sure.â
He just laughed, knowing full well that when the time came Iâd be as keen as he was. We drove in silence for a while before he spoke again.
âSo, whatâs with your friends, then?â
âHow dâyou mean?â
âThe ones you were with in the cab. Said I could grope her tits, she did. I heard. Do you think sheâd be up for it?â
I just laughed, hearing the eager lust in his voice.
âCome on, Lucy, Iâm serious.â
âIâll bet you are, you dirty bastard!â
âLook whoâs talking!â
âWhat are you after, Niall?â I asked.
âWhat am I after? You have to ask? Iâm after the two of you in bed. Three of you, maybe. There was your other mate there too, wasnât there? Bobbie. Three girls in my bed, now that would be something!â
âWhat makes you think Iâd be up for that, Niall Flynn?â
âWouldnât you? Youâre a dirty bitch, Lucy Doyle. I thought youâd be up for anything.â
I hit him, but only playfully. We reached Gogartyâs,the front a blaze of green lighting, with the doors thrown open to the warm night air and music blasting out. Inevitably we couldnât park anywhere near it, and ended up well down a side street before weâd found a space. As he parked I was thinking of what heâd said, how it would be to share him, as Bobbie and I had shared Frazer. It turned me on, but it just couldnât be done. Heâd be sure to tell somebody, and once a rumour like that got going, my name would be all round town as a Grade A whore.
Ryan would find out first, probably, and he could be pretty protective. Siobhan was sure to, and so Mary, and so my Mum, and then thereâd be hell to pay. As we started back towards Gogartyâs I was hoping heâd drop the subject. Not Niall Flynn.
âSo, with the girls, then. Fix a date with the one with the big tits first, why not, and . . .â
âIt wonât wash, Niall.â
âWhyâs that? Donât tell me youâve gone jealous on me?â
âIâm not jealous, Niall. I wonât do it because youâd be bragging.â
âI would not!â
âSure, I believe you.â
âAh, come on with you, how can you say a thing like that? Did I ever tell when you wanted to know the feel of a manâs cock in your gob, and to know how itâs done, did I now?â
âWell, no, but . . .â
âBut nothing! Now come on, say youâll fix a date. We can meet at least.â
âNo!â
âCome on, or do I have to make you?â
âLike how?â
âLike I make you ring them.â
âAnd how do you propose to make me ring them, Niall Flynn?â
âPerhaps by showing your bare arse to the street if you donât.â
I stuck out my tongue, turned round, stuck my bum out and flipped up my dress, showing just about everything, as all I had on was a black thong. It made his eyes pop, and I was laughing as I danced away from his clutching fingers. So was he.
âYour sisterâs right, youâre a slut and more, Lucy Doyle. Now get out that phone.â
âMake me.â
âI will. Iâm thinking, perhaps youâll not be so cheeky in the club with no knickers under that pretty dress?â
âYou think so, do you?â
âI do. Now out with the phone.â
âIn your dreams, Niall Flynn.â
âCome on with you, Lucy, or Iâll have those knickers here and now.â
âYou havenât the guts!â
âOh, havenât I just?â
âNo, you havenât. Youâre nothing but a great gobshite, Niall Flynn, all mouth and no action.â
âAm I, by Jesus!â
He dashed forward. I screamed and ran, tripped over my heels and had to clutch onto a lamppost to stop myself landing smack on the pavement. The next instant his hands were on me, my dress had been yanked high and he was
