  Chapter One

  “I don’t have anything to wear.” Beth flopped back on her bed, her strawberry blonde curls bouncing across the white comforter.

  She stared across the room into the overflowing hangers of the guest room closet. She’d only been able to bring a third of her wardrobe, more than enough for the black pants and shirts she wore waiting tables at her sister’s pub, the Frosty Pitcher. And the sweats she sported in the house when not working. But a date, or whatever this was, stretched her selection beyond its limits.

  Not that she was complaining. She was lucky to have a sister who would offer her a job and a home after she’d been kicked out of her own. Losing her job and her fiancé in one day was a lot for anyone to deal with, but being homeless, too, would have been too much.

  “Stop being such a drama queen,” Kelly called from the doorway, walking across the room to the stuffed closet. She shifted the hangers apart, looking deep inside. “You’ve got lots of great stuff in here.”

  Beth shook her head along the mattress, throwing her hands behind her. “Nothing good enough for a fancy dinner.”

  Kelly shook her head, pulling out a white slip dress from the pile and turning it around to show Beth. “What about this? With your eyes and hair, this would look great.”

  Beth leaned up on her elbows, glancing at the dress, and shook her head. “I’ll look like a rhino.” And it was one of Paul’s favorites. But she wasn’t going to mention that. Paul’s name was as good as a swear around Kelly. And Beth loved her overprotective older sister for it.

  Kelly rolled her eyes, pushing aside two other hangers to wedge the dress back in the closet. “If you don’t want to go tonight, you don’t have to.”

  Beth sighed, sitting up to look over at her sister. She folded her feet underneath her, curling her toes into the comforter. “No, you’re right. I need to get over what happened with Paul. I need to move on. I’m just nervous.”

  Kelly fingered the knot of blonde hair at her nape, not a hair out of place. Perfect. Just like Kelly always was. Kelly always did everything right. She never would have opened her mouth and gotten herself fired. And she certainly wouldn’t have dated a dickhead like Paul who did not see anything wrong with taking advantage of people, even his fiancée. Another in a long line of jerks she’d dated since high school.

  Stepping toward her, Kelly placed a comforting hand on Beth’s shoulder. Eyes the same sea-green as her own stared back at her. “There’s no reason to be nervous. The Fantasies Fulfilled team does extensive background checks before they let anyone on their site.” She smiled. “I never would have bought you the subscription if I wasn’t sure it would be great for you.” She waggled her eyebrows at her, and Beth chuckled.

  That was what had her shaking. She wasn’t meeting one man at the luxurious Snowedin Lodge, but two. When filling out the paperwork subscription to Fantasies Fulfilled services, her generous birthday gift from Kelly, Beth decided if she were going to have a fantasy night, she might as well live out the fantasy she’d been dreaming about for ten years, to be with two men, who happened to also enjoy each other.

  Since high school, Beth had f
antasized about two men together. Making out in the backseat of her boyfriend’s car, she often imagined him with other men. They’d kiss and touch each other, then kiss and touch her. When she’d expressed the fantasy to Paul, he’d looked at her like she was crazy, yet another sign Paul wasn’t the right guy.

  “Just go to the hotel and enjoy your birthday present.”

  Beth nodded. She intended to enjoy her present. More than Kelly even knew. This was her one shot to fulfill a lifelong fantasy, and she couldn’t let it pass. If she could only get the butterflies in her stomach to stop polkaing long enough to get out the door.

  Kelly walked back to the closet and pulled out a dress from the clutter, fighting with the strap from a purple sweater to release it. Turning around, she displayed the dress she’d chosen across her own body.

  The emerald color shimmered from the small golden threads woven through the fabric. The slit up the side would show off enough of her legs to pique some interest. The bodice tightened from the waist up to curve into a heart-shape neckline, dipping to show all the cleavage she had to offer, ending with two small spaghetti straps.

  “I think you should wear this one.” Kelly spread the dress out on the bed beside Beth. “It’ll look beautiful against your pale skin and bring out the green in your eyes.”

  Beth looked down at the dress on the bed. It really was beautiful. She’d almost forgotten she owned it. She’d bought the gown for the yearly awards banquet at her old company, the one she hadn’t attended, having been fired three weeks before the elaborate affair occurred.

  She stared questioningly back at her sister. “Kel, it’s so low-cut.”

  Kelly wrapped her hand around Beth’s cheek, meeting her eyes. “Honey, you’re going to show him everything eventually. There’s no reason to hide the goods up front.”

  She walked back to the closet and stooped down to pull out a pair of gold three-inch heels. She placed them next to the bed below the dress, positioning them as if an invisible person wore the outfit. “It’ll be great. You’ll see.”

  Beth nodded, nipping on her bottom lip as her sister walked to the bedroom door. It had to be great. So little had been going well for her lately. She needed to escape, for one night at least, all the bad choices and mistakes she’d made. Tomorrow she’d go back to serving overpriced microbrews and tapas to preppy skiers that traveled to town for the famous Snowedin Mountains.

  Just inside the door, Kelly paused, staring down at the papers lying out on her dresser. The first draft of the agenda and invitation list she and Lanie had put together for their upcoming high school reunion. “Looks like you guys are making some progress on the reunion plans.”

  Beth nodded. That had been one of the most surprising and exciting things about coming home. She never thought she’d love planning her high school reunion, but it had turned out to be a lot of fun determining where and what to do at the event, and it was great to get to spend time with her high school friends again and remember the person she was before Paul. “Only three more months. Lanie and I are going to start looking for caterers next week. And Noah’s sister already promised that Sugar Plums can provide the desserts for us.”

