“A date?” Ian looked so shocked that it kind of hurt her feelings.
She wasn’t hideously ugly. Was she? And even if she was . . . she was a good person.
Mostly.
All right, she smelled a bit right now, but she didn’t always.
“You sound shocked. You don’t think he should want me?” she asked in a small voice.
“No. Wait. What? It’s not that. It’s just that he and I . . .”
“Oh my God. The two of you are in a relationship?” How had she not picked up on that?
“Yes, we are. I didn’t think he was actually going to . . . um . . . never mind . . . ”
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to come in between you two. I would never do that . . . I said no if that helps. But I suppose it doesn’t. I’m sure he wasn’t trying to cheat on you.”
Was she, though?
“Cheat on me . . . no.” He shook his head. “Wait, you’ve got the wrong idea. We’re not in that sort of relationship.”
“There are other sorts of relationships?”
“Yeah.” Ian sent her a look. “You know that most people who live here have harems, right? Several men and one woman?”
“Yes, of course. Do you mean . . . oh . . . you’re in a harem together? You have a girlfriend?”
“No. Not yet. But one of the reasons we moved here is so we could pursue that sort of relationship. Find a woman for the three of us.”
“Three?”
His face grew clouded. “We’re trying to convince Jameson to, uh, join us.”
Right. Of course. Wow. The woman who earned the three of them would be one lucky girl.
And that’s not going to be you.
Because, obviously, you’re out of their league.
Even she wasn’t believing her own lies anymore.
“I need to go talk to him. Don’t worry, I’ll make this right.” She moved away from Ian, ignoring his demands that she come back.
Seemed he was back to normal.
Jack looked over at her, then around the landscape as she approached him.
“Didn’t take Ian long to revert to being bossy again,” he said.
She might have been relieved that he was talking to her if he wasn’t speaking in a completely monotone voice.
“Probably just as well he’s back to normal. Holding back was likely making him constipated,” she said.
Yikes.
Why was she talking about Ian being constipated?
“Or giving him an ulcer. It can’t be easy for him to hold in all his demands. He was probably born bossy. Came out of his mum’s . . . vagina . . . all . . .”
