Colorado Ch. 03

In the box was another box, a box of dark, polished stone.

"What is it?" Luke questioned the other three around him.

Sidney Rosenblatt leaned in and looked. "It looks like an ossuary."

"What's that?" Reyna asked.

"A resting place for bones." Sid the younger replied. The color left his face when he shone the flashlight from his phone into the box.

The lid of the ossuary had something engraved on it: יהושע של ניצרת.

"My God!" Sidney the younger exclaimed. He looked up at Harvey. "Can you read Hebrew?"

"It's been a while," Harvey answered as he looked in the box. He looked at Sidney and asked. "Does that say what I think it says?"

Sidney nodded. "I believe so."

"What does it say?" Reyna was growing impatient.

"It says," Sidney stood up so he could look Reyna straight in the eye. "Yeshu'a Shel NitzRat."

Reyna was confused. "What does that mean?"

"I wish my father were here. He is the rabbi of our small congregation." Sidney cleared his throat. "It means, Jesus from Nazareth."

Luke stared at the stone box and looked to Harvey and Sidney. "What do we do now? Do we open it?"

Sidney shook his head. "No. We should not open it. I think until my father recovers, we need to lock the box and place it back in the safety deposit box."

"What about the books?" Reyna looked at the old, leather-bound books in the larger of the two boxes.

Luke pulled out a thick notebook. He opened it and studied the handwriting. "These look like notes from Earl. Reyna and I will take them with us. All the rest need to stay here until Mr. Rosenblatt is well enough to be here and advise us."

"I think that's the best idea." The junior Rosenblatt agreed. "Harvey?"

"I agree, Sid. Luke, Reyna, are you fine with this?"

Reyna nodded her head in agreement. "Absolutely. I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed, like we're in over our heads at the moment."

Luke put his arm around her shoulder. "I agree. A lot's happened in a short amount of time."

Ritika Singh watched as the pickup with Montana plates pulled up to the far pumps. She watched as the girl leaned over and gave the driver a slow, passionate kiss and then got out of the truck with a couple of bags. The driver got out and gave her a warm hug before the girl, Ritika's daughter, Rani, walked towards the store.

She was glad her husband was taking a nap and her son was off playing video games. She would not have wanted them to have to share in the shame she was feeling at this moment.

Rani walked into the store and turned around and waved as Luke drove off. She turned and smiled at her mother. "Hello, mother of mine."

There was no humor in her mother's face or voice. "Come over here, daughter."

She walked around the counter and set her bags down. "Yes, Mother."

"I saw. I am just grateful that your father didn't have to witness what I saw." Ritika's eyes were cold and hard. "Have you given your virginity to that...?" She spat out a Hindi racial epithet. "You've ruined all of my plans."

Rani felt her temper begin to rise. "Your plans? When do I get to be included in the plans for my life?"

Her mother pointed out the window at Luke's truck disappearing down the road. "He's not Indian, and he has no prospects."

"No, he's not Indian. He's a very nice man, and I like him. And he does have prospects." Rani's anger was beginning to build.

"What prospects?" Her mother spat back.

"He is part owner in two businesses, and from what Reyna told me, they have inherited a very tidy sum of money."

"But, what about your virginity?"

"That's none of your business; I am not a child anymore."

"It is my business if you want to continue living under my roof."

Rani was seething now. "It is not your roof. It is our roof. I have worked for no pay for years. I am a partner in this store. I have just as much right to be here as you do." She picked up her bags and went into the back of the store and up the stairs to the Singh's modest living quarters.

She wondered if she had left a trail of steam coming up the stairs. Rani pushed open the door to her bedroom, and she dropped her bags on the floor. Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped.

"Arun! What is it that you think you are doing?"

It was evident what he was doing. Her mind was having a hard time processing it. He was sitting on the edge of her bed with his pants down. A pair of her black panties was wrapped around his very stiff erection, and his hand was in the process of jacking off.

---

"Did you get her dropped off successfully?" Reyna looked up from her mother's laptop when Luke walked in.

"Yup. Safe and sound." He opened the refrigerator and grabbed a soda. He lifted the bottle towards Reyna and asked, "Would you like one?"

"Please," she replied. "We need to decide when we are planning on opening the bed and breakfast for the season. We're getting requests for reservations already."

"I agree, and I need to see what guns Earl was working on and start moving them out."

He sat down at the kitchen table across from Reyna and handed her her drink. "We need to make a road trip. I need to get my stuff from Montana, and we need to get your stuff from Denver."

Reyna looked up from the laptop. "I had almost forgotten about that. We'll go together, right?"

Luke nodded. "Absolutely. We'll head up to Wolf's Creek and then stop in Denver on the return trip to get your stuff."

"Something else, I mentioned to Tracy that we wanted to do some work on the two master suites. She reminded me that her brother, Jason, has a small home contracting business. How do you feel about having him come out and give us an estimate?"

"I think that's a great idea; he can get started while we're gone. We have the money; let's put it to use."

"One more thing." She continued. "The bed and breakfast looks like it's going to be busy. It took both of our moms to run it. We're going to need some help running it."

Luke nodded as he took a drink. "I agree. Do you have any ideas?"

Reyna had a smug look on her face. "As a matter of fact, I do! I have actually interviewed this candidate, and I think she'll be perfect for the job."

"Really?" Luke was surprised. "Who?"

"Rani!"

"But she works at the store with her parents."

"For free." Reyna "We talked about it. She wants to do it. I get the feeling she wants to get away from her parents."

"We can both relate to wanting freedom. Although, that's a quite a commute," Luke mused.

"No commute." Reyna answered. "She can stay here with us. When she wants a day off, she can go into town and stay with her family if she wants."

Luke leaned back in his chair and took a long drink from his bottle. "Well, as long as you're okay with it."

"We talked about it. Some nights you and I will be together. Some nights you and she will be together. Some nights she and I will be together. And some nights all three of us will be together. The secret is no one ever gets left out."

"I don't know quite what to say."

Reyna smiled happily. "Rani and I really hit it off. We really like each other a lot. And we both have feelings for you. I want to see where this can go."

---

Rani sat in her room. She had calmed down from the confrontation with her mother. Now her problem was how to approach her parents about going to work with Reyna at the bed and breakfast. This was probably going to be a hard sell.

There was a knock at her door. She knew it was her brother by the knock.

"Come in, Arun."

"I've come to apologize for upsetting you with my less than brotherly actions." Arun was contrite in his apology.

Rani moved over on her bed. She patted the spot next to her. "Come and sit with me."

After he had sat down on the bed, Rani put her hand on his. "I should apologize; I had just had a bad argument with Mother. I wasn't mad at you, Arun. It was her that I was upset with. You surprised me, that's all."

Arun bowed his head. "I hope you won't tell Mother or Father what I was doing."

"No." Rani shook her head. "I won't say a word. We all masturbate. It's perfectly normal and healthy.""

A wave of relief flowed over Arun. "Thank you, sister. I appreciate your kindness."

"Why were you using my panties?"

Arun looked up from the floor, and he studied his sister for a few moments. "You will probably think me sick when I tell you."

Rani put her hand on his shoulder. "No, Arun, I don't think so."

He took a deep breath. "I have had thoughts, sexual thoughts, about you. I get aroused and then..."

"And that's when you masturbate?"

Arun nodded his head. "Yes."

"I can understand this. Why do you put my panties around..." Rani searched for the word she wanted to use. "Your cock." It gave her a thrill to use sexual language with her brother.

"It feels good." Arun answered. "You've worn them. It's like my cock is touching you."

"Did you finish what you had started?" Rani felt her face flush and grow.

"No." Arun admitted. "I was too worried Father would find out what happened."

"I want to watch you." Rani held her breath.

"Really?" Arun was surprised.

Rani nodded. "Yes, show me what you do with my panties." She stood up and opened the drawer in her dresser that contained her underwear. After a brief search, she handed Arun a pair of very silky black panties. "I want you to use these."

He stood up and unbuckled his belt. Then he undid his pants and let them drop to his knees. He hooked his thumbs into his blue briefs and pulled them down past his knees revealing his growing erection.

"Brother, you have a very nice-looking cock." Rani admired his erect penis.

Arun began stroking his swelling manhood. "I have to admit to wanting you to see my cock. I have fantasized about you watching me."

"Have any girls from school watched you masturbate?" Rani was curious.

"No." Arun almost sounded sad. Then he brightened. "You, my younger sister, are the first to view me jacking off."

"I like when you say things like that; it sounds so dirty and so hot."

"Your panties feel cool on my hard cock." Arun wrapped his sister's panties around his cock, and he continued to masturbate while she watched.

Rani could feel her arousal rise as she watched her brother; she wondered if she could get Luke to do this for her. She had a mental image of her and Reyna watching him masturbate for the two of them.

"I like watching you. Do you do this often?"

"Once or twice a day." He admitted.

"Do you like me watching you masturbate?" Rani asked.

"I really like you seeing my cock and me jacking it for you." Arun's lust had taken over. "Would you show me your tits, sister?"

"They're not very big." Rani blushed at the thought of exposing her breasts to her brother.

Arun shook his head. "That doesn't matter; I just want to see them."

Rani fixed her eyes on the swollen head of his cock. It was wet; it made her lick her lips. She wanted to taste it; she had felt the same way with Luke but had been too shy to ask if it would be okay for her to kiss his cock. She slipped her top off over her head and revealed her small, round breasts to her brother.

"You're not wearing a bra." He was surprised to learn she had been bra-less.

"The only time I wear one is when I'm going to school or working downstairs; otherwise I prefer not to.

"Do you like them?" She squeezed them and pinched her dark, puffy nipples.

"They're beautiful." Arun gushed. They were the first real breasts he had seen in person. He was not disappointed.

"I'm glad you like them." She moved closer to her brother. "You can touch them if you would like."

Arun was surprised. Her breasts were so smooth and soft but at the same time, firm. Her nipples had crinkled and stiffened. The way they felt reminded him of the erasers at the end of pencils. And they were about the same size.

