My Ranger Weekend (3 page)

As the song came to the end, I felt Flint take a large breath
before placing a soft kiss right below my ear lobe. He laid his hands on my
shoulders and looked like he was about to say something. His darkened gaze held
a hint of wonder and hunger as we stared at one another.
 
An emotion I could not identify floated across his eyes
before he shook it off.
 “
Beer?
”
he croaked as he took a
step back. I nodded, unable to speak at the moment, too affected by what I
thought I saw.

“
Hey,
”
Reggie interrupted,
“
bathroom?
”
I nodded but never took
my eyes off of Flint
’
s.
“
Go, I will get the beers and meet you back at the table,
”
he said as he turned away and strode to the bar with Romeo in
tow.

“
Wow,
”
Reggie said when the bathroom door closed.
“
Just wow!
”

“
Right?!
”
I exclaimed as I
walked over to the sink and turned on the cold water. I grabbed some paper towels
and wet them before pressing them to my cheeks, forehead.
“
You two looked pretty
happy,
”
I said making eye contact with Reggie in the mirror.

“
He is so flipping hot.
”
Reggie fanned herself as she blew out a big breath.
“
His body is so freaking
hard it was like touching warm, smooth granite. I think his arms are as big as
my head.
”

“
Just the right height
too,
”
I teased.

“
Oh shut up Miss
For-freaking-ever Legs,
”
she teased back.
“
Not everyone can be
five eight and pull off hooker heels.
”
She paused to reapply
lip stick.
“
What
I lack in vertical prowess I make up for in beauty and wits.
”
Reggie then winked at me before turning and walking into a
stall.

“
Touch
é
my friend,
”
I said as I walked into
a different stall.
“
Touch
é
.
”

When we were washing our hands, Reggie looked at me in the
mirror and said,
“
Are they coming home with us?
”
Still looking at her, I
shrugged because I really did not know. Half of me said yes and the other half
no.

“
Ryan you need this.
With everything that is going on with you right now. With your parents pressing
you about Garrett, law school, your course load, and the design contest.
”
She paused letting the words sink in.
“
You need a night, hell
a weekend of pure fun. And unattached sex with a Ranger would definitely help
in that. And who is hotter than that piece out there drooling all over you. But
it
’
s up to you. I will
follow your lead on this.
”

“
Thanks Reg,
”
I said as we hugged.
“
I do . . . kind-of want . . . to see where tonight leads.
”

“
Damn straight. You are
22 years old. A senior in college for goodness sake. Let loose and have some
fun already. This weekend could be epic.
”

“
Epic?
”

“
Yes. Some college kids
go on road trips or spring break. Us, we invite two hot ass Rangers back to my
parents
’
house for the weekend to let loose and have fun.
”

“
We
’
ll see,
”
was all I said because I still had not decided if I could
actually bring a guy home with me.
 

 
As we exited the
bathroom Reggie abruptly stopped causing me to run into the back of her.
“
Ouch,
”
she cried out as she bent down to rub her heel that I just
kicked with my boots. When she did I got the disturbing view that caused all
this trouble in the first place. Flint and Romeo were joined by two of the
bitchiest, card-carrying VIP members of sluts-r-us who were former high school
classmates of ours and none of us were ever friends. These two were notorious
for harassing Reggie. When she stood back up all of her early happiness had
fled her face and was replaced by disappointment. She shook her head as if to clear
her thoughts and put in place the mask she wore whenever those assholes were
around.

“
Let
’
s just go,
”
I offered, hoping she would take me up on it, but Reggie was
too stubborn to ever let them see how much they affected her.

“
No,
”
she said,
“
let
’
s just go to the bar.

Once we were at the bar I chanced a glance at Flint who was
tracking our every move. He cocked his head to the
side giving me a
questioning look. I shrugged my shoulders and stepped up to the bar with
Reggie.

“
What can I get you?
”
The bartender called over the music that was playing while
the band took a break.

“
Two shots of Wild
Turkey Honey and two Captain and Diet Cokes,
”
Reggie called back.

“
I guess we are
strapping one on tonight?
”
I questioned as I
turned to see a miserable looking Reggie staring straight ahead.

“
Mise well,
”
she retorted, pulling in a big breath and letting it out
slowly.
Somebody is pissed!

She said her last name as the bartender set down the two
shots. She handed me one as we turned to face each other.

“
To men and horses, and
the sluts that ride them,
”
Reggie said as we
tapped our shot glasses, then double tapped them on the bar before downing the
honey happy juice, as my mother liked to call it.

