“I can’t face him, not after this!” Meghan seems genuinely distressed until Ana drops onto the couch beside her and slaps her bare thigh.
“It’s not about you, Meghan. Geez, loosen up a little will you? Emma is in her young, sexy and fuckable era!”
My cheeks warm at the thought and I quickly drain the glass in my hand. The alcohol burns down my throat, forcing a shiver out of me.
“You’re being a cheater, you know?” Meghan says, bringing my bubble of excitement to a swift end.
I meet her gaze. “Excuse me?”
“You’re being a cheater, flouncing around with all those men.”
“Oh, Meghan,” Ana sighs sharply.
“One, it’s not cheating because in case you haven’t noticed, I’m not in any kind of relationship so I am free to sleep with whoever I want to.” I set the empty glass down and Ana moves to refill it. “Second, it’s not that deep. Really, I’m just having some fun and no one is getting hurt.”
“Exactly.” Ana backs me up. “There’s no rules like that with a one-night stand and you would know that if you unbunched your panties and let someone in to clear out the mothballs.”
“Ana!” Meghan snaps. “I just think it’s not nice, that’s all.”
“For who?” I ask, genuinely curious who she thinks is getting hurt here. “I’ve been having the time of my life and frankly, I think I deserve it after what happened to my car.”
“But they’re teachers!”
“No one will find out.” Ana hands me my topped-up glass, then drapes back over to Meghan. “Besides, haven’t you ever fantasized about a teacher?” Ana wiggles her brows and Meghan blushes deeply.
“That’s not the point?—”
“You have!” Ana screeches with laughter. “Okay, tell me who.”
I leave them to work out the details of Meghan’s fantasy and head for the bedroom. Forgoing a shower since we’re already running late, I decide to change into a silver halter top and black leggings but just as I finish dressing at top speed, a light behind me catches my eye in the mirror’s reflection.
My phone sits neatly on top of my pillow.
“Oh my God!” Flying toward it, I scoop it up and then pause. Thinking back to earlier, I didn’t remember leaving my phone there but given how tired I was, it’s not unusual.
“Everything okay?” Ana comes flying into the room with Meghan close behind her, so I hold my phone up with a big smile.
“Found my phone!”
“Yay!” they cheer in unison, then Ana reaches out for me. “Come on, let’s go get drunk.”
The club is heaving with people and if it wasn’t for the fact that we refused to let go of each other's hands, there’s a chance we all would have gotten separated pretty early in the night. Drinks flow, music thrums, and we dance like there’s nothing left in the world to care about. I’m walking on air, completely wrapped in a cloud of satisfaction. Asher, Caspian, and now Finn. Men really knew how to take care of a woman, and I knew right then that no one else would ever compare to how they made me feel. If I was lucky, really lucky, maybe I would get a round two with each of them. Or any of them. One thing was clear though; my desire for Finn and my growing infatuation for the other two were not going anywhere. I wanted them as desperately as I wanted air.
The night passed by quickly, but just as Ana suggested shots, something cold curled in my gut. A strange foggy sensation began to fill my head and my throat grew terribly dry.
“Can you order me a water?” I call over the sound of the music.
“Boring!” Ana yells.
“Please! I think I’m dehydrated.” With a chuckle, Ana rolls her eyes then nods.
“Thanks, I’m just gonna use the bathroom, be right back.”
“You want me to come with you?” Meghan asks, clutching at my hand.
“No, it’s okay. Help Ana with the drinks.”
Meghan turns back to the bar and I step away, only to lose my balance on my heel and stumble into a stranger. She catches me with a laugh though, and after asking if I’m okay, sends me on my way through the crowd toward the bathroom.
