sure.
“Well, duh, he’d have to be blind not to be. Come on, Willa, if I were a guy, I’d do you.”
“Danny!” But she laughed. She’d never had a friend like Danny before. She was so refreshing.
“Oh, don’t ‘Danny’ me. Come on. Tell me if it was as good as I know it was. Hurry up before Gabe gets back and catches me on the phone. He’ll fuss at me for meddling.” She paused. “Hmm, that could be good though.”
“You’re awful. I think you enjoy getting caught. You’re so twisted.”
“You know it, so fess up.”
“Oh, all right.” She laughed. Danny was a force of nature. “He was incredible. I’m probably bowlegged, but oh, it was so worth it. I didn’t know it was possible to have so many orgasms in one night.”
“I knew it. He just had that look. I want every little de—” Her words were cut off as there was a sudden tussle on the other end of the phone. Willa heard Gabe’s deep voice right before Danny came back on the line whispering, “I’ll have to call you back, Willa.” The line disconnected, and Willa couldn’t help but laugh. Her friend was in for it now.
She’d just tucked her phone back into her pocket when it rang again. Laughing, she answered. “Shouldn’t you be over someone’s knee right now?”
“Is that the type of people you associate with now, Willamena?” The pompous voice of Jeffery Montgomery almost caused Willa to drop the phone. Lord, what could her father-in-law want? It had been months since he’d called, though it was usually to harass her. He felt it was a blight on the Montgomery family name to have his former daughter-in-law working in such a menial task as an innkeeper.
Well, she was done being bullied by him. “What do you want Jeffery?”
“I was calling to try and talk some sense into you, yet again. Your poor mother is beside herself. Stop this foolishness and come home.”
“We’ve been through this. I’m done with that life. If my mother was really that distraught, she could call me herself instead of sending her lover to do it.”
“Now just a minute, young lady. You will not talk about your mother like that.”
“What, you thought I didn’t know? Well, news flash, Jeffery, everyone knows. They are just too polite to say anything. However, as you’ve pointed out, I don’t have that problem. Leave me be.” That said, she hit the disconnect button on the phone, feeling liberated. Who’d have thought fucking like wild rabbits would free her of more than just her morals.
The sound of clapping brought her up short. She spun around to find Jake standing in the doorway behind her.
* * * *
Jake knew he’d been a dick ignoring her all day, but after his little nut-job performance the night before, he wasn’t sure how to approach her. He’d woken up practically screaming like a pansy, and then how’d he reacted? Like a Neanderthal. He’d all but fucked her brains out. He’d felt like shit when he’d seen her wince when she moved this morning. She was a beautiful classy lady, and he’d treated her like a cheap hooker he’d picked up on a street corner.
He’d made up his mind to come apologize, but then her phone had rung. He hadn’t really intended to eavesdrop, but when he’d realized it was Danny, he hadn’t been able to help himself. It was obvious they were talking about him. His ego had been doing much better when she’d hung up the phone. When it had rung again, he thought, like she had, it had to be Danny again, but the frosty tone in her voice told him otherwise. He’d been ready to go grab the phone from her when she’d given the caller hell.
And just like that, the sex-starved Neanderthal was rearing his head. He pushed it down. She didn’t need him all over her like a dog. He’d come to apologize, not throw her over the table and shove her skirt up, again.
“Ah…” she began, blushing at his applause. “Did you get everything done you wanted to do today?”
“Hmm? Oh yes. I made a
