“So you like helping people, and you’re good at it,” Rick continued in a louder voice.
“We’ve established that you work for a doctor’s office at home in Pennsylvania. But I’m still confused as to why you won’t tell me who sent you, or even your last name.”
Because I don’t want you to hear the name Tanner and back away. I don’t want you to compare me to your precious memories of Elise and find me so inadequate by comparison.
Lilah shrugged prettily. “I like an air of mystery, what can I say? You have so many gorgeous, naked, and sexual people at your every beck and call. I want to be different,” she teased. “I don’t want you to forget me so soon once I’m gone.”
Rick didn’t smile. In fact, his lips thinned. “I won’t forget you, Lilah.”
Trevor sat up. “Nobody’s going anywhere anytime soon. Not with a nut stalking Rick. I talked to Tyrone, and he said the other guy is still on the loose. They thought they’d had him, but they lost him again. He could be anywhere on the island.”
“Great, just what I wanted to hear.” Rick shook his head.
“Right, well.” She felt uncomfortable at thoughts of leaving. Sadness lingered, and she worked to break the unwelcome feeling. Lilah had always been one to live in the moment, and she didn’t intend to taint however long she had left of this wonderful vacation by dreading what tomorrow would bring. “Maybe you can answer me a question.”
“Shoot.” Rick reclined back in the lounger, half-sitting, and positioned her on top of him, her back to his front. He hugged her tight, and she caught the unmistakable sign of his arousal pressing against her ass.
“Why Satyr’s Myst? Inheriting all that money, you could have focused more on other business concerns. So why buy a private island in the Caribbean and turn it into a sex resort?”
“Good question.” Trevor stood and walked around the pool, sitting in the lounger next to them. “Spill it, Rick. Why’d you set this place up?”

“Because I needed somewhere to be me.” Rick caressed Lilah’s belly with soft strokes, as if absentmindedly touching her while he sought more of his answer. But Lilah couldn’t help focusing on his hands, and she noticed Trevor’s gaze caught there too.
“I’ve always been the odd man out.” Rick nuzzled her cheek and laughed. “I can see my being odd doesn’t seem to surprise either one of you. As a child I was drawn to Roman antiques and history. Reveled in the mythology surrounding the gods and their licentious behavior. I wanted to be Bacchus so badly. He’s the god of wine and debauchery, by the way.”
“Figures,” Trevor said with a smile.
“As a teenager I thought about sex all the time. And I thought about it with women and men. Even then I knew I was attracted to both genders. And it never bothered me, except that I had to keep it hidden. I didn’t feel ashamed of my needs, but I knew to fit in I had to keep my sexuality private. I mean, it’s one thing to be gay. It’s not really a plus, but at least you’re making a statement about who you are. But most people don’t understand bisexuality. They think you’re playing at being gay or straight, and it’s like you get less respect because you’re ‘indecisive.’”
Trevor nodded, and Lilah thought about it. She’d never met anyone who liked both men and women before. Here, with Rick and Trevor, the situation felt natural. Neither man acted freakish or ultra-feminine or masculine. They simply acted themselves. But how would their situation look on the outside? Hell, she had enough of a hard time admitting to wanting two men at once. What would her prudish cousin and family think if they knew what she’d done?
She colored.
Rick continued. “Most people can’t accept it. And God forbid you want two partners at once. You’re labeled ‘a freak,’ ‘a nympho,’ and ‘a pervert.’”
“I have a thing for perverts,” Trevor said with a wink.

