a
couple of times a week, Sam was starting to worry about her friend.
“Where
is he?” Sam inquired, glancing over at Sierra then back at Ashleigh.
“He’s
at a conference in Austin. Both he and Cole left this morning. I think my
brother’s joining them on this trip as well.” Ashleigh offered, but she didn’t
look happy about the news.
“How
long will they be gone?”
“Until
tomorrow.” Sierra said. “Alex has been gone a lot lately, I hear.”
Sam
knew he had been, she worked for the man. But she also knew it wasn’t always business
that was taking him away, but no one seemed to know what or who was taking up
so much of his time.
“I
guess. I’m too busy to notice most of the time.” Ashleigh looked as though she
wanted to be talking about anything except for Alex, and Sam couldn’t fault her
for it. If she didn’t want to talk about it, obvious from her apparent lie, she
didn’t want to push.
“So,
tell me more about this BDSM equipment that you’ve got up in your gameroom.”
Sam asked Sierra, immediately changing the subject for Ashleigh’s sake.
Sierra
blushed profusely which made Sam smile.
“It’s
interesting, I can tell you that much.”
Sierra’s
lack of detail was a little disappointing, but Sam hadn’t made it that far in
life by not asking questions. “Have you guys added any more to the collection?”
“Collection?”
Sierra’s eyes widened. “I wouldn’t say that the couple of things we have would constitute
a collection, but no, none of us have an interest in that sort of thing.”
Sam
didn’t imagine Sierra needed much outside stimulation when she was currently
the filling in one hell of a sex sandwich. She knew from experience exactly
what it was like to have two men focused intently on her and even if she only
admitted it to herself, she felt a pang of jealousy.
Obviously
they were going to dodge topics today because Ashleigh quickly changed the
subject, this time talking about her current novel in the works. That was one
thing they’d all three gotten used to in the past few weeks. Ashleigh, also
known as Ashton Leigh, seemed thrilled with the idea that she now had a couple
of people to bounce her ideas off of.
“I
need for one of you to explain what it’s like to have a threesome.” She stunned
them both simultaneously.
“Ummm,
like in detail?” Sierra asked, glancing to Sam as though she wanted help with
getting out of this one.
“Yes.”
“Are
you telling me that you’ve never had a threesome?” Sam asked, knowing the
answer, but trying to get Ashleigh to talk.
“That’s
what I’m saying.” She confirmed, smiling. “And don’t go acting like it’s an everyday
occurrence. I seriously doubt you had one before you met Logan.”
“True.”
Sam said, but then realized she couldn’t very well go into detail because the
only person she’d experienced a ménage with was Luke. Since Sierra was at the
table, she wasn’t comfortable sharing those intimate details. Not that she would
anyway.
“Are
you considering having a threesome?” Sierra asked, concern written on her face.
“Oh
goodness no. Well, not in the near future anyway. I’m in the middle of planning
out my next book, and I think my readers would seriously get into the idea of a
ménage, but since I don’t have a clue what it’s like, I can’t very well write
about it.”
“Are
you telling me that you have firsthand experience on everything you’ve written
about? Because let me tell you, I’ve read your books, and some of the things
you write about are well past anything I could have ever fantasized about.” Sam
offered, leaning back when the waitress came with their food.
The
three of them had to wait once more while their food was placed in front of
them, and their waitress happily checked to see if they needed anything else.
As soon as the woman was out of earshot, Sam stared at Ashleigh, waiting for
her answer.
“Well,
no, that’s not what I’m saying. It’s
