Oh, right. Shit. Avery was a chef⊠who theyâd invited over for pizza. In their heads, it had seemed like a good idea to invite her over to a good old-fashioned girlsâ night/date planning dinner, but was DiGiorno going to be good enough for her?
âUh, right.â Rae glanced nervously at Domi, looking as though she was having similar thoughts. At least they were all dressed the same. Rae had on a pair of leggings and an oversized shirt, while Domi and Avery were both in yoga pants and t-shirts. Averyâs had the Marquis restaurant logo on it, and her hair was up in its usual ponytail. Seeing their expressions, Avery looked uncertain.
âItâs a good wine,â she said as if she was trying to reassure them.
âIâm sure it is, I just⊠I just realized weâre serving a chef frozen pizza.â Domi gave her a lopsided grin, hoping she took it in good fun. Thankfully, Avery laughed, leaning her hip against the counter, and some of the tension leaked away from the room.
âTrust me, Iâm no food snob,â Avery said, grinning. âHalf the stuff I make for myself at home is microwavable. Cooking for other people all the time doesnât really leave me in the mood to cook for myself.â
âWell, next time you come over, weâll cook a real dinner for you,â Rae said, pulling the wine key out of their junk draw with a flourish. She cut the foil and peeled it off with practiced movements before starting to screw the opener into the cork. It had been a while since theyâd had wine that didnât come with a screw cap, but some skills were never forgotten.
Averyâs expression brightened at the idea. âThat would be wonderful.â
That seemed to break the ice, and by the time they sat down to the pizza and wine, it almost felt as though Avery had always been part of their little group. She clicked with them in a way neither Morgan nor Samantha had.
âSo, did you ever talk to Olivia about becoming a member of Stronghold?â Domi asked. Olivia was the manager of Marquisâthe upstairs kinky partâand also the instructor for the new submissives class. A badass both on the streets and in the sheets, she was the kind of Domme nobody wanted to tick off. She was also incredibly protective of âherâ subs, which included almost every submissive to walk through a Stronghold or Marquisâ door, and not just her actual submissive and boyfriend, Luke.
Avery made a face, looking down at her pizza.
âNo,â she sighed, taking a big bite of pizza and chewing as though it was comforting. Heck, it might be. Pizza was one of Domiâs comfort foods. She wasnât sure why not talking to Olivia would get this kind of reaction. âI uh⊠well, Nick and I have been flirting a lot more, then this weekend⊠he kissed me, andâŠâ She was turning beet red as she spoke, but she didnât look entirely happy about the situation. âIt was hot, and heâs very take-charge, but⊠I donât think heâs kinky.â
âIs kinky a requirement?â Rae asked, glancing at Domi. Rae hadnât completely sworn off the idea of a vanilla guy, though sheâd prefer to find a kinky one, especially once sheâd figured out where to look. Which was how theyâd ended up at Stronghold in the first place. Domi hadnât wanted a guyâat allâbut now she couldnât imagine herself with someone who wasnât at least a little into the same things.
She didnât need wild, kinky sex every time, but she couldnât imagine giving it up entirely now.
âMaybe?â Avery shrugged. âItâs been so long since Iâve even had sex, I donât know if I care.â
Ouch. Domi knew how that felt.
âSo, your dry spell may be affecting your judgment,â she teased. âMaybe you should come to Stronghold with us and get laid before making a decision.â
âI donât know when Iâd have the time,â Avery said ruefully. âMarquis has only been open a few months, and Iâm needed Wednesday through Sunday. Even though I can get the occasional Sunday night off, Friday or Saturday would be impossible, and by the time the restaurant closes, itâs way too late for me to go out.â
âWhat if you asked for the time off, super far in advance?â Rae asked. âMaybe on a Thursday night or something. And we could go to Marquis instead of Stronghold and watch a show. That way, you wonât have to travel, and it might give you a better idea about whether you want to hold out for someone kinky.â
Hope lit Averyâs eyes, but she still looked conflicted.
âIâm kinda smelly at the end of a shiftâŠâ
âWe wonât care,â Domi reassured her. âWe can just spritz you with body spray or something.â
They all laughed.
âOkay,â Avery said happily. âIâll see if I can get a night off sometime soon. It might not be for a few weeks.â
âNo problem. Weâll make it work. The reservations usually fill up several weeks in advance, anyway.â Rae grinned at her, then changed her focus to Domi, as they were all finishing up their dinners. âSo⊠Domi. Where are you and Mitch going on Tuesday? Has he said?â
âNo.â Domi glanced down at her phone. âI texted him to ask. He said itâs a surprise, but to dress casually and so I can move.â
Rae and Avery blinked, nonplussed. Clearly, they had as little clue as Domi did what Mitch might be thinking.
âCasual and so you can move? What does that mean?â Avery asked. Since she only knew what Domi and Rae had told her about Mitch, she had the least to go on.
âKnowing Mitch, itâll be something memorable.â Rae picked up her glass of wine, which was only half-finished, and got to her feet. Domi and Avery followed suit.
Trying on clothes right after eating pizza might not be the best idea⊠but hey, he was the one who told her casual. Domi was going to take him at his word.
âRock
