the point where she couldn’t ignore her body’s plea. “Yeah? How about I watch you this time instead?”
    She wasn’t sure Ash would agree. She knew Ash had her creative muse tugging at her brain, pulling her back to her workshop, but she really, really hoped she’d say yes.
    Ashlyn hesitated for a moment and glanced over June’s shoulder to the backyard. She wore a smile when she returned her focus to June. “I think I can manage that.”
    June led Ash down the hall to their bedroom, ready to make sure her wife didn’t regret her choice.

Chapter Three
     
    June waited until the last possible minute to enter the meeting. She reasoned that she’d been first last time, leaving plenty of room for Kat to sit next to her. This way she could settle quietly in the corner, where she could listen in peace without worrying about her body’s reaction to Kat’s obvious interest.
    She opened the conference room door at three fifty-eight. If she could have made herself wait the extra two minutes, she would have entered at four on the nose, but her work ethic was too firmly engrained for her to push that far.
    As she hoped, the chairs surrounding the table were full, and a few people had already selected seating around the perimeter of the room. All the chairs, except one. Kat sat in the same location as last time, and the seat next to her, June’s seat, was empty.
    Kat smiled and beckoned her over. “June, I saved you a seat.” Kat stretched her name out into a long seductive purr that was better suited for the bedroom.
    June clutched her folder to her chest and forced her legs to work. To select another place at this point would create a scene and possibly get her fired.
    “Thanks.” She eased into the chair, careful not to brush against Kat. She slid the chair a few inches away from Kat, far enough to give her a little room to breathe, but not so far as to crowd the other person.
    Kat matched her movement seamlessly, aligning her chair with June’s. “I was afraid you weren’t going to make it.” She spoke quietly, just to June rather than the room. She touched June’s arm lightly and leaned in slightly.
    “Sorry, didn’t mean to make you worry.” June searched for a believable reason for her late appearance, but couldn’t think with Kat’s fingers lingering on her skin. She considered it a win that she didn’t blurt out, “I was avoiding you.”
    The statement would have been only partially true anyway. Since their last meeting, June hadn’t been able to clear her mind. Images of Kat, the smell of her perfume, the smoky seduction in her voice, all of it, haunted her throughout the day. Yes, it’d resulted in some amazingly dirty sex with Ash. God, the words that came out of Ash’s mouth. She’d been absolutely filthy as she talked June through orgasm after orgasm featuring Kat as inspiration.
    But there was a thick, solid line between fantasy and reality, and June knew better than to step over it. As fascinated as she was with the temptation, there was no way she would act upon it. Arriving late was her effort to avoid a divorce. Kat just happened to play a key role in that.
    Without anything better to offer, June left the apology for arriving last hanging in the air with no further explanation.
    “No matter. You’re here now.” Kat removed her hand and turned her attention toward the rest of the room. “We can begin whenever you’re ready.”
    June sagged with relieve and regret at the loss of Kat’s touch. She wasn’t young and idealistic enough to believe that her body shouldn’t react when she was attracted to another woman. She knew the biology of sex just didn’t work that way. But that didn’t erase the vows she’d shared with her wife. As much as she enjoyed Kat’s attention, and oh how she enjoyed it, she valued her life with Ash more. She would do anything to protect that, including deny her own libido, despite the fact that it went into overdrive when Kat so much as smiled in her
