“I’m not doing it out revenge, Suki. Just because I spent my life committed to being with one man didn’t mean I didn’t have fantasies or thoughts or imagined other men. I simply didn’t act on those thoughts. Now. I have three very hot men who want to be in a relationship with me. Why the fuck should I hold back simply because a week ago I was committed.”
“Ooh, I like where this conversation is going.” responsible for more of his billable hours in the month than the rest of his clients combined together.”
“Yes. I remember her.”
“She looked a lot like Denise.”
“Yeah but just because she looked like her doesn’t mean she slept with your husband.”
“It’s true. She might not have but she may have and if that’s the case, why am I hesitating to move on with my life when he didn’t value what we had?” She twisted her lips, “I’m not wasting another day staying loyal to a man who didn’t deserve it. He got to explore his other sides and indulge in all the things he ever fantasized about. I’m going to do the same.”
“I want you to test the waters of your sexuality, Juni. I’m all for it, but don’t do it out of revenge against Kyst. Do it for you.”
“I’m not doing it out revenge, Suki. Just because I spent my life committed to being with one man didn’t mean I didn’t have fantasies or thoughts or imagined other men. I simply didn’t act on those thoughts. Now. I have three very hot men who want to be in a relationship with me. Why the fuck should I hold back simply because a week ago I was committed.”
“Ooh, I like where this conversation is going.”
The comment from the space between the hallway to the bedrooms and the kitchen made the two women swing their eyes to the man lounging in the doorway.
“Oh, Juni,” Suki sputtered at Adil, “you slept next to that all night and didn’t grope it even once?” her eyes were trained on his waist.
Adil put his hands over his crotch, “Suki! Behave.”
“If you don’t want a girl to look, don’t come out here swinging it around in loose fitting cotton pants!”
Juniper chuckled at Suki’s words and Adil held his hand out to Juniper.
“Come here and protect me from your pervy friend.”
“She’s not pervy, merely observant.” She didn’t hesitate though to move into his arms.
“I was listening to you for a minute. You think he cheated on you. before?”
“Maybe?”
“How much do you want to know?”
“Do you have proof of it happening already?”
“Nope. If you want it though, I can put my entire team on it to find out everything you want to know. If he has secrets, I can expose them. How deep do you want me to dig, Juniper?”
“I want you to dig until you come out the other side, Adil. I need to know for my peace of mind.”
“Okay. I’ll get it done,” he kissed her forehead and hugged her to his chest. “Phineas is taking the world’s coldest shower because I put some very filthy thoughts into his head about the three of us and Beni is rifling through your wardrobe because he wants to pick your clothing out for today. I am going to go meet my PA downstairs who is bringing me a change of clothes and your surprise. I think Phineas’ PA is supposed to show up sometime this morning as well with clothing for him so he can go to work from here.”
“You all have a PA?” she questioned quietly.
“Beni has an administrative assistant but both Phineas and I have both personal and administrative assistants because our lives are stupid busy. I am terrible for getting somewhere and realizing I forgot something, and I needed someone who would run my errands or pick up my dry cleaning or fix my schedules. Phineas runs so many businesses, some of it on our behalf, he needs someone for both his private and business matters.”
“Are they pretty?”
“Yup.” He lifted her up suddenly and forced her legs around his waist, “very pretty. I don’t hire ugly people. Pretty people get admitted into places casier than ugly people and if I need to get into a building, sometimes it’s easier to send a woman to get me in. I know he hurt you, but you’re going to need to trust us when we say we don’t shit where we eat, Juniper and we’re loyal to you. Only to you. Remember this.”
“I will.” She tried not to focus on the way his hands were squeezing her ass.
“You two are sexy as fuck,” Suki blurted out. “I want to be sexy with someone.”
“Yeah we are,” Adil grinned at her over Juniper’s shoulder, and he carried Juniper to the counter and set her down. “How are you at cooking breakfast?”
“You want me to cook breakfast?”
“Yes. I want you to cook food for me.”
“No, you don’t,” Suki snorted. “She can cook but it’s not great. Kyst did all the cooking for her.”
“And my mom did too. I make a mean peanut butter on toast.”
“Phineas!” Adil yelled loudly and both women pulled their heads back in surprise. “Juniper isn’t a good cook. You’re on breakfast duty.”
“Fine but you’re cleaning up!” he yelled back from the bedroom.
“Perfect.” He kissed Juniper’s mouth. “Now, I have to go meet Veronica.”
“You don’t have a shirt on.”
“I’m bringing her up to meet you,” Adil commented.
“I just woke up.” She looked down in horror at the pajamas she was still wearing.
“If you change those clothes I will get Phineas to spank your ass.” Adil warned her. “Drink some coffee and I’ll be right back with Veronica and your surprise. I’ll take your surprise home with me if you don’t behave.”
