“More than good,” Owen agrees, rubbing my back.

After a minute, Tobias eases me off his cock and rolls us so we’re on our sides facing each other, my back to Owen.

He cups my face and kisses me tenderly until Owen clears his throat dramatically, making me giggle.

Tobias sends him a mock glare. “Why don’t you get your lazy ass up and get something we can clean up with.”

Owen kisses my bare shoulder and rolls off the bed, not at all offended by the way Tobias teases him.

Owen returns with clean up supplies, and together they clean me up without speaking.

“Is it weird to be having this much fun when we’re clearly in danger?” I ask after several minutes of silence.

Owen kisses my temple and tosses the damp rag he’d been using into the bathroom. “I think it’s a good thing. There’s very little we can do right now other than make sure you’re safe. We’ve taken every precaution. So, we might as well stay busy and keep our minds off what’s happening that we can’t control.”

Tobias brushes hair away from my face. “I agree with Owen. We’ll address anything that comes up so try not to worry, love.”

For the first time, I don’t balk at him calling me love. It sounds just as right as when Owen does it. Though I must admit I kind of prefer Tobias calling me vixen. I’m not sure why I like that so much, but I do.

I yawn, and Tobias sits up straight. “We should get you to your bed.”

I don’t object when he scoops me into his arms and walks naked up the stairs to the room they’ve deemed mine.

“Will you both stay with me?” I ask, sleep threatening to overtake me at any moment. “At least until I fall asleep?”

They’re both silent, but Tobias pushes me more towards the center of the mattress and lays next to me. A few seconds later, Owen lies on the other side of me. I’m not sure who falls asleep first, but we’re all out before long.

When I wake the next morning, they’re both still next to me. I’m overly warm, but I can’t bring myself to move and wake them. So, I just lay there and enjoy being with them. When Owen shifts, I brush his chest with my palm, and he quirks one eye open.

“Morning, Sir,” I whisper, not wanting to disturb Tobias.

He grins and pulls me close for a tender kiss. I moan when he deepens it, and shift so my body is pressed against his.

“Hey, no kissy face so early in the morning,” Tobias grumbles.

“You’re telling me you wouldn’t be kissing her if you woke up first?” Owen retorts.

I giggle and roll over to kiss Tobias. He nuzzles his face into my neck, and I let out a satisfied moan when he nips me with his teeth. I could get used to waking up this way. Something tells me I shouldn’t, but I want to. I want this to last. Even if it’s impractical.

“How long are we going to be here?” I ask, trying to keep my mind off fantasizing about a future that seems impossible.

“At least through the weekend. Hopefully, that’s all it will take, but we’ll play it by ear after Sunday.”

I snuggle deeper into the covers. So, I’ve got an entire weekend to pretend this fantasy can be real.

I’ll take it.

Tobias

Istandonthedeck and watch Owen and Bellamy laughing over something while he makes her a breakfast plate. He knows what she likes without having to ask. I crave that level of intimacy with her. I’m not unhappy with the arrangement we have right now, but there’s a part of me that wonders if I’ll always be at least a little behind the curve. Will Bellamy and I ever be as close as what I’m seeing between her and Owen right now? I can only hope.

I walk over to where they stand and wrap my arms around Bellamy from behind, resting my chin on her head.

“You sure you don’t want a jacket out here?”
