Chapter Nine
“Don’t worry. You’ll get the girl. I have everything planned out. No one knows it’s me. I hired some thug to try to get her and make it look like he wanted her. Once it dies down and they run out of leads, I’ll take her and bring her to you.” He knew this was going to be a challenge, but now needed to maintain the Jackson’s trust and gain that stupid bitch’s trust as well. If all went as planned, he would have his money and get the fuck out of this hell hole. The food sucked and there was not a fucking bar in sight. He needed another drink and added some whiskey into his coffee cup. “Yeah, I know. You will have the bitch. I’ll call when I have her, and the money better be in my account.” With that, he hung up the phone. No need to talk longer and risk someone overhearing him. There were enough damn gossips in small towns, and this didn’t need to get out. Well, back to work.

Cooper headed into the sheriff’s office, hoping to find some more answers for the asshole that had attacked her, but found that he had been taken into custody by the CIA. “So, Rob, what were you able to find out? I heard that Agent Aston and Agent Parrish are working on some leads from this fuck.” Cooper was still upset, but couldn’t do much about it now.
“Well, Coop, as it sits, your girl was lucky. This guy had connection to De Carlo. He was going to take her to a small cabin outside of Lucky and had a helicopter on standby. If I were you, I would stay close to her. He found her location through someone here in town. You can’t trust anyone. Personally, I think it is one of the agents for the CIA, but again just keep an eye on her so we don’t have any more trouble,” Sherriff Morris said while he drank his coffee at his desk, grimacing at the taste. “When she gets better, she needs to come back. Cheddar Bob has been making coffee, and this crap is tar.” He set the mug down. Cooper agreed, and between the two of them they started to work on the information that had been provided to them about this sick fuck. Cooper wanted answers and this damn thing over with so he and Cash could finally be with their woman properly.
* * * *
Riley woke up to a silent house filled with the smell of coffee. It was odd. Usually the house was full of noise, either by the sheriff, his parents, or Cooper and Cash running around. Getting up, she dressed in her comfy sweats, not feeling much like herself, and went to find the men. She came down the stairs to find that Cash was at his computer, typing away. She had never actually seen him work on that thing, but he looked at home there. He seemed so lost in his work that when he went to take a drink of coffee, he frowned when he found it empty. “Want a refill?” Riley asked, startling him.
“Hey, kitten, how are you feeling? You should still be in bed. Want me to tuck you in?” Cash said as he rose from his seat. He had been so scared about what happened to her and wanted answers that he turned to the only thing he knew that would help him feel like he could do some good. His computer. So far he had not had any leads. The CIA agents had been keeping him informed with new progress they had made with the sick fuck that hurt Riley.
“No, I’m good, the house is quiet and I was making sure you guys were okay. You are okay, right?” Riley looked up at him and wondered if he was having second thoughts now that something serious had happened to her. She would leave with the agents if that was what the guys wanted.
“Kitten, I am fine, and better than you. I am just running down some leads. My mom was thinking about stopping by later to see how you were doing. Oh, and Cheddar Bob stopped by to try to get directions on how to make coffee at the office. Apparently, he doesn’t do it right. Also Sam stopped by and dropped off more of those bath salts you liked that smell like vanilla. She said to let her know what you think. Apparently, she is trying a new method.”
Riley laughed just thinking about the deputy. He was sweet, a little odd, but sweet. She also loved Cash’s mom. She was open, and just like a mom should be. She took the package from Cash and headed into the other room.
Cash talked about what he was working on and how his cousins Wes and Grady would be coming over later to watch her, as he and Cooper needed to tend to the cattle and fix the fence that still needed to be repaired. She agreed, as those two were funny. She had only really met them once and knew they liked to joke and goof around, but she could tell they were both big ladies’ men. Heading into the kitchen, she was in desperate need of coffee. She smiled when she saw that her mug was sitting next to Cooper’s mug by the coffee machine.
Right about ten in the morning, Wes and Grady showed up with books, flowers, and chocolate. She laughed hard as they said she was not easy to shop for. She thanked them and set the flower aside in a vase in the living room. She loved the books as well.
“Well, short stop, I wasn’t sure what kind of books you liked, so we picked out one we liked,” Wes said as he winked at her. She looked at the first book and choked on her coffee. It was a BDSM romance novel and a very explicit one, as well. Then the next book was about werewolves and more sex
“Um, thanks. God, can I say you have sex on the brain?” She laughed as they both laughed and blushed at the same time.
The day went pretty smoothly as Evelyn stopped by and even made everyone dinner. Wes and Grady left right after giving her a hug. She and Evelyn walked outside to talk as they sat out on the porch.
“So dear, how is everything going with Cash and Cooper? Are they treating you okay? I know when their fathers get into a protective mood, it is their way of showing that they love me,” Evelyn said reassuringly.
“I don’t know. To be honest, I don’t have good references when it comes to men. I have to admit that I care for them, but I saw my mother love several men throughout her life. However, each man she fell for used her for their needs and then when she got too old, they discarded her like trash. I was always there to pick up the pieces, but she never cared about me. I just want this to work.”