“That’s because you are one,” Rick said, and she could imagine him smiling. His hands made larger circles on Lilah’s belly, and he shifted beneath her, his cock steel-hard. “I like sex, and I make no bones about it. For a long time I just wanted to be accepted for who I am.
Not because of my money or my name. But for me.”
Lilah wanted so badly to ask about Elise at that moment but knew she had no business prying into that quagmire.
“So I built this club where I could be free to live as I see fit. And others with similar needs can join me here, indulge in fantasies without judgment and without consequence.
That’s why I’m such a stickler for safe sex. No chance of pregnancies or disease, and you’re free to revel in pleasure from the day you arrive until the day you leave.”
“But you’re around sex all the time.” Lilah chewed her lip and stopped Rick’s roving hands with her own. “Don’t you get tired of it?”
“Yes.” Rick sighed and pushed his hands through hers, petting her again. “You have the sexiest belly I’ve ever touched. Let me.”
“Yeah, let him. It’s turning me on,” Trevor added. “Great abs. You could bounce a damned brick off them,” he said in a gritty voice, his erection prominent as he spread his thighs and stared at her.
“You two are going to give me a complex,” she grumbled, pleased yet discomfited with their constant praise. Yet she couldn’t accuse them of lying to her. Their constant arousal and need to touch her spoke differently. “So, Rick” -- she tried to refocus -- “if you’re tired of it, why are you still here? You have enough money to go anywhere and do anything you want.”
She felt him shrug behind her. “I don’t know. For so long this has been home. And I’m a bit out of touch with reality, I admit.” He quieted, and she waited, sensing he was about to tell them something important. “A few years ago I fell in love with someone. I thought she was the one I’d been waiting for my whole life. But it didn’t work out.”
“That sucks.” Trevor shook his head.

“Yeah. But you know, now when I look back on my time with her, I can see we would never have worked.”
“Why not?” Lilah could clearly see pretty Elise next to gorgeous Rick. She was slight, he was built. She was exotic and dark-haired, Rick had golden blond hair and the face of a wicked angel. And she could admit she genuinely liked them both.
“Because I needed more than Elise could give me. I need a woman…and a man.”
Trevor’s gaze zeroed in on Rick’s face, and Lilah could feel the intensity growing between the three of them.
“I’ve played around a lot. I admit it,” Rick said quietly. “But I want love and affection the same as anybody else. I just happen to need it from two people, not just one.”
“Oh, and, er, Elise couldn’t handle that?” Lilah knew the answer, but perversely wanted to hear him say it.
Rick sat up straighter and turned her face to meet his. “I didn’t ask her back then, because I didn’t know. But no, I don’t think she would have been able to handle it if she couldn’t even handle a monogamous relationship. Could you?”
Lilah stared at him and pondered the answer to the question she’d been asking herself since she’d first engaged both Rick and Trevor at the same time. Could she? Did she have it in her to flaunt convention and live with two men so different from each other and herself?
A hypothetical query, surely, but she had never been one to settle for anything less than the truth.
“I could…if my partners truly loved me. If I found two people I connected with, on every level, I wouldn’t let common prejudices stop me.”
Rick’s intense blue eyes flared with heat, and he smiled. “Good answer.” He looked as if he’d kiss her, but instead he settled back down and pulled her against him again, those damned hands of him dancing over her stomach.

She faced Trevor with what probably appeared to be an expression of frustration.
“What about you, Trevor?” she asked boldly. She and Rick had bared their souls. It was his turn.
“That’s not an easy question.” He folded his hands over his lap, and she lamented her blocked view. “The family I grew up in, my friends and coworkers, well, they’re all pretty conservative. I spent a lot of time in the police department, and gays aren’t that accepted, though the force is starting to come around, slowly. I don’t know that any of my friends could handle a bisexual, let alone a guy engaged in an ongoing threesome.”
Lilah felt for him, yet the Trevor she’d come to know seemed so much stronger than that. “So you’d let your friends and family dictate your actions?” Rick felt tense beneath her, and she realized it was more than sexual frustration filling him. He needed to hear the
“right” answer from Trevor as well.
“No. I didn’t say that. I just said it wasn’t an easy question.” He exhaled heavily and took off his glasses, and Lilah clearly saw the turmoil in eyes so dark they looked black. “I’ve never been with a man before Rick.” He frowned, and she knew how uncomfortable the conversation must be for him. Yet he pursued it anyway. “And the women I’ve been with, frankly, weren’t all that satisfying. But you, Lilah, you’re special.” Trevor cleared his throat.
“And so are you, Rick.”
Rick’s hands stilled over Lilah.
“Which is why I’m really getting tired of all this.” Trevor stood suddenly, and Lilah worried. He was tired “of all this”? What the hell did that mean? He wanted off the island?
He didn’t like sharing her, or was it Rick he didn’t like sharing? Or was the whole idea of a threesome too hard for him?
“I don’t understand.” Rick shifted under her again, and Trevor began pacing, the ridge in his trunks stiffly at attention.

