as a lover?”
Temperance closed her eyes. “I can’t answer that right
now.”
“Okay, we’ll just go to sleep.”

Richard was everything Jay hadn’t imagined. How could
his luck be that bad? Temperance had always wanted a man like Richard, and it
didn’t have anything to do with the money either. She liked them muscular,
strong, and with a sense of humor. When he’d been in high school, and she’d admitted
her fantasy to him, Jay had signed up to the gym and begun tryouts with the
weight lifting team.
Damn, one of the reasons he’d held off pursuing
Temperance was his own desires. He loved threesomes, and over the years had
come to see how erotic it was to watch his woman let go in the arms of another
man. There were moments where he’d imagine Temperance as that woman. Together
they could find another man who they could trust to give them both what they
needed.
All this time he’d truly believed Temperance wasn’t
the threesome kind. There was no way he could share her with Richard, was
there? His cock thickened at the thought. Temperance was clearly attracted to
Richard, there was no doubt. Could this be what he’d been hoping for?
It had been some time since he’d allowed himself to
dream of a future with her.
When he actually thought about what he’d done to gain
her attention, Jay wanted to kick himself. He’d done everything—apart from
actually tell her he wanted her. On the night he took her virginity, he truly
believed their relationship was going to start over, and he would finally have
her.
She had woken up, and looked like she was going to
vomit.
Jay would have her as a friend rather than not have
her in his life.
“I love you, Temperance.”
She turned to face him, and stared back. “I love you,
too, Jay.”
Chapter Five
Saturday morning, Richard was going through his
morning emails, making sure he had everything ready for the O’Brian account.
His lawyer was coming by that morning to take care of the finer details of the
contract. Every now and then he glanced over toward Temperance’s desk wondering
when she would finally arrive.
He had arrived at work early to be ready for
Temperance’s arrival. It was only eight, so she had another hour to arrive to
work.
Only select parts of his company worked on a Saturday
as he believed a good work force meant you treated them well, and most
appreciated the weekend off.
The sound of the elevator door opening filled him with
anticipation. He’d thought long and hard about what Anna had said last night.
Sharing a woman was one of the few pleasures he
enjoyed. There was even times he’d hoped to enter into a ménage relationship. Most women hadn’t
wanted that kind of commitment, to be shared between two men. It was always fun
for some spice, but never something they wanted long term. With Jay, the
concept of sharing Temperance actually made him anticipate the next meeting
with both of them. He was good at getting what he wanted, and he was sure he’d
find a way of getting them both to agree that they didn’t find the arrangement
repugnant. Richard wasn’t gay, nor did he have any fantasies about being with a
man. He wasn’t attracted to Jay. He loved his women, and Temperance was filling
every single fantasy right now. Just the thought of seeing Temperance come
apart in Jay’s arms had him hard.
When Jay’s figure appeared in his doorway,
disappointment filled him but also intrigue. It would have been much better if
Temperance was here. He doubted Jay would turn down an opportunity to be with
her.
“Well, I have to say, I’m shocked to see you there.”
“Yeah, I get it, you didn’t want to see me.”
“I’d rather see Temperance. I take it she is coming in
to work.” Richard didn’t like the sudden thought that she would try to resign
from her position. He wouldn’t allow that. Richard wasn’t going to allow his
one chance of living out his desires to be taken from him.
“She is. I left early. She
