Chapter 27
Ava
Sydney and Colin show up earlier than thirty minutes. Colin parks behind Mark’s truck.
“Do you have a spare or a replacement?”
“It’s a brand new one. I’ll grab another in town tomorrow and switch the other out for a spare.”
“Who do you think did it?” Sydney asks.
“Eric,” I answer quietly. Sydney and Colin’s heads whip my direction.
“He asked her for another chance yesterday, and she turned him down. I’m suspecting he came here this morning to talk to her but saw my truck here. We heard tires squealing while we were occupied in the kitchen but didn’t see who it was.” As soon as he says “occupied” he blushes, noticing his slip.
“Holy crap,” Colin exclaims. Sydney looks over at me with a look of amusement since she caught on quickly to what “occupied” meant. A blush creeps up my neck and cheeks. Colin notices and presses his lips together to bite back laughter.
“Well, I’ll say it!” Sydney exclaims, reveling in our embarrassment. “You think he got a good show through the living room window?”
I laugh nervously, and my stomach sinks at the thought that he may have been watching us. Mark pulls me into his side and kisses the top of my head.
“No, I don’t think he got a good view since we were mostly clothed, but he sure as hell heard a good one.”
“That’s just awesome!” I exclaim, and they all laugh hard. Sydney walks closer and pulls me into a comforting hug. “Just think, now he knows what a real orgasm from you sounds like. Let him stew on that for the rest of his miserable life.”
I bite my lip and chuckle back against her shoulder. She’s right. Prude status no longer applicable. She and I go inside while the guys do their thing and chat with a glass of wine.
“So?” she asks me curiously. “How was the parent meet, not to mention all the shenanigans outside of Eric?” Sydney waggles her brows for emphasis.
“Everything went really well. I actually really like his parents. As for the shenanigans…they’re freaking amazing.”
“Knew it! Now you know how I felt with you, Jane, and Holly crawling down my throat for deets on Colin! You aren’t getting out of this one bit, Ava Venturini!”
“Have you guys ever tried a butt plug yet?”
“On him or me?” she asks, giggling hard.
I drop my head to my hands, my shoulders shaking along with my laugh. I have no words for that one, so I point at her.
“Oh, yes. I have a pretty, sparkly, green-gemmed ass to match my eyes.” We both cackle at that.
“Mine’s pink to match one of his favorite shades of lipstick on me. It looks good in blacklight.” We continue chuckling, but then I get serious.
“No, but seriously now. Have you tried one that vibrates with a remote?”
Sydney’s eyes widen with curiosity. I’ll take that as a no.
“Girl, you’re missing out. I think it might be one of my new favorite things.”
“Really? Don’t gatekeep. Show me.” We get up and sneak back to the bedroom like a couple of teenage girls running off with a swiped smutty novel from a mom’s stash.
I pull it out of the drawer and hand it over to her while snickering when her eyes go wide.
“Don’t worry, we cleaned it well, but you gotta feel the vibration on this shit.”
She squeezes her eyes shut and holds out her hand, curiosity winning. I shove it in her hand, and she laughs harder.
“You’re lucky I love you. Colin’s going to shit himself when I tell him I held the toy that was in your ass last night.” We flop onto the bed, crying from laughing so hard. I turn it on the lowest setting, and her eyes go wide.
“That’s the lowest setting. Wait for it.” I increase the intensity slowly and enjoy watching Sydney’s jaw drop.
“I’m down, but the question is, what did he think of it?” she smirks coyly.
“It may have been a very pleasant surprise intended for me, but it fucking rocked his world.”
We fall back into a fit of laughter when we hear a throat clear.
Our eyes bulge and we look down at the toy vibrating in Sydney’s hands and start laughing again.
“What the hell did we just walk in on, Mark?”
“Well, um–”
“Honey, catch!” Sydney hollers, tossing the toy toward an unsuspecting Colin. He catches it out of reflex and looks down at it with wide eyes as it buzzes in his hand. Mark is practically crying along with us now.
