Chapter 1
SIENNA
Sienna stood in the hall of her dorm listening to the sound of people fucking.
Normally, in a college dorm that would not be that out of place...except for the fact that she was standing outside of her boyfriend's room.
And since he obviously was not fucking her, then he was fucking someone else.
She put her ear against the door and heard the slap of skin, a woman moaning, a man grunting. Not just any man. It was definitely her boyfriend Austin.
Sienna tried the handle. It was unlocked. She pushed the door open and peered inside the room to find her boyfriend happily exploring another woman's body. Specifically, Amber's body. Amber, who had sworn Sienna was her closest friend.
Instead of anger or jealousy, Sienna felt a strange sense of calm as she pushed the door all the way open.
Austin and Amber both snapped their gazes to her.
Austin's stupid mouth hung open, gaping like a fish. Amber just looked pissed.
"Well," Sienna said, "Thanks for making this easy for me, Austin. We're done."
She turned to leave, and although she could hear him scrambling after her, she did not stop.
"Wait!" Austin grabbed her wrist, and she turned, trying to yank herself away from him.
He was half-naked, with a blanket around his waist. His hands were damp.
Probably Amber's sweat.
"Let go of me!" Sienna snapped. Her so-called friend was sitting on the bed, covering herself with a pillow. She did not even look sorry.
"If you'll just talk to me," Austin pleaded.
"I never want to talk to you again, Austin. Now let go of me!"
His grip tightened, a manic look in his eyes, and Sienna winced in pain.
"Let her go," said a booming voice.
"Or we'll make sure you can never use that hand again," another voice said.
Austin let go immediately, his jaw dropping as he stared at the people who had spoken.
Sienna would recognize those husky voices anywhere. She turned to look at the Reed twins. Her brothers had been tied up with the new gym location, so they had sent their best friends, the twins, to pick her up.
They had always been good-looking boys, but in the years since Sienna had seen them, they had become handsome men. Both six feet, three inches of God's finest work. Shoulders so wide that their clothes could not hide their defined muscles.
Mason had a neat beard now, something she had never seen on him before. It defined his strong jaw and gave him a dangerous, sexy look.
Logan was still clean-shaven, with a strong chin and eyes that immediately cataloged every detail in the room.
They stood shoulder to shoulder with their arms crossed, both wearing a dark expression. They had teased her relentlessly while growing up, but anytime she had been in real trouble, they had stepped in just like this. She realized instantly how much she had missed their protective presence.
Sienna turned back to Austin. He looked appropriately terrified.
Austin raised his hand in surrender and said, "I just want to talk to you, Sienna." He shot a scared glance at the two twins. "Alone."
"I don't think there's much to talk about. You cheated."
Her eyes slowly moved to Amber as she spoke, still stone cold. "I guess you were tired of waiting. Why work hard for something if you can get it the easy way?"
Amber shot her a dirty look, her mouth opening slightly like she wanted to say something snide, but the words caught in her throat. Instead, she pulled on her hoodie and practically sprinted down the hall.
Sienna turned back to Austin and continued, "And, if we're telling truths, if you're no better at sex than you are at foreplay, I don't think I've missed much."
Mason let out a low whistle. "Damn, Sienna."
Logan burst out laughing. "Yeah, I think Austin's ego just shriveled up to the size of his dick."
Austin scowled, pulling the blanket tighter around himself, face growing red as he started to shout, "You know what? You're such a bitch! That's why I did it, because you're always acting like you're better than everyone!"
The twins stepped past her and got directly in Austin's face.
"Say it again," Mason growled, his green eyes locked on Austin's.
Logan tilted his head with a dangerous smile. "Please. I dare you."
Austin shrank back instinctively, clutching the blanket.
Sienna could not help the tiny, vindicated smirk tugging at her lips.
"Anything else we need to do here, Sienna?" Logan asked.
Both twins looked back at her, their faces full of raw loyalty. There was no doubt in her mind they would beat Austin to a pulp if she asked.
She did not want violence, but that protective wall stirred something low and aching in her belly.
She cleared her throat and forced a cool expression. "I'm good. Let's get out of here."
Logan raised his eyebrow at Austin and muttered, "Little tip for next time, Romeo. If you're going to cheat, at least lock the damn door. Like this."
As Logan reached inside the door and flipped the lock on the handle, Mason snatched away Austin's blanket and tossed it into the room.
