“Sam?” Aydan looks worried.

I let out a deep breath and glance toward the solitary king bed in the cabin. “It’s been awhile since we left home, which means I need to cover my scent soon.”

Silence stretches between them. Even though we’ve all had a lot to drink, I can see them working out what that means in their heads, and they’re probably coming to the same conclusion as I had.

“I’ll do it. I mean, Evander was with you last, so it’s my turn,” Aydan says.

Evander’s eyes narrow. “Like hell.”

I lift my hands to calm both of them and shift on the couch, so that my feet are on the floor and I can watch both of them. “The blue dragon is somewhere around here. If we don’t cover up my scent, there’s no way I’ll be safe.”

“It should be me,” Aydan says.

Evander snorts. “Really? Why?”

“Because she actually loves me.”

Evander flinches. “It should be me. I was a dragon first.”

“Like that matters,” Aydan says, his voice a notch louder.

“I claimed her first. She’s mine.”

“Fuck you!” Aydan’s hands are curled into fists.

“You know it’s true,” Evander taunts. “You’re only around because youhappenedto shift into a dragon too. If you didn’t, she and I would be here alone.”

“But Ididshift into a dragon, so none of that matters.” Aydan seriously looks like he’s going to punch the other man.

How did it go from being so fun to this? Everything always falls apart when we involve sex in our relationship. If I didn’t need one of them to sleep with me, I’d throw them both outside.

I lift my hands up again. Evander is calmer, but I’ve realized with him that doesn’t mean we’re safe. He just hides his anger better than Aydan.

“I don’t want to fight about this. How about we just have sex one at a time?”

Aydan scoffs. “What? And I’m supposed to just hang out in the bathroom and listen to you two fuck when it’s his turn?”

Evander gives him a dirty look. “I’ll kill him if he touches you.”

“One of you could go out in your dragon form until we’re done, and then we can switch…”

“No,” Aydan says, folding his arms over his chest.

“Not a chance.” And I get the feeling Evander is seriously thinking about jumping across me and beating the shit out of Aydan.

I sigh. “Well then, what about at the same time?”

Silence.

Aydan blinks at me slowly. “At the same time? As in…?”

It’s logical, but I wasn’t serious.Or was I? Hadn’t this thought occurred to me before?“I just meant, if you were both busy fucking me, you won’t have time or energy to spend being angry at each other.”

The more I say, the more it makes sense.

Evander leans closer to me and whispers, “I would kill him if I saw him with you.”

“Not before I killed you,” Aydan shoots right back.
