your mother has gone camping and fishing because she knows how much Sterling enjoys those activities. But we all know her favorite way of rewarding that man is with some good old-fashioned pussy .”
Samara gave a mortified groan as the others burst out laughing.
“Poor Samara,” Reese teased. “I know how much it embarrasses you, Marcus and Michael to think of your parents getting it on. That’s why your mother and Sterling sleep in the guesthouse every time we spend the night at their place. They don’t want us to hear Asha screaming while Sterling blows her back out.”
Everyone pealed with laughter while Samara covered her face and groaned even louder.
“Don’t feel bad,” Taylor consoled her. “Manning’s parents are like that too. That’s why we don’t spend the night at their house. Manning refuses to be traumatized.”
This, of course, set off another wave of giggles. Even Samara had to chuckle.
Lexi grinned at her friends. “Can you imagine having hot sex like that in your sixties and seventies? Now that’s what I’m talking about.”
“Oh, I know.” Reese’s dark eyes twinkled. “Before I cut my hours at the hospital, there were many nights I’d stumble home too tired to even think about sex. But Michael? No matter how many hours he’s been slaving in the kitchen at the restaurant, he’s always up for some action when he gets home. And once he’s had his shower? Oh, it’s on.” She grinned wickedly. “If he takes after his father, that man will never need Viagra.”
“He probably won’t. He’s got that insatiable Wolf appetite,” Taylor said with a wink.
As Reese and Samara began singing the lyrics to “Hungry Like the Wolf,” Lexi pointedly cleared her throat and raised her hand.
“As the only one here who’s not married to a Wolf, let me just say Mr. Reddick’s no slouch either. The man jumped my bones as soon as my doctor cleared me for sex after Junior was born, and he’s been wearing me out ever since. But I’m not complaining because, hey, a girl’s got needs too.” She simulated riding a bucking bronco, gyrating her hips and waving her arm above her head like a lasso.
As her friends threw back their heads and howled with laughter, she grinned. Soon all four women were laughing until they cried, as they did every time they got together.
When the hilarity died down and tears were wiped from eyes, Lexi took a satisfying swig of her champagne and then nodded to Samara. “Marcus’s mother is keeping the kids today, isn’t she?”
“Yup.” Samara grinned. “That’s definitely one of the perks of having her come for extended visits.”
Taylor looked thoughtful. “She does visit an awful lot.”
“Without her husband too.” Lexi raised a brow. “What’s up with that?”
“Well, she’s retired from nursing, so she has a lot of time on her hands. Unlike Grant, who’s always busy with his committees and research studies. I think she feels lonely and neglected at times, so coming here to be with her family makes her feel better, less isolated.” Samara paused, lips twitching. “She loves her grandchildren and thoroughly enjoys looking after them, but I know she also worries about them spending more time with my mother than her. So that’s another reason she visits so often.”
Reese drawled humorously, “Her grandchildren aren’t the only reason she’s in competition with your mother.”
Samara gave her a look of amused warning. “Don’t start.”
“What?” Reese blinked with exaggerated innocence. “I didn’t say anything.”
“You said plenty.”
Lexi glanced from one to the other and chuckled dryly. “I think it’s no secret that Celeste still has feelings for Sterling. What she chooses to do about it, only time will tell.”
“I hope she doesn’t do anything,” Samara said grimly. “It took Marcus twenty-five years to forgive her for breaking up their family. They’re finally in a good place in their relationship, but if
