~ Dedication ~

To everyone who has ever gone tubin',
fishing, camping, hiking, hunting with me. We've had a heckuva good
time, and I have a cooler full of memories to last a lifetime.

Chapter One

The mosquito landed on her leg. Pauline
Sergoni froze, her hand suspended in the air. This time she’d kill
the thing once and for all.

Slap
.

“Ah ha! Gotcha.” She brushed the remains off
her skin and dipped her hands into the water. “Jolene sure is one
lucky gal to have all this at her disposal. I think I’d really
enjoy bringing my horses out here to ride along the river.” She
stood up and flipped back her mahogany locks, the ends already wet
and sticking to her bare stomach. “I probably should have tied my
hair back.”

Bryce stood a few feet away from her,
keeping two inner tubes from floating downstream. “We figured you’d
like it out here.” The sound of someone running across rocks
reached them. He peered past her shoulder. “About time you got
here. I was ready to steal Pauline away for the day by myself if
you didn’t get your ass down here soon.”

Taylor laughed and swooped Pauline up in his
arms. “No way. I’ve looked forward to this weekend all week. I
thought my case would go on forever. I’m more than ready for a day
of fun.” He nuzzled her neck. “I’m going through withdrawals, brown
eyes.” He gave her a loud smack on the lips. “I’ve had to resort to
jacking off every night thinking about sinking my cock in your
pussy. I’ve missed you.”

She giggled, running her hand through his
short blonde curls. “Mmm, me too. I definitely missed seeing you do
that.” She grabbed his hand, stopped, and gazed up at Bryce. “Uh
oh. You only brought two tubes?”

Taylor wrapped his buffed arms around her
waist, pulling her tight against his hard, sculptured body. “Bryce
has had you for the whole week by himself while I was working, so I
get you today. We can double up.” He shifted his hips forward and
pressed the proof of how serious he was against her. “If you’re
nice to me, I might let Taylor join in the fun…that’s if he can
keep up with us.”

“Fuck, yeah.” Bryce threw the floating
device toward them. “How did the case go? Did you close it?”

“Yep.” Taylor grinned. “I’m off for two
weeks, same as you now. Next time, we go out together.”

“Good.” Bryce jumped up on the tube and
shook his short brown hair free of water. “That’s the way it should
be.”

Pauline wiped her face from the splash of
water. Lowering her hands, she grinned. “Let’s not waste time
standing around jawin’. I can only stay for two days. Unlike you
two luckies, I have to go back to work on Monday. Shalazam’s new
owner is coming to the stables with a couple investors. It’s
important that I be there. If I don’t sign the papers, I’ll lose
the money I’m counting on to keep the stables open.”

“That doesn’t make sense. Shalazam is your
horse.” Taylor pushed the side of the inner tube down in the water
and jumped on. He held out his hands.

Pauline turned around and let him lift her
onto his lap. She leaned back. “For how much I’ve depended on that
horse making me money through the years, I was young and foolish
ever signing a contract with a deadline clause in it. Live and
learn, I guess.” She kicked her feet and splashed Bryce. “Enough
talk, guys. Let’s go. I want to see what you both have planned for
me today.”

Pauline found it hard to believe that on a
day like this, with the sun shining, with hardly a breeze in the
air, the nights turned so cold you needed jackets to stay warm once
the sun went down. The guys explained that the higher elevation
played games with the nighttime temperatures. She hadn’t believed
Tony and Donovan, the other agents on Bryce and Taylor’s team, this
morning when she walked outside of the cabin and they told her it
was going to be a scorcher.

Relaxing on the river with not a worry on
her shoulders was the very best way to spend the day. She envied
the life Tony and Jolene had up here all alone. She sighed and let
her head fall back on Taylor’s shoulder. It wasn’t that she didn’t
love the ranch and horses. She did, but she’d be glad when the last
sale would allow her to break away from her uncle’s control. When
that was finished, Jack Sergoni would be out of her life for
good.

Taylor’s hands got busy exploring her body.
She leaned back enjoying the way his caresses made her smile. “You
keep that up, and I’ll figure out some way to have sex with you on
the inner tube, Taylor.” She squirmed on top of Taylor as he
pinched her nipples.

