The salty air of the beach house filled my lungs as I stepped inside, the warmth of the sun still clinging to my skin. I could hear the distant sound of waves crashing against the shore, a soothing rhythm that contrasted with the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside me. This weekend getaway had been a long time coming. I had just turned twenty-two, and my two best friends, Cole and Ryan, were eager to celebrate my birthday in style.

Cole was a year younger than me, a charming guy with tousled brown hair and a playful smile that always made me feel at ease. He stood at about six feet tall, with a lean, athletic build honed from years of playing soccer. His hazel eyes sparkled with mischief as he moved around the house, setting up our space for the weekend. He had an easygoing nature that drew people in, making him a natural leader among our group.

Ryan, on the other hand, was a different vibe altogether. At twenty-four, he had a more rugged appearance, with short, dark hair and striking blue eyes that seemed to pierce through any facade I tried to put up. He had a muscular build from his time spent lifting weights at the gym, standing a solid 6'2". His confident demeanor was intoxicating, often leaving me feeling breathless. The combination of these two handsome men always left me torn, my heart fluttering at the thought of both of them.

The beach house itself was a cozy retreat nestled right on the shore. It featured large windows that offered breathtaking views of the ocean, with the sun setting in vibrant hues of orange and pink. As I looked around, I couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement. This was the perfect setting for what was supposed to be a carefree weekend, but deep down, I felt a different kind of thrill brewing.

We had spent the day basking in the sun, swimming in the waves, and sipping cocktails on the deck, all of us dressed for the occasion. I wore a light blue bikini that complemented my sun-kissed skin, my long, wavy brown hair cascading down my back. My physique was a mix of athletic and curvy, with toned legs and a figure that caught glances. I felt confident, yet part of me felt exposed, not just by my choice of attire but by the thoughts that raced through my mind.

Cole had opted for navy swim trunks that highlighted his toned body and complemented his playful smile, while Ryan wore black swim shorts that accentuated his muscular build. The three of us had always shared a strong bond, filled with inside jokes and playful teasing, but today felt different. As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow over everything, the thought of exploring those hidden desires danced in my mind.

As the evening wore on, we settled around the fire pit outside, the flames crackling and casting flickering shadows. The atmosphere was light and playful, laughter bubbling up as we reminisced about past adventures. Yet beneath the surface, I felt an undercurrent of tension that I couldn't quite ignore. With each crackle of the fire, I found myself stealing glances at both Cole and Ryan, their faces illuminated by the flickering light, each gaze igniting a flicker of desire within me.

The drinks flowed freely, our inhibitions loosening with each sip. The playful banter between us grew more suggestive. Cole leaned in closer to me, his gaze intense as he teased, “So, Jenny, what’s your wildest fantasy?”

My heart raced at the question. I felt a flush creeping up my cheeks as I contemplated my answer. It was a risk to reveal my thoughts, but the alcohol buzzed in my veins, giving me the courage to be honest. “I’ve always thought it would be exciting to...you know...have a threesome,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.

The fire crackled ominously, and for a moment, there was silence. I couldn’t read their expressions—were they surprised, intrigued, or dismissive? But as Cole broke into a wide grin, I felt a rush of relief. “Well, that sounds fun,” he replied, his playful tone making my heart flutter.

Ryan leaned forward, his blue eyes sparkling with mischief. “Are you serious? Because I’m definitely down for that,” he said, his words laced with excitement.

My pulse quickened as I realized we were treading into uncharted territory. This was no longer just a fantasy; it could become a reality. I felt exhilarated and terrified at the prospect of crossing that boundary. The thrill of the unknown was intoxicating, and I could feel the chemistry between us simmering just beneath the surface.

“Maybe we should explore that idea a little more,” Cole suggested, his tone teasing but with an edge of seriousness that made my heart race. I nodded slowly, my mind racing with the possibilities.

As the night deepened, the stars twinkled overhead, and we shared stories, laughter, and lingering glances. The energy shifted, growing charged and electric. The line between friendship and something more began to blur, and I found myself wondering just how far we might go.

With each passing moment, the desire to cross that line intensified. The thrill of exploring my deepest fantasies with Cole and Ryan was becoming more appealing. Yet, a flicker of guilt flashed in my mind, reminding me of the potential consequences. Still, the allure of that forbidden adventure was too strong to resist.

