It was a taunt, one that I knew would get under his skin. Anderson was a man of routine, strategy, and smarts. Very rarely did he lose control and most of those times had been with me. But never had he allowed his façade of control to truly slip during sex.
There was a beat between us, the absence of air, as the clock ticked the tension away. I spotted the smirk first and jumped, sensing something predatory and feral. I made it halfway off the couch before his long arms captured me, yanking me back against his chest. He didn’t speak, he just tossed me on the couch.
A thrill ran through me as he exerted his power and I scrambled to get away from him, not because I didn’t want him, I did, but I liked the chase. I wanted him to catch me. Claim me. I crawled over the arm of the couch, laughing as he prowled toward me. With the furniture between us, I hooked my thumbs in my shorts, teasing him with a peek of my skin. If I thought the obstacle would protect me, I was wrong. He smiled wickedly and used his long legs to climb over the cushions, cornering me in a small space against the wall.
“I think you’re out of moves,” he said, smiling wickedly.
I eyed the space to his right, just enough for me to get through to the hallway. If I could slip through…
Anderson was tall and lithe, his arms made to slice through water, but I was fast, small, and I feinted left, using his over-confidence to toss him off balance. I jumped over the coffee table, knocking a bowl of marbles to the floor, the sound of them hitting like pounding rain. I kept running, laughing as Anderson cursed at the hard balls under his feet, trying not to fall. I looked over my shoulder to make sure he wasn’t following me and crashed into something hard.
“Oof,” I said, the air knocking out of me. I looked up into Hayden’s handsome face. “I was just…”
“Jesus, Heaven, it sounds like a herd of buffalo running through the house.”
His eyes flicked over my shoulder, Anderson having made it across the landmine of marbles in the living room.
“We were just…” I tried again but trailed off when I saw the mischievous grin twist his lips. I looked back and forth at both men, weighting what was happening here, what was running through their minds when I saw them grin at one another and realized that I was absolutely, utterly screwed.
“Okay boys,” I said, holding up my hands in surrender, “let’s talk this over…”
Hayden wrapped his hands around my wrists, effectively taking me hostage while Anderson closed in from behind. The hallway was tight, there was no way out, but as their bodies moved closer to mine and my belly fluttered with excitement I knew one thing to be true; I didn’t want out. I wanted this.
Hayden didn’t wait for an invitation, kissing me hard on the mouth. Anderson’s hands settled on my hips, pressing his hard length against me. I didn’t want just foreplay this time or a hot make-out session, I wanted as much as I could get, as much as they could give, and before they could walk away I took control.
“We’re not supposed to do this,” I said to Anderson, my voice sounding different in the shadowy hallway.
“I feel like the exertion rule from the doctor was a little vague. I’ve been thinking about it. I think we have a few options.”
I wait for Anderson to tell him he was full of shit, but a quick glance told me he was listening.
“Oh yeah?” I said, waiting to hear what he had in mind.
“I think we can get creative.” It was so good to see that sexy, dirty smile on his face again.
I never wanted it to leave.
Anderson’s hands cinched around my waist, encouraging me, so I did the safest thing. I tugged at the button on Hayden’s pants, gently easing them over his hips. He stripped his shirt over his head and I kissed his chest, feeling the weight of his cock press into my belly.
“Now you,” I said, suddenly, turning to face Anderson. His eyebrows lifted to his forehead but he didn’t stop me when I loosened the tie on his shorts and pushed them to the floor. We’d already established how ready he was and there was no doubt when his cock sprang up. While I undressed him, Hayden moved behind me, kissing my neck and ear, whispering how hot it was that I was wearing his number, our number.
“And as much as I love seeing it on you, it’s got to go,” he said, lifting it over my head. Anderson made quick work of my shorts and Hayden’s cotton pants fell easily to the ground. We were all naked, all fully aroused.
Their kisses blazed over my body, covering my front and back. Anderson, keeping his eyes off Hayden’s naked body, lowered himself to his knees licking between my thighs, trailing his fingers down my overheated skin. I reared back, so very sensitive, hitting Hayden with my head, and he caught me, muttering, “Fuck,” in my ear.
Anderson looked up at the curse and the three of us started laughing. “This, is sexy,” he declared, “but a little awkward, right?”
