of the way, Ethan stepped past him, walked across the kitchen and took his seat to the right of Ivy. “Ivy, I’m sorry.”
    She looked up from her plate and stared at him a moment. Brushing a lock of long auburn hair from her face she nodded and lowered her gaze back to her plate. “No big deal.”

    “So are you seeing anyone now, Ivy?” Trey asked.
    Ivy’s head whipped around to gaze back at Trey, a smile returning to her lips, grateful for the distraction. Taking a deep breath in she slowly released it, building her courage. “Not right now. I’ve been dating but no one has really caught my attention for very long. So what about you two, you said you’ve been having a bit of a dry spell?” She looked from one face to the other.
    Trey shrugged. “It seems like this city is much smaller than it was when we were in high school. There doesn’t seem to be much in the way of quality dating material left.”
    Maybe ’cause you two went through so many in high school , she mused, but merely smiled. “Now that seems awfully hard to believe. You guys had your choice of girls before I left.”
    “Maybe we’re not the guys we used to be,” Ethan cut in.
    Looking back at Ethan, Ivy’s eyes narrowed at him. “What do you mean by that?”
    “We’re not in high school anymore, Ivy. We had our fun times, but I’m sure I speak for Trey as well as myself when I say we now realize there’s things more important than just looks and popularity and all those silly things that meant so much when we were teenagers.”
    “Those things seemed rather important to you a year and a half ago, Ethan.”
    Ethan sat back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. “People change, Ivy.” He motioned toward her. “It’s evident that you changed, so why can’t we?”
    Their eyes locked, but neither one spoke. She had a million thoughts racing through her head, second-guessing her plot.
    “Well, that was a wonderful supper, Ivy.” The sound of Trey’s chair being pushed back broke into her thoughts and she pulled her gaze from Ethan’s to look up at Trey. “How about we go on into the living room and maybe throw on a movie or something? A comedy perhaps.” Trey’s eyes cut over to Ethan’s. “I think this conversation is over.” He cocked a brow up at his friend. “Don’t you?”

    “Beer anyone?” Ivy placed the beer on the coffee table in front of Ethan and Trey. This was their fourth while she nursed her first wine cooler. Just how she’d planned it. The awkwardness of the confrontation at the dinner table had seemed to die off as the night wore on and for that she was grateful. She needed them to be at just the right state that they’d be in a carefree mood and up for just about anything, but not so drunk they’d be useless. They were almost there. The idea wasn’t to go for the gold tonight, but plant the idea in their heads, let them simmer on it overnight – maybe for a few days.
    “Yeah, I’m about due for another, babes,” Trey said. He guzzled down the remainder of the beer in the bottle, placed it on the coffee table with the other empty bottles and accepted the fresh one from her. Ivy turned from Trey to offer to hand one to Ethan and yelped as his hand landed on her bottom with a playful smack. The slap left a sting in its wake.
    “Trey!” Turning back to him, Ivy gave his shoulder a swat. “Keep that up and I’ll have to cut you off.”
    “Oh, you don’t want to be doing that Ivy.” Placing his beer on the side table, Trey grabbed her hips and pulled her back and into his lap.
    Ivy squealed as she fell back onto him and wiggled on his lap as she attempted to settle herself on him. As she wiggled, she felt his shaft thickening beneath the layers of clothing and the ridge of his cock pressing against her bottom. Her body froze for a brief moment, surprised by his body’s immediate reaction to her, despite that being the
