“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 known those brothers to do anything separately. You can’t have one without the other.”
“Yeah.”
“What happens in the future? 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 are 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 favor. 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 then 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 queue 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 glanced over her shoulder 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.”
Their waitress came over and took their orders, all of them deciding to start off with a glass of red wine. Lilly couldn’t help but notice the looks the waitress was aiming Ranger’s way. She felt a little of the green-eyed monster rise up and as soon as the perky blonde left, Lilly cleared her throat. “I’m not sure this is going to work.”
“What?” Ryker asked in a panicked voice.
Before he could get himself all worked up, Lilly lifted her hand to his cheek and kissed him. “Stop thinking what you’re thinking. That’s not what I meant. This, me pretending to date only you or Ranger in public, isn’t going to work for me.”
Calmer now, Ryker kissed her nose. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?”
Crossing her arms under her breasts, Lilly huffed. “I don’t like other women thinking one of you is eligible.” She pouted and glanced toward the waitress who was still ogling Ranger from across the room. “I was an only child, and I’m not used to sharing.”
Ranger grinned and leaned across the table. “Then give me a kiss, sweet thing.”
With a smile, Lilly leaned over and let Ranger tongue fuck her mouth. She felt Ryker’s hand inching up her skirt as he moaned. Breaking the kiss, she looked into Ranger’s eyes and then over at the waitress who was standing with her mouth open. “Much better.” Pleased, she sat down.
Settling back in his seat, Ranger smiled. “I would’ve never taken you for the territorial type.”
“Well get used to it,” she said. “Now, let’s eat our dinner and get out of here.” She felt Ryker’s hand slip under her skirt and turned toward him. “We’re getting enough looks without you trying to make me writhe and moan. As nice as your hand feels, maybe we should save it for dessert.”
Ryker grinned and removed his hand. “Wow, you’re tough.”
“One of us has to keep a level head or we’re likely to be thrown out. Since I love this place, I’d like to come back sometime.”
“Okay, we’ll be good and anytime you want to come back you just say so. It’s nice to get out of Summerville once in a while.”
Deciding it was better to talk now rather than later, Lilly took a sip of her wine. “I spoke to Mom today about us.”
Ranger’s eyebrows shot up in apparent surprise. “Really? What did she say?”
Giving only part of their conversation away, Lilly unwrapped her silverware and put her napkin on her lap. “She made me promise that we’d all go to the clinic and get checked out and that I’d get on the pill.”
Ryker grabbed Lilly’s hand. “The
clinic’s not a big deal, we can go this week, but I guess I’m a little surprised you aren’t already on the pill.”
Lilly felt her face heat and looked down at her lap. “I’ve been saving myself for the two of you.” Looking back up at Ranger she said, “When you told me you wanted me to live a little before you asked me out, I tried to get the courage to allow Jeff to take my virginity but I couldn’t go through with it.”
“What? You’d let that womanizer take something as special as that.” Ryker’s voice rose in anger.
“It’s what I thought the two of you wanted.”
“No, God, no. We only wanted you to have fun with your friends and stuff. We both knew once we began dating you it would be for keeps. The last thing we wanted was for you to feel like you’d missed out on a part of your life twenty years from now. That’s all, I promise.” Ranger took her hand before continuing, “and we’re honored that you saved yourself for us. Actually, Nate was teasing me a couple of months ago about the fact that there was no way you could be a virgin at twenty-one, and I wanted to kill him.”
“Wait a minute.” She narrowed her eyes and looked from Ryker to Ranger. “Why did you discuss my sex life with Nate?”
“Oh, I didn’t really. I think Nate said something about Rio not coming home from the bar and maybe he’d gone home with that pretty waitress.” Ranger shrugged. “The thought of you going home with Rio was enough to tear me up. Little did I know, Rio was trying to avoid Nate because he was sweet on him and didn’t want to cheat on Ryan.”
Lilly grinned. “So it bothered you huh?”
