this.” Jonathan eyed the jungle
they would have to cross again with grim resignation,
remembering the rustle of the large creature with the huge tail.
“You philosophize too often, I have told you that.”
“I want to enjoy her and not feel guilty,” Charles admitted.

“You want to fuck her and not feel guilty,” Jonathan amended
bluntly, trying to feel neutral over the idea of Charles and Jenna
together, but not succeeding entirely. “Unless, you are harboring
some foolish notions of romantic love in your young head?”
“I am not sure. She is very beautiful and courageous and
intelligent. Whatever I feel, it isn’t the same simple lust I have felt
for other women. The major also, he looks at her with more than
simple admiration.” Charles also gazed at the tangled vegetation
but with an abstract expression. “What if we all fall in love with
her? It could happen. Is it possible for three men to love one
woman and share her?”
That observation hit a little too close to home. Lifting his knife
to swipe at a frond, Jonathan said flatly, “You are the romantic.
You tell me. And if your memory serves you at all, perhaps you
will recall that I do not fall in love. I don’t believe in it.”
Charles lifted his brows. “They say the most jaded fall the
hardest.”
Jonathan scowled. “ They are idiots. Now, shall we go back and
wade through the forest of teeth and stinging bugs? I cannot wait to
pass under that tree again, the one with the green thing lurking in
its branches with eyes like jewels and a girth that undoubtedly
means he could swallow a cow whole.”
Charles laughed. “I’m right behind you, my lord.”
Sourly, Jonathan murmured, “How intrepid of you, Charles.”

Her hand grasped in Anthony’s long fingers, Jenna walked
slowly across the sand. It was as if she could feel Jonathan’s gaze
still upon her. Their eyes had met briefly when major had risen
from his seat at their inevitable evening fire a few minutes before
and taken her hand with importunate demand. The unfathomable
aqua depths of the earl’s eyes revealed nothing.
Did he mind? she wondered. Lord Charbeau being an
emotional enigma. He made love with tender skill, but his desire
for her could be little more than that, which was something she
needed to face. Actually, she reminded herself, as Anthony led her
to the crude shelter, it was better for everyone if he didn’t mind.
That was what she wanted, wasn’t it? They were all friends—
comrades, as she had said before, and she offered her body in the
same spirit they would face a hungry leopard to protect her, risking
their own life and limb.
So, the earl was wickedly good-looking and a tender lover,
what of it? Anthony Reeves was handsome and she had no doubt
he would be careful of her. And Charles was an irresistibly
attractive young man. His teasing remarks and the smoldering
looks he sent her way were both amusing and flattering.
Dismissing Jonathan from her mind as much as possible, she
proceeded inside, seeing the same mat where she had lain with the
earl the night before with a pang of regret for what could be… no,
for heavens sake , she told herself firmly, all three men only wanted
the same thing and that was all she wanted to give.
“Let me.” Anthony’s voice was low, muted, his glinting gaze

untie the loose bow above her breasts, baring them. The garment
slipped free of her body altogether seconds later.
Then he unfastened his breeches and shoved them downward,
his erection coming free, stiff against his stomach. The light was
better than the night before and she stared at the rampant length of
it, wondering if he was as big as the earl was. A shiver of
anticipation ran through her body to pool in her stomach.
