“It’s literally the only thing he can cook,” Luther says, rolling his eyes. “So, yeah, of course he brought pancake supplies to a cave in the forest.”

“From a box?” Mack wrinkles his nose.

“Yes, Mack, from a fucking box. Unless you’re volunteering to go to the store for eggs, flour, milk, sugar—”

“If someone’s going to the store, we need more booze.” Luther waves the whiskey bottle at us. We’ve only had a few sips each and it’s depressingly empty.

“No one is going to the store,” Mack growls. “We’re in hiding, remember?”

Taking in his grumpy big-brother expression, I start to laugh.

In the water, Nova and Tanner have stopped splashing one another and are now kissing. Boy are they kissing!

He’s kissing her like he’s going for an Olympic medal in how to turn your girlfriend on using only your lips. Tilting her head back, she offers him her throat and grins as he drags his tongue in swirling patterns over her skin.

He’s lifting her arm, kissing the soft spot inside her elbow, when she meets my eyes. Squeezing my shoulder, Mack mutters, “Why don’t you join them?” But I’m already tugging off my pants.

Ditching my torn shirt, I keep my boxers on and wade into the water. When Tanner sees me, he grins, and lifts Nova into my arms. I sweep her wet hair from her shoulders and take in every inch of her face.

“I never thought I’d see you again,” I whisper, tracing her jawline then tweaking her chin up so I can nibble her lower lip.

Sweeping her tongue over my lip in return, she runs her fingers over my shoulders. In the water, my scars glisten. She lowers her head and kisses the biggest, most twisted scar on my chest. Then Tanner is behind me, and he’s doing the same; tracing the contours of my past with his tongue.

As Nova moves her mouth to my nipples, the jolt of pleasure that shoots down my spine surprises me. “Do that again,” I whisper.

She obliges, swirling even harder while Tanner plants both hands flat on my hips and moves closer.

While I’m still in my underwear, Tanner is naked. I can feel his erection pressing against my lower back, and I want to reach for it, but to do so would mean not touching Nova.

Bringing her to me, I hook her legs around my waist. Although we’re in the water, we’re not too deep, and I’m standing with both feet flat on the sandy lake floor. I widen my legs and steady myself as I tease a wet nipple with my index finger.

Nova smiles and holds on to my shoulders, then she moves her head and kisses Tanner so close to my ear that I can hear their tongues caressing one another. They’re still kissing when Tanner’s hands find my boxers and tug them down over my hips.

I groan and lightly bite Nova’s shoulder as Tanner runs a long lithe finger from my balls to my ass. He stops when he reaches my tight, un-fucked hole, and I realize that Nova is watching my face. “What is he doing to you?” she asks, then she snaked her hand around my waist, finds Tanner’s, and grins. “Do you want him to fill you up?”

I swallow hard. Tanner’s hot breath is on my shoulder. Fuck, yes, I want him to.

Before I can reply, he takes his finger away, spits on it, then returns it to my ass. He gently strokes my tight, waiting rim, then whispers, “Tell me if you want me to stop,” and eases a finger inside.

At first, I tense. He stops, lets me adjust to the new sensation, then goes a little deeper. “Fuck,” I whisper, holding tight onto Nova. “Fuck, that feels good.”

Reaching her hand between us, Nova finds my cock and wraps her fingers around it. As she and Tanner find their rhythm, I wind my fingers into her hair and stare into her eyes. “I don’t think anything has ever felt this good,” I groan. But then Tanner adds another finger to my ass, and I almost choke on my words.

Tanner is still fucking me with his fingers when Nova slides onto my shaft and hums with delight. I try to concentrate, try to find her clit and make the small torturous circles I know drive her crazy, but the feeling of Tanner playing with my ass while Nova grinds onto my cock is too much.

“Don’t hold back,” Nova whispers.

Behind me, Tanner suddenly stops moving. I grind back onto his fingers, wishing there were more and that it was his cock inside me instead, but knowing that doing that without some kind of lube would be crazy.

Then, holy stars, he finds my prostate and rubs against it. At the same time, Nova lifts herself off my cock and replaces her cunt with her hand. She stares at me as she finds a rhythm that makes me groan. Squeezing the head with every upward movement, she cups my balls with her other hand and strokes the spot just beneath them.

“Switch places with me, Little Star,” Tanner says over my shoulder.

I shudder as he takes his fingers from me, but then Nova is there instead and her fingers feel different. Smaller, more delicate. “Is this okay?” she whispers.

I can’t answer her, just punch the water and moan as Tanner takes hold of her hand and shows her what to do. “Tease him,” he whispers. “That’s it, Little Star.”

Then he disappears. He dives beneath the water, and I have no idea what the hell he’s doing until suddenly there is a mouth on my cock. He’s underwater, sucking my dick.
