Chapter One

Three Days later…

“You’re quiet,” Kallie Checkwing commented from across the table of the small café on the east side of town.

Somali looked up from the drink she was stirring the melting ice around in to give Kallie a small smile. “I just have a lot on my mind.”

“Talk to me,” she said, reaching across to put her hand on Somali’s wrist. Kallie’s warm gaze was all the encouragement she needed.

“I’m thinking about leaving my job at Whitehead Pharm.”

Kallie’s brows lifted, and her eyes widened. “Are you serious? I thought you loved your job.”

That was the party line, but she hadn’t loved her job in a very long time.

She sighed. “I like some aspects of my job, but not where it’s going.”

“What do you like best?” Kallie asked leaning toward her.

“The research, the healing,” Somali admitted.

“Then, why don’t you go to work for the clinic here?” Kallie asked with a shrug. “You could do what you love, and I’d see even more of you.”

Somali smiled. She’d known Kallie as a child when her family had lived here after returning from New York. When the pharm company took off, they moved to the city keeping the house here as their weekend home.

Two years ago, she and Kallie had reconnected at a café in the city, and they’d grown to be good friends again. When Kallie moved back home, Somali had had a valid reason for coming here every weekend.

Getting to know Kallie again, Somali realized just how much she wanted the friendship to flourish. She liked having someone to talk to, to spend time with.

“I enjoy our time together too,” Somali admitted. “But I’m going to talk to mother first. She and my father have shares in the company. Plus, there’s the Circle Wellness Center to consider.”

The center was a health spa borne of the pharm company. Her parents managed the thriving spa, and they now had locations in fifty cities. Somali often created treatments for use at the center.

“They’re big boys and girls,” Kallie told her gently. “They can do this without you. Besides, I’m sure they’d want you to be happy.”

Somali snorted. “They want me under their thumbs.” She just didn’t want to live like that anymore.

“They might have an adjustment problem, but they’ll get past it.” She grinned.

Somali nodded slowly, her heart quickening with the excitement of new prospects. “It’s probably a chance worth taking.”

“I’m not the only one you’ll get to see more of if you move to town full time,” Kallie teased.

“What?” she asked, her voice a little high-pitched with surprise.

“Don’t think I haven’t noticed,” Kallie said, eyes dancing merrily. “You are always eating her up with your eyes.”

“Who?” Somali asked incredulously, her cheeks a little hot.

“Oh, don’t play dumb with me. You know darn well who I’m talking about.” Kallie’s gaze darted past her, and she grinned. “Well, here she comes now.”

Somali jerked around to see a couple of tall women striding toward their table. The dark-skinned woman was attractive, but her friend, the blonde was even more so.

Peta Goldenherst was her dream woman—all long legs and hard, toned body. Her short dark blonde hair was cut in a gamine that gleamed golden in the sunlight.

Peta’s gaze held hers, and Somali shivered, her wings wanting to emerge and flutter, to show off the vibrant colors and the lacy lilac edge that was like a frame.

The wings, the color, the shape, and the designs on them were little more than plumage for seduction during courting. Sometimes the designs could be seen on the butterfly’s back during mating season.

“Ahem,” Kallie cleared her throat and Somali faced her, her face flaming. “You were saying?”

“Shut up, Kal,” she muttered, and Kallie laughed.

“Hello, girls,” Sienna, Kallie’s mate said as she slipped into the chair next to Kallie.

“Hi honey,” Kallie said giving her a smile, and Somali looked away feeling like a voyeur.

“Hi, gorgeous,” Peta murmured after taking the seat next to her. “How’s it going?”

“Hi,” she said keeping her gaze focused on the bridge of Peta’s nose.

“I’m surprised to see you in town in the middle of the week. Is it a holiday?”

The teasing in Peta’s tone brought a smile to Somali’s face. “I just came to spend the day with Kallie,” she said.

“Are you girls having a good time then?” Peta asked.

“Fine. A little lunch,” Somali said looking at her glass.

“Doesn’t look like you ordered much,” Sienna said.

“We were thinking we’d keep it light,” Kallie replied. “What are you guys up to?”

“Lunch break,” Sienna answered. “Are you going to be here for dinner, Somali?”

“Yes, but I have some work to finish up.”

“That’s too bad,” Sienna said. “I was hoping you’d join us for some playtime at the club tonight.”

The sex club.

She enjoyed doing scenes there, but Peta was the only one she really wanted to touch her these days. So, Somali didn’t go on as regular a basis as she used to.

“That is too bad,” Peta commented, her thigh brushing Somali’s under the table.

Somali shivered from the touch but forced her gaze to remain on her drink. Peta always left her flustered and wet, nipples hard. Right now, was no exception.

“Some other time then,” Sienna said.