Trevor cursed and mumbled under his breath, then returned to stare down at Rick, his gaze hot. “For the past two weeks, we’ve spent an incredible time together. All of us, or at least, you and Lilah, or me and Lilah. But not you and me, Rick, not since that night. You had your hands all over me. But for the past week you’ve been distant. I mean, hell.” Trevor thrust a hand through his hair and swore again. “Don’t get me wrong. I love Lilah. Honey, you’re hotter than hell. And every time I go down on you, I about come in my shorts. But I thought the idea of a threesome, at least my idea of a threesome, was that it went all the way.”
Lilah heard what he didn’t say, and she understood. Trevor -- huge, growling, and surprisingly shy Trevor -- wanted Rick. She’d wondered herself why Rick hadn’t pursued Trevor after that first day, or hell, after the mind-blowing time in the tree house. But she’d been so consumed with the attention they’d focused on her that she’d put it to the back of her mind. Now that Trevor mentioned it, however, she wanted to know Rick’s answer.
She tried to sit up, but Rick held her firmly against him. “Rick?”
He shocked her by shoving his hands under her bikini bottom. He began caressing her, sliding his fingers through her damp slit. “Finally. I’ve been waiting a long time to hear you admit you want me.”
Trevor looked dumbfounded, his gaze alternating between Lilah’s groin and Rick’s face.
“Are you kidding me?” He ripped his shorts off and stared at the pair of them, his cock impossibly large and wet with arousal. “Does this look like I don’t want you?”
“I don’t know.” Rick’s silky answer and heavenly touch caused shivers to run up and down Lilah’s spine. Good lord, but she was close to coming. “You don’t touch me, only Lilah.
You’ve yet to suck me off, to even come close to my ass since that first day the three of us were together. What am I to think?”
Rick took his other hand and unlaced Lilah’s top, exposing her breasts. He pinched a nipple while his fingers closed around her clit, and Lilah arched against him.

“Quit teasing me, Rick, and be straight with him.” She was panting. She couldn’t help it. Having Rick touch her while Trevor watched aroused her to no end. She could only think of one thing she wanted more…for Rick and Trevor to fuck while she watched.
“Straight?” He chuckled, but his voice was strained. “I’m anything but. Now, Trevor, if you’re serious about wanting what I want, come here.”
Trevor clenched his jaw as he stared down at them with a raging glare.
“I know you have trouble submitting,” Rick said as he moved his clever fingers from Lilah’s sex to the ties at the sides of her bikini bottom holding it in place. “So I’m trying to go easy on you. But it hasn’t been easy for me, either. I want you, Trevor. To fuck you while sexy little Lilah watches and touches herself. To have you eat her sweet pussy while I fuck her, and then have that tongue of yours lick all of me as well.”
Trevor groaned. “That’s closer, but not what I --”
“You what?” Rick untied and ripped away her bikini bottom. Her top followed. Then his hand was back between her legs as he spread her wide. “Tell me.”
“Shit.” Trevor closed the distance between them and knelt between Lilah’s thighs, his arms braced on the sides of the lounger. “I’m so fucking hard it hurts. Damn it, Rick. I want you to fuck me. I want to know what it feels like to belong to Lilah and you.”
His cheeks turned an attractive shade of red, and Lilah smiled up at him. “Hard to say, wasn’t it?”
“Like you wouldn’t believe,” he muttered and lowered his face toward her pussy.
Rick chuckled. “Oh, I think I have an idea of how hard it was.” He ground his cock against her ass. “And I think you’re finally ready.” He took his finger out of Lilah and paused.
“Is this going to work with you, honey?”
“Hell, yes. I’ve been waiting for two weeks to watch you two go at it. Not that I don’t appreciate what you guys do to me.” She moaned when Rick kissed her neck.
“Perfect, then. Trevor, you’re on board with this?”

