"Why are you looking at me like that?" Brian asked her, much more alert than he’d been a few moments before

"Like what?"

"Like you have a bad taste in your ether in confusion "And why do lare at Trey "Did you kiss ain?

Trey chuckled uneasily "Of course not" He tossed a pen and pad of paper onto the bed and fled the room The door closed behind him securely He hadn’t even bothered to take his clothes with him

Brian looked at Myrna "He kissed o kick his ass now Excusefree of her body Myrna wrapped her aro" She nuzzled her face against his neck She could never re this e that someone else loved Brian make her want him for herself even more?

"He knows better"

"Are you and TreyPlease say no Please Brian stopped trying to pul away and went entirely stil"I’m not sure how to answer that question"

"Are you lovers?"

He hesitated for far too long Myrna felt sick to her stomach Not because it was Trey that Brian shared an intimate relationship with, but because she and Brian weren’t as exclusive as she had led herself to believe

"I know I’ you this" He took a deep breath and avoided her gaze when he said, "Trey and I experih school?" she said breathlessly

"Yeah It was only once" He squeezed his eyes shut "Okay, twice I fked hiot it out of our systeain" He buried his face in her neck "I disgust you now, don’t I? I should never have told you"

"I’usted," she whispered Relieved Yes, that’s what she was feeling And happy that he trusted her enough to tel her so that personal

He lifted his head to look at her, his eyes ith surprise "You’re not?"

"No It’s fine It’s al in the past Right?"

"Yeah, of course I don’t even like to think about it" He stared into her eyes for a long moment and then pressed his lips to hers "I can’t believe you’re cool with this You’re too good to be true"

He showed his appreciation with deep, al -encoed his attention, knowing that even though Brian el over his brief attraction to Trey, Trey was in no way ready to give up on Brian