“What the fuck is this power tool?!” he exclaims, and Sydney laughs harder as I raise the remote and put it back at the highest setting.
“That was in Ava’s ass last night!” Sydney says before exploding with a laugh that steals her breath and turns silent. The best kind of laugh that hurts so bad and feels so good for your soul. She’s slapping at my thigh as she tries to fight for air but fails.
Colin’s jaw drops and he hands it over to Mark immediately. He flushes so red, I actually start to worry about him.
Sydney gasps, drawing in a ragged breath while pointing toward the toy.
“We’re getting one of those. It’s going to rock your world.”
“That is not going in my ass.”
“No, it’s going in mine!” Sydney giggles again.
“How’s it going to rock my world then?” he asks, still so flustered his brain isn’t putting any of it together. Mark slaps his shoulder as he tries to compose himself.
“Welp, since they already seemed to have discussed this at length and we’re all on a whole new level of comfort with one another… She’s not wrong. I wasn’t expecting to feel much, but holy hot damn! It’ll blow your mind.”
I bite my lip and rise from the bed to take back the toy and put it away. I won’t risk raising Colin’s blood pressure any further.
“I’m assuming you guys are finished. Why don’t we head to dinner?”
I follow Colin’s eyes, noticing them on the pole in the corner of my room. I forgot he’s never been in here before.
“Ava, there’s a fucking stripper pole in your room. Who the hell are you?”
We all burst into another fit of cackles as Mark claps his back again and leads him from the room. Poor guy. His view of me just went from sweet Ava to naughty Ava too fast for him to handle. I broke him.
“Did you really think that thing was going in your ass?” Mark mumbles not so quietly as we walk down the hall. Sydney and I toss each other more amused glances. Leave it to Mark to push the limits.
“No!” Colin says turning a shade of red I didn’t think was possible.
“Oohh, but now you’re curious!”
“Shut the fuck up,” Colin growls as our raucous laughs echo through the hall.
“This is already the best double date ever!” Sydney declares as we load into the truck.

Mark
Colin and Sydney insisted on driving us all to dinner.
The girls chatted in the backseat the entire way home as if they haven’t seen each other in months.
Colin and I were content to just listen.
I’m looking forward to years of these kind of nights.
We had a ton of fun. We could start doing game nights and include Garrett and Jane. We have to find someone for Trystan.
They drop us off, waiting til we get up the walkway and the door unlocked before taking off.
I close and lock the door behind us before kicking off my sandals.
She’s standing next to her couch, using her bare toes to slip off the back of her other sandal.
It’s such a normal thing, but I feel special that I get to witness these little things that nobody else is privy to.
“I needed that. Tonight was fun.” She exhales as she collapses backwards over the arm of the couch, flopping onto it with an ‘oof’. I smile and walk over to the arm of the couch, towering above her. Her dress is definitely in indecent territory, but she doesn’t care, and neither do I.
“What’s that look for?”
“You’re adorable, and I love how there’s these tiny moments that you’re allowing me to see that nobody else gets to.”
She pulls up onto her elbows and looks at me quizzically.
“Such as?”
“The way you toe off your shoes and collapse backward onto the couch, not caring that your dress is riding up and flashing me your panties. You’re just here with me, and I love you just as you are.”
“You and your words,” she teases, and I smile, thinking of the different times she’s said that to me.
I unbutton my jeans and crawl onto the couch on top of her.
She moans against my lips and slips her hands into my waistband to work them down with one hand while her other reaches for my hard length.
I help push down the other side of my jeans, baring my ass to the room.
It’s awkward, but I need her. I hook a finger into the crotch of her panties and pull them aside.
She’s already wet and just as ready for me.
I work into her with two slides, and we go at it like horny teenagers in the backseat of a car.
She comes with my name on her lips, and I follow closely behind her.
