“Then I think you need to rest it and let it heal.” She held onto his hand and looked into his stormy gray eyes. “What’s bothering you?”
“I don’t know how to tell you, but I need to go see Jarvis and the guys. I can’t leave without telling them good-bye.”
“I think you should see them. See what you really want.” She lowered her eyes and ran her hand across the back of his. “I’ve reconsidered your suggestion. If you want to come home, but still occasionally go on a mission, then you should.”
He tipped her face upward. “Are you certain? Will you marry Garrick and me on those terms?”
“Did I hear the word marriage?” Garrick said from the other side of the screen door.
“Come on in,” Cora said.
Garrick strode quickly to Cora and pulled her upright. He enclosed her in his arms and kissed her hard. Then he leaned back his head and his green eyes sparkled. “Will you marry Kohana and me?”
“I think I will, but first I should see what loving in a threesome is like. Don’t you think?”
Garrick swept her into his arms. “Kohana, lock the door. I’m taking our future wife to bed. Direct me on where to go, sweetheart.”
Kohana arrived in the bedroom right behind them. Garrick let her body slide down slowly against his. She felt his hard cock straining against his jeans as she leaned into him.
His mouth captured hers and his tongue swept inside seductively stoking all around. Vaguely in the background, she heard Kohana undressing. Garrick trailed his lips down her neck and kissed her collarbone. Then he unbuttoned her blouse and threw it aside. Next went her bra. His warm hands cupped her breasts while his teeth grazed across her peaked nipples.
Her body shivered with delight. Garrick sucked hard on one breast and then raised his head. Kohana stood beside them.
“Move over, it’s my turn while you get undressed.”
“Finish undressing her and lay her on the bed,” Garrick said before he stepped back.
Kohana took her hands and stepped away from her. “You are more beautiful than I remembered. Your body has matured and filled out.” He stared at her full breasts and Cora felt them swell at his words and ravishing expression.
He cupped her face and kissed her softly on her mouth. Then he pulled her snug against his hard body and his kiss deepened. One hand slid down and cupped her breast. His thumb rubbed across her nipple while his tongue devoured her mouth.
Her pussy wept with desire for her two men. Garrick had undressed and came to stand behind her. He brushed her long hair aside and kissed her neck and across the back of her shoulders. Then his hands went around her middle and unsnapped her pants. He slid them and her panties down to her boots.
“Kohana, we have to let her sit on the bed so we can remove her boots and the rest of her clothes.”
Kohana raised his head and smiled at Cora. “Just a second, darlin’, and we’ll continue.”
Cora sat on the bed and watched as each one pulled a boot off. Garrick removed the rest of her clothes. Kohana lifted her to the middle of the bed. He got in on the left side and Garrick on the right.
“Comfortable,” Kohana asked as he rolled her to face him.
“Who wouldn’t be with two gorgeous cowboys rubbing their hands all over my body?”
Garrick was rubbing her back and moving toward her buttocks. Kohana had clasped her breasts in his hands.
His fingers rolled her pinched nipples, sending a flood of sensations and warmth to her core.
When Garrick got to her buttocks, he massaged them and her juices flowed freely from her hungry pussy. Then he reached around, separated her folds with his fingers, and rubbed across her clit.
A raging fire of desire spread from her tiptoes to the top of her head. “Please, make love to me now,” she said in a demanding voice.
Kohana chuckled. “We are making love to you. We’re just getting started.”
Her heart throbbed with excitement. She studied Kohana’s lean, tanned face. His gray eyes shone like silver and he’d clamped his jaw tight. She saw it was an effort for him to hold back.
Her hand clamped around his pulsating cock where it lay against her stomach. “Are you sure you’re just starting?” she purred.
He didn’t answer. His mouth captured hers and explored every crevice. Her tongue tangled with his in the dance of desire.
Garrick kissed the small of her back and rubbed his fingers between her lower lips. “You’re wet and ready,” he murmured against her skin.
Her pussy clenched and unclenched with the need to have one of them deep inside her. Her heart raced in her chest.
