Nervous butterflies dance in my stomach. This game could bring us together or it could cause a massive blow-up between the lot of them and tear us apart. I hold my breath as I roll the die and wait. It’s a three. Probably the worst one I could get.

Reef chuckles staring down at me. “Who do you pick, Sloane?” He wiggles his eyebrows, having way too much fun already.

I can’t help but smirk back at him. He’s the less bossy one of them, and it surprised me the most that it was his rule. So I guess I want to see what fun he has planned for me. “Be nice, Reef,” I warn, my expression serious.

A cheeky grin stretches across his lips as he shakes his head. “Good choice. Come sit with me, wildcat.” He pats his lap, trying to entice me.

Oh man, this is going to go bad, I just know it. He helps me up to standing, and I move to sit on his lap. He pulls me into his embrace, his lips brushing my cheek, holding me close, the warmth of his body surrounding me. “Right where you should be,” he whispers in my ear. I can feel Orlando’s eyes on us; I can’t look at him to see his filthy glare, it’s already too dangerous. Besides, I don’t want to ruin this moment with Reef.

“Whose turn?” I ask, needing to get this game moving and the attention off me.

Onyx takes the die and rolls a two. His attention goes straight to Orlando. “What are your real intentions with Sloane?” he goes straight for the real shit.

Orlando’s eyes come to me in a way that makes my heart race because I feel like I already know what they are—he’s never going to let me go. He thinks I’m stuck on this island forever.

Reef’s lips touch my ear. “I want you to go kiss Romeo, wildcat, make it a good one too.”

I close my eyes for just a split second. Fuck. I stand and move closer to Romeo, take his hand, and pull him up to standing. I pop up on my toes and my lips meet with his. His hand wraps around my back, and he holds me close as he kisses me way too passionately for this audience. I pull back from him a little breathless, my heart racing.

“My intention is only to keep her alive. She saved me, and I owe her everything. Much like I do you, for giving me a second chance. If she falls for me while I’m protecting her then I’m a happy man, because I have no intention of letting her go when this is all over.”

I turn back around, his answer catching me off guard a little. I didn’t expect him to be so honest with Onyx. Orlando’s eyes meet mine, and he knows it. I move back to Reef’s lap, not sure how to react.

“Roll the die for me, wildcat,” says Reef, not giving me too long to think on it.

I collect the die and roll for Reef. “Fuck.” It’s a one.

“This game is really working in my favor.” Reef chuckles playfully.

“What do you want?” I snip; this game really isn’t working in mine.

He grins so hard his dimples show, and he looks sexy as all hell. “Your panties.”

Romeo chuckles, and I feel all four sets of eyes land on me.

I shake my head. “Of course you do.” I stand and shimmy out of my panties, handing them to him. I wish I wasn’t wearing a short fucking dress, but I’m grateful the lighting is low with just the flicker of the fire and the candles.

With a grin, Romeo takes the die and rolls. It comes up with a five. “I think you’re having just a little too much fun with your newfound power, Reef, let’s give you the blindfold to even out the game.” He winks in my direction then leans over from his spot and places the blindfold over Reef’s eyes. The two of them having a laugh as he does.

Shit, we probably shouldn’t have drunk so much before attempting this game. Things are about to get messy, I just know it.

“You’re going to pay for that move, Romeo.” Reef chuckles.

“I can’t wait.” They are both so damn close to me I feel the way his words rumble through his chest, even though they were growled out quietly just for Reef’s ears.

Orlando takes his roll, the die flying across the table.

Reef’s hand runs along my thigh. “Spread your legs for me, wildcat,” he instructs, something in his words making me even more wet than I already was.

“Reef,” I warn, knowing he’s getting into dangerous territory.

His lips find my neck. “My turn’s about to run out, Sloane, let’s have a little fun before it does.” His warm breath on my neck sends goosebumps up my arms and brings my entire body to life.

“You’re causing trouble.” I spread my legs, knowing exactly what the two men sitting opposite us can see—my exposed pussy. It might be dark in here, but it’s not that dark.

Orlando adjusts himself, not even hiding how fucking turned on he’s getting right now. “You’re playing a dangerous game, Reef, especially with that blindfold on,” he warns him.

Onyx looks me dead in the eyes, his lips twitching up at the sides. Even he is lighting up. Maybe this game was a good idea.I’m the boys’ common ground. All they want is me naked and they will get along.
