complemented his eyes, turning them to intense cobalt.
    As Alec stood in awe of all the beauty around him, images from his shower
    daydream the week before came flooding back. His cock ached as he imagined
    flipping Mel"s short dress up just a few inches and burying himself deep in her

    pussy with one long stroke. A flash, and then Mel was behind him, plastered
    against his back, watching over his shoulder as Jace knelt before him, sucking him
    off.
    Alec took a long pull of his drink to wet his parched throat. Then cleared his
    throat and tried to behave like everything was normal. “Wow, you guys look
    awesome. And you"re putting me to shame. I"ve been knee-deep in potting soil and
    fertilizer all day. I look like a peasant among royalty. I probably smell like one too.”
    He shoved his half-empty drink at Jace. “Take this. I gotta shower. Be right back.”
    Then he hotfooted it to the bathroom, trying to conceal the growing tent in his
    shorts.
    Alec completed his shower in record time but took an extra minute to shave
    and slap on some cologne. Hell, he wasn"t going to play the role of the ugly friend.
    He didn"t own a suit, though, so he made do, pulling on a pair of tan chinos and a
    white dress shirt he left untucked. He didn"t bother with socks or shoes.
    Heading to the door to rejoin his roommates, he paused when Jace and Melody
    burst into peals of laughter. He loved listening to them laugh like that. They were
    so uninhibited with each other. Straining against his bedroom door to hear more, he
    was rewarded with another round of giggles.
    “Well, as hot as we both look tonight, he"d have to be dead not to notice. I"m
    predicting a very interesting night for one of us,” Jace said. “Preferably me.”
    Wait, what?
    “Think again, twinkle toes. I was hoping I wasn"t being too obvious with the
    dress, you know.”
    “Oh, you mean the dress that has „horny and single, please take me" written all
    over it? No, I think it"s very subtle, honey.”
    “Silly boy, if it said that, you"d be wearing one too.”
    Again, they broke into laughter.

    Alec tried to quiet his suddenly erratic breathing so he didn"t miss anything. A
    few murmured words were spoken that he didn"t catch, then Mel"s voice. “But
    seriously, desperate times call for desperate measures, and subtle isn"t cutting it.
    We have to get serious, and may the best roommate win.”
    “What can I say? When you"re right, you"re right. So we turn the heat up a bit.
    No hard feelings no matter who he chooses, though. Pinky swear?”
    Alec froze. Okay, so maybe he hadn"t been imagining all their recent flirting.
    His gut churned a bit as he tried to take it all in.
    They obviously had a bet going, and he was the prize. Hurt warred with
    excitement. Although the three of them were really close, he always felt like he was
    just on the outskirts of their twosome. And here he was again, not quite the third
    musketeer. He hated that they had secrets they didn"t share with him.
    On the other hand, they both wanted him. Wasn"t that some fucking stellar
    news? If he put aside his initial hurt, he had to admit that he still wanted them too.
    Not the type to look a gift horse in the mouth, Alec came to a decision quickly.
    His roommates had no idea just how hot things were about to get.

    Melody"s eyes were glued to the bottle, her heart pounding as it spun round
    and round.
    It was kind of surreal how they"d gotten there. After a delicious dinner of
    perfectly seasoned shrimp and crisp Mandarin salad— touché, Jace —they had
    moved into the living room with their second round of cosmos for board-game time.
    While she and Jace had pored over the options in the closet, Alec had dropped an
    absolute bomb on them.
    “ How about truth or dare ?”
    Jace"s expression had been priceless, and she could only imagine what hers
    had looked like. They"d both been too stunned to answer, and the silence was
    deafening.
