Previously:

Jax had moved both hands to her hips to assist her movements, as Ranger expertly flicked her throbbing bundle of nerves.They all came at once, and Stephanie had little time to recover before Ranger was pulling her off Jax and into his embrace. They lay like that for a while, Ranger and Stephanie's spooning bodies facing Jax and Syn in the same position, untileach closed their eyes and drifted off to sleep.

"Restricted Membership"

Chapter Seven

"Alone Time"

Stephanie woke to three pairs of hands roaming over her body. Ranger was behind her, kissing her neck and nudging her from behind with his hard length. She was breast to breast with Syn again, and her hands were at the juncture of Stephanie's thighs, caressing. Jax's hand was between both of their breasts, stroking each woman's nipple simultaneously.

Getting in the game, Stephanie moved her hand between Syn's legs, which she spread obligingly. Each woman slid a finger in at the same time. Stephanie groaned when Syn curved her finger and massaged the soft, spongy part of her vagina.

"That's it, Babe, let go. Just feel."

Decadent, sinful, erotic, and sensational. All those words and more filled her head and senses as the three bodies took her on an incredible journey, stroking and petting. When she exploded, Syn removed her hand, and it was replaced immediately with Ranger's huge, hard cock as he penetrated her deeply.

Ranger rocked into her, forcing her body against Syn's as Jax did his own rocking. Boldly, she reached out to stroke Syn's clit as their men rode them from behind. She and Syn mirrored each other's actions as they played with the other woman's nipples and clit. Stephanie's orgasm was explosive, as Syn's mouth covered hers and their tongues tangled.

She woke again later, her body entwined with Syn's. Syn must have felt her move, because she opened her eyes.

"Afternoon, sleepyhead."

Stephanie laughed, because she knew Syn had been asleep, too.

"Ranger and Jax went to get ready to leave. We're going out on the yacht for the next several days. We thought it would be more private and….lots of fun."

They both got up and headed for the shower. It now seemed natural that they'd shower together. After a bit of fun and some relief, they stumbled out of the shower and got ready.

In shorts that were really too short to wear in public and tight tank tops that exposed their navels, they went to find the men. Ranger and Jax both smiled appreciatively, and walked over to greet first their own woman, and then the other. All the kissing and touching should have made Stephanie uncomfortable, but it didn't; not when all three were looking at her with equal desire. Her panties would be wet if she'd been wearing any.

"Babe," Ranger replied with a growl.

"Ooops. Out loud?" She just shrugged at his nod, seemed like her embarrassment had flown the coop.

It was late by the time they arrived at the marina and boarded the boat. Ranger showed Stephanie to their room, and then went to help Jax with getting the boat out of the marina. Stephanie unpacked, briefly noting that Ranger hadn't packed any panties or bras for her. Surely he didn't expect her to go without underwear the entire time... Then she got to the swimsuits.

Ranger walked in about the time she was holding up one of the scraps of material that could laughingly be called a bathing suit.

"Uh uh. No way, no how. I am not wearing this," she said, shaking her head.

"Babe, you've been naked with everyone on this boat. It's not like it will be staying on you very long anyway."

He gave her a seductive leer, and she huffed, tossing the offending garment into the dresser. He was probably right. They'd come out here to have sex, and lots of it, so they'd all be comfortable with each other when it was time for the big show. Still, it was a thong, for crying out loud.

Ranger came up behind her and pulled her back against his chest. Tenderly, he asked, "You okay?"

Her heart melted at the concern in his voice. He'd done a good job of hiding his feelings today.

"Yeah. You?"

He let out a sigh. She wasn't sure if it was a sigh of relief or regret. "Yeah. But we're going to have dinner and then come back down here alone. I need to have you to myself for a while."

She nodded. "That sounds like a perfect idea."

Dinner was delicious. Fresh sea bass, oysters and shrimp cocktail was the perfect meal to have as they drifted out to sea. Ranger and Jax had to take turns steering the boat, but dinner was good and the conversation flowed. There were no overtures about the morning's events, and Stephanie found she was comfortable with both Jax and Syn in the relaxed setting.

After dinner, Ranger helped Jax anchor the boat into a secluded cove, then took Stephanie for a stroll around the upper deck. They stood by the rail and watched the waves as the moonlight cast shadows over the peaks and valleys. When Ranger caught Stephanie's second yawn, he led her downstairs to their room.

Ranger slowly began to remove her clothes, then his.

"I want you writhing beneath me. Just me. Today, well, I don't know what to say really, aside from thank you for doing this job. I know it's not easy for you to step out of your comfort zone. I just hope that we're going to be okay when all of this is over."

Stephanie trailed a hand down his abs and around to his sculpted ass. "We're going to be okay. We have to be. I can't live without you anymore, Ranger."

"Ric. Will you call me Ric when it's just you and me? Please," he said softly.

She heard the hope in his voice. "Yes, Ric."

He eased her down onto the bed, and pulled her to him, inhaling her scent. "I love you, Stephanie."

"I love you, too, Ric," she murmured.

He made love to her with a tenderness and sweetness that had tears streaming down her face when she came. The aftershocks of the intense emotional connection gripped her.

"I know, Babe. I feel the same."