“Oh, sweetheart, let me fill you in with some family history from my side. I grew up as an only child. However, my husbands grew up in large families where a ménage marriage was normal. My children never wanted for anything. There was always someone available to help with homework, baseball, plays, dance, or whatever my children needed, or even what I needed. We have a deeper connection than most, because we are built on trust. Trust is the most precious gift you can give anyone. I can see it in the way my boys look at you that they do love you. My question for you is do you trust them?” Evelyn questioned her as she took Riley’s hand.
Riley looked at the woman sitting next to her and knew what it was like to actually have a mother. Riley smiled and looked at her. “Yes, I trust both of them with all my heart.” Riley could feel a single tear slide from her eye as the realization hit her. She loved them!
When night started to fall and Evelyn left, Cooper and Cash rejoined her in the living room. Cash carefully laid a pillow beneath her head as she rested on his lap. The simple gesture made her smile, as they had thought of her head injury. Watching another movie, Riley again fell asleep with the men surrounding her.
* * * *
The weekend was coming to a close, and the men were driving her nuts. They would kiss her and touch her, but she was getting horny and they said no because she was still recovering. She couldn’t stand it anymore and she needed to figure out a way to get them to allow her to go to work.
“You are not going to work, and that’s final, Riley,” Cash stated as he finished loading up the dishwasher with dinner dishes.
“I don’t see why not. I will have the sheriff there, and Cheddar Bob will be there, so I don’t see the problem. I can’t just sit around all day and do nothing. I need to work. I need to do something other than sit and worry about every little thing. I am going to go to work, and all I asked was which one of you would kindly drive me, not if I can go,” Riley yelled back as she stomped her foot like a petulant child. She had had enough with them telling her what she could and could not do. She was her own person, and she needed to do something. Cooper and Cash had given her back some
of her spirit again, and she was damned if she was going to wallow and lose it again.
Cooper came behind her and hugged her around the waist. “Darlin’, we are just looking out for you. We don’t want to kill your spirit. As a matter of fact, I love a woman with fire in her belly. However, you need to look at it from our point of view. You have been attacked in broad daylight, and I will not let anything happen to you. You mean so much to both me and Cash, baby. Please, at least wait a couple more days while we figure something out. We almost have the mole. Can you wait until that threat is gone, and I will go into work with you, okay?” Cooper asked as he slowly kissed down her neck to where it met with her shoulder. Riley could feel her body start to react and turned in his arms, seeking out his lips. Reaching up, she pulled him close and covered his mouth with hers. The kiss was sweet and light. When she tried to deepen it, Cooper released her. “Darlin’ you’re not ready yet. You still need to recover,” She felt Cash move up behind her. She turned and reached for Cash as he, too, kissed her. He, however, did let her deepen the kiss. She moaned in response when he took her bottom lip between his teeth.
“God, kitten, I want you so damn much, but you’re not ready yet.” Frustrated, Riley pushed him away, determined to take matters into her own hands. She started to walk away.
She stopped just short of the door. “Fine, since you don’t want to play with me, I will go and play with myself. Did you happen to look in the bag Sam got me, Cash? Because if you had, you would have noticed a little toy. Granted, it’s not as big as you, but I’m sure it wouldn’t turn me down,” she said and headed up the stairs.
“What the fuck, Cash? Does she have a toy? How did you not know that?” Cooper felt bewildered as he watched Riley saunter up the stairs to the room.
“I saw it, but I thought it was a damn joke. She brought over salts and a fucking vibrator. Fuck, we gotta go,” Cash said and ran up the stairs after her. As they got to the room, Riley had pulled off her shirt and pants and was lying on the bed in a lavender lacy bra-and-panty set that barely covered her up. The color was great on her skin, as she was a pretty pale, and she looked like a little fairy in that color. She started to run her fingers over her nipples, pinching them, as he knew she liked to feel a bit of pain with her pleasure.
Both her men stood by the door just watching the show she was putting on for them. She knew they had found it erotic, and that it was one of their fantasies come true. Riley kept her small finger on her breast and started to move lower. When her finger slipped beneath her panties to touch her throbbing clit, she moaned in response. That was enough for the men to wake up and come play with her. Both of them stripped in no time and lay naked next to her. Cash removed her fingers and sucked her juice off of them like a fucking Popsicle while Cooper bent and took her nipple into his hot mouth. Looking over, Riley noticed that Cash had grabbed her vibrator from the drawer. Soon she was removed from her undergarments and sprawled naked next to the men. Cooper didn’t stop his talented mouth sucking on one of her breast. The vibrator was small, but was used to stimulate her clit. The small buzzing noise made her lift her head as Cash had a wicked grin on his face while he moved it back and forth against her folds. She threw her head back as the vibrator ran through her body. But it wasn’t enough to throw her over.
“More,” she yelled as Cooper bit on her nipple, leaving tiny teeth marks on her breast.
“More what, kitten? I’m using your toy. Do you want this toy”—he rubbed it back and forth or her clit—“or do you want my cock?” Riley knew exactly what she needed but wanted to draw out the moment longer. Cash took the moment to hold the vibrator over her clit and left it there. She was dripping wet and leaking her cream down her legs.
