“You two had athreesometogether?” I blurted out. Even just saying the word felt vulgar. Crossing a line.

“Technically, Eskimo brothers just means we’ve slept with the same woman,” Noah explained.

“But also yes to your question,” Ash said.

I sat up a little straight. My entire body had come alive with curiosity. “You shared a woman? In bed?”

“That’s what threesome means,” Ash replied dryly. “Although no to the bed part.”

The base of my stomach tingled with excitement. No bed. Did that mean it was on the ground, or a couch, or… a thousand possibilities ran through my mind.

“It was a while ago,” Noah said, cracking open another beer. “Two years ago, I think?”

I waited for him to go on, but he didn’t say anything more.

“You can’t end the story there,” I demanded. “You have to tell me more.”

Ash raised an eyebrow at me, then leaned back on an elbow casually.

“I don’t know,” Noah said. “I don’t like to kiss and tell…”

“No,” I snapped. “There’s absolutely no universe where you randomly mention a threesome you and Ash had, anddon’telaborate. So either you tell me the rest of the story, or I go home right now.”

Ash rumbled with soft laughter. Noah shot him an annoyed look, then turned back to me.

“I got matched up with a woman on Tinder. We didn’t have much in common, so there was no future there, but wedidhave chemistry in bed. At least, for a couple of weeks. Things were starting to fizzle out, and both of us knew it. The whole thing had run its course. No big deal. Then she told me about a fantasy she’d always wanted to have.”

He paused to sip his beer, so I did the same with mine.

“She’d had a threesome before. She was the third for another couple, a man and a woman. But she’d always wanted to have a threesome with two men.” The campfire shone in his blue eyes, and he ran a nervous hand through his hair. “I told her I’d never done that before, but would give it a try. And when she asked if I knew anyone who would be interested…”

Noah gestured at Ash, who shrugged.

“We did it once, and then that was that. We split up amicably a few days later.”

“Wow, it must have been bad if you guys broke up right after,” I mused.

Noah smirked. “It definitely wasn’t bad.”

“Really?”

He shared another look with Ash, and I saw something that surprised me. For the first time since I’d met him, the huge tattooed man wasgrinning.

“It was great,” Noah said.

“Fucking hot as hell,” Ash agreed.

My entire body was alive with curiosity, now. “Tell me about it.”

“What, uh, more do you want to know?”

“How it started. Where it happened. What you did afterward. This is all new to me, so I want details!”

Noah seemed nervous as he stared into the fire. Then his gaze collided with mine with an intensity that surprised me. “We met here, at my house. I’d just moved in after construction was finished. We had a few drinks first, chatting and relaxing in the living room. Getting comfortable together. She kissed me first, then made out with Ash while I watched. Then… it happened.”
