they were a group wasn’t hard to come by. Now she knew how long they’d been together and how stable of a group they were. “Obviously, Andy has to be in on it as well. If I weren’t interested, I wouldn’t be here, but it would be a new experience for me.”
    “You’re handling a lunch date just fine.” Roman seemed reassured. “Andy isn’t the problem. He wants it, but everyone fears rejection a little.”
    She could relate to that. “Rejection is part of life. We have to risk a little pain for happiness.”
    “If you don’t like the idea, don’t say yes just because you don’t want to hurt our feelings. There’s no pressure really,” Fred said.
    The fact that three of them had tried a relationship with a woman and it failed made her a bit nervous. “I don’t feel pressure. It’s new, but if I said I hadn’t thought about you four, I’d be lying. It’s tempting, but if it doesn’t work out…we have to be grownups and work together afterward.”
    “That’s Andy’s hang up,” Lance said.
    “He’s right, but as long as we know that and remember it, I’d rather try and know than not try and wonder.” She couldn’t pass up the chance of sleeping with four men. Watching them together was another sexy perk.
    “That’s the only way to live life.” Roman sighed.
    “I do have on logistical question.” She couldn’t help her curiosity or detail-oriented nature. Accounting habits die hard.
    “What? There aren’t any secrets in this group,” Fred said.
    “I’m assuming it’s all together as far as the intimacy. Not paired off. That sounds so weird. I don’t know how to describe it.” She wanted to cover her face. Not that she was ashamed of wanting it, but it was outside her norm.
    For now, anyway.
    “We all share one big bed. It’s really two fused queens. Plenty of room. All in, unless someone isn’t in the mood or feeling well. No pressure but if you want to be in a couple, this isn’t the relationship for you.” Lance looked her in the eyes.
    “Good. Being in a couple never worked for me. Maybe, this will be a better fit.” She tried not to stare at the men. This afternoon would be hell, knowing the four hot men wanted her and tonight she’d have a real date with them.
    Her arousal was already building, and she had half a work day left. “Who’s going to tell Andy?” she asked.
    “Don’t worry about it. We will. He might check that you’re okay with it. As long as you don’t hesitate, he won’t say no.” Lance grinned.
    He and Andy had been together since high school. Even if it was just sexual discovery and screwing around, she envied that long attachment. How deep it must be! How strong to allow others to be added, yet there was no ego or competition among them. The chemistry was palpable, and they weren’t even touching each other. Just having a casual lunch. They could just be friends, but she knew it was much deeper. She might fit in there. Part of her really hoped she did. A tiny part of her worried about the unusual set up, but any sane person would.
    “No problem. I can’t wait. Thanks for lunch,” she said.
    “Any time. We should head back before Andy texts.” Roman chuckled. The group got up. It seemed so natural and normal. They were actually talking about group sex and a relationship as if it was their favorite TV show. Crystal was impressed.

    The guys had told Andy about the plan after lunch, but Fred was still trying to convince Andy it wasn’t too fast as they prepared dinner that night.
    “Couldn’t even wait one day,” Andy grumbled.
    “She was curious and interested. Want to put her off and make her second guess things?” Fred pinched Andy’s butt as the confused man bent over to retrieve fresh bread from the double oven.
    “Cool it. We’re not going to pressure her. Come on, give Roman and me some room.” Andy shut the oven and glared at Fred.
    Roman sautéed shrimp and the sauce for it as Lance kept an
