pushed Faye out of the door.
    Jake’s left eyebrow rose, as if in derision. Sofia pouted for real this time, moving to sit Indian–style on the bed, looking desolate now that her playmate had left.

    Faye stopped in the middle of the corridor when she realized her feet had been taking her to the play room. Chris didn’t have such problems as he took her hand and pulled her inside the room, his gaze automatically zeroing on the toys and lingerie they’d left behind. “Did you have fun?”
    She nodded, licking her lips before finally admitting, “Yes. A lot. And you?”
    “Me too.”
    “Chris…” she started before stopping.
    “What is it, honey?” He drew her to him, his hug reassuring even if it felt strangely odd.
    “How many times have you done this before?” she mumbled against his bare chest.
    “Done what?”
    “This. This swapping thing.”
    He sighed, his arms tightening around her. “A few. Does that bother you?”
    She thought about it, then nodded.
    “Why?”
    “I… I don’t know. I thought you were gay, and now I learn that you’re bi. It shouldn’t change anything, but it’s so odd to think of you liking women. And I know you want Sofia. I saw it in your eyes yesterday. I… I feel as if you’ve deliberately kept so many things from me. Something is going on, isn’t it?” she asked, then in a final whisper, she added, “I thought you were my friend.”
    A muffled curse rang out and he nudged her head up, forcing her to look him in the eyes. “We are, baby. We are friends, the four of us. You know that, right?”
    She shrugged. “Maybe, but…there’s something else going on. I can feel it.”
    He stared back at her in silence, the moment interrupted by Sofia who bounded into the room like an exuberant puppy. “Great idea you had coming in here, you guys! What’s that?” She picked up the chain g–string and held it up in front of her face. “Did you go shopping last night?”
    Jake stepped into the room. “I did.”
    “You bought stuff for Faye?”
    He nodded. “Yes. And she looked amazing in them.”
    “I’m sure she did,” Sofia replied eagerly. “Want to put it on again, babe?” She turned towards her friend.
    “No, thank you.” Faye left Chris’s side, emotions running wild inside her. She didn’t know what to do, how to act. She wasn’t even sure she wanted to be here. Oh, she’d felt nothing but pleasure earlier, but this was just too bizarre. And awkward too. What would happen in the coming days? Would they revert back to normal, never mentioning again they’d all had sex together? Or would this be their new ‘normal’? “Can I ask you something?” she finally said, unable to continue further without some kind of reassurance.
    “What’s wrong, Faye?” Jake asked, his eyes drilling into her.
    “I… What’s going to happen? I mean, not now but later? This is only for today, right?”
    No one answered her, as if they weren’t sure what to tell her.
    “What do you want to happen?” Chris asked, his face giving nothing away.
    “I don’t think I’ll be able to go back to…to normal. I mean, I won’t be able to forget that I had sex with Jake, or that Sofia touched me. It’s just… I don’t understand how this is going to work!”
    “We can make it work,” Jake’s soft voice rang in her ear.
    He probably thought it would soothe her but the effect was lost when she felt his cock, hard against her butt. “Can we? Are you so sure about that? Because I’m not!”
    “What are you afraid of, pet?” He moved so he was standing right in front of her.
    “That you’ll keep on calling me that, for one! I thought this was supposed to be a one–off. That it would be a secret between us, that I…” She bit her lip. “I don’t know. I think I should… I should go.”
    “Don’t.” Chris moved forward. “Please, Faye, we didn’t do this to hurt you. We just thought you’d be, you know, into it. I mean, this is just between us
