Cassidy tried hiding her smile as Memphis and Orlando conspired together. She couldn’t help the excitement bubbling in her belly. These two were so sexy. Everything about them had her more than willing to go skinny-dipping with them. But she wouldn’t let them know that.
They came into a more secluded area along a dirt pathway through the woods. The trail inclined, and she could hear the water flowing below and caught glimpses of the swimming hole through the trees. The moment they stepped through the opening, she gasped.
It was beautiful. There were small natural waterfalls, nothing too big but enough to make the tranquil sounds that only waterfalls could make.
“This is gorgeous. I can’t believe this is part of your property. No one else can enjoy this but you guys?” she asked, following them down the small patch of grass, where they set their things down. She put down her bag and stepped closer. She could see the steppingstones leading to the bottom of the path by the water’s edge. The water was crystal clear.
Memphis wrapped his arms around her waist. “Only the women we bring down here get to enjoy this swimming hole,” he teased.
She maneuvered out of his hold.
“Oh, really? So this isn’t someplace special for just us? I’m not the first woman you’ve brought here?” she asked, giving him an attitude.
He snagged an arm around her waist as she pretended insult and tried walking away.
“Get back here, woman. You know I’m teasing you,” he said with that sexy smile. Those dark tattoos stared at her from his bare, muscular chest. She was so in love with these men it didn’t even matter to her who they were with before. They were here with her now, and boy, was she getting aroused.
Memphis ran his hand along her ass and gave it a tap. “You up for the challenge, sweetheart, or do you just want to give up right now and strip for us?”
“You wish, cowboy.” She pulled his cowboy hat from his head and ran a few feet away. She placed it onto her own head and stared at the two of them.
“You two go first, and I’ll follow,” she told them.
Orlando smiled wide as he took off his sneakers. The man’s body was a work of art. She licked her lips, and he eyed her over as if he knew he was hot and she was susceptible to his charms. She slowly unclasped her jean shorts, stepped from her flip-flops and discarded her shorts. Then she slid the tank top off, letting it fall to the ground with her shorts, keeping Memphis’s hat on her head.
Both men watched her with hunger in their eyes.
“Damn, Cass, that’s some sexy string bikini you have on. Too bad you won’t be wearing it long,” Orlando teased as he pulled her up against his chest and kissed her deeply.
She felt his hands along her back and her ass then the other one cupped her breast. She would let him take her right here and now. Hell, he could spread her out on the grass and have his way with her. She didn’t even care.
“I think she’s trying to pull a fast one on you, Orlando. She’s too chicken to go up Devil’s Peak and jump,” Memphis challenged as Orlando released her lips.
“I’m not chicken. Just remember, when I jump after the two of you, that both of you get to do whatever I ask of you.”
“Oh, we’ll remember, but it’s going to be you doing us. I mean doing what we want,” Memphis teased. Orlando laughed.
She felt her cheeks warm and her belly do a series of somersaults. She really needed to shock these guys.
Orlando took her hand and led her up the high trail to the spot they called Devil’s Peak. They weren’t kidding when they said it was high up. It was a gorgeous spot, and a large, pointed boulder stood out over the edge of the water pretty damn far. There was a clearing behind them, and a thick, large rope hung high up over a big tree branch.
“That’s what you swing out on?” she asked, feeling a little uncertain.
Orlando grabbed onto it first. “Sure thing, baby. Just hold on, run, and don’t forget to let go when you’re over the water.”
“And how do you get more points to win?” she asked, pretending to be nervous. She had done crazier things than this with her fellow friends in the Corps. In fact, she’d jumped from some high killer waterfalls in Hawaii. This was a piece of cake, but she wouldn’t let them know.
She nibbled her bottom lip and then stepped a little closer to see the edge and look down below. It wasn’t too high at all. Maybe the height of a five-story building.
“You don’t have to do this if you’re chicken, Marine,” Orlando teased and then prepared to swing and jump.
“I’ll do it,” she said, and Orlando smiled.
“Come here and give me a good luck kiss. I’m going to cannonball off this baby and then wait below to strip you and have you be my little obedient sexual goddess.”
She raised one of her eyebrows up at him. “You sure are cocky. Why don’t you do a flip off of it? Then maybe I’ll be impressed.”
Orlando pulled her close and kissed her deeply. He ran his hand along her ass and gave it a smack.
“Watch yourself, sweetheart. There are lots of things that Memphis and I can do to you and this sexy body if you’re naughty.”
She chuckled as he pulled back. “Impress me, Orlando, and do a flip off of it.”
Now Orlando looked as cool as a cucumber as he shrugged and then prepared to jump. She and Memphis stayed toward the side and the edge so they could watch. There went Orlando through the air, and sure enough, he flipped and then landed into the water with a great big splash. He came up and gave a loud cheer.
“Come on down, sweetheart. The water is perfect.”
Memphis wrapped his arm around her waist from behind. She could feel his erection press against her ass. He kissed her neck and cupped her breast from behind.
“You get this body ready for us, baby. We’re going to make love to you everywhere.” He kissed her, and she turned in his arms, wrapped her arm around his neck, and held on to his cowboy hat.
