'If you say so,' she answered, meeting Denny's eye.

'I do say so.' His grin was broad and puckish, irresistible. 'And even if we do get slung off the island, all we have to do is hop on a plane, hole up at our London place, and shag each others' brains out there instead.'

'Do you have other places too?' She hadn't pegged being a professor of volcanology as a lucrative employment, but clearly it was.

'Oh, Denny has places all over the place,' Ed chipped in, reaching around to give his lover a playful thump on the shoulder, 'His family is rolling in it. Titles up the wazoo.' As Laurie turned around, walking backwards for a step or two, to watch their by-play, Denny gave Ed a mock threatening glare. 'His real name is the Honorable Edmund St. John Denbeigh James, don't you know.'

'So you're a toff?' Laurie challenged.

'Pah!' said Denny, kicking a plume of sand in Ed's direction, before scanning the beach ahead of them. 'Look, there's a spot… a nice hollow, if you're worried about being watched all of a sudden.' He gave Laurie a wink. 'We just need those bloody seagulls to vamoose.'

With that, he took off along the beach with a soft whoop, clearly intent on getting the seabirds to vacate his chosen trysting place by means of waving his bottle at them.

Laurie couldn't help but grin. Aristocrat or otherwise, there was something free and happy and young about the beautiful blond man that touched the heart. No wonder Ed adored him. Who wouldn't? She turned to her companion and wasn't the least bit surprised to see Ed looking in his lover's direction with such a fond expression in his eyes that Laurie felt almost teary.

'You love him, don't you?'

'Yes, I do… He's all the world to me,' said Ed simply, still smiling in Denny's direction.

'It's obvious he feels the same. I can tell, and I barely know either of you.' She followed his gaze, watching Denny, who'd strolled into the sea now he'd vanquished the gulls, and was kicking around in the shallows. 'I still wonder what… well, what you need me for though. You're such a perfect pair. I'd have thought you wouldn't need anybody but each other.'

Ed paused for thought, and then turned to her, with a little shrug. 'Mostly we don't need anyone else. We have all we need in each other.' He looked skyward for a moment, as if looking for a way to express what he meant. 'But every now and again, one or the other of us will just have a yearning for the shape of a woman, for the voice of a woman. I don't know… for that special way of looking at the world that a woman has.' His eyes met hers, very level and serious now. 'There used to be a girl, Anya… we all lived together for a while, and we got on really well. It seemed as if it was going to last, but then she met a guy at the college where she worked, and fell for him, and she wanted a conventional life with him.' He shrugged again. 'We were happy for her. Still are. And she's doing great with her new husband.'

'I see,' said Laurie, sort of seeing. She looked up at the beautiful night sky, and then across the white beach, to the equally beautiful man who'd abandoned his splashing and who was walking back towards them, his face alight with joy and mischief. Then, she flipped her gaze to the man at her side.

I'm so lucky tonight. I couldn't ask for anything better. Even if I never see these two again, I'll remember this for the rest of my life, and be glad of it.

'See. Birds all sorted. Beverage shaken not stirred,' said Denny, setting down the bottle and then whisking the rug out of Ed's hands. He surveyed the newly cleared area then spread out the thick, capacious square of tartan cloth. The perfect size for three. Grasping both their hands, he pulled the two of them down beside him.

But no sooner had he settled them, and given each a peck on the cheek, than he was up again, grinning and shrugging out of his waistcoat. With an animal grace, he peeled off his shirt, and stepped out of his trousers, and then in the wink of an eye, he'd whipped off his snug white underwear too. Giving them just a second or two first to admire him, he flopped down onto the rug, and struck a pose that would have made an odalisque envious.

Bloody hell… you're gorgeous.

She'd seen both men naked last night, of course, but there was a big difference between spying on them from a distance, and being up close, up close enough to touch. Denny's body was wonderful, smooth and toned, not a muscle-man, but developed in all the right places. His cock was thick and eager, rising hard.

'Well then?' He nodded at the surfeit of clothing that Laurie and Ed still wore.

