recognize her beauty only added to her appeal. She might have faults, but vanity wasn’t one of them.
    She exited her practical little sedan with the grace of a queen, but Jason noted she fumbled with the straps of her purse. Nerves, maybe? He instantly felt better about asking her to come out to the house. If she were nervous, then this wasn’t something she did every day. He never thought she did. She wasn’t the type to hop into bed with men she hardly knew, despite the way she’d given herself to them in the back of the town car. Even then, he sensed her reserve, but they’d given her little choice. He was determined that today, the choice would be hers.
    Jason hung back as Jeff welcomed their guest. Over the years, he’d become good at observing players and using the knowledge he gained to find their weakness. His talent extended to the world outside baseball too, so he was glad for the time to watch Megan. She was definitely nervous, but she tried hard to hide it as Jeff steered her toward the kitchen door.
    “Hi. Glad you could come,” Jason said when she stopped in front of him.
    “Thanks for the invitation.” Her eyes met his, strong and unwavering even though her hand trembled when their palms touched. He tugged her hand gently and pulled her closer, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek.
    They settled at the big, scarred kitchen table. Jeff filled tall glasses with iced tea and brought them to the table. “Thanks,” she said, wrapping her fingers around her glass as if searching for something solid to hang onto.
    “There’s no need to be nervous, Megan. Nothing will happen unless you want it to,” Jason assured her.
    “I don’t even know what, exactly, we’re talking about here,” she said. “I…well – ”
    “Megan,” Jeff interrupted, “we invited you out to see our home, see the way we live. Jason and I are both attracted to you. You’re smart, you’re caring, and kind. You’re beautiful, and sexy, and we want to get to know you better, and we’d like for you to get to know us too.”
    Jeff’s compliments made her blush and she became more nervous than before, if that was possible. She wasn’t used to being told she was beautiful. Jason silently vowed to change that. “Don’t let Jeff scare you. We don’t want to pressure you into anything. Let’s sit here and talk. Maybe later you’ll let us show you the house, and the property. “
    “Look, I don’t have much time. I have to work later today, and I know you have a game, so can you just tell me what you have in mind?”
    Jason glanced at Jeff, noted the approving smile, then turned back to Megan. “Okay. We’d like you to stay with us for a while. A week for starters – longer if you like the arrangement.”
    “Stay with you?” She waggled a finger between them. “You don’t mean as your housekeeper, do you?”
    “No,” Jeff replied. “We want you in our bed. We want to have sex with you every way two men and a woman can have it, that is, without the men…you know.”
    Megan clutched her tea glass in a white-knuckled grip, but she didn’t get up and run. “After the way you responded to us the other night, well, we thought you might be interested,” Jason added. Two red blotches dotted her cheekbones and the rest of her face turned a dark crimson. Jason shifted in his seat, wondering if her skin turned that shade when she came. It had been too dark in the car the other night to see clearly. Next time, they’d have the lights on.
    “Would it be both of you, together?”
    “Usually, but not always. It might be one on one sometimes, or maybe one would just watch. It depends. The decision would be yours, but we’ve always worked well as a team, and we’d like to stay that way,” Jason said. “If you’re home alone with one of us, then there isn’t any reason you can’t go one on one.”
    “You’ve done this before.”
    “Some,” Jeff said. “But we’ve never had a long-term relationship, and that’s
