“Or Red, and that would be embarrassing,” she scolded them.
“Red doesn’t go skinny-dippin’, Cass. Besides, he’s not home today. He went fishing with some friends and won’t be back until late tonight,” Memphis told her.
She gave a sexy expression over her shoulder.
“Hmm, maybe you two will get lucky then.”
Orlando smacked her ass. “We’ll be getting lucky, multiple times if you’re a good girl.”
She chuckled. “You’re so cocky. We should make a bet, and then the winner gets to decide a prize.”
“Ahh, she’s feeling like gambling with us, Orlando. What do you think?” Memphis asked.
“I think she’s going to regret this in about twenty minutes from now,” he said, and Memphis chuckled.
“Really? Name the challenge, and we’ll see who will be regretting what,” she said.
Memphis made some noise like a howl.
“Forward flip off Devil’s Peak,” Orlando stated.
Memphis was shocked. Devil’s Peak was a high piece of rock that sat above the swimming hole over the deepest part of the water hole. There was a long rope, and you had to climb partially up a tree then swing all the way and jump.
“Tell me what that is,” she asked.
“Oh no, then you’ll chicken out. We have to set the rules first,” Orlando continued, and Memphis laughed.
By the time they made it to the swimming hole, Orlando had this game set so, no matter what, he and Memphis would have their way with Cassidy. In the water, out of the water, hell, on Devil’s Peak. He smiled as he went along with it and knew this was going to be the best day at the swimming hole ever.

Cassidy tried hiding her smile as Memphis and Orlando conspired together. She couldn’t help the excitement bubbling in her belly. These two were so sexy. Everything about them had her more than willing to go skinny-dipping with them. But she wouldn’t let them know that.
They came into a more secluded area along a dirt pathway through the woods. The trail inclined, and she could hear the water flowing below and caught glimpses of the swimming hole through the trees. The moment they stepped through the opening, she gasped.
It was beautiful. There were small natural waterfalls, nothing too big but enough to make the tranquil sounds that only waterfalls could make.
“This is gorgeous. I can’t believe this is part of your property. No one else can enjoy this but you guys?” she asked, following them down the small patch of grass, where they set their things down. She put down her bag and stepped closer. She could see the steppingstones leading to the bottom of the path by the water’s edge. The water was crystal clear.
Memphis wrapped his arms around her waist. “Only the women we bring down here get to enjoy this swimming hole,” he teased.
She maneuvered out of his hold.
“Oh, really? So this isn’t someplace special for just us? I’m not the first woman you’ve brought here?” she asked, giving him an attitude.
He snagged an arm around her waist as she pretended insult and tried walking away.
“Get back here, woman. You know I’m teasing you,” he said with that sexy smile. Those dark tattoos stared at her from his bare, muscular chest. She was so in love with these men it didn’t even matter to her who they were with before. They were here with her now, and boy, was she getting aroused.
Memphis ran his hand along her ass and gave it a tap. “You up for the challenge, sweetheart, or do you just want to give up right now and strip for us?”
“You wish, cowboy.” She pulled his cowboy hat from his head and ran a few feet away. She placed it onto her own head and stared at the two of them.
“You two go first, and I’ll follow,” she told them.
Orlando smiled wide as he took off his sneakers. The man’s body was a work of art. She licked her lips, and he eyed her over as if he knew he was hot and she was susceptible to his charms. She slowly unclasped her jean shorts, stepped from her flip-flops and discarded her shorts. Then she slid the tank top off, letting it fall to the ground with her shorts, keeping Memphis’s hat on her head.
Both men watched her with hunger in their eyes.