“Hell yeah it bothered me. Believe it or not, it’s been hard for me and Ryker to wait for you to get older.”
Ranger stopped talking while the waitress brought their food to the table. Lilly was pleased that the sly flirting had stopped but she grinned when the waitress winked at her. Yep, that girl knew a lucky woman when she saw one.
“Mmm,” she moaned at the look and aroma of her pot roast. Lilly looked up to see both men staring at her. “Sorry, smells good.”
“Let’s just hurry and eat so we can get out of here,” Ryker said, squeezing her leg.
Chapter Seven
The closer they got to the house, the more Ryker wanted to play. He stole brief kisses and rode with his arm stretched behind Lilly, buried in the depths of Ranger’s black curls. “Will you stay the night?” he finally asked Lilly.
“Yes,” she replied, giving him a kiss.
Ryker could tell she was nervous. Smoothing his palm down her cheek, he kissed her again. “We’ll take it slow. If nothing else it would be heaven just to hold you between us while we sleep.”
“We’ll see how things go. I’ve waited so long nothing seems real.” Lilly worried her lip, a nervous habit Ryker was becoming accustomed to.
He licked the poor offended lip and ran his hand up under her skirt to rest on her thigh. Ryker looked up and caught Ranger watching his every move. He couldn’t tell by the expression on Ranger’s face whether he was getting horny or something else. “Sweetheart, I think Ranger’s feeling left out.”
“Oh, we can’t have that,” Lilly said as she turned to kiss Ranger’s jaw. He tilted his chin down and tried to kiss her while keeping his eyes on the road. Ryker smiled when Ranger released a soft moan. Knowing Ranger was just as nervous as Lilly was very endearing.
With the mood in the truck shifting into playful, Ryker moved his hand higher under Lilly’s skirt as he began kissing her neck. He smiled against her soft skin as she shifted enough to let him know his actions were welcome. Running his fingers over the lace of her panties, he could already feel moisture soaking his fingers. “Mmm,” he moaned.
Ryker looked into her green eyes seeking permission to go even further. Her answer was to open completely for him by hooking one leg over Ranger’s thigh and one leg over his. Ryker rewarded her faith with a deep thrusting kiss as his fingers slipped under the leg of her panties to drag across her slit.
Lilly broke the kiss and tilted her head back as the first of his fingers worked its way inside the creamy depths of her pussy. “Oh God.”
He watched Ranger fidget in his seat as he tried to keep his eyes on the smooth blacktop. “Come on,” he said to Ranger, “you can drive one handed, I know you can.”
With a sideways glance, Ranger removed one hand from the wheel. As soon as Ryker felt Ranger’s fingers slide in beside his, he withdrew and sucked one digit into his mouth. “Holy fuck you taste good.” He held the other finger in front of Ranger’s mouth.
Ranger opened, seemingly eager for his first taste of Lilly. Ranger sucked his finger like he wanted to take the skin off. “Hey, I didn’t expect to draw back a stub,” Ryker joked.
“Sorry,” Ranger mumbled, releasing Ryker. Ranger looked down at the speedometer, “Ten more miles,” he said, pressing a little harder on the gas.
Whatever Ranger was doing with his hidden hand, seemed to be doing the trick for Lilly as she began to squirm in her seat, panting. Ranger looked over at Ryker. “Rub her clit.”
Unbuckling his seat belt, Ryker grinned. “I can do better than that.” He flipped Lilly’s skirt up as he buried his face against her partially exposed pussy. Running his tongue over the small triangle of closely cropped hair about her slit, he inhaled. “You smell good, sweetheart.”
Lilly answered by reaching down and trying to pull her panties off. Her actions were so frantic and mindless she wasn’t getting anywhere. “Off,” she cried.
Chuckling, Ryker slid her wet panties down her legs and off. He handed the garment to Ranger. “Smell.”
As Ranger inhaled the scent of Lilly’s desire, Ryker went back to her pussy. With his tongue poised at her channel, he thrust deeply into her core.
