Free Neil, Louisa - Pyxis Island Triangle (Siren Publishing Ménage And More) by Louisa Neil

on the second level, one that would have housed extra equipment to keep the lighthouse in order. It, too, was in need of new floorboards.
    At the top, both men paused to catch their breath and footing. All the panes of glass had been broken with time. Ben drew a deep breath, visualizing what it would have looked like with its original whale oil lamps and then the tinsel lens. So he’d make sure the lighthouse was rehabbed for Lila. The floor up there was as rot-riddled as the lower levels, so they were careful where they stepped. Ben noted someone had placed large boards over particularly bad spots. He didn’t care, the view taking all thoughts of building from his mind. The three-sixty-degree view was incredible. From the east, he saw nothing but ocean and sky. To the west, he saw ocean and then the east coast of the states. Northward, he saw similar views and southward, all sky, water, and then land. It was a spectacular spot.
    “I feel so small and insignificant,” Ben mused, taking in the sight. “I always figured it would be similar to being at the top of a Ferris wheel. But I never could have imagined this.”
    “Now do you understand her want to bring it back?” Wyatt worked the weather-swollen door open, allowing them to step out onto the balcony. It, too, encircled the entire tower, its views just as breathtaking. “What do you think of Lila’s pet project now?”
    “I’m in awe of the view, the structure, and the woman.” Ben glanced from the view to Wyatt, wondering what his smile meant. For the first time, he saw Wyatt as a sexual being, not just another man or worker on the site. His cock stirred in his jeans, but he didn’t dare shift himself for comfort, instead, he continued to watch Wyatt. “I get the feeling our trip here today has another purpose beyond a reward to see the interiors and view.”
    “Am I your reward or you mine?” Wyatt spoke so naturally it took Ben a few seconds to get his dual meaning. By then, Wyatt was smiling at his discomfort. “We’re alone, Ben, let’s just be honest. Lila and I both know of your dual sexuality. I’m just letting you know on occasion I’m of the same mind.”
    Ben swallowed hard, choosing his words carefully. “Is this one of those occasions?”
    “It could be if you’re so inclined. But, Ben, it doesn’t have to be. If you’re not interested, just say so. Nothing will change between us working together.”
    “What about Lila? What would she say about…” His words trailed off, and it all came together in Ben’s mind. “That’s why she chose me. She wanted a second man and knew from her research I was bi. She told me just weeks ago to remember she was the Alpha female here. That makes you her Alpha male. I suppose that leaves me as the apprentice.”
    “An interesting choice of words, but accurate. Lila likes diversion and has an amazing mind of fantasies she wants to try. I need to know how far you’re willing to go. Do you just want to fuck and suck her, or are you open to my presence?”
    “I suppose in the back of my mind I’ve known all along what her ulterior motives were. Don’t you mind sharing her?” Ben needed to know he wasn’t coming between them.
    “Lila is not mine to share or yours for that matter. She is her own woman and in charge of everything here. I’ve come to accept her need for diversion, sometimes relish the idea of help when she’s in one of her insatiable moods.” The men stared at each other for a second before starting to laugh. “Yes, she is amazing, and I’m getting too old to satisfy her every whim. There will be times when I’m tied up in the lab and can’t service her. You’d come in handy those times, too.”
    “So, I’m to be your second from her perspective. What does it mean from your perspective?”
    “I figure we’re both adult men who occasionally will cross swords in the goal of sating Lila. If, on occasion, we choose to be alone together, I’m not averse, as long as it
