Shannon finally dropped the phone and cradled my head in his hands as his mouth devoured mine. His amazingly sweet, gentle kiss was exactly what I had been craving after our adventurous morning. All the confusion I had been feeling after coming home from New York, seemed to evaporate as the weekend progressed. I was deeply in love with both of them and knew I could never simply walk away from this 'arrangement,' no matter what.

"I'll be right back, don't you dare move." He panted heavily against my ear before getting to his knees and tugging his jeans back up into position. Jesus, his body was astonishing. I smiled, watching him race up the stairs to the bedroom. Still feeling funny, being completely naked in front of him, I crossed my legs and closed my arms over my bare chest. I lay there on the rug in front of the fireplace, suddenly feeling a little silly. It was the middle of the day and here we were about to have sex like a pair of horny teenagers that snuck away for the weekend.

Shannon returned, kneeling at my crossed legs, smirking as he pushed them apart. He leaned over my body, covering my lips with his and shoving the denim material down his hips. Slipping his tongue past my lips, his fingers knotted in my hair.

I swear, Shannon had the ability to know when I needed him to be gentle. He also knew when to be rough, but my favorite was when he managed to pull off both effortlessly. His mouth traveled down my collarbone, gently biting while slightly tugging on my hair. He continued moving down, flickering his tongue over each hardened nipple before sucking them into his mouth, one at a time. His teeth sent an electric current of tingles down to my core and I found myself raising my hips in frustration. Getting the reaction he q see wanted, he moved back up to be face to face with me. He sighed when my fingers wrapped around him, giving him a few firm strokes. "I love you." I whispered, gazing up at him.

Picking up the foil wrapper, he stared at me as he pulled it from my fingers. He raised up on his knees and promptly tore it open and rolled the condom over his thick length. Leaning back over me, he settled himself between my legs, slipping his arms under my legs and forcing them to rest on his shoulders. He slid into me with ease.

Our bodies fit together perfectly, as if created specifically for this, and it made me realize how much I missed them both. I would be home tomorrow and knew that Jared would probably want to get together soon. Eventually, my brain got back on track with my heart, but so did the worry about how this whole thing would end. I couldn't help but worry that I would one day be broken hearted by both of them and it terrified me. I had to stop thinking and relax my body, focus on this delicious man above me. My head tilted back against the soft rug and the first moans escaped my lips.

Our bodies moved so easily together as our tongues entwined in another passionate, fiery kiss. When he pulled away, his teeth closed down on my bottom lip, biting it hard before finally letting it go.

His hips came to a stop, getting my full attention as he grinned down at me and began rolling them slowly. He watched my reaction, the way I cried out and writhed beneath him. He loved it, I knew he did, just as much as I enjoyed watching him.

I loved the way he could make me feel like my brain and body were on fire at the same time. I was caught between the intoxication of wanting my impending climax, and wanting to extend this magical moment, never allow it to end.

I couldn't hold back any longer, once that heat began to spread, it was like fireworks going off. I clung to him as my body convulsed wildly. Shannon didn't try to delay his climax either and groaned aloud as his fingers twisted into the rug. Pressing his forehead against mine, his long hair flowed down, tickling my cheek.

Without even allowing me a few minutes for my heart to stop racing, he was up on his feet and holding out a hand. "Let's get cleaned up."

Reluctantly, I let him pull me up and usher me into the bathroom. He turned on the water in the shower and stepped under the warm stream. "You coming?" He asked, watching me step inside.

Facing him, I closed my eyes as the soothing warmth poured over my head and down my back. Shannon was quiet as we each cleaned our bodies and dried off. We got dressed and I reached down to pick up my phone. I was reading Sara's very pissed off message as we walked out the door to get some lunch.

I had no idea that Shannon actually sent her the photo of us on the floor making out. She was probably so confused. I didn't bother to respond, I knew that this could require a face to face meeting. How do you explain to someone, that you're in love with two men?

We stopped at a few shops, and I was impressed with how well Shannon knew the area. Sadly, that nagging question of how many times had he brought another woman to Wyoming continued to race through my mind. I had no right to be jealous of anyone or anything, but I just couldn't help it.

We made it back to the suite just after dusk and as soon as we were inside, he nudged my side. "Hey, I have another bottle of that pink champagne you love. How about you go put on that cute little swimsuit and I'll grab some glasses. Meet you outside."

He was already in the water when I came out onto the balcony, but stood and helped me in. Handing me a glass, I sat next to him. The water was perfect and it was great to just be able to sit and talk, like really talk. I shared things with Shannon about my family that I hadn't even told Jared yet. We spent a few hours out on that balcony and after sharing secrets, I honestly felt closer to him than ever before.

We flew back to LA early and he dropped me off at my apartment. We said goodbyes and I wasn't sure when I'd see him again, since we both had jobs to do, but he promised it wouldn't be long. I unpacked and threw a load of laundry in before opening my laptop to go over my schedule.

The longer I sat there going through my emails, the more frustrated I became. All the fun I had with Shannon this weekend made me feel so special, but at the same time, it made me realize that I had to set things right with Jared. I closed the laptop and raced into my bedroom to change.

During my short drive I couldn't decide what I'd say to him, all I knew was that I needed to see him. There were cars everywhere and clearly he wasn't expecting me. He made no movement to get up and greet me when I walked in, he just smiled and continued the conversation he was having.

I sat down, listening to him discuss a radio interview he had recently done. They went back and forth for about five minutes before he nodded, wanting me to follow him. We walked up the stairs and into his bedroom. The second we were inside and the door closed, I slid my arms around his neck. "God, I missed you so much."