Ed waggled his eyebrows and grinned, his fingers flying to his jeans' zipper.

'Um… yeah, right.' Even after the things they'd done, Laurie still felt a little nervous, stripping off here on a public beach. They'd walked a good way from the resort, but there still might be some restless, lonely, or insomniac person walking this way.

'Go on, gorgeous, you can do it. You're delicious. We want to see all of you.' Denny's smile was seductive and challenging, although Laurie couldn't really concentrate on it, because her eyes were fatally drawn to his cock, and the way he was unashamedly giving it a frisk.

All of me? Am I up to this? You two are both so incredibly fit, so goddamn beautiful. And I'm just an averagely pretty woman with an average body.

Denny edged towards her, as if he'd heard her thoughts, and behind her, she heard Ed fling away his jeans, then, presumably his underwear.

'Whatever you're thinking, don't think it,' Denny commanded, 'We've already seem most of you… and you're a goddess, woman, an absolute goddess.' He slid his hands over her shoulders and attacked the bow at the back of her neck, while from behind, Ed unfastened the zip in the side of her dress.

In the blink of an eye, she was naked, the pretty sun frock flung away along with the men's clothing.

'Beautiful.' Denny's mouth settled on her lips.

'Adorable.' Ed brushed her hair aside and settled a light kiss on the nape of her neck.

Laurie settled a hand on Denny's waist, and fishing around behind herself, found Ed's hip with the other one. Both men had hot, smooth skin; both their bodies were firm, their solid reality powerful and reassuring. She could do this. It was right. It was good. It affirmed life and joy and banished all her doubt in herself.

'So what do we do then? I'm not used to three bodies. I mean, with one man, I know what goes where… and with two men together, well, you just focus on each other.' She squeezed each one of them, searching for answers that might be mapped on the epidermis of each of her lovers. 'How do we organize the three of us?'

'It's easy,' said Ed, kissing her again, 'Just plunge in, do what you fancy. There's nothing right or wrong. No checklist or anything.' He ran his hands up and down her flanks in a slow soothing movement, while at her front Denny cradled his face in his two hands and kissed her with an extraordinary gentleness and delicacy. Dabbing little kisses around the periphery of her mouth, he sighed against her skin, and then spoke up.

'Why not start by repaying Ed's compliment?' He ran his tongue suggestively along the inner edge of her lower lip, flicking and teasing. 'He gave you good head, why not do the same to him? You've got such a beautiful mouth… and a naughty tongue.' For a moment he pushed his own tongue between her lips and teased hers.

Yes, she could do that. She liked giving head. It was another way in which she felt powerful… and playful. Jim had been disappointingly unenthusiastic whenever she'd suggested it, and she'd always been flabbergasted by that. What kind of man didn't much like having his cock sucked?

'Oh hell, yes,' growled Ed behind her, 'That's a great idea. Are you up for it, doll?'

Doll? Laurie laughed. Nobody had ever called her 'doll' before, but she liked it.

'Absolutely!' Giving Denny a last kiss, she turned in his hold, and faced Ed, whose face was aglow. Kissing him quickly, she pushed hard on his shoulders, urging him to lie back on the blanket. The men were right. This was easy. She just had to follow her instincts.

Ed subsided, stretching out on his back, half sitting up, resting on his elbows. Laurie shuffled around beside him, and beside her, Denny moved into a better position on too.

'Isn't that a sight for sore eyes?' he murmured, reaching out to run his fingers up the side of Ed's rigid, erect cock. It was pointing towards the moon, hard and ready to be serviced. 'Just play with the tip, for starters. He likes that.' Sliding his fist down the base, he seemed to offer his friend's penis for Laurie's approval.

Adjusting herself on the rug, Laurie knelt and braced herself with her left hand, while with the fingers of her right hand she encircled Ed, just above Denny's grip. The darker man moaned, and moved seductively against the tartan weave beneath him.

Laurie extended her tongue, licking the tip as suggested. She paused and smiled at Denny. Ed was just like a beautiful living lollipop that they were sharing. When she engulfed his glans, impatient to taste him, he groaned again.
