THE APARTMENT DOOR opened, and Dillon and Ryan walked in.

“Hey,” I called out to them, keeping my head down, certain they’d know exactly what I’d been doing to Rue earlier. She’d vanished into the bathroom after being the one to tell me to stop, and I hadn’t seen her since. I’d heard the faucet running, so I assumed she was taking a bath, but even the thought of her naked body submerged in the bubbles was enough to make me hard again.

Fuck. What had I been thinking?

I was supposed to be the sensible one among the three of us, and yet I hadn’t been able to control myself around her. The moment she’d sucked my finger into her mouth, I’d lost my mind. I’d had to have her, and I didn’t give a fuck what the others would say about it. If she’d said yes, I’d have screwed her against the kitchen counter without even giving the others a second thought.

I’d have put my money on Dillon being the one out of us who’d screw her first, but it had almost ended up being me.

This wasn’t only about the sex. She was supposed to mean nothing to us, but over the last couple of days, I’d watched her get closer to Dillon, and even Ryan had lost his icy edge around her, and the lines had started to blur.

I shouldn’t have gone there, not only because of what the others would say, but because I’d sworn off women several years ago.

“How did the appointment go?” I asked them.

Ryan and Dillon exchanged a glance.

“As expected,” Ryan said, but I felt like something else had happened.

There wasn’t time to get into it now. I wanted to talk to them both before Rue emerged from the bathroom.

“I need to talk to you about something.”

“Rue?” Dillon guessed instantly.

“She does seem to be the main focus of attention right now.”

He cocked an eyebrow. “Is that a bad thing?”

“Let me finish, Dill.”

He lifted both hands as though to say, ‘go ahead.’

I sucked in a deep breath and pushed the words from my mouth before I could lose my nerve. “I almost fucked her this afternoon.”

Dillon stared at me and then burst into laughter. “Well, I didn’t think you’d be the first one to get your dick wet.”

I guessed laughter was better than anger. “I didn’t, but I would have if she hadn’t pushed me away.” I’d been such a fucking hypocrite. I looked to Ryan, who definitely wasn’t laughing.

“Ryan?” I prompted him for a response.