"No, my clothes!" Austin shouted as Logan slammed the door shut. Austin yanked at the doorknob to no avail.
"Whoops," Logan said with a laugh.
Austin stood frozen in the hallway, completely naked, trying to cover himself with his hands.
A group of girls spilled out of a room down the hall, chatting until they caught sight of Austin. They let out a collective gasp followed by a burst of giggles.
Austin's face turned beet red as he spun on his heel, putting one hand on his front and one on his backside as he sprinted barefoot down the hallway like a man fleeing a crime scene.
Logan and Mason turned slowly, wearing matching grins.
Sienna hooked her arms through theirs, walking between them with a quiet satisfaction. She could feel the firm strength of their biceps under her fingertips, solid and ready to defend her. It made her feel safe.
Maybe Austin cheating had been a blessing in disguise, the final push she needed to let go of something lukewarm and lifeless.
He had never made her feel that spark, that heart-hammering, all-consuming pull you were supposed to feel.
She felt it now. The brush of Logan's fingers against her arm, the solid warmth of Mason at her side.
She swallowed hard, trying not to show the flush rising up her neck.
Why was her body reacting like this?
It was something entirely new.
As soon as they stepped into the elevator with the last of her boxes, they both turned and looked at her, grinning.
"So..." Mason started.
Logan finished, "You two never had sex?"
"That is none of your business," she said.
Logan nodded smoothly. "That means no."
"Oh, please," she said with an eye-roll, though they were entirely right.
She had planned to lose her virginity this summer with Austin.
That was completely ruined now, of course.
But maybe she could still lose it.
Not with someone who lied to her, but with someone who made her feel wanted, grounded, and safe.
Maybe with one of the twins.
Which one?
Mason, with those intense green eyes and confident smile that lingered too long on her lips?
Or Logan, with his soft, dimpled grin and the quiet way he always noticed when something was bothering her?
She did not know yet.
Just the thought of it thrilled her.
The twins drove her home to the coast, bantering easily the whole way about the expansion Callum and Rowan were putting together for the gyms. Once parked in the driveway, they carried every last box upstairs to her room.
"Sure you don't want to come out with us tonight?" Mason asked, leaning against her doorframe. "We're meeting up with your brothers down by the marina."
"No, I'm going to unpack and savor being back home. Tell my brothers to keep it down when they roll in."
"We're really glad you're back, Pearl," Logan said as he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her. The embrace was firm and familiar. Sienna was hit with a wave of warmth. Logan smelled clean, like sea salt and cedar.
Just as he stepped back, Mason took his place, folding her into his arms. His hug was tighter, more grounding. She could feel the hard strength in his chest. Mason smelled like crisp mint and leather.
Sienna tried to hide the way her pulse jumped at their touch. The twins had tormented her growing up, hiding her boxing gloves, pulling her pigtails, and jumping out from behind trees. Despite that, she had always harbored a secret, hopeless crush on both of them.
She flopped down on her bed after they left. She wanted to unpack, but the long drive and the breakup drained the last of her energy. She passed out almost immediately.
She woke up later to strong, warm hands on her bare legs.
She shivered under her comforter, and when her eyes fluttered open, she was staring into bright amber eyes.
Logan?
She blinked against the darkness, trying to find her voice.
"I..." She tried to speak, but the moment her lips parted, his lips were on hers.
The feeling of his kiss was overwhelming.
"Is this okay?" Logan whispered against her skin.
"Yes. More please," Sienna breathed with a soft moan.
Logan explored her mouth, slipping his tongue between her lips and savoring her slowly, carefully. His palm cupped her cheek, rough and grounding.
The deliberate slowness built the heat between them until it was almost unbearable.
As those thoughts invaded her mind, she could have sworn another set of hands began exploring her body. Unless she was losing her mind, there were now four hands on her.
Forcing herself to break the kiss, she pulled back and opened her eyes, searching the shadows.
The sight in front of her made her whimper.
Kneeling between her legs, so close that she could feel his warm breath against her thighs, was Mason.
His green eyes had never looked so dark.
Without saying a word, he eased her knees apart, crawling over her as Logan held her close, tracing the sensitive curve of her throat.
Sienna let out a moan, completely giving in to the heat pooling between her thighs.
Before the feeling peaked, her eyes flew open.
