“Sure, I’ll join you” I s too, soor whatever”

“Sure Sounds fun”

“Great Now, turn around I’ you so badly all day”

I turned around like he asked and we had a sex As I lay in bed, and with Ian’s ar about Andrew and the things he said about hi, just like I used to when I was a child I was slipping back into that world of loneliness and it scaredto become emotionally withdrawn I wanted more out of this relationship I wanted him to love me like I loved him I needed him to want more from me than just sex A tear fell from my eye as I slowly closed the Ian’s friends out tonight for dinner and dancing I was still amazed that Ian wanted me to join them I’d been emotionally withdrawn the past couple of days and I could tell Ian sensed it He askeds with hiument, and I wasn’t up for that yet We still had sex every day, sometimes twice, which made it harder on me because of the emotional attachment Every day I spent with Ian, I fell deeper and deeper in love with him

“They’re here,” Ian said as he knocked on my door

“Okay, I’ll be down in a second”

I looked at myself one last time in the mirror and walked down the stairs with a smile

“Rory, I would like you to meet Connor and Ellery Black”

Holy shit He was hot

“Connor and Ellery, this is uest Nice He couldn’t introduce uest

Connor held out his hand and, with a smile, he told me how nice it was to ed She was aether We climbed in the back of Ian’s limo and headed to the restaurant Ellery and I chatted while Connor and Ian were discussing business Connor was interested in a piece of property that he said would be perfect for an art gallery

“Do the two of you have any children?” I asked her

“We have a daughter who’s six months old Her name is Julia”

I smiled as Ellery pulled out her phone and showed me pictures of her She was adorable and I couldn’t help but be a little envious When we arrived at the restaurant, Connor helped Ellery out of the limo and Ian just stood there That was odd because he always helped e look and then looked at me The two of them walked hand in hand inside the restaurant while Ian walked next to me Once ere promptly seated, I ordered a cosmopolitan The four of us talked and enjoyed a nice dinner I excused myself, and Ellery followed ht, Rory?” she asked as she touched up her lipstick

“Yeah, I’uy”

“Pretty special assle,” I accidentally let slip out

“I’ve known Ian for a couple of years, and you’re the first woht to dinner” She smiled

“Really?”

“Really”

“He reminds me a lot of how Connor used to be e first olfing, and I thinkJulia can coreat time”

“Julia’s here?”

“She’s back at the hotel with our manny, Mason”

“I would love to meet her” I smiled

Ellery smiled back and ent back to our table The four of us talked a bit ht We dropped Connor and Ellery off at their hotel
