shirt.
Fuck.
Hell, she’d do him. In a heartbeat. How the hell could she blame Scott for falling for him?
“It’s okay,” she finally said, realizing the men were waiting on her to speak again. “It’s not your fault. It’s just the circumstances.”
She also realized Keith was not a man to mince words. When they sat, he immediately waded right into the difficult topic.
“Scott and I talked a lot this weekend. About the situation. I told him before anything else happened, I wanted to meet with you first.”
“He told me.”
“Are you really okay with Scott being poly with me?”
She frowned. “I don’t understand the question. Poly?”
“Well, you’re Scott’s wife. You’re his primary partner. For now, until we decide if we want to take things further, I’m only his secondary partner.”
Now she was confused. “Can you explain exactly what you have in mind?”
“Scott and I will get tested. I know he said he’s been monogamous with you, but I prefer to do it. I am, too. I would like to ask for you to get tested as well, just to level the playing field. I will only have Scott as my partner. Scott will have you and me. And from what Scott said, right now he’s your only partner. But if you decide to date and meet someone, they’d need to get tested, too, and promise to stay monogamous to you.”
She had to digest that. “You’re okay with him sleeping with me?” Yes, Sunday evening had been a little bit of a revenge fuck on her part, but she hadn’t anticipated this.
“Yes. If he was to try to sleep with another guy, no, I wouldn’t be okay with it. But he’s your husband.”
“For now.”
“I’m not in a hurry to go rushing that,” Keith said. “I’m a realist. I’d rather, if you’re okay with it, that Scott and I take our time and get to know each other. He told me he promised you he wouldn’t divorce you unless he met someone he could love at least as much as you, and I plan on honoring that commitment, too.”
Okay, so he earned more points for that, too. “Just to make sure I’m hearing you right, you’re okay with Scott still sleeping with me?” A couple of romance book fantasies flittered through her brain and she shoved them out of her mind.
“Absolutely.”
By the end of dinner, she grudgingly had to admit she was coming to like Keith even though she resented the situation.
Scott hadn’t made a bad choice.
After Keith left a little before eleven, Scott turned to her. “Do you want to talk?”
“No, I’d rather do something else.” She grabbed his hand and led him down the hall toward their bedroom. “Guess what, buddy? You’re getting laid.”
“I am?”
“You’re the one who brought a hot guy home. I get to reap the rewards of that, such as they are.” She glanced at him. “One of my conditions is if I want sex, I get it.”
He nodded. “Okay.”
“Good.” She started stripping. “Then get naked.”

Keith couldn’t focus on work. It’d been a week and a half since his talk with Noel, and poor Scott had reported Noel was riding him like a dude ranch pony nearly every night.
The sadist in him reveled in that, but he realized what it meant. She was understandably anxious about what was going on and this was her way of dealing. He didn’t begrudge her that at all. Especially not when she had given them carte blanche to pursue a relationship together.
He’d stopped by the doctor’s office at lunch time and received his test results. He knew Scott would be getting his back that afternoon.
Negative, of course, across the board.
That meant that night they’d be crossing the final line.
He struggled to rein in his impatient cock. The last thing he needed was to walk around the marina with a bulge in his shorts. Finally, he locked himself in the head of the yacht he was currently working on and rubbed one out just to relieve the pressure.
He knew under the circumstances that getting it up a second time later wouldn’t