The bedroom was silent.
She was alone.
It was just a dream.
The heavy pounding of her heart and the wetness between her thighs were entirely real.
So, unfortunately, was her disappointment.
Under the blankets, she slid her hand down her stomach, reaching her aching core. She pressed two fingers over the cotton of her panties, sliding up and down her folds. The friction made her gasp. She slipped a hand beneath the lace to find her clit, circling it with increasing pressure until her back arched.
What would a man feel like?
And right on the heels of that: What about two men?
Her hips bucked against her fingers as the climax hit her, electric and sharp. She lay there catching her breath, cheeks flushed, staring up at the ceiling.
This was insane. They were completely off-limits. They were her brothers' lifelong best friends. She had known them forever. Wanting one was complicated enough, but both?
When she rolled over and checked her phone, five missed calls and a flood of texts from Austin lit up the screen.
Austin: Sienna, please, don't give me the silent treatment. I made a mistake, it was a moment of weakness. Please talk to me, baby. Austin: Answer me! Austin: Are you at Callum's place? Austin: Remember when you told me about the weekend bonfires? I want to make this right. Please answer me...
She deleted the thread, tossed the phone, and went straight to the shower.
Downstairs, the house was quiet. Callum and Rowan's doors were still shut tight from their Friday night out.
In the kitchen, the morning sun poured over the counters. After months of stale dorm microwave food, having a real stove felt incredible. She hummed quietly, whipping up batter for pancakes and frying bacon and eggs.
"Something smells unbelievable," a deep voice rumbled from the stairs.
Sienna turned to see Callum padding into the room, yawning.
"Hey, Callum," she laughed, wrapping her arms around his middle. "Miss me?"
"Missed having actual food in the house, that's for sure," he teased, kissing her forehead.
Rowan shuffled in right behind him, instantly stealing a strip of crispy bacon from the plate. "If this is what having our little sister back looks like, you're never leaving again."
They sat around the table, digging into the breakfast. Rowan recapped their night at the marina pub, laughing about some girl who tried to climb onto a table.
Sienna sipped her coffee, keeping her tone completely neutral. "So, what did the twins get up to last night?"
Callum chuckled into his mug. "The usual chaos. Some girl in a black dress was hanging all over Logan at the bar, then whispering to Mason five minutes later. By closing time, nobody knew who was leaving with who. Might've been both."
Sienna nearly choked on her coffee. "Both?"
Rowan shrugged, clearly amused. "Who knows with those two?"
Her stomach twisted with a sudden, unexpected spike of jealousy. She had heard the rumors about the twins, but hearing it out loud hit differently. Especially when her own dirty dream was still fresh in her mind.
"Wait," Rowan said, chewing. "Why are you here alone anyway? Where's Austin?"
"Caught him in bed with Amber," she said simply. "Decided he didn't need to join the family vacation."
Rowan's fork slammed down. "What? Do we need to go pay him a visit?"
"No murder necessary," Sienna smiled dryly. "The twins were there when I caught them. Mason took his blanket and Logan locked him out in the dorm hallway stark naked."
Both brothers burst into roaring laughter.
"Those two are absolute menaces," Callum chuckled.
"Protective menaces," Sienna corrected.
"Well, Rowan and I have to inspect some equipment at the south gym later today," Callum said, pushing his plate back. "Before that, we're hitting the pool out back. Twins are coming over. That cool?"
Remembering her dream, Sienna swallowed hard and forced a shrug. "Sure. Whatever."
The sun was beating down on the patio when Mason and Logan walked through the gate, shirtless and barefoot.
Logan nudged Mason with his elbow, nodding toward the lounger by the deep end.
"Damn," he muttered under his breath. "Looks like Callum or Rowan brought someone over, and they definitely upgraded."
The woman stretched out on the cushions was wearing a bright red bikini that left very little to the imagination. Long, toned legs crossed at the ankles, flat stomach, and pale, sun-bleached waves spilling over the headrest.
Then she lifted her sunglasses onto her forehead.
"No fucking way," Logan whispered.
Mason stopped dead in his tracks. "That's... Sienna?"
The skinny girl who used to chase them around the backyard was completely gone. In her place was a woman with curves that pulled every ounce of their focus.
The twins exchanged a stunned glance.
Sienna smirked playfully up at them from the lounger. "You boys planning to stand there gaping all day, or are you actually going to say hello?"
