“Yes,” I whimper. Hazel sucks my clit into her mouth, flicking it with her tongue while her fingers curl inside me. “Oh…oh, my god. Oh my…fffffuck.” I dig my nails into River’s thighs when I explode on Hazel’s tongue and fingers. She kisses and sucks my pussy through it until my legs relax and fall…

“Yeah?” “Are you okay?” She bursts into tears. “No,” she says. “I’m not okay. I just…I love him so much. I don’t know what to do.” “Well, what happened?” I ask. “You can tell me; I won’t tell anyone.” “I’m not supposed to talk about it,” she says. “Well, it seems like you need to…

“Brady is the OG. He’s been with Rhett since they were first getting started. And Layla has been with them since the first album, so probably…eighteen months, right Layla?” So those two—they did know Bridget.

“I heard you might have some questions for me,” he says. …Is he serious? “I have…nothing but questions. But are you actually going to answer them?” I ask. He shrugs. “Maybe. If I feel like it. I’ll give you three.” “Okay…” I go through my mental Rolodex and try to pull out one of my…

He flips them off as he walks through the door. “Sorry about that, Teagan,” River says. “It’s fine,” I tell her. Because what…
