It wasn’t long before she felt an orgasm coming. He was so good at pulling them out of her. It almost seemed too easy for him.
“Oh, Grant,” she moaned as he picked up the pace. He was squeezing her hips and pulling her into each stroke when her whole body tensed and then let go. With a loud cry, the orgasm tore through her as he rooted in deep and released as well.
Amélie threw her head back and gasped as her legs shook and her body erupted in waves of heated pleasure.
There’s no going back to Quebec, she thought as he picked her up and cradled her to his chest as he sat back down in his chair. This was her home now.
Right here in Grant’s arms.
She was home.
Amélie’s mother and sister were recovering surprisingly well. They were staying in Bryce’s cabin for the time being until the Canadian embassy could get their Passport situation figured out. She still hadn’t told them that she wasn’t planning on returning to Quebec.
“Hello,” she said, knocking on the door as she walked into the cabin. Elodie turned the TV off and smiled when she saw her walk in. “Is Maman ready?”
“I’m ready,” her mother said with a brave smile as she walked into the room. She had it in her hand—a lock of their father’s hair. All they had left of him.
Amélie’s mother managed to cut a piece of his hair before they took his dead body away. She kept it for over a year, but now it was time to let it go.
The three of them hiked up a mountain trail to a gorgeous spot that she had found when she was hiking with Grant. It was a cliff that overlooked a spectacular valley—just the sort of place that her father would have loved.
They never had the chance to have a proper ceremony, a proper burial, a proper anything for him while in General Hunt’s custody. This wasn’t perfect, and it was long overdue, but their father would have understood. Amélie knew he loved his girls more than anything.
“I love you, Alain,” her mother said as tears started rolling down her cheeks. “Every day I miss you.” She removed a few strands of hair from the lock and tossed it over the edge of the cliff, sniffing and crying as the wind took it and carried it down below.
“I miss you, Papa,” Elodie said with a quivering chin as she took a piece of his hair and dropped it over the cliff.
She handed the rest of the hair to Amélie whose heart was aching in her tight chest. How can I say goodbye?
The hair was so soft between her fingers and it brought back a flood of memories—sinking her hands in it as a little kid as her dad carried her on his broad shoulders. She had felt invincible up there with him protecting her. She remembered being a kid and watching him style it in the mirror with gel and laughing as he gave himself a mohawk to make her laugh, and the time when he started freaking out over it turning gray and how her mom reassured him with a passionate kiss that he looked even sexier as a silver fox.
Amélie took a deep breath as she stroked the sliver of hair. “I don’t know how to say goodbye, Papa,” she said as she choked back sobs. “How can I say goodbye to the toughest, most caring, most loving man I’ve ever met? I’m so lucky to have you as a father and even though you’re not with us now, I know you’ll always be right here in our hearts.” She placed her hand on the largest tattooed bird on her shoulder and closed her eyes.
We’re free now, Papa. It’s time for you to be free too and fly away.
She opened her eyes and released the hair into the wind, watching through tears as it soared away into the sky.
It was hard to say goodbye, but once it was done, they all felt better. The three of them had been through so much, but better times were ahead. Amélie just knew it.
She and Elodie each held one of their mother’s hands as they walked back down the mountain trail, laughing and smiling as they told the best stories of their Papa.
“What a pleasure it is to see you again!” Dorothy said with a wide smile as she shook Amélie’s hand. “I was worried that Grant was going to screw it all up!”
“He didn’t screw anything up,” Amélie said as she smiled back at her. “He’s been a perfect gentleman.”
They were all hanging around the pool bar before dinner when Dorothy arrived. Amélie had never seen anyone so excited to see her before, and that included when she saw her mother and sister after a year of absence.
“Grant told me there is some good news?” Dorothy said, looking too excited to contain herself. She placed a hand on Amélie’s stomach, making her back straighten impossibly tight. “Are you pregnant?”
“Mom!” Grant said as he hurried over. “Will you get your hand off of her?”
