Authors: Storm Riders
Georgina awoke the next day and found the bed empty. She didn’t feel any different. She got up, dressed, and looked for her two lovers. Her body hummed from where they had touched her and everything felt right. Her clothes were folded neatly on the chair and she noticed they had been cleaned. She showered, put them on, and headed into the kitchen to find the woman she’d run into the other day.
“Ahh, hi.”
The woman met her eyes. “You’re George right?”
She nodded. “Yeah. Who are you?”
“Gina. I work for the guys. They told me to tell you that they had some business to do so you could stick around or they’d catch up with you later.” She nodded. “Thanks.”
Not really wanting to hang out with a woman she didn’t know, she decided to head back to her house. Instead, she found herself driving to the campus. When she got there, she examined her equipment which was still laid out. Her weather experiments hadn’t determined if there was a way to mimic her experiences.
“Hey, George, I’ve been wondering where you were.” Jeremy stood in the doorway. She smiled. “Hey. What’s been going on?”
“Nothing. I was just going over some of the data. We got some promising readings from the electric static change in the air. Only a little bit, but it’s good.” She was thinking about what the guys had told her concerning giving up her lifestyle. There had 101
to be a way she could balance her life. If she had found a way to have both men, then she wasn’t going to give up teaching or trying to find an early warning system.
“Thanks. You have what you’ve recorded so far?”
“Yeah. It’s on the laptop and my notes are there.” He pointed to the desk.
She scooped them up and patted her assistant on the shoulder. “Thanks. I’ll take these home and look at them. Can you cover my classes for the next couple of days? I’ll email you the schedule and stuff. Nothing too heavy. Freshmen and one sophomore session.”
“Sure.” He was always looking for ways to impress her.
“Thanks.”
She left the campus and took the information back to her house to analyze. Pulling into her driveway, a prickling went down her spine. She studied the skies, but didn’t see anything. She got out and heard a whinny behind her. When she turned, a large black Clydesdale studied her with coal black eyes. The angel, Daniel, had been riding this same horse. She put her stuff down on the porch and went back to the horse. Once she placed her hand on it, a strong jolt went through her.
“You’re a beauty.”
She turned and saw Daniel standing beside the stallion. He patted him and came around to face her. “I assume you’re talking about the horse?” He smiled. “No, beautiful. I’m talking about you. You’ve tamed two of the hardest men I’ve ever met. This is your reward.”
She snorted. “My reward is becoming a Rider so you don’t punish or kill either of them.”
He shrugged. “I don’t make the rules. Of course rules are made to be broken.”
“So what happens now?”
Daniel shrugged. “You’re a Rider now. You ride the storms. Keep your life until you have to move on and do something else. We’re not going to stop you from researching storms, just don’t expose what you are. As long as you keep the secret, 102
you’ll be fine. Well, you have a good ride. I’ll see you around. Oh, his name is Hurricane. He’s a handful.”
The angel strolled off and vanished. She glanced back at the horse and felt a presence press upon her mind. She touched the stallion once more. Another blast of air went through her. She could sense him with her and now he was something more elemental. “Hurricane, hmm. That’s a good name. You think you can deal with me?”
Only if you can deal with me. If the others don’t treat you right, then they have to deal with
me.
George heard his thoughts. “What does that mean?” He snorted.
It means I’ll kick their asses if they hurt you and I can pull rank on their
mounts. I’m their elder.
“So then why not hook up with Landon since he got a promotion?”
He’s not my type and I’ve been waiting for you. We only bond with one Rider. And you’re
it. Besides I see us having a good future. So you ready to ride?
A breeze stirred her hair. Thunder rumbled in the distance. When she glanced at the sky, it was clear, her instincts said a storm was developing. It was a tickling deep inside of her, but her bones weren’t aching or weighed down anymore. A smile spread across her face and the excitement was already coursing through her.
“You might have to help me get up on you. I’ve never ridden before.”
Don’t worry, you won’t fall unless I want you to.
“You ready?”
George glanced over and saw Wyatt and Landon atop their steeds. Both were dressed in jeans, dusters, and hats. Landon slid off his horse and walked over to her. He wrapped his arms around George. Once his hands touched her flesh, she was hit with that peace again and a flood of power so intense that she nearly had an orgasm right there.
“That is a big horse for a tiny thing like you. You sure you can ride him?” George trailed her finger down his middle. “I rode you big boy and that one over there.” She kissed him and cupped his groin. He stirred under her touch.
“You don’t want to do that. Maybe later.” He returned the kiss.

She felt something go on top of her head, a hat. She turned and Wyatt flashed her a smile. She leaned into him and gave him a kiss too.
“Hey, beautiful. You having a good day?”
“Are you going to help me up so I can figure out what exactly we do?” Both men reached to help her and then frowned. She laughed and grabbed both of their shoulders and had them settle her. Once she swung her leg over Hurricane’s side, she wound her fingers through his mane. Now that they were connected she felt the storm brewing inside of her. It was going to be a crazy ride.
She watched the men she loved sit atop their horses. Seeing them, she understood she was now complete and the hole she’d had inside of her for so long was now filled.
The other horses neighed and pawed the ground stirring mini cyclones with their hooves.
She sensed the amusement in her steed.
You want to give them a run for their money?
I like your train of thought. Hold on. I’ll take the lead for now until you get the hang of
things. Don’t let those two doofs tell you wrong even if Landon’s now your boss.
Hurricane reared and when his feet hit the ground, thunder rumbled in her mind. And then he was off and running. The shouts of the other riders sounded behind her as they tried to catch up. When she heard them, she knew this was indeed going to be just the beginning for a new and fascinating chapter in her life with two devoted men who were always going to be chasing her.
