  Chapter One

  “Cavemen? What in God’s name are you talking about? There’s no such thing,” Danielle Carver, ‘Dani’ to what few friends she actually had shifted in her seat, staring incredulously at the girl across from her.

  “I’m serious, girl. They do exist. There are four burly, mysterious, and rugged men who frequent our amazing little town on a regular basis. And let me tell you, wow baby.” Lisa fanned her face, winking. “They’re built in all the right places. Huge hands and feet. Muscles that are tight like steel drums. Melt in your mouth delicious. Just think about how big their cocks must be.”

  She’d known Lisa Banner for about six months, since the day after her ridiculous, stupid, mind-blowing move to Bumfuck, Oregon. Well, Baker City was a quaint little town, surrounded by some of the most stunning views this side of the Mississippi, but she remained bitter. The reason for her move across country?

  One useless asshole of a man.

  She was twenty-five and should have known better, for God’s sake. Her father had taught her to be a survivalist, convinced the apocalypse was right around the corner. Maybe he’d been right, only not in the way he was thinking. A bead of sweat trickled down the side of her face, a bodily function indicating she was lying, even to herself. Okay, so there’d been more than one reason for a fresh start—hunting for a new job, salvaging some kind of career. Still, the jerkoff didn’t have to dump her in the manner he did.

  “I think you’ve been watching too many movies or desperately need to get laid,” Dani suggested, catching rather nasty looks from other customers in close proximity.

  Lisa poked her. “You’re the one who needs a wild sexual event. Isn’t that right? At least that’s what you told me over several margaritas.”

  Visions popped into her mind, images of big, strapping, and very rugged men using her body in every fashion they desired. Her mouth and throat were suddenly parched. Reaching for her glass, she almost knocked the thing over. “Shit.”

  “Uh-huh, you do understand.” She laughed then leaned in even closer. “I’m not joking about this. I’ve seen them myself and yes, I’ll admit, I hungered for them. No judging me!”

  “Who’s judging who?” Dani asked, forced to admit her curiosity was piqued. She needed some kind of excitement in her rather dull existence.

  “They really are larger than life, but they don’t talk. They don’t engage with anyone. I’ve never seen a vehicle of any kind and you know they’re coming from the mountains. I’ve heard there are caves there,” Lisa said, shrugging.

  She narrowed her eyes, resisting bursting into laughter. “They aren’t walking down from the mountains, Lisa. That’s like twenty miles.”

  “They could!” she insisted. “As mighty and roughhewn as they are. Mmm... They have long beards and hair that you just want to drag your fingers through. Powerful legs. Whew. If you ask me, they’re no doubt dangerous men craving beautiful young females. Virgins. Sadly, that leaves me out of the picture.” Her laugh was raucous.

  A blush formed along Dani’s jawline, a vision of her naked and collared body tied to a stake, four men exactly as Lisa described using her in every manner they so desired. Her pussy clenched from the insane but delicious thought.

  “You okay? You look flushed.” Lisa’s one eyebrow was lifted, her expression teasing.

  “I’m fine. Let’s assume you’re right about this. How can cavemen exist?” Dani asked casually as she sipped on her Coke, tossing away the image. She had a deadline approaching, yet another article on the best muffins in town for the local newspaper. She’d been lucky to get the job but writing fluff pieces about food and the next art festival wasn’t her thing. Her training as an investigative reporter was instilled in every molecule in her body. She wanted a meaty piece, something everyone could sink their teeth into. At least that would get her mind off of Peter and his latest conquest. Cavemen sounded interesting, but Lisa was prone to wild stories and even crazier behavior.

  Lisa glanced out the window of the diner then checked her watch. “I’m calling it like it is. Everyone in town says these dudes are prehistoric cavemen who adapted to our ways. They come and go, vanishing as if they were never here. Been doing it for months. Even heard some folks talk about a group of guys trying to track them down. You know nothing exciting happens in this town, so their arrival is big news. I can see the story on Nightline or hey, maybe the Today show.”

  The girl had more than just a wild imagination. Still, Dani was a tiny bit intrigued, a story forming in her mind. If she could sell the idea to her boss... No, he saw her exactly like the kind of reporter she loathed—simply an extra. She sucked on her straw, her mind going to dark and evil places. “Everyone in town. How come this is the first time I’m hearing about this?”

  “Well, let’s see.” She gave a Dani a haughty grin. “You spent the first four and a half months inside that crappy apartment of yours chained to the bed while Peter performed kinky acts all. Over. Your. Body. Then, you’ve spent the last month and a half pining away for the creep, and writing stories for that rag newspaper you work for. That’s precisely why.”

