different way of loving. She blushed looking at her naked body. She yanked her gown back on. Her mother’s words were too clear in her mind.
    Why did she have to meet these two men right now? Her feelings for them and her desire to be totally independent warred within her. Whatever happened she couldn’t let them talk her into losing her hard-won autonomy.

    Bern’s body had relaxed in a way it hadn’t in years. He drove through the dark night remembering the feel of Bliss’s soft skin, her sweet scent, and her delicious flavor. When he’d slid into her hot pussy, his body had been inflamed with heat and a passion he’d longed to quench for years.
    For a while she’d changed so much that he’d feared scaring her with his advances. He hadn’t mentioned her to Lann. There wasn’t any point unless Lann moved to Saddlespurs.
    They liked the idea of a threesome relationship for many reasons. For one, if he or Lann went on assignment, then the other one would be at home watching over the ranches, and more importantly, the family.
    He turned into his drive. He’d sleep well tonight. Sometimes the nightmare of his last mission with the Rangers haunted him until the early hours, but making love to Bliss had pushed any negative thoughts far off.
    His phone rang as he got in. “Hello.”
    “Hope I didn’t wake you,” Lann said.
    “I just got in the door and was heading to my bedroom.”
    “What did you think about tonight?”
    “She’s wonderful. I want to marry her.”
    “If she’ll let us. She may have been receptive to our attention tonight, but she’s going to take a lot of convincing.”
    “We’ll work on her.”
    “She suspects I’m different. If we get to the marrying stage, I’ll have to take her to Wyoming. She can meet the family, and learn our true history. Not the one I made up.”
    “We haven’t told her about what our other business is either.”
    “Do you think either information will make her pull away?” Lann asked.
    “Not if she loves us. She may get pissed, but we can get her over that.”
    “Talk to you tomorrow.” Lann clicked his phone off.
    Bern started stripping at the door and fell into his bed naked. He went to sleep dreaming of hair as black as night caressing his skin, and iris eyes smiling at him.

Chapter Eight
     
    Lann drove to Alan Meades’s ranch early the next morning. At his knock, Alan came to the screen door.
    He had dressed in old jeans and a white T-shirt that looked more gray than white. He walked to the table and sat.
    “Come on in. If you want coffee, pour it yourself.”
    “Don’t mind if I do.” Lann found a cup in the cupboard and filled it with the strong, black liquid. He settled in a chair across from Alan. “I thought it might be time to renegotiate my buying your ranch.”
    “What’s your offer?” Alan raise his chin in a belligerent manner. “I’m not giving it away.”
    “You just about did to the bank.”
    “If Bliss had loaned me her money, I wouldn’t have had to borrow from the bank.”
    “Yes, you would have, and her money would be gone, too. What kind of man are you to do that to your sister?”
    Alan blushed at Lann’s words. “Tell me your deal.”
    “I’ll pay off your bank loans and give you what I originally offered with one condition.”
    “I don’t like conditions.”
    “Tough. Mine is I’ll write two checks, both evenly divided. One will be for you, and one for your sister. That’s the only fair way, and you know it.”
    “The will says…”
    Lann leaned over the table at him. “Fuck the will. Take my offer, or live here until the bank takes the ranch and makes you move out with nothing. I can buy it a lot cheaper then.”
    “You’re doing this because you want to play around with Bliss, and then you’ll dump her. She’ll get what she deserves.”
    “You haven’t learned a thing from the last few days.” Lann grabbed him by the collar and glared at him, then let him go. He walked to the
