Ethan pressed his lips together. “I can’t believe you’re asking me to fuck your fiancée.”

“I—”

“You know how I feel and you’re asking me to do that?” He balled his fists and looked up at the

ceiling.

“It’s why I’m asking,” Chase said softly.

Ethan’s head dropped, and he stared incredulously at Chase. “You can’t be serious.”

“If she doesn’t get what she needs, she’ll go insane. You know that.”

“What about Jayson?”

Chase shook his head. “He’s already having a hard time getting over her.”

“You think it’d be easier for me?”

Chase closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. It wasn’t fair to ask Ethan this. Although, it

wasn’t unheard of for wives of Elders to have lovers. He opened his eyes. “Ethan, I wouldn’t stop

you from being with her if—”

“It would be more than that and you know it.”

“If I was going to share her with anyone, it’d be you.”

Ethan frowned. “You’re fucking drunk.”

“I know.” Chase rubbed his face. Why had he thought this would be a good idea? He should have

just asked Richard to step in.

Ethan stared at him, hazel eyes wide and his hands in tight fists. “You’re asking me to be her

surrogate lover until you can do it. You’re asking me to be you until you can do it yourself.”

Chase’s shoulder’s slumped. “Forget it. I shouldn’t have asked.” He closed his eyes and ran his

hands over his face. “That was fucked up of me.”

“As long as you realize it.”

Chase slid his hand along the wall as he headed back to the living room. He’d call Richard in the

morning and—

“But I know why you did.”

Chase turned at Ethan’s softened voice.

Ethan leaned against the wall across from Chase and crossed his arms. “You’re right. She’s gonna

need help and I’m the logical person to do it.”

Chase frowned. “What?”
