Devon rounded a bend in the path, planning to run up to the driveway and retrieve the waterproof flashlight she’d recalled she’d stashed in her glove compartment. She jogged up the hillside, grateful for the warmth her muscles and lingering adrenaline generated.

Harsh voices caught her off guard and she slowed.

“Why are you being such a dickhead?” Neil’s frustration sliced through the night. She couldn’t be sure, but she thought he might have shoved his lover, who appeared to be ignoring the aggravated man.

This time her tremor had nothing to do with the cold, unless it was the frost in Neil’s tone.

Guess he’d found James. She started to turn around and leave them to their privacy.

“You made love to Devon.” James sounded both admiring and wrecked if such a thing were possible.

The agony in his proclamation had her longing to wrap him in a hug though she was probably the last person he’d welcome comfort from. Torn, she couldn’t walk away yet she didn’t dare to intrude.

“I’ve fucked dozens of women while you watched. You never minded before. All of a sudden this is a problem?” Neil didn’t cut him any slack. “You know what I need. Hell, you’ve gotten off on sharing plenty before.”

“You’ve never looked at a woman the way you look at her. You’ve never fit with one of them like you were meant for each other.” James’s voice cracked.

Whoa. Devon couldn’t justify hiding in the shadows a moment longer. She emerged into the open meadow, approaching them as carefully as if they were an improperly braced structure. “How exactly does Neil look at me?”

They turned toward her with matching frowns.

“Like he looks at me.” James shook his head. “Looked at me. Like you’re everything to him. I never cared about playing around before because I could tell his exchanges with women were purely physical. This is the first time he’s really taken a lover. I guess I assumed it’d always be me he went home with at the end of the day.”

“I’m not trying to change that.” Devon’s heart ached. Because somewhere deep down she could admit she was lying. She wanted Neil. Tonight. Every night. Forever. She should have known whatever unconventional role she’d been playing was too good to be true.

“It’s too late. Has been since the very first day. When I found you on the curb, he’d already fallen. I could see it in his eyes.” James shrugged. “You didn’t do anything but be you. I want to be pissed, but I can’t. He loves you. And I can see why. You’re sweet, strong, funny, hardworking, sexy and kind. Just promise me you’ll treat him well. I won’t stand for him to be hurt.”

Neil interrupted. “James, what are you saying?”

“I’m going to grant your wish. I’ve only ever wanted you to be happy.” James bit his lip to still the quivering there.

“He wants you.” Devon had never been surer of anything in her life.

“No, he wants you.” James didn’t scrub the tear that ran down his cheek.
