“Such good teachers,” I said tiredly, watching all three of them as they climbed into the bed. The heat from their bare skin warmed me more than the blanket.
A wave of warm, sleepy contentment filled me, and Ifelt very grateful for each of them. They’d taught me so much—how to get out of my head, how to enjoy the sensations, that it was okay to crave more, that it was okay to talk dirty, and to seek out pleasure. They’d taught me all of that and more.
I didn’t want our lessons to end, but I couldn’t tell them that. Not when there was one twin on either side of me snuggling close and my eyes couldn’t stay open. I nestled my face against Kai’s chest as his arms went around me. Landon scooted in tight behind me. Then I felt Asher’s hand in my hair as he leaned across Landon.
Three gorgeous men had feelings for me. Wanted to be with me. And couldn’t keep their hands off me even though we were all exhausted. I smiled as I drifted off. At least something good had come from this failed internship.
Somethingreallygood.

The next morning,we all woke up tangled together in bed. I was warm and comfortable with hands lazily touching me—someone stroking my hair, another tracing circles on my bare stomach, fingers trailing up and down my arm. It was perfect and peaceful, and I never wanted to leave this bed.
But then Landon decided to be the voice of reason. “This is our last full day together, so we have to make plans.”
Asher groaned from beside me. “Do we have to get out of bed?”
“No.”
“Okay, let’s make plans,” Asher said agreeably. His sleepy morning self was a lot different from the dirty-talking man who’d ordered me around last night.
Landon shoved his twin to make sure he was awake. “Ash and Zoe will drive back to school. Kai and I will fly back to Colorado, ask for some more time off, then fly to Haverford.”
The fact that I’d see them soon, that I wouldn’t have to wait months, still seemed too good to be true. Then again, so had last night.
Kai was face down on the bed on my other side, and despite Landon’s efforts, I felt sure he was asleep. But he raised his hand with his head still buried in the pillow and said, “Don’t forget that we have to buy some skimpy lingerie and sex toys before we fly back.” I gasped at that.
“To shock the security agents at the airport?” Asher asked with a low laugh.
Kai lifted his head and grinned at me. “To shock our girl and take her to new heights—or depths—of depravity.”
Heat rushed through me at his words and the promise in his eyes. Somehow “our girl” thrilled me more than anything else they’d called me, naughty or nice.
Landon continued as if his brother hadn’t just derailed the conversation. “We’ll spend a week visiting you two. Ash has told us a lot about that fancy school of yours. Might as well see it.”
A week. That was more than I’d dreamed of. Except… a week. At the beginning of the busiest semester of my entire college career. And it would beeven busier than they knew, because I hadn’t yet told them what I’d decided to do. “I’d love that,” I began, and then hesitated. I wished so badly I could skip classes and do unspeakably naughty things with them for a week, but that wasn’t how reality worked.
“But?” Asher prompted.
“But you know how this semester is going to be. I’ll be in classes and working at the coffee shop, and it’ll be even busier now, with the extra coursework.”
Asher propped his head up on his hand, watching me with a sharp gaze.
I sighed. Though I trusted them, I still felt bad about how this internship had turned out. “I, um, I still need to complete an internship in order to graduate. Successfully complete it, I mean.”
“You were successful,” Landon said firmly.
“Tell that to Mrs. Greer,” I muttered. “And my department.”
Kai smirked. “We don’t have to.”
What? That made no sense, and I couldn’t understand why Asher hit him in the back of the head.
“What were you saying, Zoe?” Landon asked.
“I’m going to try to find a resort I can work at for a week or ten days in late January or February.”
