meant, but she’d make it clear that she didn’t think tonight was the right time for him to participate.
    Of course, Jonas wouldn’t mind sharing her with other men—that was part of the excitement for him—and he would assume she had been with Sloan before, but Sloan would know. And she would know.
    The waitress returned with Jonas’ soft drink. Janine sipped her white wine and glanced at Jonas sitting across from her. He was shorter than Derek and Sloan, but had the same broad shoulders and great physique. His dark blond hair was cut short but still long enough to curl a little around his face. When he smiled, his lips turned up a little more on one side than the other, giving him an adorably crooked smile. And she could lose herself in those hazel eyes ringed with dark brown. He glanced at her, caught her staring, and smiled. She almost giggled at the sight of his crooked smile and glowing eyes.
    Tonight would be the night with Jonas. And it added a special excitement that Sloan would be there, too. No doubt about it. The evening would be weird but definitely exciting.
    “What do you do for fun?” she asked Jonas, then grinned at the gleam in his eyes. “Like hobbies, I mean.”
    “I volunteer at a local cable company. I used to be part of the stage crew in my high school and enjoyed it, and continued that in college. I missed it after I left school, then found out a lot of jobs at the cable station are volunteer, so I signed up.”
    “What do you do for them?” she asked.
    “Lots of things, really, but usually camera work. That’s what I like best. And lighting. What about you?”
    “My favorite hobby would have to be reading,” she said. “I read a lot and … I like to socialize.”
    Derek chuckled. Sloan grabbed a nacho from the plate in the middle of the table and munched it.
    “What about you, Sloan? Any hobbies?” Jonas asked.
    “Not really.”
    That was it. He didn’t say any more. Typical Sloan. Didn’t reveal himself to anyone. Not even as simple a thing as talking about his interests.
    She wondered if he still liked classic cars—or had that been a teenage phase? Did he still enjoy video games? Like going to the movies, especially action/adventure? He’d never shared her passion for books, but she’d always enjoyed going to the movies with him and discussing the story line afterward, usually over burgers and fries at their favorite diner.
    She turned her gaze back to Jonas. His gaze slid to the swell of her breasts, accentuated by her deep neckline. Her nipples hardened at the thought that he’d soon be touching her breasts, licking her nipples … and more. And so would Derek.
    Sloan, on the other hand …
    Damn, she had to find a way to break it to him—privately—that he would not be participating exactly as he might have hoped this evening.

    Sloan followed Janine into Derek’s town house, with Jonas and Derek trailing behind. Anxiety gnawed at his insides. How would this work exactly?
    “So what is this interesting plan you have for tonight?” Jonas asked as he followed her into the living room.
    Janine twirled around and grinned. “I thought it might be fun to play some cards.”
    “Cards?” It wasn’t exactly what Sloan had expected Janine to suggest with three men at her disposal.
    “That’s right. You like poker, don’t you?”
    Ah, that’s what this was about.
    “I’ll get the poker chips,” Derek said.
    Janine draped her wrap over the back of one of Derek’s dining room chairs, then sat down. Jonas sat beside her. Realizing that this would probably turn into a game of strip poker, Sloan decided to sit across the table from her. With the round glass dining table, it would be a spectacular view. He gazed at the sexy sight of her long legs crossed at the thighs. Actually, the view was pretty damned hot right now.
    Derek returned with a wooden case and set it on the table. He opened it to reveal brightly colored poker chips with white stripes along
