adventures.”
She glanced at him. “Do I?”
Ian was looking between the two of them but not interrupting.
“I don’t know,” she mused. “Even at my age I feel like I’ve lost part of my life to my career. It’s funny how life feels like it slips away from you without you even knowing it sometimes.” She watched Jasper’s eyes as she spoke.
“Yeah.” He nodded focusing on her intently.
The waiter suddenly appeared in the doorway with their check in his hand. Ian took it, and as the waiter left, the room was silent. No one said a word, and her brain swam with a sea of possibilities that were so much bigger than her small little boring world. It was a heady feeling, and she took a deep breath, soaking in the intoxication of it. And then she said it. It wasn’t her desire, nor her intention when she walked in, but… She said it.
“I’ve changed my mind.”

Jasper stared at Gray, stunned into silence. His cock was throbbing, his skin was flushing, and breathing had become a nonessential afterthought.
“Well, that settles that,” quipped Ian from beside him.
But Gray’s face remained impassive—much as it had been when she made the comment.
“No, it doesn’t,” Jasper cut in quickly. He turned his focus to Ian. “I need to speak with Gray alone for a moment.” He stared at Ian, refusing to look away.
Ian held the check up. “Why don’t I take care of this, and I’ll meet you both in the parking lot. Perhaps a nightcap at my place.”
Jasper didn’t respond to him, and he waited for Ian to leave before he bothered trying to speak again. But the moment the door closed and he was alone with Gray, he opened his mouth. “Why are you doing this?”
She watched him for a moment, and she swallowed harshly over a lump in her throat. “I guess… I want to do something I’m not supposed to do. I want to want something I’m not supposed to want. I want to make the mistake I’m not supposed to make.” She took a deep breath again.
He nodded but said nothing.
“Are you agreeing?” she asked quietly.
“Yes.” His voice was no louder than hers.
“Why?”
Every muscle in his body tightened into hardened strands of tension. “Because I want to fuck the hell out of the mistake until I can get her out of my system.”

Jasper had picked up Ian before dinner, but Ian drove Gray to his home in her car while Jas followed in his own car. It was agonizing. He wasn’t supposed to want her this much. He was supposed to want to play with her and nothing else, but every time he looked at her all he could think about was the word more . More. He needed more of her.
He knew even as he drove behind her car toward Ian’s house that what he was going to do to her wasn’t going to satisfy him. It wasn’t going to be enough. He wasn’t sure there was such a thing as enough with her. But he was going to do everything in his power to hit that limit. Because falling short of that limit meant he was going to continue to crave her. And he needed this desire to end.
Ian uncorked another bottle of wine the moment they stepped inside his house, and as Jas followed Gray to the living room, he watched her move. Her fingers trembled slightly as she took the glass from Ian, and Ian leaned down, kissing her on the forehead as he mindlessly held the other glass he was holding out for Jas to take.
Jas sat across from them, and he waited for her to look at him. She seemed to be avoiding it, but when she finally managed, she didn’t look away—he didn’t either.
“How about a game plan,” Ian commented as he sank to the couch beside Gray with his own glass of wine.
“That’s new.” Jasper finally looked away from her to Ian.
“Well … she is my girlfriend, after all—not some casual fuck as you said.”
Gray’s eyes snapped to Jasper’s for a moment.
Ian looked between them, and then he chuckled. “So, here it is. You’re going to fuck her ass, and I’ll take care
