“Come on, hon.” Tom reached out to her with both hands.
Brenda scooted closer between his legs until she felt she could easily take care of his already hard cock while she knelt there. She heard Mark move behind her. He put a hand on one of her butt cheeks.
“Your skin is so silky, babe. I love the feel of it.”
“Have your way with me, hon,” Tom said.
She looked down at his cock. Another bead of pre-cum filled the little slit in the broad head of his straining cock. She continued to grasp the base with her hand and, leaning down, licked the smooth head of his cock again. He tasted salty and sweet. She took the head between her lips and licked the sensitive rim before taking him deeper. His swift deep breath told her she was doing this right for him. Slowly she took him deeper into her mouth as she licked the length of his hardened member and listened to his groans of pleasure. She became aroused at the same time. She moved her head up and down, taking him in and out as she continued to hold the base firmly in one hand. With her other hand, she caressed his balls and was rewarded with another deep moan of pleasure from him.
“You’re killing me, hon,” Tom said. “That feels so good.” His voice sounded strained with his pleasure.
She felt the warmth of Mark’s hand on her before he touched her folds and stroked between them with his fingers, sliding along her slit. She moaned with the arousing feeling as he stroked to her clit and circled that sensitive little nub with gentle pressure. He kept one hand on her hip, steadying her as he continued to caress her flesh. Dipping into the moisture dripping from her channel opening, he smoothed the moisture up and down her slit. She groaned and shivered with the titillating strokes. He never stopped but slid his fingers back down to her opening and pushed the tip of one finger inside so slowly. She shivered with the sensation, but she needed to keep her attention on how she was pleasuring Tom. It was hard to do that with Mark sliding his thick finger deeper inside her channel. He stroked the inner walls, making her shiver and groan with those caresses. He slowly slid his finger out, and she heard the crinkle of plastic. The pressure of the broad head of his hard cock spread her opening to her channel as he pushed slowly inside her. She held still as his big, rock-hard cock stretched her.
“Are you okay, babe?” Mark asked her. “Hold up your hand if you’re not.”
She shook her head in response, and Tom groaned with his pleasure at that movement on his cock. She teased his balls with her fingers, and he shivered in response. Moving her head up and down over his thick cock, she swirled her tongue around it and then traced the veins on the sensitive underside with her tongue. Mark held her hips with both hands and moved deep inside her and then pulled almost all the way out. She wiggled her hips as the head of his cock pleasured her stretched opening.
Tom slipped his hands beneath her breasts and caressed her as Mark pushed deep inside her channel again. She moaned with the hot pleasure they gave her. Her swollen flesh ached as the swelling continued while they pleasured her and she caressed Tom. She moved up and down over his cock as Mark moved in and out of her pussy, faster, fucking her so deep. Mark moved one hand to her folds and slid it between the moist flesh, found her clit, and circled it, pressing more firmly until she felt overwhelmed by the aching heat they gave her. Tom took her nipples in his fingers and flicked them, making her moan. When he squeezed both nipples at the same time, she felt the zing of hot pleasure streak through her body straight to her belly, where everything tightened inside her. Her orgasm slammed through her with tight, aching contractions.
She heard Tom’s deep growl, and his cock jerked in her mouth. She swallowed his cum as he ejaculated inside her mouth. Mark growled deep in his chest as his orgasm took him, his cock jerking inside her channel and caressing her even more as he found his pleasure. She released Tom’s softened cock. While her body began to relax, little contractions continued to tease her.
“You’re incredible, sweetheart,” Mark said softly as he slowly slid his relaxed cock from her slick opening. “Thank you, babe.”
She felt Mark’s warm lips on the place where her spine met her cheeks as he pressed a kiss there. “You both are wonderful,” she said as Tom urged her down onto his hard chest and abdomen. “I don’t think I have the strength to move.” She hugged Tom gently, and he wrapped his arms around her.
“You’re amazing, honey,” Tom said. “I’ve never had anything so good, ever. Thank you.”
“I’ll be back in a minute,” Mark said as he crossed to the bathroom.
When he returned he joined them on the bed.
Tom loosened his hold around her. “I’ll be right back, hon.” She scooted to the side of him, and Mark put an arm around her.
She put an arm around Mark and closed her eyes. She felt all warm and content knowing that they cared as much about her as she cared about them. They proved it in so many ways, including with their considerate lovemaking.
Tom returned to the bed and slipped an arm around her as he moved close beside her. “How about a quick nap?”
“Sounds good,” she said.
“I agree,” Mark said, moving closer to her.

Later, after a delicious dinner of steaks, potatoes, and salad, they took their drinks outside by the pool.
“The moon is full tonight,” Brenda said. “It’s huge. I’m amazed at how light it is out here with the clear sky and a bright full moon.”
“Thinking about a moonlight swim?” Tom asked her in a teasing tone.
“I was,” she said. “Have you gone swimming around here at night in the lake or at the hot springs?”
Mark had a good idea where this was going. “We’ve gone to the lake in the evening to swim on occasion. There’s usually one or two couples there that time of the evening, swimming and having a good time.”
“Could we go for a swim in the hot springs pool?” she asked.
