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.”
    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 back 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 talked to Mom today about us.”
    Ranger’s eye brows shot up, “Really? What did she say?”
    Giving away only part of their conversation, 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 almost shouted.
    “It’s what I
