He would have been content to snuggle with the beautiful woman beside him forever—they’d both moved to a more proper bed position with their heads on the pillows and a blanket wrapped around their waists—but his phone rang with a distinct ringtone he didn’t want to ignore. He glanced at Theresa. She was out like a light, not even hearing the music, so he rolled away from her, awkwardly fumbling with his pants while also groping for his cell phone and ducking into the bathroom.

“So what do you call a hen looking at lettuce?” the voice on the other end of the line said.

Alex smiled. “Hello, Darren.”

“A chicken Caesar salad!”

It was always like that with Darren, because Darren made it his goal in life to get everyone to hate-laugh at his dad jokes. That’s what Alex called it, anyway, hate-laughing; any respectable adult should loathe the fact that they were actually enjoying jokes written for six-year-olds.

“That’s awful. I see Maddy hasn’t beaten that out of you yet.”

“It’s loving flagellation, thank you very much.”

“I hope you’re kidding.” Darren had taken up with Sol’s fabulous ex-wife, Maddy. Maddy was in no particular order an heiress, a celebrity, and a renowned kinkstress with enough BDSM accoutrements to open her own dungeon. Alex didn’t like to think about that last thing too much for two reasons: one, that was her private business, even if she was more than eager to share it, and two, he couldn’t separate Maddy’s life from his brother’s. The last thing Alex wanted or needed was to think about Sol’s more sordid antics.

But don’t think I didn’t notice the collar on the fiancée, Sol.

“She does tours, you know,” Darren chimed in. “Of the dick gallery on the Capulet. We could head out to the dock after the wedding. It’s pretty fantastic. Did you know she has a Catherine the Great cock chair? I told her I wanted a toilet like that one day.”

“Darren—” Alex started.

“We’re downstairs, by the way, waiting for you,” Darren interrupted. “Before you launch into saving my soul or doing that weird sniff thing you do whenever you’re uncomfortable.”

“What weird sniff thing?” Alex said, nostrils flaring as he sucked in a deep breath.

Oh, that sniff thing.

Fuck you, Darren.

“Yeah, that one. Come downstairs and say hi. I’ve missed you, man.”

“I’ve missed you, too. Be down in a few minutes.”

Alex didn’t remember until after he’d hung up that he’d fucked Theresa not a half hour ago in the very same pants he was wearing. That warranted a shower and a fresh change of clothes at the very least, but he’d promised his friend he’d be down imminently, and imminent he’d be. They’d probably traveled awhile and wouldn’t check in until he made his appearance.

The wash of shame was something he hadn’t practiced since his misspent youth in college, but there he was, scrubbing himself down in Theresa’s bathroom sink with some floral soap he hoped no one smelled because he wasn’t a roses type of guy. He checked his
