system. It’s out now and I’m ready to be with you again.”
“Are you fucking kidding me?”
His eyes widened. “Since when do you talk like a trucker?”
“I don’t know. Since I walked in on my fiancé wearing a dog collar and being spanked by his damn legal assistant?”
Harrison’s face turned bright red. “You don’t have to be crude.”
“You cheated on me!” She slammed her coffee cup down in the sink so hard that coffee splattered across her arm and the counter. “Multiple times! You really think I’m just going to forgive and forget that?”
“I cheated because you weren’t willing to give me what I needed in bed,” Harrison said. “I only slept with Crystal because she wasn’t weirded out by – “
“Weirded out? How could I be weirded out by your kinks in bed when I didn’t even know about them?” Addison said.
“I couldn’t tell you about them,” Harrison said. “You’re too strait-laced, and you’re not that adventurous in bed. You know you’re not.”
“If I suck so much in bed, why do you want to get back together with me?”
“I can show you some things,” he said delicately. “I realize now that having you in my life is worth the sex problems. You can speak to a therapist about your intimacy issues and we’ll get through this together, babe.”
“My intimacy issues,” she said.
He sighed. “Babe, stop focusing on the negative, okay? I love you and I want to be with you. I don’t care if you’re not good in bed. Do you understand? Sex isn’t everything and -”
There was a knock on the front door of her apartment before it opened and Grace said, “Addie? You home? Sorry to just show up like this but, for once, both Kira and I have a Saturday off. We’re headed to the farmer’s market and you’re coming with us. No arguments or… oh, hell no.” Grace glared at Harrison. “Why is this asshole here?”
Before Addie could reply, Grace cocked her head. “Why do you have ‘just been fucked’ hair, Addie?”
“This isn’t a good time,” Addison said. “Can I text you later and -”
“Nope.” Gracie glared at Harrison again. “What the hell are you doing here?”
“Addison and I are back together,” Harrison said.
“What?” Kira and Grace shouted in unison.
“You’re back together with Harrison?” Kira said.
“No!” Addison said.
Grace scowled at her. “But you’re sleeping with him? Addie, honey, I don’t know what this mouthbreather said to convince you to sleep with him again, but it’s a mistake. You don’t need him in your life.”
“I’m not sleeping with Harrison,” Addison said.
Grace studied her hair. “Your hair would suggest otherwise.”
“Gracie, I’m not.”
When both Kira and Grace continued to stare at her skeptically, she glared at Harrison. “Harrison, tell them we’re not having sex!”
He grinned at her and leaned against the counter. “Babe, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
“You asshole,” she said. “Tell the truth.”
He grinned again and she wanted to punch him in his smug face. What she’d ever seen him in, she’d never know.
“Babe,” he said placatingly, “you might as well just tell them that we’re – what the hell?”
Harrison stared at Preacher who was standing behind Kira and Grace. “What are you doing here?”
Grace and Kira turned. Addison didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when Preacher grinned cockily at them. “Ladies.”
“Hi, Preacher,” Kira said hesitantly as he slipped past them and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl on the counter. He tossed it into the air and caught it as he stared at Harrison. Harrison took a step back and Preacher grinned at him before turning to Addison.
She made a weird squeaking sound when his arm snaked around her waist and he pulled her into his embrace. His hand cupped her ass and squeezed as he dropped his mouth onto hers. He kissed her deeply, pushing his tongue past her lips to stroke the inside of her mouth. Despite their audience, Addison could barely stop from moaning when she felt his cock harden against her.
He released her and stepped back. He adjusted the obvious bulge in the front of his jeans before winking at her. “Thanks for last night, Sunshine.”
“I… you’re welcome,” she said.
He bit into his apple and chewed noisily before nodding to Grace and Kira. “Bye, ladies.”
“Bye, Preacher,” Kira said as with a final hard look at Harrison, Preacher left the kitchen. The front door shut, and Addison sagged against the counter as Harrison, Grace and Kira stared at her.
Harrison finally broke the silence. “What was Preacher doing here?”
