“Can you get them?” I asked softly. I honestly wasn’t sure my legs would support me at the moment.
He kissed my forehead. “Are you sure? There’s no rush.”
“Yes.” And I truly was. So very, very sure. Except when he started to sit up, I couldn’t bring myself to let him go.
He gave a low laugh. “All right, I’ll send up the bat signal.” He reached over to the nightstand, picked up his phone, and sent a quick text. I nestledmy head against his chest, feeling warm and content, as he stroked my back.
It felt amazing, but my pulse sped up when there was a soft knock at the door and then it opened. Asher and Kai were lit up in the doorway, both carrying wine glasses and wearing only boxer shorts.

My heart skippeda beat as I stared at them. Tonight had already been one of the best ones of my life, and seeing Kai and Asher—and the way they were looking at me—made me realize we’d only just begun.
Asher’s eyes raked across me, as if trying to see if I looked different. But then he smirked, nudging Kai with his elbow. “I think we’re in the wrong room. I don’t see any virgins here.”
I flushed all over. The sheet was covering my breasts, but I knew my hair was a mess and that my makeup had probably run. They didn’t seem to care.
And I didn’t either. My smile was a little shy but very real. I felt like I’d finally joined the club. A very grown-up club.
“Hey, baby girl,” Kai said, walking over and sitting on the edge of the bed. I could feel the warmth from hisbare skin—from both twins, actually. Being naked and in between them was pretty damn arousing.
“How do you feel? Sore?” Asher said as he joined us.
“Incredible,” I said.
“Do you feel different?” Landon asked.
“Yeah, I do.” I felt more confident somehow, more sure of myself. Like I’d crossed some invisible threshold and there was no going back—and I didn’t want to go back.
“Well, congratulations,” Kai said.
“Congratulations on losing my virginity?” I asked, giggling a little.
“Sure. Why not? As your teachers, we’re very proud. And we brought champagne.”
I sat up, clutching the sheet to my chest, and took the glass that Asher handed me.
Landon sighed when Kai handed him one. “Did you two forget again that champagne is her safe word?”
“Fuck, yes, we did,” Kai said.
“Maybe you two should stick to teaching cooking and skiing,” Landon said.
“I like our lessons,” I said. “All of them.” I held up my glass, and we clinked our glasses together. Suddenly, it didn’t feel like it was about me anymore. It felt like it was about us.
Kai and Landon were twins, so they’d been on the same team since birth. I didn’t actually know when Asher met them, but it was clear they were close. Theyknew each other inside and out, and they had each other’s backs. And being here with them, sipping champagne as Landon idly rubbed my back and Kai put his hand on my thigh—it felt like maybe I was being invited to join the team. To my surprise, I desperately wanted to.
I took a sip, and the cool liquid tickled my throat. It was sweet and rich and bubbly all at the same time. In fact, it was delicious.
I took another long swallow and then smiled, examining the leftover liquid. “That is one expensive safe word.”
They chuckled as they finished their drinks. I looked from one to the other, wondering who would be next. Not that I wanted to rush things, but I wanted to know. Finally, Landon set down his glass and swung his legs over the edge of the bed, seemingly unselfconscious of being naked in front of his friends.
He got to his feet, and Kai moved in closer, his arm sliding around my back. “Ready for more?”
I nodded a bit shyly, which was ridiculous. I’d gone down on him—that was one of the most intimate things a person could do. But a few nerves still fluttered in my stomach. Even though Kai looked exactly like his brother, his energy was so different.
