Chapter 75

-Maya’s POV-

“You got f*cked,”

My head snapped up, meeting Natalia’s eyes sparkling with excitement. Sarah’s face mirrored her enthusiasm, while Riley, behind the bar, pretended to focus on mixing drinks, her eyes flicking towards us with interest.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I started to say, but Natalia cut me off, nearly jumping out of her seat, “Oh my Goddess, you’re totally blushing! It did happen! Tell us everything!” Natalia’s voice was like a bubbly explosion, impossible to ignore.

Sarah chimed in, her brow wiggling with mischief. “Was he good? How big is his… you know?” She let out a sly giggle, and Riley chuckled, shaking her head.

I kept quiet, my face burning, as Natalia grabbed my shoulders and shook me. “Tell us, tell us!”

Riley finally intervened, her voice firm but gentle. “You two, leave her alone. Let her share if she wants to, otherwise, back off.”

Natalia pouted, releasing my shoulders, but her eyes still sparkled with curiosity

Natalia pouted, releasing my shoulders, but her eyes still sparkled with curiosity. “Come on, Riley. She’s been celibate for four years, and now she’s finally gotten some action!”

Sarah chimed in, her brow still wiggling with mischief. “Come on Amaya. Don’t be boring. We want all the juicy details!”

I shook my head, trying to maintain my composure. “There’s no tea to spill, guys. Really, it’s nothing.”

Natalia’s face scrunched up in disbelief. “Nothing? You’re blushing like a tomato! That’s not nothing! You’ve been married to Ivan for months now, and we know you two have been building up to this moment.”

I rolled my eyes, trying to deflect. “It’s not a big deal, okay?”

Natalia’s eyes lit up. “Ooh, so it’s a big deal!”

Riley tried to intervene again, her voice firm. “Natalia, Sarah, leave her alone. She doesn’t want to talk about it.”

But Sarah brushed Riley off, her voice persistent. “Just a few details, pleeease? We’re your friends, and we care about you! We just want to know how you got railed.”

I groaned into my hands. Of all the people I could have made friends with it just had to be these two but I could feel my resolve weakening. “Fine… it was amazing, okay? Happy now?”
