“We’re going to redo all the work that Gretchen has done. Just relax, we’ll behave.” Jackson said, brooking no argument.

Simone dropped her head back down and shook it from side to side.
What have I just gotten myself into?
She knew that she was trapped, considering she was naked and couldn’t get up without flashing the men.

Jackson looked at Xander and nodded his head towards Simone’s bottom half. Xander understood instantly and walked over to Simone’s legs. Jackson grabbed the oil that Gretchen had been using and poured some in his hands before passing it to Xander. Xander also poured oil onto his palms and rubbed his hands together. They looked at each other, took deep breaths and lowered their hands for the first touch of Simone’s smooth butterscotch skin.

The moment they touched her, Simone tensed and breathed in sharply. Jackson started at her neck and firmly smoothed down her back to her tailbone. Xander began at her ankle and slid up her leg to her upper thigh, just below the edge of the towel.

The men’s hands were rough and sandpapery from years of hard labor and the feel of them on her sensitive skin sent a fire raging through her veins that she didn’t understand. Her pulse raced like she was running a marathon. And her breathing became labored. A strange flutter started in her tummy as Jackson’s hands lightly caressed past the sides of her breasts and Xander’s fingertips came dangerously close to her most intimate place. And Simone couldn’t stop the sounds that escaped her lips.

Their seductively rough hands delicately kneaded her tense muscles. But Simone realized that the tension in her muscles was not from stress, but building from the contact of their skin against hers. The fluttering in her stomach gained intensity as the pounding in her nether region sped up and she felt moisture flood the area.

Never in her life had she felt feelings so intense and they scared the crap out of her. As she felt the tension reaching a crescendo, she couldn’t take it anymore and was afraid of what would happen if their magic hands continued.

“Guys please…please stop…I can’t!” Simone cried out.

Something in her voice must have warned the men that she was serious, because they instantly stopped.

“Can you give me my robe please?” Simone said with tears clogging her throat.

Xander grabbed her robe and handed it to her. Simone took it gratefully.

“Can you please turn around?” Simone asked softly.

The men stayed quiet as they turned and she put on her robe and fled the room.

“Fuck! She was so close!” Xander said slamming his fist against the padded table, once she was gone.

“Calm down, Xan. This is just going to take time and finesse. She’s innocent-” Jackson said calmly before Xander cut him off.

“To be twenty-nine she’s more innocent than a five-year-old! It’s like she’s been sheltered all her life. But Jesus, that was hot. Did you hear her? I know she was about to come, if she would’ve held out just a little longer. God, I’m still hard just thinking about it!” Xander exclaimed, trying to adjust himself under the towel.

“I know. Just be patient, we’re working on her, wearing her down little by little.” Jackson sighed, rubbing his hands down his face, not as calm as he seemed.

“You know it’s killing you too. You know you want her so badly you can taste it. So don’t give me that ‘be patient’ shit.” Xander scowled.

“Of course I want her, dipshit. But that doesn’t change the fact that she’s not ready…for even one of us, let alone two.” Jackson glowered at Xander.

“I know, I know. I’m just worried that she’s going to say no and I’ve never wanted someone so bad in my life. Women don’t usually act like this around us. They may pretend to be hesitant about entering into a relationship with two men, but they usually give in pretty quickly. But she doesn’t even know yet that we want to share her and she’s already running. That doesn’t bode well for us.” Xander stated dejectedly.

