What began as a simple game four years earlier soon spirals out of control for three young men celebrating their college graduation on Anteros Island. Reno, Jonah, and Zach have nothing more on their minds than having a good time and winning the game. That quickly changes when their targets turn out to be more than simple game pieces and what follows is a week filled with drama, laughter, and hot sex. As each player falls into the clutches of such a wicked game, it’s anybody’s guess as to who will win but one thing is certain, their lives will be changed forever. Excerpt… Standing up, Jonah walked over and checked the small bathroom to make sure he had everything while Zach set his cowboy hat on his head and tilted it slightly. Jonah grabbed his sunglasses and reached for his toiletries bag just as Reno stood up and waved him away. He picked up both bags and took them to the door. “Thanks,” Jonah said and stood next to the other two young men. “I think we’re ready.” “Yeehaw!” Zach yelled and grinned at his friends. “Look out, island!! We’re about to put the joy into your boys!” Shaking his head, Jonah laughed at Zach’s cheesy comment. “And we are gonna play the best game of our lives,” Reno added as he ushered Zach and Jonah out the door before closing it. “You’re gonna love it. No pain, all fun.” He eyed Jonah. “And since we’re on an island where you’re expected to have fun and everything is casual, even you can let your hair down and party it up.” Zach slapped Jonah on the back and knocked him forward a couple of feet. “This is our last summer to go wild. We have to pretend to be grown-ups after this so I want to see you cut loose for once. I demand it!” After catching himself, Jonah glared at Zach and then turned to Reno. “So what is the game? And when does it start?” “We’ve done something similar before,” Reno explained as they headed for the deck where the tender boats would be docked to the ship. “This particular version is based on an old episode of the Love Boat. It starts after we get settled into our rooms and head to the bar.” “Love Boat?” Jonah tried to recall where he had heard that before. He had been serious when he had said that he would play to win this time. Zach was right. After the summer was over, things would never be the same again. Jonah already missed the collegiate camaraderie with Reno and Zach and they had barely graduated. “Any stakes on this one? I have a good feeling and I think that I might win this time.” “The way to win is when you actually get that good feeling located further south than where it is right now,” Zach teased. “Not that Zach would know,” Reno said, laughing. “He needs the Hubble telescope and a Geiger counter to actually find anything in his nether regions.” He laughed again when Zach bestowed him with an upraised middle finger. “Besides the usual bragging rights, the winner gets a drink from the other two. Although since you say that you’re gonna play for real…notice my confidence here. I’ll raise the stakes. Winner gets dinner when we get back to Miami unless you peeps whine about money. When one of us scores, the others will buy him a drink. How’s that? Think you two can handle that?” Jonah and Zach both looked at each other and grinned before saying in unison, “Yes!” “And get your mind out of my nether regions, man,” Zach continued after smirking at Reno. “Unless you’ve taken a recent liking to bottoming.” Jonah’s face turned red and he walked ahead of Reno and Zach in an attempt at hurrying them along. “Is that why I felt an Arctic chill all of a sudden?” Reno asked and smiled as naively as he could manage. “I found your nether regions even without the use of GPS?” Zach winked at Reno. “I can warm you up, baby. Once you go Zach, you never go back.” “And the reasons for that are not really what you think they are,” Reno retorted. Zach gave in and laughed before shouting, “Hey, Jonah, get your ass back here! You belong to us until the game starts so stop trying to escape the corral.” Jonah turned around and jogged back to the other two. “I just want to get there, that’s all.” He was excited to get to the island and explore. He practically bounced up and down trying to urge the other two to walk faster. “The island isn’t going anywhere and you need to hear the rules of the game before we get there,” Zach stated. “It starts today and no way we’re putting up with you whining that you couldn’t play because it wasn’t explained clearly. So listen up, little cowboy.” “Yeah, you better listen up,” Reno agreed. “Because we know that if you don’t score, Zach and I are gonna email you once a week to remind you that you failed us.” He smirked. “The rules are pretty simple. We go to the bar and we each pick a drink, either one of the specials or we can pick an island classic like a strawberry daiquiri or margarita. Once we declare that the game is officially on, the first person to order each of our drinks, is our respective target. Bang ’em and mark ’em! First person to score wins the dinner. Got it?” Jonah nodded while walking between Reno and Zach. The game actually seemed tamer than some of the other games that they’d played in the past. He was sure that he could handle this one especially since, as Zach had pointed out, these were strangers and not fellow students