Lilly really didn’t want to get into this before she even stepped foot in the door. “No, I’m not dating Jeff. Someone vandalized my car last night so Ryker said I could borrow his truck. Is that okay with you? Or should I have phoned first?”
Mary narrowed her eyes. “What, you going out with Ryker Good now? I thought he was in that perverted relationship with his own twin.”
Lilly took a deep breath. Her mom tried to pull her into the house, but instead, Lilly handed Debbie the plate of food. “You go on in. There’s something I need to clear up with Mary.”
Debbie looked at her and finally sighed. “I imagine this means you won’t be staying?”
“Sorry, mom. I’ll set the bitch straight then I’m outta here.”
Her mom gave her a kiss on the cheek. “You don’t need to run away just because one person doesn’t understand.”
“No, you’re right, I don’t. But I’m also not going to spend my free time around people who think like Mary does. Life’s too short to put up with the bitches of the world just to be polite.”
Debbie nodded and went inside. Lilly turned toward Mary and started walking. She had no plans of hitting the woman, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t scare her a little. Mary took a step back for every one Lilly took toward her. When she was finally backed against the porch railing, Lilly leaned in, her face inches away from Mary’s. “Now you listen here. If I ever hear you say another bad word about Ranger and Ryker, I’ll kick your scrawny ass from one end of Main Street to the other. They’re very private people and you need to learn to respect that. Whether I’m dating Ryker or Ranger or both of them, it’s no business of yours. Now get your own life and leave the people I care about alone.”
Mary looked shocked. “So, you’re just as perverted as they are?”
“Look, Little Mary Sunshine, if I were you, I wouldn’t talk about perversions. Not with all the talk I’ve heard around town about you. I never mentioned what I’ve heard because it’s usually just a bunch of drunk guys talking at the bar, but if you push me, believe me, I’ve got enough ammunition on you to make both your folks disown you. Now, back the hell off.” Lilly didn’t wait for Mary to reply. She turned on her heels and walked back to the truck. At least she knew of two sexy men who’d be happy to see her.
Chapter Ten
Ready for their usual evening ride, Ranger finished cinching Pete’s saddle and looked over at Ryker. “You about done?”
Hoisting his long frame into the saddle, Ryker reached down to pet Lolly. “We’re ready.”
Their attention went to the front of the house when they heard a vehicle pull up. Ranger groaned, “Sounds like company.” He mounted Pete and they rode toward the front of the house. Ranger was surprised to see Lilly still sitting in Ryker’s black pickup with her head on the steering wheel.
Riding over to the window, he knocked. Lilly’s head sprang up and she smiled. The window rolled down and Lilly leaned her arm on the door. “What are you two cowboys up to?”
“Just going for our usual evening ride. What happened?” He could tell by the look on her face she wasn’t happy, though he didn’t see tears so at least he knew she hadn’t been crying.
Lilly smiled and waved away his concerns. “I just realized that I’d rather spend my evening with the two of you.”
Ranger knew she wasn’t telling them the whole truth. He suspected she’d had her first brush with the ladies of the town and their attitudes toward him and Ryker. “Well, lucky you caught us. Care to slip up behind me and go for a ride?”
“I’d love that.”
Ranger moved Pete back and Lilly opened the door.
Looking over his shoulder, he could see Ryker and Lolly waiting patiently by the corner of the house. Evidently, Ryker was giving him a few moments alone with Lilly. It said more than words could have about Ryker’s hopes the two of them would fall in love as well.
It wasn’t until Lilly climbed out of the truck that he saw her white shorts. Smiling, he pointed toward them. “You might want to change into some blue jeans. If you don’t those pretty shorts will be brown by the time we get back.”
Lilly looked down and blushed. “Yeah, I guess you’re right. Give me a second?”
“Sure, let me just get your bag for you,” Ranger said. He dismounted and reached in the truck bed to heft out the large suitcase. Walking toward the house, he gave Ryker a wink. “I won’t be but a minute.” Without the actual words, he was assuring his brother he wouldn’t take liberties with Lilly while in the house.
Ryker surprised him with a wide grin. “Take your time. Lolly and I will graze the lawn.”
