out for Avery, who followed.
    “As long as you understand that lick thing was only for show,” Avery explained to her. “I’m only into guys and have no intentions of ever going down under, if you know what I mean.”
    Callie laughed and I too could no longer hide my smile. They were playing me, trying to get a reaction.
    “No worries, A, I like dick too. You’re safe with me,” Callie assured her. The funniest part was the relieved expression on Avery’s face as they walked away.
    “Most guys would have gone for that. Three girls in bikinis offering a night of fun without expectations,” Harper said, her voice slightly slurred.
    I looked back at her. “Yeah, I’m sure most guys would have taken the bait. Three beautiful women, a hot tub, no witnesses.”
    I slid off my seat and took the one next to her. Once I was closer, I could see her bloodshot eyes. She was extremely buzzed. He guard was down, that cocky attitude gone.
    “I have other interests, though,” I stated, resting my head back against the headrest.
    “Oh yeah, the blonde.” Her eyes drooped slightly.
    “Yeah, she’s gorgeous.” I lifted my hand to tuck a lock of hair behind her ear, and her eyes closed. “She’s strong and bold, but under all that, she’s even more amazing.”
    Harper forced her eyes open, and her lips curved into a smile. “She’s a lucky girl,” she whispered.
    “Why is that?” I asked.
    “Because she’s captured the attention of a man like you. You’re pretty gorgeous yourself, Easton Black. Any girl would be lucky to have a guy like you, to kiss, to hold…”
    I leaned in closer and skimmed my lips over hers. Pulling back, I watched her eyes flutter open, locking on mine. “Do you want to kiss me, Harper?”
    “Yes,” she breathed.
    I pressed my lips to hers, and she wrapped her arms around my neck. Her tongue traced my lips, and I sucked on the tip. Her sexy, soft moan made me want more.
    Our gentle kiss quickly became hungry, and she moved faster than a girl who had consumed a large amount of alcohol should have been able to. She placed her hands on my shoulders and straddled my lap.
    The moment she started grinding against me, I gripped her hips, stopping her. “No, not here, not tonight.” She pulled back and looked at me, confusion evident on her face. “Not like this, baby.”
    She looked startled as she slid from my lap, stumbled back in the water, and braced herself on the side of the hot tub, looking as if I’d slapped her.
    “You’ve been drinking, Harp. I just don’t want—”
    “Don’t,” she said, holding her hand up. “No need to explain. This shouldn’t have happened. None of it. I’m drunk and this was a mistake.”
    I sat in the darkness and watched her climb out of the tub and grab a towel from the lounge chair as she passed it. Arguing with a sober Harper was a losing battle, but a drunk Harper? Hell, it would have been like beating your damn head against the wall.
    When I heard the back door open and shut again, I groaned in frustration. Well, that was a disaster.

    “Wake up, sunshine.” Callie was too chipper and annoying for my liking. “Wakey-wakey. The sun’s out, coffee is brewing, and we want details.”
    “What are you talking about, freak?” I groaned and pulled on the pillow, trying to cover my head back up.
    “Easton and the hot tub. We want to know what happened after we left you in his very capable hands last night.” Avery was just as annoying as Callie.
    “I hate to disappoint you, ladies, but nothing happened. I came inside to go to bed, and I’m assuming he went home. Unless he’s still waiting in the hot tub outside.” Silence filled the room, and I waited for one of them to speak.
    When there was still no sound after a few minutes, I peeked around the edge of the pillow. They were both watching me with confusion.
    “Why are you two staring at me?” I asked.
    “Easton is a very
