One Queen with Two Kings
On the morning of her second wedding, Thea realizes marrying Lloyd is a mistake and learns his ultimate motive is to gain control of her family business.
When confronted, Lloyd admits lying. His bombshell confession is that he gave the search team false coordinates, wanting Thea for himself instead of looking for Dexter and Russell’s crash site. When the men are found alive, they bring home proof that their plane was sabotaged by Lloyd.
While reconnecting with her husband and his friend, she realizes their relationship changed. Catching the men in a compromising sexual position reinforces her theory.
Accepting Dexter and Russell had become intimate while on the island is earth-shattering. She’s floored when they suggest combining the two relationships into one, a threesome the men have dreamed about.
Can she share her husband with his best friend? Can she be the queen with two kings?

Prologue
Dexter didn’t believe what he heard or thought he saw in the distance. He stood motionless
,
watching the dark blob get closer and the noise louder. It had been two long, arduous years since their plane crashed on this deserted Pacific island. He wouldn’t let himself believe the aircraft approaching was actually tilting its wings at him in acknowledgement.
Russ came running to his side and used their most prized possession, his late father’s Zippo lighter that he carried as a good luck charm to set their emergency fire ablaze. The men stood on the beach jumping up and down and waving their arms.
“Was that real?” Dex asked, afraid of Russ’s answer.
“God, I hope so,” Russ said, “if not
,
we wasted our only firewood.”
“Maybe he saw the seaweed
-
covered SOS rocks.”
“I don’t care what he saw, as long as he knows we’re here.” Dex had never heard Russ’s voice so excited.
The plane circled their tiny island homestead several times, reinforcing they had been found. The two men ran to the fuselage wreckage and grabbed the package Dex had so long ago prepared for just this occasion. He was the first to lose the rush of excitement the plane brought. Russ noted immediately
,
“What’s wrong?” realizing the frown on Dex’s face.
“We’re going home,” Dex answered and watched the smile drain from Russ’s expression. The silence between them became deafening. Russ recovered first.
“We always said if we were ever rescued from this
g
odforsaken sandpit
,
our secret would stay on this island and die with us.”
“I know
,
and I trust you with my life and our secret. It’s just—we’re going home.” Dex kicked at the sand.
“There’s no changing the past, we knew that. We didn’t know we’d ever be rescued,” Russ reinforced.
“Now that it’s happened, it feels strange, almost frightening.”
Russ dropped his arm over Dexter’s shoulder. “Civilization will feel strange for a while
,
too. We’ll deal with it. For now, just be happy that plane saw us.”
“I can’t help but wonder why it took so long,” Dex mused, finally letting himself believe they were going to be rescued. He glanced at Russ and began jumping up and down. “They found us, someone finally found us. I don’t care who it is, we’re found.”
“We’ll find out soon enough. Whatever happen
s
, from this moment on we keep our solemn promise. What we did as consenting adults in a dire situation dies with us.”
“That’s easy to say, my friend. It’s going to be harder in everyday life.”
Russ laughed at him. “You’ll survive. We survived two lousy years on this pit, you’ll survive the future. At least the amenities will be better.”
Dex looked at Russ. “What if she’s married and had a kid?”
“We’ll deal with that if it become a reality. Just like we dealt with the last two years.” Russell ran into the surf and started kicking at the water. “I’m so glad to be getting off this flea
-
bitten island.”
“And tired of being flea bitten,” Dex teased, joining Russ in the surf.
“Real food, Russ!”
“I want chocolate,” Russ said, his tone dreamy. “And ice, anything and everything with ice.”
“I want my wife,” Dex reinforced,
“
and a cold beer
,
and a large, rare steak with onions and fried potato
e
s.”
“I want your wife too, but I know that’s the last time I’ll ever say those words aloud to you.”
It wasn’t long before they heard the whopping noise of the helicopter blades in the distance.
“Russ, this is real, we’re going home.”
“As long as we go somewhere, anywhere but here.” Russ dragged himself from the water. “You’re going home to your wife.”
“I’d share her with you
,
Russ
,
if I could. Especially after all we’ve been through together.”
“I know. You can’t blame me for longing for her after listening to you every night whine about missing her.” Russ hesitated
.
“Dex, we’re not the same men going back that we were when we left. Everyone at home will be different too.”
“Hopefully better versions than we left behind.” Dex finally relaxed and smiled. He accepted this wasn’t some horrible nightmare of joke. “We’re going home
,
Russ, better versions of us too. Even if we can’t tell a soul about our private times here.
”
The chopper came closer
,
and Dex held a tight grip on the package to be brought back. “Thanks for saving my life and keeping me sane.”
“My thanks to you
,
too, old friend. For that and many hours of pleasure that I’ll only relive in my dreams.” Russ looked around them.
“What are you looking for?” Dex asked.
“Just making sure we didn’t leave anything important behind.”
“The only thing we leave behind is our secret. The rest will work out.”
The chopper was closer
,
and Dex could see the pilot. “This is real, we’re going home, Russ.”
They waited until the pilot got in position and lowered the basket. They argued several moments about who should go first, Dex pushing Russ into the gurney
-
style baske
t
and handing him the package. “I’ll be right behind you.”
Dexter Norden realized these were the longest minutes of his life, watching Russ being hoisted into the chopper and waiting for the basket to be lowered for his use. During those moments
,
he sent up a silent prayer.
Please let her still want me and never find out about what Russ and I did with each other here.
