I pressed my hands to the ground on either side of his head and let out an awkward laugh. “I don’t think I understand what’s happening here. Are you guys…flirtingwith me? It’s been so long that I’m not exactly sure I’d know what it looks like anymore so maybe I’m reading this wrong and you’re all just friendly. Oh, god. That’s it, isn’t it? This is going to go in the books as being one of my most embarrassing moments. Before it tops the time I got lost while jogging and ended up at a cemetery, speaking at a grave-side service I should go. So, I’m just going to slip out of here if you don’t mind. I’ll just move this knee over here and get off-”
“And if we are flirting with you?” Cole gripped my thigh and stopped me from crawling off Luke. “Who would you choose?”
I gaped at him. “You’re kidding.”
Luke’s grip on my waist tightened just enough to get my attention. “Pretty clear that we’re all three interested, Cupcake. The question is what you’re going to do about it.”
Ben stroked his hand down my hair and then lightly squeezed the base of my neck. “They’re right. We’re definitely flirting with you. I’ve had my eyes on you since day one.”
My voice was shrill as I spoke. “I haven’t had sex in over eight years and now you think I’m supposed to have my shit together enough to choose between the three of you? That’s insane!”
“So your issue’s the choosing part.” Cole slid his hand higher on my thigh. “Not the sex with one of us part?”
“Sex?”
“You’re the one who said sex first.” His grin was pure mischief.
“I mean… How am I even supposed to choose? This is insanity. I didn’t come here for this. I just needed a vacation.” I could admit that my laugh sounded manic. “Someone in the stars has to have a sense of humor. No one’s looked twice at me for eight years and suddenly there’s three of you touching me like this? Maybe I am ready for sex finally but what the hell do I know about choosing a lover? The last one I picked had a tiny dick and a tinier sense of right and wrong. I’m not qualified to make any kind of choice.”
Ben laughed like he found himself in our very situation all the time and couldn’t have been more relaxed about it. “That’s fair. If only you could test drive men like you test drive cars.”
Three things happened at once. A heavy silence fell over us. A fire erupted in my lower stomach. And the most shocking one, Luke grewveryhard beneath me. I gasped and looked down at him but he stared back at me with a challenge in his eyes.
“I mean… You could.” He licked his lips and then flicked his gaze to his friends. “Test drive us, I mean.”
I snorted, fully expecting the other two men to laugh and put an end to whatever was happening between us. They didn’t laugh, though, and when I looked at them, I found them shrugging and nodding along. “You want me to test drive each of you?!”
“Why not? This way you won’t get stuck with a small dicked fuck who can’t make you come on the one night in eight-years that you decide to let go.” Cole’s hand was hot and huge as he slid it farther inside my thighs. Even without touching me where my body was demanding it most, he still had me ready to beg formore. “It’s one night, Cupcake. You’ll never have to face us again if you don’t want to.”
“Give yourself the right to have a little fun.” Ben shifted my hair to the side and pressed his lips to my neck. “You’re safe here with us. None of us would ever hurt you. As soon as you make your pick, these two guys will leave.”
The fact that I could laugh while facing down three crazy hot men who wanted to have sex with me made me feel a little stronger. They wanted me, that much was clear, and I wasn’t self-depriving enough to walk away because it felt a little taboo. I straightened my shoulders and looked around the area. We were secluded enough with the woods on three sides and the lake behind us. I would never get another chance at what they were offering.
"Okay." I looked at the three of them looking at me.
"Show me what's on the lot."

I was going to die right there beside my desk with Oliver watching me. Every single dirty thing I’d done with the three men back at the lake flashed through my brain like it had every single night since. The difference was I wasn’t in bed with the vibrator I’d purchased after the retreat, I was standing in front of a classroom full of parents waiting on me to talk with them about their kids and my plans for the school year.
It felt like my entire body was burning up. I reached up to touch my forehead and found it covered in sweat. “Oh, jeez.”
Oliver was watching me too closely and I knew he was about to say something that would humiliate me. “Mom, you’re sweating excessively and breathing faster than normal. You’re vermilion. That’s not your normal shade.”
“O-kay, Oliver!” I skirted around my desk and lightly gripped the top of his head. “T-thanks for that. Okay, everyone, let’s get started, shall we? I’m so sorry I’m a few minutes late. The printerin the teacher’s lounge was out to get me. Um, let me pass out these forms that go over the supplies the kids need and a few more basic things before we really get into it.”
My hands were shaking like crazy and I couldn’t imagine how I was going to get through the night. I grabbed the papers and fanned myself with them. I had to approach the guys. I couldn’t avoid them, even if I felt like I would die if I had to face them. I just wouldn’t be able to look them in the eye. Ever. Not when they knew the exact shape of my body and the sounds I made when I came.
“Oh, god, stop thinking about it.” I muttered under my breath and went to move back around my desk. Unfortunately, Oliver had pulled out the bottom drawer to grab a sheet of paper and I didn’t see it. I slammed my right shin into it and jerked forward as pain made my eyes water. I barely held in a string of curses as the stupid papers slipped from my hand and scattered across the floor.
“Mom, you dropped the papers.”
One of the dads I hadn’t slept with under the stars hurried to help me pick up everything before nodding to my leg. “At least we know you’ll never lose your cool in front of your class. If that didn’t break you, nothing can.”
