It’s just money. We can make more. Women like Wren and Christy don’t come along every day.”

“You got that right!”

Trip and Wren went on a date that evening, “to a real steakhouse, for meat from a cow,” as he put it. The door had barely closed behind them when Christy bounced and grinned at me.

“I have a surprise for you,” she said, “an early Christmas present.”

“Oh? Something you bought today?”

“Sort of, but not really.”

“You have to promise to wait here, though. You’ll spoil it if you come upstairs.”

I arched an eyebrow, but she didn’t give in.

“Don’t laugh,” she said nervously.

“D’you hear that?” I said to my jeans-covered penis.

be in solitary confinement. Got it?” I nodded and imagined his reply. “He says ‘got it.’”

Christy rolled her eyes.

“He also says he likes your outfit.”

“This was so much sexier in my head,” she said.

“Sorry,” I said quickly. I sat on the bed and rested my hand on her thigh.

“You look amazing! Very sexy. I was speechless. Then I realized you were nervous, so I thought I’d make you laugh. I probably should’ve—”

“You’re doing fine.
