“Ooh, tell me,” Keene demanded, returning to the couch and plopping down right in front of me. “Kinsey bragged about me to her little sister, didn’t she? Did she tell you about what I can do with my tongue?”
When he glanced around the room in search of Raina, Raina shrugged. “I mean, she did say he made her come harder than anyone else ever had before.”
My face contorted into a grimace. “Yeah, I’mdefinitelynot telling him that.”
“What? What?” Keene begged. “Tell me.”
I shook my head and sighed. “Let’s just say you sent Kinsey off with a smile on her face, and Raina wanted to thank you for making her sister’s last few hours…”
When words failed me, Keene guessed, “Pleasurable? Euphoric? Explosive? Orgasmic?”
“Nice!” I cried, lifting my hands to stop him there. “You made her last nightnice. Okay? And Raina appreciates that.”
Nodding in delight, Keene smiled and glanced at Alec. “You hear that? My sexual prowess even has street cred among theghostsnow.”
As Alec pressed a hand to his brow and groaned, I scoffed. “No, you don’t. Raina’s not a ghost. She’s just a disembodied spirit until her body recovers. And her sister’s moved on, so there is no ghostly street credanywhere.”
“Still,” he said, not at all swayed. “People in the great beyond know how awesome I am in the sack. This isamazing.”
When Hudson hobbled into the room on his crutches, Keene spun with a grin. “Yo. Peeps in the afterlife know the power of my dick now.”
“You mean, that youareone?” Hudson teased as he maneuvered his crutches around the couch so he could sit with the rest of us. “Cool story, bro.”
Keene scowled at him, only to get distracted by the food as Hudson opened the lid of the first pizza box and fetched himself a piece of supreme. “Hey, don’t hog all of that.”
The rest of us followed suit, digging in.
Raina was grumbling about how much she wanted to taste a bite when Damien and Oaklynn arrived, hand in hand. Then, she paused and tipped her head as she watched them make their way over to the pizza and then sit together, where Oaklynn settled naturally onto Damien’s lap.
“Is it just me?” she asked. “Or does it look like those two just had some serious sex together?”
I choked on the bite I’d just swallowed and had to cough my airway free before answering, “I’m sure they did.”
When the others glanced at me in confusion, I said, “Sorry. Raina said it looked like Vargas and Archer just had sex.”
“Raina!” Oaklynn gasped in outrage.
And Raina slapped my arm. “Oh my God. I can’t believe you repeated that out loud.”
“Ouch!” Rubbing the side of my shoulder, I mumbled, “I didn’t realize that was a comment for my ears alone.”
“It’s true, though,” Keene spoke up. “Those two arealwaysgoing at it.”
“It’s pretty rude, too,” Hudson added. “Especially whensomeof our girlfriends are at work, and we can’t have any ourselves.”
“Hey, at least youhavea girlfriend,” Alec mumbled petulantly.
“And did Ghost Girl just slap you?” Keene asked, pointing at me.
I rolled my eyes. “She can’t be a ghost. She’s not dead.”
“But she touched you, didn’t she?” Oaklynn pressed, sitting up in interest. “I didn’t think she could do that.”
“Well, shecouldn’t,” I allowed. “Until today.” I glanced toward Hudson, wondering if this was a good time to tell Keene about his mom or wait until?—
The front door blew open, and Thane hurried inside. “Sorry, I’m late,” he rushed out the explanation. “I went shopping with Christine after school, and she wanted us to eat supper together afterward.”
None of us had gotten to meet Thane’s new girlfriend yet, and for some reason, that already gave her a negative strike in my book. But she always liked to eat at these places that he couldn’t stand, which was why no one was surprised when Alec splayed a hand toward the coffee table and offered, “Pizza?”