As the fire began to die down, casting a soft glow over our faces, I felt a rush of courage. The beach house, with its vibrant atmosphere and the intoxicating scent of saltwater, felt like the perfect backdrop for what was about to unfold. Little did I know, the night was just beginning, and I was about to take a leap into the unknown—a leap that would change everything.

The night air was thick with tension as I sat between Cole and Ryan on the deck of the beach house, the dim glow of the stars above mirroring the excitement coursing through me. The remnants of our earlier conversation hung in the air, and I could feel the heat radiating off both of them as we exchanged glances that lingered just a little too long. My heart raced, and the thrill of crossing boundaries felt imminent.

As the fire crackled softly nearby, I turned to Cole, his hazel eyes glinting with mischief. “So, what do we do now?” I asked, my voice slightly shaky but filled with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

“Well,” he said, leaning closer, his breath warm against my ear, “we start with some fun.” His fingers brushed against my arm, sending a jolt of electricity through me. The touch ignited a desire that had been simmering just beneath the surface, ready to explode. Ryan, sitting on my other side, shifted closer as well, our shoulders touching, creating a warm cocoon of intimacy.

Cole reached out, his fingers tracing along my thigh. “Let’s not rush this,” he suggested, his voice low and sultry. “Let’s enjoy each moment.” I nodded, breathless, as I felt the weight of his gaze on me. I could sense Ryan’s intensity beside me, his presence a steady, compelling force.

The foreplay began with soft touches and teasing words, an unspoken agreement that we were all in this together. Cole leaned in, pressing his lips against my neck, planting soft kisses that sent shivers down my spine. His mouth was warm and inviting, igniting a fire within me. I tilted my head to give him better access, my body responding instinctively to his touch.

Meanwhile, Ryan’s hand found its way to my waist, fingers sliding beneath my bikini top, brushing against my bare skin. His touch was both tender and demanding, coaxing me to surrender to the moment. I closed my eyes, losing myself in the sensations—Cole’s kisses trailing down my collarbone while Ryan explored my curves. The combination of their touch was intoxicating, and I found myself craving more.

“God, you feel amazing,” Ryan murmured, his lips grazing my ear as I turned slightly to meet his gaze. His blue eyes were dark with desire, and I felt a rush of excitement coursing through me. The mixture of their attentions left me breathless, a soft moan escaping my lips as they continued their gentle assault on my senses.

In that moment, I knew there was no turning back. We were diving headfirst into uncharted territory, and I was ready for the adventure.

As the foreplay deepened, the atmosphere shifted from playful to passionate. The teasing touches became more deliberate, our bodies moving closer as if pulled by an invisible force. I could feel the heat radiating off both men, their excitement matching my own. With every caress, every whisper, the anticipation built, creating a heady mix of desire that enveloped us all.

Eventually, Cole broke the tension by pulling away slightly, a wicked grin spreading across his face. “I think it’s time to turn up the heat,” he said, glancing at Ryan, who nodded in agreement. I felt a rush of exhilaration at their words, my pulse quickening with the realization of what was to come.

Cole’s hands moved to my bikini top, expertly untying it, the fabric falling away to reveal my bare breasts. I felt a surge of vulnerability mixed with excitement, my nipples peaking in response to the cool night air and their hungry gazes. “You’re stunning,” Ryan breathed, his eyes darkening with desire as he took in the sight of me, bare and exposed.

In that moment, I felt like a goddess, completely and utterly at their mercy. The sensation of being desired by both of them was exhilarating, pushing me further into the throes of passion.

Cole leaned in closer, his mouth brushing against my neck, igniting a spark that sent shivers coursing through my body. “Let’s not rush this,” he murmured, his voice low and sultry, as his fingers trailed down my thigh, teasing the sensitive skin. I felt a rush of excitement mixed with nervousness as I leaned into him, craving his touch.

Ryan, seated on my other side, shifted closer, our bodies nearly touching, amplifying the tension in the air. His gaze was intense, dark with desire, and I could feel the heat radiating off him. “You’re gorgeous, Jenny,” he said, his voice thick with lust, as his fingers found their way to my waist, gently pulling me towards him. The combination of their touches made my heart race, and the thrill of what was about to unfold sent a wave of heat pooling in my core.

