“Same. Let go,” Beck barked, thrusting wildly into her fluttering cunt.
“Jesus, I’m coming!” Seth choked out, driving into her with teeth bared.
As they shattered together, their roars and screams rolled through the room.
Once the peak passed, defeat washed over Beck. He wasn’t a man who liked or accepted failure, but tonight Seth’s fears had won. Still, the evening hadn’t been a complete debacle. Seth had nearly penetrated their girl without protection. He was wavering. Beck just had to keep nudging, figure out some way to assure Seth that the benefits of starting a family with their girl outweighed the risks. Reminding him how magical it had felt the one time they’d taken Heavenly together without a single barrier wouldn’t hurt.
Either way, Beck refused to give up hope that sooner or later Seth would bury the past for good and fully commit to their future.
Thirty hours later, Beck gathered up the chips and cards from Buddy’s bachelor poker party, then checked his watch for the hundredth time. It was late. He shot Seth a grim stare. While they’d spent the evening giving raunchy toasts and telling crude jokes, accompanied by booze and laughter, as the hours slid by Beck had begun to worry. What debauchery were Gloria and her girls introducing Heavenly to? And where the hell were they?
“Relax, boys.” Buddy clapped him and Seth each on the shoulder. “Your girl is fine.”
“Is she?” Seth’s question sounded like a whip. “It’s nearly two a.m. What the fuck can they be doing?”
“Who knows? Remember, that’s the middle of the day for Gloria.”
“But not for Heavenly,” Beck shot back.
“Gloria is watching over her like a hawk. She’ll know when Heavenly’s had enough and bring her straight home.”
The words had barely cleared his lips when the front door swung open. Beck and Seth nearly gave themselves whiplash as they whirled to the sound.
Gloria and Heavenly—both clearly shit-faced and clinging to one another while sipping booze from plastic penis-shaped bottles—staggered into the foyer.
“Son of a bitch.” Seth scrubbed a hand down his face.
Buddy cursed under his breath. “I’ll start some coffee.”
As the groom-to-be raced for the kitchen and dumped grounds into the brewer, Gloria swayed into the room, wobbling on her stilettos and blowing at the veil of flashing neon-pink penises slipping off her head. It would be funny—if Beck wasn’t so pissed.
“Oh, boyssss, we’re hoooome,” his ex-wife sang.
Beck and Seth raced toward the drunken pair. Beck slung an arm around Gloria’s waist while Seth secured their girl, making sure she didn’t face-plant on the tile.
With a loopy, bleary-eyed grin, Heavenly glanced between him and Seth. Then suddenly, she frowned. “Sumthin’s wrong wiff the floor. Isss moving.”
“Oh, fuck,” Beck groaned. “Her hangover tomorrow…”
“One for the ages, she and Gloria both,” Seth grumbled, then nodded at Heavenly. “It’s all right, angel. I’ve got you.”
“I love you,” she said with a dreamy sigh.
“I love you, too,” Seth assured as he and Beck began herding her and Gloria toward the living room.
“And I love you,” Heavenly told Beck. “Even if Gloria got you first.”
“It doesn’t matter if I was first,” his ex insisted vehemently. “You’re his last, honey.”
Heavenly nodded as she slurped up the last of the drink from her plastic penis bottle. Scowling, she reached over and grabbed Gloria’s, then sipped some of her cocktail. “Mmm. Thass so good. What is it?”
“Iss vodka and crabberry juice,” Gloria slurred back.
“Buddy, make that coffee extra strong,” Beck called over his shoulder as he and Seth settled the tipsy duo onto the couch.
“Already did. It’s brewing now.”
“Buddy? Buddy?” Gloria yelled. “Where’s my big daddy?”
“I’m right here, baby girl.” He waved to her from the kitchen.
“How was your poker game?”
“It was great.”
“Did you save some pokin’ for me?” Gloria snorted and giggled.
“Always.” Buddy grinned.
After flanking their girl on the couch, Seth turned to her and smiled. “Did you have a good time, angel?”
Beck smiled tightly. “It definitely looks like you did.”
“I had a blast!” She tossed her arms in the air, nearly sending her plastic penis flying.
“Buddy!” Gloria yelled to her man in kitchen.
“Yes, love.”
“I’m marrying your sexy ass tomorrow.”
“Actually, make that later today, baby girl.” He winked. “Hopefully, you’ll be sober by then.”
Gloria gasped dramatically. “I’m not drunk. I’m…happy.”
“Me, too.” Heavenly sipped more air from her penis bottle, then scowled. “Iss all gone.”
“It’s okay, little girl. Buddy is making you some coffee,” Beck assured. “Tell us everything you drank tonight.”
“Umm, lesss see. First, we had champagne, then we had sex in the sand.”
“No, no, no. Sex on the beach,” Gloria corrected, then dissolved into more snorting laughter.
“Oh, yeah…on the beach. Then the girls… Oh, my gosh, you guys, Gloria’s girls are so sweet. I never met hookers before. But they were awesome! They gave me all kinds of tips on things to try in the bedroom.” Heavenly’s dimpled smile was full of mischief.
