drink. For all I
know you might intend to jump me.” His eyes glowed with suppressed humor, his
large frame more relaxed than normal. “What would you like to watch? Rom-com or
action movie?”
    “Action movie,” she said.
    Sebastian pushed a few buttons and placed
his arm around her shoulders, drawing her nearer.
    “Is that your best seduction move?”
    “Nope. I was feeling cold.”
    Jen grinned. “Liar.”
    “Shush, the movie’s starting.”
    Disinclined to move, she cuddled against
him and concentrated on the movie. His scent wrapped around her while his
warmth soaked into her side. Fully relaxed, physical tiredness claimed her. Her
eyelids kept falling shut and finally she gave up the fight and slept.
    When the closing credits of the movie
started, Sebastian carefully separated himself from Jen and stood. She didn’t
wake when he picked her up and carried her down the passage to his room. After
managing to pull back the covers with one hand, he set her down gently. She
murmured something unintelligible when he removed her shoes, but still didn’t
wake. He was tempted to join her but didn’t. Wayne wanted her, and he couldn’t
make a move on Jen or do anything that might upset Wayne.
    Loving Wayne the way he did meant it
wouldn’t be fair of Sebastian to take his friendship with Jen any further. No,
it would be best if he left her to sleep in his bed. Alone.
    A quick glance at his watch confirmed the
lateness of the hour. Wayne had obviously decided to spend the night with his
parents. He’d spend the night in Wayne’s bed. Wayne wouldn’t mind.

Chapter Four
     
    “Sebastian!”
    Sebastian grunted, rolling over to avoid
another elbow to the ribs. “Damn it, Wayne.” His voice was gritty with sleep,
but he came awake quickly with a half-naked Wayne leaning over him. The
darkness of the room made his other senses pop, and he could smell Wayne’s
aftershave and the soap they used in the shower. “Do you have to shake me?”
    “Why are you in my bed? You have a
perfectly good one in your room.”
    “Jen’s using it. She stayed for dinner and
went to sleep while we were watching a movie. It’s cold. Put the covers back.”
    Wayne ignored his request. “Dude, why
aren’t you in there with her? You’re missing a perfect chance to make a move on
her.”
    “Not when I know you’re interested in her.”
    “I told you last night. Both of us should
go after her.”
    “For a little fun? I don’t want fun.”
Sebastian squeezed his eyes shut at the pain knifing him in the chest. “I want
a relationship with someone who cares for me. Me. Not the possessions I bring
to the table.”
    “Shift over.” Wayne slid onto the bed, and
pulled the covers back into place.
    Sebastian froze, his breath catching when
Wayne pressed his cold body against his back. “Snuggling?”
    Wayne chuckled, not embarrassed in the
least. “You’re warm. We could have something special with Jen. I don’t know why
I didn’t think of it before.”
    “Man, I know you’re the idea person in our
business, but have you thought this through? Say we go ahead. You know some of
what Fletch and Liam went through when they hooked up with Gaby. Do you want
that for Jen? People abusing her in public? And what about your family? Surely
they wouldn’t approve?”
    Wayne’s adopted family was brilliant, but
he didn’t think they’d feel comfortable about Wayne sharing a woman. They held
traditional values. Not that there was anything wrong with that.
    Sebastian took a shallow breath and tried
to ignore Wayne’s solid chest at his back. “Besides, Jen and I discussed
threesomes over dinner. We both decided there was potential for pain. I don’t
want to lose your friendship.”
    “Don’t be silly.” Wayne’s warm breath blew
across his ear.
    Gooseflesh pebbled on Sebastian’s arms and
legs. Move your mouth a little lower. Self-loathing followed swiftly,
and he burst into speech. “All I’m saying is you can’t just decide
