But something switched in Jason then, and he relaxed, sitting back, his big form casual.

“That’s right,” he drawled, one arm slung across the back of the booth behind me in a possessive manner. “We’re here to talk about Katy, my favorite subject.”

I blushed once more because it was getting downright embarrassing. I couldn’t just let them talk about me like I was a piece of property.

“Listen, before this gets too far, can I remind you two that I’m right here? There’s no need to chat like I can’t hear,” I scolded. “We’ve been through a lot in the last two days, and I was very much a part of it both times, so I’d appreciate it if you could address your comments to me and not each other.”

Both men looked surprised.

“Of course honey,” ground out Brent. “We respect you, that’s no problem.”

“Wouldn’t have it any other way,” agreed Jason.

I took a deep breath, smiling at them, but not too friendly. I was in charge here and wanted to make sure they knew who was the lady boss.

“Okay, well since we have that settled, why don’t we talk about sharing then,” I began. It sounded like we were in a kindergarten class learning the basics, but heck, you’ve got to start at step one, right? In uncharted territory, you can’t exactly go straight to Park Place without passing Go first. So I took a deep breath, collecting my thoughts, but that damned waitress came back, purring and cooing like a cat.

“Hi again fellas,” she simpered, cocking out one hip saucily. “Ready to order?”

It was like I wasn’t even there because the woman didn’t acknowledge me at all. Seriously, today was fucking frustrating. I just wanted to get to the meat of the conversation but everything was getting in the way, one hurdle after another, and my ears began to steam. But fortunately the men could sense my irritation and deferred to me.

“The lady goes first,” rumbled Jason, eyebrow quirked.

I turned to the older lady with a bright look on my face.

“Grilled cheese with a side of fries please,” I said, overly friendly, even a little plasticky.

Both men nodded.

“Grilled cheese has a lot of calories,” grunted Brent approvingly. “Make mine a grilled cheese too, but throw in an all-beef patty and some extra bacon.”

Jason was just as hungry.

“Yeah, I’ll take a grilled as well,” he added. “With meat and cheese but no bread, animal-style.”

I just shook my head. Really, we were all getting grilled cheese sandwiches, like one happy family?

Jason smirked at me, throwing in a kicker.

“Plus extra fries for everyone,” he announced to the waitress, “Yeah, we’ll need some fries.”

I sighed as the waitress nodded and sauntered away, hips swinging.

“Really?” I asked dryly. “Extra fries? You know they serve them by the bucket here.”

But Jason nodded emphatically.

“That’s right, and I want to see you eat every one,” he replied, “I want to eat so much that your sweet body puts on some serious poundage.”

I rolled my eyes. Back to the weight thing again? It was so hard to have a conversation with these guys because we kept getting derailed by talk of my curves. But I wasn’t going to give up, so I ignored his comment and fixed them both with a stare.

“Like I said,” I began, “we’re here to discuss sharing. I want to work out something with both of you guys in order to find a way to compromise.”

The word “compromise” made both their brows draw, like it was the nastiest epithet ever. But to their credit, neither man said anything. Instead Brent asked neutrally, “And what did you have in mind?”

That gave me momentary pause because truthfully, I didn’t have a solution. Everything had happened so fast, so quickly, my pussy and ass cherries lost within twenty-four hours of each other, that there had been no time to digest the situation yet. So I fumbled, trying to cover, making something up on the fly that sounded okay.

“Um, how about Monday, Wednesday, Fridays I’m with Brent, and Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m with Jason?” I blurted, looking between both men. That wasn’t too bad, was it? Sounded reasonable to me.
