husband.”
    “Careful, Lacey. That didn’t end so great.”
    Lacey shrugged. “No, last night was sooo much better. This time I wasn’t a young newlywed dreaming of living here happily ever after, raising children and being a contributing member of the elite Temptation Garden Club.” That dream had only lasted for about a year, and for the two years following, she’d lived in misery, wondering what she’d done wrong to make Randy lose interest in her. It took gossiping, so-called friends of the Temptation Garden Club to set her straight and show her that it wasn’t her at all, but that beyotch, Desiree Donnelly, who’d siphoned off all of Randy’s sexual desire. “No, this was uncommitted, purely carnal, no-holds-barred sex with a little BDSM thrown in for good measure.” She closed her eyes, recalling how good it had felt to have two men making her so hot she could have exploded like fireworks on the Fourth of July. “And I’ll bet you dollars to donuts, Old Lady Biedel got an ear and eye full of it all.”
    Kendall snorted. “Her and that snooty bunch of garden witches were never anything to write home about. I can’t believe they stuck up for your ex when he was the one cheating on you . And they had the gall to blame you for your husband’s infidelity.”
    “Yeah.” Lacey smiled dreamily. “It won’t be long before that old witch flaps her gums about how Cory and Nick fucked my brains out. Maybe she’ll get a hint of what she’s missing and wish she was me for once.”
    Just when she’d needed the support of friends, Lacey had learned the hard way that the ladies of the garden club were only fair-weather friends. As soon as divorce was mentioned, they blamed Lacey for her husband’s infidelity and shunned her. Abandoned and heartbroken, Lacey lost the battle in divorce court—thanks to a corrupt judge and a crappy attorney—and found herself out of her home, out of money and friendless.
    Until Audrey Anderson, the owner of the Ugly Stick Saloon, took her under her wing and gave her hope for her future and a reason to keep going when she had nothing and no one.
    “Yeah, I feel better than I’ve felt since I arrived in Temptation, and it all has to do with Nick…and Cory.” Nick in particular, but Lacey wasn’t willing to say that out loud. Somehow that made it too personal and she’d sworn off getting too personal.
    Kendall sat across from her, her gaze drifting to where Lacey was rubbing her clit. She squirmed in her chair and her tongue snaked out across her bottom lip. “It’s like I said, you needed a man of your own— Holy hell, Lacey, will you stop already? You’re making me horny just watching.”
    Lacey winked. “Wanna play around a little for old time’s sake?”
    Kendall shook her head, her gaze still glued to Lacey’s hand covering her clit. “No, Ed and I are perfectly happy.”
    “Invite him over. Surely he can afford to take a lunch break to please his woman.” Lacey closed her eyes, sucking in a sharp breath. Already her pussy ached. “Oh, yeah. Call him. I could stand to live a little vicariously now.”
    “Damn it, Lacey, you’re making me hot just looking at you.” 
    The sounds of keys jingling and articles shifting made Lacey open her eyes.
    Kendall rifled through her purse and jerked out her cell phone, punching at the speed-dial button. “Ed?”
    Lacey grinned. She’d helped the pair explore each other’s bodies and break the best-friend barrier to enjoy hot, raw sex. “Tell him his services are needed,” she urged.
    “Wanna have sex?” Kendall purred into the phone. She paused. “Now, for heaven’s sake!” Her free hand slipped inside the waistband of her jeans. “What’s wrong with your truck? I see. You don’t mind if Lacey and I start without you? That’s what I thought. God, I love you. I’ll be hot and ready when you get here. Where? Oh, I’m at Lacey’s. Okay. Smooches.” She kissed the phone and hit the off button. “He’s
