in the afternoon. “If a famous rock band asked me to go on tour with them and make their graphics, I’d jump on that like white on rice.”
Tanner couldn’t help it. She snorted. “White on rice? I don’t think anyone says that anymore.”
“Sure they do. I just did.” Zoe took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes, and when she dropped her hands Tanner could see how red her eyes were. That was not a hungover look, but one where someone had been crying a lot.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Zoe waved off her question and changed the subject. “God, my head is killing me. I drank too much after I left Beats’ room—” Zoe stopped talking, looked sharply at Tanner, and then put her glasses back on. “Anyway…” She gave this weird laugh. “Where in the hell did you two go off to? I saw you leaving with Jacks and then didn’t see you the rest of the night.”
Of course Tanner didn’t miss the way Zoe diverted the conversation once more, but whatever. If Zoe didn’t want to talk about it right now, fine. “We, uh, we actually just went into the next room and talked.” She cleared her throat, but she felt Zoe staring at her. “What?” Tanner looked over at her friend, saw the look she was giving her, and groaned. Had she planned on hiding the fact that she slept with Jacks from Zoe?
No, not really, but she certainly hadn’t thought she would be telling Zoe this soon. Tanner wanted to try to figure out how to tell her best friend what she had done without actually saying she let Jacks Lorde fuck her.
“Oh. My. God.” Zoe sat up on the couch, tossed her sunglasses onto the coffee table, and instantly groaned and covered her eyes with a hand.
But Tanner felt her eyes widen and slapped a hand over her mouth. “Did I totally just say that out loud?”
Zoe nodded slowly. “Yeah, you totally said you let Jacks fuck you.”
Tanner groaned again.
“You have to tell me all of it, and don’t leave out the raunchy details.”
“All of what?” Tanner sighed again and rested her head on the back of the couch once more.
“All of the nasty, filthy details. I want them all.”
Tanner felt her cheeks heating to a volcanic level as Zoe continued to stare at her, and although her friend looked like she had been run over by a Mac truck she also looked eager as hell to hear whatever Tanner would tell her. “There isn’t anything much to tell. We had sex and fell asleep, and in the morning he talked to me about the tour thing.” She could see from Zoe’s face that her friend wasn’t buying how she was trying to shrug it off.
“You’re a bad liar.” Zoe went back to almost lying on the couch, but she kept her focus on Tanner.
“Yeah, I know. I was never any good at it.” They both smiled at the same time.
“Well, I’ll tell you something that I should probably take to the grave with me.”
This had Tanner shifting so she could face Zoe. The sudden movement had her muscles protesting from being taken up against a wall last night, as well as the soreness between her thighs at having Jacks pounding his dick into her like he couldn’t get enough. Heat filled her face once more, and Zoe shook her head and laughed.
“I don’t think I want to know what you’re thinking.” Zoe closed her eyes and scrubbed a hand over her face. It seemed like her friend took forever to speak again, and Tanner knew that the reason Zoe had been acting strange this morning was why she was being hesitant to say anything now. “I actually made a move on Beats last night.”
Tanner blinked, surprised that Zoe finally acted on her feelings. “You did?” Tanner always found that a bit strange that Zoe would pine after a guy and not even talk to him about it and see if he was interested, but she never pressed her on the matter, and in fact, what room did Tanner have to judge someone else? She had loved Jacks for a long time, too, but up until last night hadn’t actually told him how she felt. “We are one and the same, girlie.”
Zoe reached out and grabbed her hand, and Tanner knew her friend knew exactly what Tanner meant. “Yeah, but where you got an invite to tour with Twisted Feather, I crashed, burned, and waited for
