"There's only one thing you can do," Jamie replied. "Change the guy." Mia blinked. "Excuse me?" "You need to do a little research," Jamie said matter-of-factly. "Maybe Aidan was a good starter lover, and it's time for you to move on." Starter lover? Move on? Mia's stomach gave a sharp twist. "I'm not going to dump him so I can have sex with someone else," she said in a scandalized whisper. Jamie looked up and held Mia's gaze. "Then don't dump him." "If I don't dump him then"—Mia's eyes went wide as her mouth dropped open—"cheat on him? You want me to be unfaithful to Aidan?" "Oh, please, it's not that big of deal. Do you have an exclusive contract with him?" "We've been monogamous for a year, so I'm going to say it's implied." "Okay, then maybe you'll need to get his permission." Mia laughed at the outrageous suggestion. "Oh, right. I can see it now. 'Hey, Aidan, I'm going to pick up a guy at the corner bar and sleep with him. Don't wait up for me.' Yeah, that will go over well." Jamie brushed off the concern with a wave of her hand. "It's all in how you present it." Jamie stood still, and a smile slowly grew on her full lips. "Uh-oh. I know that look. What are you planning?" Mia wrapped her arms around her stomach as the familiar mix of dread and curiosity bubbled inside her. "I'm telling you, I'm not cheating on Aidan." Jamie tilted her head. "How do you feel about swapping?" "Swapping?" She dragged the word out of her mouth. "I'll give you Caleb, and you give me Aidan." Mia took a step back, her heart beating wildly. "Are you crazy?" "It's the best way to explore without dumping Aidan. And, even better, you know Caleb. He's hot, don't you think?"
"Why not? I'm giving you permission." And that changed everything, didn't it? If her best friend gave permission—went so far as to encourage it—was it cheating?

"Come on, Jamie," Mia said to her best friend. "Tell
me what I can do. Having sex with Aidan is… I don't know how
to describe it." Overwhelming? Unnerving? If she told that to
someone like Jamie, that would be
considered a plus.
"He's not my type." She didn't know what to think of Jamie's
standby lover. Mia didn't care if the guy was sexy and knew how to
keep Jamie coming back for more. The very idea of sleeping with him
made her jumpy, and it felt like her heart was going to burst through
her rib cage. Mia shook her head. "I am not screwing with my
best friend's lover."
