“So here’s what’s going on,” Nicole started. “We’ll be in teams of three. Each team will take an Uber or taxi to different sex shops around the city looking for everything on the list. After the team gets all the items listed, they are to go to the designated place. Brooke, you get to keep everything we purchase.”

My eyes widened. “I get to keepeverything?”

She smiled. “Everything.”

“What the hell is on these lists?”

“Each team has the same items listed, but since people have different tastes, you shouldn’t get the same items.”

I was nervous as hell. Everyone seemed modest except for Nicole. I was certain she’d find a big, thick dildo to give me—if that was on the list.

“So, I get to pick out stuff on the team I’m on?”

Nicole grinned. “That’s the catch. You’re only going along for the ride.”

I glared at her. “Well, that’s no fun.”

“Sounds like fun to me.” Lucy laughed.

Nicole did a quick clap and dismissed my grumble. “Okay, now for teams.” She dug into the bag and pulled out a small piece of folded paper. “Lucy, you’re with me.”

Bailee grabbed the bag and drew a name. “Tonia’s with me.”

Nicole took the bag again. “April.” Nicole smiled.

I quickly added everything up in my head. “Wait. I’m looking at sex toys with my baby sister?”

Bailee wrapped an arm around me. “It won’t be bad, sis. I won’t tell you whatI’minto.”

My breath caught as a million thoughts ran through my mind. I shivered. “Yeah, let’s not go down that road.”

“All right. Let’s head out.” Nicole started to walk, and everyone followed, Bailee hooking her arm through mine.

I wanted to protest. I was certain I would need to have a good buzz going to get through sex shop hopping with my sister. However, I kept my mouth shut and went with the flow. I wanted to get drunk later so I could have sloppy sex with Easton anyway.

We walked out to the busy street that ran in front of Halo. Two cars were parked in the red zone and I followed Bailee and Tonia into one car while the other three went in the other car. Bailee gave the driver an address, and we were off. I watched as the taillights of the car disappeared in New York City’s constant traffic.

“So do we get something if we’re first?” I looked toward Tonia and then Bailee.

Bailee turned around. “Nope. But if we come in first, then we can start drinking earlier.”

“What about dinner?” I was starving. Dinner, drinks, and shenanigans were supposed to be a part of the plan.

“That’s after the sex shops.” The driver’s gaze turned toward Bailee as she spoke and he smiled. “We’re meeting at the restaurant.”

“Oh, thank God,” I murmured.

“So…” Bailee looked at the Uber app on her phone, “Uzzi. We need to go to multiple places tonight. You down to drive us around for a few hours?”

He grinned. “You mean multiple sex shops?”

We all chuckled.

“Yeah,” Bailee confirmed.

“This will be the highlight of my year.”

Bailee nodded. “Awesome.” After a few beats, she spoke again. “Your name sounds like a gun.”