“I want you inside me, Cash. Now, please. I need to come.” Riley could see the devilish smile on his face at her request.
“You only need to ask, kitten.” And he thrust into her in one move and started a pounding rhythm. She turned her head to see Cooper’s cock pointed right at her. She stuck her tongue out as she licked the pre-cum from the tip before bringing it all the way into her mouth. He tasted so good. She never thought she would like the taste of man in her mouth, but both Cooper and Cash sent her into another plane when she made them come. He gripped her hair tight to help hold her in place while he fucked her mouth. Hollowing out her cheeks, she sucked him all the way back to her throat, hearing him moan in response. She gripped his balls and squeezed, making him shoot his seed down into her waiting mouth.
Cash kept his pace as she felt herself starting to go, to push her over the edge with him she placed her rabbit on her clit, and Riley exploded, milking Cash cock, making him shoot his seed down into her waiting mouth. Finally sated, Riley fell into a blissful sleep with her men.
The next morning she had called the doctor and set her appointment to next day as scheduled. Once the time was set, she went down to inform either Cash or Cooper. She found them both in the office working away on the computer. She knocked before she entered. They both looked up and smiled, but it wasn’t a smile that went all the way to their eyes. She could tell they were not happy about something.
“Hey, just wanted to let you know I moved my appointment up. It’s for tomorrow morning. Is that all right?” She needed to make sure they were fine with her going into town again.
“Sure, kitten, just let us finish up here, and we can take you, okay?” Cash was onto something, and she didn’t want to disturbed them. Just then, before she could ask what was wrong, someone knocked on the door. Knowing she was not allowed the answer the door until this whole mess was done with, she let Cooper get up and get it.
Cheddar Bob was standing at the door with Agents Aston and Parrish. She now knew something was up. Cooper led them into the office after kissing her on the head. Wanting to find out what was going on, she decided to follow them into the room.
“I’m sorry, Riley, but you must wait out outside. We have certain business to attend to,” Agent Parrish said. Riley was stunned. Wasn’t this all about her, and why was she being left out of the loop? Not sure how to respond, she left and went to the kitchen to get a drink. Picking up a book, she decided to sit and read until it was time to start on dinner.
* * * *
“Are you sure it was someone from town?” Cash asked as he looked over the information that was spread out before him. It was a list of people who had issues within the town and means to hurt Riley.
“I’m sure. The guy didn’t give us much, and he lawyered up as soon as we started to interrogate the prick. He did slip that someone paid him off, but that is only because the sheriff provided the information to us. I think we should all work together and figure out who it is and take them down. Once that is done, Riley can be safe. Then we can take Riley back to Washington to nail De Carlo once and for all,” Agent Aston stated as he smoothed out the paperwork in front of him.
After talking for what seemed like only a few minutes, there was a knock at the door. Cash went to open the door. Riley stood just outside it, looking a little hesitant. “Um, I need a ride into town to get some items for dinner. Can I go alone, or can someone take me?” Crap, they had been so wrapped up in trying to figure out what to do that they hadn’t given much thought that she may need to go somewhere outside the house. He was going to say something until Cheddar Bob spoke.
“I can take Riley if she wants. She would be safe with me, as long as we go right there and back.” Riley smiled up at him and his kindness, but she really wanted one of them to take her. However, by the look of the papers that were spread out on the desk, she could see they were on to something important. She knew they cared about her and wanted this to be over as much as she did. She agreed with the understanding that they were okay with it as well. Heading out the door, both Cash and Cooper came over and gave her a kiss. Cooper’s was sweet and promised more for later, whereas Cash’s was demanding and hot.
“Now, kitten, listen to Cheddar Bob, or I will spank your ass good, do you unders
tand me?”
“You wouldn’t dare,” Riley challenged, knowing he actually would.
“Oh, kitten, you only need to misbehave and I would love to turn your lush ass a pretty shade of pink.” He leaned closer to whisper in her ear. “I also know that right now your pretty pussy is creaming at the thought, and I am all too happy to dry you off with my tongue when you get back from town, so behave until then.” And with that, he winked and walked back into the office.
Still stunned, Riley climbed into the police truck that Cheddar Bob drove and headed into town. She had a couple of questions for the doctor anyway. She was glad, in a way, that the men were not with her, as she could not handle their overprotectiveness right now.
Cheddar Bob was sweet. He was constantly asking her if she was okay, and if there was anything he could do. He even had the nerve to ask if the men were taking good care of her, and that she could always stay with him. Half the time she was dreaming about her time with her boys. She loved that they made love to her every night and took care of her, but would she ever be free to just be with them?
Chapter Ten
Cash and Cooper sat there staring, not believing what they had found. Cheddar Bob was behind it all. Why the hell hadn’t they looked into him sooner? He had a hidden account where he had received a large deposit, which was then sent to the fucker who attacked Riley. The numbers didn’t lie. Now they sent her out with him. Shit, how could they have been so stupid to trust him? Then again, who would have thought it was him, making him the best possible person to be able to pull this off. But something didn’t sit right with Cash. He just didn’t fit the profile of a person who would do this. Cheddar Bob was always all over Riley, but it was like a schoolboy crush.
