Chapter 16 #2
‘Oh yeah.’ She shrugs dismissively. ‘Then another couple of people came in, and once the guy was finished fucking me, another one went down on me, while the guy who’d come in my mouth played with my boobs.
They basically all played with me, and I was honestly a dribbling mess when they’d finished.
Like, I was so relaxed and floppy. I was probably in some kind of subspace.
So I staggered out of there and cabbed home and passed out like I’d drunk a bottle of vodka.
I mean, who needs facials and massages? Last night was like someone pressed the reset button, restored me to my factory settings, and I feel fabulous this morning. ’
‘That’s amazing,’ I tell her. ‘I’m so happy for you. Are you going to join up?’
‘I emailed Genevieve as soon as I woke up. Let’s see if I can afford it. It’ll probably have to come out of the trust fund.’ She sighs. ‘Living my parents’ dream for me, eh?’
‘Maybe you should get a job there,’ I blurt out. I’m not sure where the idea came from, but it seems like an excellent one.
Her eyes widen. ‘Do they have professionals there—like sex workers?’
‘I’m not sure how it works,’ I tell her. ‘You should speak to Genevieve. But it could be worth considering. If you like it that much.’
‘Hmm.’ She narrows her eyes at me. ‘Do that a few times a week and get paid. You’re not stupid, Belle Scott.’

Over delectable ravioli, Maddy coaxes the story out of me.
‘Start at the very beginning,’ she urges me. ‘I want to know everything, and especially how you were feeling. I still can’t believe you went through with it. I’m so proud of you, babes.’
Maddy is a fantastic listener. She gasps and laughs in all the right places. I tell her about picking the sheer underwear, about how surreal it felt as I got ready in that little changing room and how bloody terrified I was.
How quickly that terror ratcheted up as I pressed the ORGASMS button and lowered my eye mask and during the brief hiatus when the guys had arrived but hadn’t started touching me.
‘Do you have any idea how many there were?’ she asks.
‘Three. Definitely three. One at my feet, and one on either side of me.’
She smirks. ‘So hot. Eek! I can’t believe my little Belle had three guys last night!’
‘Shh!’ I say, looking to either side of us in a panic, but the noise level in here at lunchtime is loud enough to drown out our decidedly dodgy conversation.
‘Tell me this.’ She nudges my arm with her elbow. ‘Were you tempted to look?’
I recall that moment when I recognised Rafe’s scent. When I knew with utter certainty that he was in the room with me.
‘No. I would have been too self-conscious, I think. It was better I couldn’t see any of it, and it made it hotter, not knowing who was doing what or what they were going to do next. It was just’—I wave my hands around in an attempt to explain—‘hands and mouths everywhere.’
Maddy’s beaming at me like I’ve just taken my first steps and she’s my proud mummy. ‘Yes,’ she hisses. ‘Exactly. Ugh, I’m so fucking jealous.’
My eyebrows shoot up. ‘You’re jealous? You had a foursome too, last night, and it sounded far wilder than mine.’
‘I know, and it was great. But there’s something about the whole virgin thing—it’s so hot. Like, you’re lying there and you’ve never been touched, and then there are three guys going to town on you. Whew.’ She fans herself. ‘Maybe next time I go, I’ll pretend I’m a virgin.’
I roll my eyes. This girl is so dramatic. ‘I’m not sure you could hold that ruse for long.’
‘Rude. But you’re probably right. Anyway, tell me exactly what they did. I want every filthy little detail.’
As we finish our orgasmic ravioli, I regale her with a blow-by-blow chronology of my short but explosive session, except, because it’s me, there’s a lot of gesticulating at body parts rather than being as technical as Maddy wants me to be.
God, I’m bad at this stuff.
I need to get better.
I’ll never be able to have a healthy relationship if I can’t even say the word—
‘Clit. Just say it. Clit,’ Maddy annunciates.
I glare at her. ‘Clit. Happy? So he rolled an ice cube around my… clit, and then he and, I think, Callum, had their fingers down there too, pressing against my… entrance, and I just exploded.’
Maddy shifts sideways on her bar stool so she can cross her legs. ‘God, you’re turning me on.’
I grimace. ‘That was absolutely not my intention.’
‘So what was Rafe doing when you came? Kissing you?’
‘Yeah.’ Although kissing falls laughably short of describing the way Rafe’s ravenous tongue devoured my mouth.
A flash of electricity travels through my entire body as I recall the intensity of having his face and mouth smashed against mine like that.
‘And he and Callum each had a hand on one of my boobs, as far as I can tell.’
‘So Callum’s dirty talk was good.’
‘It was excellent. He made me feel really sexy, but it wasn’t too intimidating.’
‘And then you had Rafe eating your face off and some other guy eating you out.’
‘Over my knickers, yeah.’
‘Such a strong formula,’ she mutters to herself. ‘I mean, fuck, babes. That was a lot for your first time. You went from nought to sixty in, like, half an hour.’
‘I know,’ I say weakly.
‘And you loved it?’
I raise my head from my plate so I can look her in the eye. ‘I loved every second of it. Honestly. It blew my mind.’
‘That’s my girl.’ She’s a proud mum again. ‘Now, tell me. When are you going back for more?’
