“We are kind of a fucked-up bunch, huh? Like, imagine the movies they could make about our lives.”
I shrug. “I’d watch them.”
Arianna nods. “Too bad it would never happen. Logan and I have kinky sex way too often.”
Cassi snaps her fingers in response, then we dissolve into fits of laughter.
“I’m going to miss you guys,” I sigh.
“Us too, babe,” Arianna says.
“But we’ll all get together soon for our sweet baby niece,” Cassi says, rubbing Arianna’s belly lovingly.
Ari rolls her eyes. “I told you we aren’t finding out what the baby is until it’s born.”
Cassi waves her off like the comment is irrelevant. “I’m manifesting—leave me alone, okay?”
Ari shakes her head and finishes her cake before pushing the plethora of room service plates away from us.
“Alright, notification check—what do you ladies got?” Cassi asks as she scrolls through her phone.
“I have one missed call, two text messages and a random reel,” Arianna says.
Cassi laughs. “I’ll raise your missed call with two and three text messages.”
I pull out my phone and shake my head. “Three missed calls, one missed FaceTime, two text messages and a voicemail demanding to know if I’m okay.”
The girls laugh.
“Okay, surprise, surprise—Naomi wins most overbearing spouse for the night.”
“Lucky me,” I scoff.
“I mean, to be fair, your man was literally a criminal. He’s used to no answer meaning someone’s dead,” Arianna points out.
“Criminal is harsh,” I say.
“But true,” Cassi cuts in.
They actually love Kolter—they always have, ever since we were kids. After I told them everything that happened—from the mafia trying to take us out to his own father pulling a gun on me—they’ve adopted this theory that Kolter is a hardened criminal. Which, I guess when he needs to be, sure.
Cassi perks up, a wicked smile spreading over her face as she looks around the room. “I have an idea.”
She quickly types out a text, then shows it to us before sending in. Arianna and I smile and send the same text to our guys before we get up and get dressed.
We’re going out tonight. Maybe to a club or something like it. You can meet us if you want.
In less than an hour, we’re dressed and standing inside the main entrance of the sex club where all this began. A rush of familiarity hits me, and yet everything feels different.
As if the guys were all together already, they pile into the club as one, quickly scanning the room before their eyes land on us.
Logan wraps his arm around Arianna and yanks her into a kiss before leading her upstairs, while Nico lifts Cassi up and hauls her off in the other direction. Kolter, though? He stalks towards me like he has all the time in the world. Like I’d wait a hundred lifetimes for him.
Probably because I would.
When he reaches me, he pulls me close, claiming me for all to see before pulling away.
“You think you can just walk into my club anytime you feel like it without me by your side?” he rumbles.