  Dani couldn’t help the way her middle finger just ended up in the air in front of Lisa’s face. If she’d actually been chained to her bed, she might still have a happy life. “Funny. Take it on the road. And I’ll have you know The Enforcer isn’t a ragtag newspaper. Thank you very much.” Okay, so she’d cried more tears over the jerkoff than she cared to mention, but that was done. Finished. Caput. She was a new woman ready to take on the world. And yes, the newspaper wasn’t widely distributed in the area, but they did some solid news. Some. Every once in a while. “Let’s get back to these cavemen. Who are they?”

  “That’s just it. Nobody knows. They come into town once every couple of months and have been since just after you moved here. They never say a word to anyone. Not a single word. They purchase supplies and disappear into thin air, like wild wolves vanishing into the night.”

  “Last I heard, cavemen don’t wear clothes. Are they walking around naked?”

  Lisa huffed. “No, goofy. They’re wearing clothes, but even prehistoric men can adapt.”

  “And wouldn’t have survived this lon
g.” She had to laugh. What in God’s name was the girl talking about? She could see trying to get her boss interested. Jacob would grill her to death, sorting through every detail, even pictures if she was so lucky to get a few, and after making her wait for an exorbitant amount of time, he’d laugh in her face. No, she couldn’t risk the chance he’d toss her off the job completely. She had no money, a truck that had seen better days, and her father wouldn’t allow her to crawl back home. She was stuck, like glue, like fly to honey, like... Yep, she desperately needed one rock solid article and soon.

  “I heard the sheriff went looking for them one day. Didn’t find a trace. Disappeared like the wild creatures they are. They’re supposedly dangerous men, rough and tumble, rugged and dark, sexy and...” Lisa licked her lip in an exaggerated fashion.

  Dani resisted rolling her eyes. “How would anyone know if they’re dangerous if they don’t do any talking? Do they brandish guns, threaten women and children? Do they carry sharp spears, killing wild animals on the way?” She had to admit, she could almost envision the dudes, long arms, chunky legs, thumping through town, terrifying everyone. She exhaled and rubbed her forehead. Why did she have perspiration forming along her hairline?

  “This is serious. As I said, they all have long beards and you know the look, like they could cut your heart out with a spoon.”

  “No, I don’t know the look.” In fact, Peter was a pretty boy, the kind of boy next door with slicked-back hair and glasses. He even wore button-down shirts every day. Why she’d been attracted to him in the first place was beyond her. Now, here she was, stuck in a job that was going nowhere. Failure at this point wasn’t an option. She had to get her life back on track.

  Her father loathed failure of any kind.

  He’d been a strict military man, until he’d become convinced the world was ending, which subsequently derailed his brilliant career in the military. The man had insisted he’d seen all the signs of the apocalypse, fueled by government indiscretions. Uh-huh. Well, at least he hadn’t believed in aliens. Shaking her head, she was on her own, making her way in the world. This was make it or break it time. She’d believed in her father once. That had been enough.

  “I tell you what. These guys are like clockwork. They come in at high noon, walk the city, and are gone by one p.m. I’ve watched them the last two times they came into town. They follow the same path, go to the same stores. Totally silent. All in formation. You up for an adventure?”

  “Doing what?”

  “Just some sleuthing.” Lisa jabbed her in the arm. “Oh, come on. What other exciting plans do you have for the afternoon?”

  Her imagination was on fire. What if she could figure out what these rugged men were doing and write an earth-shattering story? The idea wasn’t bad. Her mind shifted into visions of a Pulitzer Prize, complete respect in the industry, becoming rich and famous. Her nipples tightened at the prospect. A little investigation would help her determine if the concept was a possibility.

  “I can tell you’re thinking about it,” Lisa teased. “Come on. Live a little.”

  “What the hell. The computer and the muffins can wait for a couple more hours.”

  “That’s the spirit.” Lisa grabbed her purse, tossing a few bills on the table, and guided Dani out of the diner. “Look, it’s almost noon. They usually go to the hardware store, then the ammunition place over on Third. I think they hit the liquor store, but I’m not certain and last but not least, Maggie’s Groceries. In and out in one hour, if not less.”

  “Huh.” She thought about the concept. Maybe they were working on some project, forcing them to live in the woods all by themselves.

  “Maybe they’re mass murderers or assassins. They could work for the government.”

  Lisa had one of the best imaginations Dani had ever experienced, one reason they’d become fast friends. “I think you might have been watching too many episodes of CSI, girl.”

  “Wait right here.” Lisa pulled her aside, hiding in an alcove of a small shop. “Just wait and stay quiet. Don’t want to scare them off.”

  “Yeah, ‘cause they’ll come after us with big, fat clubs.” Dani rolled her eyes.

  “Maybe they have big, fat cocks instead.”

  She frowned, her thoughts drifting to Peter. She’d enjoyed their relationship for a few months anyway, his pristine methods originally turning her on. When they became prissy in her mind, that’s when things started to go south. She hungered for a real man, rugged and carved in all the right places, well hung and savage. Maybe she really needed a Neanderthal instead of a caveman. Wait, they were one in the same. She pressed her fingers over her lips to keep from bursting into laughter.