Mason opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
Logan rubbed the back of his neck, his gaze fixed on her.
"We are so fucked," Mason muttered to his brother.
"Oh, absolutely," Logan agreed softly.
Sienna stood in the hall of her dorm listening to the sound of people fucking.
Normally, in a college dorm that would not be that out of place...except for the fact that she was standing outside of her boyfriend's room.

Chapter 2
SIENNA
She had played it cool, lounging back as if she had not noticed the raw hunger in their eyes, but her pulse was beating like a hammer against her ribs.
Both twins crossed the sun-warmed flagstones and dropped onto the edges of her lounger. Logan settled on her left, his bare thigh inches from hers, while Mason took her right, broad shoulders brushing her arm. The scent of them hit her instantly, clean soap, cedar, and warm skin.
"You look different, Pearl," Mason said, his voice dropping an octave.
"You're still using that dumb nickname?"
They did not answer.
"A lot different," Logan murmured, his amber eyes tracing the curve of her collarbone down to the swell of her chest. "I didn't think you'd be so...grown up."
"I wasn't going to stay twelve forever, Logan," she shot back, holding his stare.
"Clearly," he said softly.
Mason glanced down at her waist, then quickly looked away toward the water, his jaw set tight. "Definitely not the scrawny kid who used to steal our gym towels."
She arched a brow, a slow, teasing smile curling her mouth. "Is that a complaint?"
Both brothers locked eyes with her, their expressions dark and completely serious.
"Not even close," Logan whispered.
"The way you two look at me hasn't stayed the same either," she murmured, leaning back into the cushion.
Logan let out a quiet, rough laugh, though a warning flared in his gaze. "If Callum or Rowan walked out here and saw how we're looking at you..."
Mason rolled his shoulders back, forcing his eyes toward the far fence. "We'd be buried in the backyard."
The patio door clicked open, and the heavy thud of footsteps broke the spell.
In a heartbeat, both twins pushed off the lounger, their faces snapping back into easy, careless grins before Callum and Rowan even cleared the threshold.
The afternoon descended into pure chaos. The four boys turned the pool into their own private arena, wrestling, racing, and throwing each other into the deep end until the whole yard echoed with shouting and laughter.
Sienna drifted on a bright yellow inflatable raft, her dark sunglasses hiding the fact that she was watching every move Mason and Logan made. The sun gleamed against the wet ridges of their backs, highlighting every corded muscle as they moved.
A sudden splash broke the surface, and before she could brace herself, Logan surged up from underneath the float, tipping it sideways. Sienna let out a sharp shriek as she tumbled into the cool water.
She broke the surface gasping, only for Mason's strong hands to lock around her waist. He lifted her clear out of the water like she weighed nothing, his fingers biting gently into her ribs.
"Still scared of going under, Pearl?" Mason teased, holding her suspended before dropping her back with a tremendous splash.
"Hardly," she sputtered, coughing and wiping wet hair from her eyes.
It felt wild to remember how terrified of the ocean she had been when they were kids. After her parents had begun disappearing on long overseas trips, night terrors about drowning had kept her awake for months. Callum and Rowan had tried their best, but it had been the twins who spent entire summer afternoons in this very pool, patiently holding her afloat, showing her how to kick, and teaching her to trust the water.
Shaking the old memories away, she dove deep, cutting through the blue water until she reached the shallow steps, relishing the chill against her overheated skin.
Later, the five of them perched around the pool's edge, passing around cold sodas and bowls of chips. Rowan leaned back on his elbows, a wicked smirk on his face as he looked across at Mason and Logan.
"So, that girl at the marina pub last night," Rowan prodded, nudging Logan with his heel. "Did she get the double treatment, or what?"
Logan choked on his soda, coughing into his arm, while Mason's jaw tightened, color rising along his neck.
Callum raised an eyebrow. "What's with the blushing? Usually, you two are boasting about your conquests."
Logan shrugged, keeping his eyes glued to the tile between his feet. "It just happened. She was into it."
Mason nodded once, stiffly. "We didn't plan anything. It was just a mutual thing in the moment."
Sienna froze, her soda can hovering halfway to her mouth. The reality of it hit her like a punch to the stomach. "Wait. You were both with her? At the exact same time?"
Both twins offered reluctant, sheepish nods.
