Levi:She knows that I know that she knows.
Penny:That strangely makes sense.
Ollie:How do you know?
Levi:Not much time. Out to dinner with her, she scuttled away and is talking on the phone. Probably to her friend. She keeps looking over at me. No doubt she knows.
Winnie:Think she’ll confront you?
Levi:No, I think she’s going to bring it.
Blakely:What do you mean?
Penny:Like fight your fire with her fire?
Levi:Yup. Queens, prepare yourselves because I think this is the climax. We’re about to walk into dangerous territories.
Ollie:Why am I excited?
Winnie:I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t wishing I was a fly on the wall.
Penny:Are you going to hold strong?
Blakely:Or are you going to fold?
Levi:What do you guys think?
Ollie:Hold strong.
Winnie:Don’t cave.
Penny:Do whatever you can not to fuck her, but almost fuck her.
Blakely:This is your moment. Prove to us that you can handle this!
Levi:I will. I can. I shall not break.
Penny:That’s our boy!
Blakely:Make her sweat!
Winnie:Make her yearn.
Ollie:Spank her!
Penny:No spanking, Ollie. But . . . maybe a little accidental choking could work.
Shaking my head, I put my phone in my pocket just as Wylie approaches, and from the gleam in her eye and the smirk on her lips, my assessment is confirmed. We’re in this game together, both aware of what we’re after and ready to play.
And there’s a voice in the back of my head that’s saying,don’t.
That’s reminding me of the repercussions.
That’s telling me this is a bad, bad idea.
But fuck . . . just look at her.
Look at the way she’s strutting toward me, full of confidence.
