My mouth dropped. “No! For fuck’s sake.”
“Hmmm. That’s a shame. I’d be curious to know which one of y’all is packing more.”
I closed my eyes and prayed like hell Josh didn’t hear Ari. He’d come rushing out at the chance to show her his dick.
“So how’d you get into this pickle?”
“It’s none of your business. Now go on and do what little girls in high school do.”
Her smile dropped, and I could see the hurt in her eyes. I instantly felt like a bastard.
She stood. Her hands went to her hips. “You really are an asshole, Jeff. What happened to you that made you such a jerk?”
You happened. You and your fucking perfectly beautiful body.
“I’m sorry. It’s been a long morning, and I’m ready to get the hell out of here. I didn’t mean to say that.”
“Were you in an orgy or something? I honestly didn’t think you were the type.” Her eyes looked sad.
I sighed. She was clearly not leaving until I told her what had happened. Fine. If she wanted to stay, she was going to get a little show in the process.
Dumping the clothes out onto the bed, I grabbed a pair of the jeans and ripped off the tags.
“You really want to know?”
She nodded and sat back down. I ripped the blanket off, giving her a good look at my entire naked body. I had to hand it to her—she didn’t flinch. Her eyes slowly traveled over my body and then back up to where her gaze met mine. The corners of her mouth moved into a slow, sexy-as-hell smile, and now I felt like an idiot because my dick was getting hard from her stare.
When she winked, I nearly moaned. Fucking hell. How was she staying so cool? If she stripped in front of me, I’d be a mess.
“Not bad. Is that supposed to be a clue or something?”
Damn her.
“I hooked up with a girl last night who happened to slip me something in my drink. Next thing I knew, Josh was here, and they were getting it on while I sat over there and watched him fuck her, but I don’t remember watching them.” I closed my eyes and whispered, “Thank God.”
Ari giggled.
“I passed out. Lord knows what in the hell they did while I was out. I woke up naked, in the same bed as my best friend. Sunshine took off with our clothes and wallets.”
Ari held up her hand. “Hold up. Sunshine? Her name was Sunshine?”
“Yes.”
She snarled her lip and stood up. “Gross. She sounds like a whore.”
“Yeah, well, she probably was for all I know. She was our waitress yesterday.”
I could see the look of disappointment in her eyes.
“Don’t look at me that way. All I wanted to do was get laid.”
Her body jerked, like my words slapped her right across the face. Reaching for the purse she had dropped on the table, she shook her head. “I’d say you got screwed in more than one way. Hope she was worth it.”
Ari started for the door.
“Ari, wait.”
When she stopped and turned back to face me, I closed my eyes and let out a breath before focusing back on her. I needed her to know this wasn’t me. It wasn’t something I normally did. “I don’t normally do shit like this.”
