“I’m making an exception because I trust these two men, and I’ve been told you’re engaged to Lang Connor. I’ve always considered him an intelligent man. After hearing this I’m not so sure of his judgment. We’ll see. Bail is set at fifty thousand dollars.” The gravel came down. He nodded and left the room.
Cassie had tried to hide her surprise at Judge Ricter’s statement. “We’re engaged?”
“As of now.” Lang pulled a ring from his pocket. “I’ve had this in a drawer at home for a long time.” He took her left hand and slipped the diamond ring on her finger. “It’s from both of us, but in town we always have one designated husband.”
“So I’ve noticed.” Cassie studied the large, round, sparkling diamond surrounded by emeralds.
“The emeralds reminded us of your eyes,” Nick added. “Do you like it?”
“I do.” Cassie whispered the words and blinked away her tears. Lang put his arm around her waist. “Let’s go home and leave the past behind. This is a new start.”
“My new start may include jail,” Cassie reminded him.
“Not a chance with Quinlain and us on your side.” Nick opened the door and led the way to the truck.
They put her in the middle. As he drove, Lang felt her hip up against his. Her fragrance filled the cab. Desire built into a roaring fire in his body by the time they drove into their drive at the cabin. He glanced across at Nick and knew he was feeling the same.
Lang slid out and pulled Cassie into his arms. “Would you mind if we go right to my bedroom and celebrate our engagement?”
He held his breath waiting for her answer.
“I’m glad you asked. That way I don’t have to figure out how to get the two of you in bed.”
“I’ll take that for a yes.” Taking long strides, Lang, carrying Cassie, headed to the house. Nick opened the door and locked it behind them.
Not slowing down, Lang went to the left into a hallway and down to the end into a huge bedroom. He let Cassie slide down his body until her feet touched the plush gray carpet. He and Nick watched her expressions.
She walked around the open space. “Rae did the decorating for you,” she said to Lang. He nodded. “The carpet color is a perfect match for your eyes, and the whole ambiance fits your calm personality. She’s very talented.”
“I’m glad you like my bedroom, but I had other ideas for bringing you in here.” His gray eyes glinted with hunger.
“Really?” Cassie trailed her fingers along the blue-and-gray bedspread. She pulled the covers back. “Did it include this enormous bed?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm, it does seem a bit warm.” She unfastened the first button on her shirt. After being in that awful jail, I need a shower.” She explored the room further and found the door to a dressing room, closets, and a bath. She turned on the shower and three sprays filled the large tiled area.
By now she had her shirt unbuttoned. It dropped to the floor. Turning, she faced them where they stood after following her in.
Lang’s patience was worn thread thin, but he wanted to let her go and play. He wanted her to forget the last few hours for a while. Heated blood raced through his veins. She’d better hurry, though, or he and Nick would have her undressed in a second.
Reaching back, she undid her bra and let it fall. Her luscious breasts were freed. Rosy nipples pointed in their direction. Lang’s gaze went along her rib cage to her tiny waist. She was unzipping her pants. In one swipe, she pushed her slacks and pants down and kicked off her low-heeled shoes and her clothes.
Raising her arms, she stretched. All Lang’s blood went straight to his cock. He heard Nick’s murmur behind him.
“Aren’t you two going to join me?” Cassie flashed her sexy smile and stepped under the water.
Lang and Nick were undressed and joined her in minutes.
She held the soap in her hand. “I need someone to clean my back.” Their groans brought a smile to her lips. Lang moved in front of her and Nick behind.
“We’d be glad to help.”
Chapter Ten
Lang soaped his hands and started at her neck to caress her skin. The combination of the warm water, the suds, and his hands made Cassie want to melt at his feet. Nick went behind her and lathered her back, massaging her shoulders and all along her backside. Lang’s hands slid down to her breasts. She moaned when he cupped them and rubbed his fingers across her nipples. Leaning toward her, he brushed his lips across her mouth.
A fire began to smolder in her abdomen and spread out. A blissful hum tingled through her body as they both rubbed her skin and massaged her muscles.
Nick reached around and ran his soapy finger over her nub and along her pussy lips. His hard body moved side to side against her sudsy posterior. Firm lips nuzzled her neck.
In front, Lang continued to move downward. His tongue flicked into her belly button, and then he knelt to massage and kiss her inner thighs. He’d spread her legs wide, and her pussy pulsed with hunger.
“I need one of those beautiful, hard cocks deep inside me.”
Lang pulled her to the side facing the tile wall. “Put your hands against the tile.” She did as he said. “Bend slightly at the waist.” The sound of the condom package being ripped open increased her hunger. Lang put his sheathed cock at her back and slid his cock along her pussy lips to the opening. He rubbed her clit while he slowly filled her.
Nick slipped up between her and the wall, high enough to rake his teeth across her pebbled nipple. With his hands, he caressed both breasts.
She shivered and clenched and unclenched her inner muscles around Lang’s cock. He plunged in one more time, deep, and pleasure jolted throughout her system. She screamed his name as tremors of ecstasy raked across her already-oversensitive nerves.
