“No, really! I got lost as a kid and while everyone was panicking and calling the police I was sitting in the storage room of a candy shop. They found me in a twenty-pound bag of gummies, passed out after gorging myself on them.”
Luke, the man who’d protested Jason calling me a bitch, turned his beer up and then shook his head. His hair was shaggy enough on top that it fell over his forehead in a dirty blonde mess that he immediately shoved off back into place. “You would’ve given me a stroke.”
I leaned back on the blanket they’d put down for me and grinned.
I was having a shockingly good time. There really had been chocolate chunk and cowboy cookies so I was a happy camper.
The company was pretty good, too. Each of them were interesting and fun to talk to. They were also all so easy on the eyes.
Luke was just as hot as Cole and Ben looked like Scott Eastwood’s hotter cousin.
Even in the darkness by the lake I couldn’t stop blushing whenever they looked at me.
And they were looking at me a lot. There were so many muscles on display and my previously dormant libido was singing Ginuwine’s “Pony” at the top of its lungs.
“My parents used to say I aged the entire neighborhood by twenty years just by existing.” I took another cowboy cookie and shoved nearly half of it in my mouth. It was so good that I couldn’t contain a happy moan. “Who made these? I want to marry them.”
“That’d be Mary.” Ben raised a single eyebrow at me. “I think she’s already married, though.”
“The good ones always are.” I laid back all the way and stared up at the stars in the sky. There were so many and without the light pollution from town it was like I could reach up and grab a handful like sprinkles.
“We must not be good ones, huh?” Cole grumbled in that deep voice of his and leaned over me to grab a cookie. “Guess I shouldn’t get my hopes up.”
I blinked as the stars were blotted out by his face.
Looking down at me the way he was made me picture filthy things that I had no business picturing.
Still, I couldn’t help staring back at him and enjoying the way his breath smelled like chocolate.
“Y-you smell like chocolate. I-I think that automatically makes you a good one.”
Ben pushed Cole away and then leaned down to bite the rest of the cookie I was holding. His lips brushed my fingers and his nose bumped into the bare skin on my side where my shirt had ridden up. “These cookies are delicious.”
I sucked in a sharp breath and sat straight up. “Oh, wow. Wow, wow, wow. Okay, yep. Wow. I should probably go back to my room. It’s late and you guys are… Yep. So, I’m just going to take these cookies and run along.”
I shot to my feet but the blanket was bunched and in my mission to snatch all their cookies and run I got tangled up and went down hard, right on top of Luke. We both grunted as our bodies collided but while I tried to roll away he gripped my hips and held me still.
“I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to-”
“You were going to steal all the cookies? Little thief.” Luke grinned up at me. “Too bad for you, I’m not done with my dessert.”
I pressed my hands to the ground on either side of his head and let out an awkward laugh.
“I don’t think I understand what’s happening here.
Are you guys…flirting with me? It’s been so long that I’m not exactly sure I’d know what it looks like anymore so maybe I’m reading this wrong and you’re all just friendly.
Oh, god. That’s it, isn’t it? This is going to go in the books as being one of my most embarrassing moments.
Before it tops the time I got lost while jogging and ended up at a cemetery, speaking at a grave-side service I should go.
So, I’m just going to slip out of here if you don’t mind.
I’ll just move this knee over here and get off-”
“And if we are flirting with you?” Cole gripped my thigh and stopped me from crawling off Luke. “Who would you choose?”
I gaped at him. “You’re kidding.”
Luke’s grip on my waist tightened just enough to get my attention. “Pretty clear that we’re all three interested, Cupcake. The question is what you’re going to do about it.”
Ben stroked his hand down my hair and then lightly squeezed the base of my neck. “They’re right. We’re definitely flirting with you. I’ve had my eyes on you since day one.”
My voice was shrill as I spoke. “I haven’t had sex in over eight years and now you think I’m supposed to have my shit together enough to choose between the three of you? That’s insane!”
“So your issue’s the choosing part.” Cole slid his hand higher on my thigh. “Not the sex with one of us part?”
“Sex?”
“You’re the one who said sex first.” His grin was pure mischief.
“I mean… How am I even supposed to choose? This is insanity. I didn’t come here for this.
I just needed a vacation.” I could admit that my laugh sounded manic.
“Someone in the stars has to have a sense of humor. No one’s looked twice at me for eight years and suddenly there’s three of you touching me like this?
Maybe I am ready for sex finally but what the hell do I know about choosing a lover?
The last one I picked had a tiny dick and a tinier sense of right and wrong.
I’m not qualified to make any kind of choice. ”
Ben laughed like he found himself in our very situation all the time and couldn’t have been more relaxed about it. “That’s fair. If only you could test drive men like you test drive cars.”
Three things happened at once. A heavy silence fell over us. A fire erupted in my lower stomach. And the most shocking one, Luke grew very hard beneath me. I gasped and looked down at him but he stared back at me with a challenge in his eyes.
“I mean… You could.” He licked his lips and then flicked his gaze to his friends. “Test drive us, I mean.”
I snorted, fully expecting the other two men to laugh and put an end to whatever was happening between us. They didn’t laugh, though, and when I looked at them, I found them shrugging and nodding along. “You want me to test drive each of you?!”
“Why not? This way you won’t get stuck with a small dicked fuck who can’t make you come on the one night in eight-years that you decide to let go.
” Cole’s hand was hot and huge as he slid it farther inside my thighs.
Even without touching me where my body was demanding it most, he still had me ready to beg for more.
“It’s one night, Cupcake. You’ll never have to face us again if you don’t want to. ”
“Give yourself the right to have a little fun.” Ben shifted my hair to the side and pressed his lips to my neck. “You’re safe here with us. None of us would ever hurt you. As soon as you make your pick, these two guys will leave.”
The fact that I could laugh while facing down three crazy hot men who wanted to have sex with me made me feel a little stronger.
They wanted me, that much was clear, and I wasn’t self-depriving enough to walk away because it felt a little taboo.
I straightened my shoulders and looked around the area.
We were secluded enough with the woods on three sides and the lake behind us.
I would never get another chance at what they were offering.
"Okay." I looked at the three of them looking at me.
"Show me what's on the lot."
