Stanton and I exchange an easy smile, enjoying her unexpected naiveté when it comes to sex.
“I guess you’ll have to find out,” I tease her gently.
Juniper’s brown eyes go wide.
“What does that mean?” she asks slowly.
I shrug.
“Whatever you’d like to mean,” is my smooth reply. “It can be everything and anything you want, or it can be nothing. We can just go about our lives as usual, if that’s what you prefer.”
The curvy girl frowns.
“I’m not sure what you’re saying. You’re going around in circles, and I’m totally confused. Please help me understand.”
Her plea is fetching, and unable to resist, I reach to push an errant strand of hair behind her ear. “We’re happy to go at your pace, honey, and to give you everything we have to offer,” I say softly, leaning toward her. “Both my brother and I are at your command.”
Juniper tilts her head up, her eyes suddenly glossy and hooded as desire registers in their depths. Growling, I touch my lips to hers gently at first and then with more passion. She sighs, completely still at first, but then absolutely melts beneath my touch, her entire body arching toward me. I pull her to her feet and stroke her curls, taking her mouth more deeply with mine, promising that there will be more to come.
After a moment, I release her, both of us panting hard with lust-filled need. But Juniper only has a moment to catch her breath because my brother steps in then. Like an animal, Stanton scoops Juniper into a tight embrace and groans against her eager mouth. She presses her full, lush body against his hard frame, unable to control her own yearning.
But then he releases her abruptly.
“We’ll have plenty of time to get to know each other in the future,” he rasps, those blue eyes gleaming. “But not now, sweetheart. This isn’t the right place or time.”
Juniper’s breath is ragged, her entire body quivering with longing. “Do you promise?” she breathes, those big boobies rising and falling.
Ah, this is the little girl that we met at Skye One. She wants it, and the blood rushes to my groin, making me harden in the small confines of the office. But I have to control myself.
“Of course we promise,” I say in a smooth voice, taking her elbow. “Now, I’ll see you out, honey. But we’ll be in touch soon.”
With that, Juniper throws us one last secret smile, and then disappears down the hall. After the door closes, my twin and I turn to each other. Holy fuck. She was only here all of ten minutes, and yet now, both Stanton and I are ready to go.
“Holy crap, what do we do?” he asks.
“What we always do,” I rasp in reply. “We enjoy our time with her.”
“Yeah, but what if this gets out of control?”
I shoot him a sideways look.
“It’s already out of control. That’s why we’re so screwed.”
But it’s a good kind of screwed, and I know that neither my brother nor I have any intention of turning back. After all, Fate has delivered Juniper Rossi to the Lazy R, and we’re men who make the most of our opportunities. We’ll have to be careful, yes, but that will only make our clandestine affair all the more exciting.

Juniper
It’s my second day at the Lazy R Ranch, and I toss and turn on my cot. It’s not that the mattress is uncomfortable, but rather that I can’t get thoughts of Shane and Stanton Regan out of my head. Sleep eluded me for most of the night, and my eyes feel gritty and dry.
I glance out the window at the early dawn sky. Various shades of pinks and blues filter in through my window, and I wonder what time it is. We were told at dinner that wake-up times were fairly strict during the week, and breakfast is served at seven o’clock sharp. If you miss it, then you’ll be hungry until lunch.
I groan and turn over in my bed, waiting for the rooster to crow or someone to ring a gong or however else they wake us up around here. I wish I’d slept better through the night, but I kept replaying my conversation with the Regan brothers in my mind instead. I believe them when they had said they didn’t know who I had been at the bar the other night, and I believe that they’re interested in me.
Oh good, I smile in the purple-hued darkness. Because I’m definitely interested in them.
Part of me realizes that it’s absolutely insanity to pursue the two men who are also my superiors – the scandal of it all! – but a larger part of me is incredibly curious and aroused to see where things might go.
I let my hands roam down my body as I think about how it felt to kiss the brothers again last night. Shane and Stanton were huge, forbidding, and all male. My knees went weak upon entering the office and my lady parts immediately swelled and moistened. Now, I’m just as aroused and my finger graze the hem of my shorts, skimming along the flesh there. But too late. The blaring sound of a morning bugle disrupts my naughty thoughts.
