Mountain Man's Bride

by Lauren Wood

  “I know that you’re going to need a bit of time, but it doesn’t look you’re going to need as much time as you think you do. I think that somebody wants more and believe me he’s not the only one. There’s a certain part of me that is starving and you have the right kind of food to feed her.” I know that nothing is wrong and that everything that we are doing is more than right. To me this is a blessed union and I just hope that I’m not reading too much into this. He seems to be ready for more than just a one night experience. I think that I might have changed his mind about keeping his heart hidden from the rest of the world. I want to scream it from the rooftops, but I don’t want to do anything that’s going to make him run with that cardboard cutout of himself through the door.”

  There was a place inside his head that he made up to go when things were getting a little bit too hard to take. He could lose himself in the mysteries of life, but this time he had her body to occupy his mind. She was that special place that he was looking to find. It was amazing that she was that close without him even realizing it. “This has been most unexpected, but I don’t think that this could have gone any better. I do hope that you are ready for me. From the way that your thighs are wet and your lips slick, I can only assume that you’re more than ready.” He sat down and then lifted her by her hips, until her back was towards him and her wet pussy was hovering over his pillar of strength.

  Nicole swallowed hard and looked down at the huge piece of machinery. It was definitely ready and she may have been a little apprehensive, but for the most part she was holding her breath and waiting for it to happen. “He makes me want to do things that would probably make my friends look me in disgust. My dress is being held up by my hand and now I feel him pushing past the only obstacle in his way. I surround him with my heat and the love of my body now comforting him and holding him close.”

  “This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for, Nicole. I want to keep you warm in my arms and I know that you can feel that my cock is exactly where you need it. You sitting on it nestled in my lap is almost too good to be true. I need to take a moment. If I were to do anything right now, I don’t know how long I would be able to hold out.” Royce looked at the wet spot where his cock joined her sex. It was like she had stepped into his life and turned him on to a new kind of loving. This was not his dream, but he did want her to believe that he was in this for more than just getting into her panties. Speaking of which, the panties that she had worn were still in his hand. He had not let go of them and was now inhaling the aroma, while she used her knees and the power of her strong thighs to rise up the top of that mountain and then back down to the bottom.

  “It will be all right and as long as we have each other, we don’t need anything more. This whole thing has been a whirlwind of emotions, but I won’t deny the way that your cock fills me up. I can feel every inch and I know that you can feel my sweet hole holding on to you. I grind against you and I hit those special spots that make those walls around you pulsate in a way to give you an idea of what you’re going to feel shortly. I don’t think that I have to tell you this, but I think that you should be forewarned that I’m a bit of a screamer. I become wild and out of my mind with pleasure. You’re just going to have to handle me and to make sure that I don’t pull away from you in my orgasmic thrashing.” “There are very few men that know how to use what god gave them. I’ve had only two other lovers that have even come close, but Royce has beat them hands down.”

  “I wish that I could go back in time and tell my younger self that it’s going to get better. That life didn’t have to be a never ending crushing blow one after the other. It could be filled with joy and beauty and with a woman that knows how to treat him like the king that he’s supposed to be.” Royce had his hand on her hip and her body was now flying at a pace that really did look like she had gone off the rails. With her panties still lying across his nose, he gripped both of her hips and was now meeting her with long hard thrusts from below. It was a juicy and wet and wild ride that neither one of wanted to get off. They didn’t have to say as much, but they both were busily telling each other that this was something that neither one of them had experienced before.

  “I wish that I could go back in time and tell my younger self that there was a man that knew how to please. They were not all in it for their own pleasure… no…no… you’re definitely not in it for your… own… PLEASURE.” “I choked on the last word and my wet pussy was now squeezing rhythmically along the length of him. I know that he’s ready to give me another shot of his adrenaline filled juice. It was definitely going to go down right here in this limo and there was nothing and no one that was going to call a halt to what we were doing to each other.”

  “I thought that your…fucking mouth was something, but you have definitely raised the bar for other women. I don’t even know if I want any other woman in my life ever again. I thought that I was above feeling this way, but apparently I was just not with the right woman. You’re the kind of partner that feeds off of my kinky desires and I do the same thing with you. I thought that you were a work in progress, but I see now that I was biting off more than I can chew. I know that you will be the one that I will never forget.… AHHHHH.” He didn’t even feel it coming and it was like a paintbrush slap to his face.

  Royce felt it coming out and he continued to slam her down and up, while immersing himself in to the pleasure of her little hole. Her body was taking him and twisting him inside out. He wanted to find a way to make her notice him and he was reaching for the little gift that he had underneath his chair. He couldn’t quite reach it with her on his lap. He just didn’t know if he wanted to pull free of that vise like grip. He knew that he should’ve took a step back and told her the truth. Letting her believe that she was being courted by an admirer was cruel and unusual punishment. He thought that it was romantic, but now he thought that he was making her feel like she was being pulled in two different directions.

