[There was a sort of relief when James didn't take long to catch on, he just wished it wasn't an issue.]
No, I would never ask that. I just . . . I don't feel that way about him. He's nice, he's very nice, and sexy. But I don't love him. He's a friend James. I like to spend time with him, but I'm not in love with him, not even a little. I couldn't . . . I couldn't watch you and him being together in the same room and not be jealous, and even if you asked me to join in again, I'd still be looking more at you the whole time. I don't want to share.
[He looked away, finally reaching for a bottle and a glass. He didn't even care what it was he poured, just wanting the comfort of alcohol and hoping it had been doctored enough to work on him. With the first sip he doubted he'd be that lucky. Steve stared into the glass, unhappy as hell.]
It's alright James. I won't mention it again. You can forget I said anything. It'll be just the way it was before. Just . . . just sex. No strings, no commitments, just lust. I promise. I can keep it to myself. I've done it before. I swear, I won't make it awkward.
