“But you don’t make the best move for the round,” Ian stated. “I watched you pass up immediate gains, and sometimes I couldn’t figure out why. But you study everything. You consider the pros and cons and have a good eye for figuring out how things will change for several rounds. Every time I thought youpassed up an opportunity, it turned out to be the right move as somebody else got bogged down. That’s not just luck.”
 
 “He’s right,” Beck agreed. “I’ve seen it too. Everybody plays to win, but many times the advantage goes to somebody who can see the bigger picture. Honestly, I’d love to see you develop those skills. You’d start winning tournaments pretty quickly.”
 
 I shook my head. “I’m not that good.”
 
 Ian passed me over to Beck, who kissed my forehead. “But you are.”
 
 Beck settled his hand against the small of my back and guided me into the house, where I was greeted with the familiar sound of Pico’s chirps and the smell of chili.
 
 “Frito pies for dinner,” Freddie informed me as we took off our shoes.
 
 “Hell yeah,” Tony said. “Crunchy, spicy, and cheese.”
 
 I laughed. “I’d never had one before moving here, but they are addicting.”
 
 Freddie looped an arm around Ian’s shoulders. “You’re coming with me to prep garnishes. I’m making you cut the onions.”
 
 “Why me?” Ian protested.
 
 Freddie kissed him. “Because you promised me a morning beej, and failed to deliver.”
 
 “Hey! It’s not my fault Tony had you down his throat before I woke up.”
 
 “You snooze, you lose,” Tony laughed.
 
 “He’s right,” Freddie laughed. “So now you get to cut onions, and I’ll fuck your face later.”
 
 “At least there’s a consolation prize,” Ian muttered.
 
 My dick twitched, and heat spread across my face as I blushed again.
 
 “You ok?” Beck asked. “Too much?”
 
 I shook my head and bit my lip. “I-it’s ok.”
 
 “You sure?”
 
 I nodded.
 
 Why did the thought of Ian sucking Freddie off have me interested all of a sudden?
 
 “Come on,” Beck said, grabbing my hand. “Pico’s finally starting to say to say it.”
 
 I grinned. “Really?”
 
 He nodded. “It’s still a bit mumbly, but I think he’ll be singing ‘I kissed a bird’ clearly pretty soon.”
 
 Beck, Tony, and I headed to the living room, while Freddie and Ian veered off into the kitchen. However, even as I praised Pico on his new phrase, I couldn’t get the mental image of Ian sucking Freddie out of my head.

 The water park was a bad idea.
 
 It had seemed like a great idea when Tony suggested it. The local indoor water park had twice-monthly adults-only nights,and I’d been excited to go swimming without hordes of kids around.
 
 Then I saw the guys in their swim trunks. It was the most skin of theirs I’d seen at once, and it only served to compound my wild thoughts.
 
 Ever since hearing Freddie tease Ian about blowjobs, I’d had increasingly vivid fantasies about the four of them. My imagination supplied me no end of them pleasuring each other.
