Free Spread Your Wings: Men in Blue, Book 4 by Jayne Rylon

right to smack some sense into you idiots. I can’t believe you’re still screwing this all to hell.”
    “You’re talking about Jambrea.” Cutting to the heart of the problem, Matt met Lily’s gaze head on.
    “Of course.” She sighed.
    “We’re capable of handling our sex lives on our own. Thanks.” Clint started to rise and likely storm out of the club.
    Lily’s breaking news stopped him cold. “Oh yeah? Then why did she show up here a few days ago and practically beg me to set her up with a fuck buddy?”
    Neither of them spoke. To do that, Matt would have had to breathe. Except everything inside him froze. Stuck as solid as the Tin Man, because without the lovely nurse he was afraid he didn’t have a heart. Especially if he had to journey down life’s winding paths missing his partner too. Surely, they’d never survive this intact.
    Lily took advantage of their stunned silence. “Well, to be completely frank, she requested two men to pleasure her. And I can’t imagine any reason why she shouldn’t have her wish.”
    Clint found his tongue first. “A ménage? But…she’s been running scared from us for months.”
    “One thing the three of you have in common, then. To be fair, you did a lousy job of seducing her while you were too busy trying to one-up each other.” Lily perched on her desk, facing them as she crossed a slender thigh over the other. She swung one of her extreme-heeled boots in time to a beat only she heard. “The way I see it, you have two choices. You can man up, both of you, and give the lady what she wants. Or I’ll pass the opportunity of a lifetime to any of the seven capable and oh-so-willing pairs who applied for the position. Jeremy and I could select a duo that will guarantee her a night to remember.”
    “The hell you will!” Matt roared as he bolted to his feet. He hadn’t meant to knock the chair over in his haste, but the thud it made as it tipped onto the plush rug satisfied him.
    Lily only smiled as she checked-out the prostrate furniture and murmured, “You’re so much alike. No wonder this is tough.”
    When he planted his hands on the immaculate surface of her desk and leaned in, trapping her inches from his face, undaunted by the fierce Mistress, Jeremy took a step closer too.
    “Settle down.” JRad might not have possessed Matt’s physical strength, but something else inside him allowed him to dominate men and women alike. Hell, even Lily bowed to the man. If Matt hadn’t seen that himself, he never would have believed it.
    The force of his quiet warning brought Matt back to reality.
    “Lily didn’t have to give you a head’s up. It wasn’t easy for her to break Jambi’s confidence and figure out the right thing to do in this situation. This has been eating at her for days. Especially since you’ve blown so many chances already.” Jeremy paced beside his new wife, his fingers trailing across her back from shoulder to shoulder. “I don’t appreciate you knuckleheads upsetting my wife. So I think you should be thanking her. And listening. Really listen to what she has to say.”
    Matt took a deep breath, then another. He righted his chair and plopped into it, staring at the intricate carving on the foot of the desk. He’d never felt more like a failure than at that moment. “Sorry, Lily. I don’t know what to do anymore.”
    “Me either.” Clint surprised him by reaching over and squeezing his shoulder. The contact helped ease the crush in his chest.
    “I think you two need to start by figuring out how you feel about each other.” Lily raised a brow when he glanced up. “Unless you think I’m a moron and that I imagined the spark between you when you kissed.”
    “There wasn’t—” Clint instinctively began, snatching back his support so he could wave his hands in front of his chest.
    “There was .” Matt decided she had it right. He wasn’t willing to risk his best friend any more than he’d throw away a chance at the woman