He felt his orgasm coming on; he didn't want to cum now. No, he wanted to continue enjoying fondling his sister's small and firm breasts. "Your tits are so sweet, sister. I love them."

She loved he had called them tits. Luke had done the same, and it had made her knees feel weak. "I love your hands on my tits. Pinch my nipples and tug on them. You can be rough with them."

That was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. "I'm going to cum!" His hand sped up, and he started to moan.

Rani was excited. "Yes, brother, cum for me. Show me you spurting!"

Arun erupted. Long strings of cum shot up into the air. Some of it came down on Rani's breasts; most of it landed on his hand and her panties.

"Wow, that was a lot of cum." Rani played with the cum on her breast.

Arun held up his hand. "Look, I'm vibrating." His hand was shaking. "I don't think I've ever cum that hard before."

Rani handed her brother a handful of Kleenex to help clean up the mess he had made. She was already planning another session with her brother in her mind. There was more she wanted to do and learn, and what better place than in her home, her own room with a willing participant?

"How was your day?" Reyna looked up from her mom's laptop as Luke walked into the kitchen.

"Interesting," he replied as he opened the fridge. "Coke?" He gave Reyna a questioning look.

"Thanks, but I have one." Reyna closed the lid to the laptop. "What was interesting about your day?"

"I've got four rifles packaged up and ready for shipment. FedEx will be out in the morning to pick them up. All four customers were happy to hear about their orders. All of them said, "Even though your dad is gone, they will still do business with us provided that the quality doesn't slip."

"That's great news."

"And now for the interesting part." Luke sat a thick notebook on the table. "Let me read you something. Earl kept a diary of sorts. Most of it has to do with customers and orders."

Reyna nodded and gave Luke her full attention.

"A while back Marvin Westly came to me wanting to sell me some lead, as he knew I cast my own bullets. He brought about one hundred and fifty pounds of lead. I told him it was a bit much, but he was adamant: all or nothing. The price was good, and lead is always good to have on hand. I didn't touch the lead for about six months. By this time Marvin was dead. I started to melt the lead, but there wasn't much lead on the bars. The lead was only a bit more than a half inch thick. The rest was gold. All the bars were like this.

I ended up with over a hundred and twenty pounds of gold. Marvin didn't have any relatives that I knew of. I brought Sid and Vern out and showed them what I had found. They were unsuccessful in locating any family members. And since I had a signed receipt from Marvin, the metal was mine. It didn't matter if it was lead or gold. Harvey arranged the transport for the gold to Denver, where the sale was completed.

I have no idea where Marvin got this from. When he died, he was living on land I had bought. I had let him stay there for free in exchange for watching the property. After he passed, the county sealed his cabin and various outbuildings. If no one comes forward to claim his estate, the contents of the buildings will be mine."

Luke sat the notebook down and looked at Reyna. "I think that begins to answer where the money has come from."

"The land they bought, did Dad ever say anything about it to you?"

"Briefly. He said he had bought up the land around that old mine on Broken Tooth Mountain. I guess the plan was Mom, and your mom wanted to do something they had seen on TV. They wanted to make a small trailer park of eight to ten sites and move refurbished vintage travel trailers in. Then they would rent them out to tourists."

"I like that idea. I would like to see about actually doing it. For them."

Luke nodded. "I agree."

Mario Fishbaum was feeling frustrated. So far his plan was stalled. He read the email again.

"Thank you for your inquiry into reservations. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we won't be ready to take reservations or guests until after the Memorial Day weekend. June 1st will be our tentative opening date.

We hope to have our reservation system up and running within the week. Or you can reply to this email with the dates requested and names of the guests. We will put you on a list and get back to you.

Thank you.

Grizzly Bear Bed and Breakfast."

June 1st was over a month away. Mario stared at the calendar, wishing that looking at the calendar could solve his problems. He had received an email from Il Capo informing him that two suitable candidates had been found. Twin sisters from somewhere in Eastern Europe.

He had two choices: either inform Il Capo that the mission had to be delayed or have the girls sent here. Mario licked his lips at the thought of having sex with twins at the same time. He would have to put them up at his own personal expense, but it just might be worth it.

Training, that's what he would call it. He smiled at the idea of training the twins to suck on his hard cock.

Reyna was sitting on Luke's bed when he walked in from the bathroom.

"That felt good," he remarked.

She didn't look up. "So did mine. Look at this." She spread a drawing out on the bed.

He sat down on the bed beside her and looked at what she was pointing at. "So they had actually started planning?"

"That's what it looks like to me." Reyna looked up at Luke. "Do you think we could go up there and spend a day or two?"

"Why not?" Luke answered. "The RV is in the big garage. I fired it up a few days ago and let it run."

Reyna began to laugh. "Oh no! Not the Wonder Bus!"

Luke joined in the laughter. "Oh yes, I wonder if she will make it."

"God, we had some times in that thing!"

"We did." Luke agreed. "And they were good times."

---

Arun was in his small bathroom brushing his teeth when he heard his sister enter his bedroom.

"Good morning, Brother. I think I have exciting news for you." Rani sounded breathless.

Arun rinsed out his toothbrush and his mouth. "Then tell me the exciting news."

"I spoke with Reyna this morning. She wants you to create a new web page with the ability to make reservations and take payments."

"I can do this; it's pretty straightforward. When does she need this?"

"As soon as you can get it up and running. And they will pay; you just need to tell Reyna your price.""

Arun smiled. "My first customer, not including Father. First paying customer."

"Reyna has invited us to spend a couple of nights out there. That way you can take pictures and get an idea of what their needs are. Luke also wants to update the web page for the gun shop." Rani was excited at the thought of being able to see Luke and Reyna again.

"Have you approached Mother and Father about this?" Arun asked.

Rani shook her head. "No, not yet. I thought it best that we ask them together." In her mind, Rani thought it ridiculous that she and her brother, both adults, should have to ask their parents for permission to do anything. She shrugged her shoulders mentally; it was what it was. It was what it was like to be a child in an Indian family.

"Come." Arun motioned. "Let us catch them before they open the store."

Mr. and Mrs. Singh both looked up as their children entered the kitchen. Mrs. Singh greeted Arun and Rani, "Good morning, children; please sit and have some breakfast."

"Thank you." Arun sat after Rani had taken her seat. "Rani has given me great news this morning."

"Oh?" Mr. Singh looked up from his plate of chili cheese toast.

"Yes." Arun cleared his throat. "I now have my first paying client."

Mr. Singh's face broke out into a wide grin. "Really? This is great news, my son."

"Actually, there are two clients." He began to explain. "Reyna is taking over the bed and breakfast business and needs to set up a reservation system. Luke is taking over the gun business and wants an updated web page and a way for customers to pay for services online and for billing software."

Mr. Singh looked at his wife. "See, I told you, our son is not wasting his time in school. He is expanding the range and scope of the family business."

That wasn't exactly how Arun saw it, but at this point in time, he felt it best to remain silent on this point.

"Luke and Reyna have invited Rani and me to spend a couple of nights with them so we can take pictures for the web pages and meet to understand what their needs and expectations are."

"I see." Mr. Singh nodded. "But why does Rani need to go along?"

"I was going to talk to you this morning. Reyna has offered me a job as manager of their bed and breakfast. She admitted to me that she needs help and that she has no experience running a business." Rani explained. "And I will be getting paid."

"What about the store?" Mrs. Singh asked. "Who will work your shifts?"

Rani replied to her mother, "Father has mentioned on several occasions that his brother is looking for a position for his unmarried daughter."

Mr. Singh nodded. "Yes, this is true. He is looking for somewhere to send Avani. I suspect there is a boy involved."

"How old is she?" Ritika Singh asked her husband.

He looked to the ceiling for guidance. "I believe she is either a year older than Arun or the same age."

She made clucking sounds. "That old and no husband?"

Mr. Singh put down his knife and fork. "Ritika, we are not in India; things work differently here."

"Different doesn't mean better." Mrs. Singh felt she got the last word in and was satisfied.

"Mother and I can handle the store by ourselves for a couple of days. We did it for years when you two were in school. Rani, will you live with Reyna, or will you travel back and forth to town?"

"I want to live out there; it would be too much having to travel back and forth, especially in the mornings when we have to prepare a breakfast for the guests."

Joaquim Rodriguez was exhausted. The two-day trip had stretched into five days due to mechanical breakdowns and cartel activity on the roads. He had lost track of how many babies and elderly he had been asked to bless along the way; he didn't mind; he saw his actions as strengthening the relations between the people and the church. That's what was important, bringing the lost sheep back into the flock. Now, he stood in line at the San Ysidro border crossing.

He presented his documents to a young immigration agent. The agent examined each document closely and then studied Joaquim Rodriguez with practiced thoroughness.

"You don't look like a priest." The agent watched him for his reactions. "I think you're from a cartel."

There was no emotion on Rodriguez's face. "I am what I am, a simple priest."

The agent looked directly into Joaquim Rodriguez's eyes. "Esne sacerdos?"

Rodriguez returned the gaze. "Ita, fili mi."

"Dabisne mihi benedictionem?" The agent asked for a blessing.

As Rodriguez gave the agent a blessing, he drew a cross with his finger on the younger man's forehead. "Pax tibi sit, fili mi. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen."

The agent bowed his head. "Thank you, Father, and please forgive me for doubting you."

"It is fine, my son." Rodriguez nodded his head. "You speak Latin well."

The agent smiled. "I was an altar boy and learned Latin from old Father Romero."

Joaquim Rodriguez walked through the exit. He set his bags down and pulled his cell phone from his pocket. After powering it up, he sent a one-word text, "Phoenix," to a number in Mexico City. A few moments later his message changed from sent status to delivered status. Moments later the status changed to read. There would be no reply; the fact that the message had been read was confirmation.

He sent a second text, "Aqui," to a local San Diego number.