Curiosity burned right through her embarrassment. "So how does that even work? Do you flip a coin? Make a schedule? Did she ask for both of you, or did you offer?"
Every set of eyes at the edge of the pool snapped straight to her. Four massive men stared in absolute silence, completely shocked.
Heat roared up Sienna's throat until her entire face burned.
Rowan let out a deafening bark of laughter. "Look at our little sister asking the technical questions!"
Callum grinned, clapping her on the shoulder. "Curious, are we, Mads? Guess that's what happens when you've never had a real sex life."
Sienna shoved Callum's hand off, her face blazing scarlet. "Shut up! Both of you!"
She dropped her soda, scrambled to her feet, and bolted into the house without looking back, slamming her bedroom door shut behind her.
Sienna pressed the palms of her hands against her eyes, breathing heavily against the wood of her bedroom door.
Her mind was spinning. She could not erase the image of the mystery woman pressed between them, nor could she silence the filthy, traitorous voice in her head asking why she could not be the one in the middle.
She grabbed a book from her nightstand, kicking off her flip-flops, and curled up in the center of her bed. The words on the page were an incomprehensible blur.
The latch clicked softly.
Mason stepped inside, followed immediately by Logan. They moved with quiet, feline confidence, crossing the floor and sitting on the edge of her mattress.
"Looking cozy, Pearl," Mason said quietly.
"What are you two doing in here?" she asked, clutching the blanket to her chest.
"Can we nap with you?" Logan reached out, his warm fingers brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
Sienna swallowed hard, looking toward the open hallway. "Where are my brothers?"
"They took off for the south gym," Mason explained, stretching his long frame out beside her on the mattress. "Equipment delivery arrived early. We're beat from the drive and the pool. Thought we could rest here."
Logan leaned down, his hazel-amber eyes softening. "You don't mind, do you?"
With his hair damp and ruffled from the pool, he looked disarmingly gentle. Her hand betrayed her, moving on its own to tangle softly in the curls at the nape of his neck.
"What about your friend from last night?" she asked, unable to keep the edge out of her tone. "Won't she be upset you're cuddling with someone else?"
"She doesn't know," Logan murmured, sliding onto his side. "And she wouldn't care if she did."
"I don't need any drama," Sienna muttered.
Mason shifted closer until his chest pressed against her shoulder. His warm breath tickled her neck, sending a shiver directly to her core. "Forget about her, Sienna. We just want to cuddle you. Like old times."
When she was a little girl and the nightmares had terrorized her sleep, her brothers had done everything they could, but it had often been the twins who stayed in her room, sandwiching her between their broad shoulders until morning light chased the shadows away. It had been pure and safe back then.
Now, it felt like standing in front of an open flame.
"We'll keep the bad dreams away, Pearl," Logan whispered, leaning in to press a light kiss against her temple.
Mason's rough fingertips began tracing slow, invisible patterns along her bare arm, sending static shocks along her skin.
"What do you say, Mads?" Mason asked, his dark green eyes locked onto hers with unbearable focus. "Is this okay?"
Her heart hammered against her ribs. The heat rolling off their bodies was intoxicating. She wanted to say yes, but she knew deep down that if she opened this door, there would be no turning back.
She had played it cool, lounging back as if she had not noticed the raw hunger in their eyes, but her pulse was beating like a hammer against her ribs.
Both twins crossed the sun-warmed flagstones and dropped onto the edges of her lounger. Logan settled on her left, his bare thigh inches from hers, while Mason took her right, broad shoulders brushing her arm. The scent of them hit her instantly, clean soap, cedar, and warm skin.
"You look different, Pearl," Mason said, his voice dropping an octave.
"You're still using that dumb nickname?"
They did not answer.
"A lot different," Logan murmured, his amber eyes tracing the curve of her collarbone down to the swell of her chest. "I didn't think you'd be so...grown up."
"I wasn't going to stay twelve forever, Logan," she shot back, holding his stare.
"Clearly," he said softly.
Mason glanced down at her waist, then quickly looked away toward the water, his jaw set tight. "Definitely not the scrawny kid who used to steal our gym towels."
She arched a brow, a slow, teasing smile curling her mouth. "Is that a complaint?"
Both brothers locked eyes with her, their expressions dark and completely serious.
"Not even close," Logan whispered.
"The way you two look at me hasn't stayed the same either," she murmured, leaning back into the cushion.
