“Yes, I like her,” I admitted. “In fact, I’ve liked her for a while now.”

Shane didn’t look at all pleased at that. “A while?”

“Yeah.”

“Forgive me if I’m skeptical.”

“Look, I’ve had my eye on her,” I said. “That’s all you need to know.”

He still didn’t believe me. Or rather, he chose not to.

“So it took an avalanche for you to make your move?” he teased. “Is that what you’re saying?”

I stretched my arms overhead, flexing my muscles. Maybe it was because I was tired. Maybe it was a show of force. Shit, even I didn’t know. Wisely though, I said nothing.

“Fine,” said Jeremy, letting out a long breath. “For argument’s sake let’s say we all like her. We’ve all been with her, obviously. The next thing we need to—”

“Wait, really?” I asked abruptly. “You’ve been with her? The both of you?”

They nodded.

“Together?”

They looked at each other and nodded again. This part didn’t make sense to me. Or at least, it was certainly something I hadn’t considered. I’d figured one of them had bedded her for sure. But not both.

It was definitely intriguing though.

“How exactly did that work?” I asked curiously.

“Pretty much just like you’d think,” said Shane.

“And she was into it?”

They looked at each other again, this time with a little smirk. Neither of them were lying, I could tell that.

“Yeah. She was.”

I blinked away my disbelief and scratched my stubbled chin. Maybe this girl was different than I’d originally thought. More bold. More daring and adventurous.

It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. I just couldn’t believe it.

“Damn,” I said. “That’s a new one.”

Shane nodded. “It was new for us too,” he said. “And obviously for her.”

“Probably made easier by the fact we’re thrust into this crazy situation together,” said Jeremy. “Danger. Freezing cold. Taking comfort in each other… all that good stuff.” He paused, then grinned at me. “Having a giant hot tub down here probably doesn’t hurt either, I’m sure.?

??

“No,” I laughed. “It sure doesn’t.”

I looked at each of them, kneeling beside me. We weren’t exactly best friends now, but we were no longer enemies either. Barriers had been broken.

“So what next?”

“Well,” said Jeremy. “We’ve got an idea, if you’re up for it. And if she agrees to it, of course.”

“Which is?”