Seconds later the phone rang. He answered in Portuguese, "Deus é grande." God is great.

After Joaquim Rodriguez had left the immigration area, the agent's supervisor addressed the agent. "Why did you allow him to touch you? That's not allowed, and it's not safe."

"At first I suspected him to not be a priest. So I addressed him in Latin. His answers were perfect. I asked for a blessing. And without skipping a beat, he blessed him and made the sign of the cross on my forehead. He is a priest from the times of the Tridentine Mass."

The supervisor shook her head. "I don't quite understand."

The agent had tears forming in his eyes. "I insulted him, and he treated me with kindness and forgiveness. I could feel the power of the Lord in him when he touched me."

"I want to be your mistress." Reyna teased Luke as she felt his arm wrap around her.

"Oh yeah? What brought this on?"

"I can't be your wife or your girlfriend. So, the best I can do is mistress."

He kissed her lips with tenderness that showed the depth of the feelings he had for his cousin. "You can be whatever you want to be with me."

Her hazel eyes sparkled as she looked into his eyes. "Mistress sounds daring and mysterious. Men love their mistresses, and I want to be loved. Do you think you will ever love me?"

"What makes you think that I don't already love you, Reyna?" Luke played with her hair.

She felt like she was at a loss for words. Her teasing had betrayed her true feelings. "I worry that I will lose you to Rani."

"Never." Luke kissed her passionately. "We share something that no one else can share. We love each other on many levels. I like Rani; I'm attracted to her, but I'm not in love with her. And let's not forget she's attracted to you as much as she's attracted to me."

"Sometimes I feel silly." Reyna held Luke tightly in her arms.

"No, baby, you're not silly, not at all. I can't tell the future, but I can promise you one thing. If I ever get seriously involved with someone, that person is going to have to accept my relationship with you. Kind of like what we have with Rani."

"I want to watch you fuck her." Reyna was becoming aroused. "I want to watch your big cock fucking her tight eighteen-year-old pussy."

"I want you to watch me." Luke's penis had been on the border of becoming erect. Expressing this thought pushed him over the edge. His cock stiffened, and at this moment he wanted to dominate his cousin with his erect manhood. He wanted to take what he saw as his at this moment.

"You make me hot." Reyna growled in his ear.

"And you make my cock hard," he responded.

She reached her hand into the boxer shorts he used for pajamas and wrapped her hand around his stiff manhood. With both hands she began to remove his shorts. "I don't think you'll be needing these anytime soon."

"I hope not." Luke slipped his hand under her t-shirt and began to fondle her firm breasts. "I love your tits; they fit my hands like they were made for them."

"I think I was made for you. To be yours." She kissed Luke, thrusting her tongue deep into his mouth as her hand stroked his throbbing erection.

When the kiss ended, Luke was tugging on her nipples, pulling them until she let out a soft gasp. "That hurts," she whispered, "and it feels so good."

"You are mine, Reyna. I want to make you my..."

She put her finger to his lips. "Let me say it. Your little slut."

He nodded. "Yes, my little slut."

"That's what I want from you, Luke. I want to belong to you. Be owned by you. When I was young I had fantasies like this, and I didn't understand them. They confused me. Now, I feel like I am beginning to know what they meant."

Luke slipped his hand into her panties. Her pussy was already wet and ready. "I want to fuck you. I want to claim you with my cock; I want to own you with it. I want to make my sweet, innocent cousin my sexy slut, my sex toy."

"Put your cock in me now, Luke. I want you to make me cum with your gorgeous cock." Reyna's voice was heavy with desire.

Luke moved between her legs. He didn't bother taking her panties off; he just moved them aside the tip of his cock. He slid deep into her with almost no effort; her pussy felt smooth and velvety. He raised himself up so they both could look down and watch his cock claiming her smooth pussy.

"I love being fucked by my dirty cousin." Reyna looked up into his eyes. She loved the feeling of his big cock filling her pussy.

"My cousin is the sexiest girl I have ever known." He thrust his cock in her, hard and deep, pulling back out so the tip almost escaped, then back in until his pubic bone ground against hers. "I love fucking your pussy."

Reyna shuddered at the range of kinky thoughts flowing through her mind. And she loved every single one of them. "Family is best, right, baby? Would you fuck me if I were your sister?"

Her words were driving Luke wild. "Yes, I would fuck my sister if it were you. And you're right, fucking family is best." He loved how his cock felt in her pussy; she made him feel virile, and he wanted to claim her as his.

"Fuck me harder, Luke, fuck me like the slut I am. I'm close to cumming already."

Luke's thrusts came harder and faster, their bodies making slapping noises as they came together. Reyna's small breasts jiggled like little bowls of jelly each time Luke buried his cock hard and deep into his cousin's tight little cunt.

"Oh, fuck, baby!" Reyna dug her fingers and short nails into his ass, trying to pull him even harder and deeper. "When you get ready to cum, don't cum inside of me."

Her words came through his haze of lust as if in a fog. "Why?" He was confused for a moment.

"I want you to cum on my face and in my mouth. I want you to mark me as your slut, your cum slut. I want to belong to you and to no one else." And with that, her body began to shiver and shake. "I'm cumming baby..." Her words were lost in the storm of her orgasm sweeping over her body.

Luke could see and feel her body as she came. Her pussy felt like little hands trying to jack him off. He knew he wasn't going to last much longer. A few more thrusts deep into her sweet pussy would be all he could take. He could feel the familiar pressure building in his balls.

He pulled out of her pussy and leaned forward. Reyna's hand grasped his cock as soon as it was out of her pussy and began to stroke him in an effort to make him cum. He moved up until his cock was at her mouth. Reyna opened her mouth and started to lick the underside of his swollen erection as she stroked.

It was only moments later when he let out a loud moan. "Yes!" And then his cock erupted into her mouth and onto her cheek. She moved his cock around her face, rubbing it against her cheeks as it spurted his warm semen over her cheeks.

He loved seeing his cum on her face. It felt like they had crossed a line tonight, a forbidden boundary that could never be uncrossed.

"I love how you taste." Reyna's voice was soft and quiet. She kissed his chest and hugged him tightly before excusing herself to go to the bathroom. The reflection of her face in the mirror with his cum still on it made her feel warm inside.

She returned after cleaning her face, sliding into the bed beside Luke and wrapping her arms around him. "I am yours now; I belong to you."

"That's what I want." Luke kissed her on the lips. "I want you to be mine."

---

Reyna walked into the shop and found Luke assembling a rifle. She walked up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "How's it going?"

Luke sat the screwdriver he was using down. "It's going well. This is the second rifle I'll have finished today. I'm starting to clear out the backlog. How about you? How's your..." He looked at his watch. "Wow, look at the time."

"It's quitting time, baby. You need to get cleaned up; we're going out."

He gave Reyna a quizzical look. "Really? Where?" He tried to think if he had forgotten something.

"Tracy called; she and Brad have invited us to go out for some dinner and dancing. Both of them have tomorrow off."

Luke grinned. "I like that idea. Let me get everything put away, and I'll be in to get cleaned up."

They met Brad and Tracy at what was considered locally as the one really good eating establishment, Meat 'n Taters. Their specialty was a forty-eight-ounce tomahawk steak with a football-sized baked potato. If in ninety minutes a customer could completely eat the steak, potato, and the side dish of veggies, then the meal was on the house. To date, the challenge had yet to be met.

Luke and Brad, in jest, tried to goad the other into accepting the challenge.

"You'd have to haul me out of here in a wheelbarrow if I tried to eat that," laughed Brad.

Luke nodded in agreement. "I think you could easily feed the four of us on that steak and potato."

"Do you guys often get a Friday night and Saturday off together?" Reyna asked Tracy.

Tracy looked at Brad. "When was the last one?"

Brad shook his head. "Really, I don't remember."

With Brad working as a sheriff's deputy and Tracy working as a nurse at the hospital, their days off didn't often line up, and to get a weekend off together without one of them taking vacation time was almost unheard of.

"I'm touched that you asked us out to dinner on this auspicious occasion." Luke was flattered at the invitation.

"We held a lottery," joked Tracy. "And you two were the lucky winners."

"I'm just glad you called when you did; we do have a very full social calendar." Reyna laughed.

After the waiter had brought them their meals, Brad, in a very quiet voice, asked Luke, "Have you learned any more?"

Luke nodded. "I don't want to say too much here, but it seems Earl bought some lead from Marvin Westly."

"Oh?" Brad's curiosity was piqued.

"Yeah." Nodded Luke. "But it wasn't what it appeared to be. The lead was just a cover-up for what was really underneath."

Brad mouthed the word, "Gold?" Not wanting to say it out loud in the restaurant.

Luke nodded in the affirmative.

"How much?"

Luke thought for a moment. "About what Reyna or Tracy weighs."

The clattering sound of Brad's fork hitting his plate as he dropped it made the people at the tables around him turn and take momentary notice. Brad's mouth hung open as he stared at Luke and tried to process what Luke had just said. "That would have to be..."

"Not here," Luke interrupted his friend.

Brad recovered from the initial shock. "Where did Westly find it, I wonder?"

Luke shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. "I have no idea."

After dinner Tracy suggested they go to the Hardrock Bar for some after-dinner drinks and dancing. "I heard that they have a decent band this week."

Luke looked at Reyna. "I'm up for it if you are."

"We haven't gone out since we've been back. I think it will do us some good to go out and kick up our heels and howl at the moon."

Reyna looked at Luke and realized that she was happy. Much happier than she had felt in recent years. The tragedy of losing her parents and her aunt was still fresh in her mind, and that hurt wasn't going to go away anytime soon. It was the feeling that she was with someone that cared for her and loved her. That was something she had never really experienced. She looked at Luke, smiled, and told herself how lucky she was.

The bar was busy; after all, it was Thursday night, or Friday's Eve, as the banner above the bar proclaimed, along with drinks being half off from 8:00pm to 10:00pm.

