Chapter 8

“Complicated?” Jed asks, looking curious.

“Well, I was dating a couple. They’d been together for years, but they wanted someone else. But It wasn’t like a true polygamous relationship. I was never…I wasn’t an equal part of things. I was a plaything, and I got sick of it,” Donnie says.

The sex had been great, but the whole thing had left Donnie feeling used. He’s seen poly relationships that work really well, but what he had hadn’t worked. The couple he’d been with had just wanted a glorified sex toy to spice up their relationship.

“Anyone else’s love life suddenly seem a bit boring?” Lisa asks, and her husband elbows her.

“You’ll get no sympathy from me. Single as hell over here.” Penny sighs.

“We’ll be going on tour soon. It’ll be easier for the single people on tour. No lovers for us to miss,” Jed says.

“Just don’t screw the wrong person on tour,” Jamie says, and Donnie would swear she glances at him as she says it, but no one seems to notice, and Jed laughs.
