Not Bad for an Amateur (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) by Lynn Ray Lewis Page B

stained glass over the regular rectangular windows and the walls were a warm sandstone color. Sage green curtains and bedding completed the look of warmth. Lily laid her hands on the big bed and tested the mattress. She could curl up in the middle of that bed and sleep like a baby. There was a fireplace with pipes sticking out into the room for extra warmth when there was a fire going in the grate. She loved this room.
    The master bathroom was huge, the flooring was smooth stone-colored tile, and the walls were a beautiful gray with a green tint. There was a hot tub that seemed to double as a bathtub, there had to be close to a hundred water jets recessed into the fiberglass sides. There were seats and a higher, wide shelf that a person could sit on and just dangle their feet if they wished. Lily knew she would wallow like a pig in mud in that tub. It was almost big enough for her to swim in. If this was to be her room, she was going to enjoy that tub tonight.
    The men met in the study and read through the hundred or so pages of the report that Lily handed them when they got home. Hours later they could only look at each other. The wolf that they thought was a victim could very well be one of the bad guys. All three were suspect and would be treated as such. Joel called to the infirmary and told the nurse to have the wolf restrained also.
    A search of the wrecked pickup showed that the vehicle was property of the forestry service, but the twins knew that the Glock and the two Sigs were not government Issue. Neither were the two AK-47s. There were two cell phones that were prepaid throwaways, and one that was a smart phone with information no one knew how to access. Jim sent his sister Ruby to get Lily. She knew about computers and maybe she could get more information from the devices.
    Lily opened the bedroom door to see a beautiful young girl with the prettiest brown hair and trusting brown eyes that she had ever seen before. Ruby introduced herself and told her that the Alpha requested her assistance in the study as soon as it was convenient for her to come. Lily smiled and walked with the tall, slender beauty.
    As they walked down the hallway and through the house, Ruby explained that she was the sister that the twins loved to treat as their errand girl. There was no malice when she said it, only a rueful acknowledgement of her brother’s bossy natures.
    Lily learned a great deal in the short walk. Ruby liked to chat. She gave Lily a brief, but information filled family dynamic as they walked.
    Ruby was the Alpha’s youngest sister. She was the last of the five children that the Logan family had before the elders retired to Canada, choosing to live together in the wild until then end came for both of them.
    They were bonded mates, and when one took the last breath of life, the other would follow within days if not hours. Normally Weres lived until almost double a human’s life span. Sadly the patriarch had lost the battle with prostate cancer. It was just a matter of time before both elder Logans would pass this realm into the spirit wind to run free again.
    Ruby left Lily at the door to the study and promised to get together to have a nice long girl chat soon. Lily tapped on the door and then walked in. The handsome men looking at her almost took her breath away. Both were wearing T-shirts and jeans, both had bulging biceps and wide, thickly muscled chests and shoulders. The two men would make a professional prostitute blush from the way they looked at a woman. They smiled, and she knew she would do just about anything to keep those approving smiles coming her way. Lily had a feeling that they knew how potent they were.
    “We need your help with this electronic stuff, Lily, I bought this expensive desktop set up a few months ago believing I could figure it out, but right now all I can use it for is a expensive paperweight. I know a little about computers but not enough.” Joel smiled at her and handed her a new
