Rescue Party Read Free Page B

of the time when she got adventurous, she ended up embarrassed. They might be flirting and playing nice to relax her, but that didn’t mean it was real.
    “I play it safe. That’s my nature.” She watched the fire for a bit so they wouldn’t think she was leering at them.
    “Nothing wrong with safe,” Steve said.
    The radio crackled. “Weather update! Lucky Springs is experiencing flash floods. The mayor has asked all residents to stay where they are if safe. If you are on low-lying ground or experiencing flooding, please call 911 or the fire station. Most roads are nearing a foot deep in water and dangerous to drive on. Stay inside and tuned to this station for more updates.”
    “That’s that. I’ll make some sandwiches. Clay, be nice to our guest,” Steve said.
    “I’m a guest, too,” Clay returned as he felt her feet again. “Warming up nicely.”
    Kacy shook her head. “You don’t live here? You seem quite at home.”
    “I still have a place at my uncle’s. Some cousins are staying there, too. I don’t move too fast.” Clay slid his hands up her calves.
    The hot touch made her gasp, but she pressed her lips together. Once in control again, she smirked at him. “You don’t move fast with men and good girls. Just the wild girls?”
    “They don’t mind. You don’t like me?” He massaged his way down her legs and feet until he rubbed her red polished toes.
    “I don’t know you as an adult. Wild teenage boys aren’t what I wanted for me or my sisters.” Kacy had a habit of honesty. Why couldn’t she play the flirt and be coy as easily as other women? She just lacked the player gene.
    “What do you want now?” He looked her in the eye.
    She lifted a shoulder. “Good girls don’t have a lot of options.”
    “A beautiful, smart woman has unlimited options. You just have to want it and believe it’ll work.” He leaned in and kissed her lips.
    The sizzle in the air caught her in a web of heat. She kissed him and ran her hand over his chest down to his abs. “I’m not sure it’ll work.”
    “Me either but those two are good at making things work.” Clay kissed her cheek. “I’ve grown more patient. No rush.”
    “That’s progress.” She leaned back and admired his nearly naked body. All three of them bisexual? The possibilities were endless.

    “We’re going to pack some emergency stuff in the truck in case we need to move.” Clay carried a plastic tub toward the door.
    Dean followed with another. “If we’re good here, we can take it to the gym tomorrow for people who can’t get back into their homes.”
    “Flood waters take forever to clean and dry. A lot of people will be displaced.” Kacy shook her head.
    “If they get to the fixes fast, it won’t be so bad. Priority one is everyone’s safety.” Steve nodded. “I’ll throw together some sandwiches. We need to eat and get some rest if we’re going to help people tomorrow. The wind is picking up out there. Get the truck loaded and tie the stuff down.”
    “I’ll help with the food.” Kacy stood up.
    Steve led the way to the kitchen as the other guys went outside. “You okay, Kacy?”
    “Sure. It’s just weird. This kind of weather doesn’t happen in Lucky Springs. And Clay being bisexual? If we weren’t going to be helping people all day tomorrow, I’d ask you to break open a bottle of wine and explain it all.” She opened a loaf of bread.
    Steve grabbed lunchmeat and cheese from the fridge. “We’re all bisexual. Dean and I don’t advertise it. It just took Clay longer to figure it out and accept it.”
    “He was such a player in high school.” She went to work making sandwiches as if it were the picnic for her family reunion. “Now he’s so different.”
    “The Army Reserve helped him mature. When he came back to town, he was a different guy. Still hot,” Steve said. He had seen the way she looked at all of them. “Don’t worry, you’ll be safe.”
    “Safe? I’m not