Trevor’s eyes shifted to Rick’s, and he nodded.
“If at any time you want to stop, tell me.”
“I won’t,” Trevor answered in a thick voice. “Trust me on that.”
Rick’s breath hitched. “You think it’s been hard for you; it’s been just as difficult for me. If it weren’t for Lilah, I’d have gone insane. So she definitely deserves a reward, don’t you think?”
“Oh, yeah.” Trevor focused greedy eyes on her mound.
Rick shoved a thick finger into her again and withdrew it. “Suck it off,” he ordered Trevor.
Trevor leaned forward and took Rick’s finger in his mouth. The pleasure on his face made Lilah desire him even more, if that were possible. And Rick’s soft groan made their play even better.
“I can’t wait to have those lips around my cock,” Rick rasped. “We’ll have to see if you can match Lilah in that department.”
“Mmm.” Trevor’s mouth looked incredibly erotic as he sucked.
“Now put your mouth back over Lilah’s plump little clit.”
Trevor did just that, and Lilah couldn’t help grinding into his face. Trevor had an incredible touch. The pressure within her continued to build as he applied tongue and teeth, forcing her nub to spasm with greed. But she felt so empty inside. She wanted to come with one of them in her.
To her relief, her wish was soon granted. Rick reached beneath her and unzipped his shorts while Trevor kept his mouth glued to her body. And then something hard and hot prodded her ass.
“Spread her,” Rick rasped and angled his cock between her legs. To Lilah’s surprise, Trevor let her go and pushed her higher up on Rick’s body. He pulled Rick’s cock out so that

it stood straight and stiff between her thighs. And then he took the huge thing all the way into his mouth.
Rick cursed and shoved hard up under her. And Lilah chuckled, amused by Trevor’s refusal to obey Rick’s rules.
“Dammit, Trevor.” Rick groaned as Trevor swallowed him balls deep. And then Trevor’s mouth returned to her. His mouth settled over her clit again while he positioned her with strong hands, working Rick’s cock into her pussy.
Rick gripped her hips and began fucking her. Trevor continued to eat her, but every now and again he left her to suckle Rick’s balls. And Rick surged harder into her every time.
“Christ, I can’t hold it any longer.” He groaned and nipped her neck.
“Let it go,” Trevor rumbled and returned to Lilah’s clit. “Both of you. Come for me.”
Lilah wanted to wait but couldn’t. She exploded as Trevor sucked her harder, and soon she felt Rick tense as well.
“Yes, yes,” he moaned as he came inside her. His orgasm lasted a while, and Trevor and Lilah rode it out with him until he was spent.
When Lilah finally relaxed, she felt on fire. In the hot sun, with Rick underneath her and Trevor covering the lower half of her body, she needed to cool down.
“I need some air.”
Trevor grinned up at her and licked his lips, taking the remaining evidence of her passion into his mouth. “You taste like honey. So sweet and addicting. I’m going to need more soon.”
He stood, and his cock bobbed with need. He was wet, fluid dripping down his slit.
“We’ll take care of you in a minute,” Rick said as he gently pushed Lilah up. He stood with her and shook his head. “I need a breather. All the blood’s gone from my head.”
Trevor chuckled, but he sounded strained. “I know.”

“You’re in for it now, Trevor.” Rick smiled, and the sheer carnality of his grin went straight to Lilah’s sex. As if she hadn’t just climaxed into oblivion, she found her tired body gearing up for another go-round. “Wait here.” Rick took Lilah with him toward the showerhead mounted to the outside of the house just a few feet away. They stepped under the blast in full view of the pool and Trevor, and Rick proceeded to gently wash her all over with a bar of coconut soap.
