"This gives me the creeps," Hunter said over his shoulder. "Give me a dirty, smelly city any day."

"You need to think bigger," I told him. "I'd rather be between Lila's legs than here or a city." For one thing, she smelled better and was better looking.

"If you're not careful, people are going to start to think you're the sensible twin," he teased.

"Fuck that," I shot back. "That's your domain. I'm the goofy, better looking, but surprisingly smart one. With the bigger cock." With all of that, who needed to be sensible? Not me. I was more than happy to leave that to him.

"I'll give you goofy." He looked back and grinned. "The rest… I think all the drugs they've given you have messed with your brain."

He'd turned back the way we were headed so I said, "Consider yourself flipped off." I didn’t want him to miss out on that.

He chuckled in response. "Love you too, bro."

We walked in silence for a while, some unspoken sense that we must be close to the road. Or close to— Something. What the hell we'd do when we got there, I didn't know. We were us, we'd figure something out. We were nothing if not resourceful.

"What do you think she's doing right now?" Hunter asked after a few minutes.

"Judging by the position of the sun, she's in class," I replied. "Unless it's later than I think it is. In which case, she's probably naked and wet in the shower."

We both groaned at the mental image of our queen naked, water dripping down her glorious body. I almost felt her mouth around my cock. I heard sucking and moaning sounds from between her lips. Thinking about her made me hard, my balls tight and heavy. The things that woman could do with her mouth. There was no one in the world like her.

"I don't know what I want more right now, to eat her or to eat a hamburger," Hunter said wistfully. "I think it's a tie."

Yeah, I would have liked something to eat right about now too. I might even go as far as to prioritise food over Lila's pussy. I was that hungry.

Hunter held up a hand. "There's a bigger shed in front of us. And a dam if you're feeling thirsty enough."

I was that thirsty, to be honest. I stepped up behind him and peered over his shoulder.

"And a gate beyond that shed." I nodded forward. "Here's where you tell me we're going to have to wait until dark, aren't you?"

He glanced up towards the sky. "It should only be a couple of hours."

I sighed with annoyance, but sat back down amongst the bushes to wait.

CHAPTER4

PARKER

"It's empty." I peered in through the grimy window. The windows had no curtains, enabling me to see all the way across to the window on the opposite side. The moon was high enough to illuminate the inside of the large shed.

"It looks like someone was here recently, but they're gone now." Foldout beds were stacked in a corner, alongside a pile of what looked like thin blankets and towels.

"Ah," Hunter replied. "No prizes for guessing what Caleb uses this for."

Our brother's favourite pastimes included smuggling. Whether it was people, drugs or guns, he had his hands in it. Heading up that side of the family operation let Reuben keep his hands clean. Clean of that, anyway. Reuben preferred to dirty his hands in other ways.

"What are the chances they keep a spare key in there?" I mused. "Or a sandwich?"

"Judging by the apparent lack of anyone around, it wouldn't hurt to try to find out," Hunter said. "Maybe we can find a chainsaw, or something to get these fucking cuffs off."

He stepped around to the door and turned the knob. The door swung open silently.

"They don't believe in locking things around here, do they?"

"I suspect they're more interested in keeping people in here, not out," I suggested. I followed him inside, stepping carefully over the concrete floor.

It only took us a minute or two to come to the same conclusion. The place was empty of tools, or food. I managed to take a drink from a tap that hung over an old sink, but I almost got as much on myself as I did in my mouth. It was worth it.