Logan let out a quiet, rough laugh, though a warning flared in his gaze. "If Callum or Rowan walked out here and saw how we're looking at you..."
Mason rolled his shoulders back, forcing his eyes toward the far fence. "We'd be buried in the backyard."
The patio door clicked open, and the heavy thud of footsteps broke the spell.
In a heartbeat, both twins pushed off the lounger, their faces snapping back into easy, careless grins before Callum and Rowan even cleared the threshold.
The afternoon descended into pure chaos. The four boys turned the pool into their own private arena, wrestling, racing, and throwing each other into the deep end until the whole yard echoed with shouting and laughter.
Sienna drifted on a bright yellow inflatable raft, her dark sunglasses hiding the fact that she was watching every move Mason and Logan made. The sun gleamed against the wet ridges of their backs, highlighting every corded muscle as they moved.
A sudden splash broke the surface, and before she could brace herself, Logan surged up from underneath the float, tipping it sideways. Sienna let out a sharp shriek as she tumbled into the cool water.
She broke the surface gasping, only for Mason's strong hands to lock around her waist. He lifted her clear out of the water like she weighed nothing, his fingers biting gently into her ribs.
"Still scared of going under, Pearl?" Mason teased, holding her suspended before dropping her back with a tremendous splash.
"Hardly," she sputtered, coughing and wiping wet hair from her eyes.
It felt wild to remember how terrified of the ocean she had been when they were kids. After her parents had begun disappearing on long overseas trips, night terrors about drowning had kept her awake for months. Callum and Rowan had tried their best, but it had been the twins who spent entire summer afternoons in this very pool, patiently holding her afloat, showing her how to kick, and teaching her to trust the water.
Shaking the old memories away, she dove deep, cutting through the blue water until she reached the shallow steps, relishing the chill against her overheated skin.
Later, the five of them perched around the pool's edge, passing around cold sodas and bowls of chips. Rowan leaned back on his elbows, a wicked smirk on his face as he looked across at Mason and Logan.

Chapter 3
SIENNA
Sienna lay sandwiched between the twins, their bodies radiating heat on either side of her, pressing in close until she could feel the heavy thrum of their heartbeats.
What if Callum and Rowan returned from the south gym early and found them tangled up like this? The mere thought sent a jolt of panic through her veins.
Even worse, what if they did not come back, and she could no longer stop herself from reaching out to touch them the way she had in her dream? The craving sat heavy and restless in her chest.
Mason and Logan exchanged a quiet look before returning their gazes to her.
"We'll just sleep, promise," Mason murmured, his hand resting lightly against the comforter.
Logan added with a lopsided smile, "Yeah, nothing more. Just close your eyes and rest with us, Pearl."
She felt a sharp mix of disappointment and relief wash over her.
"Okay," she whispered, her voice softer than she intended.
She lay back, letting her head sink into the pillows. She was wearing only her red bikini, while they were shirtless, and every shift of their frames made her intensely aware of every inch of bare skin touching hers.
Mason stroked her thigh in slow, soothing strokes while Logan's breath tickled her neck, warm and rhythmic. Sienna's stomach fluttered with nervous energy, and a sudden rush of heat pooled low between her legs.
The room remained quiet as their breathing settled. Mason's hand stilled against her hip. Logan's chest rose and fell evenly against her side. Eventually, the exhaustion of the move won out, and Sienna drifted off.
Sienna woke up feeling scorching hot.
She blinked her eyes open.
Mason was spooning her from behind, his solid chest flush against her back, while Logan had nuzzled his face directly into the crook of her neck. Their large frames generated an incredible amount of heat.
And against her backside, she felt the unmistakable ridge of an erection.
She stared at the ceiling, taking long, quiet breaths to calm her racing pulse.
"You okay, Pearl?"
The whisper against her shoulder was barely audible, but it sent a spark straight to her lower stomach.
"Um, me? Yeah, sure. I'm fine," she stammered.
"What's going on in that pretty head of yours?" Logan murmured, his voice thick with sleep.
Mason shifted, his hand sliding across her upper thigh to toy absently with the string of her bikini bottom. If he nudged his fingers just an inch further, he would feel how wet she was.
"Nothing, really," she said quickly. "I need to get up. I'm meeting Piper in a bit."
