Bethany grinned again and patted the couch beside her. “Sit down and tell me all about last night.”
“Nothing happened,” Kari denied, even as she felt her cheeks warm.
“If it was nothing, why’s your face getting red?”
Not for the first time, she cursed her fair complexion. Blushes always gave her away. “Because—” She stopped, remembering she hadn’t told Bethany where to find her, because she hadn’t known herself until after they’d parted for the day. “Stop giving me the third degree, Beth. I want to know how you knew where I was.”
This time, Bethany’s smile radiated satisfaction. “Let’s just say loverboy’s friend, Cody, was very knowledgeable.”
Unimpressed, Kari made a face at her friend. “You mean it was my wedding night and you were getting the action?”
Bethany frowned. “Don’t tell me you didn’t get any.”
“With a guy I hardly know? You know me better than that!” Kari shot back, purposely forgetting to mention her early morning interlude with Damien. There were some things that even Bethany didn’t need to know, and this was one of them. Beth would never let her hear the end of it.
“But Cody said Damien was really into you, and I know he turns you on.”
“That doesn’t mean we had to act on it,” Kari pointed out, quite reasonably, she thought.
“Doesn’t mean you couldn’t have, either.”
It figured Beth wasn’t satisfied with that. She never was, when it came to needling Kari about her avoidance of the sensual side of life. “Not everyone hops into bed the minute they meet.”
Bethany rolled her eyes. “When there’s that much attraction between you, you should.”
Kari opened her mouth to protest, but Bethany continued. “You two really were hot for each other, Kar, and except for sheer size, he seems nothing like Rob. So what happened?”
Her protest might as well have gone unspoken, because Beth merely repeated the question. “What went wrong?”
Kari squirmed under her friend’s unwavering scrutiny. “Nothing went wrong!”
