“Yeah, of course it was awful. Randall and I, we were both … you know, virgins. He’d not been with anyone else, neither had I. We didn’t have a clue what we were doing, and funnily enough, I do believe that’s how little David was conceived, that first night.”
“So it sucks?”
“Not now,” Bethany said. “The first time did as we were young and fumbling around, not knowing what to do, but then Randall read books, and he learned, and we explored each other. When we don’t have kids banging at our door, we completely enjoy it, as you can tell. We have four kids.”
“All it took was practice?”
“Yes, and it helped that I love Randall. Don’t get me wrong, I know there are a lot of guys and girls out there that don’t need to have that, but it helped us.” Bethany smiled at her and walked over, putting her hands on her shoulders. “Does this have anything to do with a certain guy called Ward, who has been caught sneaking over here?”
“What the … how did you know that?”
“Oh, honey, the fact that you and Ward think you can sneak around in a small town is completely hilarious. Trust me, you can’t. It is already known that you two are secretly dating, but don’t worry. We’re all pretending we secretly don’t know about it.”
Kirsty opened and closed her mouth. “I had … wow.”
Bethany laughed and hugged her tight. “I have to admit, though, I am curious as to why you’re asking about a first-time kind of thing.”
This time, her face went bright red.
“Kirsty Helen Blake, are you about to tell me that in all the years we’ve known each other, you’ve never had sex?”
She shrugged.
Bethany pressed her hands to her mouth in a gasp. “Now that I think about it, you’ve never actually talked about the whole sex thing, and I’ve not seen you dating a whole lot of men. Oh, honey, that sucks. I am so sorry.”
This time, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you sorry?”
“You’re a thirty-year-old virgin. You and Ward haven’t, you know, done the deed?”
“I’m not going to say anything.”
Bethany rolled her eyes. “Look, I am only trying to help here. Yes, my and Randall’s first time was awful, but it might not be that way for you and Ward. You’re both adults, and you know what you’re doing. If not, then there’s a lot of porn available to get you started.”
Kirsty couldn’t help it and she burst out laughing. “Porn, seriously?”
Her best friend shrugged. “It’s helped me and Randall from time to time. We like to keep things spicy.”
“You know what, I really don’t need to hear any more about your sex life. Thank you very much.” She had already talked too much.
Now was the time to reel in the conversation before it gave her a heart attack.
Bethany moved to stand beside her. They had nearly finished their monthly cook-off and bake-off. The cookies were in the freezer for a couple of hours, then they could bag them up, divide them, and that helped with quick snacks throughout the month.
“How is it with you and Ward?”
“I’m not going to give details.”
Bethany growled. “I’m not after details, not in the slightest. I want to know how my best friend is finding her secret relationship?”
Kirsty thought about Ward, and she couldn’t help but smile. “It’s … pretty great, actually.” She loved it when he kissed her. He had nice, large hands, sexy, confident hands. The moment they were on her body, she lost all thought and was completely at his mercy.
Several times over the past three weeks, she had nearly begged him to take her. Each time, Ward would push her to that edge, but neither of them had fallen over it. She knew, deep in her heart, he was waiting for her to be ready.
He was acting like the perfect gentleman. Completely the opposite of what she’d known him to be.
She couldn’t help but smile as she thought about him and everything. He was amazing.
“I know that look,” Bethany said.
