I stared at both of them, processed their-yes, soap opera-stories. “My mother sold me out to an oil and gas company for campaign financing. “I have my half-sister, Beth, who I grew up with, but she’s a drug addict and not…reliable.” “My parents died in a car accident,” Kady told me. The looks on both their faces wasn’t pity, not understanding, but perhaps sympathy. “Foster care made me want to be self-sufficient, to never rely on anyone else again,” I admitted. I’d been on my own for my entire life and I’d known I was the only one who could make it happen. I was more career-minded, but that was because I’d been driven my whole to get out of the system, to make something of myself. It was every woman’s choice to decide what she wanted to do with her life. “I want a family, to stay at home and deal with the insanity of a brood of kids.” She might have just had a quickie down the hall with one of her men, but she definitely still had some innocence about her.
“I probably got pregnant my first time,” Penny admitted, looking anywhere but at either of us. “As you can guess, it took me all of two seconds to get knocked up.” I went off the pill because I wanted-want-a baby,” Kady said, her hand going to her belly once again. “I’m not pregnant,” I blurted, then laughed at myself, shook my head. “She’s only allowed one cup now, too, and she’d kill me if I drank any of it. “I can’t take hers.” She cocked her head toward Kady. “He knows better than to stay around.” She reached for my mug, took it from my hands and had a sip. He winked at her, then left the room as fast as he’d entered. “You did this to me,” she fake grumbled, tilting her head to the side. “Don’t let Jamison or Boone hear you say they’re hotties,” Penny reminded, then grabbed a mug from the cabinet and went to pour coffee from the carafe.īoone swooped in, grabbed the mug from her as he kissed the side of her neck. “And you’ve got three hotties panting after you.” “You wouldn’t think I was a virgin a month ago.”
“Yes, it’s such a hardship to have a quickie with that man.” Penny looked to me, her cheeks pink, although I wasn’t sure if it was from Kady’s teasing or her quickie. “Like last month when you had the group dinner and he carried you off.” “What Boone wants, Boone gets,” Kady replied in a sing-song voice.
