sure I’ll find out details about her if and when the time is right, but whatever You do, don’t be that Guy. Don’t pursue her if You can’t get Your shit together.”
He leaned forward and gave Me a pointed look. “Don’t lead her on. You hated when sam did it to You, so don’t do it to this girl.”
I turned My attention to the salt and pepper shakers on the table as a distraction, and lightly tapped the top of the pepper. The dreaded sam. He had a point. I was still a little gun shy but I definitely wasn’t leading micah on.
I leaned back in the chair, crossing My arms over My chest. “Last night was the first time I let go in a long time. I laid it on the line. You of all people know I don’t do vulnerable, but last night I gave in. I opened up and let go. she was in My playroom, Josh. My fucking playroom.”
My throat suddenly felt dry. I took another swig of water. “You know I don’t bring anyone there. The experience was surreal and I feel some kind of way about her, that’s the scariest part. We’re still in the early stages, but I’m so incredibly taken with her.”
I paused for a moment, letting Josh take in what I’d just revealed before continuing, “she spent the night.”
Josh whistled. “Well, well, well. You had a woman over to Your place? You like her? she stayed overnight? And You didn’t fuck her? Am I following this okay?”
“Yeah. That’s an accurate summation.”
“Hmm, before You go letting Your heart into the game, why not have a little sexy time with her first? Test the waters before You commit. she could be a dud in the sack for all You know, and that would be tragic, My Friend.”
“Josh, You’re a pig,” I replied. “Pussy isn’t everything. Did You know there’s more to a woman than what’s between her legs?”
“There is? Who knew? I may be a pig, but I’m a pig who knows to test the waters before heavily investing in anything. Always test-drive the product.”
I shook My head. There was never a dull moment with Josh. I had no further desire to discuss micah. Josh was cool, but He didn’t get it. He may never get it.
I was thankful when He abruptly changed the subject.
He leaned forward again, hunching over the table. “Man, have I got a story for You. Met this chick the other night and had a fantastic time. Tight little body with out-of-this-world tits, and she gives the best head I’ve ever had.”
I shook My head again. Sometimes Josh had the mentality of a horny eighteen-year-old getting laid for the first time.
“Totally submissive, and I think she may even be a bit of a masochist.”
I laughed. “You’re getting Your dick sucked by some random broad? Did You forget You’re sharing Your unsafe sexual practices with a Doctor? For a Lawyer, a smart one at that, You indulge in some risky shit, Josh. A Guy in His forties should know better.”
“Whatever. It was invite-only so everyone was already prescreened. It’s not like I was messing around with a hooker. It was about fifty of us at Mistress Carlisle’s place. You know She throws some insane bashes.”
“What’s her name? Do You even know?” I asked.
Josh’s eyes darted around the café before focusing His attention on the menu.
I laughed out loud. “You don’t even know her name. Priceless.”
“I think it was lisa. Shit, I don’t know, but I hope I run into her again, that’s for sure. The woman had skills. I’m telling You, best of My life.”
I smirked as the waiter returned to take Our order. Josh and I continued to chat until Our food arrived. Since neither of Us had much more time to spare, We ate quickly and agreed to plan a run in the coming weeks before parting ways.
Before I left the café, I picked up some lunch for micah. Armed with a ham-and-cheese croissant, an apple, and a bottle of water, I swung by the florist and purchased a dozen Belle Rouge roses for My pretty girl. I could have chosen any flower, but when I saw the rich red petals, I thought of