“Sorry!” Dorothy said, jerking her hand back.
“Inappropriate,” Grant said, shaking his head with a frown on his face.
“It’s okay,” Amélie said as she touched her new mother-in-law’s arm. “We were planning on telling you after dinner.”
Poor Dorothy’s whole body slumped down like all of the energy was suddenly zapped out of her. “How can I wait that long? Are you engaged?”
Amélie glanced over at Grant with a pleading face. She couldn’t make the poor woman wait too long. It was killing her not to know.
He shrugged and smiled, letting Amélie know that she was free to tell her.
“Your son and I,” Amélie started.
“Yes…” Dorothy said, barely able to contain herself.
“Well, we’ve been getting along great,” Amélie continued, “and our animals bonded.”
“You what?” she said, her face dropping as she stared at her in shock. “My son found a mate?”
She turned to Grant with wide eyes, looking like she was terrified that this might be a practical joke. “Is it true?”
“It’s true, Mom,” Grant said with a smile. His mother exploded forward and lunged on him, wrapping her arms around his neck in a hug. She pressed her cheek against his large chest and closed her eyes, enjoying the moment that she had been waiting forever for.
“I’m so happy,” she said as she released her son and lunged on Amélie. She suddenly pushed back as she held Amélie’s arms. “You want kids, right? Tell me you want kids! Please!”
Amélie couldn’t help but laugh. “We haven’t talked about it,” she said, nervously glancing at Grant. “But kids sound good.”
“Really?” Dorothy asked. She was practically breathless.
Grant was nodding along. “Kids do sound pretty good.”
“I’m. So. Happy.” Dorothy said as she reached for her son and pulled them all together.
Amélie laughed as she was squished into her boob.
She was pretty darn happy too.
Epilogue
Grant
Grant watched through his lion’s eyes as the large cat stalked through the forest. He lifted his nose and inhaled in deep. Amélie’s delicious scent rushed through his body, leaving a comforting warmth through every cell that it passed.
God, he loved this girl. The time with her had been absolutely perfect.
His lion looked around as he stalked forward, keeping low to the ground. Grant had the more powerful animal, but Amélie’s panther was as quiet and stealthy as they came.
He quietly walked under an old oak tree when she pounced from above. His lion let out a grunt as she slammed into his back, knocking him to the ground.
Grant’s lion got up with a playful roar and soon the two cats were wrestling through the bushes, having a great time.
Their cats seemed to get along as well as they did. They rolled around as they snipped and swatted and fought for position.
It was all fun and games until a real attacker lunged out of nowhere. Luckily, it was only Sloth. The obese cat landed on Amélie’s panther and attacked with a ferocity that could only be described as pathetic.
The panther let out a deep roar and Sloth roared back, only his roar was more like a gurgling cough.
A little while later, Grant pulled his cat back in and watched as the black panther turned
back into the girl that he adored. They were alone in the forest and both completely naked so it wasn’t long before they started wrestling around on the ground again, only this time instead of aggressive grunts and groans there were sensual cries and moans.
When they were done, Grant held Amélie’s naked body in his arms and wished that they could stay like this forever.
They had to leave for Colorado in two days to look for Bryce, but for now, all he could focus on was the perfect moment. The perfect girl in his arms, the perfect forest around him, the perfect fat cat who was watching them like a little pervert.
“Scram!” Grant shouted as he grabbed a chunk of grass and tossed it at Sloth who was watching in the tall grass.
The cat flashed him a look of annoyance, turned around and left as Amélie giggled on his chest.
“Finally alone,” she whispered as she kissed him on the lips.
He grinned as he felt his cock start to harden once more.
“Just how I like it.” His mate laughed as he pulled her onto him until she was straddling his erection.
The way they were going, it was looking like his mother would get a grandkid after all—the next generation who would carry on the Clayton Rock family name.
And family ranch or not, Grant couldn’t wait.