“
Woohoo,
”
I hollered as I exchanged the shot glass for the Captain and
Diet.
 
After a long sip I saw Reggie
look
behind me and fake
smile.

“
Well aren
’
t you ladies a sight
for sore eyes.
”
I turned to find two of the guys from the rowdy table next to
ours.

“
Same here solider,
”
Reggie said in a sugar sweet tone.
Yuck!
So this was
how she was going to play it. I looked in between the guys to see both Flint
and Romeo staring at our little group.

“
Wanna dance?
”
The one closest to me asked.

“
I
’
m okay for now,
”
I responded as I took a sip from my drink giving Reggie the
“
what the hell
”
look. She completely ignored me as she ran her hand down the
other guy
’
s
arm.

“
So . . .
”
she started but was cut off by a deep voice behind me that
asked,
“
Are you double fisting
now?
”
I knew who it was without looking. The hair on the back of my
neck stood up as his baritone voice traveled through me causing goose bumps to
erupt all over my body as I turned to face him.

“
Not exactly,
”
I corrected him as I held up my drink and gave him a wink.

“
Oh really,
”
he responded as he lifted up the two beers he was holding.

“
Actually, it looks like
you are,
”
I teased, earning me a panty-melting grin which melted mine
on the spot. He took a step closer as he lowered the beers.
“
Hey,
”
he whisper shouted over the music.

“
Hey Ranger,
”
I said as I stepped into him.

“
We were kind of
ambushed when we got back to the table.
”
The truth of his words
shone through his eyes.

“
No worries,
”
I mumbled as I shrugged to show it did not bother me.
Yeah
right.
I took a drink through the little red mixing straw. I heard Reggie
still talking to the other two guys.

“
God, I hate these
things,
”
complained Reggie, drawing our attention to her.
“
I need a big girl
straw.
”
And in true Reggie style she stood up on her tip toes as she
reached across the bar and grabbed two normal, clear, plastic straws. She put
one in hers and the other in mine.
“
Much better,
”
she said after taking a
large swallow. Reggie then looked up at us grinning like a kid in a candy shop.
We all burst out laughing at her antics.
“
Hilarious,
”
Flint laughed as he
draped an arm around my shoulder pulling me into his side and away from our
other company. Reggie gave me a wink and a smile. I knew my face mirrored hers
as the butterflies took full flight in my stomach leaving room for a want I
never felt before to take root.

The bar
’
s stereo system started with
“
DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAAAAA.
DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DE-DUM-DE-DE-DUM, DE-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAA-DAAAA! to
“
Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy
”
by Big and Rich.

“
How appropriate!
”
shouted Reggie and she set her drink down and grabbed my
hand.
“
Let
’
s dance.
”
I quickly handed Flint my drink as Reggie half dragged, half
carried me onto the dance floor. I laughed as she turned to face me.
“
He
’
s hot,
”
was all Reggie said as we started to bump and grind on each
other. Throughout the whole song we used our fists as microphones belting out
the chorus every time. When the song ended, our little performance was met with
some hooting and hollering from several tables. In true Reggie fashion she
curtsied her way back to the bar.

“
That looked like fun,
”
laughed Flint handing me my drink. Romeo had joined him at
the bar while the other two guys were back at their table.

“
It was,
”
we said in unison.
“
Jinx,
”
we shouted.

“
Your turn,
”
Reggie said as she pointed to the bar.

“
Ok,
”
I agreed,
“
but this is our last shot of the night.
”

“
Agreed.
”

I flagged down
the bartender right as Romeo came to stand next to Reggie. I
felt Reggie tense next to me as I ordered four buttery nipples shots. I turned
to see Romeo whispering in her ear as he put his arm around her shoulders. Even
in the darkened bar I could see a blush flood her cheeks as she giggled. She
turned into his embrace resting her face in the crook of his neck. Romeo made
eye contact with me and nodded. I returned the gesture as the bartender set
down the four shot glasses. Those dirty birds had nothing on Reggie and I was
glad Romeo came to his senses.

“
So lovely, what did you
get?
”
Flint whispered in my ear.

“
Buttery nipples,
”
I answered.

“
Did you get those or do
you have those?
”
He teased.

“
Maybe both,
”
I teased back. I wiggled my backside into his groin feeling
his semi-hard cock against me. I hated to admit it but I loved that I affected
him so much. It was definitely mutual and it felt nice to have someone return
that level of wanting.
