Richard stopped talking because so far Garrett hadn t said a single word. He led
him out of the hospital toward a grassy area with a couple of concrete benches.
Richard sat on one, leaving Garrett space beside him.
He was surprised when Garrett sat so quickly, expecting that everything would be
difficult and awkward as closed off as Garrett s face appeared.
You both have a good life, Garrett said, his voice sounding hollow.

Fun With Dick and Jayne
Richard nodded. Yeah. And it will only get better. I ll get past the internship, the
residency. Sometime in the future I ll actually have time to be a full partner in this
relationship.
I don t know where I fit. Why you in particular would want this. You say you
want Jayne happy, but why aren t you working harder on the relationship you do have
to make it right. Why bring me in?
Richard dragged in a slow, deep breath. Jayne and I are close. Like the same
person. Same likes, dislikes. We need more friction.
Finally a reaction. Garrett aimed a quick glare his way. I m the friction?
You re the goddamn spark. Frankly, our sex life has never been better than it has
been these past couple of weeks. We both need you. You wouldn t just be something
extra on the side. You d be the center.
You said you have certain kinks.
Richard smiled and glanced away. I like watching even more than I like being
watched. And I like& directing. Not in a Dom way. I know you d never go for that, but I
like setting things up.
You set up the robbery scenario.
Jayne s idea actually. Told you, we think a lot alike. But I m the one who planned
it.
She s your wife. What will I be to you?
She told you. Richard sighed, realizing just how important this conversation
really was. My friend, I hope. Brothers, eventually. I know that will take time because
we re both feeling a little jealous of each other, but it s my hope, our hope, that we grow
into something more. You re thinking about it, aren t you? Or you wouldn t be here. So
I have to know something.
Garrett shrugged, but his back stiffened.

Richard drew another deep breath. Is this just an experiment for you? Something
you think will just be fun and then you ll walk away? Because if it is, I d ask you to find
someone else to play with. Jayne s not really fragile, but she s got an innocent heart. She
throws herself into love. I wouldn t want her hurt.
I m not sure what this is for me. I m still thinking. My upbringing wasn t the
Brady Bunch. I carried around this picture in my head of what the perfect family would
be like. And I do want family kids, dogs, a nicer house with a big freaking yard. This
takes adjustment.
Take your time. We d want you sure.
Garrett nodded, but again his expression shuttered Richard out. What will you tell
her?
About this? Richard looked away at the sunrise breaking through the clouds.
That we have to give you space. She won t be happy about that. And knowing her,
she ll be tempted to try to persuade you. But I ll talk to her.
Garrett stood and extended his hand. Richard grasped it, instantly liking the
strength of his grip and his solemn expression. If Garrett came to them, he d be
committed. He wasn t the kind of guy to play fast and loose.
As Garrett walked away, Richard pulled his cell phone from his belt. Jayne
answered on the second ring. Babe?
Yes, Richard?
Make sure to close the blinds in your bedroom.

Jayne heard the car pull into the drive across the alley. She sat on her window ledge
just as she had for the past three nights and lifted a slat of her blinds to peer out. Just
like every night before, the garage door slid up, Garrett s car pulled in and the garage
door slid down.

She had her answer. Garrett wasn t going to come around no matter how much
time she gave him to think it through. No matter how much enticement she might add.
And she was fresh out of ideas for how to persuade him.
She missed him. Richard had been super-attentive, but he had seemed a little down
too.
Come away from the window, sweetheart. You re torturing yourself.
Patience isn t working, she said. He ll never come around if we don t push a
bit.
Richard grabbed a pillow and pushed it under his head. He s given us his answer.
Leave it.
I m not ready to concede. She turned the slats to allow Garrett a view if he chose
to look. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
