 An Excerpt From: Wet and Wilde
If there was one thing Jane Wilde knew it was that she’d trade her left boob to avoid another pathetic Saturday night at Diana’s, swapping complaints about the slim pickin’s in the man department.
How could it be that bad?” Carmen, Jane’s other best friend, asked as she rounded the corner from the kitchen, her expression chock-full of wide-eyed hope.
Jane shot Diana an intentionally exaggerated look of admonishment and complied, giving her just enough room for her skinny ass to fit between the couch arm and Jane’s admittedly wider one.
