My hands had settled upon his long, supple thighs. I slid them upward, piercing the legs of his swim trunks, and dragged my nails along.

“Because you can, you know. All you have to do is say the word.”

Bodie said nothing. He grabbed me instead, sliding his hands beneath my bare ass and cupping me hard against his incredible body. When he finally kissed me, the chemistry was beyond electric. His hands curled into my tender flesh, fingers probing, as he inhaled the breath from my lungs and breathed into me. He completely took over; lips rolling, tongues dancing, like we’d been kissing for centuries instead of mere seconds.

I gasped as I felt a fingertip brush my folds. It pierced me gently, somewhere beneath the rolling waters, and I found myself squirming into his lap, urging him to do more.

The whole thing was ridiculous — totally insane. Yet I’d never wanted something more in my entire life. My body had never wrested away such complete control from my brain, destroying all rational thought, obliterating whatever consequences there might be. But I was so far away from actual consequences. So blissfully warm and safe and secure, with not one but three incredible men. Men who respected me. Maybe even adored me.

Somehow I found the will to break the kiss; and push myself back to my own corner of the hot tub. The three of them followed my every movement, each staring back at me with hungry, lust-filled eyes.

“Hypothetically…” I said calmly, “let’s say I had a friend who was about to do something totally crazy. Something completely out of character, but also something she’s alwayswondered about.” I paused, and bit my lip. “But also, if we’re being honest, something she probably shouldn’t.”

Their expressions were the same; suppressed anticipation, mixed with desire. But they were also silent, as if totally spellbound. Each of them unable — or perhaps unwilling — to say something that might screw things up.

“So this friend of mine,” I went on. “Let’s say she’s willing to do this thing, but only if it neverreallyhappened. I mean, it would require ninja levels of discretion. Total black ops. Area 51 type stuff.”

One by one the boys looked at each other. Then, slowly, back at me.

“Hypothetically speaking,” Carter finally said, “there would be nothing to be discreet about. Especially since nothing ever happened.”

I watched carefully, as the others nodded their agreement. Then I stood up slowly, and let the water cascade from my naked body. Three pairs of eyes devoured me, as steam rose from every inch of my glistening skin.

“Right answer,” I said, nodding in the direction of the house.

HAYDEN

They carried me off like a trio of bare-chested barbarians; soaking wet, still dripping. I was only vaguely aware of being held before the fire. The warmth kissed my skin as two others moved down the hall, into the two nearest bedrooms, and returned with armfuls of bedding, pillows, and blankets.

Carter was already kissing me as he lowered me down, depositing me in the center of this soft new world. The table between the couches had been whisked away. In its place, centered perfectly before the roaring fire, was my naked, glistening form… surrounded by three gorgeous men, racing to roll their wet clothes down their strong, sexy thighs.

Sawyer happened to finish first. He held something up by the edges, then let go with his fingers. A long, fluffy towel rolled downward, bouncing and dancing at it reached the bottom.

“You’re my hero,” I smiled up at him. “You know that?”

He draped it over me, drying me quickly. Then he pushed me backward, onto my elbows, and dove head-first between my legs.

“Heroes get dibs.”

I spread willingly for him, exploding with shivers at the rough graze of his stubble, which contrasted with the soft kisses he was now planting along the insides of my thighs. My eyesrolled back as his tongue fluttered over me. It teased my folds, giving me the smallest taste of what would come. My mind was reeling, my brain screaming that I should enjoy this; that I should emblazon the memory forever, because this was a once in a lifetime, stars-in-alignment opportunity. And one that in all likelihood, would never, ever come again.

“Angel.”

I looked left, and Carter was beside me. He kissed my shoulder so delicately it gave me goosebumps. His eyes were on Sawyer, though. And together, absurdly enough, we watched his friend go down on me.

“Holy shit…”

I could barely breathe as Sawyer’s hot, hungry mouth closed over my sex. His tongue plunged inside me, and two long fingers along with it. A tiny yelp escaped my lips, as I was transfixed by every wonderful detail.

“Kiss me,” I pleaded.

Carter swept my lips to his, holding me lightly by the side of my face. The feeling was unexpectedly intense; doing two things at once. Deriving pleasure from both top and bottom, I sighed into his mouth and lay back to enjoy the happy consequences of my current stream of life’s decisions.

Is this really happening?

Yes. Yes, it was. I had only to open my eyes, to see Bodie settle in on the opposite side of me. His mouth was a jealous smirk as Carter and I kissed, rolling our tongues hotly. I arched my back as his smooth, uncalloused hand slid over my breast, kneading it with firm, possessive pressure. His thumb brushed my nipple, which stiffened instantly, a split second before his warm mouth closed over it.