Brad laughed and rubbed his hands together. "Perfect, just what we need: cheap drinks, loud music, and good company."

"There's a table over there." Luke pointed at a table furthest from the dance floor.

The band was good, and it wasn't long before the dance floor was crowded with couples dancing. Luke looked doubtfully at the dance floor as Reyna tugged on his arm. "Obviously you don't remember the wedding we went to; I'm not much of a dancer."

Reyna laughed. "I do remember the wedding, and I seem to remember you could hold your own on the floor."

Tracy grabbed Brad from his chair. "Don't you think you're just going to sit on this chair all night?"

Brad shook his head. "I know when I'm licked." Looking at Luke, he said, "Well, bud, it looks like we got our marching orders tonight!"

They rarely sat; only when the band was on break did they sit to catch their breath and take a drink. And as the night wore on, they would trade dance partners on and off during a set.

Another slow ballad, a request from someone in the crowd, began. Luke was going to look for Reyna, but Tracy pulled him close. "No, you don't; you're going to dance with me to this one. She won't mind."

Luke felt a bit guilty about liking how his friend's wife felt close to him. He cursed his cock for reacting to Tracy. He hoped she wouldn't notice. When she started to grind against him, he felt that she didn't mind and just enjoyed the moment.

"You know, Luke, you're a lucky guy," Tracy whispered in his ear as they danced.

"What makes you think that?"

"Not many guys can be fucking two girls at the same time and neither of them mind."

"Well, uh..." Luke was at a loss for words.

"I saw you and Rani, and I watched for a few minutes. I was so turned on that I went back to bed and gave Brad a blowjob." The drinks had loosened Tracy's tongue a bit.

"I know, he told me."

"What he didn't know was that it was your cock I was sucking in my head." Tracy felt both her cheeks and pussy go warm. "I'd love to suck your cock sometime, Luke. I know Reyna wouldn't mind."

"What about Brad?"

"Oh, I think he would be okay. There's a new, young dispatcher on at nights who he has the hots for."

After the song ended, they headed back to their table and sat down. Reyna noticed the bulge in Luke's jeans, and as he sat down, she asked, "So, did you have a good time?"

Luke blushed. "Yeah, Tracy said she wants to suck my cock."

"I know." Reyna giggled. "She told me earlier."

"She also said that you didn't mind."

Reyna put her hand on his hand. "I don't mind. I know she's not trying to take you away; she and Brad are very happy with each other. She just wants to suck your cock. You're a man, and I think you should be allowed to have more than one girl take care of your needs."

"I'm not sure what to say." Luke was at a loss for words.

"Look at how happy my mom and dad and your mom were. I've looked at some of the movies they made. There are videos of Dad with Mom, your mom, and with other women. And they all look like they are enjoying themselves. So I don't mind you having other sexual partners, Luke. Just let me be a part of it and don't hide it from me."

Luke kissed Reyna and then looked into her eyes. "I don't want to hide anything from you. Ever."

Brad and Tracy returned from the bar with another round of drinks and set them on the table.

"I don't know if I should have another." Luke looked at Brad and at the drinks.

"If you're not driving, which none of us will be, another drink or two will be perfectly fine. We'll take a cab home, you two can spend the night with us, and maybe we'll go out for breakfast in the morning." Brad looked at Luke, then Reyna, and added with a laugh. "Don't argue; I'm the law here."

"Well, I guess we've been told." Luke turned to Reyna. "Is there anything you need?"

Tracy interrupted, "I think we have everything you two need for tonight."

"Then I guess you have guests tonight!" Reyna grinned at Tracy.

"Get up outta that chair, bitch, you're comin' home with me."

Luke didn't recognize the man and for a moment was confused as to who he was addressing.

Reyna looked up at the man. "Get lost. I left you after you dumped me for that bimbo from Walmart. You're no longer a part of my life."

"You don't get to leave until I kick your worthless ass out." He went to grab at Reyna, but Luke stood up and blocked his path.

"The lady told you to leave. So I suggest you be getting going to whatever hole you slithered out of." Luke watched the other man's eyes.

"Get lost, dickhead. My buddies and I need a slut to suck our cocks, and she's comin' with us."

Brad stood up and watched the two other men.

"Leave while you still can; the lady isn't going anywhere." Luke moved so he was directly between the man and Reyna.

"Fuck you." The man swung at Luke, hoping to catch him off guard, but Luke stepped back. As soon as the man's fist was past Luke's face, he stepped forward and delivered a devastating uppercut that caught the man right on the chin. As he absorbed the blow, the man's eyes went glassy, and his whole body crumpled to the floor.

Brad directed the man's friends. "Pick your friend up and get him out of here before I call and have him hauled off to jail."

Ernie Fong had graduated the year before Brad and Luke and had come in second at State for wrestling. He was a big man; his neck was bigger around than most men's thighs. He was now a physical therapist and part-time bouncer at the bar. "We got problems here, Brad?"

"No, no problems, Ernie. He just can't handle his liquor."

Ernie nodded his head and looked at Luke and then at Luke's hand. "I'll send one of the girls over for an ice pack for your hand. Come and see me in the morning at the office, and we'll take a look at it."

As he waited for the ice pack to arrive, Luke looked at Reyna. "Was that..."

Reyna's eyes were misty; she was trying to keep the tears at bay. "Yeah, that was the mistake."

"I think this calls for another round," Brad announced.

---

They didn't call a cab; instead Brad flagged down a passing patrol car and had his co-worker give them a ride to Tracy and Brad's home. He laughed as they got out of the SUV. "We probably saved fifteen minutes and fifteen bucks."

Brad mixed everyone a nightcap before sitting down in his easy chair. He raised his glass in a toast. "That was a hell of an evening. We need to go out more often!"

Luke laughed, "I think I'll retire from the entertainment committee; someone else can take a turn to provide the entertainment."

Brad shook his head. "That guy went down like Mike Tyson had hit him. I seriously think I saw him deflate."

"He's nothing but a windbag," Reyna piped up. "He thinks he's tough; more often than not, he has a roll of dimes in his pocket."

"How did you get hooked up with him?" Tracy asked.

"Play stupid games and you win stupid prizes." Reyna replied. "I'll tell you the whole sordid tale sometime when we go for lunch or something."

Later, as they lay in bed, Luke had his arm around Reyna, just holding her. She had declined Tracy's offer of pajamas; she wanted to feel Luke's skin on hers. "Do you know who you reminded me of tonight?"

"No, who?" Luke replied.

"Dad." Reyna could feel tears beginning to flow, but she didn't care. "You looked and sounded like Dad."

"He was a good man and the only father I had. I guess you can say I learned from the best."

"Thank you for standing up for me, Luke. You have no idea what that meant to me." She gave him a soft kiss on the lips.

"You're my girl. And I'm here to take care of you. I know we don't know what to call our relationship. I don't think it needs a label."

"I love you, Luke." She held him tightly, afraid that she would wake up and find out it all had been a dream.

Luke turned his head towards Reyna, and he kissed her forehead. "And I love you; I always have."

His Excellency, Jorge Juan Garcia, was the Archbishop of Southern California for the Catholic Church. He was fifty-seven years old and had held the position of archbishop for just over two years. He was young and had high hopes of wearing the red robes of a cardinal before his career was over.

Two days ago a package had arrived from Rome by courier. A young Italian priest had hand-delivered the package to the archbishop, but only after inspecting the archbishop's passport to confirm his identity. Packages from the Vatican weren't unheard of, but to have the package delivered by hand was out of the ordinary. Offhand, the archbishop couldn't ever recall a similar situation. The cover letter that accompanied it wasn't in the normal Ecclesiastical Latin that the church used for business matters. It was in very formal classical Latin and handwritten.

The letter instructed the archbishop to secure the package in his private safe. Someone would arrive to claim the package. They would introduce themselves with a statement; he was to answer with a follow-up response. He was to memorize the three short lines and then destroy the letter. There was to be no deviation in the wording. If the visitor's statement and response deviated at all, he was to inform him the package had been delayed and to check back the next day.

Then the archbishop was to destroy the package without opening it and then send a one-word text to a number he was to memorize. Ten minutes ago his secretary, the dour-looking Sister Agatha, had announced the arrival of a visitor. "No, he hadn't given a name."

"Send him in."

He wasn't sure what he had been expecting. The visitor was of average height and slender. He guessed his age to be about the same as his own. He was dressed as a Jesuit priest, but his walk was more reminiscent of a soldier.

"A peccato venio." Were his first words, 'I come from sin.'

That was correct, so the Archbishop replied, "Salvaberis?" Latin for, 'Will you be saved?'

"Mater nostra, Maria, et filius eius nos servabunt." The archbishop saw the beauty of the statement. Our mother, Mary, and her son will save us.

The Archbishop pointed at chair. "Welcome and sit down." He pressed a button under his desk that would summon Sister Agatha to his office.

"Thank you." Joaquim Rodriguez sat in the offered chair.

The office door opened, and Sister Agatha took two squeaky steps in. "Excellency?"

"Please open the safe and retrieve the package from Rome."

Sister Agatha nodded and retreated out of the office.

The archbishop eyed Rodriguez for a moment or two. "You really aren't a Jesuit, are you?"

Rodriguez smiled. "No, Excellency, I am not."

"Have you actually been ordained?"

"Yes, Excellency, I am an ordained priest. I can hear your confession if you wish."

The archbishop was curious. "Who exactly are you?"

Rodriguez stood, and with a great deal of pride in his voice, announced, "I am Cavaleiro Comandante Joaquim Louis Rodriguez of the Royal Military Order of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Order of the Knights of Our Lord Jesus Christ."

Archbishop Garcia searched his memory from those long-ago history lessons. "I had no idea that order still even existed."

"We still do God's work."

"Can I ask why you are here?"

Rodriguez sat back in the chair. "Yes, you may. But before doing so, I should caution you that anything said here carries the weight of the confessional. If you reveal any of what I say, you could be excommunicated."