  “I know that you’re listening. It’s too hard to let you go, but I have something that has been on my mind. There is something in your eyes that I can’t quite understand. I think it’s time that you finally let me in all the way. “It happens all the time. When I think that I have one of the good ones, they always find a way to make me think differently. I’ve had enough men lie to me in my lifetime and I don’t need it from him. He’s either going to have to man up, or ruin the one good thing that he has in his life. I’m not bragging, because I know the way that he feels for me, even though he wants nothing more than to keep this casual.” The sticky sensation underneath her had reminded her of how they had got lost in each other. There was nothing that mattered besides the pleasure that they could have with one another. That was the fantasy of their relationship, when the reality was known to be far worse

  “I think that I’m finally ready to give you the respect of not only my affection, but of my trust. I have something for you and it might shed some light on how long I’ve been vying for your attention.” Royce helped her to sit beside him in the buff. He saw that she was feeling vulnerable and reached for a blanket to cover her nudity. She once again looked sweet and innocent, but she was anything but.

  “Before you say anything, I need to tell you that I’m being courted by…”

  “A secret admirer.” They both said it at the same time and then he handed her the box and waited for her to open it. He saw the look of shock and confusion, but then it turned into elation when she finally realized that he was the one.

  “She looked up at him and the window on the other side of the limo exploded into fragments like an explosion had just got off. They both shielded their eyes and then she opened them to see that there was a gun pointed into the open window.

  THE END

  SECRET ADMIRER

  BOOK - 3

  Chapter 1

  Nicole was terrified and unable to move. She was looking at this gun with the silencer on the end of it and knowing that one pull of that trigger would end it all. She saw
the anger welling up inside Royce and the way that he stared down the barrel of the gun like it meant nothing. At first, she thought that he was being brave for her, but it wasn’t like that. It was almost like he had expected something like this to come calling one day. “I admire him for standing there and taking this, but he’s risking everything. Whoever is on the end of the gun is taking things a little bit too far. I want to do something to help, but I have no idea if I’m even capable of raising a hand, even in self defense. I’m trying to hide my naked shame. I’ve pulled my clothes against me. He doesn’t even look like he’s concerned about his own nudity or what kind of picture we present.”

  Royce stared down the gun and knew that the man behind it was responsible for the letter. He always thought that his time would never come, but apparently his day of retribution was at hand. He had the world at his fingertips, but he knew that it came at a very costly price. He never believed that the deal that he made was with the devil. This man claimed to be something supernatural, but he believed in his heart that it was just a game.

  “You didn’t have to go this far. I would have gladly met you anywhere, but you decided to announce your presence this way. I would’ve thought that the letter would’ve been enough, but you wanted to make a grand entrance. You wanted to scare me into shaking in my boots, but you have to know by now that I’m not the same man that I was.” He saw the gun move back and forth like he was being chastised for his behavior. “You did this, as a way to see that fear in my eyes, but I hate to disappoint you. I’m not afraid. We both know that you’re not going to get what you want by pulling that trigger. You’ve made your point abundantly clear and now it’s time for you to leave.”

  “I want to know what’s going on and he was this close to telling me something important when all of this happened. I know that he holds something deep inside that he doesn’t want others to know, but what exactly does that have to do with this man and some kind of deal with the devil. My body is still charged from going after each other like wild wildebeests. I don’t think that I could ever find another man that can make me feel the way that he does. I would like to say that I can leave all of this behind, but I don’t think that I can do that with a straight face.” Nicole was holding onto what was left of her dignity. If she could have, she would have gladly climbed into a hole and covered it with dirt.

  “I thought that it might be a good time to remind you that time is not a commodity that is in your favor. You had your day in the sun and now it’s time to pay the piper. You couldn’t possibly believe that I would allow you to live like this for the rest of your life. You’re right, I won’t get what I want by killing you, but I have to say that the idea does intrigue me. I’m going to leave you alone for 24 hours. You have that amount of time to make peace with yourself and those that you care about including Nicole. You may not know that I’ve been watching. I’ve been waiting to grab that rug from underneath you and pull it away. I would never do that; until that time elapsed and believe me this last year has been making me giddy with anticipation.” The man was known as Caleb. He had so many last names that it really didn’t make much of a difference. He backed away from the window and moved to the silver Lexus sitting idling in behind the limousine. The driver was momentarily stunned and out of commission. Knocking them off the road while they were enjoying themselves physically was unexpected.

  Caleb remembered the first day that he met Royce. He remembered the wide eyed innocence and that feeling of going nowhere quickly. He easily spotted him in the coffee shop nursing his caffeine fix for the day. The tattered clothing on his body was like a collar around his neck making him feel domesticated and not wild and free like he wanted to be. This was not the first time that he had done something like this. It wouldn’t be the last. He had several others on the chessboard of life that he moved from pawns with nothing to live for to kings of their own destiny.

  He drove away, but he couldn’t help to smile at how Royce was feeling. This was the best part of what he did. He considered himself the devil and if there were such a thing, they would gladly give him that moniker.

