I didn’t know if such thoughts were good or bad. Worse, I didn’t know that it was good or bad that I wanted to watch.

Ian whistled and eyed me up and down. “Damn, we should have done this sooner.”

My face and shoulders heated with a blush. “I-I’m nothing special.”

He shook his head, grabbed my waist, and pulled me against him. “Wrong, you’re everything special.”

“That doesn’t even make sense.”

He grinned and kissed the tip of my nose. “It doesn’t have to. You just have to believe that you’re special.”

“He’s right,” Freddie said as he stopped beside us. “You’re sweet and fun to be around. Good looking too.”

“You’re good-looking too,” I replied. “All of you.”

“Damn straight,” Tony laughed, wrapping his arms around me from behind. He kissed just below my ear. “I’ve got high standards, including for myself. I figure I have to look my best if I’m gonna keep the best men around.”

Beck laughed. “Don’t worry Tony, we’ll still love you even when you’re old and wrinkly.”

“Why take the chance though?” Tony joked. “I plan to stay young and wrinkle-free forever.”

“And make us look like cradle robbers?” Ian mock gasped. “That’s a rather asshole move, don’t you think? I personally plan on aging gracefully.”

I chuckled. The guys had a great dynamic.

“Ok,” Freddie started. “Water slides or lazy river first?”

“I say slides until the lines get bad, then lazy river,” Ian replied.

“Works for me,” I agreed.

We weaved through the crowd as we made our way to a cluster of staircases. Some groups were headed in the same direction as us, others were walking toward the bar, and still more seemed intent on finding open loungers.

“Do you guys do this often?” I asked as we started up a set of stairs.

“A couple times a year,” Freddie replied. “When we think it might be less crowded. It’s still early in the evening, but it can get pretty busy as the night goes on. I prefer it when it’s quieter.”

“What he’s saying,” Ian laughed, “is that we tend to clear out when the college peeps start getting drunk.”

“They let drunk people on the waterslides?” I asked.

Tony chortled. “Of course not. Security lifeguards will come out soon to stand at the base of the stairs. Drunk people are stopped before they can go up. But they’re still allowed in the pools and lazy river. They also tend to crowd the walkways and lounge areas.”

“Security lifeguard?”

Tony grinned at me and nodded. “They look like bouncers, except they wear swim trunks and white shirts.”

“Tony likes to ogle them… after a few drinks anyway,” Beck added.

“Can’t blame a man for looking,” Tony argued. “Especially when you know that no amount of eye candy can pull me away from you lot.”

“Weren’t you just saying that you have to keep in shape to attract the best men?” Ian teased.

“Keepthe best men, keep. I’ve already attracted you, now I just have to hold on,” Tony retorted.

I couldn’t hold back a giggle.

“I plan to keep you too,” Tony declared, draping himself over my shoulders.