The archbishop was taken aback; he wasn't used to having priests of lower ranks lecture him as to what he could and couldn't do. "I understand."

Before Rodriguez could begin, a light knock interrupted the two men as Sister Agatha, squeaky shoes and all, entered the office and deposited the package on the archbishop's desk.

After Sister Agatha had left the office, Rodriguez commented, "Did you ever wonder why every older sister has squeaky shoes?"

"I have wondered that myself at times." The archbishop admitted.

"Late in the 16th century, two ships left Lisbon bound for Brazil in the late summer. A little too late, as we now know about hurricane season in the Caribbean. We don't know much of what happened, as the only survivor to make it back to Portugal was one of the cabin boys. The two ships were blown off course, the masts and sails ripped away by the storm and wrecked on the western coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

Not much is known about what happened next. We know the survivors removed all the valuables and set off inland. For almost two years there was a running battle between the survivors and a group of Spanish conquistadors and Jesuit priests.

A decision was made to hide whatever it was they were carrying, attempt to elude the pursuers, and to send the boy separately with a native guide. He managed to return to Portugal four years later, carrying a letter from the ship's captain, or whoever was left in charge at the time.

Rodriguez pointed to the package on the archbishop's desk. "In that package is a copy of the letter. The Vatican didn't want to risk the original. Also included are copies of the manifests for both ships. Allegedly there's some treasure and artifacts from the Templars that are not included in the manifests."

About ten years ago a quantity of gold bars showed up to be melted down at a business in Colorado. A couple of the bars were retained by the owner of the gold business and were sold at auction. The bars had markings consistent with the markings the Knights Templar used.

That's pretty much all we know at the moment. We also know, or believe, that the ships' logs and the journal of the expedition leader were recovered and locked away in a secure storage facility. We received word that two packages were removed and transported to someone in the southwest corner of Colorado."

"It sounds like a plot out of a Hollywood movie." As much as he tried to hide it, the archbishop was impressed with the tale Rodriguez had just recounted.

"Truth can be stranger than fiction."

"What do you think was on that ship? The Ark of the Covenant?"

"No." Rodriguez shook his head. "If the Ark does indeed still exist, I believe it's at the Chapel of the Tablet in Axum, Ethiopia. We know there was gold, and there could be relics dating back to the early days of the Church. You have to remember there wouldn't have been a lot of trust between the order and the Church. The order only survived due to King Dennis and then his successors.

We know there are rumors of Templar treasure having been moved to Scotland and then to Oak Island in Nova Scotia. I think at the time what remained of the Templar orders were trying to move their wealth out of Europe and away from the Church."

The archbishop studied Rodriguez for a few minutes. "So, who do you serve, your order or the Church?"

Rodriguez shook his head. "Neither and both. I serve God and my savior, Jesus Christ." He made the sign of the cross as he gave his answer.

"Is there anything you require from me?"

"Yes." Rodriguez replied. "If you have a place for me to stay for a few days. I need to study what they have sent me, and I need to make some accommodations for travel."

"We can arrange quarters at the monastery." Then with some hesitation the archbishop asked, "Do you require any financial assistance?"

"No, I have all the money I need."

The Archbishop did his best to hide his relief.

Rodriguez stood up and retrieved the package from the desk. "Now, if you could just direct me to where I'll be staying."

Ernie Fong examined Luke's hand. "Is it sore?"

"A bit."

"I don't think you've done any damage; just ice it and take ibuprofen to help with the swelling." Ernie looked up at Luke. "Any idea who you socked?"

"An ex of Reyna's. That's all I know."

Ernie stripped the latex gloves from his hands and tossed them into the trash. "I heard later that you broke his jaw."

"Really?" Luke was astonished.

"Yeah. The sheriff's office called after you and Brad had left. Seems like he was trying to press charges against you. I told them he had tried to assault Reyna and had swung at you. I also told them Brad had witnessed the whole thing."

"Do you think I need to turn myself in?" Luke's voice had a hint of concern.

"I don't think so. From what the deputy told me, they weren't going to pursue it any further."

"Thanks for taking the time to look at my hand, Ernie. What do I owe you?"

Ernie shook his head. "Nothing. It's on the house, brother. Maybe you can return the favor sometime if I need something looked at."

Luke shook Ernie's hand. "You got a deal. Anytime."

---

Luke walked into the kitchen. "Reyna! Where are you?"

She called out from one of the bedrooms currently under remodel. "I'm in the bedroom."

"Want a Coke?" He opened the refrigerator and waited for her answer.

"Please!"

He grabbed two bottles of Coke and headed to the bedroom where Reyna was working. He handed her a bottle. "I have great news. Sid Rosenblatt called. His dad is recovering faster than expected. He's going to charter an aircraft and bring him home late next week."

"That is great news; maybe then we can get some answers." She twisted the lid off the bottle and took a drink. "I have news as well."

"Oh? What's your news?" Luke sat in the old brown wing-back chair that had been his mother's favorite.

"Rani called." She watched Luke for a reaction. When none seemed immediately forthcoming, she continued. "She and Arun are going to come out for a couple of days. Arun is going to set up the reservation and payment systems for the bed and breakfast. And he's going to update the website for the gunsmithing business."

"What do you think about taking them up to Broken Tooth with us? There's more than enough room in the Wonder Bus?"

Reyna shrugged her shoulders. "Why not? I'll call her and let her know to pack some camping clothes." She picked up her cell phone and made a call. "Straight to voicemail. I'll try again later."

After setting her phone down, she looked at Luke. "Are you going to fuck her?"

Luke choked on his Coke as he was in the middle of taking a drink. "What the hell? I was just taking a drink."

"Well?"

"I don't know; you might ask her." Luke gave his cousin an exasperated look.

"I did." Reyna replied with a straight face.

"No! You didn't!" Luke was incredulous.

Reyna nodded her head and took another swallow from her bottle of Coke.

"Are you going to tell me her answer or make me wait?"

Reyna burst out laughing, "This was too easy. Yes, I did ask. I asked because of her brother coming with her. She said she wanted you."

"What about her brother?"

Reyna got a conspiratorial look on her face. "Well, she told me he's still a virgin. So I was thinking; since you got to pop Rani's cherry, how about me taking his?"

"Really?" Luke felt like he had entered an episode of the Twilight Zone.

"I've never been a boy's first. And he is really cute." Reyna's face got serious. "I won't if it bothers you."

Luke shook his head. "No, I don't mind."

Reyna giggled. "We could have a little orgy in the Wonder Bus. I could watch you fucking, Rani, and you could watch me getting fucked."

"That's kind of hot." Luke looked at his cousin with a lustful look. "You know what's even hotter?"

"What?" Reyna asked.

"Rani and Arun watching each other having sex."

"Mmm, yes." Reyna let a soft moan escape. "She told me she fantasizes about having sex with him."

"That would be hot to watch, a brother fucking his pretty younger sister."

"That gave me shivers, nice little shivers." Reyna grinned at Luke.

---

"Pack some warm clothes, brother." Rani peeked into her brother's room. "Reyna called; we're going to go camping for a night, or maybe two. And take your hiking boots."

Arun looked up from the book he was reading. "Where are we going?"

Rani shook her head. "I'm not sure, Broken Tooth Mountain, I think that's what she called it."

"Maybe we can get some time together?" Arun sounded hopeful.

"Maybe," Rani replied.

It was like their mother suspected the siblings were being sexual with each other. It seemed that every time they were alone upstairs, their mother would suddenly appear with a worried expression on her face. As soon as she was convinced that nothing was going on between Arun and Rani, her expression relaxed.

Ritika Singh was suspicious. She had sensed a change in Rani since she had come back from spending the weekend with Reyna. She knew that Rani had been deflowered, and now she was worried that having tasted the forbidden fruit she might try to entice and seduce her older brother into a sexual relationship.

She wasn't happy about her daughter going to work for Reyna. She liked Reyna, and if forced to admit it, she liked Luke. He had always been a polite boy, and now that he was a grown man, that side of him hadn't changed. She knew Luke did have prospects, but she wanted her daughter to marry an Indian man and have a big Indian wedding. That seemed more and more unlikely now that she was going to move out to where Reyna and Luke lived. She had been against it, but her husband had been all for it.

Now, their niece would come out and help out in the store. She had pumped her sister-in-law for information. And there had been a boy involved, and he was not Indian, which had appalled her sister-in-law as much as it would have appalled Ritika.

Maybe having Avani come out wasn't a bad thing. She would be Arun's third cousin. She might get her big Indian wedding another way. Traditionally the bride's parents bore most of the financial burden of the wedding. Ritika sat back in her chair, secretly pleased with some of the possibilities.

Mario Fishbaum waited at the baggage carousel at O'Hare airport in Chicago. He had flown from Denver to Chicago to meet the sisters personally. According to Il Capo, the girls were twins. From the pictures Mario had received, he was inclined to agree.

They were twenty-two and were veterans of the Eastern European porn industry. But, after two years of making explicit x-rated videos, they had met one of Il Capo's associates. He had seen their potential almost immediately and had arranged to purchase their contracts. As with their porn career, they had shown they would do whatever it took to accomplish their objectives. For the past two years they had done whatever Il Capo had requested.

He recognized them immediately. They were dressed in matching designer tracksuits. The pictures didn't do them justice. They were extremely attractive. Natural blonde hair that flowed over their shoulders. Both appeared to have larger than average breasts, something Mario certainly appreciated.

"The Windy City welcomes you." Mario said in a quiet voice to the two girls standing in front of the luggage carousel.

The girl on his right replied, "Do the Cubs play today?"

Mario responded back, "Not until Sunday."

They had a total of six bags. Mario was glad he had rented a large SUV; he was going to need the space. He motioned for a Red Cap with a large cart to assist with the luggage. He gave the man a twenty-dollar tip for his services. Up to this point the girls had been completely silent. He unlocked the doors and was a little disappointed when they both climbed into the back seat. He was hoping for a little female companionship for the drive home.