Cole’s hands slid under my bikini top, his fingers grazing my bare skin, igniting my senses. “Let me see you,” he whispered, and I nodded breathlessly, feeling both vulnerable and empowered as I pulled the fabric away. My breasts were exposed to them, and I felt a rush of excitement at their hungry gazes.

Ryan leaned in, his lips brushing against my shoulder, sending ripples of pleasure coursing through me. “You have no idea how beautiful you are,” he breathed, his fingers teasing my nipple, sending bolts of electricity through my body. I gasped, the sensation overwhelming as Cole’s mouth found my other breast, swirling his tongue around the sensitive peak, eliciting soft moans from my lips. The dual attention made my head spin, a delicious mix of desire and anticipation.

“God, that feels incredible,” I gasped, losing myself in the sensations. Their hands roamed freely over my body, exploring every curve, igniting a fire within me that craved more. Ryan’s mouth moved to my other breast, licking and teasing, while Cole’s fingers trailed down my stomach, brushing against my bikini bottoms, teasing me with the promise of what was to come.

“Let’s turn up the heat,” Cole suggested, his voice thick with lust as he leaned in to kiss me deeply. I melted against him, our tongues dancing together as Ryan continued to tease my nipples, each sensation heightening the tension. My breath quickened, and I could feel the pressure building inside me, a delicious ache that begged to be satisfied.

With a quick, confident motion, Cole pushed my bikini bottoms down my legs, leaving me bare and vulnerable. I felt exposed, yet empowered by their desire. “You’re stunning,” Ryan said, his eyes dark with lust as he took in the sight of me. The thrill of being desired by both men surged through me, pushing me further into the throes of passion.

“Now, let’s have some fun,” Cole said, his gaze locked onto mine as he slowly knelt before me. I could feel the heat radiating from his body as he prepared to taste me. My heart raced with anticipation, the air thick with desire as I eagerly awaited the pleasure that was about to unfold.

“Ryan, you ready?” Cole asked, glancing back at him. Ryan nodded, his gaze intense as he watched Cole lean in closer, his breath hot against my pussy. The moment his lips made contact, I gasped, the sensation electrifying. Cole began with soft kisses, teasing and tantalizing, igniting a fire within me that begged for release.

“God, yes,” I moaned, my body arching in response to his skillful mouth. The taste of my desire was intoxicating, and as he licked and sucked, I felt myself spiraling into a world of pure ecstasy. Ryan’s hands roamed over my body, his fingers dancing along my thighs, igniting every nerve ending.

“Let me help you out,” Ryan said, positioning himself beside me. He kissed my neck and shoulders, his mouth exploring my skin, sending goosebumps across my body while Cole continued to work his magic between my legs. The combination of their touches was overwhelming, a symphony of pleasure that left me breathless.

As Cole expertly licked and teased my swollen clit, I felt my body responding eagerly to him. I gasped and moaned, completely lost in the pleasure they were giving me. I could barely think as Ryan’s lips found mine, kissing me deeply, his tongue dancing with mine, intensifying the sensations coursing through my body. The dual stimulation sent my mind reeling, and I could hardly handle the pleasure building within me.

“Don’t stop,” I gasped, my voice thick with desperation as I surrendered to the waves of pleasure building inside me. Their mouths and hands worked in perfect harmony, pushing me closer to the edge, until I was teetering on the brink of release.

Cole’s tongue flicked expertly against my clit, driving me wild with desire as Ryan’s kisses trailed down to my collarbone and further down my chest. I could feel their heat radiating against my skin, making the ache between my legs unbearable. “You taste so good,” Cole murmured, the vibration of his voice sending shockwaves through me.

“God, yes! Just like that!” I cried out, my body arching as I pushed myself against Cole's mouth, seeking more of the delicious sensations. Ryan moved lower, his lips trailing down my stomach, each kiss igniting a new wave of pleasure. I was completely lost in the moment, the three of us entwined in a world of lust and desire, and all I wanted was to feel them both pushing me over the edge into pure ecstasy.

As the foreplay reached a fever pitch, I felt the need for more, a hunger that was impossible to ignore. Cole’s mouth moved away from my clit, and I whined at the loss, but then I caught Ryan’s gaze as he knelt beside me, positioning himself perfectly. “I want to taste you,” he said, his voice low and sultry, filled with promise.

