added, “so I like to do what I can to help him keep his mind off it.”
    “Like introduce him to me.” Janine grinned.
    “Well, you do have a way of putting a little excitement into a man’s life.” Derek sipped his beer from the frosty glass mug in front of him.
    “I’ve heard that,” Jonas said, grinning as he gazed at her. “I heard you have something interesting planned for us tonight.”
    “Derek made the suggestion and I thought it would be a great way to break the ice between us.”
    “I’m looking forward to it, whatever it is.” Jonas’ eyes gleamed.
    Derek also watched her a little too closely for Sloan’s liking.
    Sloan had to stop himself from grabbing her hand and dragging her from the table and the two other men showing such intense interest in her.
    Damn it, could he really share her with two other men? For fuck sake, he hadn’t even been with her himself. Their first time together should not be a shared experience.
    Jonas slid his empty mug aside and stood up. “When the waitress comes back, order me another soft drink. I’ll be right back.”
    Jonas headed toward the restrooms, passing the waitress as she returned with a plate of nachos and set them on the center of the table. Derek pointed toward Jonas’ empty glass and she nodded and took it with her.
    Sloan turned to Janine. “So, have you and Jonas … uh…”
    “No, not yet,” Derek answered. “Tonight will be their first time.”
    Jonas’ first time, too? Damn it, Sloan didn’t even get to be unique in that tonight.
    “Actually, I was a little surprised that you agreed to tonight,” Derek said. “After that false start the other night, and then when I found out your history and … stuff.”
    “I’ll be fine,” Sloan answered stiffly, wondering exactly how much of their history Derek knew. Did he know Sloan had never had sex with her? Did he know they’d been fighting an incredible attraction for more than a decade?
    Janine patted Sloan’s shoulder. “Sloan tells me he’s totally okay with dating on my terms. I think he feels it will add a little excitement to his life.”
    So she hadn’t painted him as a lovesick ex-beau, or worse, a wannabe beau. Instead, it sounded like she’d painted a picture of old friends hooking up for fun and games.

    Janine was very aware of Sloan sitting beside her. His closeness. His masculinity. Excitement stirred as she wondered what it would be like when he finally touched her … intimately. Kissed her … in private places. When they finally stepped over the line they’d drawn in the sand years ago to explore the wild passion they both knew would explode between them.
    Jonas returned and sat across from her.
    She had to go slowly with Sloan. Walk him through a few things before going too far. Maybe she shouldn’t have set up a date with him tonight, when she’d already committed to a date with Jonas and Derek … a date where she and Jonas, who had hit it off wonderfully when they’d met on his last visit, were going to have sex for the first time. She had been looking forward to sex with Jonas ever since the first night she’d met him. Handsome. Sexy. A great sense of humor. And he made her insides tingle.
    She absolutely couldn’t have sex with Jonas and with Sloan for the first time on the same night. Tonight was about Sloan finding out exactly what going out with her meant. He needed to experience that, to really understand it, before she’d go to the next level with him. She was pretty sure he couldn’t handle it, and why put both of them through the heartache if it was never going to work between them?
    That’s why tonight was actually the perfect night. No matter how tempted she became to have sex with Sloan tonight, the fact that it would be her first time with Jonas would keep things in perspective. She wouldn’t diminish the first-time experience for either man. So Sloan could watch, could see what sharing her with other men really
