I would give anything for my mom to be alive, giving me advice on how to handle my feelings. She would know exactly what to say. Instead, I had an irritable ex-boxer with the hormones of a pre-pubescent teenage girl and a flamboyant assistant trying to guide me.
Jesus, I was so fucked.
Chapter Seventeen
“You Make Me Feel . . .”
GOLDIE
“I need some more body glide,” I called out as my inner thighs got stuck on the pole. “Oh fucking hell, my pussy is about to rip off.”
“Drop off the pole,” Pepper said, body glide in hand.
“It’s too late,” I replied as I released the pole and tumbled to the ground. I gripped my thighs and started rocking back and forth.
Pepper spread my thighs and rubbed more body glide on them. “You’re such a drama queen.”
Placing my hand over my eyes, I said, “I can’t look. How bad are they?”
“They’re barely red,” Pepper replied.
“No way!” I looked down and was surprised to see she was right. “What the hell? I could’ve sworn I left some skin on the pole.”
Pepper pinched my chin and said, “You have to toughen up, girl.” She then looked around and saw that the other girls were doing their own thing so she leaned in and said, “By the way, sorry about earlier. It was a drunken mistake that will never happen again. You can’t tell Jett.”
Here’s the thing, Jett and I said we would be open and honest with each other, and I wanted to be open and honest with him, but who was I really hurting if I kept this to myself? It wasn’t like she was cheating on Jett, because Jett was with me, therefore, it didn’t really matter, right?
With the look on Pepper’s face, the pleading look, I decided that it would be okay if I kept this to myself. It wasn’t that big of a deal. It wasn’t like Jett was still fucking Pepper, at least he better not be or else the man was going to be plucking his dick out of his ear once I got done shoving it in there.
“Don’t sweat it, Pepper. Just tell me one thing, was it good?”
A smirk spread across Pepper’s face. “I think Jett and Kace went to the same school when it comes to dominating in the bedroom because holy shit was he hot.”
“I bet.”
“Shouldn’t you two be practicing?” Kace said, interrupting us and making us stand up straight, guilty as hell.
“Sorry,” Pepper said as she walked off to her pole and talked to the other girls.
Before she started the music again, I called out to Kace. “Kace, can I talk to you for a second?”
“Nope.” He took off to the back of the room, leaving without another word.
“Well, that was fucking rude,” I said under my breath as I got up and followed him.
I was just pulling back the curtain when his hand caught mine and he said, “You don’t fucking listen, do you?”
“You don’t have to be rude, I just want to talk to you.”
He let the curtain fall and he pulled on the brim of his hat as he looked at me. He was hot, like so hot that I wanted to see him in the shower just one more time, for old times’ sake.
“I told you I don’t want to talk, can’t you just leave it at that?”
“Not when you go and make confessions about—” I looked around and leaned forward, “—about loving me.”
“Get over it, Lo. I didn’t mean it.”
“I don’t believe you.”