He narrowed his eyes at Ryker. “Keep Lolly away from my grass.” He’d worked for years to try and get a nice lawn to grown in the thick shade of the trees that surrounded their house, and Ryker knew damn well he didn’t want Lolly grazing.
Following Lilly into the house, they walked through to the bedroom. Ranger sat the suitcase on the end of the bed and turned toward the closet. “We emptied out half this dresser and a good amount of closet space.”
Unzipping her suitcase, Lilly rifled around for a pair of jeans. “The dresser space I can definitely use, but I didn’t bring many hanging up things. I’m a pretty casual girl.”
Ranger couldn’t resist and stepped up behind her. Pressing himself against Lilly’s back, he kissed her neck. “My kind of woman. Although, I’ll admit, I sure did enjoy that pretty dress you wore the other day.” He reached down and unbuttoned her shorts. Sliding the zipper down, he let the white cotton fall to the floor as he ran his hands over the pretty white lace of her underwear.
“I brought a few. I wish I had something sexy to wear for the two of you, but I’ve never really had a need for such clothes.” Lilly dropped the jeans in her hand and reached back to place them on the back of Ranger’s neck.
Subtly shifting one of her legs up onto the bed, Ranger slipped his fingers under the waistband of her panties. “Mmm, you’re always so wet,” he groaned against her neck.
“Only when I’m around the two of you,” Lilly replied.
A sudden attack of the guilts stilled his hand as it rubbed against her clit. “How ’bout we take a blanket on our ride with us. You, me and Ryker, under the stars for your first time?”
“Yes,” she whispered, turning her head to get a kiss.
Ranger removed his hand and spun her around into his arms. “I can’t think of anything more beautiful than the sight of you spread out naked on a blanket by the pond.” He kissed her, delving his tongue deep, sweeping inside her mouth with a passion that was quickly becoming unmanageable.
Lilly was the first to pull back. “If you don’t stop kissing me like that, I’ll tell you to forget the ride and take me right here,” she winked.
“Can’t have that. Ryker and I promised each other we’d make it special for you. Why don’t you get changed, and I’ll hunt up a blanket and some supplies.” Ranger turned from her, and dug through the bedside table for several condoms and a tube of lube. Stuffing the necessities in his shirt pocket, he went to the kitchen, found a large freezer bag, and added a wet dishtowel.
Lilly came into the kitchen smiling, “Anything I can help you with?”
He turned around and shook his head. “Nope, just need to get a blanket and we’re all set. Why don’t you go out and make sure Ryker’s horse isn’t destroying my lawn.”
By the time he had everything together and went outside, Ryker and Lilly were already kissing, Lilly leaning over the porch rail and Ryker still on Lolly’s back. He cleared his throat, breaking the two of them apart and handed the blanket and baggie to Ryker. “You carry these. I already called dibs on riding with Lilly.”
“Oh, you so did not call dibs, but I’ll give you this round because you went in and did all the work.”
Ranger knew Ryker was still in matchmaking mode because he could argue with the best of them and if he’d really wanted Lilly to ride with him, he’d have gotten his way. Ranger ga
ve Ryker a look that told him he knew exactly what he was doing.
Ryker flashed his stunning toothy grin and looked up at the sky. “Clouds are moving in. If we don’t get to riding, we’ll all get wet.”
Ranger took Lilly’s hand and muttered, “Some of us are already wet.”
Ryker did a double take, looking from Ranger to Lilly. “Well let’s get a move on.”
Ranger let her saddle up first before sitting behind her. He kissed Lilly’s neck and whispered in her ear, “You’ll be safer in the saddle, and I can play.” He handed the reins to Lilly, knowing she was an excellent rider. “We’ll have to bring your horse over from your mom’s.”
“I’d like that. It’ll be fun to ride alongside the two of you in the evenings.” She moaned as Ranger cupped her bouncing breasts. “Although this way definitely has advantages.”
As they neared the pond, the sky started to rumble. Looking up Ranger could smell the rain in the air. As long as the lightening didn’t get too close, let it rain, he thought. His cock was so hard he thought he might be putting dents into the back of the saddle as he continued to rock against it, fondling Lilly’s breasts through her open shirt. By the time they arrived at the pond, Lilly’s back was arched as she leaned into his ministrations.
