The Devil With A Deal:>>Ep31

The rest of the hot tub all separated like the water had gone cold. Tara wasn't jerking off the boys anymore. In fact, there seemed to be a foot of space between everyone. Even Kate and I were giving each other distance. The world went silent again. Only now it felt oppressive rather than freeing -- odd since all the sounds were the same.

"What'd you all get up to?" Jesse asked. Again, he was talking to me. Again, I have no idea why he decided that I was the friendly face.

"You know, the usual," I said. Kate gave me a look, her cheeks turning pink. "We've been sleeping, mostly."

Jesse gave me a judging stare and I was glad for it. I'd sooner tell my wife's 103-year-old grandma about my night of debauchery than Jesse. No matter what I said, he wasn't going to be impressed. And even if he was, I wouldn't want him to be.

"Tar'?" Jesse asked, "I hope you at least had some fun." Here, he looked directly at Mason and Carlos.

Tara let out a long dramatic sigh. "Just tell us, Jesse. I know you want to."

Her husband broke into a wide grin, not at all sheepish and far too proud. "I did some stuff," Jesse said, "This party was awesome. So many hot chicks." He gave Lil a lascivious wink.

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself," Tara said, clearly not at all glad.

"Don't act like you didn't," Jesse said, and my heart skipped a beat. Something about the way he said it made me wonder if he knew way more than he was letting on. If Jesse was aware of what Tara and I had done together, I was doomed. The consequences of all my choices were barreling down on me, and there was no way for me to jump out of the way.

"You're right," Tara said, conceding, "I did have fun." She gave Mason an affectionate tap on his shoulder. But she didn't say anything more.

And then, just as it seemed I couldn't be buried any deeper, I head the glass doors slide open one last time and Vanessa and Brian stepped out onto the deck. They looked down at the tub, at me and Kate, and smiled broadly. "Hey guys!" Vanessa said.

All of us were now paired by relationship, more or less -- Tara was next to Mason, then Vanessa and Brian, Kate and me, Jesse, and Lil, with Carlos closing out the circle. I remembered thinking we could fit four more into that hot tub and now here we were. Nine people packing into that little blue circle -- I didn't dare think about the fact that it seemed like we could easily fit a tenth. Mason opened one of the jugs that Brian had brought

I was feeling pretty comfortable. Not drunk, I didn't think, just floating along. Kate leaned her head on my shoulder. I figured she was about as far along as me. For a moment, I wondered if the coke she'd done earlier had finally left her system. She didn't seem to be crashing, but she wasn't acting high anymore either. I gave Kate a
