“Now that is an interesting proposition,” James says, tone delighted.
“Absolutely not,” Charlie says.
I blink at Charlie. “What? It’s not like we’re going to have sex like you did. It’s just a little tongue to even the score.”
“No!” The bark of the word has a shiver racing down my spine.
Gracie scrunches up her nose and gives me a conciliatory smile. “I’m afraid I’m going to have to side with Charlie here. I think letting James see you almost naked was already quite a reward.”
“That’s very sweet of you. Except Charlie saw you half naked too, so that means he’s still at an advantage. All I’m asking for is one minute. We can even start a timer. The matter will be resolved, and we will never have to discuss it again.” I think this is a perfectly reasonable solution.
“No!” Charlie and Gracie say together.
James sighs. “It seems they are disagreeable.”
“You guys are no fun at all.” I flop back in my chair, crossing my arms and scowling at Charlie. “You’d better make this up to me.”
He slides his hand around my neck, his fingers curling tight. “I promise, I will.”
Chapter 25
Charlie
It’s five o’clock on Saturday, and I’m once again smiling at my phone like an idiot, having watched the video Jessica just sent me.
She is an incorrigible troublemaker.
A fact confirmed by the incoming text from our all-male group chat. The women kicked us out, and now there’s a running commentary on their pre-party activities.

Evan
Did anyone else get a video of their wife engaged in a pillow fight?

My eyes snag on the word wife, my heart beating inexplicably fast. Before I can think too much about it, I get a text from Jessica.
Jessica
Pretty hot, huh?
My lips tug wider. Very hot, but as much as I’d like to agree with her, that’s not the game we’re playing. Jessica needs a lot of stimulation; she needs friction. I can’t agree with her too much.
Charlie
Have I not objectified you enough yet? You’ve gotten my friends involved too?
The group chat goes off.
James
How have they managed to lose more clothes since the last time?
Shane
I blame this on Charlie. We were just getting these women under control, then he had to get pussy-whipped by a hellion.
