It was then that my phone vibrated in my pocket. I hadn't even been aware that I had it with me, which went to show that my "friends" didn't actually care where I went. I'd left for a walk more than a few hours ago.

I pulled it out and examined the screen. It was Jake. I let go of Coral, and put the mobile to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?" he was out of breath.

"Cornwall," I told him, squeezing Coral's hand. His voice was so lovely. I licked my lips and looked to the sea.

"I know that," he returned. "Where exactly are you?"

"Polperro."

"This is like drawing blood out of a fucking stone." He sighed, disapproving. "Exactly, babe. Where exactly are you?"

"On a beach."

"Are you holding hands with someone?" What? I looked around, dropping Coral's hand. Where was he? How did he know?

"What..."

"Turn around," he giggled down the phone. I did as he asked. Then I dropped my phone.

"When did you get here?" We were sitting on the beach, sprawled on the sand. Coral was sitting opposite us, smiling. I felt a little bad though. After all, I had been kissing her just a few seconds before I answered the phone, and now I was beside my boyfriend just a couple of feet away from her, my hand holding his under a pile of sand that he'd absentmindedly put there.

"Like, half an hour ago. I just walked to the left and carried on down the beach, and then I found your friends," he nodded towards Coral. "Then they told me you guys had gone off down this way, and then I saw you. I came over the dunes so you wouldn't see me." I squeezed his hand, and grinned at him. He looked so beautiful.

He'd had his hair cut, and it was shorter, much more complimentary to his face, and an attractive patch of auburn stubble littered his chin. He was wearing a lightweight navy jacket with tight slate grey jeans and big red kicks. His shirt was a white polo, and he just oozed sex appeal. I felt positively disgusting myself, although Jake insisted I looked great.

"I can't believe you're here," I murmured, leaning my head against his shoulder. Coral smiled, tilting her head.

"You guys are hot together," she told us. I giggled, and crossed my feet over at the ankles. Jake shrugged.

"That's all on Luc's part," Jake returned, tilting his head so that he could plant a warm kiss on my temple. I smiled, warmth spreading all around my body, down to my toes.

"Bless your hearts," she ran a hand through her hair. "I wish someone liked me that that."

"You don't have a boyfriend?" Jake's voice was incredulous. Coral smiled, and shook her head. Her delicate fingers moved to the hem of her skirt, fingering a loose thread.

"I do not," she replied. I felt a little bad. After all, we'd had something for a moment.

"Why the hell not?" My boyfriend asked. He looked a lot wiser. He more than likely was, having been doing his astrophysics degree at university for the last few... god. I didn't know how long it had been. Weeks? Months? It was the beginning of May, so...weeks.

I hadn't even realised how much I'd missed him. Looking at him in all his auburn haired glory, at his broad chest in a snug white polo shirt, I could barely contain my desire to run my fingers all over his delicious body.

"Well," she leant back, on her hands, and stretched out her long legs. "A lot of guys around here are kind of intimidated." Jake cocked his head.

"How so?"

"I'm not from around here," she returned. "I sound different to them all, to be honest, they don't like that."

"Birmingham, right?" he asked. She nodded. "I'm at university there."

"What are you doing?"

"Astrophysics," I told her. "He's a higher being." She giggled.

"How old are you?" She shook her hair out of her face, and Jake swirled his finger in the sand.

"I'm twenty," he said, keeping his head down.

"Get you, Luc," Coral's voice was teasing. "Dating an older man." I smiled, looking to him and admiring his face. There was a silence. Jake broke it.

"Are you sexually depraved then?" I stifled a laugh as he finished his question. Coral raised a shaped eyebrow.

"Slightly." I choked at her response, and she kicked me with her boots. I withdrew my leg, rubbing the place where she had attacked me. How could she be so open with him? She'd only just met him. Although, I could hardly talk. I'd stripped in front of him within the first few hours of our meeting.

"A pretty girl like you should have boys crawling all over her," Jake commented. She tilted her head.

"I don't see you crawling," the corners of her mouth tilted up at the sides.

"I'm committed," he replied, grabbing me around the waist and pulling me close to him. His hand on my stomach was enough to send all the heat from the corners of my body straight to my lap. Jesus.

"Sorry babe," I faux apologized, and she faux pouted.

"The two most gorgeous guys in Polperro both taken at the same time," she shook her head. "What you gonna do?" You haven't seen Darius, I thought. I scolded myself for thinking it. Jake. Jake was mine. Not Darius.

"Don't despair," Jake told her. "We'll be gone soon and you can go back to the bog-standard." He winked, and she smiled, then sat up on her knees. Her face was bright, and she looked excited.

"I have an idea." I looked at her, and she grinned.

"Divulge." my boyfriend sat forwards slightly, but kept his hand firmly around my waist.

"This is going to sound proper weird," she started, her voice slightly giggly. "Right. You guys haven't seen each other in ages, right?"

"Yeah."

"And, I won't lie, I think you're both peng." I laughed. She shot me a look, her eyes sparkling. "I'm guessing Luc thinks I'm fit, and I dunno if you do, Jake, but that's kind of irrelevant right now." She was speaking fast, and I wasn't exactly sure what she was hinting at.

"Mhm?"

"So, this is kind of out there, but to be honest I think it's a great idea. You guys haven't shagged in ages, and I haven't been with anyone for a while, so like, well, I have three words for you." Jake raised an eyebrow. I licked my lips, worried about what she might be insinuating.

"Ménage á trois," the words came from her lips in a breathy tone. I had no idea what she meant. However, Jake it seemed, knew exactly.

"You serious?"

"Does it look like I'm kidding?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, but I got ignored. Jake bit his lip, and then looked out down the beach, along the horizon, down at me and then back to Coral.

"Where?"

"You got a tent, right?"

"Luc does, but it's not very big."

"I've got one but it's at home," she sat back on her feet. "I can go run and get it?" Jake nodded, and looked down at me with an eager smile on his gorgeous face. His mouth was curled in that way I loved.

"We've gotta go back to the site to get some stuff," he told her. "Back here, yeah?" She nodded, and stood up. He rose too, and they stood close together in a way that was absolutely radiating sexual friction. I got to my feet, and grabbed at Jake's hand. He locked his fingers into mine, and started to lead me down the beach.

"See you soon," he called to Coral, quickening his pace.

"Jake," I hissed. "What the fuck is going on?" He look down at me and grinned in a way that was both excited and seductive.

"Babe, we just got ourselves a threesome."

Don't shoot! I don't know how good this chapter is. I know it's rushed but I'm trying to keep to my timeframe and I'm a chapter over already but I want a certain number so what could be put into two chapters is in one, if that makes sense.

The next chapter will be smut, so if you don't want to read it, don't, but it should be a quality piece, fingers crossed!

Let me know what you think, and thank you so much to the two of you who reviewed last time! I'm not really in love with this story anymore, so hearing that other people are is great :D

Thank you so much, Chloe, x