“Can I wear this for good luck, so I’m not scared?”
He looked serious a moment. “You don’t have to do this if you’re scared. Orlando will get over it.” He cupped her chin and looked at the hat and then her wearing it. She felt badly for teasing him. He was being serious and putting her safety, her fears, first.
“I’ll be okay. I’ll see you down there,” she said, and he leaned down and kissed her.
They could hear Orlando yelling from below.
“He’s coming,” she called out as she walked to the edge, and a moment later, Memphis went by her, flipped, and then landed into the water below.
Cassidy had to think of something to top that. She hadn’t thought they would do a flip. She had to do something more so that she won the challenge. But what? It came to her instantly as she untied her bathing suit top and then the bottom. She would swing off naked, only wearing Memphis’s cowboy hat, and do a flip. That should make her the winner.
“Cassidy?”
They were calling her, and when she heard the concern in their voices, she rolled her bikini up in a ball, tied it, and walked naked to the edge. She could see their faces.
“Hold this for me please,” she called out and tossed the bathing suit down into the water.
Orlando howled, and Memphis caught the bathing suit. She ran for the rope, held on to her hat, and took a running start. She was a little nervous but more so from the anticipation of flying through the air and landing in the water below. More than likely, that water was going to be cold, despite the hot temperature.
As she made it to the edge, going really fast, she took off, released the rope, and flipped in the air then landed into the water. She swam underneath then emerged between Memphis and Orlando.
“Hot damn, woman, you are filled with surprises,” Memphis said and pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
Her breasts pressed up against his chest, and she felt his hands over her ass. Orlando joined them, kissing her shoulder and running his hands over her back and her ass and thighs.
“Well, I don’t know. That was kind of cheating,” Orlando told her.
She gasped, pulled back in Memphis’s arms, and looked at Orlando. “Cheating? How so?”
He cupped her breast.
“If I’d known you were going to swing off naked, wearing only Memphis’s hat, then I would have swung off naked too.”
“Well, that’s the plus to going last. I knew I had to out-do both of you, and I did. It’s what a smart Marine does. Improvise, adapt, and overcome. Now, you both have to do whatever I want you to do.”
“And what would that be?” Orlando asked.
She looked between them.
“Make love to me. In the water, on the water’s edge, up on Devil’s Peak, everywhere. I want both of you so badly it aches inside.”
“We ache for you too, baby. Bring her closer to the rocks, Memphis. I threw the other bag there,” Orlando said.
They made their way through the water toward the edge and an area where there were larger boulders sticking from the water. Sure enough, a few feet past that was a duffel bag.
Cassidy couldn’t see what Orlando was doing as Memphis began kissing her and stroking her pussy with his fingers. The water splashed around them as he rocked his hips and she rocked hers against him. He kept moving back, and then he lifted her hips, aligned his cock with her pussy, and pushed into her wet folds. She moaned, as the friction was tight under water. Each in and out motion caused some splashing around her. Then she was half out of the water just below her ass cheeks when she felt Orlando’s hands on her ass. His wet lips pressed against her skin.
She peeked over her shoulder to see him leaning against a boulder that sat mostly in the water. It was flat but probably not too comfortable. Then she felt the cool liquid against her anus, and she understood what they planned. She straddled Memphis tighter and kissed him.
“Relax those muscles, baby. I’m coming in and fucking this ass good,” Orlando told her and nipped her bare shoulder.
She felt her body shiver and cream lubricate Memphis’s cock as he rocked into her again and again.
“Do it, Orlando. I need you inside me too.”
She hugged Memphis, who held her snuggly. She felt the tip of Orlando’s cock against her puckered hole and then him push the thick, hard muscle deeper and deeper into her ass. A few in and out short strokes and he slid all the way in, making her moan and causing Memphis and Orlando to exhale.
“I love you, baby. I fucking love you,” Orlando told her and suckled her neck as he fucked her ass.
“I love you too. I love both of you. All of you,” she exclaimed, and Memphis cupped her cheeks and held her gaze as Orlando thrust over and over again.
“I love you too. Hold on tight, woman. It’s about to get insane,” Memphis said and kissed her.
When he released her lips, he and Orlando rocked into her over and over again, thrusting, stroking their cocks into her as she moaned and cried out her first orgasm of the day. She relished the feelings she had and the words she’d shared with Memphis and Orlando as the birds sung around them, the sun shone over their euphoria, and her heart and soul fell deeper in love with Memphis and Orlando. Her breasts felt so full and aroused as they slapped against Memphis’s chest.
Orlando growled out his release, and then Memphis followed. She was panting as she felt Orlando kissing her shoulder and back and Memphis kissing her breasts and her neck. He eased backward, causing Orlando’s cock to slide from her ass and his cock to slide from her pussy, and Memphis held her in his arms, taking her deeper into the water as he cradled her above.
“That was incredible, Cassidy. You’re my everything,” he whispered, and she let her body relax as she closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment.
She felt relaxed, protected, loved, and at peace, for the first time ever in her life, and she owed it to Orlando, Memphis, and their team.

