Fawn turned hers over with a small, shy smile.
My eyes widened. “You did not name your dildo Augie!”
She burst into laughter. “The guy at the shop said that he could personalize it with any name, but that most women chose names of men they had crushes on. You know, so you kinda have your crush inside you when you…you know.”
“And you chose Augie? The guy is an asshole. Nobody likes him. I mean, we love him because he’s family, but he’s an ass.”
She shrugged. “He’s not to me. I like him.”
“Jesus. That’s a worry.” But I didn’t want to harp on about it. If she truly had a thing for Augie, there was nothing I could do about it. Except castrate the fucker if he ever hurt her.
I focused on Lyric. “What about you? If you have Phoenix’s name down the side of your dildo, I’m going to be very concerned.”
Lyric let out a scoff. “Nope.” She twisted her dildo over to show off the letters imprinted in the side.Lyric.“Got my own name. Don’t need no man in my life, or on my dildo. I’ll leave that to the two of you.”
“Hey! I don’t need no man in my life either. You’re the one who named my dildo Boston.”
A hovering waiter gave us a dirty look. I shot one right back. The place was practically empty. He could quit being a prude.
Lyric picked up a menu and cast an eye over it, even though we all knew we’d order the exact same thing we did every week we met here for lunch. I’d get the Caesar salad. Lyric would get a burger and fries. Fawn would get pasta.
Lyric tapped a fingernail against her regular burger order, but her words were directed at me. “Please. You can lie to yourself all you want, but the chemistry between you and that cop? Freaking sizzling.”
“The man arrested me. And then called me a hooker.”
“So? How many times have you been arrested now? And he’s hardly the first person to assume that stripping leads to more. The man is sexy as sin, Eve. Don’t even pretend to me that you don’t want to jump his bones. We could practically smell the pheromones pouring off you the other night.”
My mouth dropped open. “Excuse me? There were no pheromones.”
Fawn snorted. “Seriously, I got horny watching the two of you. It was like watching porn, but better because the acting wasn’t fake.”
I slapped her on the arm. “You’ve been hanging out with Lyric too long.”
“Hey! Why say that like it’s a bad thing? Our baby stripper here needed to be taught the ways of the world. So I taught her. She’s my little protégé now.” Lyric raised her chin proudly and patted Fawn on the head like she was a puppy.
I tossed my hair back with a grin and caught the eye of the waiter. “He’s glaring at us again,” I told the others. “Best put the evil sex toys away before he kicks us out. I really want that chicken Caesar salad.”
Fawn side-eyed me. “So you’re keeping your gift then?”
I threw the dildo inside my bag. It was big, thick, and yeah, I could definitely have a good time with it.
It had nothing to do with the fact it had Boston’s name on it.
But the reminder of him while I was getting myself off probably wouldn’t hurt.

EVE
Ispent the rest of the afternoon running errands, both personal and things we needed at the club. I went home, did some laundry, cleaned my bathroom, and was just beginning to think about what to do for dinner when my phone rang.
I noted the unknown number but didn’t think twice about answering it. “Hello?”
“Eve. It’s William Reed.”
“Bye.”
“No, wait, please. I just want to talk. I’m trying to offer an olive branch. I’m just asking for one minute of your time.”
