“It’s because he has more money than us,” Beni said as he came back into the room. “Well, that and he’s a natural born leader, taller than both of us by several inches figuratively and literally and most importantly, I was incredibly shy, nervous and

terrified of my own shadow and even now when I go to court, I pretend I’m him so I can be bolder than my usual personality.”

“I’m the same,” Adil shrugged. “My parents wanted a cutthroat investor for a child and I’m more of a behind the scenes, sneaky son of a bitch. We were forced in tenth grade to be part of the drama team because we got caught doing something we shouldn’t have and while Phineas ended up the male lead in the production,”

“I got to kiss Joelle Peters,” he gave a happy smile at the memory as he turned the hair dryer to a low setting and began waving it over her hair.

“And I found out how much I love hiding in the shadows pulling strings to make my buddies look good.” Adil grinned.

Her eyes were focused on Beni as he moved within her line of sight and her breath caught. He was as muscular and toned as Phineas and Adil and he too was covered in tattoos. Her eyes drifted to the pajama bottoms and Suki’s earlier comment about him not wearing underwear reemerged in her brain. She needed to look elsewhere because he definitely wasn’t wearing anything, and it was clear his length was hanging down the inside of his

thigh. Her eyes drifted to Phineas standing right in front of her and she realized his underwear were also not under his pjs. They flicked next to Adil and same thing. She was going to crawl into a bed with three men who were all commando under their pajamas and all equally, devastatingly endowed. A crazy vision of her kneeled between them filled her brain and she almost smacked her own face to make it go away.

“What did you learn in drama, Beni?” she cleared her throat as she tried not to look at their penises through their pants. If she were given a superpower, Juni was contemplating in this moment, she wanted x–ray vision.

“I learned I can’t sing. I have terrible stage fright unless Phineas talks me down from it and I also learned Phineas doesn’t always get his way.”

“Why?” she looked up at Phineas curiously.

“Because Joelle Peters had a college aged boyfriend who beat the shit out of me for asking to practice the kissing scene one too many times.” His smile held no remorse. “It was worth it because for all three nights of the show, she needed to kiss me while he watched from the audience, and I made it better every

time.”

“She was in a relationship!” Juniper protested.

“I

for the story.”

“Nasty,” she muttered.

“I was fifteen. Trust me, it wasn’t the nastiest thing I did.”

“No. Jerking off in our tent when you thought we were asleep might have been the nastiest thing you did that year.” Beni made a face as he crawled up on the bed to sit behind her. He leaned closer, “you smell better than you did.”

“Thank you.” She beamed at him and then looked at Phineas, “you jerked off with them in the same tent as you?”

“I was fifteen with raging hormones and there was a girl at the next campsite who wore a bikini far too small for her.”

“You could have done it in the woods when we weren’t around,” Beni griped.

“Or at least did it silently like I did,” Adil commented. “You groaned when you finished, and it haunted me for weeks.”

“You groaned?” she giggled at the comment from Adil.

“Loudly,” Beni shook his head in disgust.

“I hope you both stored that memory away for a long time because,” he shut the hair dryer off as he decided her hair was dry enough, “our girl here liked the idea we floated in front of

Kyst earlier. The one Suki planted in all of our heads like the best idea we’ve ever not had.”

“What idea?”

“A quartet, a quad, whatever the fuck we want to call it. The three of us and Juni. Forever.”

Beni and Adil both leaned together to look at Juniper.

Beni spoke first, “is this what you want?”

She shrugged wishing there were more alcohol in her system to answer the question as her bravery faded. “It’s so soon. It’s been a week or so since everything imploded but I do know I’m not ready to be pigeonholed into a relationship with one man ever again where I feel I need to limit myself in order to keep the peace. I want to explore all of who I am.”

“Then it’s a change for our plans,” Adil said quietly. “We were cach intending to woo you for ourselves, to let you choose one of us. Now, we’re going to come at you like a team effort.” He looked at Phineas, “are you thinking what I’m thinking?”

“I think so. Beni?”

“If you’re both thinking of Operation Sandcastle, I’m in.”

“What is Operation Sandcastle?” Juniper asked seriously.
