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 and continued. “And we’re honoured that you saved yourself for us. As a matter of fact, 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. 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 smell 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 which 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 look 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 turned his head slightly and tried to kiss her while keeping his eyes on the road. Ryker smiled when Ranger released a soft moan as they broke the kiss. Knowing Ranger was just as nervous as Lilly was somehow 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, 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 as Ranger fidgeted 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
