Twin Temptations (7 page)

“She is,” Ranger agreed. He brushed the hair away from her face. “You think it’s going to work?” Ranger asked, lips barely touching Ryker’s.

“Yeah, I really do.” Ryker opened his mouth and kissed Ranger. After several minutes they broke apart and settled in for the night, Ranger’s head resting on Ryker’s chest next to Lilly’s beautiful face.

Chapter Eight

Waking up before dawn, surrounded by the people he loved put an immediate smile on Ryker’s face. He could feel Lilly’s soft curves against his morning erection as well as Ranger’s half-hard cock tucked against the cheeks of his ass. “Life just doesn’t get any better,” he whispered to the morning sunrise.

The need to explore was strong, but his conscience kept telling him to wait, Lilly deserved more than a quick, before-work, kind of loving. It would be her first time, and Ryker wanted it to be memorable for all of them. Still, a little groping couldn’t hurt, as long as they didn’t do too much.

Working his way up from her stomach, Ryker brushed his palms across her warm breasts, happy when they immediately pebbled for him. His fingertips explored the raised bumps and ridges surrounding her tight buds as he kissed her bare shoulder.

Lilly arched her back, pushing her sweet ass against his aching cock. “Morning,” she said, reaching behind her to hold on to his hip as she continued to grind herself against him.

He felt Ranger’s cock stiffen the second his eyes opened. “Having fun without me?” Ranger asked in his rough morning voice.

“Just starting,” Ryker said. He reached back and pulled Ranger closer.

“What about my morning hand job?” Ranger chuckled.

“You’ll have to make do rubbing against me this morning because I’ve got my hands full at the moment.” Ryker looked over his shoulder and kissed Ranger.

Ranger looked at Ryker before glancing toward Lilly. Ryker could tell what he was worried about, but they all needed to get used to each other. Nibbling on Lilly’s neck, he whispered in her ear. “You don’t mind if Ranger rubs off on me this morning do you?”

Lilly took his hand off her breast and drew it down to her pussy. “Not as long as you take care of me, too.”

“Hot damn, pass me some lube, brother.”

“Uh…I thought we agreed…” Ranger stammered.

“Right, I need to talk to Lilly about that.” Ryker kissed Lilly’s shoulder again. “Sweetheart, Ranger and I think it would be better to wait a little longer to make love to you. Lord knows it’s not because we don’t want to, but you deserve something special. And we aim to give it to you.”

Lilly turned her head and kissed him.

“That said, I thought we could do a little playing this morning before Ranger and I have to get you home.”

“I like to play, but just so you know, any time would be special to me as long as it was with one of you.” Lilly turned in his arms to face him.

“You do say the sweetest things,” Ryker grinned. With his hand to the back of her head, Ryker pulled her in and licked her lips. When she opened, he delved in deep, tasting her passion just bursting to be set free.

The ringing phone and a nudge from Ranger finally broke them apart. “What?” Ryker asked looking over his shoulder.

“There’s a call for Lilly. Its Rawley,” Ranger said, passing the phone to her.

Ryker looked at Ranger and he shrugged. “He wouldn’t tell me anything. Only that he couldn’t find Lilly so he called Debbie, and she told him to phone here.”

Turning his attention back to Lilly he listened to her side of the conversation as Ranger’s hand wrapped around his cock. He thrust his hips back against Ranger’s erection as he tried to concentrate on what Lilly was saying to Rawley.

“Okay, yeah, I’ll have the guys drop me by the station. Thanks for calling, Sheriff.” Lilly disconnected and handed the phone back to Ranger. “My landlord called the police this morning. She went out to get her paper and saw my car had been vandalised. Rawley wants me to come by the Sheriff’s office and file a report.” She bit her lip, “I know you guys need to get to work, but could you wait after you drop me off so I can make sure my car will run?”

Ranger released Ryker’s cock and crawled over the top of both of them to sandwich Lilly in between their warm bodies. “Of course we will. If you want, you can borrow one of our trucks until you get your car fixed.”

“Thanks, but depending on the damage, it’s probably not worth fixing. My poor baby was on her last leg anyway.”

“We’ll figure it out. The most important thing is to find out who would do something like that. Did Rawley say if he suspects kids or a different type of threat?”

“He didn’t say. It’s only me and Mrs. Clemens, and she doesn’t even hear her own phone half the time. Rawley doesn’t even know when it was vandalised, could’ve been any time after you two picked me up yesterday evening.”

Brushing the hair off her face, Ryker kissed her. “I don’t like the thought of you there alone if someone’s trying to start trouble.”

“It’s probably just kids. I’ll be fine, besides I can’t leave Mrs. Clemens there to deal with it, she’s darn near eighty.”

“As much as I’d like to stay right where we are, we need to get going. Ryker, why don’t you go hop into the shower while Lilly and I make breakfast?”

Sticking his bottom lip out, Ryker sat up. “You’ve always been a party pooper.”

“No, I’ve always been the one who gets your ass to work on time,” Ranger grinned, swatting Ryker’s ass as he walked by on the way to the bathroom.

As soon as Ryker shut the door, Ranger looked back at Lilly. “Do you think it could have anything to do with your failed date with Jeff the other night?”

