I carried my drink over to the couch and squeezed in between the two of them. Johnny held his phone out so all of us could watch, and hit play. The video was quick: a bull exploded out of the starting gate, with a cowboy on its back. The bull bucked two times, then a third, and the cowboy flew to the dirt.

“Back up,” Eli said, leaning closer to me to see. “Show that last part again.”

My next breath brought Eli’s scent to my nose, along with Johnny’s. I was acutely aware that I hadn’t had sex since the hotel room with Sawyer. That felt like an eternity. Which wascrazy, considering I’d had a six-month long dry spell before sleeping with Johnny.

“Looks intentional to me,” Eli said, pointing. “Like he let himself fall off.”

“Sure does,” Johnny agreed. “Maybe we can contact him and find out. But if he accepted bribery money, I doubt he’ll want to admit it now.”

Eli groaned and took a long pull from his drink. “This is depressing. Let’s talk about somethin’ more excitin’.” He turned to look at me. “What kind of hardware is Sawyer working with?”

I almost spit out my drink with laughter.

“Seriously?” Johnny asked.

“What?” Eli demanded. “I want to know. He walks around like he’s got a tree branch down there, but maybe he’s just compensatin’.”

Both of them looked at me.

“Are you sure you want to know?” I asked with a smile.

Eli groaned. “That means he’s big.”

“He’s not small,” I admitted. “But it’s not the size that matters. It’s how you use it.”

“Yeah, but it’s even better if you’ve gotboth,” Eli said, elbowing me.

Johnny snickered, but said nothing.

Wedged between them on the couch, I thought about being with Sawyer. I had been forward with what I wanted, and he responded in the best possible way. Would these two appreciate the same bluntness?

Only one way to find out.

“So,” I said. “Were you two serious about a threesome or not?”

Eli coughed. Johnny stared over at me with a thoughtful expression.

“Didn’t we make it clear already?” Eli asked. “I don’t know about Johnny over there, but I wasn’t joking.”

“Maybe,” Johnny said.

“Just maybe?” Eli asked before I could.

“I’ve never done that before,” Johnny replied. “Not sure if I’ll like it or not.”

“Where’s your sense of adventure?” Eli teased. “I’d be a good partner. I can share. Hell, I promise not to make eye contact, if that’s what you’re afraid of.”

“Or does it intimidate you having another penis in bed with you?” I said to Johnny with a disarming smile.

The blond man snorted. “That’s not a problem. I’ve had to see Eli’s dick a lot this week.”

“I don’t know why everyone is harpin’ on me for that,” Eli complained. “It’s a locker room. That’s the one place I’m allowed to hang dong and not get judged for it!”

“Itwasfunny how uncomfortable it made Salmon’s henchmen,” Johnny admitted.

I felt like we were getting off topic, so I cleared my throat. “I won’t tell you the exact size of Sawyer’s manhood. But I will tell you something he did that I really liked.” I looked at Eli. “He was in charge. He didn’t play around.” I turned back to Johnny. “He took what he wanted.”

I chugged the rest of my drink in three gulps, then wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. I rose from the couch, took a few steps toward my bedroom, and turned back to face them. My heart was pounding—even though I had already slept with thetwo of them separately, it made me nervous to be thisforwardwith them.
