“Yes, but I didn’t want to let on because you were so intent on using the Circle as a way to prove your independence. I didn’t want you to feel less independent knowing that I serve on their advisory council. In fact, the Circle is why I moved to Millbrook,” he says casually. “They needed a couple more guys in leadership roles, and thought I’d be a good fit.”
I stare at him, flabbergasted.
“This whole thing just blows me away. I mean, the Millbrook FD is the Circle? It’s a bunch of filthy firefighters holding sex parties?”
Mark growled, his blue eyes glittering.
“I guess that’s one way to put it. But yeah, we’re basically guys who like to have a good time, and what better way to indulge?”
I flushed.
“It’s just so dirty,” was my whisper.
My man winked.
“Yes, but that’s what you like, Freya,” he whispered back. “It’s what turns you on.”
My boyfriend was right because although we haven’t been back to a Circle event yet, we will. My man’s been working for the organization behind the scenes while I recover from labor and delivery, but soon, we’ll return in full glory to these wonderful parties, and I can’t wait. Meanwhile, Mark and James chat about old times.
“So, did you ever see that girl again?” my boyfriend asks his friend. “The one from the party in Sansome.”
James thinks for a moment, his handsome brow crinkling.
“Which one?”
Mark chuckles.
“I think you know which one. The one wearing the bunny suit with the ears? Who screams really loud?”
James gets an evil look.
“Oh you mean the one who was gripping her ankles while I took her from the back. Yeah, that’s Rocky. I see her around every now and then.”
Mark’s eyebrows practically fly off his forehead.
“Well, everyone’s been talking about it for a year now because she was screaming so loud that we thought you didn’t use lube. Did you?”
James shrugs.
“I honestly can’t remember because it was so long ago. But if I recall, Rocky’s one of the ones who enjoys backdoor love without lube. She likes it raw like that, although of course, I stretched her out first using other ways.”
My man just shakes his head.
“No lube? Holy shit.”
But James just smirks.
“Rocky’s fine, don’t worry. Even crazier, she just won the Miss Millbrook pageant, did you hear? I hear she’s got a crown and scepter and everything.”
My man stares.
“Yeah, but do the pageant organizers know she attends Circle events? I mean, shit like being featured in Playboy gets them banned from competitions.”
James shrugs airily.
“Who knows? I only banged Rocky once, and I haven’t kept in touch. But yeah, she was a wildcat. Anal without lube. Hell, I should look her up again, especially because she’s Miss Millbrook now.”
At that, I intervene.
“Well, if she has experience with the Circle, then she’s definitely a girl who knows how to use a scepter,” I say in a saucy voice. “Especially if she’s a no-lube type of person.”
James starts before cracking up with laughter.
“Hell, you’ve got a live one here, Mark,” he jokes. “Holy shit. I didn’t know moms could be so dirty.”
I merely giggle at the compliment.
“Women don’t lose our libidos just because we’re pregnant. If anything I want it even more now.”
But then Mark stops us by holding up a hand.
“Okay, no more of this flirtatious banter between you guys, otherwise I’m going to have to deck you,” he growls at James. “In fact, I think it’s better if you leave now.”
The handsome firefighter merely grins and stands up before glancing at his watch.
“Yeah, I think it’s time to go because actually, I need to get ready for a ‘date’ I have tonight,” he says while making air quotes with his fingers.
I giggle.
“It’s totally a hook-up, isn’t it?”
He nods, still grinning like a maniac.
“It is, and if you saw this MILF’s body, you’d see why I have to prepare.” With that, he strides out our backyard gate with one last wave. “See ya!” Then, the door slams behind him as my boyfriend and I look at each other.
“What a joker,” Mark growls, rolling his eyes.
“Not really,” I say with an impish smile. “James is dirty, but no dirtier than you or me.”
It’s true because our sex life has only amped up ever since I gave birth. For some reason, I need it more than ever now, and am constantly on my boyfriend to drive it home, deep and dirty.
But instead of picking up on my non-verbal cues, instead Mark gets a serious look on his handsome face, and reaches across our chairs to seize my hand.
“You know I love you, don’t you, Freya?”
I smile prettily.
“Of course. And you know I love you too.”
He nods, thoughtfully.
“Then at the risk of jumping the gun, because I know you’re gun-shy sweetheart, I was wondering if you’d think about marrying me? It doesn’t have to be today, tomorrow, or even next year. But I thought it might be nice to inject some permanence into our relationship. What do you think? Or is that too much?”