On the drive to the hotel, his attempts at small talk were met with silence or one-word answers. He wondered if they saw him as just a hired flunky sent out to retrieve them from the airport. He pulled into a quiet but very luxurious hotel and stopped in the valet parking.

The valet appeared immediately. "Good evening, Mr. Fishbaum, will you be requiring your vehicle again this evening?"

"No, Morris, probably not until tomorrow evening. Can you please arrange to have the luggage taken up to my suite?"

"Of course, Mr. Fishbaum."

Mario turned to the girls. "If you would please follow me."

Their looks of detached boredom had changed to ones of interest. Mario was glad to see the change; he felt he deserved respect.

Their suite was on the top floor; actually their suite was the top floor. Four bedrooms, six baths, a private pool, and a twenty four hour concierge dedicated to only this suite. As he opened the double doors to the suite, he could tell by the looks on each of their faces that each was impressed.

"Ladies, this is where we will be staying until we can make further reservations."

One of the girls asked, "How long do you expect us to be here?"

"At least a month," Mario replied.

The second sister asked, "And do you plan to stay here as well, in this suite?"

Mario nodded. "Yes, of course I will be staying here."

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled. "I suppose you will be expecting to have sex with us?"

Mario was surprised at the question, not so much at the content of the question, but rather that it had come so soon. "Well, uh..."

The first sister looked at Mario. "We don't mind; it will cost you, though."

Mario was pleased; he didn't mind paying for sex. He had done it many times in the past, and that trend was likely to continue.

Reyna hadn't needed to do much work to get the cabins up to being rent-ready. It seems her mother and Luke's mother had done most of the work before they had been murdered. She wanted them looking their best for Arun to take pictures for the website. She was excited about getting the bed and breakfast up and running. It's what she needed, a purpose, something to keep her occupied.

She had just finished dusting the last cabin when she heard the Wonder Bus pull into the yard. Luke had taken it into town to fill the tank with diesel and to top off the propane tank.

When Luke got out of the motorhome, Rani and Arun followed. Reyna frowned and said, "This isn't the Wonder Bus."

He led her to the rear of the motorhome and pointed to the large white letters. "They got rid of the Wonder Bus a year or two after we left home. This is the Wonder Bus Too!"

The light clicked on in Reyna's mind. "That's right, the plan was for them to escape the cold winters and head to the warmer weather."

"Yup. Forty-two feet of opulent luxury!" Luke laughed.

Arun was in awe of the massive RV. "I had no idea such things existed."

Reyna gave both Arun and Rani a hug. "Let's get your things into the house, and then we'll see about a little lunch."

After lunch Reyna gave Arun and Rani a tour of the cabins. Arun had his camera out, taking dozens of shots in each cabin. He looked at his phone. "Is there no wifi out here?"

"I don't think so," Reyna replied.

"I think you could be losing out on a type of traveler who works from home and needs a connection to the internet for work."

"Do you have any suggestions?" Luke asked.

"Yes," Arun responded. "Starlink. We mount the antenna on the middle cabin and put the router inside. It's strong enough to cover this whole area reliably."

Reyna looked at Luke. "What do you think?"

"This is your baby; if you want to do it, I am all for it. To me, it sounds like a great idea."

"It's nice, neat, and clean. We'll have no exposed wires. Other than the little white antenna on the roof, nothing will be seen. And your guests will have plenty of wifi bandwidth to satisfy their needs. It will just make your place more attractive to potential guests."

"How long will it take you to get us completely up and running and ready to start booking reservations?"

Reyna gave Rani a subtle wink. "Maybe after dinner you and I can sit down and discuss what I need in detail."

She had told Rani of her plan to seduce Arun. Rani had been in full agreement, as it gave her time alone with Luke.

Arun gave an enthusiastic nod. "Yes, we can do that."

Luke took Arun around the gun shop, letting him take all the pictures he felt he needed.

"You have so many guns." Arun was impressed by the collection of weapons in the gun shop.

"Once I get going, I will sell and trade some of these. So you can think of these as inventory." Luke knew how Arun must feel. He was still impressed at the quantity of weapons on site.

"Would you like me to set up an inventory control system for the shop?"

"I never thought of that, but I think it would be a great idea. It would help a lot in keeping the paperwork accurate for the ATF. You want to make sure you have your shit together if they decide to audit your books."

"Then, I will get started on that as well." Arun was excited at having a real customer with real needs and not just an exercise from a book.

Luke looked at Arun for a moment. "Arun, have you ever fired a gun?"

"No, never."

Luke broke out into a wide grin. "Well, today is your lucky day."

---

"Are you sure it's okay?" Rani searched Reyna's eyes.

"Absolutely." Reyna touched Rani's cheek. "I want you to have time alone with Luke. And I think your brother is cute. It's what I want."

"Do you want to know what I want?" Rani kissed Reyna's fingers.

"Yes, I do." Reyna was becoming aroused.

"I want to watch you and Luke having sex. I want you to watch Luke and me having sex. I want Luke to masturbate while watching the two of us having sex together."

"Mmm," Reyna purred. "I can't wait until you move out here for the summer with us."

Rani's mouth moved towards Reyna at the same time that Reyna was moving towards Rani. Their mouths met and opened. Their tongues ventured forth and began exploring and dancing. For both girls, this was a first. It was the first time they had kissed someone of the same sex. It was something they both had dreamed about.

A soft moan escaped from Reyna as she felt Rani's hand slip under her t-shirt and begin to fondle her breasts. She moaned again when Rani began to play with her fully erect nipples. Reyna slid her hand under Rani's top and found her braless as well.

She loved how firm Rani's young breast felt in her hand, her nipples hard against the palm of her hand. They continued to kiss, their tongues exploring the other, dancing back and forth.

The sound of gunshots startled the two girls. Rani wore an alarmed expression as she looked at Reyna. "What's going on?"

Reyna smiled and pulled Rani back towards her. "I think Luke is teaching your brother how to shoot."

Rani relaxed and lay back down next to Reyna. "I want to touch you."

A shiver of delight flowed through Reyna. "Please." She bit her lip and then whispered. "I want to touch you as well."

"Wait." Reyna got up off the bed and locked the door.

She slipped her shorts off and removed her underwear. Rani watched her and removed her own shorts and panties.

"I've never done this." Rani's voice was soft.

Reyna reached between Rani's legs and touched her. She felt warm and very moist. Her finger found her little nub, erect and waiting to be touched. She let out a moan as she felt Rani put her finger on her clit. Rani's touch felt different than Luke's or any male that had touched her. It was soft, delicate, and knowing. Reyna realized Rani was doing the same thing she was, touching the other one the way they masturbated themselves.

They resumed kissing, their mouths trying to devour the other's mouth. Touching another girl's pussy for the first time had her extremely turned on. It wasn't what she had imagined. It was so much better. And Rani's finger flicking her clit and fingering her was giving her body little shivers of lust.

Reyna's finger made tiny tight circles on the eighteen year old girl's clit. When she fingered Rani's pussy visions of Luke's cock taking her virginity and pumping in and out of her teen pussy filled her mind. She loved the feeling of Rani's fingers alternating between stroking and rubbing her clit and then fingering her.

"I'm going to cum soon," Rani whispered as she lightly bit Reyna's lower lip.

"Yes! Cum for me. I'm almost there, too."

Rani's hips began to rock back and forth, humping Reyna's hand. Her body tensed up as her orgasm washed over her. She rubbed Reyna's clit as fast as she could; she wanted her friend to cum with her.

"Oh fuck, oh fuck!" Reyna was drunk with lust as she came. She wished she had a cock or a sex toy to fuck her pussy at this moment. She wanted and needed to feel filled.

The two girls lay on the bed basking in their post-orgasmic glow. They exchanged gentle caresses and soft kisses.

"That was amazing," Rani whispered, her voice soft, not wanting to break the mood.

Reyna played with Rani's long hair. "This was my first time with another girl. I don't know why, but I've wanted you since the day we looked at the video in the back room at your store."

Rani felt her face warm in a blush. "That day. I wanted both you and Luke."

"I was jealous of you," Reyna admitted. "I knew Luke liked you and he wanted you. I was afraid you were going to come between us."

"No!" Rani shook her head. "I would never do that. I feel that all three of us have a place. I really want this."

"I do, too." Reyna kissed Rani on the lips.

"Well, did you enjoy that?" Luke asked Arun.

He gave an enthusiastic nod. "Oh yes. I have never shot a gun before. I've never even held one."

"I'm glad." Luke set both of the handguns on the workbench. "These are just.22's. They're good for learning and just playing around with. Next time we'll go a little bigger, maybe a.380." Luke pointed at the two handguns. "Now we need to clean them. Always clean your weapons after using them. That lesson is as important as the instructions I gave you out there."

Luke retrieved the cleaning kit and sat on one of the stools at the workbench. The first thing we'll do is strip the weapons down. If you don't have the book, the internet will have videos detailing the disassembly and reassembly.

"Here's how we do it." Luke picked up one of the handguns and removed the slide.

Travis Schmidt sucked his rum and coke through a straw. He had sucked his dinner, a protein shake, through a straw earlier. All of his foreseeable meals would be sucked through a straw. His jaw had been broken and was now wired shut.

He seethed. That bitch's boyfriend had done this to him. He pounded his glass on the bar and pointed at his empty drink. Worse was that he couldn't work now. He and his two buddies were supposed to be hauling mining equipment from a closed mine back up to Denver. He couldn't drive as he couldn't use the radio on the narrow mining and logging roads. So he was stuck here while he healed up.

He had tried to get the local cops to file charges on the prick, but they had laughed at him and told him he was lucky he wasn't the one going to jail. They had been told by the bouncer at the bar that he was attempting to abduct a girl when the other man stepped in.