that he might run into later. “I can do that,” Jonah stated and then smiled. “Get ready to buy me dinner! Last game is all mine!” ♠ ~ ♦ ~ ♣ ~ ♥ As he watched Luke saunter away, Zach popped another bite of steak in his mouth and winked at Wade. The day was getting better and better. Red meat, alcohol, and sex. What more could a man want? Following the first bite with another large chunk of steak, Zach feigned shock and looked down at his cell phone, which was on the table. “Oh, shit! I told my friends I would probably bring you two back to the hotel so we could all sit and get to know each other but with all of Luke’s plans that just isn’t happening,” Zach said and frowned with dismay. He thrust a small dessert menu at Wade who watched him in confusion. “Do me a favor, Big W, and find a dessert on here that will make your baby brother happier than a gopher in soft dirt. I’m going to step outside and call my friends so they won’t worry and you let Luke know I’ll be right back.” Zach stood up and pushed his chair in before eyeing Wade seriously. “And keep your hands off my meat!” Zach swaggered away with a smile on his face while Wade stared open-mouthed after him. He watched out of the corner of his eye and when the other man picked up the menu, he detoured into the bathroom where Luke was washing his hands. No one else was in the bathroom. “Hey, darlin’,” he murmured. “I missed you.” “Zachie!” Luke shouted and splashed water all over the mirror in excitement. “I missed you too. It was the worst three minutes of my entire life. I hope you told Wade not to touch my fries! He’s the world’s biggest spud lover!” “You’re half right,” Zach replied while moving closer and placing his hands on Luke’s hips to pull him near. “I thought we might get some alone time, just a few minutes, yeah? I don’t think I’ll be able to get through the rest of the night without being in pain if I don’t get some relief and you’re the only one that can help me with that. You wouldn’t want your cowboy to suffer, would you?” “Oh, no!” Luke agreed and smiled seductively. “Sufferin’s only good for sourpusses like Wade and my Mom. Those two are birds of a feather. Oh! I have three photo albums back at the hotel. I brought them all the way from home! We can look at them later tonight. There’s a picture of me wrestlin’ with a gator down in Florida and then lots of pictures of me and Wade and the boys on the ranch! You’ll love them and maybe we can talk Big W into getting us a romantic snack like chocolate covered strawberries. Do you like those? Or what about cherries?” “Cherries? I love cherries,” Zach whispered while guiding Luke backwards and nuzzling his neck. “Freshly…picked…cherries. Straight from the farm…” Reaching out with one hand, Zach opened the door to the handicapped stall, maneuvered Luke inside, and let the door half close behind them. He pushed the young man against the tiled wall that didn’t have a safety bar. One hand twisted itself into Luke’s sandy blond hair and pulled his head back just before Zach’s mouth fell against his lips. He hoped to recreate the kiss from earlier. His other hand slithered down and stroked Luke’s cock with practiced moves. Luke parted his mouth and let Zach’s tongue deep inside his mouth. He loved kissing and kissing a cowboy like this was sheer bliss. He was again surprised at the other man’s forwardness but his body was starting to react to the sure strokes on his length. Even through his jeans, it felt incredible. Heat engulfed his body and he thrust against Zach’s hand. He moaned into the kiss and held on to Zach’s broad chest as though his life depended on it. Zach smirked into the kiss and stroked harder. He hoped that Wade was a slow reader. Massaging the inside of Luke’s mouth with his tongue, he brought his other hand down and unbuttoned the tight jeans before unzipping them. Carefully sliding his hand inside, he stroked the soft hairs that framed what felt like a very lovely cock. He pulled his mouth away and groaned in happiness. “That’s it, baby,” he said quietly. “It’s all about making my Luke happy and nothing makes me happier than touching you…and tasting you…and being with you. Let me in, darlin’.” “Oh, yeees,” Luke said breathily. His cock surged in Zach’s hand as he thrust his hips forward and back against the strong grasp that held his length. He slid his hands upwards and caressed the other man’s shoulders before clasping his fingers behind Zach’s neck. “Feels so good…I want you…” “Luke,” a controlled voice called from just outside the open doorway of the stall. “Your food is getting cold and I ate your French fries. I think it’s time to be getting back to the table now.” Zach groaned out loud and shook his head. He wanted to both laugh and punch Wade in the face. Without removing his hand but stilling his movements, he looked over his shoulder at Wade. “You know, I was just thinking to myself that something was missing and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.” Zach squeezed once more and Luke moaned. “But now I know what it was. It was you, Big W, and now look! Here you are and we can all breathe a sigh of relief.” Wade smiled coldly. “You can get your relief later when it’s all over but, for right now, please take your hand out of my baby brother’s pants…
