“I’m asking you.”Van crossed his arms, trying not to unravel further.“Will you help me seduce her and make sure she’s so fucking satisfied she can’t run away for a week?I figure we’ll need at least that long so we can try to figure out what we all want for the future.”
Ollie grinned.“I thought you’d never ask.”
“So you don’t think she’ll freak out?My balls have barely recovered from last time she kneed me.”Van winced.“I’m holding you in front of me like a human shield if she goes off again.”
“You deserved it.”Ollie rolled his eyes.
“I know.”Van groaned.“That made it hurt twice as fucking bad.I’m trying to do the right thing, but I keep fucking up.I can’t keep doing that, not with her and not with you.”
“Me?”Ollie whipped his head around.
“Yeah.I’m sorry I screwed things up for you that night and maybe now by having to tag along.”Van cleared his throat.“And also for giving you a black eye.”
“Apology accepted.Thank you.”Ollie held his hand out, and Van shook it.“For the record, you’re not messing things up now.This is what she wants, and maybe this is how it was meant to be all along.There’s a reason you two aren’t already a couple and why she and I aren’t either.Maybe we need each other to really make this work.”
“So how are we going to do this?”Van asked.
“Do what?”Kyra wondered as she appeared around the hood of the van carrying her toiletry bag.She’d taken a shower in the unlimited hot water of the campground’s facilities and looked even more amazing without her makeup, her hair falling in damp waves around her face.
Ollie looked at Van and gestured wildly.“Just say it.”
“We want to fuck you.Together.”
Ollie smacked his forehead.“A smidgeon of tact would have been okay.”
Kyra dropped her bag in the dirt, utterly forgotten.Had they shocked her?She looked between Ollie and Van, then said, “This isn’t some kind of joke, is it?”
Ollie shook his head no and Van confirmed it.“We’re not kidding around.We’re serious about you.About this.”
“What the hell are we doing out here then?”Kyra raced past them and leapt into the van, shedding her clothes as she crossed the short span to the bed.
Van would have told her to stop, so he could do it himself and take his damn time at it too, but when he saw her baring her porcelain skin and the colorful ink decorating it, he was too mesmerized to bark orders.Instead, he followed her lead, toeing off his boots and hopping out of his jeans as Ollie shut the door and put the privacy screens in the windows.
Whether or not he was entirely ready, they were about to find out if this was the best decision he’d ever made or the worst mistake of his life.
