Every August, Owen drives north for the fantasy football draft weekend. Same lake house. Same four guys. Same ritual of beer and bad decisions. This year, Sloane came with him. He'd been putting it off for three years. He told himself it was because she'd be bored. He told himself a lot of things.
By midnight on the first night, with the lights low and the empties stacking up and Cole already two drinks deep into undoing three years of restraint, Owen found himself sitting in a chair in the corner of the master bedroom?watching.
What follows is explicit, raw, and mercilessly detailed. Sloane gives herself to all three of his teammates over the course of one long, humid night?multiple positions, no limitations, every man taking exactly what he wanted?while her husband watches from the corner chair and feels something he won't be able to name until much later, something that sits between jealousy and obsession and a hunger so specific it frightens him.
At the end, it's his turn. He gets everything he watched all night?and then he licks her clean, and holds her in the dark, and thinks: yeah. That happened. Good.
