S ebastian felt Lucy move. Still half asleep, he heard her go into the bathroom and thought he should get up and take her home. Lying with his eyes shut, he enjoyed the last few minutes of being comfortable and warm.

Then he felt her climb back into bed between him and Jack. She snuggled into his chest and sighed, her body relaxed. With a self-satisfied grin, he knew there was no need to get out of bed—Lucy had decided to stay.

It felt natural to have her in bed with him and Jack—she was perfect for them both.

He glanced across at a sleeping Jack. He meant more to Sebastian than even Jack realized.

He loved him dearly. He was his rock, the person who would always be there for Sebastian.

And now here was Lucy. His heart beat faster when he thought of her, when he thought of the two of them, the two of them together.

Lucy was so desirable, so different to Jack and yet so similar, and just as exciting.

She was funny, clever, and he was falling for her fast. He thought it was because of the way she reacted to them both—there was no favoritism.

She treated them both exactly the same way.

And the way she let them make love to her was such a turn-on.

Ever the realist, Sebastian knew Lucy was closer to Jack and he could easily understand that.

Jack was more open than he was. Jack was so easy to love.

What you saw was what you got—there was nothing hidden in Jack.

But Sebastian had the feeling that Lucy liked him as much.

She seemed to react to him the same as she would to Jack. At least, he hoped so.

He sighed and allowed himself to think long-term, to think of a future that held both Jack and Lucy. That future would be the most wonderful thing in his life. With that thought in mind, he closed his eyes and slept.