Ryker was the first off his horse. He didn’t bother tying Lolly, instead dropping her reins to the ground. This was her home and she felt as comfortable by the pond as anywhere. Spreading the blanket in a soft patch of grass, he undressed in no time, never taking his eyes off Ranger and Lilly. Stalking toward them, Ryker eyed Ranger’s hands still fondling Lilly’s breasts. “My turn,” he said, pulling Lilly off Pete and into his arm.
Ryker carried Lilly to the blanket and eased her out of the remainder of her clothes. When they were both naked, Ryker wrapped himself around Lilly. “I love you,” he whispered, looking into the green depths of her eyes. “I’m nervous. Want this to be special for you.”
Lilly cupped his cheek. “It’s already perfect.”
Ranger knelt beside them and dropped the lube and condoms on the blanket. Ryker looked over and watched as his brother fisted his hard cock, pumping it slowly. As the first raindrop fell, Ryker began to lick his way down Lilly’s body, squeezing and nipping at her engorged nipples before moving on. He got a sigh as he sucked the skin at the top of her pelvis. He needed to mark this woman, the need was undeniably caveman mentality, but as he brought the blood to the top of the skin, he felt satisfied. Swirling his tongue through the small patch of closely cropped curls, Ryker glanced over at Ranger. Although he was still stroking himself, he had a look on his face Ryker had never seen before. Lilly thrust her hips, and wrapped her fingers in his hair, pushing him lower. Well if that isn’t a hint. He smiled. Separating the lips of her pussy, Ryker inhaled. Damn, her scent was forever imprinted on his soul. He licked the soft folds, scraping his teeth lightly across the tender flesh, before sliding his tongue through her channel and up to her clit. Taking the swollen flesh in his mouth, he bit down gently. Lilly moaned and gripped his hair in a tighter fist. Releasing his hold on her clit, he moved down to delve his tongue deep into her core. Ryker moaned as Lilly’s taste exploded across his tongue. He felt his pre-cum dripping down onto the blanket and knew if he didn’t bury himself in her depths he would die.
Ryker looked up from his position between Lilly’s thighs and looked at Ranger. “You plan on joining us?”
“Yeah,” Ranger said looking up into the rain. “I’m trying to figure out what area to delve into first.”
Ryker saw that look pass over Ranger’s face again as he stretched out beside Lilly and took her mouth in an erotic, tongue lashing kiss. Ryker watched them for a few seconds making sure Ranger was indeed okay with this, before reaching for a condom. Tearing the foil package open, he looked to Ranger. The question of who would make love to Lilly first had never really been discussed, and Ryker wanted to make sure before taking the lead.
Ranger gave him a solemn look and nodded. Ryker assumed the expression had to do with the fact that Ranger wanted a turn. Well, he’d have to just wait. As Ryker rolled the condom down his length, the sky opened up. “Would you rather take this back to the house?” he asked Ranger and Lilly.
Lilly shook her head. “Not until I’m officially yours.”
Deciding they needed to get Lilly into the house as soon as possible, Ryker reached down and checked to make sure Lilly was wet enough. He knew the first time would be a little painful, but at least he could make sure she was well lubed. Smiling, he buried two fingers in her drenched core. Pulling them back out, he held his fingers to Ranger’s lips. “Our lady’s ready.”
Ryker moaned as Ranger took the offered gift, licking Ryker’s fingers clean before releasing them. Leaning over her, Ryker held his cock by the root and positioned it at her wet pussy. As he slowly, inched his way inside her tight sheath, he watched her face for any sign of discomfort. What he saw, was the face of a woman in transformation. When his cock came to the barrier of her virginity, Ryker kissed her. “This might hurt for a second.”
Lilly’s answer was to thrust up, impaling herself on Ryker’s cock. Her face showed nothing of pain, only joy as she tossed her head from side to side. Confident that Lilly could handle him, Ryker began a slow rhythm in and out of her wonderfully tight cunt. “So good,” he moaned, as her body tightened around his cock every time he withdrew. He saw Ranger sit up out of his peripheral vision and figured Ranger was stepping back to give Ryker and Lilly this special time together. God he loved that man.
