I have the boys.
And look, I’m happy they’ve found love, but that doesn’t mean it’s for all of us.
I can’t see Zander letting any woman get inside his deceivingly covered steel heart.He’s all smirks and banter, but that man is locked down like Alcatraz.
So, I slept with Gemma.
Stupid.
Not unfixable.
I just need to stop thinking about her the way I do.The amount that I do.Wondering what she was up to over the weekend was a waste of time and focus.
Who cares if she was on a date, out with her daughter, at a bar with friends?
It makes no difference to me if she is a homebody and enjoys movie nights in front of a crackling fire.
Zero.
None.
I should have been doing some emails to my broker.
Zander and Mason showed up at the gym on Sunday afternoon, interrogating me about Gemma after taking her to the charity event.
“Nothing happened,” I lied, something I never do to them.
“They fucked,” Zander said.
“They absolutely fucked.”Mason nodded while running on the treadmill next to me.
“So what?”I slammed the red button and jumped off.“I could’ve taken her to the Obsidian Club and got down and dirty with her there.”
“Let’s do that next weekend,” Zander called over his shoulder while a fury the likes of which I’d never experienced slammed into the front of my brain.
The motherfucker.
Then he added, “If you’re happy to share.”
Rubbing my towel over my sweat-lined face, I froze, then abruptly continued.
“Thought so,” he chuckled.
“Stop making it into something it’s not,” I snapped.“I’m not the only idiot who fucked a woman he’s working with.Do I need to point out the obvious?”
Zander and Mason climbed off their exercise machines, smirking at one another.
Mason chugged down some water.“He’s right,”
“He might be right, but he’s forgotten one thing,” Zander said.“All three of you ended up putting a ring on it.”
I spluttered.“Jesus fuck, Zander.Calm down.Gemma is a widow, and honestly, she doesn’t even like me.”
“She must like your cock.”
“Hard not to.Excuse the pun.”I lifted a shoulder as Mason and I shared a smirk.“My point is, there was sexual chemistry, and we both wanted to get it out of our system.End of story.”
“Pun intended?”Zander asked.