“Yeah. Fuck!” Jackson finally exploded with frustration, knowing that there was a distinct possibility that they wouldn’t ‘get the girl’ this time around.

~~~

Simone ran into the changing room, slamming the door and falling back against it. Tears that she had been holding back started to slowly slide down her face.
What is wrong with me?! FUCK! I reacted like such a slut from a simple massage. And with
two
men! Is that even normal?!

Simone swiped angrily at the tears on her face and pushed off of the door. She threw off the robe and quickly dressed. She braided her oiled hair back up and wound it around in a bun so that the oils didn’t get all over her clothes.

Once she was ready she walked over to the door and opened it a crack and peeked out, making sure the guys were nowhere in sight. She didn’t think she’d be able to face them again for a while.

When she saw that the coast was clear she high-tailed it back out to the front of the building to the front desk to get her room key. As the girl at the front desk handed Simone the key, a now familiar gruff voice spoke behind her.

“So how was the massage? Did it help you relax any?” Rachel asked.

Simone turned around as a blush spread quickly across her cheeks.

“Oh it was lovely. Gretchen was wonderful.” Simone replied softly.

“I hear that the boys finished up for her. That must have been nice.” Rachel said knowingly.

Simone’s blush spread to her roots and down her neck.

“I…I…uh…it was interesting,” was all that Simone could find to say.

“I’d say!” Rachel laughed delightedly. “You’re one lucky girl.”

“Well…I think I’m going to go up to my room and wash the oil off of me.” Simone tried to dodge the subject of the two men.

“You should take a bath. We have wonderful jetted tubs, and it’ll help you to relax further.” Rachel said, letting the subject slide.

“Thanks. I think I just might take you up on that.” Simone smiled at the older woman.

“Will you be taking lunch in your room or are you coming back down to eat with the boys? I think you should come back down, if only to spend time getting to know them. They can be a little overwhelming, but once you get to know them, they’re some really great guys.” Rachel said before she walked away.

Simone stared after her and in mid-step a few feet away, Rachel turned and looked at Simone thoughtfully.

“You should give them a chance. I think you’d be good for them. Oh and if you do come down for lunch, make sure you wear your hair down. Men love long flowing hair.” Rachel smiled and then turned and walked away.

Why does everyone, including the guys refer to them as a whole?!
Simone wanted to shout across the room to the retreating lodge owner. Instead she just shook her head in confusion and headed to her room.

Chapter 5

After serious deliberations, Simone decided first not to call Amber. She was so embarrassed over her reaction to Jackson and Xander, she really didn’t want to talk about it. And second, she mustered up enough bravery to take Rachel up on her suggestion to spend more time with the guys. Avoiding them wasn’t going to work, if they had anything to do about it. And at least if she spent more time with them she could decide which one she may want.

Another big decision she had made while taking a relaxing bath, was that maybe losing her virginity to one of the men, wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. She had never really thought much about keeping it from a moral standpoint, whether to wait for love or marriage. It was more of a lack of interest. She had never been a sexual person, so she didn’t care to have sex, didn’t seek out learning about sex.

But now that the sexual side of herself was finally making an appearance, due to the gorgeous men, she thought that maybe it wasn’t a terrible idea to take advantage of it.
Who knows if I’ll ever feel this way again about a man?

So with a deep fortifying breath and a final swipe to her thick hair, Simone walked out of her room and headed to the dining room in an outfit that Amber had picked out that reached
way
beyond her comfort zone.

“The lights are going to be pretty bright tonight. So it’ll be a perfect time to show Simone. But it also looks like we’re going to be hit with a major snow storm coming in a couple of days.” Xander said looking at the weather on his cellphone. “That’s just great. I know that’ll delay several flights coming in with some of my guests. I have a big group coming in in a couple of days.” Xander said with frustration.

“It’ll be fine. They’ll get here eventually.” Jackson said knowing how the weather worked in Alaska and reminding Xander of it. “But we better make sure we get Simone back to your lodge before it hits, of course after we show her the lights tonight.”

“Definitely.” Xander agreed, and then looked up when he sensed movement in the doorway. “Well, speak of the devil.” Xander said as Simone walked into the dining room and then whistled when he got a good look at her.