They clung to each other as they floated to sleep. Several times during the night, he would reach for her and repeat the entire process over. Each time, they made love slower and with more tenderness than before. If she hadn't already been in love with him, she would have been after that night. He'd entirely opened himself up to her and allowed her entrance into not just his heart, but his soul.

Stephanie heard the door to their room open, and blinked open her eyes just as Ranger entered the room. He was carrying a tray of food.

"What time is it?" Her voice was gruff from lack of sleep. Ranger had kept her busy most of the night.

"A little after eleven. I let you sleep in, since I was responsible for keeping you up half the night. I've brought brunch."

She grinned up at him. He knew her so well, and letting her sleep in was just one of the small ways he always showed it. That, and the fact that he came bearing gifts, had her smiling from ear to ear.

While Stephanie ate, Ranger lounged on the bed and ran his hands up and down her naked back.

"There'll be none of that. I want to get some sun."

He gave her a smirk. "That's not what you were saying at three this morning. I think it was more along the lines of 'more Ranger, I need more of you'."

She swatted at him. What? Could she help it if she was a nympho? Or that he had a body to die for, or moves... dear Lord, did he have moves.

"You know, if you go sun bathe, you're going to have to wear one of those thongs," he teased.

Stephanie turned and caught the twinkle in his eyes. Oh, shit, she'd forgotten about the thongs. Then she thought of Syn, and whether or not she'd have on a thong, too. The image of Syn's pert little bottom sheathed in nothing but a thin strip of material flashed in her mind. Suddenly, the idea wasn't quite so repulsive anymore. In fact, if she'd been wearing any panties, they'd be a little wet.

Speaking of panties. "Ranger, why didn't you pack me any underwear?"

He was drawing little circles around the crevice of her behind when she asked about her underwear. "You don't need any. They'll just get in the way, and one of us would have to rip them off." He leaned in to press several kisses to the area he'd been caressing.

When she felt his intent, she skirmed. "Hey, now, you know I don't go for no butt stuff." She hated to admit it, but his activities had felt pretty nice. She felt him freeze. "What is it Ranger?"

Oh, hell, he'd thought she'd understood that 'that' was part of 'this'. How the hell did he tell her that she was really going to have to 'step way out of her comfort zone'? She'd been a real trooper with everything she'd had to do so far. This was something they hadn't talked about. Fuck, he was such a moron. He should have laid it all out there in plain English before they came down here.

If she balked now, it was too late to find somebody else. The initial steps had been taken. Their covers had already been established with the club and there was no way that he could or would bring somebody else in at this point. Could they pull this off without her participation in that type of penetration? Maybe….maybe not, he wasn't sure. This group expected their members to be free about all types of sex. They'd have to show the group that they were into exactly that type of experience.

Ranger was taking too long to answer her question about what was wrong. Then she started replaying her previous words. Holy Hell. She'd never thought she'd have to do that. Could she? After Dickie…no…she wouldn't think about that fiasco. He'd been rough and selfish. Ranger was none of those things. If she let him, he'd be gentle and never do anything to hurt her.

She let out a deep sigh. "So, um….we're going to have to do that?" She felt him nod against her back. Okay, she could handle this. Maybe.

Neither said anything else as he took her tray and set it aside. He helped her up, and led her to the small and cramped bathroom. Ranger turned on the water and adjusted the temperature.

"Take a shower and come join us when you're ready."

He couldn't face her right now. He felt like such a shit for getting her into this. Now he was going to have to do something with her that went totally against what she enjoyed in the bedroom.

"Wait, Ranger. It's okay. I guess you should know that I have done that before. Um…with the Dick. It just wasn't a pleasant experience. But….I think that if you're really careful with me, and it's just you….that maybe it will be alright."

He did look into her eyes then. What he saw made his heart constrict with all the love he felt for her. There was fear, but determination. God, he loved her. He gave her a nod, and then turned to leave.

"Stay."

He couldn't refuse her, never could. Even though he'd already taken a shower and the space was cramped, he began to undress. They didn't make love. However, they loved. Tender caresses and slick skin moved together as they kissed and held onto each other. Supporting and loving was what this shower was about.

After their unusual shower, Ranger stepped out of the stall and grabbed two towels. He handed one to her for her hair and then used the other to dry her off. Stephanie knew something had happened in the shower that neither of them had expected. If asked, she'd have had to say that if you could have an orgasm without actually having an orgasm, that's what had happened. It had been an orgasm of the heart. The way they'd moved against each other was nothing but sensual and erotic. The love that radiated from each of them as they kissed and touched could be felt swirling about them just as the steam from the hot water had.

Ranger took his time helping her on with the miniscule bathing suit. Then he slid on a pair of trunks and picked up a bottled of natural sunscreen with green tea. While he slathered her entire body with the lotion, he explained how he felt about the chemicals in sunscreen.

"Besides, this one is nontoxic and…edible." He gave her his wolf grin as he slid his hand inside her top to coat her milky white breast.

He grabbed two beach towels and opened the door, leading her up the galley and onto the deck. When they stepped out the door, she knew their alone time was officially over and two very important pieces of information. First they were overdressed and second….the game had begun.