  “Just make sure you put down Frosty Pitcher as liquor provider.” Kelly smiled, but the brightness didn’t entirely reach her eyes. Beth wondered what was concerning Kelly, but knew better than to ask. Kelly would share when she was ready, and never before.

  “Absolutely.”

  Turning to face her, Kelly motioned toward the dress spread across the bed. “Don’t forget to wear your push-up bra. Show him what he’s getting. Once he’s drooling at your feet, all those nerves will disappear.”

  Beth smiled back at her sister. Her stomach somersaulted at the idea of having two men drooling at her feet. That’d be worth all the nerves and queasiness.

  “Have a good time,” Kelly called behind her as she exited the room, shutting the door with a resounding thud that slammed Beth in the chest. Alone, the nervousness rebounded.

  Not sure what else to do to calm the shaking of her fingers and toes, Beth slid to her desk and flipped up the screen of her laptop. She logged onto the Fantasies Fulfilled forum, flipping back through all the conversations she’d had with the men she was to meet. Three men had responded to her fantasy, but only one of the couples had really struck a chord with her while they conversed. The two guys were witty and fun, liked the same B horror movies she loved, and considered the mountains and snow just as majestic as she did. They never exchanged names, but they’d discussed all the important details like how much she loved a guy going down on her and how they wanted to watch her touch herself.

  She clicked on the last note they’d sent her, only days ago. See you at the Snowedin Lodge at five o’clock. We’ll be waiting, sexy.

  Glancing toward the clock, Beth’s stomach dropped. It was already three thirty. They must have already checked in, probably waiting for her at the fancy hotel. The butterflies in her stomach grew to hawks. She clutched her center to keep them from escaping. There was no turning back now. Two men waited for her. She couldn’t disappoint them.

  “Are you sure about this?” Dell’s hand shook as he placed the bottle of champagne and three crystal flutes on the table. He didn’t know the tastes of the woman they were meeting, alcohol had not been on their list of important conversation topics on the Fantasies Fulfilled site, but champagne seemed a safe guess. From what he’d seen, most women loved champagne.

  Marcos shook his head. “Yes, mio sole. Just like the last time you asked.” His native Naples accent slipped over each word, the hairs on Dell’s body standing at attention. Foreign men were always smoking hot, and Marcos was no exception.

  “I’m not only okay with this, I’m excited about it.” Marcos grabbed Dell’s hand from where he’d rearranged the glasses for the fifth time since they’d arrived. His dark, olive skin was a beautiful contrast against Dell’s tanned complexion. “Remember, I’m the one that suggested we sign up for Fantasies Fulfilled. I’m the one that arranged for the hotel and filled out the questionnaire of what we desired in a woman. If I had any reservations about this, I wouldn’t have done any of it.”

  Marcos pulled Dell close, pressing his lips to his ear. “I love you, mio amore. Nothing could change that.”

  Dell nodded, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. They’d been talking about partaking in this fantasy for over a month, ever since Marcos received the enticing invitation. They’d been contemplating adding a third to their couple for a while, but when the thick black envelope detailing what Fantasies Fulfilled offered had arrived at their business office, they’d both sensed it was time to make their dream a reality.

  It had only been further proof they’d picked the right site when they found an ad wishing for the exact same night as them. A night filled with hot sex, hot men, and no commitments. Tomorrow they’d all walk away with no hurt feelings or broken promises, each having received exactly what they’d asked for.

  “Tonight is going to be fun. Don’t worry.”

  For Dell, the idea to add a third to their couple had spawned with the arrival of his high school reunion invite, listing Beth Ranson as one of the chairs to the event. His high school girlfriend, the girl he’d left when he’d been confused in college about whether he wanted to be with men or women. He could still envision her to this day, wavy strawberry blonde hair flowing to her waist, little brown freckles across her nose that he loved to kiss, and those big green eyes that could bring him to his knees.

  He’d always regretted the way he left Beth. Sending her a Dear Joan e-mail and never replying to her many responding voice mails and letters was cowardly and a great deal less than she deserved. It was the single greatest mistake of his life, but he’d been a kid, and confused by his desire not only for her, but for his male college roommate. It’d been best for her if he left. That way she could move on to someone who was devoted to her, not confused about which side of the fence he wanted to
stand on.

  Maybe at the high school reunion he could apologize, let her know it wasn’t about her, but was about him. He knew people said that often, but at least for him, it’d been true.

  The electronic mechanism of the door sounded, alerting them to their date’s arrival using the key card they’d left for her at the front desk, as they’d instructed her they would do, so they could all meet in private, away from any potential acquaintances Dell might still have in town.

  He wouldn’t have chosen to come back to Snowedin, if their mystery lady hadn’t requested it. For many of the snow bunny set, Snowedin was a glamorous ski town, but to him it was only his childhood home. He’d hardly been back since he graduated from college and moved to Boston, but he didn’t want to sully even one second of tonight with the possibility of someone else’s judgment. What the three of them did together was their own business and no one else’s.

  Dell forced his thoughts of Beth to the back of his mind. All the mistakes he’d made with Beth were in the past. Right now, the present held so much promise. He planned to enjoy every moment of tonight.

  The door creaked open. He looked up at Marcos, his dark curly hair falling around his forehead, his olive skin glowing like his smile. He grinned back at his partner of three years. The man he loved. He had to stop thinking about all the harm he’d done to Beth. It was years ago. Everyone got their heart broken in high school, and they survived.