Simone was wearing black leggings that fit her thick legs, hips and ass like sin with knee-high brown boots. Over the leggings she wore a form fitting long cream cowl-neck sweater that accentuated her full perky breasts, smaller waist and ridiculous hips and ass. And her hair hung loose in inky black waves down to her tailbone. She had even foregone her glasses for the afternoon.

Both men swallowed audibly and adjusted uncomfortably in their seats.

“Jesus.” Jackson whispered under his breath.

“Are you trying to kill us?” Xander asked as they both stood up as she walked up to the table. “J-Lo and Kim Kardashian have got nothing on you!”

Simone ducked her head down and blushed profusely. “You guys are so weird. I’m shaped like a pear, which isn’t the normal standard of beauty.”

“Please. And who is it that decides what the normal standard of beauty is? You have heard the phrase ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, haven’t you? And what Xander and I see is stunning.” Jackson said seriously.

“Hell, if you’re shaped like a pear, than call me the Fruit Guy, because I love it!” Xander exclaimed, making both Jackson and Simone laugh. “I’ll have to keep that in mind the next time I eat one, because I’m going to savior every juicy bite.” Xander teased her, as he pulled out a chair for her to sit.

“Uh, thanks…I guess.” Simone said as she sat down.

Xander brushed her hair back from her face with gentle fingertips and slid the hair through his fingers to the ends. A shiver coursed down Simone’s spine at the subtly intimate touch.

“You have beautiful hair, Simone. The braids are adorable and most men’s fantasy, but it’s sexy as hell down.” Jackson said to her.

“Why would braids be a fantasy for men?” Simone asked, perplexed.

“It’s the whole schoolgirl thing. Put a girl in braids with a plaid skirt and knee-high socks and black strapped shoes and most men are a goner.” Xander added.

“Really?!” Simone scrunched up her face in confusion. “Why would looking like a little girl interest a grown man? That’s kind of sick.”

“It’s just a fantasy, Simone. The forbidden. But most men that aren’t pedophiles, like the idea of a
grown
woman dressing up like a little girl.” Jackson explained.

“It’s just like woman wanting their man to dress up like a fireman, police officer, or some other guy that wears a uniform that protects and serves. It’s an authority/hero worship thing.” Xander further explained.

“You guys might as well stop now. Because I’m not your average girl that has ever even thought of that kind of stuff.” Simone shook her head in wonder.

“Really? You’ve never had a fantasy of your own?” Xander asked skeptically.

“Nope. My mom kind of sheltered me growing up. And I was okay with it, because I was more fascinated with school, studying and reading. I was a nerd. Am a nerd. I prefer books to fashion magazines. Studying to going out. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.” Simone said uncomfortably for the first time in her life on her lack of experience.

The men just stared at her in disbelief.

“My roommate and best friend is the exact opposite of me in every way. She’s girlie, loves fashion and men, and tall and skinny and beautiful like a model. You guys will get to meet her in about a week when she gets here. She might be more to your liking than me.” Simone said somewhat sadly, thinking about not getting as much attention from the handsome men when her gorgeous scene-stealing friend showed up.

Simone didn’t begrudge Amber her out-going ways, heck it kept the spotlight completely off of her, which she preferred. But now that she was somewhat getting used to the attention they bestowed on her and she still hadn’t chosen which guy she really wanted, she didn’t want one or both of them to fall for her friend.
Selfish much?!

“Nah, I think we’re good. We like what we’ve got right here in front of us.” Xander pointed out.

Taking a deep breath, Simone brought up the subject she had been trying to avoid with both of them.

“Well, it’s not like I can have both of you or anything. So it would be okay that one of you might find interest in Amber.” Simone said quietly. “I can’t believe I’m having this conversation right now!”

“Well Simone, here’s the thing…OW!” Jackson yelled out as Xander kicked him under the table, stopping him from admitting what they really wanted from her.

“What Jackson is trying to say is, you don’t have to pick between us right now. Just spend some more time with us, and we’ll figure it out.” Xander said, giving Jackson the death stare.

“Oh, okay. I think I can do that.” Simone said softly, a pretty blush spreading across her cheeks.

“So we have another surprise for you tonight.” Jackson said to Simone with excitement.

“What is it?” Simone asked curiously.

“We can’t tell you or we’d have to kill you.” Xander joked.

“But we can tell you that you have to stay up really late tonight for it.” Jackson chimed in.

“Is it okay if I take a nap after lunch? That sled ride wore me out and I’ll never make it that late if I don’t.” Simone said, stifling a yawn.

“Of course.” They both said in unison.

Simone just looked at them in wonder as they gestured for the waiter to finally come over to take their orders.
They’re not even related and they act like brothers, they’re so in sync with each other. So weird!