“Actually, she’ll have dinner with us some other time,” Kallie said giving Sienna a look from beneath her lashes.

“Fine,” Sienna said. “For now.”

What did that mean?

Somali was afraid to ask, but she’d heard Sienna and her friends liked to share their women. She just didn’t think Sienna was still into that now that she had Kallie.

“Somali might not have the stomach for our games,” Peta said. “So, leave her alone, Sienna.” Peta winked at her, and Somali’s breath caught as their stare held.

“Whatever you say,” Sienna said and held up her hand to signal for the waiter. “Peta, I guess you and Tas will have to go without us tonight.”

Peta shrugged. “I’m sure Tas will have no objections to that. She said you’re becoming more of a killjoy everyday,” Peta teased.

“Whatever,” Sienna grumbled, and Peta chuckled. Her entire face became even more gorgeous, her blue eyes dancing.

Somali was glad they’d let the subject drop because the only woman she wanted was right next to her.

“Do you have time to do a little shopping with me?” Kallie asked after lunch.

“Sure. The weekend is all mine.”

“Great. Why don’t you follow me over?” Kallie asked.

“Okay.”

They made their way to the parking lot and to their cars. Once in her little four door Kia, Somali started the engine and followed Kallie to a mini mall of shops in the middle of town.

She hadn’t bought anything new in a long time, but her mother picked most of her evening wear on the pretext of knowing what was best for her. Somali was tired of that. It made her feel like she was a visitor in her own life.

They strolled into the shop which was nearly empty on this Friday afternoon. The two sales clerks were behind the checkout counter with bored expressions on their faces as they surveyed the store.

“Good afternoon, ladies.” The brunette rounded the counter wearing a cheerful smile. “Can I help you with something?”

“We’re just browsing for now,” Kallie said. “Thanks.”

“Let me know if you change your mind,” she said.

“We will,” Kallie replied, and they browsed the store heading for the lingerie section.

“Sienna always picks out my underwear, but I’ve decided to surprise her.”

“Don’t you hate that?” She wrinkled her nose.

“Why would I?” Kallie asked. “She has good taste. Plus, Sienna likes surprising me.” She laughed. “What do you think about these?”

Kallie held up a pair of black panties that Somali was sure would cover very little.

“I don’t know.” She didn’t wear thongs or anything like it. “I’m going to check out the dresses.” She wandered off, her mind on the things in her own underwear drawer.

Nothing she owned was racy or revealing. Her panties were functional and pretty just like the rest of her clothes.

Maybe an upgrade would be nice. No one would see her panties though.

But they’d be something pretty just for you.

Somali started to head back over and was taken by a cute little dress. It was a simple red dress with a calf length skirt.

“It’s on sale,” the sales associate told her. “It would look great on you too, with your coloring. Put your hair up and you’d be a knock-out.”

Somali looked at her. “It’s on sale?”

The woman smiled. “Yep. Come take a look at the lingerie that’s on sale. There is a red and white bra and panty set that will make your man’s eyes pop out of his head.”

Somali followed her over to the table. The woman held up the set before picking out a few more. Somali found herself taking all four sets along with the dress.

The shopping excursion lasted three hours, and Somali was surprised at the things she’d selected from the other boutiques they’d checked out after leaving the first. She didn’t have anyone to admire her in them but that might change she was moving back to town.

After getting them home she removed the tags and washed the lingerie while hanging the clothes.

She started to run a bath and the doorbell rang. She quickly went to answer it finding a delivery man. He gave her a friendly smile.

“Hi,” he said. “I have a package for Somali Greentree.”

“That’s me.”

“Great.” He grinned. “Sign here.” He held up a clipboard.

She signed, and he handed her a small package.

“Have a nice evening,” he said and gave her a nod before striding back out to his truck.

Somali frowned and took the item to her bedroom. She went to start her bath and added bath oil to the water before going into her spacious pale copper and white bedroom.

She unwrapped the package finding a neatly folded noted attached to the velvet box top.

Unfolding it, she read it.

Hello beautiful,

I saw this after seeing your dazzling smile and knew I had to get it for you. I hope this brightens up your day as thinking of you lights up mine.

Somali grinned, her stomach fluttering. She knew who she wanted her secret admirer to be, but she wouldn’t bet her life on it.

Lifting the lid, a diamond encrusted heart surrounded by red rose petals winked up at her. The tiny charm would clip nicely onto the link chain of the memory locket bracelet she’d received from the same admirer.

“Lovely,” she said softly. “Thank you. Whoever you are.” This person had no idea how cherished they made her feel.

“Hey, sis,” her older brother Palin called from the corridor. “I’m going out. Be back later.”

“Have fun,” she called. She’d be settling down with her research notes for the night after her hot bath and wishing she was spending the evening in Peta’s company.
