too.
    But was she open enough for something as outrageous as what
he wanted to suggest?
    “We missed you at my brother’s wedding,” Alexa said,
knocking Brandon from his thoughts. “I’m sorry that you couldn’t make it.”
    Guilt smacked him hard. He’d been such an ass that day,
acting jealous. He hadn’t known what had come over him. Hell, he’d been in a
mood for so long he could hardly pull himself out of it. The thought of meeting
Alexa and the potential that might brew between the three of them was the first
thing that made him genuinely smile in months. “Yeah well, I had to work
unfortunately. I’m sorry I missed it too.”
    Eric shot him a knowing look before he turned to Alexa. “You
couldn’t have missed him that bad after what happened Saturday night.”
    The bartender had set her drink in front of her only moments
before and she was sipping on it when Eric dropped that particular bomb. She
almost choked. “Eric, shut up,” she said with a sputter.
    “It’s okay. I told him what we did,” Eric said with a shrug.
    Alexa’s eyes went wide as she looked between the two of
them. Brandon tensed, waiting for her reaction. Would she freak out? Would she
brush it off? Or would she venture into more unchartered territory?
    “You told him?” she asked after they all remained quiet.
    “I did.” Eric glanced at Brandon. “And he doesn’t mind.”
    She turned to Brandon. “You don’t?”
    He shrugged, suddenly uncomfortable with all of her
attention focused on him. “It happened. What am I supposed to do? Get enraged
and call him a cheater? It was just a kiss.”
    Alexa stared at him. Grabbed her drink and sipped from the
straw continuously, as if she wanted to polish off the drink in minutes. He’d
made her uncomfortable, he could sense it, but he was trying to let her know
that he didn’t mind. Wanted to gauge her reaction and see if she was open to
certain possibilities.
    “Just a kiss,” she said slowly. “What if there had been
more?”
    “Like what?” He wanted to hear her say it. Say something
suggestive, dirty. Just wanted to watch a graphic word drop from her pretty,
pouty lips.
    “I don’t know.” She shrugged, really uncomfortable now.
“Like what if we’d had sex?”
    “Eric’s never had sex with a woman before,” Brandon said
carefully, surprised their conversation had turned toward this direction so fast.
“I doubt he would’ve had sex with you.”
    She appeared indignant, a little insulted. “What do you mean
by that?”
    “I mean that I’ve already told him if he’s interested in
having sex with a woman we should all do it…together.”
    The table went absolutely silent. Eric didn’t say a word,
and they’d never had that particular conversation before. He’d warned Eric
before they came to the bar to let him lead tonight.
    She remained silent for so long he wondered if he blew it.
He looked over at Eric before he spoke again. “Do you want to have sex with
Eric?”
    “I’ve always wanted to have sex with Eric,” she said
automatically, not bashful at all. She looked almost relived for admitting it.
    “Then what would you say if I told you that you could have
sex with Eric—but I’m part of the bargain. Would you be interested?”

Chapter Four
    Alexa went still at Brandon’s seemingly innocent words. Well
it was his tone that was innocent — his words were anything but.
    “Then what would you say if I told you that you could
have sex with Eric, but I’m part of the bargain. Would you be interested?”
    She accepted their invitation for drinks and ended up
getting propositioned within minutes of arriving? What the hell?
    And what the hell was wrong with her that she was actually
considering it?
    “You don’t have to answer that,” Eric said, reaching across
the table to give her hand a gentle squeeze. His expression was full of both
understanding and worry, and she wondered if he even knew his boyfriend had
been going to mention something like
