“I’ll be okay. I’m just going to think for a little while. I’ve never seen a sky this clear before.”

Brad kisses the top of my head and leans in behind me. “Do you see that set of stars right there?” He points toward the northwest sky to a bright star and draws out a shape with the tip of his finger, as though connecting all the dots. “That’s Leo, do you see it?”

I follow each bright dot, watching as the lion comes to life in the sky. “I do!” I say with enthusiasm. “I really see him.”

Brad grins and squeezes each side of my arms before kissing the top of my head, “That’s the only one I know, maybe Colin knows a few.”

I’m surprised he’s invited Colin in, then I remember they seem like the best of friends. I’m sure they wouldn’t let something like an innocent kiss come between them. Then again, Brad doesn’t know about the kiss Colin and I shared at the well earlier.

“Actually,” I say, clearing my throat. “I think I’ll just sit out here on my own for a second, if that’s okay.”

Brad nods. “You sure? You don’t want to catch co—”

“I’m sure,” I say, leaning in to kiss his lips before sliding down to the base of the palm tree close to camp.

Colin and Brad are hesitant to lay down without me, I can see it in the way they turn around eighteen times before crawling into bed, but I need the quiet for a moment to center myself. It’s not every day you jump out of a plane, join a game show, and find yourself in a love triangle with two handsome men.

I lean my head back and enjoy the cool breeze against my skin as I try not to imagine what creepy crawlies are lurking above me, or below me for that matter. I know Colin’s pirate story was fake, but now that I’m out here alone the ghost of Davy Jones seems closer than it was five minutes ago.

Shaking the monsters out of my head, I close my eyes and relish in the light rain that’s now pattering down. It’s cold and a little windy, but I’m tucked under a tree and the light patter is calming to my nerves.

For some reason, my conversation with Zane comes to mind. All that talk he had about loving more than one person is great in theory, but what about practice? Especially now that the number of men I’m feeling things for just seems to keep piling up. I mean, the conversation I had earlier with Zane was so pure. He’s been angry and aggressive since we met. Yet when we were alone, he made me feel like I was all that mattered.

I shake my head. Maybe I’m sick with a terrible fever and this is my brain’s way of coping. I almost hope it’s true. At least then maybe I could have all of them.All of them… the thought makes me laugh. Maybe the truth is that I never jumped from the plane, rather it crashed, and this is all some fantasy my brain is creating to help me pass on peacefully. I’ve never heard of anyone needing a throbbing clit to pass into the next realm, but I guess there is a first for everything.

“You okay out there?” Brad asks from inside the homemade bungalow. “You shouldn’t stay out there alone too much longer. There are some poisonous spiders you don’t want to meet.” He laughs when he speaks, but I’ll bet there’s some truth in what he’s saying.

“I said to be quiet,” Zane drones, though I can tell there’s still a bit of playfulness in his tone.

I know I should get inside. It’s late and I’m starting to get cold, but as another gust of wind presses past me my stomach knots tighter. I’m not a math girl, but I’d guess the whole enclosure is the size of a queen-sized mattress. I suppose for a makeshift, island bed that’s good. I mean, it does have four walls, and there’s even a door, but the thought of sliding between three hot as hell men after my clit has been throbbing all day sounds like unfair torture.

That said, it will be nice to have a little hideaway from the cameras for a while. I slide up from the palm tree and follow the path in toward the little bungalow, skirting past the fire to climb up onto the bamboo slabs where Brad, Colin, and Zane are waiting.

“Right here,” Brad says, making a space for me between him and Colin. I try not to make eye contact with anyone as I slide between the two muscular men, my heart slamming against my chest.

This is normal, I tell myself. It’s normal to snuggle when in a survival situation.How else would we stay warm? How else would we stay safe from predators? We need to stay together.

“You’re freezing,” Colin says with concern.

I am a little cold. Surprisingly, the temperatures drop pretty low overnight and with the ocean breeze I’d guess it was only fifty-seven, maybe sixty. It’s a nice night when you’re cozy in your bed, but when you’re half naked with no covering, it stands your nipples on end.

“I should’ve been sitting closer to the fire,” I say, my teeth chattering lightly. “I’ll be okay though. Don’t—”

Brad runs his hand down over the side of my arm and pulls me in closer to his body, my ass carving into the space that holds his solid sword, which pokes at me with intention as I wiggle into place. He kisses the back of my shoulder, and I feel safe in his arms. Safe, cared for, appreciated. Yet, for some reason, maybe guilt, my eyes lift and see Colin and Zane, both of them staring back at me with purpose and intent. I’m not sure what to do so I look away.What have I gotten myself into?This whole thing is one giant mess. I need to say something. I should tell Brad what I did. I should tell them all, right now.

“You should move in closer, Colin,” Brad says, holding my shivering body tight. “She needs all the heat she can get.”

My clit throbs harder at his direction. He’s asking Colin to get closer to me. I’m nearly nude. I mean, I have these cotton panties and the bandana, but that’s not much considering the guys are just wearing swim trunks. This shouldn’t be exciting me.

Colin doesn’t hesitate. With his gaze on mine, he moves in closer toward me. His arms easily wrap into my body with warmth and strength.

Brad’s cock presses into me from behind and he grips my hips tighter, breathing down over the lobe of my ear. “Is this any better, honey?”

I can barely find words to reply, but I manage a soft sigh that seems to appease him as I situate my ass over top of his penis. The pressure of its length against me, paired with the full day of arousal is enough to force an ache so deep within me that I’m not sure how I’m going to get out of this enclosure unscathed. Ineedto be spread wide. It’s no longer desire.

Colin’s hand slides over top my hip as he situates himself in toward me, his rising cock poking me hard from the front. I’ve situated myself with Brad just so, unintentionally allowing Colin’s dick to press into my mound. He’s big and thick, and the more I move, the harder he gets. I shouldn’t like this. I shouldn’t like both of them pressing into me. In fact, I should tell them all exactly what I’m feeling… except I don’t. I only continue to wiggle as I imagine what it would feel like to have them go beyond the fabric and press into me. I imagine what their groans would sound like as they emptied themselves… all three of them. Brad behind me, Colin in front of me, my lips on Zane’s dick. It’s an unnatural thought and I’ve never had anything like it before, but it shoots a bit of excitement up into my groin, forcing a slight moan from my throat. I slap my hand up over my mouth as though I’m going to cough, muffling the sound before anyone can distinguish where it’s come from, but I wonder if the trick has worked.

My eyes squeeze closed and my clit throbs harder, my core aching to be filled. When they flicker open, my gaze catches Zane who's studying my face. His eyes are glassy and I almost think he’s turned on.Almost.Though it’s hard to tell what he’s thinking about. Earlier, I’d have guessed he was feeling something for me, but he ended things so abruptly that I haven’t been able to decide if it was me feeling things for him or if it was mutual.