I nodded eagerly, feeling a rush of heat course through my body. Ryan leaned in closer, his breath hot against my pussy, and I could feel my heart racing with anticipation. His lips brushed against my inner thighs, sending shivers of pleasure through me. I glanced at Cole, who watched with a predatory gaze, his own desire evident as he hovered close, ready to join in.

With a teasing smile, Ryan dove in, his tongue flicking against my slick folds, and I gasped, my back arching off the soft surface beneath me. “God, yes,” I moaned, reveling in the exquisite sensations he was creating. He licked me from bottom to top, his movements slow and deliberate, savoring every bit of me. Each lick sent waves of pleasure coursing through me, igniting a fire deep within.

“Just like that, Ryan,” I encouraged breathlessly, and the intensity of his gaze told me how much he was enjoying this as well. Cole shifted closer, watching intently, his eyes filled with lust as he leaned in to kiss my neck, whispering sweet nothings that only heightened my arousal.

Ryan continued his expert ministrations, swirling his tongue around my clit, teasing and sucking gently, drawing soft moans from my lips. I could feel the pressure building inside me, the tension coiling tighter with each passing moment. “You’re so fucking good at this,” I gasped, my fingers tangling in his hair, urging him closer.

Cole took the opportunity to slide his fingers along my thigh, teasingly close to where Ryan was working, heightening my senses even further. I was drowning in pleasure, lost in the sensations as Ryan’s tongue worked its magic, driving me wild. I felt my body responding eagerly, my hips instinctively rocking against him, craving more.

“Don’t stop, please,” I begged, my voice barely above a whisper, the desperation leaking through. Ryan looked up, his eyes dark with lust as he momentarily paused, giving me a devilish grin. “I plan to make you scream,” he replied, and with that, he dove back in, licking and sucking with renewed fervor.

The combination of his tongue and Cole’s hands on my body was overwhelming, my senses heightened to an unbearable level. I could feel the heat building within me, the pleasure coiling tighter, ready to snap. “I’m so close,” I moaned, my breath coming in short gasps as Ryan worked tirelessly, his mouth bringing me to the edge.

“Give in to it, Jenny,” Cole encouraged, his voice a low growl in my ear. I could barely process his words as I felt Ryan’s tongue flick against my sensitive clit, each motion sending shockwaves through my body. I could feel myself spiraling, teetering on the brink of release, ready to tumble into bliss.

“Just a little more!” I cried out, my body arching, desperate for that final push. And with one last, expertly placed lick from Ryan, I felt the world around me shatter into a million pieces as my orgasm washed over me. “Oh, fuck!” I screamed, my body convulsing with pleasure as I let go completely, lost in the waves of ecstasy that crashed over me.

Ryan didn’t stop; he kept licking me through my orgasm, coaxing every last bit of pleasure from me as I writhed beneath him. I could feel Cole’s hot breath against my neck, his hands roaming over my body, pulling me closer to him as I floated in the afterglow of my release. The combination of their attentions left me breathless, craving more as I surrendered to the moment, feeling utterly consumed by the heat and desire between us.

As my orgasm began to fade, a rush of satisfaction coursed through me, leaving me breathless and yearning for more. Ryan pulled back, a smug grin spreading across his face as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, clearly pleased with himself. I looked up at him, my body tingling with desire, and I felt Cole shift closer behind me, his hands roaming my sides, igniting sparks wherever he touched.

“Are you ready for the next part?” Cole’s voice was thick with lust, and I nodded eagerly, my heart racing as I glanced between the two of them. They were both so fucking hot, each offering something different, and I craved the feeling of being completely filled by both of them.

“Let’s make it unforgettable,” Ryan said, positioning himself at my slick entrance. I could see the hunger in his eyes, the way he wanted to devour me completely. My heart raced as I felt his cock pressing against me, ready to plunge inside. Cole moved in behind me, his fingers curling around my hips, his breath hot against my ear as he murmured sweet nothings that sent shivers down my spine.

With one smooth motion, Ryan pushed his cock into my waiting pussy, filling me completely. A gasp escaped my lips as I felt the delicious stretch, my body craving the fullness of him. “Oh God, you feel so fucking amazing,” I moaned, my back arching as I adjusted to his size, his cock buried deep inside me.