That statement had gotten his wheels turning. He would abduct the bitch, take her somewhere, use her, and then dispose of her. It's what she deserved for what she had done to him. He had returned to the condo in Denver after his weeklong tryst with the Walmart checkout girl only to find that the locks had been changed.

"Sorry, she's changed the locks and given us written notification that you have never resided there and that you were not to be given access if she wasn't around." The manager tried to sound sympathetic, but in truth he just wanted him gone so he could go back to chatting with the cute girl he had just met online.

"I fucking live there and have for six fucking months," he had replied.

The manager typed a few things on his keyboard and then looked up. "No, you haven't; you're not on the lease."

"I need to get in so I can get my things." Travis had complained.

"In her note she told us to tell you, if you came asking, that your things are next to the dumpster."

He had found it all there, neatly stacked in four contractor-sized trash bags.

"A man could only be forced to endure so much." That's what he told himself. He made a list of what he needed. Duct tape, zip ties, rope, chain --he even had a cloth bag he could use for a hood. He wouldn't fuck her or kill her in his truck. He was too smart. He watched all the cop shows and watched as people made mistakes, buying supplies at Walmart, leaving forensic evidence behind. He was much smarter than those people. He wasn't going to get caught.

---

After dinner the four of them sat outside on the patio. It was a beautiful late spring evening. The sun was moving towards the mountains; it would soon slip behind the peaks, and the temperature would drop. Luke was prepared for this; he had chopped wood while the girls had cooked and had prepared the fire pit.

"I don't want to sound insensitive, but I didn't think Indians ate beef?" Luke looked at Rani and Arun. The thought that having steaks could have offended the brother and sister hadn't even occurred to him until they had finished the steaks he had cooked on the outdoor grill.

"We eat beef," Rani explained. "We are Christians, so the cow doesn't have the same significance as it does to most Indians."

"I am relieved; I thought I had made the biggest mistake."

"At home we eat a combination of American and Indian food. We get the best of both worlds," Arun chimed in.

"What's our plan for tomorrow?" Reyna asked Luke.

"The WonderBus is packed and ready to go, but the coach batteries are not holding much of a charge. So I thought after breakfast Arun and I could run into town and get a couple of batteries. We'll pull the old ones out before we leave. It won't take much more than fifteen or twenty minutes to get the new ones installed."

The sky was black now, and as it was in the high country, the air had a definite bite to it. The warmth of the fire was appreciated by all four of them. From up in the mountains came the cry of the wolves.

"Do you think they're close to where we're going?" Rani moved a little closer to Luke.

Luke put his hand over hers and continued staring off towards the black outline of the mountains. "I'm not sure; it does sound like they're in the general vicinity." He looked at Rani. "We'll be okay. We'll make lots of noise, and if worse comes to worse, we will have guns with us."

Reyna stood up. "I think it's time to pack it in. It's getting late, and we have a lot to do in the morning."

"I agree, and I'm feeling tired," Rani agreed as she stood. She wasn't tired; she was just looking for an excuse to be alone with Luke.

After everyone was ready for bed. Luke did his nightly patrol of the house to make sure everything was locked. Rani accompanied him, leaving Arun and Reyna alone.

"Why don't you come to my room?" Reyna looked at Arun. "There are some things I want to talk to you about." She had never really noticed Arun. Sure, she had seen him at the convenience store. It wasn't until today that she really looked at him. He wasn't as tall or as big as Luke, but he was nicely built. Like his sister, he was attractive-looking, sharing some of the same features, but in a more masculine way. Rani had told her that he worked out at the gym on a regular basis.

She pointed at the bed after closing the door. "Go ahead, sit on the bed."

Arun sat on the bed and watched Reyna. "Won't it appear unseemly to my sister and Luke, us being in here behind a closed door?"

Reyna smiled. "I don't think so; I don't think they'll notice."

---

"You don't mind Reyna being with my brother?" Rani searched Luke's eyes.

"No. I don't. She doesn't mind me being with you, so it would be hypocritical of me to object to her being with Arun. She's excited about taking his virginity."

Rani giggled. "It's fitting. You took mine, and she will take his. I am glad he won't be alone tonight; I would have felt a little guilty if he was." Rani's face reddened. "I have watched him masturbate. And I enjoyed it. I hope sometime you will masturbate and let me watch you."

"I'd love to watch you as well."

"Would you?" Rani sounded surprised.

"Yes, I think it's very erotic."

The reddening in Rani's face deepened. "I would like you to watch me." She paused for a moment. "Maybe when I come out here to work with Reyna, the three of us can all masturbate and watch each other."

Luke's cock stiffened; he had been looking forward to being alone with Rani again. He wanted to feel her body next to his, and he wanted to fuck her young eighteen-year-old pussy again. Luke found it to be a huge ego boost to have a young teen girl find him sexually desirable.

---

"Rani tells me you like to masturbate. That you like to jack off into her panties." Reyna watched his eyes open wide, and a glance down at his crotch revealed a fast-growing bulge.

"I, uh, well, I..." Arun didn't know what to say; the words just wouldn't come out.

"It's okay, I think guys who jack off are incredibly sexy, and using her panties just makes it hotter." Reyna licked her lips. "You look like you're getting turned on. Do you want to show me your hard cock?"

Arun nodded. "I do." He stood up and pulled his long sleep boxers down. His stiff erection was at full staff, pointing straight up. The tip already glistened with a little pearl drop of precum.

"Very nice." Reyna almost purred. He did have a nice cock, not as big around or as long as Luke's, but still, a very nice-looking cock. She looked up at him and asked, "Would you like me to touch your cock?"

"Oh, yes!" Arun's answer was enthusiastic. "I would love that!"

---

Rani loved the feeling of Luke's hands touching her. She had been looking forward to this moment since Luke had dropped her off at the store. At night she would close her eyes and touch herself, wishing her hands and fingers were Luke's.

Their lips touched and their mouths opened. Tongues reached out, and the kiss deepened. It was like each was trying to devour the other.

He loved how her young, firm breasts felt in his hand. He could cup the entire breast in his hand. Her nipple was hard in the palm of his hand.

"I'm sorry they are so small." Rani's voice was almost timid.

"No." Luke touched her nose with his finger. "They're perfect. I love how they fit in my hand, and they feel so firm."

He kissed her again. His hands playing with her breasts, fondling and squeezing. She let out a soft moan when he pinched her nipple. There was another moan when he did the same to the other breast. He then pinched and pulled on her nipple.

"Oh yes!" Rani's voice was a sensuous purr. "I love that."

He pinched the other nipple a bit harder and deliberately pulled her nipple even more, watching her for any signs of discomfort. There weren't any.

---

Reyna's hand slowly pumped Arun's cock up and down. "Do you like that?"

"Oh yes. It feels so good." Arun reached out and touched Reyna's breasts and nipples. He loved how they looked. While his sisters breasts were light brown with dark brown nipples, Reyna's were a soft white with dusky pink nipples.

He had touched her without asking, and for a moment he thought he had made a terrible mistake.

"Yes, touch me." Was her reply.

It felt so good, too, good, Before he knew it, he felt the need and the urge to cum. "I'm so sorry, I think I'm going to cum." His face reddened at using sexual language with Reyna.

Her hand tightened its grip, and she sped up her stroking. In a matter of moments his cock looked like a brown fountain spurting white, creamy cum. Spurt after spurt, shooting straight up and landing on his legs and belly.

"I'm so sorry," he apologized.

"Sorry for what?" Reyna knew the answer already.

"For finishing so quickly."

She kissed him on the lips. "That's okay, we'll wait a few minutes and start again. I'll make you hard again. I'll suck your cock for you. Would you like that?"

Arun thought he was going to pass out. He thought he would have to beg, or plead, or bribe a girl to take his member in her mouth. But Reyna had just offered to do it.

---

The room was dimly lit; only a couple of nightlights glowed, marking the path to the bathroom. And it was quiet, only the sounds of two lovers kissing and fondling each other. Whispers, and at times, soft moans were all that broke the silence. And the occasional howl of a wolf in the mountains.

Rani's small hand wrapped around Luke's swollen cock, and she stroked him up and down. She loved how hard she had made him. It gave her a sense of power knowing that he wanted her. She wanted to please him and make him happy. Their age gap excited her. He was experienced in the ways of the world, and she wasn't. He would teach her; he would be her first lover.

His hand played with her hair. "I think you're beautiful."

She blushed, still feeling a bit self-concious. "Thank you." She looked down at her hand pumping his stiff member. Finally, when she had worked up enough courage, she asked, "Luke, can I kiss your cock?"

"I would like that. Have you done it before?"

"No," she replied. "Can I tell you something and have you promise not to laugh or get upset?"

"Why would I laugh at you?" Luke touched her cheek. "Or get upset with you. I like you."

"I wanted to practice on Arun so when I was with you, I would feel I knew what I was doing." She was glad the room was dark; she felt like her face must be glowing bright red.

"But, you didn't?" He asked.

"No."

"So, I'll be your first?"

"Yes."

Luke gave her a soft and gentle kiss on her lips. "I'm glad that I'll be your first. I like that."

"So do I." She had hesitated telling Luke of her plan with Arun, but now she was glad she had told him. "I want to make you cum with my mouth." Just telling him that made her wet with desire.

She leaned down and kissed the head of his cock. Her tongue flicked out, and she tasted the little drop from his tip. She liked the taste.

---

While he recovered, Reyna showed Arun how to touch her, how to rub her clit, and how to finger her. He was a quick learner, Reyna soon discovered, and several times he had her close to orgasm. She touched his soft cock, and it immediately began to respond to her touch.

"Lay back." With a gentle nudge, Reyna pushed Arun down on the bed. As her hand stroked him, he began to grow. She slipped his penis into her mouth and felt it swell. Moving her head back and forth, she continued to feel him swelling to full size.

She removed his penis from her mouth for a moment. "If you feel like moving your hips; it's okay, I like the feeling of you fucking my mouth." Arun responded to her request; his hips pumped in time with her mouth. Reyna was tempted to suck him off; this would be his first blow job, but she decided against that choice with a little reluctance. She told herself there would be more opportunities to pleasure him orally over the next couple of days. Tonight, she would give his cock its first wet cunt to fuck.