They lay on a big blanket on the shoreline. Cassidy was wearing her string bikini again, despite their insistence not to. Orlando ran his finger along her belly by the scar she had. Cash had explained the whole story to all of them about how she’d sustained the wounds and saved numerous lives, including Red’s. She also killed a bunch of enemy soldiers, and it was all so impressive. But it also made him think about losing her and how they might have never met her. That led to thoughts about this guy who was after her.
She lay between them, her breasts overflowing the bikini top, and Memphis was lying on his back, holding her hand and kissing her fingers. They’d made love several times already and even eaten some lunch.
“Cass, Cash told us about the combat you saw and how you sustained your injuries.”
She didn’t open her eyes or look at him.
“I knew he would ask Red. I told him and Stryker to.”
“That’s pretty amazing stuff. You’re a hero, Cass. You represent everything a Marine stands for. You’re strong, you’re brave, and you stand up to every challenge with dignity and determination.”
“I’m not all that, Orlando.” She opened her eyes then pulled her hand from Memphis’s and rolled to her side to face Orlando.
“How can you say that? We heard the facts,” Memphis added and turned on his side to face her back and place his hand over her waist. She put her hands under her head and stared at Memphis. Her breasts pushed together, and she looked so sad suddenly.
“What is it, Cass? Why don’t you feel like you’re all those things?” he asked.
“Because I’m not. If I were, then I could have handled Blaze better. Before things got out of hand, I could have ended it, gotten that order of protection, gone to the police, the military, or whatever I needed to do, but I didn’t. I was so worried about coming across as a weak female Marine.”
“No, Cass, it’s not right to feel that way. The son of a bitch broke into your apartment and put a gun to your throat. He was going to kill you. You didn’t want to antagonize him or provoke him to lose it and take both your lives. That showed a lot of guts,” Orlando said to her.
She was silent a moment. “You think so?” she asked, and Memphis kissed her shoulder and snuggled up against her back.
“Definitely.”
“But I can’t change what I did. I can’t get that order of protection now or press charges or have him committed and analyzed. His friends cover for him every time anyway. They’ll make things up and say I lied. He’s got the upper hand.”
“No he doesn’t. You do because you have us and our friends. We can ensure your safety, Cass. We can protect you and get that guy off the streets so that he can’t find you and hurt you ever again,” Orlando told her.
“But I don’t want you guys involved. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
“We won’t get hurt because you told us all about the guy and how he wants you. He can’t surprise us,” Orlando said. “But we can surprise him. By coming at him in all directions and stopping him from hurting you.”
“None of the charges will stick. It’s my word against his. I didn’t report the things he did at the time, and I should have. None of that would stand up in court or to the police anyway.”
“Don’t be so sure. Will you let your friends help you? Will you let us help you?”
She was silent a moment, and Orlando wondered if she would push them away after all they’d shared these last few weeks and, of course, today. It was special.
“Don’t you want to stay here in Tranquility with all of us and make a life together?” Memphis asked.
She looked up at him and smiled softly. “Of course I do. I love all of you. I feel protected and cared for. I never had that. Never felt that. I lost my parents when I was a child. I had to live with an older aunt I didn’t know, and she was poor. The Marine Corps helped me get out and become someone, and that was my family. But being here and meeting all of you, it’s like you’ve filled this large hole in my heart that I’ve always had. I want more of what you make me feel. I w
ant to give you all of me, everything.”
“We can have that, baby. All of it and then some. Just let us in and let us take care of you,” Orlando told her.
She ran her palm along his chest, and he felt his cock grow thick and needy again.
“Okay, Orlando. I’ll try. I want to. I don’t want to leave here or leave all of you.”
Memphis cupped her breast then placed his palm against her cheek to turn her to look up at him.
“You’re ours to cherish, protect, and love. You’re a part of our team now, part of our family and our hearts.”
He kissed her, and once again, that kiss grew deeper, and Orlando joined in, pressing Cassidy’s bikini bottoms down then spreading her thighs and taking a taste of her cream so they could mark her once again, their lover, their woman, their everything.
Chapter 11
Everyone greeted Stryker, amazed that he had finally shown his face and was out with his team and Cassidy in Casper’s. But they all realized that it was completely Cassidy’s doing, and they were all happy for them.
Cash couldn’t help but smile to see his father’s proud expression as he spoke with Cassidy while Stryker kept his arm wrapped around her waist. Cash was impressed with her strength and how composed she was when she explained everything that had happened between her and Blaze to Gunner, Teddy, Jim, and a few other guys they knew in the Texas Rangers and local police department. They had some other friends in the Houston PD, and Gunner was going to call them tomorrow to see what they could do to track down Blaze and get things started.
Gunner felt that Cassidy could still get the restraining order and press charges against Blaze, plus have him arrested for breaking and entering, threatening to do bodily harm, and assault.
He worried about her and his team. If this guy somehow got away before they could find him and catch him, Cash would never be able to rest peacefully again. Cassidy would be under strict guard, and they would all be living in fear. That wasn’t the best way to continue with this special relationship.
He felt the hand on his shoulder and turned to see Garrett.