As Ranger watched Ryker and Lilly he felt something shift inside him. This was as big a step for Ranger as it was for Lilly. He’d seen Ryker have sex with women before, just as Ryker had seen him, but this was different. This was Ryker declaring his love for Lilly. Though their relationship was admittedly odd, Ryker and he had never had intercourse with each other. They allowed themselves to express their love through kisses and hand jobs. Hell, once or twice, they’d even gotten drunk and given each other head, but they’d always drawn the line at penetration. Now, looking at the love in Ryker’s eyes, a wave of jealousy clouded his vision. They’d always loved each other, been connected in a way no one else had understood, but until this moment he’d never known the true depths of those feelings. Now watching Ryker making love to Lilly, Ranger was suddenly terrified Lilly would somehow take his place in Ryker’s heart. That she would have a piece of Ryker he’d never have.
Ranger pulled back a little and watched as Ryker and Lilly writhed on the blanket as one. They were so beautiful together. Suddenly, Ranger was glad it was raining so neither of them would notice the tears that began to drip down his face. This was the reason he’d put Ryker off from Lilly for so long. He’d made excuses about her age for years but he knew in his heart, this was what he hadn’t been prepared for.
As he watched Ryker kiss her, Ranger felt cut-off. He felt his breath hitch as the two of them began to pick up speed. It looked like they’d been doing this for years, both of them looking at each other with love in their eyes. It was suddenly too much and Ranger started to stand, to run back to the safety of his home. What kind of freak was he that he suddenly wished with all his heart that he was Lilly. That Ryker was making love to him. He could never let Ryker know, the thought of seeing disgust aimed toward him from Ryker was enough to keep him silenced forever.
A hand shot out and wrapped around his wrist before he even had time to move. Ranger looked up into Ryker’s amethyst eyes. “Don’t,” was all Ryker said.
Ranger flashed a glance down at Lilly who apparently was in another world. Her neck arched, eyes closed. The knowing look Ryker gave him made him feel ashamed. This was a beautiful moment for Ryker, and Ranger knew he was ruining it. Shame filled him as Ryker drew him in for a kiss, his knowing eyes never breaking contact with Ranger’s.
Lilly yelled as she climaxed. They broke their kiss and looked down at her. She was staring at the two of them, watching them kiss. Ranger just hoped like h
ell she couldn’t read his thoughts as well as Bub could. At least he knew he still held his secret.
Ranger watched as the veins in Ryker’s neck stood prominently as he emptied his seed into the condom. Several seconds later, he was pulled down with Ryker to help shield Lilly’s body from the pounding rain. He watched Ryker give Lilly a tender kiss before turning back to him. He knew what Ryker wanted.
Swallowing his hurt, Ranger placed a tender kiss on Lilly’s lips, knowing things may never be the same between him and his brother.
Chapter Eleven
Ranger insisted Ryker cradle Lilly in his arms on the ride home. He was afraid she’d be sore after her first time and didn’t want to take chances with her riding on the hard saddle. Now, cradling Lilly’s small body against his chest he watched Ranger’s back as he rode in front of them.
“What’s wrong?” Lilly asked, her head resting on his chest.
“Nothing,” Ryker said, holding her a little tighter.
Lilly looked up at him before turning her head to look at Ranger. “Have I done something?”
“No, sweetheart, you haven’t done anything wrong.” He looked down and gave her a tentative smile. “Ranger’s hurting. I’m not sure why, but I can feel it, I always could.”
“Do you want me to leave?”
“No, but I need a little time alone with him to try and find out what’s going on. I’ll draw you a nice hot bath when we get home and while you’re soaking and getting warm, I’ll talk to him.” He just hoped Ranger would let him. Ryker knew the second Ranger started to pull away. It was almost like a physical sensation going off in his brain. He wished he knew the reason. The only thing he could come up with was that Ranger had figured out he’d never be able to fall in love with Lilly. The thought broke his heart. Loving her was as natural as breathing to him, and he wouldn’t give her up without a fight.
