are workaholics, so when you average out how long we’ll actually be together in the same room, it’ll probably be around ten minutes.”
    She laughed, even though she recognized the truth in his joke. “That’s a good point.”
    He stepped closer. She didn’t seek to move away. Michael reached for her and tipped her face up to his with a single finger under her chin. “You’re beautiful.”
    He kissed her once more. This time the action was less exploration, more conquering. Like Harrison, Michael had a possessive, domineering edge. Both men were leaders, used to being in charge, obeyed. She suspected they’d expect the same response in bed.
    More’s the pity for them. She didn’t bend to any man’s will.
    She ran her hand along Michael’s chest, letting her fingers drift lower. Michael broke off the kiss, challenge written on his face. He was waiting to see how far she’d go.
    She almost took him up on the dare before reality crashed on her head. What was she doing? She’d had sex with Harrison in his office yesterday. Now only a day later, she was trying to seduce his best friend.
    “I can’t do this. I can’t be with you. Harrison and I just…”
    Michael waited only a moment, giving her a chance to fill in the blank. When it was obvious she wouldn’t finish, he said, “Had sex yesterday.”
    “He told you?”
    Michael gave her a sweet smile. “We’re hoping to embark on a long-term relationship with you. That can’t begin with secrets or lies.”
    Michael and Harrison seemed to have a far better grasp on the mechanics of a threesome. To her, this felt a hell of a lot like cheating. Didn’t that mean it was wrong?
    Michael ran his finger along her forehead. “You’re scowling. Tell me what’s bothering you.”
    “I don’t want to hurt Harrison.”
    Michael smiled and kissed her on the cheek. “We’re in this together, the three of us.”
    She wished it were that easy.
    “You agreed to a month. Have you changed your mind about that?”
    Alexis understood what was at stake for Harrison, for her. Even for Michael. “What about my job if this doesn’t work out?”
    Now it was his turn to frown. “It’s not in danger, Alexis. I would never be so petty. You’re the best doctor on my staff. The truth is, I’m taking a chance as well. Losing you would be a devastating blow to this hospital. But I’m only a man. And I’m afraid my willpower is gone.”
    “I wouldn’t leave my job.”
    “And you won’t have to.”
    She blew out a long breath. Strangely, in the face of Michael and Harrison’s honesty, their trust, she felt as if she owed it to all of them to try. Because, like Michael, she was tired of denying some hard truths as well. “I don’t know how this trinity thing works.”
    “Then let me show you.” Michael pushed her back until her legs hit the edge of the hospital bed. He continued to apply pressure, guiding her down onto the mattress.
    Alexis felt her heart pick up its pace, racing with fear of being caught while anticipating what Michael would do next. So much for her lack of submissiveness. There was something about Michael that felt almost dangerous. It was heady and horny, a huge turn-on.
    He didn’t bother with formalities or foreplay. Instead, he lifted her skirt and pulled her panties aside. “Open your legs.”
    She parted her knees and then gasped when Michael pressed two fingers inside her. It didn’t hurt. If she was perfectly honest with herself, she had been wet since he’d pushed her into the room. Her hips began to move in time with his thrusting fingers, and suddenly she wished he’d take off his pants and fuck her properly. “You’re going to take us both, Alexis. Every night, you’ll be in our bed. Ours.”
    She shook her head, partly in denial—her feminist side rearing its head—and partly in fear—because she was starting to worry he was right.
    At least for the next month.
    “Put your feet on the edge of the bed. I want your legs wider
