He traded a trapeze and the catch of a lifetime for a life in a courtroom. Now he’ll share her, to catch her, one last time.
A three-ring circus is an apt description of Nicco Sarducci’s childhood. While some kids want to run away and join the circus. Nicco Sarducci made plans to get away from the circus.
But a call from home draws him back. His brother has been injured and can’t perform. His mother wants him to come home. He agrees on one condition – it’s only short term— flying through the air with the greatest of ease is his past, not his future.

Once he’s there and back in the ring with the other performers, Nicco can’t seem to stop imaging Lucia, the girl he left behind, in all kinds of erotic positions, including tucked between him and his old friend, Andrei. Having to catch her numerous times throughout the day, put his hands on her body and watch her move around in that revealing leotard—it’s making him harder than hell. Even if he has to share her, he can’t resist one more time with her.

But once he catches her, can he really let her go so easily again?

This is a short story of approximately 10,000 words that brings childhood sweethearts back together after a long separation. But they quickly realize performing together is like riding a bicycle.
