I perked up. “Yeah, I’m super excited. I never thought something like this would happen to me. I thought I was lucky just to get this internship.”

“Well, you’ve done a lot of really great work. The guys and I all love you.”

My heart stuttered in my chest as I thought of Jayce. We hadn’t said the L word yet. Kell winced.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to—”

“No, it’s okay. I know what you meant.”

“You work well with the rest of the crew, too. You’d be a great asset to our team.”

“I work well with everyone except for Neil, you mean.”

He shook his head. “No, even with him you’ve managed to keep it together. Aside from that one public kiss, no one else has seen anything unprofessional from the two of you. It’s impressive, actually, considering the situation you’re in.”

“Yeah, a terrible situation. People thought I was with Neil and now they’re probably going to find out I’m with Jayce. I’m going to get the worst reputation.”

“I don’t know if I’d say it’s all bad.” Kell gave me a grin. “After all, you’ve got two attractive guys lusting after you. Although with that producer it’s more like pining. Everyone can see the looks he’s been giving you. Like a lost little puppy. It would be cute if it wasn’t so sad.”

“Neil couldn’t make time for me.” I shrugged. “He told me I was right to break it off. If he’s still hung up on me, he only has himself to blame.”

“Maybe you’re being too hard on him,” Kell suggested. “You really liked this guy, didn’t you?”

I leaned back on the sofa cushions and dropped my head. “I did. We got to know each other pretty well online. There’s a real chemistry between us. But that was before. We’re much better off as friends. Besides, I’m with Jayce now. I just wish…” I blew out a breath. “I wish things hadn’t ended so soon.”

Kell gave me a probing look.

“What?”

Kell considered me for a moment, then gave me a small smirk. “Who says they have to?”

I rolled my eyes and snickered, thinking Kell was joking, but he looked dead serious. My eyebrows drew down into a frown.

“Wait. Are you kidding me? Are you actually telling me to cheat on Jayce?”

“Not at all. It’s not cheating if they both know about it. If they agree to share one last time.”

My mouth popped open. “That’s crazy.”

“It’s the twenty-first century. There’s no reason love triangles need to end in heartache for either party.”

I let out a huff of disbelief. “I could never do something like that.”

Kell quirked an eyebrow. “Oh, no? Are you telling me you’ve never even thought about it?”

I squirmed and fought down a flush. “That’s not the point. The two of them would never go for it.”

“How do you know if you don’t ask?”

I shook my head. “I could never ask for something like that from either of them.”

“Jayce is a rock star. Trust me. He’s done way crazier shit than a threesome.”

“Stop! Just stop. I don’t think I even want to know.”

Kell patted my shoulder and stood up from the sofa. “It’s your decision. But if you think you have unfinished business with Neil, if you want to be with him one last time… Think about it at least.”

I remembered that drinking game we’d played at the club. Jayce had been in a ménage before. Had it been with two girls, or had he shared a girl with another man? He clearly didn’t object to the idea of three people sharing a bed.