  “Quiet,” Lisa advised.

  “Uh-huh.” They stood in the sun, waiting for what seemed like fifteen minutes.

  “Lisa. This is crazy.”

  “Five more minutes. Just five.”

  “Five, then I...” Dani’s words trailed off and she hadn’t realized she’d taken a step out of their hiding place. A sight unlike anything she’d seen caught her attention, as well as everyone else standing on the street. “Oh, shit.”

  “See, I told you. There they are in all their fine glory.” Lisa shimmied her hips. “Hubba, hubba.”

  Four men walked down the street, one trailing after the other. Men? They were larger than life, shoulder-length hair swinging in the light breeze and the way the golden sun had captured their silhouettes left her mouth watering. Long, muscular legs, chiseled hips, and lean waists filling dirty jeans. Flannel shirts barely covering their massive chests, and thick boots rounding out the rugged ensemble. They each had impressive beards and thick hair, and Lisa was right, the kind that deserved to have fingers run through seconds before the long strands were tossed over her naked body. Three of them were all dark with a single blond in the sea of darkness. She was frozen to the spot, lightheaded from her nasty girl thoughts.

  Yummy was the only word to use to describe them. Her thoughts drifted to being ravaged by all four, stripped of her clothing, and taken in a brutal manner over and over again. They’d slide their massive fingers past her swollen folds, thrusting into her wet cunt as they whispered words of ownership. Then they’d slide their thick, throbbing cocks into her hot little mouth. She swallowed several times, blinking in an effort to shove the sinful vision aside. How could she want this? From strangers? Dangerous men? She rolled her eyes, huffing under her breath. Nothing exciting like that was going to happen to a girl like her.

  Ever.

  Besides, she was a reporter first and would get to the bottom of who they were and what they were doing.

  Lisa jerked Dani’s shoulder, tugging hard enough that Dani yelped and by damn, the sexy blond turned his head in their direction. “Oh, my,” Lisa whispered. “Can you imagine what he looks like without his clothes?”

  “Uh-huh.” Dani had no idea what to think. She could tell that anyone in close proximity to them scuttled away, absolutely terrified. From what she was able to see, the cavemen weren’t carrying any weapons, so why be so damn petrified? She had a notion to strike up a conversation with one or more of them, see if she could get any reaction at all. Why not? “I’ll be right back.”

  “Don’t you dare! What are you doing? You can’t just go up to them. What if they abduct you?”

  “Stop being a ninny. Jesus. They’re allowed to be here. They’re not breaking any laws. Just give me a second. If everyone else in this town is scared of the boogeymen, then I’m going to do a little investigation, just like you wanted me to do.” Whoever these men were, they certainly piqued her interest in just about every manner.

  “You’re crazy! I’m coming with you. Somebody has to protect you!”

  “Then keep quiet. I’m going to Maggie’s Groceries to wait.” Dani glanced at the direction they were traveling then smiled shamelessly. “We can get there the back way. If they’re so religious about their activities, we’ll be waiting for them to arrive.” Her pussy clenched, her ni
pples erect and sensitive, scraping across the material of her bra. Perspiration was trickling down both sides of her face.

  “Squee! This is more interesting than my normal days. You have guts, girl.”

  Dani had always been adventurous, refusing to back down from anything or anyone. That had gotten her into trouble more times than she could count, including certain articles she’d written in the past. Her previous boss hadn’t taken kindly to her inflammatory exposés about various politicians. That’s why she’d been reduced to doing cupcake stories. News in the business traveled fast. No, she’d keep this idea under wraps until she was certain.

  As far as sexual escapades? That was an entirely different story. She experienced one other man than Peter and the two nights had been just about as exciting as watching clothes dry. She might as well be a virgin given the action she’d seen in her life. Maybe it was time to break out of her comfort zone in more than one way.

  They crossed the street, moving into the alley as they made their way toward the local grocery store. Once inside, Dani walked straight to the back of the store, finding a location that would allow them to observe any customers coming in through the front door.

  “What if they come inside?” Lisa asked, hiding behind a display.

  “Then... Then, I don’t know. Have patience.”

  They didn’t have to wait long.

  True to Lisa’s predictions, the door opened, and the four sexy, rugged, and rough-looking men stormed inside.

  “Look at those long legs,” Lisa whispered.

  Dani was looking at other well-endowed attributes, her mouth dry, the wet spot between her legs now as uncomfortable as hell. “Just stay quiet.”

  “That’s hard to do!” Her voice carried, sweeping down the short aisle and straight to the man in the front. He stopped and sniffed, scanning the store, his eyes penetrating. The other three flanked his side, doing almost the exact same thing. The blond took a deep breath.

  There was absolute silence in the store, the few customers standing in awe.
