Rox held up a bottle of whiskey, and Fi pulled red solo cups from out of nowhere. Who were these women?

“Spill!” Rox demanded while she poured large cups for us. I took it from her and sat back on the bed.

“What are you all doing up here?” I grumbled.

“What happened?” Fi asked.

Dinah gave them a look, and she sat next to me. She pulled me into her arms and gave me a big hug. I leaned into her, and the floodgates opened up. The tears of frustration spilled out while my new sister-in-law rubbed my back and told me it was going to be okay.

I pulled away and wiped the tears away.

Rox looked pissed off. “What the fuck did he do?”

“Down girl!” Fi laughed and took a swig of her whiskey.

I chugged mine, too. “I’m gonna die a virgin.”

Dinah blinked at me while Rox and Fi shared an amused look. “Come again?” my sister-in-law asked.

“We didn’t have a condom⁠—”

“You didn’t go without, right?” Rox cut me off. “You should always wrap it up.”

“Paranoid,” Fi teased.

“Looking out for the girl,” Rox explained with a glare.

Dinah shushed them. “Maddie… I didn’t realize you weren’t experienced. I wouldn’t have encouraged you to hook up with Cally had I known.”

“Why not?” I cried and gulped down more of my whiskey.

Dinah pursed her lips. “Your first time should be special.”

Fi snorted. “My first time was a quickie with Riley in my parents’ basement. It doesn’t have to be special, D.”

“True,” Rox agreed. “Pretty sure I got fucked in the backseat of a car. Or was it underneath the bleachers? I forget. But it wasn’t great.”

“I want to have sex!” I exclaimed.

Rox busted up laughing. “Holy shit! I forgot that you’re not all timid and shit like Noah.”

I laughed with her. “It’s not like I’m completely innocent. I’m pretty good at blowies.”

That made all of them laugh.

Rox put her hands up in the air. “Okay, hold up. Let’s discuss this. So you’ve had oral sex?”

I nodded. A lot of oral sex. Always got to third base but never got to run home. Which never made sense to me. These guys were so afraid of my brother, they didn’t want to deflower me, but they were fine with me giving them head. Men had weird logic.

“That’s still sex,” Rox said. “Virginity’s a social construct, and it’s heteronormative to assume sex only means with a dick in a pussy.”

“Okay…” I agreed with her. “But I want to get railed by a hot guy who knows how to use his dick.”

Dinah snorted. “I love how ridiculous you are.”

I pinched her side. “Because you’re exactly the same way.”

“Yeah, this is the girl that says ‘Eat pussy. Don’t cheat’ when the boys ask for dating advice,” Rox said with a laugh.