Sitting up, Lilly swung her legs over the side of the bed. “I can’t see Jeff doing something like that. He was a real jerk Saturday night at work, but I’ve never heard of him having a violent streak.” Lilly looked toward the bathroom.

“Maybe you should come back and stay the night tonight after you get off work.” Ranger slipped on his jeans and watched as Lilly put on her clothes.
Damn she sure was a beauty.

She seemed to be thinking about his invitation as she slipped her skirt on. Lilly paused and slapped her forehead. “Oh, no, I can’t. Dang you two have completely fried my brain for anything but the two of you. I forgot tonight’s Bunco night at Jeanette’s house, and I promised mom I’d go. I even scheduled an evening off.”

“How long does it usually last? You can always come by after.” Ranger hated to beg, but he really didn’t like the sound of someone destroying her car. He tried not to make a fuss, not wanting to worry either of them, but he planned on making a phone call to Rawley later.

Lilly was back to biting her lip as she slipped the shirt over her head. He sighed as her perfect breasts were once again covered. She seemed to know what he was thinking and gave him a wink. “Later,” she teased.

Hearing the water shut off, Ranger grabbed her hand and led her to the kitchen. “Quick, let’s get breakfast going. Do you need a shower?”

Lilly shook her head and retrieved a carton of eggs from the fridge. “I’ll just put my hair in a ponytail until I get back from filing the report.” Pulling down a bowl, she began cracking eggs. “I hope you both like scrambled. Sorry to say, I’m not much of a cook.”

Ranger hugged her from behind, “Scrambled’s my favourite.” He ran his tongue around the shell of her ear as he slipped his hands under the thin tank top and up to cover her breasts. Lilly rested her head back on his shoulder as she arched into his touch.

“Oh, now I know why you wanted me to shower first, you pig,” Ryker said, still drying his hair with a towel.

“I couldn’t help myself,” Ranger said, squeezing her nipples.

He felt the snap of the towel on his ass and turned his head toward Ryker. “You’re asking for it, Bub.”

Ryker smiled and pressed against Ranger’s back. “Yeah? What am I asking for?” Ryker used the position to stretch his arms out around Ranger and onto Lilly’s breasts.

With two sets of hands on her, Lilly moaned. “Well unless you both stop, it sure ain’t breakfast.”

Ranger and Ryker both laughed and released their hold on her. “Okay, I’ll get in the shower,” Ranger said, placing one more kiss on Lilly’s neck. He turned toward Ryker and kissed him. “You be good and let the woman feed us before we’re late for work.”

“Yes, sir, boss.” Ryker saluted.

Pulling up in front of her tiny apartment over Mrs. Clemens garage, Lilly gasped. “Oh, no.” As soon as she saw the busted out windows, she was glad Ryker had insisted she borrow one of their trucks. They’d still followed her home, but at least now she had a way to get to the Sheriff’s station. She felt Ryker’s arm wrap around her waist as Ranger parked and got out of his truck.

“Holy shit,” Ranger said, as he walked toward her destroyed Toyota. He narrowed his eyes and looked around the street and yard. “This wasn’t done by kids.” He looked right at her. They both knew who’d done it.

“Excuse me, but is there something you all want to let me in on?” Ryker asked.

Lilly looked up at Ranger, who closed his eyes and nodded. She turned back to Ryker. “It’s just a guess, but Jeff wasn’t very happy with me the other night. When we got into his truck, he immediately started putting his hand up my skirt and I kinda freaked out. I apologised and told him I couldn’t go through with it. Needless to say, Jeff’s not used to being shut down. I don’t know how we’d prove it though.”

“I’ll kill him,” Ryker said, jaw tensing.

“No, you won’t, Bub. It’s Rawley’s job, let him do it.” Ranger put a hand on Ryker’s shoulder. “Our job is to protect Lilly, not play cops.”

Lilly looked at her battered car again. Every window was either cracked or busted along with her tail lights and headlights. She decided to take Ranger up on his offer for a place to stay. “I’ll talk to Mrs. Clemens and tell her I’ll be gone for a few days until they find out who did this. I’d like to try and convince her to go stay with her sister in Lincoln. If she agrees, I’ll probably drive her up this afternoon, if it’s okay that I use your truck?”

Ryker hugged her. “You can use anything of mine you want,” he gave her a grin and a wink. “Just make sure when you come back to pack, you have one of us or Rawley with you.”

“Will do,” she said standing on her tiptoes to give him a quick kiss. “And I’ll be by after Bunco tonight.”

With one last look at Lilly’s car, Ryker shook his head. “Let’s get out of here.”

Chapter Eight

By mid-morning, Ryker was back in the office. He looked at the clock and picked up the phone. Surely Lilly had had time to fill out her police report by now. Dialling Rawley’s number he waited. When he got a recording he hung up and tried his cell phone.

“Sheriff Good,” Rawley answered.

“Hey, did Lilly come by?” Ryker leaned back in his chair and put his muddy boots on the edge of the desk.

“Yeah, I’m over at her place right now. She’s upstairs getting some things together while I take some fingerprints off the car.” Rawley paused, “Lilly’s staying with you for a couple of days I take it?”

He could almost hear the censure in his big brother’s voice. “Yes, something wrong with that?”