“Uhh.” Lilly stiffened and grabbed Ryker’s hair.
With his nose pressed against her clit, Ryker began torturing her pussy with his tongue, lapping every ounce of cream her body produced. When her grip tightened even more he slid his tongue up and covered her clit with his lips, sucking and biting down gently.
“Ryker,” she screamed as she came.
Moving back down, Ryker scooped cum from her body with his tongue as he unzipped his jeans. Taking his throbbing cock in hand, it only took two strokes for his own orgasm to overtake him.
“Fuck,” Ranger howled.
Ryker looked up in time to see Ranger’s cock empty its seed onto the steering wheel with Lilly’s hand wrapped firmly around it. The smell of sex was so strong inside the truck cab, Ryker’s cock continued to twitch in his fist.
By the time they pulled in front of the house, and Ranger put the truck into park, the three of them were exhausted. Ranger, resting his head against the back of the seat, turned to Ryker and Lilly. “Don’t ever do that again. I could have easily wrecked and killed us all.”
Ryker leaned across Lilly to give Ranger a kiss, sharing Lilly’s essence. “For that? I’ll take my chances.” He used the tails of his shirt to clean himself up before crawling back onto the seat and opening the door. “How about we take this inside?”
As Ranger tucked himself back in and fastened his jeans, Ryker got out of the truck. He turned toward Lilly and scooped her out of the seat.
“I can walk,” she whined.
“Yeah, but I’d rather carry you. Ranger’s too damn big for me to carry around or else I’d carry him too.”
Ranger had the door unlocked and opened by the time Ryker made it to the top of the steps. Walking straight to the bedroom he lowered Lilly to the side of the bed. “Would you like some wine while we recuperate?”
“That sounds good.” Lilly started to undress right before his eyes.
Instead of running off to get the wine, Ryker stared in awe. As the tight tank top lifted over her breasts, his mouth began to water. “So pretty,” he groaned, falling to his knees in front of her. Just before burying his face in her cleavage, he turned to Ranger. “Would you get us some wine, please?” he asked with a boyish grin.

Ranger rolled his eyes and walked off muttering under his breath. Lilly tossed the shirt to the floor, and Ryker captured both breasts in his hands. Bringing the generous mounds together he sucked on one nipple before moving to the next, happy when they pebbled immediately. He was sure her chest would probably be dotted with hickeys the next day, but he liked the thought of marking her.
A throat clearing behind him drew his attention. He released one of the generous nipples with a pop and looked behind him. Ranger was standing with a bottle of wine and three glasses. “Why don’t you give Lilly a break long enough to get undressed and have a glass of wine, Mr. Greedy.”
Ryker freed Lilly’s breast as she sighed. “Sorry,” he said feeling like a lecher. He walked to the bathroom and cleaned himself up from his earlier orgasm. Running a soft washcloth under the hot water, he carried it back to the bedside table, hoping they’d need it later.
Lilly was already under the covers, nestled in the center of the bed. She looked perfect there, Ryker thought. Although he did acknowledge it would be strange not to sleep next to Ranger. They’d slept spooned together since they were babies. In the past, they’d shared women, but none of them had been invited to spend the night, this would be the first.
As he undressed, he looked over at Ranger. Seeing the stunned look on Ranger’s face as he poured the wine, Ryker guessed he was thinking the same thing. Lilly must have noticed the sudden tension in the room. “Is something wrong?”
Tossing his clothes aside, Ryker got in bed and pulled Lilly into his arms. He decided to be honest with her. If this relationship would work honesty needed to come before shame. “Ranger and I have never been separated in sleep. It just hit us both, I think.”
“Well, that’s easily fixed,” she smiled and scooted over to the far side of the bed. “The two of you will just have to take turns sleeping in the middle.”
Ryker loved her more at that moment than he ever thought possible. She hadn’t questioned or made them feel ashamed. Lilly had simply come up with the perfect solution. Ryker pressed his lips to hers, “God, you’re perfect for us.”