When Lang stepped back Nick kissed her and rubbed his finger across her clit. His hard cock pulsed against her abdomen. Almost immediately her body responded. Heat and desire swirled inside as the warm water cascaded along her and Nick’s bodies. He bent and drew her nipple into his mouth. She held on to his head as he lightly ran his teeth across the sensitive tip and his fingers worked their magic below.
Her body shook with the desire building deep in her core. She wrapped her arms around his neck as her hunger spiraled high again.
Nick pulled her legs up around his waist and plunged his sheathed cock into her aching pussy. Turning he put her back against the tile, and then ravished her mouth while his dick went in and out fast. Another orgasm hit her from her legs upward. She pushed down more on his cock to keep the feelings going on and on.
His cock pulsed against her tight walls. When he groaned at his climax, she was held tight in his arms.
They quickly rinsed off. Lang had already gotten out of the shower. Nick took a towel and dried Cassie. He carried her in to the bed and gently laid her on the sheets. He stretched out beside her. “This time, we’ll take it slow and easy.”
Lang came to the bed carrying a jar. “Have you heard about the cream our scientist created? It relaxes you and intensifies the sexual experience. Are you game to try it?” His smoky gray eyes tempted her.
“Sure.”
After putting some cream on his hands, he handed the jar to Nick. Lang rubbed the lotion on the front and Nick on the back. At first all she felt was a coolness, and her muscles began to totally relax. As they continued, her body warmed inside and out.
She would never have believed her passion could arise again so quickly. Deep in her body, heat and sparks of a wild, seductive yearning grew and flowed through her blood and up her spine. At least one set of hands was always touching her, caressing her, provoking her to feel more.
Nick ran his fingers across her eyebrows, along her cheekbones, on the outline of her ears. His mouth followed, tasting, nipping, tormenting her to higher heights.
Lang pleasured her breast. He spread the cream around and around in swirls. His teeth raked across the sensitized tip of her nipples. Her body shook with her desire and moisture seeped from her pussy. Their combined scents floated in the air, driving them on.
Cassie’s body bowed with the need for more, more of what they were doing. When Lang put his fingers inside her pussy, she screamed his name and clamped down on him. His tongue laved across her nub.
Her pussy’s inner walls quivered with desire. “Take me, please. I’m going to explode.”
A swell began at her feet moving upward. Lang looked at her drawn face and moved his cock into position then surged into her as the orgasmic wave hit her fully. She bucked under him. Nick quickly ran his hands across her breasts and suckled one nipple.
“More, more,” she hollered at them.
Nick straddled her, and she opened her mouth and took his cock in deep in her throat. She sucked on his dick and ran her teeth along the edge at the top of his cock.
The explosion hit them all. Cassie licked and sucked Nick’s salty essence as Lang held his cock tight against her womb. Nick rolled away as Cassie splintered into a thousand pieces.
Lang leaned against her for a moment, and then rolled on the opposite side from Nick. “Maybe we better not use that cream too often. It might kill us.”
Cassie and Nick chuckled between taking deep breaths of air. Nick rolled to face her. “Did that take your mind off your problems for a while?”
“What problems?” She smiled and curled into Lang’s shoulder. Nick rubbed her back as she sank into oblivion.
Lang gently moved her head onto the pillow. “I’m going to shower and call the sheriff.”
“I’ll stay here until you’re out of the shower. Then I’ll get ready and dress.” He glanced out the window at the shadows. “I’ll be glad when her lawyer gets here and we can talk.”
“Yep, me too.”

They were eating when Rae knocked on the door. “Can I come in?”
“Sure, Rae. You know you’re always welcome.” Lang held the door for her.
“Want something to eat?” Cassie asked. “Lang grilled some steaks.”
“No, thanks. I’ve eaten. I wanted to ask you about what happened today. I’m not being nosy. I thought some of us might be able to help.”
Nick told her what they knew. She listened intently.
“You think he set her up?”
“We all do,” Lang said, indicating all three of them.
“Cassie, you say none of the other women would come forth and admit he’d abused them?” Rae asked.
“I think they were just glad to be rid of him. He’s set me up good. It’ll be difficult to prove my innocence.”
“But not impossible. Cassie, our Priestess wants to meet you. She’s heard you may be a descendent of the third tribe and would like to ask you a few questions.”
“And this will help her case, how?” Nick asked.
“I’m not sure, but there must be a reason for her to request to see Cassie. You know she usually only gets involved if you ask her to,” Rae added.
“I want to meet her,” Cassie said.
“Then I can take you now. She said if you were agreeable, she’d be waiting.”
“I’ll run get my shoes and comb my hair,” Cassie said, hurrying out of the room.
Rae asked more questions about the charges Cassie was facing, and in a few minutes Cassie was back.
“I’m ready. Let’s go.”
“Rae, one of us wants to be with her at all times,” Nick said. “She can ride with you, but I’m going along. I’ll visit with the Priestess’s husband, Pruet. I haven’t seen him lately.”
