refusing to release her until she was sitting on his lap.
    She struggled against his hold. “Don’t.”
    “Don’t what?”
    “Don’t cuddle me. Don’t make this any harder than it already is.”
    He tightened his grip. “Stop moving, Lex.” His tone was firm and she responded to it instantly, stilling. “Now, tell me. What’s hard about this?”
    She looked at him. “Are you proposing to me?”
    His heart ached with desire. There was nothing he wanted more than to marry her. He’d hoped he could convince her of his plan without having to make promises he couldn’t carry through with. He should have known that would never work with Alexis. He swallowed and nodded. “Yes. I am.”
    Alexis flinched, the response setting off alarms in his brain. He’d expected her to be happy. There was no way he’d misread her feelings. She wanted him as much as he wanted her.
    “My answer is no.”
    He wouldn’t accept that. Not without a damn good reason. “Why?”
    “There’s no way I’d let you give up everything for me. I couldn’t live with myself.”
    She loved him. If he’d ever questioned that, she had wiped away any doubt. She was walking away to protect him. His chest tightened, agony tearing through his gut. He had known this wouldn’t be easy, but he hadn’t anticipated the actual physical pain. “That decision isn’t yours to make. It’s mine.”
    “I don’t care. Take me out of the equation and everything is easier. You’ll find two partners who share your philosophy and who want to share their lives with you. It’s what you’ve always wanted.”
    There were too many factors she wasn’t taking into account. Like his feelings for her. And hers for him. And then…there was Michael. “Don’t be ridiculous. It’s not that simple. It never has been. If it were, I wouldn’t be sitting here.”
    He cupped her cheek and kissed her softly, meaning to comfort her. That intention was soon thrown out the window as their tongues tangled once more. Her breath was so sweet it made his mouth water. He’d never been so turned on by mere kisses.
    Alexis lifted her head, her eyebrow raised in disbelief. “Seriously? Already?”
    He grinned when he realized what she was referring to. “I’ve wanted you for a very long time.”
    “Are you sure Michael’s not sneaking Viagra out of the pharmacy for you? You’re nearly forty-five. There’s no way…”
    He turned her on his lap so she straddled him. Slowly, he eased back inside her pussy. They groaned in unison.
    She rested her forehead against his. “God. We’re being stupid again.”
    “No, we’re not.”
    This time the sex was slower. Neither of them felt compelled to grab the ring too quickly. Instead, they took the time to explore, to enjoy.
    When Alexis reached the peak this time, Harrison was right there with her. For several moments, they simply remained still, her cheek pressed to his. Harrison didn’t seek to pull out, anxious to remain connected to her for as long as he could.
    “Give me one month, Lex.”
    “What?”
    “Give me a month to show you why the Trinity Masters works. Four weeks to prove to you this is a good thing.” Sadly, he couldn’t risk taking any longer than that. He was already pushing the deadline to the limit, endangering the Trinity Masters as well as Michael and Alexis. Unfortunately, he couldn’t walk away until he knew the future was set.
    “How would you do that?”
    “I’ll introduce you to our third. You’ll agree to keep an open mind about the lifestyle. You’ll date us. Both of us. And I don’t mean cafeteria lunches at midnight. Real out-of-the-hospital dates. And you’ll be open to seduction.”
    She shook her head. “I can’t do that.”
    “Why?”
    “How can you ask me to give up my free will? To accept someone else as a potential lover?”
    “Lex—”
    “It’s time for you to be honest, Harry. If not to me, then at least to yourself. Why aren’t you taking another woman as your
