“Nope. It doesn’t. Paul and I share women. It’s not conventional, but who gives a fuck about convention?”
“What about if one of you falls in love with one, and another falls in love with someone else?”
“That won’t happen.”
“How do you know?”
“Just do. We’re partners, Sky. We may not fuck each other, but we know what we want.”
“You’ve never had a woman independently?” she asked.
He saw she was curious about this. Sipping the beer, he handed it back to her, leaning in close. The scent of coconut met his senses, and he just knew it came from her. He suddenly had an urge to smear chocolate on her skin, and lick. “Yes, we have, but I can tell you in the last fifteen years with Paul, I’ve not been with a woman without him there.”
Her gaze went to his lips, and then back to his eyes.
“Not once,” he said. “There’s just something about a woman being between us that I can’t seem to get out of my mind.”
She took a deep breath, and when he chanced a glance down at her chest, he saw that her nipples were erect, pressing against the front of her shirt.
“Then you’re going to make a woman very happy. Teri told me that you had your heart broken by that woman I served tonight. Stacey?”
Teri talks a lot.
“I didn’t get my heart broken. Plans were changed is all. I’m not pining after her either. She wasn’t who we thought she was, and you can’t be heartbroken over someone who doesn’t even exist.” Stacey had turned into just another fuck, but he doubted Skylar needed to hear that.
Suddenly, she pulled away and leaned back, sighing. “I love the sky at night. I really do. I love it when it’s clear, and it seems like a never-ending darkness, and I also love it when it’s dotted with stars, lighting our paths. It’s rather surreal how amazing it all is.”
“Amazing what is?” he asked. He was far more interested in watching her.
She chuckled. “Think about it. We’re one tiny world in an entire galaxy. I wonder if somewhere out there if there’s another world exactly like
ours, and right now there’s a bunch of people partying, with a couple on the bench, talking about exactly the same thing. It’s space, and I find it so fascinating.”
“Do these people on this other planet look green with things popping out of their heads?”
She laughed, and he loved that sound. He wanted to keep on hearing it.
“I don’t know. But I’m not so narrow minded as to think we’re the only species out there.”
“Do you believe in aliens, Skylar?”
She winked at him. “Maybe.”
Yeah, she was a different kind of woman. One he knew he would never get bored with. Her eyes held laughter, but it held something so much more appealing. She wasn’t a woman just after a fuck. He could sense that.
Skylar didn’t even realize that he wanted her. Right now, his cock was so hard that moving was causing him pain.
Still, he loved just being with her.
It was refreshing.

The following morning, Skylar rolled over and stretched. After her talk with Leo at the bench about aliens and space she had excused herself to bed. Working at the diner was exhausting. Her sister was a damn good cook, so it wasn’t hard to imagine a busy diner. Glancing at the clock on the bedside table, she saw it was a little after eight, and she already heard commotion downstairs.
Climbing out of bed, she went to the en suite bathroom, which she loved more than anything else. She didn’t have to see anyone just to go to the bathroom to pee. After she’d gone to the toilet, washed her hands, brushed her teeth, she went back to the bedroom.
Pulling her hair up into a bun on top of her head, she put on some slippers, and made her way downstairs. The big pajamas she had on pretty much hung off her body, which she liked. She never liked clothes that molded to her shape. She preferred to hide, to cover everything up so no one could see a thing.
