I couldn’t wait.
Teresa huffed. “We’ve all got work tomorrow, Rafeo.”
“And it’s your right to go in hungover and leaking tequila from your pores,” I told her solemnly. “Doesn’t mean I’m gonna.”
“I plan on exercising that right,” she told me as she vanished into the kitchen. “Hey, Nev.”
A short while later, we were sitting around my dining table eating nachos while everyone but me sipped their margaritas. I’d opted out of one after seeing how much tequila Teresa added. Just as we were wiping our greasy fingers on napkins and getting ready to play, there was a knock at the door.
My pulse instinctively leaped, like it did every night when Dan knocked on my door. But he knew I had game night tonight, so I was frowning in confusion as I pushed back my chair and stood.
“Who is it?” Nev asked innocently, but I could hear the sly smile in his voice.
I rolled my eyes at him before heading for the hall. “Dunno.”
He leaned right back in his seat, balancing it on two legs so he could see through the living room door and into the front hall as I went to answer.
I had no idea how to react when I opened the door and saw a man standing there.
In a skintight black latex bodysuit.
On my front porch.
My mouth fell open as I stared in shocked silence. The guy didn’t move, just stood there proudly. Still in a skintight latex bodysuit, on my front porch.
I slowly dragged my gaze up, too stunned to speak. My breath wheezed out of me when finally, I noticed the familiar blue eyes through the latex mask’s eye holes.
And within the mouth hole, that crooked grin.
“Hey, kitten,” Dan rasped.

I still hadn’t regained the ability to form words when Dan chuckled and moved past me to step inside.
“Better let me in before the neighbours see, handsome.”
From the living room, I heard a faint choking sound.
When I finally found the brainpower to close the door and turn around, Dan was reaching back to unzip the back of the mask so he could pull it off his head. He grinned at me as he shoved a hand through his hair.
“Like it?” He smirked. “Ordered it after you mentioned the gloves.”
“I—” I swallowed thickly, still not sure how to react. The suit was tight tight. I could see everything.
There was a zipper on the crotch.
“Picked it up after work,” he told me, resting his hands on his hips and looking down at himself proudly. “When I saw that your friends weren’t here, I thought I’d come over a little earlier.”
“My… my friends are here,” I said faintly.
“Huh?” Dan frowned. “But their cars aren’t…”
He trailed off when he looked to his left, through the living room door. Still dazed, and now uncomfortably horny, I followed his gaze and saw all of my friends crowded around Nev’s chair to get a clear shot into the hall. They were staring at Dan in stunned silence.