His hand slid down her bare midriff, over
the top of her Levi's cutoffs, and settled between her legs. “Think
you can lose the shorts, brown eyes?”

Her creative mind pushed right into how it
would feel to make love on the water floating down the river out in
the open. She smiled. “What if we fall off?”

Taylor chuckled. “Then we go swimming.”

Loving the idea, she undid the button and
zipper, lifted her ass up, and wiggled out of her shorts and
panties. “Where do I put them? I don’t want to lose them in the
water.”

“Hang on.” Taylor used his feet and arms to
paddle the inner tube closer to the middle of the river where Bryce
was floating with his head back, eyes closed, oblivious to the
world. “Hey, wake up!”

Bryce lowered his chin and glared.

“Catch.” Taylor wadded up the denim and
threw the shorts over the water.

Bryce caught the package one-handed. “What’s
this for?” He gazed at Pauline. “Shit. You lucky dawg.”

“Don’t you know it, partner.” Taylor held
Pauline’s waist.

Turning around on the inner tube while
wobbling side to side on the water wasn’t an easy thing to
accomplish. Every time she lifted her foot to change position, the
inner tube dipped, threatening to spill them both to the churning
water. She lifted her gaze and motioned with her head. “You could
help Bryce.” Laughing, she wiggled her ass at him. “I’d pay you
back later.”

“Fuck, Pauline.” He brought his hands out of
the water. “I vote we bank it right now and you can shake that
thang all you want…all over me.”

“Hell, no. I want to have her on the water
first. We both can have her later when we stop.” Taylor grabbed her
ankle and lifted her foot to the other side of him. “Tony’s picking
us up at the ranger station. We’ll have plenty of time to ourselves
before he shows up.”

Pauline faced Taylor. Straddling his body,
she gazed down at him while holding on to his shoulders. “Your
turn, Taylor.”

“Whoa…” She squatted down to keep her
balance, giggling at the look on Bryce’s face when Taylor’s shorts
slapped him in the chest. The love she had for the both of them
warmed her heart. It was never boring with them both around. The
playful friendship between the guys endeared them to her. The
camaraderie went past best friends; they relied on each other at
work to stay alive.

She blew a kiss to Bryce. “I love you.”

“I know that.” He cocked an eyebrow. “You
two will owe me big time, though.” He unzipped his fly. “Although,
I’m not going to let you have all the fun. I’m watching.” His
fingers slipped inside his shorts and brought out a stiff cock.
“Make it good, you two.”

Taylor laughed. “You know it.” He fisted his
own hardness. “Come on down and sink your juicy pussy down on
me.”

She licked her lips. Taylor was a sun god.
All blond curls, tanned skin, and an adventurous spirit wrapped up
in a package that meant business. He brought so much laughter into
her life. She purred. Transferring her weight to her arms, she
braced herself on the inner tube and lowered herself down. A half
moan, half sigh, slipped out of her mouth as the heat of his cock
slid inside her, stretching, filling her body. “Oh, God…”

She remained still, luxuriating in having
their bodies connected. The motion of the water provided enough
movement that her pussy squeezed him each time a spasm came from
her core. She turned her head. Bryce lay back against the inner
tube, cock in hand, leisurely stroking his dick from balls to tip.
His eyelids lowered halfway in that sexy way he always had when his
body was turned on.

Taylor used his thumbs and spread her pussy
lips, leaned back further, and licked his lips. “Look at that.” He
groaned. “If we were on land, I’d eat all that sweetness before
pounding my cock in that wet, pretty hole of yours.” Running his
thumb up to her clit, he stroked the tiny nub. “Even your clit is
swollen and hard just begging me to play with it.” He caressed the
sensitive nerves. “Do you like the way that feels, brown eyes?”

“Yes!” Pauline grabbed her breasts and
squeezed. The stimulation warmed her core. She wanted him to touch
her everywhere. The water pitched her forward, and Taylor steadied
her. The new pressure on her clit changed for the better. She
rocked her hips back and forth. The fire building in her core
grew.

“Suck your nipple for me, Pauline.” Taylor
continued to rub her all over, feeling around where his cock
disappeared inside her cunt. “I’m afraid if I lean toward you, I’ll
tip us over. Show me what I’m missing.”
