waist. Lance’s hands curled into fists. She was so fucking sexy with her hair mussed, breasts spilling out, panties around her thighs, showing off the trim line of hair on her sex.
    Preston released her and Carly ran from the room after shooting an angry glare Lance’s direction.
    Preston retrieved her dress from the floor. For a moment, Lance braced himself, expecting the other man to throw a punch. Hell, he almost hoped he would. Lance deserved the pain.
    Instead, Preston simply followed Carly.
    Lance ran his hand through his hair. Well, he’d fucked that up royally.
    The worst part was she was right. It was a mistake for two of them to enjoy each other without the third present. But that seemed complicated and messy. He didn’t like either of those things, spent a majority of his life cleaning up shit like that.
    However , he did like sex, and he knew he and Carly would be so hot together they’d probably set the bed on fire.
    Preston Kim. He was the unknown, a complication. Lance didn’t have a choice about letting Preston into his life, but he still didn’t know if the other man was a friend or a threat.
    Grabbing the bottle of whiskey off the bar, he took it back to his room. The day was already fucked up beyond repair; he might as well end it drunk as fuck.

    Chapter Three
     
    “Carly, are you al l right?”
    Carly lifted her head and no dded. Her blood was humming with anger , embarrassment and unsatisfied desire. The way Lance had held and touched her had been terrifyingly arousing. It had taken all the strength in her body to walk away from him.
    Preston followed her into her room, her dress in his hand. Her breasts were back in her bra, her wet underwear in place, but she still took the dress, holding it on her lap.
    “Thank you.”
    “Why don’t we go get some dinner? I think we need to get out for a few minutes, see some normal people.”
    Carly laughed. “That’s a good idea . Give me a moment to change.”
    Preston nodded, and then touched her cheek with one finger before leaving.
    Carly let out a breath and flopped back on the bed. Her skin was alive and tingling. She’d never been aroused so quickly before. Lance had handled her with a skill and complete assurance she’d never encountered, but which she certainly found exciting.
    If Preston hadn’t followed her and invited her to dinner , she would be lying on her bed with her hand between her legs finishing what Lance had started. However, with Preston waiting she did n’t have time, so she sl ipped into the bathroom and cleaned up, then swapped out her lingerie for a much less complicated matching bra and panty set. She pulled on a gray , wool fifties- style dress with a full skirt and fitted bodice. She hadn’t brought many of her regular, far more casual, clothes, so this would have to do. Adding her boots, she pulled her hair back in a simple bun and headed out the door.

    Preston tasted the wine and nodded to the server, who poured two glasses. It was early, and the restaurant down the street from the hotel had just opened for dinner. They were the only diners, which was fine with Preston as he hoped this would be a private conversation. They were at a prime corner table, seated so they could look out the windows on either side, watching as the city wrapped up work for the day.
    When the server left, Carly raised her glass to take a sip. He was both surprised and pleased by who she was. Because of his family, he understood that being partnered to someone with so much power and potential was a sign that the Grand Master thought highly of him and what he could do. Carly’s company had developed a console and game that was a living, changing thing. No cheat codes or walk-throughs worked in the world she’d created. The game watched how people played and l earned from it, adapting to their skills. That meant the game was thinking, not just randomizing. It was a brilliant bit of computer science, the brainchild
