realized unless Daphne was asleep or comatose, there was no way in hell she couldn’t have heard them.
He rolled off Alan and went to clean up before returning to the bed with a washcloth for Alan. With a little more time to ponder the situation, he realized he couldn’t face her right away. Damn sure didn’t want to look across the breakfast table to see a knowing smile. Even a smile as cute as hers, when you could coax a smile out of her.
Alan frowned. “Uh oh. What’s that look for?”
“I’d better go,” he mumbled as he reached for his clothes.
Alan touched his hand. “Why?”
“Give me some time with this, please?”
Maybe Alan was just happy to have won this battle. He kissed Jerald before smoothing his hair back. “Maybe you’ll feel more comfortable staying tomorrow night.” A playful smile crossed his features. “Or maybe I’ll fuck you cross-eyed and you’ll fall asleep after and then it won’t matter.”
Jerald let his forehead rest against Alan’s for a moment. “Thank you for understanding.”
Alan kissed him one more time. “Please be careful driving home.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Don’t forget I’ve got two charters tomorrow.” Jerald dressed and left after one last kiss.
Alan lay there in bed for a few minutes. He hadn’t counted on Jerald going through with anything tonight.
Progress. Give and take. Begging him to spend the night would have pushed Jerald into an argument. Maybe by tomorrow night he’d have himself talked into staying.

From her room just on the other side of the wall from the master bedroom, Daphne listened to the men as they made love. Part of her envied them, how good they sounded together. Part of her wanted to join them. Then a few minutes after the noises ended, she heard the front door open and shut, followed by the sound of a car starting and leaving.
She couldn’t sleep. Why would Jerald leave? It was only nine o’clock.
She decided to get a glass of water and a snack. Alan must have heard her because a few minutes later he walked out to the kitchen.
“I’m sorry. Did I wake you?” she asked.
He smiled. “No. I couldn’t sleep.”
“Neither could I.”
“Want to watch a movie with me? I’ll make popcorn.”
She couldn’t refuse that offer.
They snuggled on the couch together. She loved the way he smelled, between his cologne and clothes detergent and even a hint of musky after-sex scent she didn’t want to contemplate, because the thought of what he’d been doing a little earlier made her horny.
“Why did Jerald leave?” she asked as a distraction more than anything.
He obviously didn’t want to answer at first. “He decided to put off moving in for a while. He’s got to work tomorrow.”
“Sorry.”
“Crap, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that.”
“No, that’s okay. It’s the truth.” She glanced at Alan. “He’s not comfortable with me here, is he?”
He snugged her tighter. “He’s coming around.”
She bit her tongue to keep the bad pun in her mouth. “I should be able to leave in a few days.”
“Let’s not talk about that tonight.” He pointed at the TV. “I want to enjoy this. I got laid, I’ve got a cute girl to cuddle with, and life’s good.”
She laughed and nearly choked on her popcorn. “I wasn’t going to say anything about that.”
“What, cuddling with a cute girl?”
She laughed again. “The getting laid part.”
“Nothing to be ashamed of. Why, it didn’t bother you, did it?”
“You want the truth?”
“Yes.”
She looked into his eyes. “It sounded like you two had a lot of fun. I wish I could have watched.”
He grinned and nuzzled her nose. “Well, sugar, maybe we can arrange that one day.”
He had to be joking, teasing her, but the thought dampened her panties as she settled in without further comment to watch the movie.
Later, after she went to bed, she lay there and played the sounds of the men’s sex over in her
