Caroline’s POV
Social Club’s brunch room buzzed with laughter and chatter, our favorite spot for girl time. Security guards positioned strategically around the venue kept watchful eyes on us without crowding our space. Despite the threat hanging over us, I was determined to enjoy this night with my friends.
"So tell us everything about being a Luna," Ruby demanded, leaning forward with gleaming eyes. "Is Alpha Draven as dominating in bed as he is in the boardroom?"
I felt my cheeks flush. "A lady never kisses and tells."
"Bullshit!" Eleanor laughed, clinking her champagne glass against mine. "You’re among sisters here. Spill it!"
"Fine," I relented, lowering my voice. "It was perfect. Draven was incredibly attentive and romantic. The way he touched me..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
The girls squealed in delight as I shared carefully edited highlights of my passionate nights with Draven.
"God, I wish Ryan would take notes," Ruby sighed. "He’s attentive but sometimes I wonder if I need to draw him a map."
"And you, Elle? How’s living with Nate?" I asked, grateful to shift attention away from myself.
Eleanor’s face lit up. "Honestly? It’s perfect. He brings me coffee in bed every morning, plans surprise dates, and treats me like I’m the most precious woman in the world."
"What about you, Ava?" Ruby asked. "Things didn’t work out with Theo, right?"
Ava grimaced. "We went out twice, but there was zero chemistry. Then he got all pissy when I wouldn’t sleep with him and said he ’wasn’t in the mood to wait for me to make up my mind.’"
"What an asshole," Ruby growled.
"It’s fine," Ava waved dismissively. "Honestly, I can’t stop thinking about Joseph. We had lunch today, and he seemed genuinely sorry about everything. He suggested we try being friends."
"Friends?" Eleanor snorted. "Is that why he insisted you stay at his place during this security crisis?"
"That’s just him being protective," Ava protested weakly.
"Sure it is," Eleanor smirked. "You should definitely go to his place, though. Perfect chance to see if he’s genuinely changed."
"Since when are you so supportive, Elle?" Kyle raised an eyebrow.
Eleanor’s grin turned mischievous. "Who said I’m being nice? I just think she should test his resolve. Tease him mercilessly, drive him wild, have him eating from her palm."
"I like where this is going," Ava’s eyes lit up.
"Did you pack overnight things?" Eleanor asked.
"Already in my car," Ava admitted with a slight blush.
"Take a page from Ruby’s playbook," Eleanor advised. "Remember how she tortured Ryan for months? Wear something skimpy to bed, claim insomnia, ask him to keep you company watching movies, and when he’s thoroughly aroused... say goodnight and walk away."
"You’re evil," I laughed. "But effective."
"Now for the main event," Eleanor turned to Nina. "You called this emergency meeting. What did Investigator Hottie do?"
Nina pulled her collar aside, revealing a massive purple mark on her neck. "He did this, for starters."
"Holy shit!" Kyle gasped. "That man is going to break you in half! Too much testosterone in one package!"
"Seriously," Ruby fanned herself. "Those arms should be illegal. I got wet just watching him scan the room earlier."
"He’s actually very gentle," Nina defended, turning crimson. "But there’s something I need advice about..."
"What happened?" I prompted.
"He drove me home after the wedding and kissed me," Nina explained, staring at the table. "It’s just... I... um..."
"Wait a second." Kyle’s eyes widened. "Was that your first kiss? Ever?"
When Nina nodded shyly, the table fell into stunned silence.
"Are you telling us you’re a virgin?" Ruby blurted out.
"Obviously!" Nina shot back. "If I’ve never been kissed before, what do you think about the rest?"
"You’ve never even masturbated?" Eleanor asked bluntly.
Nina shook her head.
