    “You wanted this. Tell me how you did.”
    “I’m at three minutes.”   I gave him my gun.
    “Let me know when you’re thirty seconds under.”
    I pouted more and crossed my arms.
    He smacked my butt.
    “Go on before you lose daylight.” 
    I went back in the hanger.
    I walked out almost two hours later. 
    Scott’s men went in to pull the stuff apart.
    This was our last day here.
    Billy was hugged up with that girl.
    What’s her damn name?
    She wore a short skirt and lots of make-up. 
    She sucked on a bright red lollipop.
    Cherry. The name and candy was for effect.
    She wanted to look much younger than she was.
    Hell she was at least thirty.
    I shook my head.
    Scott always had women around.
    They would be there awhile and then gone.
    I knew working girls when I saw them.
    We pick our poison. Billy chased woman and probably caught more than he bargained for. He would be balls deep in hurt in a few days. I shook my head. I love my brother but after this I’m done. I didn’t blame him for all of it. I had a part in it.
    We can’t right our wrongs but we can start over.
    Ramsey leaned against the car.
    I estimated the distance.
    I did a running jump with the last strength I had.
    He tossed his phone on the car hood and caught me.
    I put my arms around his neck.
    “I hit the time, four times!” 
    “Good, what’s your fastest time?”
    He put his arm under my butt. 
    “2.28” I sighed.  “I missed you.”
    “It was two days.” He laughed.
    “You went almost two years without me.” 
    I tried to push him away.
    His passionate kiss left my speechless.
    “Darlin I missed you too.”  He murmured.
    “But it’s true; you can survive on your own.”
    “I don’t want to.” I said. “I want to be with you.” 
    “Then don’t leave.” 
    “I won’t.” I said softly.
    He put me on my feet.
    I got in the car. 
    I waited until we were on the road.
    “How did it go?” 
    “It’s an old fashion bank, shouldn’t be hard.” 
    “Okay.” I relaxed in the seat.
    “I talked to Miles. He misses you.” 
    “I let him down.”
    “You didn’t. He knows this was me and Billy. ”
    I shook my head. “I’m worried about them.”
    “Greg and my boys are there and the local fellas stop in to check on things too. Miles said Greg is teaching the girls how to shoot. They’re using low caliber guns but he’s scared half to death.” 
    “He should be.” I laughed. 
    “And the sheriff was nervous but now he plays cards with the boys in one of the booths. He said he’s never seen a gang or club of outlaws so respectful.” 
    I laughed so hard I cried.
    Sheriff Wilson was a real piece of work.
    I wiped my eyes. My friends are safe. Billy was …well Billy. I was with Ramsey. It wasn’t the best situation but I couldn’t ask for more.
    We drove to the hotel in a comfortable silence. We had a beautiful suite and the bathroom made me think of the cabin in Montana.
    I followed him to the bathroom. He ran our bath. His presence made me feel ultra-feminine. I put my hair into a bun. He turned off the water.  I squealed as he came for me. I let him undress me. I stood in front of him naked. His eyes filled with lust. I watched him take off his clothes. Ramsey stepped into my space and like always, he was my world. I touched his chest and he swept me into his arms. In one quick thrust he was buried deep inside of me. I cried out as the heat intensified. His slow grind made me frantic. It was the perfect balance of pressure, pleasure, and pain. He kissed the base of my neck and confessed his love for me. He thrust deeper and I rode him harder. I fell into the emotion and my orgasm came. I wanted more but he pulled out. Ramsey stepped into the tub and eased down with me in his arms. His strength and balance was insane. I sighed when I felt the cool rush of water and then heat. The water swept over us and I settled into his arms. Ramsey ran the sponge across my skin in between caresses. His voice
