blasted me in the face mocked me. All my girls were getting their own boxes heated, and here I was, stuck pulling cupcakes from the mechanical box. It reminded me of the last eighteen months.

Except this time I wanted to be turned on.

My phone buzzed. I was tempted to ignore it. But I certainly wasn’t going to get turned on baking by myself. That calmed my urges; it didn’t rev them up.

I grabbed my phone. Flicked to the messages. I felt the breath back up in my lungs as my eyes widened. Without thinking, I set my hand against the freshly pulled cookie sheet. “Shit!” I waved my burnt hand in the air, unwilling to drop my phone. Talk about playing dirty. Ryker’s pants were unzipped. His hard cock was pressed up against his belly. His boxer briefs strained against the length.

This is what you do to me –Ryker

Someone led me over to the sink, pushed my hand under the cool running water. “What the hell, babe?” Jessa asked.

I shoved the phone into my chest. “He just sent me a dick pic,” I whispered.

Jessa hooted like an owl on crack. “Finally the man shows some damn promise. I swear, I had no idea he sucked so bad at teasing. From all the snatch that man caught, he’d think his mouth was full of gold.”

I glared at her.

She winced. “Sorry.” She inspected my hand. “Was the dick pic a good one, at least?”

I nodded. “Very.” I could feel the flush climbing up my cheeks. “I always thought dick pics were gross. Very low brow.” I giggled. “That man can send me dick pics all damn day. I want to lick it. And suck it. And kiss it. And wiggle it.”

“Wiggle it?” Jessa asked with a laugh.

I shrugged. “I’m not good at sex yet, I’m trying new things.”

Jessa snorted. “I think Ryker thinks you’re good enough at sex. You’ve got him on the ropes and about to tap out.”

I smiled. “What did Nico say to you?”

Her cheeks flared with pink. “The things he wants to do to me.”

“Without using any terms directly related to sex?” I asked.

She nodded. “Anyone reading it would assume it was some kind of workout routine.”

I sighed, jealousy in my heart. “Damn.”

She sighed too. “I’m glad you picked Ryker. I’m not sharing Nico, that’s for damn sure.” She pulled my hand from the running water again. “You’re going to need some ointment to keep the skin moist for a while.”

I nodded. I was accustomed to treating burns. “I’ve got some…somewhere.”

She nodded. She dabbed the excess water from my skin. “I’ve got some in my purse. Hang on.” She walked off. She looked a little funny.

I tilted my head. Nope, she was definitely the one leaning to the side. I snorted. We were all variously saturated with alcohol.

I stopped on my way back out to the living area. I shut off the oven, kept the door open to let it vent faster. I didn’t need to possibly burn down the entire building because I was too tipsy to shut off the oven. We’d finished our cookies and cupcakes. The last one was just for us. I wasn’t too sure the soldiers would enjoy a giant penis shaped cake.

Tali and Nik were curled up on the couch. Tali ran her fingers through Nik’s hair. They both looked so peaceful and happy.

I plopped down in the armchair. “So, what did Turo and Foster say?”

Nik snorted. “Nothing worth sharing, that’s for damn sure.”

“Liar, I saw the look on your face before you turned away,” I teased her.

She looked me right in the eye. “Nothing worth sharing.”

Oh, damn. Whatever the oldest Amatucci had sent had not set well with our favorite computer nerd.

I looked at Tali. “Foster up to par?”

She smiled. “He’s got game. Ryker still striking out?”

I shook my head. “He finally stepped up to the plate.”

Jessa snorted as she swayed back into the living area. “Yeah, with his wang.” She got down on her knees as she held the little tube of ointment up. “See? Always prepared.”

“Such a fucking boy scout,” Nik said with a smile.

Jessa laughed. “Pretty much.” She smeared some on my hand. Once she was done, she sat back, looked at my palm. “That looks kinda like jizz,” she snickered.

Nik and Tali leaned over immediately.

“I need a picture like that,” Nik said. She whipped her phone out. “Jessa, smear some on my fingers.”

“Mine too,” Tali said, putting her hand out.

I laughed. “Yes, girls. Own those boys.” I couldn’t
