Chase chuckled. “So far you’re batting a thousand.”
“And you lured me in there,” I said, remembering. “And then…”
My eyes abruptly went wide. My two lovers broke out laughing at the same time.
“HOLY shit.”
“Now that definitely calls for a ‘holy shit’,” Chase agreed.
I reached for a chair and sat down. My legs suddenly felt heavier than they ought to be.
“You remember when we—”
“That was fucking amazing,” I breathed. Recollections of last night began crashing over me in broken waves. The memories gave me instant goosebumps. “The most incredible thing I ever—”
“Ah, so you do remember.”
“Oh, I remember!” I assured them. Gingerly I crossed one leg over the other, suddenly hyper-aware of being satisfyingly sore.
“That’s a relief,” Nathan said. “Because we were… well, if I do say so, we were on last night.”
Chase fist-bumped him as he flipped the eggs. Actually fist-bumped him! For double-fucking me!
Oh please, the little voice in my head chided. You know you love it.
“It would be a shame if you lost that memory,” said Chase. He smiled at Nathan slyly. “Not that we couldn’t repeat it, of course, but—”
“What happened afterward?” I asked. “Besides one of you putting my shorts on backwards.”
Nathan looked me over again. “Inside out and backwards,” he smirked, sliding me a glass of water. “And… that would be Burke.”
I looked down and chuckled. Of course.
“Afterward, we all got dressed and dried off by the fire,” Chase said matter-of-factly. “We thought you might get a second wind, but no dice. I think you were in Burke’s arms when you passed out for good.”
I eyed them shrewdly. “So you guys… didn’t get to…”
“Nope.”
Chase passed me a plate of eggs that, for once, weren’t runny. I felt a swell of pride. He was clearly learning.
“Sorry,” I said finally, dropping my gaze.
“Oh please,” Nathan said. “We still had fun.”
“Lots of fun,” Chase winked.
“Yes but—”
“Yes but nothing,” Nathan smiled. “You’re always doing for us. Always making things about us.”
Chase nodded in agreement as he slid me a fork and a napkin. I took both gratefully.
“It was nice, just this once, to make something all about you.”
