I walk down to the pool and dip my feet in the water. I watch the setting sun for a long while and think about what a mistake I’ve made in thinking I can be happy here.

With Simon in my life, I can never be happy. How could I have been so dumb?

I became so wrapped up in the guys, these four amazing brothers, that I forgot my reality, which is that Simon has me under his watch.

He can ruin my life, expose me. He can ruin my happiness.

The pool darkens as the day fades and the evening sets. Crickets chirp and provide a backdrop to my forlorn thoughts.

Reluctantly, I look at my phone and see that Simon has left a score of messages.

Where are you?he writes.Have you found anything?

I text him back,No, Simon. It’s been harder than I expected. There’s no sign of the will anywhere.

Time is of the essence, he replies. I roll my eyes.This is not some kind of vacation for you, Meg. You’re out there for a reason. If you don’t come up with something soon, I’m gonna pull you out of there and think of a new plan.

His words cause my heart to race with anxiety. I knew Simon would make his move soon. He’ll come out here and force my hand.

For all I know, he could show up at the front door tomorrow and demand to have me back.

Then the guys would know that I’ve been betraying them this entire time.

I think I’m getting close to something. I just need a little while longer. I’m sure the will is in the house somewhere, I text back.

Fine. But you don’t have long.

He’s such a jerk. There’s got to be a way to get him out of my life.

Idly, I remember how I came to the mansion with the intention of escaping my past, to run away to my island paradise.

But now I’m starting to feel firmly entrenched within the lives of the men here. They’ve made me submit in ways I never knew was possible.

Suddenly, I find myself wanting to give up my own plans of escape so that I can be with them.

It’s not such an impossibility, is it? I mean, besides the fact that I have no idea if any of them intend to be monogamous with me—a fact that I don’t forget for a second.

For all I know, this could be an unrequited fantasy in my head. Maybe the guys want to bed me for a time and then that’s it.

It’s out of my control, but a girl can hope.

Besides, there’s something worthwhile about being dominated by four men, four brothers, who are all so self-aware and have access to such inner power and strength. It makes me feel good to let go and to be their little muse.

While I’ve been with each of them separately—except for Evan—there’s a common thread that runs through all of my relationships with them: these guys are alpha males to the max.

They worship me, sure, and yet they expect me to give in to their every need and desire.

It’s a task I’m more than willing to do.

I feel myself getting turned on by the second as I sit here by the pool, thinking of them. I don’t honestly see how I can walk away from the situation.

I need to figure out some way to put off Simon.

My feet feel good in the warm water, and I see the moon rising over the horizon. I could sit here all night, just taking in the quiet country sounds.

And then to my surprise, I hear Evan’s voice.

“There you are. I was worried about you, Meg.”