Ryan pulled back slightly, then thrust deeper, setting a steady rhythm that quickly matched the wild pounding of my heart. Each thrust sent shockwaves through my body, igniting the fire within me once again. I looked up at him, the intensity of his gaze consuming me as he began to thrust harder, his hips driving into mine with an urgency that made my head spin.

“You’re so fucking tight,” he growled, his voice low and dripping with lust, and I could feel my cheeks flush at his words. Cole continued to tease my body from behind, his hands exploring every curve as he whispered dirty encouragements into my ear, urging me to revel in the pleasure they were giving me. The combination of their bodies moving against me was intoxicating, and I felt myself getting lost in the rhythm.

“Ryan, yes! Just like that!” I cried out, the pleasure coursing through me as he picked up the pace. My body responded eagerly, moving in sync with him, craving more of the delicious friction that filled me completely. I could feel the heat coiling deep inside me, the pressure building as I lost myself in the raw pleasure of being split open by his cock.

“Don’t stop,” I begged, my words desperate, the need for more burning in my core. “I’m so fucking close!” Ryan thrust harder, his movements becoming more frantic, and I could sense he was nearing his own release.

“I’m right there with you, Jenny,” he panted, his breaths short and ragged, and I could see the determination in his eyes as he focused solely on me. Cole’s hands were everywhere, teasing my nipples, grazing my thighs, his fingers sliding over my skin as he worked to push me even higher.

“God, you’re such a good little slut, taking both of us like this,” Cole purred in my ear, and I moaned at his words, feeling the heat pool lower in my belly. The way he worshiped my body only stoked the fire inside me, driving me closer to the edge.

With each hard thrust of Ryan’s cock, the delicious pressure built higher and higher. I could feel my body tightening around him, the sweet, pleasurable ache pushing me toward another explosive climax. “I’m gonna cum!” I gasped, my voice breaking as the pleasure spiraled through me, overwhelming my senses.

“Let it go, Jenny,” Ryan grunted, his thrusts growing more frantic, the heat of our bodies mingling together in a haze of lust. “I want to feel you cum all over my cock.”

“Fuck, yes!” I screamed, my body convulsing around him as my orgasm crashed over me like a tidal wave. My walls tightened around his cock, squeezing him as pleasure coursed through me in wild waves. “Oh God, Ryan! I’m cumming!”

“Fuck! Yes!” Ryan roared, his hips driving into me one last time as he buried himself deep, filling me completely with his warm cum. The feeling of him pouring his release inside me sent another wave of pleasure crashing over me, pushing me to new heights.

The euphoric waves of my orgasm slowly subsided, leaving me breathless and craving more. I could feel the heat radiating from both Ryan and Cole, their lust hanging thick in the air around us. My body was still quivering from the pleasure, and I was ready to dive deeper into this night of wild abandon.

“Who’s ready for some real fun?” Cole said, his voice thick with desire as he shifted closer behind me. I glanced over my shoulder at him, my heart racing. Ryan was still catching his breath in front of me, his cock glistening with my juices, and I couldn’t help but lick my lips, wanting to taste him again.

As if reading my mind, Ryan stepped closer, positioning himself at my entrance once more. “How about we take turns?” he suggested, a wicked grin spreading across his face. “You get to enjoy both of us.”

“Yes, please,” I gasped, excitement surging through me. I watched as Ryan slowly pushed into me, filling me up completely once again. The delicious stretch made me moan, and my body instinctively arched toward him. Just then, Cole knelt in front of me, his eyes dark with lust as he grabbed my face, positioning himself right in front of my eager mouth.

With a teasing smile, he pushed his thick cock against my lips, urging me to open up. “Suck it, Jenny,” he commanded softly, his tone both dominant and sultry. I was more than ready to obey, eager to take him deep in my mouth as I felt Ryan thrusting in and out of my pussy.

As Ryan started to fuck me harder, I wrapped my lips around Cole’s cock, taking him deep. I could feel the weight of his hard length on my tongue, the salty taste of him intoxicating as I sucked him hungrily. The sounds of our bodies moving together echoed in the room, each thrust from Ryan pushing me closer to the edge.

