He kissed me then, before I could say a word, and I let myself melt against him.

“Look, why don’t you soak a little longer, and then go change?”

“Into?”

“There’s a dress on your bed.”

“What’s the plan tonight?”

Damien stood and grinned. “Tonight, we wine, dine, and take you dancing.”

“All for me, huh?”

“Tonight, Arianna, we treat you like the queen you are.”

He winked as he started to move towards the door.

“Hey, Damien?”

He turned back.

“Thanks. For telling me, I mean.”

He held my gaze another second and smiled before ducking from the bathroom.

And wine and dine me they did. Dinner was fresh caught seafood overlooking the very ocean it’d been fished from, washed down with phenomenal wine, and topped off with laughter and lingering touches and kisses from all three of them. A live island band took the stage as dinner was cleared, and before I knew it, I was being brought out on the dance floor to be twirled, dipped, and swung by all three of them.

I couldn’trememberbeing this happy. I couldn’t remember ever feeling as close to perfect as I did surrounded by them — laughing, kissing, and just having the time of my life with the three of them.

My knights.

Later, we were back at the cabana, all of us lounging on the big open deck that jutted out over the water. I was laying draped across the three of them, watching the moonlight and stars flicker across the waves as we sipped cold beers and just sat there in perfect silence.

“This is pretty good,” I said finally.

Hunter, who’s lap I had my head on, grinned as he leaned down and kissed me. “Agreed.”

Damien’s strong hands rubbed my feet. “Look, Ari, this is…”

“This is uncharted ground for us. For all of us,” Sean butted in. “Nothing that came before felt like this.”

I swallowed, feeling my pulse skip. “Like this, huh?”

“You know what we mean, because you’re feeling it too,” Hunter murmured.

I nodded. “Maybe.”

Sean chuckled, leaning over me to press his lips to mine.

And then he lingered. Slowly, my lips parted for him, his tongue slipping inside as the kiss grew fiercer. That familiar fire started inside of me — the fire just being around them seemed to kindle. I moaned softly as Sean kissed me deeper and harder.

Hunter shifted, moving out from underneath me and letting me sink back into the big lounger we rested on. With feather touches and teasing kisses, the men slowly began to pull the clothes from my body. My dress slipped up, over my head and dropped away, panties sliding down my legs.

I moaned as I lay back in the lounger, watching the men strip down bare, tattooed muscles on full display. I started to sit up, but Sean stopped me with a finger to my lips.
