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. Magic and I will graze the lawn.”
He narrowed his eyes at Ryker. “Keep Magic away from my grass.” He’d worked for years to try and get a nice lawn to grown in the thick shade of trees that surrounded their house, and Ryker knew damn well he didn’t want Magic 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 shorts 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 supplies in his shirt pocket, he went to the kitchen and 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 Magic’s back. He cleared his throat, breaking the two of them