~~~

Strong rough hands caressed all over her naked body. Her skin was on fire and tingled everywhere. Soft lips and wet tongues whispered over her glistening skin. Warm sweet breath fanned over her face as she gasped in passion. Hard teeth grazed her stiff nipples. No inch of her soft flesh had been untouched and her clit throbbed with need. Her eyes were clenched shut in ecstasy, her heart was pounding out of her chest and sweat trickled down her neck. A fingertip caressed at her opening and her eyes flew open at the sensation and she looked down in shock at two faces that were smiling up at her.

Simone’s eyes flew open for real and she sat up so quickly that she became lightheaded. She was covered in sweat. Her heart really was about to pound out of her chest. And her clit drummed out a beat so hard that she thought she’d go crazy. So she squeezed her thighs together trying to stop the torment, but it only enhanced the sensation. She flopped over on the soft mattress, moaning in exasperation.
What the hell is wrong with my body? And what
was
that?! I’ve never had a dream like that before.
Two
men?! Why all of a sudden am I becoming a slut now? Oh yeah…Jackson and Xander. Yep, it’s official…they are ruining my life. I’m turning into an irrational sexed-up hussy.

Besides a few R-rated movies, Simone hadn’t even seen the likes of which she felt and experienced in that dream.

“What random fucked up part of my brain did that shit come from?” Simone uncharacteristically cursed and shouted to the empty room.

Simone shook her head in defeat, getting up from the bed, knowing that her body had won the battle over her head. She couldn’t shake the arousal coursing through her body, so she stripped off her panties and tank-top she had fallen asleep in and got in the shower and turned the water to cold to help cool her need, like she had heard people say in numerous movies, television shows and elsewhere. But all she accomplished was jumping ten feet out of the shower, leaping and dancing around naked and wet, rubbing her hands up and down her arms.

“God! Why would anyone think that was a good idea?!” Simone chattered as she dried off, foregoing the cold shower altogether.

She quickly reapplied some lotion from her earlier bath and threw back on the clothes she had on before and made her way back down stairs to reluctantly find her two tormentors.

“Hi, Rachel. Where are the guys?” Simone asked the lodge owner who was talking with her staff at the front desk.

“Hey, Simone! They’re at the bar waiting for you.” Rachel winked at her. “It’s connected to the dining room. Just go through the doors of the dining room and turn left, go down the short hallway and the bar is on the other side.”

“Okay, thank you.” Simone said, as she left the front desk to follow Rachel’s directions.

The bar area had a surprising and slightly sleek modern look to it, considering the rustic feel of the entire lodge. The bar was in the middle of the room in a square. The lighting on the walls and bar were lowered to give a soft almost seductive glow. And sitting at the bar facing the entrance were Jackson and Xander. Both had their eyes on her the instant she walked in from the hallway.

They took Simone’s breath away, especially after the dream she had. She could still feel their hands and mouths on her skin. Xander had on a blue and black flannel that was undone with a white thermal underneath that hugged his lean frame. His hair hung down in his face like a classic surfer boy. His strong jaw had a fresh coating of blond stubble that was a major contradiction to his boyish dimples that deepened as Simone drew closer to them, making her stomach flip flop uncontrollably.

Jackson had on a gray thermal that clung to his upper body in ridiculous ways, with every muscle on display. Simone marveled over the span of his shoulders and chest, a force to be reckoned with. As usual his curly chestnut hair flopped down on his forehead and curled around his ears and neck, making her fingers twitch at her sides wanting so badly to plunge into the curls.
How can I possibly make a choice between these two? There’s just no way!

Simone took in all of their details in just a few seconds, but couldn’t compete with the weight of their stares and looked down at the floor as she walked the rest of the way to the bar.

“Hello, Simone. How was your nap?” Jackson said deeply as he stood up to greet her and place a soft kiss on her cheek.

“Hi. Good.” Simone squeaked out, as a blush spread across her face thinking of the dream she had while she napped.

“Hey, beautiful.” Xander also stood up and kissed her other cheek.

“Uh…hi, Xander.” Simone said bashfully as he moved over one stool to the right to let her have the one in the middle of them, as usual.

“Sit with us, have a drink before dinner. It’ll help you relax.” Jackson said with authority, not to be argued with.

“Okay.”

The bartender walked up and placed a coaster down in front of Simone.

“What can I get for you?” The handsome forty-something bartender asked.

“Umm…I don’t really know. I don’t drink very much.” Simone said shyly at the man that Amber would have categorized as a ‘Silver Fox’.

“Well then, I’ll just make you up something nice. Nothing too strong…at least not yet.” He winked at her. “By the way, I’m Jake.” He introduced, holding out his hand for Simone to shake.
