Chapter Twenty-one

It was well after two in the morning before Kieran and I stumbled downstairs to our respective bedrooms. Exhausted and beyond satisfied, all I could think of was sleep. I collapsed into my bed and closed my eyes to answer the siren’s call of sleep just as the last waning reserves of adrenaline wore off.

I’d barely closed my eyes when my rational mind got its second wind. Though my body was exhausted, my brain was suddenly wide awake.

Wide awake, and wondering what the hell had happened. Did Ethan really walk in on Kieran and me and join in? Did we really just spend the last few hours in bed? Was that real?

As reality set in, a strange feeling slowly unwound itself in my chest, a cold prelude to an epiphany I hadn’t yet had. Every time my mind drifted back to the threesome—and it did, over and over again—my stomach turned. The unraveling chill became a heavy, sinking feeling, one I recognized as a physical manifestation of pure, icy regret.

I exhaled and closed my eyes, rubbing my forehead in a futile attempt to push away the thoughts that were quickly working their way to the front of my consciousness. I just want to sleep. If I’m going to regret this, can’t it wait?

It couldn’t, apparently.

Everything about tonight had been hot. There probably didn’t exist a more sexually compatible trio on the planet. Still, a million reasons why this shouldn’t have happened ran through my mind. It was going to complicate things. Things were going to get weird between Ethan and me. And Kieran and me. And Ethan and Kieran. It was going be harder to live with them now, and even harder to watch them go.

I sighed and cursed under my breath.

Maybe this was all in my head. Maybe it was not unlike the paranoid worry that followed sexual experimentation in my youth. I was still settling into the reality of “I’ve done that”, rather than the previous state of “I’d like to try that”. A threesome was something new. Uncharted territory now charted. In the light of day, I’d realize it wasn’t such a big deal. I’d enjoyed it, as had they, and it hadn’t knocked the world off its axis.

With any luck, they were in agreement. None of this would feel weird in the light of day. We could go on without awkwardness. I’d realize I was worrying over nothing.

I hoped.
