“Wholesome,” Zeph finished for Colton.

The bark of laughter that came from Luke’s mouth matched my feelings perfectly. “Well, we haven’t had a threesome, but I wouldn’t say our sex life is wholesome. I mean, just now, Cam swa-”

“That’s enough, Luke. It’s not a competition. We don’t need to go through all our kinks with our friends.”

“Well, not right now anyway, but maybe later, cowboy.” Colton clapped Luke on the shoulder. “Y’all wanna get some ice cream with us. We’ve been fixin’ to try that shop next door since we saw it. Then maybe we can walk Luke back to the village?”

“Are you sure it’s safe?” I asked.

“Zeph’s six-five. I don’t think anyone will bother us.”

“So, which one of the guys did you bang?” Cam asked.

I stopped licking my frozen yogurt, waiting to hear their answer.

“If I said the cute one, would that answer your question?” Colton replied.

“Was it Brody?”

“You know their names?” I asked.

“Just the one that talked to me.”

“Not Brody. The short one with blonde hair. He said his name was Gabe.”

I pulled out my phone and asked what studio they were with. Cam leaned over to see what I was doing. He whispered, “You know you have nothing to worry about.”

“I know. I just wanted to see for myself.”

Well, the photos were as expected. Both would’ve gotten my attention at the gym, but I trusted Cam. Besides, it sounded like Colton and Zeph were going to have their hands full, which meant the boys at the hotel were going to have their holes full.

Colton asked me the usual questions about training and the village and the new app, filling the time on the walk back. Zeph hung back with Cam, but I couldn’t hear what they were talking about.

I could see the security checkpoint up ahead. Colton must’ve seen it too because he slowed down and switched places with Cam. We walked the last bit in silence, holding hands. I was soaking in all I could. I’m sure he felt the same way.

When we were about fifty feet away, Colton interrupted the silence. “Well, Luke, it was nice hangin’ out for a bit. I’m sure we’ll see you soon. Good luck with training.”

I hugged him and Zeph goodbye and they walked back the way we came to give Cam and I some privacy.

“So…”

“This was nice. I know you’re probably worried for me, but I’m doing good. I’ve got plenty of distractions-”

“The porn stars?”

Cam pushed my chest playfully. “I suppose, but I meant Colton, Zephyrus, and Erika. I should probably text Noah too. If Shane’s with you during the day, then he’s alone as well.”

I nodded. “See you tomorrow?”

“Of course.”

Cam pulled my face towards his and we kissed. It didn’t matter how many kisses we shared, when Cam’s lips and tongue came together on mine, my stomach still tilt-a-whirled every time. I savored the moment, knowing as soon as he left, I’d be walking back into a possibly stressful situation.

“Maybe tomorrow you can bring the guys? It would be nice to see them, and I’m sure they’d like to relax a little too. That way we can see each other and you can be a good Olympic veteran. I’ll see if Colton and Zeph want to come too.”