---

Luke was surprised at how well Rani was performing oral sex. For a girl on her first try, she was doing remarkably well. She responded to his hips pumping and to his hands in her hair. He would have no problem reaching orgasm with what she was doing. Her mouth felt wet, and she maintained a nice suction on his organ as he pumped in and out and her head bobbed up and down.

He whispered words of encouragement to her. "That feels so good, Rani."

"You can talk dirty to me, call me dirty names as I suck you. I like that." She had paused for a moment and resumed her oral stimulation of his lust-swollen cock. When she had read erotic stories while masturbating, this had turned her on more than anything, the feeling of being used for carnal pleasure by the man.

"Be my teen cocksucker." Luke was surprised at her request and at the same time turned on by it.

Rani moaned on his cock as she heard him, and her free hand was playing with her clit. She loved how he felt in her mouth. She had been worried that she either wouldn't like it or that Luke wouldn't enjoy her attempt to pleasure him orally. It seemed both of her concerns were baseless.

"I want to make you my sex toy; I want to use your mouth to make me cum." He knew if he kept this up that he wouldn't last long.

---

"I want to fuck you." Reyna sat up on Arun's body as her hand took hold of his swollen cock. She guided it to the lust-soaked entrance to her pussy and pushed down, impaling herself on his stiff cock.

Arun moaned as her warm, tight pussy enveloped his aching cock like a hot velvet glove. "That feels so good." His hands reached up and fondled her small breasts.

"Fuck me, baby." Reyna was more turned on than she had been expecting. She loved the feeling of his virgin cock in her pussy. She wanted to fuck him and make him spurt in her pussy. It made her happy that she was his first, a memory he would have as long as he lived.

He moved his hands down to her hips and began to thrust hard, burying his shaft as far as it could go. Reyna leaned down, her hands even with his shoulders. She leaned her head down and began to kiss him.

His tongue was fucking her mouth as his cock was ravaging her sweet cunt. She reached down with her right hand and began to play with her clit. She wanted to cum. She wanted to cum all over his virgin cock.

She was drunk with lust right now; she wished Rani and Luke could see her. "Cum for me, baby, fill me with your creamy jizz."

Her words sent Arun over the edge. He thrust up hard and fast. "I am. I'm cumming..." His voice trailed off as the first spurt of cum left his cock, followed by a second, a third, and two more weaker shots. Her pussy gripped his cock, almost as if it was jacking him off.

His words had the same effect on Reyna; her pussy tightened and then convulsed. "Oh baby, baby, you feel so good." Reyna's orgasm washed over her like a tidal wave. For a few moments she forgot where she was and who she was with.

---

Luke was fucking her mouth while holding her head, moving it back and forth with the thrusts of her hips. He was close to cumming. Part of him wanted to fill her mouth with his cum and another part of him wanted to cum on her face, marking her and claiming her as his and his alone.

Rani had cum once and was fast approaching her second orgasm. She had enjoyed the feeling of Luke's big cock in her pussy, and she loved it in her mouth just as much. Now, she was craving the taste of his cum. She had loved the taste of the droplet on the tip of his cock when he had first entered her mouth.

"Oh, baby!" Luke could feel his impending orgasm. His first shot filled her mouth. Rani reached up with her hand and pulled his cock from her mouth and began stroking him hard and fast. He spurted in her mouth and on her cheeks over and over.

At the same time, Rani was having her second and more powerful orgasm. His first spurt almost gagged her, not because of the taste, but because she was momentarily overwhelmed at the volume of cum on his first spurt.

Her hand stroked him as fast as she could; she felt his warm cum hit her mouth and her cheeks. She loved the feeling of his cum on her cheeks. Now she knows what the women in those stories she had masturbated to felt. She rubbed his rubbery cockhead in the wetness on her lips and cheeks. She smiled up at him as he was looking down at her.

"Was I okay?" Rani asked in a timid voice.

Luke ignored the sticky cum on her lips and kissed her. "You were incredible."

"Do I belong to you now? Now that you have marked me."

"Yes, you are mine, Rani, as long as you want to be mine."

"Good." She snuggled beside him. Rani was happy. She wondered how Arun and Reyna were getting along.

---

Reyna was pleased with herself. She had given this young man the time of his life, and at the same time, she had more than enjoyed it.

"Next time, I want to suck you off, make you cum in my mouth," she whispered to Arun. "I want to take that virginity as well."

"I look forward to it." That was all that Arun could manage to get out. Part of him wanted to remain locked tight in the embrace he was in with Reyna, and part of him wanted to stand on the bed and beat his chest like Tarzan, proclaiming his arrival in the world of being a man.

---

Reyna's face broke into a bright smile when she came into the kitchen and saw Luke, already dressed and standing by the coffee pot. "Good morning!"

Luke looked up from his phone and grinned. "Well, tell me, how was your night?"

She walked up to Luke, put her arms around him, and kissed him on the lips. "Much better than I had hoped for. How about your night?"

"It was fantastic; all that was missing was you!" He had a goofy grin on his face.

Reyna laughed. "Somehow, I don't think you were thinking of me. And that's a good thing." She changed the subject and became a little more serious. "I think the two of them want to have sex, but their mom has been keeping a pretty close eye on the two of them."

Luke nodded as the coffee maker beeped, signaling that the elixir of life was ready to consume. "Yeah, Rani said something about that last night."

"What if we gave them some alone time in the WonderBus and we could find some alone time somewhere else?" Reyna gave Luke a questioning look.

"I like how you think." Luke pulled Reyna close to him and kissed her lips.

"Good morning." A disheveled Arun walked into the kitchen, followed by his sister.

"Is the coffee ready?" Rani winked at Reyna.

The four of them sat around the kitchen table drinking coffee and chatting amiably.

"What's the plan?" Reyna directed her question at Luke.

"I'll finish my coffee, Arun can get dressed, and if you and Rani can make us some breakfast, I'll get those batteries pulled out of the Wonder Bus."

---

At about the same time, Travis Schmidt was sucking his coffee through a straw and not enjoying the experience. He had finished packing what he thought he needed and was pleased at the fact he wouldn't have to purchase anything locally; he had everything he thought he needed.

He had left his pickup down the street, out of sight of the hotel cameras. While at the front desk, he had watched the cameras cycle through and noticed that the camera covering the exit by the pool was malfunctioning.

Before leaving, he had taped the bolt on the door so it wouldn't latch; he had also hung the hanger on the door that said "Do Not Disturb."

He slipped down the stairs and out the side door. Travis had been correct in one thing: the cameras didn't detect his departure from the hotel.

If it hadn't hurt so much, he would have been smiling as he pulled out onto the highway, unnoticed by anyone.

---

"Well, dammit!" Luke exclaimed as he walked into the kitchen.

Reyna looked up at him from the stove. "What's wrong, Luke?"

"I can't get the battery cables off. Arun and I will have to take the Wonder Bus into town and see if Jasper at Western Auto can't do something for us."

"Do you think we'll still be going camping today?" Reyna questioned her cousin.

Ryan nodded his head as he took a drink from his coffee cup. "I don't see why not. We might be delayed an hour or two, but no more."

They sat down to a meal of scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. The four of them chattered happily throughout the meal. When they were finished eating, Reyna stood up and pointed at Luke and Arun. "You two head into town, and Rani and I will clean up."

Luke and Arun got into the Wonder Bus. Luke turned the key, and the Cummins purred to life. He let the motor warm up a little and watched the water temperature, oil, and air pressure gauges. Once he was satisfied that all was normal, he released the brakes and put the transmission in gear.

"Smooth," Arun remarked as they got on the highway.

"It is. For a unit this old, it's in very good shape. Mechanically, it's just entering its prime."

Neither Arun nor Luke took any notice of the gray pickup that passed them going the opposite direction. The driver of the pickup hadn't noticed the motorhome either; his attention had been diverted to the map on his phone.

---

The two girls had finished doing the dishes. "What next?" Rani asked Reyna.

"Let's go out to the cabins and start making up the beds." Reyna looked at a stack of neatly folded linen.

Rani picked up a stack of the sheets in her arms. "I know I shouldn't ask, but how was my brother? I hope he didn't disappoint."

Reyna giggled. "He didn't disappoint at all; he did very well for his first time. Better than I was expecting."

"Is it wrong that I still want to have sex with him?" Rani blushed as she asked.

"I don't think so; I'm having sex with my cousin." She paused for a moment. "Luke and I talked about it. We were planning on giving the two of you some time alone in case you wanted to be together. If you know what I mean."

It was Rani's turn to giggle. "Thank you."

They busied themselves in the cabins making the beds and engaging in girl talk. A tight bond was forming between the two of them, almost like a sisterhood of sorts. Neither of them heard the pickup pull up and park.

Reyna patted the back pocket of her jeans. "I left my cell; let me go grab it in case Luke tries to call."

She walked out of the cabin and turned to the house and noticed the gray truck parked in the driveway. "Maybe it's a customer looking for Luke." She said out loud to herself.

All she saw was a brilliant flash of light, and she felt a searing pain before blacking out.

Travis Schmidt had hit her with a leather sap filled with sand. He immediately covered her head with the hood he had carried, then swiftly he covered her mouth with duct tape. Finally, he tied her hands behind her back with a zip tie and bound her ankles with another.

He carried her to the pickup and put her on the floor of the backseat. He didn't notice the other girl who had just come out of the cabin. His focus was to get out of the driveway and back on the highway.

Rani was too shocked for a few moments to do anything but stand there in disbelief. She sprinted to the house and grabbed her cell phone. She found Luke's cell number and was grateful beyond belief that she had added it in earlier that morning.

"Hello, Rani, what's up?" Luke had answered on the second ring.

"Luke! Help! Someone has abducted Reyna!"
