All she needed to pack was a few bikinis, a toothbrush and some sunscreen. This is what Ben told Erin when he presented her and Todd with tickets to Fiji and the promise of ten days of nothing but sleeping until whenever they wanted, sex without having to lock the door and lots of alone time.

And that’s what they have. Long days and nights filled with pleasure. Long enough that the stress and exhaustion drops away and the three can simply enjoy each other.

They’ve got heat. More than ever before. Recharging their batteries has also brought new levels of intimacy and connection. But when Erin stumbles over the pain of her past, both men band together to not only help her through, but to help each other as well.

“Hey there, baby.” Ben hugged his son as he picked him up. “Did you have a good day today?” He headed to the couch to sit next to Erin with Alexander in his lap.

Alexander began to tell him in a rushed, excited tone about his day. About half of it was intelligible so Ben managed to piece it together that he and Erin had gone to the grocery store and then to Green Lake where they played with Elise and Marti while Rennie was still in school.

“That sounds so much cooler than my day. Did you keep Momma safe?”

Alexander nodded solemnly as he turned to Erin. “Yes.”

Erin softened at that, taking his little fist and kissing it. “Thank you, Monkey.”

“Course!”

“I’m so glad. Thank you.” With a grin, Ben turned his head a little and kissed her. “Hiya, gorgeous.”

And she was. Unbelievably so. Erin Brown was larger than life. Vivid in every way. And his.

“Hello yourself. I’m glad you’re home. Todd called a few minutes ago, he’s on his way home. Alexander and I made spaghetti for dinner.”

“You did? You know it’s my favorite.” He kissed Alexander’s nose.

“Yes!” Alexander pushed down and headed to his Lego box in the corner of the room. He dumped it out and began building.

“You’ve been dismissed.” Erin winked.
