“Briony?” Leo asked, panic tingeing his voice. “Briony?” he repeated quietly when he saw her. She buried her face in her drawn up legs.

Nic was kneeling at her side in an instant. “Sweetheart, are you okay?”

She shook her head without looking up. Inadequacy squashed all the bliss she’d felt this evening. Why had she been so stupid? She wasn’t one of the cutesy sorority girls who surely chased after these two. On some level, she’d bought into Nic’s soul mate talk. Stupid. After all this time, she should be smarter than this.

She felt Leo climb down beside her, too.

“Baby, are you hurt?” he asked gently, his arm sliding around her. She started to shake her head then nodded. The pain cutting through her was far more than physical.

“Please, just leave,” she said. She could grade papers, clean house, eat a mixing bowl of ice cream and forget the euphoria she’d experienced in their arms and the humiliation of her body’s shortcomings.

Instead of moving away from her, Leo tightened his arm around her shoulders. Nic wrapped her in his embrace from the other side. She bit back a groan at the blanketing warmth that surrounded her. Succumbing wasn’t an option.

“Go,” she reiterated.

Leo shook his head. “Why?”

Because her temporary insanity had worn off and doused her with ice water. She lifted her head, taking courage despite her tear-stained cheeks, and faced her demons…or at least the angels who’d led her to a glimpse of heaven. “This isn’t the right thing. Not for you,” she said.

“Why?” Leo repeated.

“It felt pretty damn right to me. Perfect, actually,” Nic growled, his impetuous nature breaking through. He always charged forward while Leo investigated. She would have smiled at the diametric difference if not for her sorrow.

“In bed,” she conceded, then scrubbed both hands over her face as she gathered her thoughts. “But life is about more than that. There’s sex then there’s companionship. Don’t you want someone who can keep up with you as you run around on whatever adventure life leads you to? There must be some girl your age who would adore having both of you.”

Who wouldn’t? Their attraction went far beyond their looks. They were good men, talented and caring and smart.
