Lucy couldn’t help the big grin on her face as Natalie went a little big-eyed. “Yeah. I’m hoping Patrick and Beck get here soon, too.”
And I wish there was somewhere I could take them and screw them both blind after that hot, wicked display on the picnic table.
“Wow. Right on, girl,” Natalie replied as one of her other female friends in the group came over, obviously curious. “I’ll have to check out Seth’s tables in the Expo Center, too, I guess.” They both nodded, the implication that they wanted to see Lucy with her men was clear in their eyes.
Again. Surreal.
Ransome finally shook Dale’s hand and gave Natalie a hug and said, “Well, we better get these two gorgeous ladies back to the Expo Center before their men get worried.”
“Of course,” Dale said as he waved at Jayne and Lucy. “It was a pleasure meeting you, ladies. If any of you want to come back later we’ll be here partying all night.”
As they walked away, deep in her core, Lucy knew that if her men would tolerate it, she’d come back, but only to play with them. The thought of being naked and taken like that in public set her on fire but the reality was that they were just too new to each other for all three to be comfortable in a setting like that.
Maybe in years to come, she thought with a smile.
Thinking about her men had her yearning for them, both physically and emotionally. She couldn’t wait to see them, kiss them, feel them wrapped around her.
Jayne chuckled quietly as she walked with Lucy, with Ransome and Val flanking them.
“What?” Lucy asked.
Jayne replied, “Quite suddenly, looking around and seeing topless women strolling around doesn’t seem so shocking.”
Ransome smiled. “That happens. This is a place where all these people come together like a big family and they can be themselves. The groups watch out for each other and protect their own.”
“Lucy?” Val said.
“Yeah?”
“You’re not planning to go back to Dale’s group to get in the pool, right?”
“No. I don’t think Patrick and Beck would allow that.”
“I don’t think they would either.”
Ransome said, “Maybe one of these years, if there’s enough of us, we can rent a few spaces together, bring RVs and a pool and have a party spot like that.”
Lucy smiled. “It sounds like fun, but a lot of the ladies in our group are pretty territorial about their men, and vice versa.”
A wicked chuckle erupted from Val as the four of them walked back into the Expo Center. “Leaves more pussy for the single guys then, doesn’t it?”
Ransome reached over the women’s heads and shoved lightly at Val’s shoulder. “You make us sound like horny dogs.”
Val burst into laughter. “We aren’t?”
“Well, I’d rather the ladies didn’t see us that way. We’re supposed to be keeping them company and keeping them safe.”
Lucy laughed. “It’s okay. We’ve felt safe and we know that you have needs. Just not needs that we can help you with.”
Val groaned. “I think I just blushed,” he said with a chuckle as he took off his sunshades and hooked them in his shirtfront. They walked through the exhibition hall, looking at the wares available until Val softly growled, “Patrick and Beck are here.”
Joy filled Lucy and she looked diagonally across the space at Seth’s table. She resisted the urge to break into a run. “I don’t see them. The crowd is too thick.”
Ransome said, “Looks like they’re meeting us halfway.”
Just then, Beck and Patrick turned the corner onto the aisle they were walking on and Lucy’s breath caught in her throat.
Beck was dressed in a black wife-beater and his black riding leathers and boots. He’d teased her the night before, telling her that she’d have to wait to see him in them because he wasn’t modeling.
He moved like a panther, his arrogant swagger a complete turn-on. Patrick strode beside him, dressed in beat-to-hell faded jeans and a snug white T-shirt. Both of them looked good enough to eat…until she got a look at their faces.
“Crap.”
Ransome said, “They do not look happy. Matter of fact they look pissed as hell.”
She could see it in their eyes and the way they moved took on new meaning. Territorial men. Offended, territorial men.
“I want to apologize in advance for anything that’s about to happen, guys,” Lucy murmured but wisely made no protective gesture toward Ransome and Val. Both men grunted. They understood. They’d done their job and that was it. But her men weren’t seeing it that way.
Beck’s and Patrick’s eyes were practically searing her with their heat as their gazes traveled up and down her body. Lucy’s joy at seeing the men shriveled as she saw the anger in their eyes. Sensing trouble, rally-goers gave them a wide berth and several men positioned their women behind them so that they could shield them in the event of trouble.
