Izzy sat up, pulling one of the pillows in front of her “You’ve got to realize I’m way too old for you”

“You’re wrong” Hoere he and Clay going to convince her that her age didn’t matter?

“Please, let me finish This was only supposed to be for fun and pleasure, not forever You’re wonderful men I couldn’t ask for better But you can’t waste your life on soe”

“Waste our life on you?” He grabbed her hand, wanting to help her to let go of her doubts “Izzy, you can’t say you don’t have feelings for us We can see it in your eyes”

Jay cupped her chin “We can tell it in the way you make love to us”

She shook her head “I shouldn’t have let this go so far I’uys so let ain I will not allow you to waste your life on me”

Frustration exploded inside him “That doesn’t make any sense, Izzy You mean the world to us—to me and Jay I know this is fast, but that doesn’t make it any less real I am in love with you”

“And so am I,” Jay said firmly “Tell us the truth Do you love us or not?”

She closed her eyes and sighed “Whether I do or don’t doesn’t change the facts We have to end this now Please, let et up I want to take a shower”

“Okay, sweetheart” If he and Jay pushed her noould likely upset her even hts “But we’re not ending anything We have more to talk about”

She looked down at her hands, without a doubt to avoid his and Jay’s eyes “I’e my mind”

“I just can’t believe that, Izzy” He knew that they had their work cut out for them to turn her around, but he would do whatever it took to make sure she did

Jay had the sao ahead, sweetheart” His brother stood, holding out his hand to help her off the bed “We can talk after”

She swung her legs off thewith unshed tears Why is she holding back? What else is she afraid of? He didn’t believe it was just about their age difference, which didn’tto him and Jay

When she closed the door to the en suite, he looked at his brother “What can we do?”
