    "You're so lucky. Why is it you always have all the fun while I'm left here to deal with the crap?"
    "If I recall correctly, Mike, you're the one who cornered me into this deal." At first Luke had been angry about Mike's underhandedness. But after some consideration, he'd wondered if it might be a gift in disguise. If he wanted it to be, that is. Problem was, he wasn't sure what he wanted.
    "Yes I did, and I'm proud of it. You can thank me later."
    "It'll be a cold day"
    "So, anyone promising? Any future wife-material?"
    "Why is it you're always trying to get me married?"
    "What can I say? Misery loves company"
    Mike was the happiest man Luke knew. He and Susan had fallen in love as college students and were still going strong. They were quite a pair. They fought hard and loved hard. Always with laughter blended in.
    "I've got enough misery thinking about how we lost in the playoffs"
    "Come on, you lost the bet fair and square. Now you're obligated to give this the `Luke Townsend try.' If ever you've been in a situation to find the right woman, this could be it."
    "Yeah, well, we'll see. I'm here-you should be glad"
    "No complaints, man. I just want you to take advantage of the situation. The woman of your dreams could be in the group."
    "I highly doubt there is a woman anywhere who could compete with my dreams. But I get the point. You and the family want me to settle down and act like a grown-up"
    "Oh, you've got the grown-up part down, but you have definite issues in staying with a relationship."
    Luke agreed, but relationships had never been his strong point.
    "I've never found anyone worth staying loyal to. I keep telling you guys to give it time."
    "Mom just worries about you staying single forever. She says you've been afraid of women ever since Crystal"
    "Oh please, don't start that again," Luke said, rolling his eyes.
    Early in his career, a beautiful woman had sucker punched him. He'd thought she was perfect. Instead she had turned out to be a conniving opportunist waiting to cash in on his sudden fame and fortune. He'd been ready to do the picket-fence thing, complete with a houseful of kids. Luckily, he'd figured her out in time. He'd lost fifteen thousand dollars on the ring and a whole lot of pride. Since then, trust and commitment needed to be earned.
    "Tell Mom I'm fine and the only attachment issues I have are to ESPN and golf. And the last thing I am is lonely. Where there's one, there's seven, and the way they dress is enough to make a man go blind."
    "You jerk."
    "Sucks to be me-what can I say?"
    "Anyone catching your attention?"
    "There are a few interesting ones, but it's too early. Tell you what, you'll be the first to know. Hey, I've got to run. The car is here and I'm taking two beauties to the Padres game."
    "Yeah, well, the space shuttle is here to fly me to the moon."
    "Catch you later."

    Luke was outnumbered and soon to be outmanned if he didn't watch his step. Jenny, the snuggler, was planted firmly at his hip. Wherever Luke went, Jenny followed, with puppy-dog eyes and clingy anus he couldn't seem to get away from. Several others surrounded the two of them, each of those women also vying for Luke's attention.
    Ashley was seated with Rachel and Liz, watching the nuances of the game unfold from their lounge chairs a safe distance away, across the pool.
    "Here comes trouble" Rachel pointed to the pool entrance.
    Sure enough, Tami sauntered right into the thick of the harem.
    "That woman has weapons and isn't afraid to use them," Ashley said.
    Dressed in her skimpy black bathing suit and sheer cover-up, Tami prowled over to Luke in her spikeheeled sandals. They looked better suited for a fashion show than a pool party. Standing before him, she slowly slid her cover-up off her shoulders and tossed it directly at him.
    "Want to take a dip?" she said in a low throaty voice. "I'm hot."
    One corner of Luke's mouth tilted up. Without looking,
