome. Two nights in a row,” I said.

“Dayum, sissy. You’re a big old whore, aren’t you?”

“Hey. I learned from the best.”

“Ha. You’re funny. Which guys are there tonight?” she asked.

“Cato and Von.”

“Nice. Very nice,” she said.

“So, we’re gonna be…you know…”

“Yeah. I know. I’ll stay out. Just keep off my bed.”

“That’s gross. I would never mess around on your bed.”

“Okay, ho bag. Talk to you later. Have fun.”

“Hey, before you go,” I said.

“Yeah?”

“Well. I feel kind of bad.” Damn, there was that old familiar lump in my throat. “I actually like them all. A lot. I’m scared.”

Sparkle’s deep sigh came through loud and clear over the phone. She might have a weird, hippy-dippy perspective on the world, but she was never one to mince words and was always honest to a fault. She would always tell you when your butt looked big.

“Are you telling them about the promotion thing?” she asked.

“I don’t know. I mean, I have to at some point. Cato knows. He’s the only one.”

“You know my motto,” she said simply.

It was true. I did know

her “motto.”

“Yeah. Honesty.”

“Yeah, sissy. You need to be honest. Bring them all together and talk to them.”

Was she crazy?

Maybe, but I also knew she was right. I might end up with no guy and no promotion, but I suppose I wouldn’t be any worse off than I was when I’d started. Which really wasn’t such a horrible starting place, if you thought about it.
