Twin Temptations (5 page)

“I think it would be best if we took you home,” Ranger said, looking at Ryker. “I’m not sure I trust the look on Bub’s face right now.” Ranger grinned and gave Ryker a wink.

“Yeah, that might be best,” he agreed, feeling way too horny to trust himself much longer.

After they both gave Lilly a good-night kiss at her door, Ranger held Ryker’s hand as they walked toward the truck. “It was a good date,” Ranger said, breaking away to open his door.

“The best,” Ryker grinned, getting in his side.

As soon as they left town, Ryker scooted over next to him. “Thank you,” he said, nibbling on Ranger’s neck.

Tilting his head to the side, he smiled. “You can thank me when we get home. I’m horny as hell now.”

“Why wait,” Ryker said, opening Ranger’s jeans.

He felt Bub’s hand cover his cock, seconds before his thumb pressed against the slit at the top. “Oh, fuck.” One more mile and they’d be in their own drive where he could pull over. He didn’t dare stop on the side of the road, not with his family living just down the road.

Trying to concentrate on the road, he rested a hand atop Ryker’s. “Feels good.”

“Mmm hmm,” Ryker pumped harder kissing his neck.

Pulling onto their private drive, Ranger waited until they reached the tree-line before stopping the truck. He tilted the steering wheel to give Ryker more room and thrust up into Bub’s touch. “Yes,” he growled, feeling his sac draw up tight to his body.

Ryker held his hand still while Ranger continued to thrust into it. “Gonna,” he panted moments before the first spurt of seed left his cock. He grabbed the back of Ryker’s head and pulled him in for a deep kiss. “Oh, oh that was good,” he moaned.

After cleaning Ranger’s cock, Ryker tucked him back in. Ranger smiled and kissed him once more. “Let’s get home so I can take care of you.”

“I’m all for that,” Ryker said with a smile.

Lying in Ranger’s arms, Ryker kissed his chest. “Where should we take her tomorrow night?”

“Oh, I don’t know. I was thinking of LaMonts.” Ranger swirled his fingers around Ryker’s short curls.

“Kinda fancy. Lilly doesn’t really strike me as the fancy-type. How about we just get a steak at Cattleman’s Choice?”

“That sounds fine. You might want to give her a call and let her know. Women like to be prepared so they dress appropriately,” Ranger grinned.

“Feels weird, taking a woman’s needs into consideration.” Ryker bit Ranger’s already red nipple. “I like it.”

“Rawley called again today. He’s still bugging me to run for City Council.”

“You thinking about it?”

“Hell no. But the more I think about Rawley running for Mayor, the more I think he’s making a mistake. That man was born to be Sheriff, he loves it. Can you honestly see him behind a desk all day dealing with government bureaucrats?”

Ryker shrugged. “He just wants some changes around here. Since Mayor Channing’s indictment for bribery and tax evasion, Rawley’s been on a mission. So tell me why you don’t want to help him?”

“It’s not that. It’s the fact that I don’t want to live my life under a microscope. I enjoy working and then coming home where I don’t have to answer to anyone but you.”

“And hopefully Lilly,” Ryker interjected.

“Yeah, and hopefully Lilly,” Ranger whispered before they both drifted off to sleep.

Chapter Six

Pulling up to the small farmhouse, Lilly looked out over grounds knowing her mom would be outside somewhere. The farm had belonged to her grandpa before he’d passed away. Lilly had never known her father, so it had been just the two of them since her grandpa died when she was thirteen.

Spotting her mom’s legs sticking out from under the old red tractor, Lilly walked toward the barn. Sitting in the small area of shade given off by the tractor tire, Lilly picked a blade of grass and began shredding it. “Hey, Momma.”

“Hey, baby girl, what brings you out here on your day off?” Debbie Turner asked, crawling out from under the broken machinery.

“I need to talk to you.” Lilly continued to pick and shred grass, not looking at her mom.

Debbie wiped her hands on a rag and scooted to the shade, shoulder to shoulder with Lilly. “So talk.”

When Lilly hesitated, her mom bumped her shoulder. “You know there’s nothing you can say to me to make me love you any less, so out with it.”

“I want to date Ryker and Ranger Good,” Lilly blurted out.

“Oh, Lilly.” Her mom shook her head and wrapped her up in a hug. “There’s so many things wrong with that idea. First and foremost, those two men are closer to my age than yours.”

“Please, Mom, it’s not about the age and we both know it.”

“It’ll be hard on you, but I guess growing up without a father was hard too and you made it through just fine. Do you see this becoming serious or is it just a whim.”

“I’ve loved them for years, and Ranger told me Ryker feels the same way.”

“What about Ranger? He’s involved isn’t he?”

