“What’s he going to do? Spank me? As if,” I frowned before sliding another cake pop between my lips and moaning. “These are superb. Maybe these can replace sex. You think we can order the staff to make them by the platter?” I turned, smiling around a mouthful as the cook shook his head.
“Blane didn’t look away from me the entire time,” Ciara admitted, a saucy smile playing on her full lips. “I felt powerful for the first time since he knocked me up with Fury. I was sexy tonight.”
“I felt like a sexy house,” Olivia said, causing everyone to laugh even more. “Ristan, though, he wanted me. The heat in that demon’s stare was hot. I miss that look like I’m a sex goddess he can’t stop staring at.”
“Sinjinn, too, like he realized that I was a woman again. Not just a mother, or his wife, but that I was a woman. It was freeing, so thank you for that, Synthia.”
“Zahruk didn’t even acknowledge that I existed,” Darynda frowned, and then looked horrified when everyone began to hug her. “It’s for the best. I felt like I did when I first came here. I felt like heads turned and saw me, not as a source of food either. It was like they finally realized I’m a woman and not simply a nursemaid, but that I am from a good family.”
“And what the hell was up with the couples’ sessions? My dick can’t hit her sweet spot. It must be her fault because it certainly isn’t mine,” Ciara groaned. “Like seriously, how many men are actually that dumb?”
“And why would any women marry those men?” I frowned, popping another piece of cake into my mouth. “It makes little sense to wed someone who gives you no pleasure. I mean, I can understand the miscommunication, but why would they want to stay in that situation?”
“You took their dicks,” Olivia laughed and snorted, shaking her head as she held her belly.
“Oh, my goddess, you totally took their dicks away! Do you have any idea how hard it was not to laugh?” Lilith announced, and the room burst into peals of uncontrollable laughter.
“Those men deserved their punishment,” I snorted, picking up a handful of flour and sending it soaring through the air, gasping as it landed on all the women. “Oh, oops,” I winced.
Ciara picked up a cake pop and sent it flying at my head, and the room silenced, waiting for me to explode at what she’d done. I gazed at everyone, and Ciara gasped, covering her mouth with her hand, staring wide-eyed in horror as an evil smile curved my lips. I grabbed a bottle of honey and pointed it at her.
“You wouldn’t, Synthia,” she hissed and then squealed when I squeezed the plastic bottle, shooting honey all over her dress. “Oh!”
Darynda surveyed everyone in shock as food began soaring through the air, hitting each of us. “Synthia!” I turned, staring at Darynda as a cake pop hit the side of my face. I squirted honey on her too, and grinned, watching her emerald eyes as they grew large and round. She picked up a cake pop and held it, looking at me. I smiled, and then laughed as she half-heartedly threw it at me, hitting me in the shoulder.
“You can do better than that,” I teased, picking up a bottle of sparkling cider before shaking it up and turning, intending to send it shooting into the air behind me. The cap popped and shot fizz into the air, right into Ryder’s face.
The room hushed, and we paused, covered from head to toe in food and drink. He stared at me while I reached behind me, sensing the men sifting into the room, hesitating as they took in the mess. My fingers lifted, wiping honey over his face before he caught my hand, staring at me in disbelief.
“What the hell are you doing, woman?” he demanded, and right then, Ciara bent over and groaned loudly. Our heads turned toward her, watching as her water broke.