“Fuck, yes,” Cole moaned, his hands tangling in my hair as he guided me, the rhythm of my mouth matching the rhythm of Ryan’s thrusts. I felt my core tighten around Ryan’s cock, pleasure building higher and higher as he pounded into me, driving me wild.

“Take him deeper,” Ryan urged, his voice low and raspy, and I obeyed, sliding my mouth down further onto Cole’s cock, trying to take every inch. The dual sensations of their bodies working me over made my head spin, the pleasure overwhelming as I was filled in every way.

“God, you’re such a good little slut,” Cole groaned, his fingers tightening in my hair as he thrust gently into my mouth. I moaned around him, the vibrations causing Ryan to pick up his pace, his cock hitting all the right spots inside me. I could feel my wetness dripping down my thighs as I surrendered completely to the pleasure.

“Switch,” Ryan commanded, pulling back slightly, his cock sliding out of me with a slick pop. I felt empty for a split second before Cole moved in, taking Ryan’s place. He plunged into me, and I gasped at the feeling of being filled by him, my body welcoming him eagerly.

“Keep sucking,” Ryan ordered, moving closer to my face again, positioning his cock right in front of my mouth. I quickly wrapped my lips around him, eager to please both men, the thrill of being sandwiched between them driving me wild.

Cole wasted no time, thrusting into me with a fierce urgency, his hands gripping my hips tightly. I could feel the heat radiating from him, the way he filled me completely igniting a fire deep within. As he pounded into my pussy, I felt Ryan’s cock hitting the back of my throat, making me gag slightly before I adjusted, pushing my head down harder to take him deeper.

“God, you’re amazing,” Ryan panted, and I felt a rush of satisfaction at his praise. I could feel Cole’s cock swelling inside me, the pressure building as he moved faster, our bodies slapping together in a rhythm that left me gasping for breath.

“Look at you, being such a good little slut for us,” Cole growled, his voice laced with desire as he leaned down to kiss my shoulder. I moaned in response, the thrill of being used by both of them pushing me closer to the edge. The pleasure was intoxicating, my body responding eagerly to their every movement, craving more and more.

With each thrust, I could feel my orgasm building again, the waves of pleasure rising higher as both men took turns using me for their pleasure. “I’m so close!” I cried out, my voice muffled around Ryan’s cock as I felt the pressure coiling tighter in my belly.

“Let go, Jenny,” Ryan urged, his voice thick with need as he thrust deeper into my mouth, his hips bucking faster. I could feel Cole’s thrusts becoming more erratic, the tension in his body signaling he was close too.

“God, yes! Cum for us!” Cole growled, and that was all it took to send me spiraling over the edge. My orgasm crashed over me like a tidal wave, sending shockwaves of pleasure through my entire body. I could feel my pussy clenching around Cole as I came, my body shaking from the intensity of it.

“Fuck! Yes!” Cole shouted, driving into me harder, the feeling of his cock pulsing inside me sending me into another wave of ecstasy. I could feel Ryan’s cock throbbing in my mouth, his release spilling forth as he filled me, his hot cum hitting the back of my throat.

I moaned around him, the combined sensations overwhelming me as I was filled in every way. The sounds of our pleasure mingled in the air, each of us lost in our own world of bliss as we reached the pinnacle of our desires. I could feel them both emptying into me, their warmth mixing with my own as the three of us came together in this incredible moment.

As the waves of pleasure crashed over me, I could feel both Ryan and Cole’s warm cum filling me in the most deliciously overwhelming way. Cole’s cock pulsed deep inside my pussy, each thrust pushing his hot release further into me, making my body quiver with satisfaction. I could feel the warmth spreading, thick and intoxicating, as it filled me completely.

At the same time, Ryan was emptying himself in my mouth, the taste of his salty essence coating my tongue and sliding down my throat. I reveled in the sensations, both men using me completely, their releases mingling with my own desire.

As Cole pulled out, I felt his cum leaking out of me, dripping down my thighs and pooling on the bed beneath us. I couldn’t help but moan at the sensation of both of them leaving their marks on me, the mixture of their warmth and my own arousal creating an exquisite mess.

My body trembled from the intensity, the dual sensations of being filled, and the feeling of their cum escaping me driving me wild. I swallowed every drop of Ryan’s release, savoring it, even as I felt the remnants of Cole’s essence slipping out, a testament to the wild night we had shared.