“Ranger’s different. I mean, I know he likes me and he’s attracted to me, but he seems to be holding himself back.”

Resting her head on Lilly’s shoulder, Debbie sighed. “Some men are afraid of commitment. I’ve also never know those brothers to do anything separately. You can’t have one without the other.”

“I know.”

“What happens in the future? I know you’re still young, but I hope you talk with them before things get too serious. You love children, always have. Someday soon you need to discuss what you want for the future. Sex and dating is all fine and dandy, but you have to move toward what you want out of life, and I don’t see you giving up the idea of having a husband and children. Even for the Good twins.”

Lilly couldn’t help but giggle as she gave her mom a little shove. “God, we’ve just started dating. I can’t ask them about marriage and babies yet.”

“Well you need to do it before you get yourself in too deep. I know from experience.”

That snapped Lilly back to reality. Yeah, her mom did know something about that. She’d dated her high school sweetheart, sure he’d want to marry her after they graduated, Debbie Turner let Jes Mackey take her virginity. When she came up pregnant right before graduation, Jes turned his back on her and went off to college. He’d been killed in a drunk driving accident when he was in his junior year. Debbie had never dated another man. To this day she claimed he’d been the love of her life. Lilly always thought her mom was simply too afraid to love again.

“I’ll talk to them, soon, but not yet,” Lilly finally agreed.

Her mom kissed her forehead. “That’s all I can ask. Well, that’s not true. I do have one more favour. The three of you get down to the clinic and get yourselves checked out, and you get yourself on the pill.”

“Mom,” Lilly said, feeling completely embarrassed.

“You want my blessing? That’s the price.” Debbie winked.

Wearing a pink and orange floral skirt and orange tank top, Lilly greeted her dates at the door. “Hey, guys, you’re a little early,” she said as she gave each of them a kiss. “Just let me get my shoes and purse and I’ll be ready.”

Ranger and Ryker followed her inside her tiny garage apartment. Ranger jabbed Ryker in the ribs with his elbow. “Someone was a little anxious, sorry.”

Waving their concerns away, she sat on the bed to strap on high-heeled white sandals. “It’s not a problem.” Transferring her wallet and brush to her small white purse she smiled. “I know, women!” She rolled her eyes as Ranger and Ryker chuckled.

Walking toward the door, she leaned in for one more kiss from both of them. “I’ve been looking forward to this.”

Ryker took an extra kiss and patted her ass. “You have no idea how hard it was to concentrate on work today.”

“Ready?” Ranger asked, opening the door.

Ryker’s brow lifted as he grinned. “Guess that’s our cue to break it up.”

With Lilly nestled between the two brothers, they made their way out of town to the interstate. “I haven’t been to the Cattleman’s Choice for years.” She rested a hand on Ranger’s thigh and was happy to get a grin and a wink. When she put her hand on Ryker’s though, he winced. Lilly quickly lifted her hand. “I’m sorry, is that your sore leg?”

Ryker took her hand in his. “Yeah, best either go above or below.” He brought Lilly’s hand to his upper thigh. “My vote is for above.”

Lilly felt herself blush as her fingers grazed the prominent bulge behind the denim fly. “You’re trying to get me in trouble.”

Grinning, Ryker leaned forward and looked at Ranger. “You planning on yelling at Lilly for trying to grope me on the way to Lincoln?”

“Nope, can’t say as I blame her for wanting to do that.”

Ryker looked back and Lilly and flashed a big toothy smile. “See? No trouble, amuse yourself.”

Lilly knew he was teasing, but the temptation was very strong to do just that. She tried to keep her hand still, but Ryker kept squirming in his seat, causing the back of her hand to continually brush his erection. “Now you’re tormenting me and you.”

Ranger reached behind Lilly and thumped Ryker’s head. “Behave.”

“Yes, sir,” Ryker said, biting his lip to keep from laughing.

After parking the truck, Ryker wrapped his arm around Lilly and walked her toward the door with Ranger following a few steps behind.

“We decided as far as the public goes, you’re my date tonight,” Ryker whispered in her ear. “Poor Ranger drew the short straw.”

Lilly turned to look back at Ranger. “Well I guess we’ll just have to make it up to him later.” She turned back around giggling at Ranger’s sultry growl.
Boy, was she glad she took her vitamins today.

The hostess took them to a booth, and Ryker scooted in next to Lilly with Ranger sitting across from her. Picking up her menu, Lilly eyed the choices, finally deciding on the pot roast. When she set the menu down she noticed both men watching her. “What?”

Ryker wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her in for a kiss. “Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?”

“Stop,” she swatted him on the arm. “You’ll either get me too embarrassed to eat or too horny, and I’m starving.”
