Skye came in. You sat on the couch and covered your body tightly as he
scooted closer to you. You blushed, thinking, Does he like me? Also...Oh no! I
like them both! What do I do?'

"So Renee, I like your whole new outfit," He grinned here, "In fact, I like
it a little too much."

You blushed, echoeing your thoughts of earlier. Does he like me? You asked
yourself internally, once again. Dammit, I like them both!

You took a chance and eyed him closely. Oh god, he's horny. No, I won't stop
him..I...Ah! What do Ihanks," You smiled shyly, "Muffy helped me pick it
out."

Just then he moved even closer and put his arm around you, then started to
rub your arm, and slowly started to kiss your neck. You couldn't help but let
out a low whine of pleasure. He growled in delight and pushed your knees down
so they were flat, then started to rub your thigh. You found it in your
reserves to push him off.

"I'm sorry Skye," You blubbered, "But I don't know you very well and just
don't think I can. I'm so sorry."

"Fine," He glared, "But I hope you know, you're putting my brother and I
through hell because we're always fighting you and we and we don't know who
you like more. But in the end, one of us will get to you."

He kissed your forehead and left.

'Note to self Skye can be frightening.' The phone rang a second later and
you jumped up to answer it.

"Hello?" You answered.

"Renee!" Muffy breathed. "Hey!"

"What's wrong?" She asked a second later, noting your silence.

You told her all about the Skye thing, from start to finish. She was silent
through all of it. Suddenly, she changed the subject and you both chattered on
about the sleepover. It was going to happen in two days, and you both were
going shopping tomorrow to get the goods and set up the house.

"I've got to go, Muffy." You said later.

"Okay. Bye!" She answered, hanging up before you had a chance to answer.

Your head sunk into the fluffy pillows gratefully, and you went to sleep
quickly.

. . .

The next morning you got up at 6 a.m., as always, and went out to your
crops. You took care of them gently, then cleaned up your field neatly,
smiling triumphantly at your accomplishment.

You had a bit of extra money, so you went to see Vaughn for animals. When
you got there, Skye had left to do some chores.

"Hello?" You called nervously. "Anyone here?"

Just then you felt rough hands ensnare your waist. Turning, you saw Vaughn's
face.

"Hello," He smiled, "How are you, pretty lady?"

"Well," You smiled pleasantly, "I came to buy a sheep."

You realized a second later his hands were still around your waist. Grinning
internally, you decided to mess with him a bit, and 'accidentally' ground your
hips into his lower body, then moved out of the way, teasing. He let out a low
growl.

"So," You smiled t his predicament, "Are you going to show me the sheep?"

"Oh, yeah," His voice was low and sexy. He left, and came back with a sheep
seconds later, but you were eyeing the cute baby one behind him.

"Aww, I want that one!" You declared. It cam running to you, letting out a
gleeful 'Baah!'

"That one can be a gift to you from me," Vaughn smiled down at you. You
jumped up and hugged him tightly. He hugged you back equally, but, realizing
what you were doing, you let go in a hurry. His eyes, that had been shining a
second earlier, dulled.

"Sorry," You apologized, "But I have to go meet my friends. I'm taking a
tour of the town. I was...uhm...wondering...if you would like to come over to
my house tomorrow. Muffy, Eve, and I are a sleepover and I'm cooking dinner,
so yeah..."

Your words came out in a jumbled rush, tripping over each other.

"Sure, I will come, but on one condition, pretty lady." Vaughn's voice held
a rough, sexy edge to it.

"What?" You asked nervously. He walked up very closely to you.

"I want to sleep in your bed." He purred.

"Well, we'll have to see." Your voice was shaking, and you left in a hurry.

You walked around town a bit, just trying to get used to the new people and
buildings. There weren't many people in the small town, and some just simply
lived in the inn, or in town, just like Kai and Rick, who hated each other.

Raising your eyes from the gravelled ground, your eyes clashed with Muffy's
before you realized her boyfriend was standing beside her.