Mark looked at Tom for his opinion. Tom raised his eyebrows and tilted his head as he met Mark’s gaze. Obviously, Tom thought there was no problem with that.
“I guess we could,” Mark said. “I have no idea if there will be other folks swimming. I haven’t been there at night to swim before.”
“Let’s give it a try,” Brenda said, sounding interested.
“Okay. Let’s grab what we need and drive over. We can put some drinks in the cooler and put it in the back of the truck. Take some warm clothes to put on in case the air becomes chilly later on.”
They all headed inside to make their preparations and put on swimming clothes then headed to the truck with everything. It didn’t take long to drive to the hot springs pool.
Mark noticed their truck was the only vehicle around. “Looks like we’ll have the pool to ourselves.”
Brenda looked up at him from where she sat between him and Tom. “That’s great. We can have a good time by ourselves.” She gave him a big smile that reached her beautiful eyes.
Mark turned off the engine, and Tom helped her out his side. They each carried towels, and Mark and Tom carried a blanket and bottled drinks, which they took from the cooler in back. The moon was bright enough that they didn’t need flashlights.
Mark saw that Brenda had draped her towel over one of the boulders near the pool. She was standing at the edge ready to lower herself into the water. He put his towel beside hers and lifted her into his arms.
“Yikes,” she exclaimed.
“I’ll be happy to help you into the water,” he said.
“Don’t drop me,” she protested, giggling.
“I won’t. You’re safe with me.” He grinned at her and stepped down the slanted bottom of the side of the pool until it was deep enough for him to lower her. The water came up to her waist when she sat down. He watched her as she worked her way deeper toward the center of the pool. Tom joined him, and they both walked through the warm water to reach her. Tom handed them both a bottled beverage.
Mark couldn’t take his eyes off of Brenda as she enjoyed the wa
ter in the moonlight. She was a beautiful woman, and the moonlight enhanced her beauty even more, reflecting pale light over her long blonde hair. She finished her drink and handed him the bottle. Backing away in the water, she stretched out on her back and floated for a while. She turned over and made her way to the opposite side.
Mark decided he’d best get another drink. “Can I bring you all drinks? I’m headed that way.”
“I’ll have another,” Tom said as he handed Mark his empty bottle.
Mark headed back to the truck to put away the empty bottles and pick up a couple more bottles.
Tom couldn’t turn away as Brenda floated on the water on her back. Her breasts broke the water and held him fascinated as she floated. She pushed her bikini top below her breasts. The moonlight gave the lovely round globes a pale cream color, her tits a pale pink. Her hair streamed out around her in the water. His cock rose and tightened with his arousal.
He heard a sound and turned, expecting to see Mark, but instead he looked right into the muzzle of a gun.
Chapter Twelve
Tom stared at the evil grin of a man dressed in black. Without moving, Tom looked back at Brenda. Two men held their guns on her. She opened her eyes and saw them. She turned to look at Tom, and he gave his head a shake to tell her not to make a sound or do anything.
The gunmen indicated they should get out of the pond on the side toward the hill. Tom prayed they could get out of this without any of them being shot and killed. The man behind him gave him a push.
Tom helped Brenda out of the water and up the short hill to the path on the other side as she lifted her bikini top to cover her breasts. The gunmen indicated they should quickly walk along the path heading north away from the warm springs pool. One of the gunmen strode ahead of Brenda. When she walked too slowly, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her along behind him faster. Tom wanted to kill him just for touching her.
There were two gunmen behind him. Their chances weren’t good enough to try to get away at this point. It was too dangerous, and Brenda could be hurt, or worse. Hopefully, Mark would see that they were gone and follow their wet tracks. Tom hoped he found them soon.
* * * *
They’d walked quite a way from the pool, Brenda thought. She didn’t know how they would get out of this. The men with guns didn’t wear masks. They wore black clothing and baseball caps. Their faces were swarthy looking with a few days’ growth of facial hair. Their eyes were dark, as well. They were taller than she was and didn’t seem to be overweight. She figured they were strong enough to knock her out with one swipe of a gun. Somehow, she and Tom had to get out of this, but she didn’t know how at the moment. She knew this must be driving Tom crazy, with both of them being held at gunpoint.
She realized the path was gradually leading upward. The bright full moon gave enough light to see where they stepped. There were sharp shadows at the base of the rocks. She knew that Tom must be waiting his chance to take control from the outlaws. But as long as they held a gun on her and Tom, she knew he wouldn’t take a chance to make a move that could take their lives.
The men stopped by a couple of large boulders near the path. One of the men walked between the boulders and disappeared for a moment.
* * * *
When they were told to stop, Tom saw one of the men duck between a couple of huge rocks just ahead of them at the side of the path. He returned with his flashlight shining between the boulders and directed Tom and Brenda to walk through the small space. Within about six feet, the path dropped down steeply and they walked inside a cave opening with only the light of one flashlight to show their way ahead.
Tom heard one of the men behind them scuff against a loose rock and swear beneath his breath. Tom smiled to himself, knowing that Mark would hear that small noise created by the rocks since he’d be following them by now. Tom needed to keep Brenda safe until he saw his chance to escape with her, without endangering her more. He’d make his move as soon as he saw their best opportunity.
