“Can you cook?” Thalia questioned.
“Yes?”
“Good. Roo loves his food; he taught himself when Kit was born because he wanted to ensure his kids ateright,” Tati explained.
“Do you have jeans? Tight ones? Rooster loves tits and asses,” Alice inquired.
“How do you know that?” Sallie-Anne demanded.
“Because I asked him. The more junk in the trunk, the happier Rooster is,” Alice retorted.
“You’re all lunatics,” I exclaimed, worried about my health.
“Yes, and we own that shit.” Madisen grinned.
“Skinny jeans, and have you got any low-cut tops? And while I love your make-up, it’s subtle, your eyes are gorgeous and need to pop,” Thalia asked, tilting her head.
“Yeah, they make me want to eat her,” Bunny said.
“I beg your pardon?” I exclaimed, my mind going somewhere dirty.
“Oh no! I meant they are like liquid chocolate, and now I wanna lick you to see if you taste like it,” Bunny explained as everybody fell into fits of laughter.
Bunny didn’t look abashed at all by her words. I pointedly got up and moved seats, keeping a sharp eye on her as everyone around me started chuckling.
“I’ll get a lick one day. And I like vanilla and coconut, too,” Bunny murmured, her eyes watching me.
“That’s why you keep sniffing me, and you did lick me the other day!” Sallie-Anne exclaimed.
“I plead the fifth,” Bunny retorted.
“No wonder Pyro sometimes smells of vanilla and coconut. I bet you drop to your knees, you dirtywhore,” Tati teased.
Bunny laughed. “Oh, sister, you have no idea!”
“What smell does Rooster like?” Madisen wondered.
“Bacon, but I don’t think they do a spray with a bacon scent,” Chey answered.
The others looked intrigued and horrified. I pondered what on earth was going through their minds.
“If we spray Kendara with bacon, she’ll be on her back for the rest of her life or running. It will bring every single man out of the closet hunting her,” Alice said.
The images that ran through my mind as a line of faceless men lined up for sex made me shiver and squeal a denial. “No!”
“Yeah, that is not a good idea, Clio,” Chey decided, shaking her head.
“How about we let things develop naturally?” I suggested.
“But that is so boring.” Sallie-Anne sighed.
“We want Rooster and the boys to be happy,” Bunny interjected.
“And he’s put you up in his house, which means he is interested,” Tati added.
“Well, Kendara’s doing something right. Maybe we should just let her forge her own path?” Thalia asked.
I nodded vigorously as the other women groaned or shook their heads at Thalia in disgust.
