Free Spin (The Indigo Lounge Series) by Zara Cox

know what? If you hadn’t decided you wanted to explore the joys of anal sex with men , I wouldn’t have met the love of my life, so I guess you served your purpose in my life. And what you see right here, me, being healthy ? It’s me, happy beyond my wildest dreams. This is a possible guess, but what you won’t see if you don’t step away from me right now, is another sunrise.”
    His dark blond eyebrows crease. “What?”
    “My fiancé is insanely possessive and bit of a Neanderthal about who I talk to. You’re not on his approved list, and my minder is right behind you, so I suggest you leave right now, while the leaving is good.”
    His head whips round and he spots Philip. He blanches and takes a few hurried steps sideways.
    When he thinks he’s safely out of Philip’s reach, he looks back at me, his expression a mixture of entreaty and irritation. Whether he tracked me down by design or this was some shitty coincidence, I’ve fucked up his plans to...what? Make me think he’s less of an asshole?
    Every square inch of my heart and soul is filled with Zach. I don’t even want to look for empathy for Chris. I turn my head. Keely’s staring at me with concern.
    “I’m fine.”
    She stares some more. Then nods. “You so fucking are, girlfriend.” She lifts an almost regal hand and a waiter materializes. Ten minutes later, we’re back on the dance floor and it’s almost like the interlude with Chris never happened.
    But those three seconds still haunt me.
    So, when my phone lights up with a text, while I’m on my way out of the bathroom, I jump on it. I lean against the wall and read it.
    Having fun, Peaches?
    Hell, yeah! I’m high on cocktails and hip-hop. You?
    I want to be high on you.
    Very funny. You know what I mean.
    I’m being extremely productive, but my fun only happens when I’m with you.
    Liar. You couldn’t get out the door fast enough when Mason called. You gonna tell me what you two are up to?
    No.
    I sigh and worry my lip with my teeth. In the end, I decide to bite the bullet.
    So...I saw Chris tonight.
    I don’t receive an answer. But my phone rings thirty seconds later.
    “Peaches.” His voice is a deep, sexy rumble, and I want to sigh with pleasure.
    “Hey.”
    “I know.” Of course he knows. I don’t ask how.
    “He’s no longer gay. Apparently.”
    “I know that, too.”
    My breath catches and my mind tumbles over the possibilities. “Zach?”
    “Peaches?” he responds with infinite patience.
    “Did you...?” I sigh and rest my head against the mosaic tiles. “Never mind. I don’t want to know.”
    “Because it’s not important or because you’re too high on cocktails to form proper words?”
    I smile at the wall. “I can form words.”
    “Tell me, then.”
    “I don’t want to know because I ripped the rearview mirror out and threw it away. You are my future. All I see, all I want, is in front of me. You’re it, baby.”
    He remains silent for a charged moment. “Hell, Bethany, if I wasn’t in another state, I’d track you down and fuck the shit out of you!”
    I giggle for one ecstatic moment before his words intrude. “Wait, you’re in another state ?”
    “Fuck, did I just let you trip me up?” he growls.
    “Don’t dodge the question. Where are you?”
    “Mason and I are in Connecticut. We’ll be back in a few hours. I want you naked and in bed when I get there.”
    My pulse goes wild and I grip the phone tighter. “Okay, Zach. Anything else?”
    “I love it when you’re wet for me before I even touch you. But not tonight. I want to work for it,” he continues, his voice thickening with each word. “Will you let me work for it, baby?”
    My eyelids droop and my surroundings recede. Zach is my sole focus. “Y...yes.”
    “Fuck, you’re already getting wet, aren’t you?”
    I force my eyes open and clear my throat. “No. I’m not that easy, Savage.”
    He laughs. “Trust me, sweetheart, I know that. Now tell me what else he