* * * *
Brenda looked for some way to escape as she made her way carefully along the uneven path. She and Tom were motioned to follow the man in the lead along the path through the dark cave. The break from bright moonlight to a dark cave was oppressive to Brenda. The extreme dampness inside the cave, plus their dangerous situation with the gunmen around them, made her fearful. What was going to happen to them? Were these men part of the huge gang of shape-shifters that Lacy had told her about? Were they just friends of the nasty prospector? What would happen to her and Tom? Where was Mark? Was he all right, or had they caught him?
Somehow, they had to make it out of this situation alive. How to do that was the question. They needed help, and they didn’t have their cell phones. They were forced to walk along a narrow path in the small, wet cave. She hadn’t been in this cave before. It was smaller than the one with the big cavern. The path led downward rather steeply. The air was too warm and even more humid now. She heard the trickle of water somewhere.
“Hurry up,” the man ahead of her ordered.
“I’m walking as fast as I can,” she replied with anger.
As fast as lightning, he brought his gun up, level with her head. “Don’t talk back,” he snapped.
Tom drew close behind her. “Leave her alone,” he ordered.
She turned toward Tom at the same time that the man behind him hit Tom on the back of his head with a gun. Tom took a step forward with the force of the blow.
“No!” she screamed. “Don’t!”
Tom’s eyes closed in pain, but he kept on his feet.
“Cooperate or you’ll get more,” the man behind him threatened.
“Please, don’t hit him,” Brenda said. Maybe if she kept talking Mark would hear them and know where they were in this cave. If he was all right, he’d be following them. She didn’t want to think about Mark being hurt. “What do you want with us?” she asked them. “We don’t have anything that you could use.”
“Quiet,” the man leading said. He waved his gun in front of her. “Our boss is waiting.” He turned and started walking along the narrow path again.
The air was too warm and damp, and Brenda was feeling lightheaded and dizzy. She didn’t know how much longer she could keep going.
* * * *
Mark stopped mid-stride at the sound of rocks hitting each other. He had his gun with him now, but he’d used precious time to retrieve it from the truck after he discovered Brenda and Tom gone from the pool.
He’d left his cell phone in the truck after a quick call to Austin. He didn’t want a call to reveal he was following whoever had them. Mark was glad that Austin was on the way with Rex and Ry, who had been picking up dinner. That would make the odds better if they could find him, and Brenda and Tom, once they got to the hot springs.
Mark hadn’t wanted to wait for them, and now he was glad he hadn’t or he wouldn’t have heard the rattle of the dislodged rocks.
The bright moonlight revealed their footprints. He followed them into the cave on the north side of the hill. The faint light from their flashlights let him know he was in the right place.
He heard voices and then Brenda protesting loudly. Shit, what the hell had happened? He hurried, keeping his steps as quiet as possible. It wouldn’t help Brenda and Tom if he was picked off by the outlaws.
As he took a curve in the path, he saw them at the bottom of the path below him. One of the gunmen waved his gun in front of Brenda’s face.
My God, they couldn’t hurt her! The nightmare from his past when the woman, an agent, was injured while investigating that case with him filled his mind and threatened his judgment. He’d sworn he’d never allow a woman to be hurt on his watch ever again.
He was still haunted by that incident. It had been his fault then that she hadn’t been cautious enough and got in a bad place. He wouldn’t let that happen to Brenda, no matter what he had to do to protect her. The agent had wanted to catch the criminals as badly as he and the other agent
s on the case. What happened was imprinted on his mind forever. Memories assailed him. When the criminals had run from the house, she’d stood up from where she’d taken cover. She’d held her gun in both hands and ordered them to halt, told them they were under arrest, and the criminal in the lead had hit her head with his gun. He couldn’t keep the memories away. She’d fallen, her legs folding beneath her.
The agent shouldn’t have been in harm’s way. He should have prevented her from taking that chance. He hadn’t been able to.
He couldn’t let that happen to Brenda. She was surrounded by brutal thugs who had a job to take her and Tom to whoever their boss was.
He heard a soft footstep behind him and turned. It was Ry. Thank God. Austin was behind him, along with Rex. They each had their guns with them.
Mark nodded toward the scene below. Then he pointed to each of his friends and indicated each member of the threatening group holding them. His friends nodded in agreement.
Mark used hand signals to tell his friends he was going down closer. He hoped to get Brenda out of the way in case any shooting started. He made his way closer and closer as quietly as possible. He couldn’t let those criminals know he was there. Like his shape-shifter side, he moved quickly without making a sound.
The group rested in a small area of rocks large enough to sit on. Mark saw his spot behind a tall boulder near Brenda where they wouldn’t see him. He had to move fast. He crouched, moving close behind her, using the boulders as cover. The men were talking and their attention wasn’t on her. He grabbed her arm as he whispered her name and pulled her behind him.
“Stay down,” he warned her, barely whispering. He stood and aimed at the thug nearest to Tom. “Move and we’ll shoot,” he shouted.
