realize you were this rich.”
“Does that make me more likable?”
“No. A little more tolerable.”
“There’s no reason we couldn’t have gone to your place,” I said. “Even if your roommate was there… she could have joined us.”
“Of course,” Lita said. “I was waiting for that. What is it with guys and that? You all watch too much porn. Do you really think it’s that easy? That you’re going to get two women to just go down on each other? Would you suck off Nash?”
“What?” I yelled.
“Exactly. So why would I want another women’s… you know… in my mouth…”
“Don’t ruin the fantasy,” I said.
“Yeah, right. Fantasy. That’s all it is for you.”
“You’re one to talk, Lita.”
“About?”
“Fantasies.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Come on, beauty,” I said with a laugh. “What the hell are you really doing here with me?”
“I was horny,” she said. “I know you are all the time. Win-win.”
I shook my head. “You were going to get up on that stage and sing. Then you saw Blaze and-”
“You saw Blaze first,” she said.
“Right. This is my fault.”
“Exactly.” She sipped her whiskey again. “What does it matter to you? Last time I checked, you got your dick sucked, got to go down on me, and came.”
“Oh, I’m not complaining at all,” I said. “I’m just laughing at the notion of a fantasy. You think I’m wrong for wanting to fuck you and your roommate at the same time. But yet you have this fantasy that you’re going to make Blaze jealous and want you back.”
“What did you just say?” Lita asked.
“You heard me,” I said.
Lita downed the rest of her whiskey and put the glass on a table.
“I’m going to get changed and leave,” she said.
“Sure thing,” I said. “Thanks for the fuck.”
Lita walked away with purpose.
I liked the way the back of her legs looked.
When she was out of sight, I thought about something.
If she was going to get changed, that meant she was going to be naked again.
How in the hell could I pass up seeing her naked again?
I opened the bedroom door and Lita wasn’t naked.
At all.
Far from it.
She was still in the same black t-shirt.
And her cheeks were bright red.
Her hands were balled up tight and together.
“What are you doing?” she snapped at me.
“It’s my bedroom,” I said. “And I was hoping to see you naked. You may not like me for it, but I like your body, Lita.”
“You don’t need to keep saying that.”
“I know. But I’m going to.”
“You just want to get laid again.”
“Correct.”
“I’m leaving.”
“Not until you show me what’s in your hand.”
Lita shook her head.
I nodded.
“Shane…”
“My room, my house, my rules.”
“Please, don’t do this.”
“What? What’s so bad about what’s in your hand? Did you secretly record us fucking? Are you going to sell it to someone? No need to hide it. Record and sell all you want, Lita. I have nothing to hide.”
“I would never do that, Shane.”
“So then, what’s the problem?”
“Nothing. Just give me a minute alone.”
“No.”
“Excuse me?”
“My tongue was dancing on your clit not too long ago. My mouth sucked on your nipples until they were swollen and puffy. I fucked you until you couldn’t speak. Remember?”
“And that doesn’t mean you get a free show whenever you want,” Lita said. “Go fuck yourself, Shane.”
“Open your hand, Lita.”
“No,” she said.
I paused for a second and sighed.
Then I jumped at her.
She let out a scream.
My hands touched her sides and I tickled her.
The scream turned into laughter and she looked surprised that I was tickling her.
I mean, who in the world gets to say they were tickled by a rock star?
“Open your hand,” I said.
“Fuck off!” Lita managed to yell as she laughed.
She wiggled away and I lunged at her again.
I moved my hands to her hips and when I pressed my thumb near the top of her thigh, she jumped and screamed and threw her hands at me.
She fell back, hit the wall and kicked at me.
She kept laughing even after I stopped tickling her.
My eyes scanned the floor and I saw what she had been hiding from me.
“Shane… I’m sorry…”
I crouched down and picked the diamond ring up off the floor.
I looked at Lita, then at the ring.
It was the engagement ring I had planned on giving Stacy.
“Shane…”
I stood up, holding the ring in my hand.
I took a deep breath.
“Okay, you have to say something,” Lita said.
I looked at her.
Slowly, I reached for her left hand and pulled her toward me.
I lifted the engagement ring and slid it down her ring finger.
“There,” I said.
