Chapter Seven

Had she made a mistake? Where was Delaney? Scarlett paced the living room.

It’d been almost two hours since Brody had left, and in that time, her insecurities had gone crazy.

Unless things went horribly wrong, she was going to have sex tonight—with Brody. What if she did something stupid? Brody hadn’t blinked an eye when she’d ineptly tried to explain what she wanted. Instead, he’d turned the tables and made the moment hotter than anything she’d ever experienced. With only words.

She wasn’t such a smooth talker. But talking dirty wasn’t her only concern. Trying to get her marriage back on track, she’d experimented with different things, even gone as far as taking a burlesque class. She’d been so proud of herself and had been excited to show her husband what she’d learned.

And he’d laughed. Humiliated, she hadn’t finished the routine, and he hadn’t encouraged her to continue.

She’s stopped trying after that. What if Brody laughed? What if tonight just proved that she sucked in bed? A wave of nausea assaulted her.

Oh God. She couldn’t do this.

The front door opened behind her, and she whirled around.

“Thank God!”

Delaney froze just inside the door. “I’ve been gone a few hours. What the hell could have happened in that amount of time?”

“Lots.” Scarlett motioned for to hurry inside.

Delaney closed the door, rushed into the living room, and sat down on the couch. “Spill it.”

Where did she even begin? She bit her thumbnail. “Brody left a couple of hours ago.”

“Okay,” she drawled out the word.

“We made an arrangement.”

Delaney cocked her head.

Scarlett inhaled deeply. “We agreed to an adult relationship.”

“An adult relationship?” Delaney’s face screwed into a what-the-hell expression. “Is that some mature way of saying fuck buddies?”

A laugh shot out of Scarlett mouth. At least Delaney needed a clearer definition, too. “Not according to Brody. His definition of…” She hesitated over the next two words. Say it, girl. “Fuck buddies”—she suppressed a grin as satisfaction coursed through her—“means only having sex like a booty call. People in an adult relationship still go out before ending up in bed, and there are no strings attached.”

Delaney pursed her lips then shrugged. “Sounds like a sweet deal, Scar. I mean Brody wants to wine and dine you, rock your world, and there’s nothing expected. So…hell, yeah.”

Scarlett breathed a sigh. She didn’t know why it was so important for her to hear that from her friend, but it was. “So you don’t think I’m crazy?”

“Hell, no. If there’s one person who deserves to have some fun, it’s you.”

She deserved it, but deep down, the worry about disappointing Brody threatened to ruin that fun. What if Brody called uncle before the end of the night because she was too uptight? Could she recover from the humiliation on top of everything she’d already been through?

“What’s got you freaked?”

Good lord, was she wearing “I think I suck” on her forehead? “How can you tell I’m freaked?”

Delaney cocked a brow. “How long have we been friends?”

“Forever.”

“Exactly.”

Scarlett licked her lips. She hadn’t told Delaney everything about her marriage.