  24 hours and then he would collect and that would give him infinite joy. It was the only thing that he found fun. He could remember the last time. These insane ventures with those people that really had no place to turn were what he lived for.

  He had had a lot of sleepless nights, but that was mostly from the adrenaline rush of the moment getting the best of him. Caleb was a dark skinned man that worked for every dollar that he made. He was what most people would call an idiot savant when it came to business. He could practically predict what the markets were going to do before they did it.

  Nicole watched through the window, as the car sped by shooting a shower of gravel against the exterior of the white limousine. She turned towards Royce and saw that he was concentrating on the retreating form of the man that had just caused her heart to stop for a moment. It was beating again, but a little quicker than normal with that moment of indecision that came from the man holding the trigger and having their lives in the palm of his hand. “I’m not sure what I’m supposed to say after something like this. He looks like he wants to wrap his hands around that man’s throat and not let go, until he turns blue. I’ve known that he is unpredictable, but I didn’t know that he could be deadly given the right circumstances.”

  “I have to apologize for that. My business sometimes rubs people the wrong way. Where were we before we were, so rudely interrupted? Oh yes, I was about to give you this.” Royce handed her the box and saw that she was visibly shaken from what had transpired. “I don’t want you to give it any more thought. That’s business for another day. Please, I implore you not to ask me what that was about. It was not one of my finest moments and I would rather leave it that way.” The ticking of the clock was a reminder that the life that he had was not going to be there for much longer. He would hold onto it with everything that he could. He really didn’t know any other way and the man that he once was had been long dead and buried. There was an actual gravestone to signify that that was the end of his life and the beginning of something new and more interesting.

  Nicole opened up the box and saw the piece of puzzle. She stared at it for a moment and then looked up to him to see that he was holding the very box that held the rest of those puzzle pieces. “I have so many questions. I know that you don’t want me to say anything, but I don’t know if I can keep quiet.” She had found the strength to shake herself from the shock of having that window blow up in front of her face. “I can’t believe that you are my secret admirer. I am glad that you finally came clean, but now I have more questions than answers.” “I don’t want him to go, but he seems a little bit too dangerous to even consider a future with. It might be best that I just cut ties cleanly and walk away before things get too messy.”

  Nicole could feel the cool wind of the night air tickling her skin and making the hairs on her arms rise with that sensation. She looked at him for some kind of explanation, but was bitterly aware that he really didn’t want to talk about it.

  “I’m sorry that I was a little secretive about my affections for you. From the moment that I met you, I knew that I needed to get to know you. I also thought it might be fun to keep you guessing, until the very last moment. It wasn’t fair of your boss to take away that choice for you. I’m not very happy that he kept those letters to himself, until he thought it best that you know about my overtures. I thought the letters were poignant and romantic, but maybe he took them for something else.” Royce had found a way to change the subject, even though Caleb was very much on his mind.

  “I think that you should have been man enough to come to me in person. I will admit that I did enjoy having a secret admirer. Every girl dreams of something like that, but very rarely do they ever get to experience it. You made me feel like I was in a movie and maybe it might be a chick flick, but it starred the both of us.” “I look at the box in his hand and the puzzle is that of two hearts split down
the middle. I’m not sure if he’s trying to tell me that I’m destined for heartbreak or if I hold a piece of his heart. I can’t get that image of the gun out of my mind. It scared me and made me tremble and not in a good way. He’s obviously worried about something, but he doesn’t give me the respect of telling me what it is.”

  Nicole didn’t want to believe the worst or that she was wasting her time with a man that couldn’t be tamed. She was kind of thrilled to learn that he was her secret admirer, but the thrill was short lived by the look of the gun and the way that it menacingly moved back and forth in a negative light.

  “I want you to know that I will never let anything happen to you. I will shelter you with my body like a human shield. I don’t want you to think that it will come to that. All I’m saying is that your well being is the most important thing to me. I’ve never felt like this with any other girl and I think that you’re slowly getting an inkling of why I have kept most of my relationships professional. I’m just a little sad that this didn’t happen five years ago.” He still couldn’t believe that five years had gone by like that. He thought that he was flying like those clouds in the sky. He couldn’t even fathom to think that one day all of this would be gone in the blink of an eye.

  “I know what you’re trying to say and I appreciate the sentiment. It’s just that I don’t think that I can handle this kind of drama. I was hoping for something a lot more simple and easy. I’m through playing games and I was hoping that I had found someone that was exactly like me. These puzzle pieces were sweet and had an innocent quality to them, but I see now that you were only trying to mark your territory. It might be best that you take me home.” “I want to tell him that I don’t want to go home. I want to go back to his place and burn the sheets up, until they are twisted around us in a misshapen form. I want to feel his body pressed up against me and to have that bed, as the perfect way to seal the kind of love that we share together. He’s too much to handle and if he can’t be truthful with me, then why am I even bothering.”