“Totally,” I said, hyperaware of Hayden’s cock near my backside. “But I like it. We’ve never been porn stars. We’ve never had an orgy and you two have never seen one another like this.”
“So we just…” Anderson said, I saw the red in his cheeks.
“We take it slow,” I said. “Or fast. Or however we want it.” We’re stripped down and bare, breathing heavy and completely, totally aroused. I reached out to both of them, dragging my nails down both their chests, traveling down their bellies and below. Hayden pressed his back against the wall and I made good on the promise to be creative.
Anderson did, too.
“This is new for me, for all of us,” I told them, marveling at their exquisite bodies. “We’ll learn together.”
And that was exactly what we did.
Epilogue
“Do you have everything packed?” Oliver asked. He had a list on his phone and had been shouting out items all morning.
“Yes,” I said, dragging my bag down the stairs. He walked over and took it from me, stacking it next to the others.
“Passport?”
“Yes.”
“ID?”
“Yes.”
“Money?”
“Yep.”
“Chargers?”
“Yes, Ollie,” I said, trying not to be annoyed. We’d gone over this already. A dozen times. “I’ve got everything.”
“Me too,” shouted Jackson, pulling his suitcase behind him. Oliver looked up when he saw his outfit and I covered my mouth to hide my laughter.
“You’re not wearing that.”
“Of course I am,” he said, spinning so we could see his shirt. On the front was a photo of Anderson, standing beneath the A5 Gym logo. On the back was Hayden—same pose, same logo. “We have two clients representing us in Tokyo. It’s a marketing dream.”
“I can’t believe we’re going to Tokyo,” I said for the millionth time. “I mean, it’s one thing to have one boyfriend in the Olympics, but two?”
“I still have no idea how you’re going to justify this to the press,” Oliver said.
“I’ve managed okay so far.” The Olympic promotional team was all over Hayden and Anderson being from the same small town and now representing the United States in the Olympics. We’d all be interviewed, saying nothing more than the fact we’re a tight group of friends. We figured the world didn’t need to know everything about our lives. Not yet, at least.
“Shit,” Oliver cursed. “I think I forgot the tickets.”
“Nope,” I said, holding up the papers. “I’ve got them.”
He gave me a smile. “You really do have everything under control.”
“You say that like you’re surprised.”
“I’m not surprised,” Jackson said, easing past me, giving me a kiss on the cheek. “I mean, you know that’s why they want you there, right?”
“Who wants me where?”
“Anderson and Hayden…and well us, every day. Without you we have no map, no focus, no destination.” He slid his arm around my waist. “With you? We’re steady, and they need that steadiness in the stands during every match and event.
”
I fingered the ring on my left hand. They’d given it to me the night we found out they’d both made the Games. Not an engagement, not exactly, just a gift celebrating our dedication to one another. They gave me a ring and in return I’d given them a gift in return. I walked up to both of them and first pushed up Oliver’s sleeve, kissing the tattoos on his bicep. Then did the same to Jackson, who had an identical constellation inked on his arm. Hayden’s and Anderson’s would be proudly displayed during the Games as well.
The boys grabbed the suitcases so we could get on the plane to meet up with our champions and I watched them go, thinking about those tattoos, the stars afnd what they meant.
There was one for each of the four; one for the boy that made me feel safe; that picked me up when I fell, when I cried, when I soared. One for the boy that made me laugh; with dimples and a lopsided grin. One was for the boy that made me feel sexy and adventurous, special and unique. And then one for the boy that had always owned my heart, keeper of my soul and my personal savior.
Together they connected, like markers along the way to the one star that linked them together.
It wasn’t really a constellation, but a map, a map of our road to happiness.

Dear Readers,
Writing Heaven was a big risk for me at the time. It was digging into some real life stuff and jumping into a genre I’d walked away from. The success of the book allowed me to process the hard stuff as well as rekindle my love for young adult contemporary romance but with a reverse harem twist. Pretty much my favorite thing to do.
I always want to thank my beta reader Jennifer who keeps me on track, Vanessa for regining in my edits, Angstyg for creating amazing covers over and over. All the Beta readers over in the Chat with Pep! And of course all the awesome readers in Angel’s Antics that made this book happen.
I’m currently working on book 2 of the Boys of Ocean Beach and a new YA RH Contemp I am super excited to share with you all. Thanks for going on this journey with me!
