“Damn, I forgot to put the sheets in the dryer. They’l stil be soaked!” I grumbled.

“Problem solved. Slumber party at Simon’s,” he announced, pul ing open my lingerie drawer. “Pick a nightie, any nightie.”

“You want to stay at your place tonight?”

“Yeah, why not? We’ve been sleeping here since we got back from Spain. My bed’s lonely.” He ruffled through piles of lace and peekaboo.

Hmm, his bed was probably lonelier that it had ever been before.

“So, pick one.” He gave my ass another slap.

“Eh, you pick out something you like. I’l model it for you.” I grinned, talking myself into this. Come on, I could certainly spend the night in his bed.

Could be fun. I saw a familiar something pink and lacy make its way under his arm, and then we were off across the hal way. I managed to kick his

door on the way in, something pretty hard to do while upside down.

Once more, I found myself in a bathroom, putting on lingerie for Simon. He real y liked everything I wore. Whether it was actual lingerie or one

of his old shirts, he didn’t seem to care. And it was rarely on for very long.

Without meaning to, I thought of al the women who’d come before me, al the women he’d enjoyed and had enjoyed him. But I was here now,

and I was who he wanted. I smoothed the silk over my body with a deep breath, my skin already beginning to tingle in anticipation of his hands.

I heard him messing about with his record player—the tel tale crackle and pop of needle on vinyl such a comforting sound.

Glenn Mil er. “Moonlight Serenade.” Sigh.

I opened the door, and there he was. Standing by the giant Wal banger bed of sin. His slow grin overtook me, and he looked me up and down.

“You look good,” he murmured as I walked in.

“You too.”

“I’m wearing the same clothes I was wearing earlier, Caroline.”

He smirked as I encircled his neck with my arms. His fingertips dragged up and down my arms, tickling the inside of my elbow.

“I know,” I replied, placing a wet kiss under his ear. “You looked good then, and you look good now.”

“Lemme get a better look at you,” he whispered, responding with his own wet kiss at the base of my throat. I shivered. The room wasn’t at al

cold.

He spun me out, as if on a dance floor, and held me at arm’s length for just a moment. The pink nightie, his favorite. He’d neglected to bring the

matching panties, and I neglected to notice. He spun me back into him, and I immediately began to work the buttons on his shirt.

“Quite a night tonight,” he remarked.

Two buttons down.

“You’re tel ing me. I can’t believe those two were matchmaking from the very beginning! Although I don’t think they can take credit for the other

two couples. That was al us.”

“Who knew love was in the air when you banged on my door?”

Another button down.

“Luckily, you were so taken by my charms, it was inevitable.”

“It was the nightie, Caroline. It was the nightie that did me in. The charms were a bonus. I had no idea I’d be getting a girlfriend out of the deal.”

Shirt untucked and on its way off.

“Real y? And here I thought we were just messing around!” I giggled, scrambling to get his belt buckle poked through.

“Wel , then, here’s to messing around with my girlfriend!” Belt buckle undone, jean buttons popped. Thank goodness for the old-fashioned

button fly. He picked me up, by my naked bottom I might add, and walked me to the bed as I pushed his shirt off. It hung from him by the sleeves.

“I like the sound of that,” I whispered in his ear as he laid me down on the bed.

Hovering over me, placing kisses across my chest, he kept saying the word over and over again. Girlfriend, then kiss. Girlfriend, girlfriend, then

kiss.



“Did you know Mimi and Neil are thinking about moving in together? Isn’t that a little soon? I hope they know what they’re getting into,” I

reported, arching up to meet his kisses.

“I know what I’m getting in to.”

“What’s that?”

“You, sil y,” he said, and I heard the blessed sound of his belt buckle hitting the floor. “I’m only concerned with our happy ending. Or two, or three

even. Drank that ginseng tea you left me this morning—watch out.” He chuckled, lifting one of my legs on to his shoulder and kissing a path down

the inside of my calf.

“Happy ending, huh?”

“Don’t you think we’ve earned it?” he asked, kneeling now, lips trailing along the top of my thigh as I panted.

“Oh, hel , yes,” I laughed, throwing my arms over my head and arching up to meet him. Hel o, O! Nice to see you again. With his lips, he brought
