I mentioned this elsewhere, and I'm looking for more opinions. How would you feel if your SO kissed someone else... but you were very attracted to both of them? Still angry?
Hero and Current Boyfriend are in an exclusive relationship. But Hero is still very quite attracted to Ex-Boyfriend.
Current Boyfriend and Ex-Boyfriend hate each other. But they get stuck together (alone) for a couple weeks, things happen, and they become friends. They end up kissing. Not like a little kiss, but half-naked grinding and touching. At this point, I'm not sure how to handle this. When told, Hero's reaction is more or less "well I guess I should be angry, but can we please have a threesome?" Which seems like an unrealistic response. Like something you'd hear in a porno, not a romance novel.
And I know cheating is a big deal for readers, and I'd like to avoid it. But I'd also like to keep that kiss scene. What say you? Would you throw my book at the wall? How would you react: "let's have sex" or "get the fuck out"?
