Twenty-Two

Brooke

I can’t even begin to think about how happy and relieved I am right now. That was amazing sex. More divine than anything I’ve ever done with Levi, and we had some terrific sex before he was wounded. This was almost a spiritual experience it was so great. I felt my heart expanding to encompass Skyler as well as Levi. It was as if I was surrounded by love, and the love the two guys have for one another was also passing through me.

I am so happy for Levi. I know how awful he’s been feeling, and this has to have been an enormous hurdle for him to finally overcome.

“That was incredible, you guys,” I tell them.

“It was everything,” Levi agrees and yawns contentedly.

“Best ever. Good night,” Skyler adds, and we all drift off in a tangle of arms and legs.

I should feel crowded, but the sense of rightness fills me with so much joy, I drift off with what I’m sure is a goofy grin on my face.

An indeterminate length of time later, I realize that although Levi is still snuggled up to me, my other side is cool. Skyler either needed more space and moved way over, or he’s gone. I don’t give it a lot of thought before succumbing to sleep again.

But as the room fills with late morning light and I regain my wits, I turn around and see that Skyler has definitely gone somewhere else to sleep. This bums me out more than I would have expected. I hope he’s not upset or nervous about what we did. If we could maintain this kind of relationship permanently, I wouldn’t mind. This realization doesn’t even shock me, and that in itself is a surprise. I want him to be part of us. Levi and I will have to talk when he wakes up. But now, I desperately need the bathroom and crave some coffee in the worst way.

I head to the bathroom, and when I’m done with the necessities and brushing my teeth, I peek into Skyler’s room. I’m kind of shocked that he’s not there, and his bed is made. Huh. That seems odd. I return to our bedroom quietly, not wanting to disturb Levi who’s still softly snoring away. He’s so beautiful and looks completely at peace. No nightmares have plagued him since we got here to Skyler’s paradise in Honeybee Hollow. I quickly pull on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and head barefooted for the kitchen.

Now it’s getting to be even stranger. I felt certain Skyler would be sipping coffee and enjoying a pastry from Juni’s bakery. He keeps a good supply of her confections in the freezer at all times. But the coffeemaker is cold and empty, and he’s nowhere to be seen. I step outside to see if he’s somewhere out back. Nope. Nothing. I even look in the garage, deciding he went to buy something different for breakfast—not that we needed anything—but his car and the truck are both parked in there.
