Chapter 40

Alyssa

We're about to celebrate New Year's Eve.

Though I had the best Christmas imaginable, receiving the gift of my 12 men, I'm excited to turn over a new leaf.

And there's nowhere better to do that than Bora-Bora.

After Christmas, the guys and I developed a plan for where we're gonna live. We're buying an estate outside of the city that we can always go to as a kind of retreat. There'll be various penthouses within the city, also for us to go to. It's all about figuring out the logistics of how this relationship is gonna work.

But we decided first thing's first, and that means getting away and celebrating our new lease on life, our new relationship.

Owen booked us a huge vacation house in this magical destination. There's enough space and room for everyone, and though we've only been here a day, I can already feel the ocean breeze permeating my very soul, putting me at ease and in a complete vacation vibe.

Right now, I'm standing by the outdoor bar, looking out over the ocean. The sun is beginning to set, and it's a magical scene.

Ty comes over to me, looking really hot in his casual slacks and beachy shirt. I can just make out the lines of his abs through the thin T-shirt. Seeing him turns me on immediately.

“Alyssa, can I make you something from the bar?” he asks.

He kisses me on the cheek, and fluttery sensations form in my belly, just as they do every time he touches me.

“I'll have whatever you're having, Ty. What should we drink tonight?”

He thinks a second, “Let's see…we could make Sex On The Beach cocktails.”

I smile at the innuendo. What does he have in mind?

“Sex On The Beach it is!”

Theo comes out to join us for the most beautiful sunset I think I’ve ever seen.

He says, “What are we making out here?”

“Ty is making us a couple Sex On The Beach cocktails. Want one?”

He gets a ravenous look in his eyes and says, “Of course.”

Theo pulls me in for a kiss as Ty mixes up the cranberry juice, orange juice, and other ingredients in a shaker.

He hands me the drink, and I pull away from Theo's gorgeous lips to take his hand.

“Do you think we should drink these on the beach?” I ask.

They agree, and Ty takes the silver tray to the sandy shores where the rhythmic ocean is washing back and forth.

We sit on the beach for a while, just the three of us staring out across the ocean and the flaming orange and pink sky. Nothing could be better. Nothing could be more beautiful.

I finish my drink, and it takes the edge off. Being with 12 guys at once always comes with a potential risk factor?the risk that my heart will explode out of pure lust and bliss.

Theo and Ty are kissing me and stripping me out of my bikini. I feel a warm sensation rise within me, and I already feel ready to come.

Then I see Ford and Finn coming out to the beach to join us. They're taking in the view with hungry eyes.

“Are you guys enjoying the sunset?” Ford says.

“We're doing more than that,” Theo says.
