    “I’ve known him a long time, Kay. He’s never been jealous, so
    that tells me he does have feelings for you. You have to decide how
    you feel about him.”
    “Travis, I don’t want to get married again. You of all people know
    what went down with my divorce. Why can’t I just have a relationship
    with him and occasionally ask you to join us in bed?”
    “It works for me, but with you, Stuart seems…obsessed.”
    “I suppose it doesn’t matter. Being with you today proved his
    point and mine. I want the freedom to fuck both of you. I’ll take my
    loss of his touch, but I’ll cherish how you made me come this
    afternoon.”
    “At your service, ma’am, whenever you need the release.”
    “As long as we’re away from the lodge and Stuart doesn’t find
    out. I just don’t want to live with his ‘I told you so’ look for the rest of my time there.”
    “I know you’ll move on after the contract, and I understand why,
    but I am enjoying having you in the kitchen with me.”
    “Me, too, I like my job. It’s a shame we couldn’t just find a happy
    medium for all three of us.”
    “With time, my dear, sometimes things change. Besides, you want
    Stuart as your mate. And you just want the freedom to invite me to
    join in occasionally.” He stared at me with a strange smile.
    “What?”
    “Just a curiosity, what if Stuart gives you a counteroffer?”
    “Such as?”
    “Well, if he decides to let you enjoy him and another man, what
    would you say to him asking another woman to join you?”
    “You’re a troublemaker, Travis, and enjoying this too much. And
    you know the answer. I’ve had my experiences with women. I enjoy
    women, but I don’t get the same sexual turn-on as I do with men.
    Besides, some women get jealous, and that’s what I’m trying to avoid.
    If Stuart asks another woman, most likely she’ll think she should get
    all his attention. I’m into cocks, fucking and sucking them. Women,

    even with toys, just don’t have the same just effect for me. Call me
    indelicate, but if he offered a woman with a cock, I might be
    interested!”
    Travis burst out laughing. “Been there, done that, as you would
    say. I think if he knew in advance the woman had both sets of
    equipment, he’d make an informed decision. But I wouldn’t spring it
    on him as a surprise.”
    “I suppose that’s another issue not to mention to Stuart. But can I
    ask you a question?”
    “We’ve always been blunt, go ahead.”
    “When you and Stuart used to share women, did you share each
    other too?”
    “No. We’ve had a third man who serviced us once, but Stuart and
    I are both into women. We did better when we shared just one woman
    and gave her our attention.”
    “So I guess we just aren’t meant to be a threesome.”
    “Not just yet, but you never know with time.”

    Chapter Ten

    Kay knew come October the fishing would dwindle and she’d get
    her afternoons back after hunting season closed at the first of the year, but the difference left her exhausted in the evenings. Which was a
    good thing, she decided. It kept her from having too much time to
    think about Stuart Drake. After her last fiasco of inviting herself to
    see the dogs practice and having him ignore her, she’d gone to town
    and gotten a library card. Now, when she had spare time she spent it
    in the cool room filled with books. The short drive relaxed her, and
    she especially enjoyed reading the out-of-town newspapers.
    The head librarian, Grace, was rapidly becoming a friend. About
    her age, she’d been born and raised in the Wilmington area, coming
    home after college with a broken heart. The following year, she’d
    taken the job and hadn’t looked back. While Grace didn’t seem to
    date or at least tell Kay about her dates, they enjoyed lunches together on Mondays when Kay was in town. Occasionally they’d meet for a
    movie or to shop in the early evenings. Tentative still, Kay
