“Your bra is on inside out.” “Crap.” She took if off and tossed it in the dirty hamper. There was no way she’d wear her new lacy bra when she welded anyway. “Oh, my God. You had sex with Parker.” Damn . Dakota would find out anyway if she didn’t tell. The woman could see through steel. “So?” Her friend practically jumped up and down. “Holy shit. You’ve slept with both men in less than a week when you haven’t had sex in years. Was this experience fantastic, too?” She couldn’t control her excitement any longer. “Amazing. Wonderful. Powerful. One minute I had my samples in my hand ready to leave, and the next he removes them from me, slams me against the wall and fucks me.” “Ahhhh. Why can’t I be so lucky?” She paced in front of the bed. “I pictured Logan to be the wild type. Parker is softer and more artsy.” “I know. Right? I always thought Parker only kind of wanted me, but he never made any moves, so I figured he was a lost cause. I think once he found out what Logan and I had, he wanted in.” Her grin got wider. “Have they talked to you about sharing?” Wouldn’t that be nice? “Not specifically, but I figured that’s what they want.” Dakota edged back to the bed. “Do you?” “Want to share? Hell yes, though it kind of scares me. What if one man gets jealous?” Her friend leaned back on her elbows and crossed her feet. “Have you ever had two men at once?” “Are you kidding? Don’t you think I would have told you? We don’t have any secrets.” At least she hoped Dakota hadn’t kept something as important as a ménage from her. “You haven’t, have you?” “The only two men I’d even considered doing that with are your two brothers. Trust me, that means I’ll never be in a ménage relationship.” The image of her two brothers having sex wasn’t something she wanted to think about. “Yuck.” Dakota laughed as she popped off the bed. “I know you have taxes to do, that chandelier for the Fitzpatricks, and the set design for your new lover. Not to mention the staircase for your other lover. I’ll let you get to work.” She winked and walked out. God, she so needed about ten more hours in the day. No sooner had she changed than her cell rang. Her pulse raced, praying it was either Logan or Parker. She retrieved her cell from her good jeans pocket. It was her cousin April. “Hey, girl. What’s up?” “I dropped the ball.” “On what?” She hesitated. “Randy had this great idea about what to get Mom for her birthday. You know how she loves to garden?” Jade always thought Aunt Veronica had the best smelling flowers in the state. “Absolutely.” “Randy suggested I get her a shovel and have you put your magic welding stamp on it.” She searched her mind for the date of her aunt’s birthday, praying it was months from now. “What exactly are you looking for?” “I have a picture of what I want. Can I come over and show you?” She’d never turn down sweet April. “Absolutely. Come in through the back. I’ll be in my shop.” Once she got too tired to pound the anvil, she’d do the taxes. Tomorrow, she’d work on the set and then move on to the staircase. She didn’t even want to think about the month-end bookkeeping that she’d have to do in a week. April would arrive in less than fifteen minutes, so Jade rushed downstairs and fired up the furnace. Dakota’s dad had trained both her and his daughter. She wished her assistant would be willing to give it a go and work on some of the smaller projects. Though if she spent time in the workshop, who would man the store? No sooner did she realize that glitch than April arrived. They hugged. “How are your classes going?” April taught eighth-grade science. Jade wished Uncle Josh had been her father. At least he supported women getting a college education. “Great. I just can’t believe my second year is almost over. It’s a lot easier this year than
