They could hear the yelling from outside the barn door. It interrupted the moment and she felt both relieved and disappointed.
Charlie called out to them.
“Lori’s fine. She’s in here!” He was out of breath still.
“Thank God! Listen, I’m going with the sheriff. He said his men found some tire tracks down the road a ways. Is everything all right in there?” Jasper asked.
“Everything’s fine!” Charlie said as he stared into Lori’s eyes.
She swallowed hard.
“You scared the hell out of us, do you know that?” he asked her as he squeezed her hips and Dante caressed a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Trevor gently squeezed her wrist. She suddenly felt bad for something that seemed not to be her fault. She didn’t give it a second thought as Charlie released her. So did his brothers as they stepped back.
She rubbed her wrist and then licked her lower lip. The three men watched her. As she looked down at her torn cast, she quickly put it behind her back.
“What are you doing out here?” Dante asked in a deep voice that made her jump as he picked up the flashlight he’d dropped and looked at the table.
“You’re not doing what I think you’re doing, are you?” Trevor started laughing and Lori was once again annoyed at them.
“I’m fine. Why don’t you go tell everyone.” She tried to act unaffected and tough but he didn’t fall for it.
“I don’t think so, kid. You’re coming with me and that cast of yours is staying on until Monday, you got it!” Charlie told her as he grabbed her hand with the cast and her flashlight pulling her toward the door.
“Excuse me, but what do you think you’re doing?” she demanded as she pulled her hand away, placing her hands on her hips.
Instantly Trevor wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and used his free hand to push her braid away from her neck then whispered. “You better listen to Charlie, baby. He’s letting you off easy.”
She didn’t dare turn to glare at Trevor. His mouth was against the skin on her neck. And the way he called her baby and the meaning behind his words aroused her.
“Letting me off easy? What the hell?” she began to say when Dante stood in front of her. He stared at her breasts and they came alive again. The nipples hardened to tiny buds and once again her pussy leaked with arousal.
Dante cupped her chin.
“He let you off easy. The next time you place yourself in danger, he’ll throw you over his knee and we’ll each spank that ass of yours. Got it?” Dante said.
“Oh God.” She practically moaned then closed her eyes and leaned back against Trevor. Trevor chuckled, and his warm breath tickled her ear.
“Lori?”
They heard her father’s voice and Trevor released her but not before he gave her ass a small spank.
She jumped as her father entered the barn.
“Is everything all right in here?” Lou asked as he entered.
“Everything is fine, Lou. Your daughter was trying to remove her cast with a handsaw,” Charlie said, laughing at the thought.
“Lori! You only have three more days until Dr. Henley removes it. We were worried about you. Did the men tell you what happened at their parents’ place?”
“No, they didn’t get around to that, Dad.” She headed toward the door.
Charlie stopped her by grabbing her cast. He looked at the torn material.
“My brother’s not going to be happy when he sees this, kid.”
“He’ll get over it.” She snapped back at him, and then tossed her braided hair back over her shoulder hitting him with it before she exited the barn.
