We walk away from the lapping shoreline. “We’re heading inside,” I tell him.
“I’ll be right there,” he replies. His breath crystalizes in the night.
I chase Kenzi inside. The sand grows cold under my bare feet, and we do our best to kick it off on the mat in front of the screen doors.
We slip inside, and I pull the glass door closed behind us. Immediately, Kenzi hugs herself and shivers. “God, the winters get brutal here,” she says.
I slip my hands over her sides and rub over the soft curves of her body. “I’ll warm you up.”
She grins up at me. “You’re handsy.”
“Do you want me to stop?”
“I should say yes,” she says.
“Probably,” I tell her.
“Probably.”
For a moment, we just stare at each other. Shivering.
“Fuck it,” Kenzi says. She grabs my shirt and pulls me in.
We’re kissing again. God. I love kissing her. This time she opens up more to me, letting me inside her mouth. I taste her tongue, and she moans, a sound that vibrates through me and makes me diamond-hard.
We stumble through the house, and I lose my footing. We fall on the couch together, and she takes the breath out of me when her body collapses on top of mine.
Kenzi cackles, and the sound warms the entire house.

I stay outside a little longer, wrestling with my demons.
Seeing them kiss like that…it woke something up in me I thought was dead.
I want nothing more than to get in the middle of them.
But there’s something inside of me, aching. Something I’ve kept bottled up for over a decade. Because the truth—the real, capital T Truth of it all—is that I’ve only ever loved one person in my entire ugly existence.
Kenzi Stratton.
And if her lips touch mine…
I’m afraid my truth will come spilling out.
I steel off my nerves, finish my wine, and tell myself to hold it together. But when I go inside, my resolve immediately cracks.
It’s fireplace warm in here, and they’re laughing on the couch, tangled in each other.
I close the glass door behind me, and I hate that it catches their attention.
Jason breaks away from their kiss. When he grins at me, it’s a dopey grin.
“Hey, man,” he says. “You sticking around?”
They’re both watching me now. Lust in their eyes. Lips swollen from kissing. They want me to come play with them. They’re puppies rolling around in puppy love. They know I’m the stern hand that’ll take them both to their knees.
