Never Look Back (Redemption Hills 3)

She’d obviously taken it as a challenge.

Or maybe she thought she was training for an Olympic sport.

God knew it was going to take some acrobatics to get her out of here.

We’d been at this pub for two hours, the group laughing and chatting, catching up. The children were spending the day with Mimi and Gretchen who were taking them to the park.

I took a small sip of my mimosa, this ridiculous redness flushing my cheeks while three pairs of eyes stared back at me in anxious anticipation.

I liked these women.

Too much.

Which was why it was really hard to sit there in their midst and pretend I was normal.

“There’s not much to tell.” There, that would appease them.

Tessa smacked her palm onto the table then pointed at me. “You are the worst liar in all the liars. Do you think I don’t see this right here?”

Tessa leaned over the table and drew a big circle around my face.

Eden hid her laughter behind her soda water.

“And what’s it saying, Tessa?” Salem’s voice was droll, a low teasing with a shake of her head as she took a sip of her hot tea.

“Um, it’s saying our beautiful Aster here has mad, crazy secrets, and they’re really juicy, and it is her duty as our new BFF to dish the deets.”

“I’m not sure how she’s supposed to talk at all when you never stop.” Salem sent me a wry grin as if to let me off the hook.

Tessa pressed her hand over her heart. “Don’t make me kick you out of the Fantastic Foursome.”

Eden groaned. “Fantastic Foursome? Really?”

“Um, hello, the Three Amigos just gained another amigo. This trio is now a quartet. That is unless I have to kick the rude one out.”

Tessa sent Salem a pout.

Salem laughed, her black hair swishing around her shoulders. “I’d rather be rude than nosy.”

“As long as Aster dishes, we’ll be just fine,” Tessa said. “So, let’s hear it. Tell me what it’s like with Logan. Is he wild in the sack, or does he not live up to the hype? Just how big is his dick because I accidentally saw Trent’s once and Oh. My. God.”

That time, I choked on my sip of mimosa. A stream of it dribbled out, and I swiped it with the back of my hand.

“Tessa.” Eden scolded it like she was dealing with an unruly teenager.

“Um, what? Don’t sit over there and act like you’re complaining.”

“If you’re going to hang out with us, you’re going to discover this one has zero filter.” Salem jostled her shoulder into Tessa’s.

“I’m getting the sense…” I drew out.

Tessa’s blue eyes widened as if she’d been wronged. “Inquiring minds, people. Help a girl out.”

“And thathelpshe needs is a direct result of her going without an orgasm for five years. At least one she hasn’t given herself.” Salem quirked a pointed brow.

Tessa gasped in offense. “I do have a boyfriend, you know.”

“Who is the biggest douchebag on the face of the planet, and whatever the size of his dick, it wouldn’t matter because the moron has no clue what to do with it.” Salem leaned toward me when she said it.