She gave each of them a quick peck on the cheek before rolling past Logan and slipping out of the bed.
"Bonfire tonight?" Mason asked, stretching his arms overhead with a long yawn. The movement flexed his chest and pulled his abs taut.
"Yep. See you down at the beach," she said, nodding toward the hall.
As both twins stood, she tried not to stare at the obvious bulges tenting their shorts. On their way out the door, Logan tugged a strand of her hair and Mason swatted her backside playfully.
"When are you going to grow up?" she grumbled.
The teasing touches were nothing new, but the effect they had on her body was completely out of control.
Piper was late, as usual.
Sienna was already sitting at a high-top table at the Green Bay Shore bar, licking salt off the rim of her margarita, when her phone buzzed.
Piper: Just around the corner!
A few minutes later, Piper swept into the bar, wrapping Sienna in an enthusiastic hug. "Good lord, look at you!"
"I missed you so much," Sienna laughed, hugging her back.
Piper stepped back, eyeing Sienna's outfit. Over her bikini, Sienna wore a cream crochet top that complemented her sun-kissed skin, paired with distressed denim shorts. "Well, the bonfire is going to be jealous of how hot you look."
Once their drinks were settled, Piper leaned in across the table. "So, how are you really doing? How is the breakup going?"
"Honestly, if Austin hadn't been calling and texting non-stop, I wouldn't have thought about him once," Sienna admitted. "I have zero tolerance for betrayal."
"Good. Because you have way too much testosterone around you to waste time on an ex," Piper chuckled. "I've always wondered, though. Why did you never sleep with Austin?"
"I couldn't get my body to cooperate," Sienna sighed. "I thought something was wrong with me, until I figured out how to take care of things myself."
"He wasn't the right guy, that's all," Piper said, raising an eyebrow. "Though I bet one of the Reed twins would be thrilled to take care of that V-card for you."
Sienna nearly choked on her drink. "Nothing is happening there. Callum and Rowan would lose their minds!"
She paused, looking around before lowering her voice. "I've definitely been thinking about them, though. When they're close, it's like my body takes over."
Piper leaned forward, intrigued. "What happened?"
"Callum mentioned that the twins took a girl home from the marina pub on Friday. Both of them, together," Sienna whispered. "Hearing that did something to me. What is wrong with me, Piper? I've never even had sex, and all I can think about is having both of their hands on me."
"Nothing is wrong with you. You're just a walking hormone bomb," Piper grinned. "Have you thought that maybe they're looking at you differently too?"
"No way. They still call me Pearl and tease me," Sienna protested, though her cheeks flushed. "We took a nap together today, but nothing happened. Besides, I can't go there. They're my brothers' best friends, and they work together."
The beach was alive with music and voices by the time they arrived. Sparks from the massive bonfire drifted into the dark night sky.
The circle was crowded, and Sienna found a spot on the sand. The twins kept glancing her way from across the circle, but kept their distance, likely because Callum and Rowan were sitting right beside her.
Eventually, Callum stood and stretched. "Rowan and I are heading down to the harbor tavern to meet a few people. Anyone coming?"
Sienna shook her head. "I'm staying by the fire."
Piper grinned, hopping up immediately. "A drink sounds great. Mind if I tag along with your brothers?" Her childhood crush on Rowan was clearly alive and well.
"Go for it," Sienna smiled.
The moment the three of them disappeared into the dark, Mason and Logan strolled over.
"Fine, we'll keep you company," Mason teased, dropping down on her left.
"Can't have you looking like a loner," Logan said, settling close on her right.
Their shoulders brushed hers as the firelight danced over their features.
Logan leaned down, murmuring into her ear, "We're really glad you came out tonight."
Mason whispered from her other side, "Yeah. We've been thinking about you all day."
Her heart skipped a beat, but before she could answer, a loud, slurred voice bellowed down the shore.
"SIENNA! SIENNA, WHERE ARE YOU?"
Her stomach turned. Austin.
Logan put a hand on her arm as she stood up. "Pearl, what's going on?"
"Nothing," she said tightly, shaking off his hand. "I'll be right back."
Sienna lay sandwiched between the twins, their bodies radiating heat on either side of her, pressing in close until she could feel the heavy thrum of their heartbeats.
What if Callum and Rowan returned from the south gym early and found them tangled up like this? The mere thought sent a jolt of panic through her veins.
