depended on Roan"s reaction and Jake"s own courage.
    Even more depended on Em. He hit the speed dial on his cell phone.
    The sleepy, silky voice he loved answered. “Are you hurrying home to me, love?
    "Cause man have I got a big thing waiting for you.”
    Shit, big was no joke. Blood rushed to Jake"s groin, and he was instantly hard.
    The man was sex on a stick. He still couldn"t believe he"d walked into that hotel bar just when Roan had been hiding out from his hounds. “Hi, darling. Don"t let that big thing go to sleep before I get there. I"m about twenty minutes away.”
    He heard a lascivious chuckle. “No chance of sleep. I"m keeping it warm for you.”

    Jake moaned on purpose while Roan laughed.
    “Before I have to pull over and jerk off, let me tell you what just happened.”
    “What? Something sexy, I hope.”
    “One-track mind. Yes, potentially sexy. Emmaline is taking you and me to the Belden Award dinner on Friday and…wait for it…she"s coming home to spend the weekend with us.”
    “No shit! Does she know who „us" is?”
    “Well, she knows you"re a man, if that"s what you mean.”
    “Jesus, finally. How did this all happen?”
    “I"ll tell you all the details when I get home.”
    “No, baby, you"re not going to be doing any talking when you get home, "cause your mouth will be full. So tell me now.”
    Jake laughed. “Yeah, you"re right. Well, short version, she started insisting that I had to come to the awards dinner and bring my girlfriend.”
    “Just call me Angelina.”
    “So I figured, what the hell? I might as well tell her.”
    “About time, love.”
    “I know.” It had been a huge deal between him and Roan, but he just hadn"t been able to get up the nerve to introduce his lover to his boss. For him it had been the final statement. Tell her, and he"d have to admit he was gay. It was easy to do with everyone else. His parents had said they"d already known he was bisexual, and women hadn"t really done it for him for a couple of years when he met Roan. It had been easy giving up women. All women but one.
    Roan"s purr broke into his reverie. “Awfully quiet, love.”
    “Sorry. Just thinking. Is it my wishful imagination that she might want more than a professional partnership with me?”
    “Can"t say for sure, love. But when I meet her I should get some insight.”

    “You know it"s up to you, right, baby? Just because I think you"ll love her doesn"t mean it"s true. I know not many women do it for you.”
    “Well, it"s some up to me and more up to her.”
    “I can"t tell you what it means to me that you"re open to this. I was pretty shitty about Alexandra.”
    Roan chuckled, and the sound shivered right up Jake"s spine. “I loved that my fucking Alex made you green, baby, but I didn"t love her. I want you to have what you love.”
    “But I feel the same way about you. Nothing gets in the way of us no matter what.”
    Roan was quiet.
    “Baby?”
    Jake heard the tightness in his lover"s voice. “That means everything to me, Jake.” There was a sigh. “But she still turns you on, right?”
    Jake laughed. “Like a raging horndog.”
    “Then the chances are damned good I"ll feel the same way. Now, get home here, baby, and let me show you where you can put that horn.”
    Oh Jesus, his cock was pressing out of his jeans as his foot slammed the accelerator.

    Jeez, she was not good with mascara. All thumbs. She wiped a little from her eyelid and considered the effect in the bathroom mirror. Okay, worth it. Her eyes looked huge. Pretty nice cleavage on the new dress too. She laughed, and it sounded suspiciously like a giggle. There were a few colleagues who might be surprised she had breasts, and she kind of hoped Jake was a little surprised too. She took a deep, cleansing breath. Had to quit thinking like that. Gay was gay.
    She turned off the bathroom light, grabbed up her weekend bag, and headed
