Chapter 25

Reagan was in the shohen she heard voices in the apartment Ethan was hoave an unexpected lurch and started to race The erotic ih herEthan’s ck in Trey’s hand In his mouth She didn’t knohether to be aroused or jealous Admittedly, she was a little of both And a bit put off by the fact that she’d never be enough to keep Trey happy in the bedroo as he loved only her, she’d be able to deal with it Maybe

The bathroom door opened She peeked out of the shower curtain and was blessed with Trey’s orneriest smile "Can I come in?"

"We need to talk," she said Ground rules They needed ground rules Her heart thudded even harder when Trey tilted his head and he did that thing he did when he wanted so That irresistible, ornery-assed, tell-me-no-if-you-dare look

"Talk?"

"Yes, talk"

"Okay," he agreed and entered the bathrooerous, and well-fucked The bastard "Room in there for three?"

"We’re going to talk first"

Ethan’s nose crinkled and he an didn’t miss the familiar way Ethan stroked Trey’s hip before he shut the door behind him Trey closed the toilet seat lid and sat on its surface

"Okay, talk," he said "But make it quick You’re naked and wet I can’t be expected to concentrate on words"

Reagan’s belly quivered with nerves What if they couldn’t o? What if he ended up feeling so for Ethan and she had to pretend like she was okay with that?

"How often do you think you’ll need to be with Ethan?" she forced herself to ask and noticed she’d been rubbing soap over one arm for several minutes

"Is this about the rules?" Trey asked

"I think we need to lay so"

"Can we try no rules, Reagan?"

She peeked out of the curtain to look at him "No rules? There have to be some rules I know you need a man in your life to fulfill you sexually, but I’m not prepared to let you sleep with anyone you choose What’s the point of being in a relationship if you’re not willing to offer me some sort of commitment?" There She’d said it Now the ball was in his court

He sighed and scrubbed his face with both hands "I love you You know that, right?"

"I think so"

He looked up at her, his gaze intense Not at all like Trey’s usual devil-an’s knees eak

"I love you," he said "I have never said that to a woman in my life Not in a romantic capacity"