Kohana’s tongue tantalized her buds which had swollen to their fullest. When Garrick slipped two fingers into her pussy and brushed across her G-spot, Cora yelled out and her body vibrated with rhythmic pleasure.
Garrick moved and rolled her on her back. He grabbed a condom, rolled it on, and thrust inside her pulsating pussy.
Kohana moved back and sat at the head of the bed, while Garrick plunged in and out. Having Kohana watching them gave her a reckless, naughty feeling which heightened her responses. Raw passion raced in her veins and an insatiable desire rose within her for these two men. She gasped for breath as her body hummed with delight.
Garrick slowed and kissed her belly. His eyes had darkened to an emerald green, and they glowed with his love for her.
He pinched one of her nipples as he thrust in hard. A shot of euphoric went up her spine and her body trembled as the most intense orgasm rolled over her.
Garrick pumped in fast several more times keeping her on the edge of a precipice. When he reached his peak, he took them both over together. His cock throbbed hard against her rippling pussy walls, and they held tight to each other.
When Garrick rolled off her, Kohana slid down and whispered in her ear, “After you catch your breath, I want to take you with me in the shower.”
Cora turned toward him and kissed him. “Did you feel left out?”
“No. But I’m turned on, and I want my cock deep inside your sweet pussy.”
“I’m ready to shower, if you are,” she said.
Kohana gathered her into his arms and carried her into the bathroom. He let her down while he adjusted the water. “Step in and see if it’s warm enough for you,” he said.
She put her hand under the running water and adjusted it slightly warmer. Then she got fully in and let the water run over her head and down.
* * * *
Kohana waited a moment before joining her. He wanted to watch the water rushing through her hair and caressing her alabaster skin and curves as it ran down her body. She had her eyes closed and her head held back, which made her breasts stand out and emphasized the curve of her waist and hips.
He got in and lathered his hands with soap. Then he knelt at her feet in a position where he didn’t get drowned. “Lift your foot and put it in my hand.”
She looked down and lifted her foot as he’d commanded. Kohana rubbed along the length of her foot and each toe. Then he moved up her legs massaging his soapy hands along her muscles. At her knee, he kissed the soft spot at the back and continued his upward progress. He ran his finger between her lower lips and inside her pussy opening. She gripped his hair tight and took a deep breath. His soapy hand ran all along her pussy lips before gently rubbing her lower belly.
When she looked down at him, her blue eyes were shining and her face flushed. Her desire for him showed on her face and his hard cock pulsated to get his attention.
Kohana slid upward and cupped her full breasts in his hands. He put his nose in the crevice between and breathed deeply of her natural scent. It had always been a turn on for him. She smelled like prairie wildflowers with a faint touch of musk.
His mouth brushed all over the soft skin of her breasts. She moaned and held his face tight to her.
When his tongue caressed her tight nipples, she grasped his dick. A shot of euphoria went straight to his head.
But he didn’t stop
kissing her nipples or teasing her clit by rubbing and putting pressure on the area.
“Stop,” she called out. “Or I’m going to explode, and I want your cock deep inside me when that happens.”
He quickly rolled the condom on that he’d placed on the ledge of the shower. Then he pulled her legs up and around his waist. Kohana bent and sucked on each nipple. She squirmed trying to get his cock inside her.
He let her position herself before he thrust in deep and hard. Her eyes closed, but he could see the pleasure in her face. He moved in and out slowly until she yelled at him to go faster.
“Are you sure you want me to increase my speed? We can make this last much longer.”
“Faster, now,” she ordered.
“I love a woman who knows what she wants.” He pulled almost out and slammed into her. Faster and faster he thrust into her hot, tight pussy until she arched her back and shouted his name.
Her body shook in his arms and her pussy rippled around his cock as he reached his release. A spasm of intense pleasure shot up his spine and hit his brain. His knees went weak and he had difficulty not sliding to the floor with her.
She bit his shoulder as her pussy tightened on him and his orgasm lasted longer than ever. Finally, he let her feet touch the floor. He showered off and got out.
“I’ll let you finish on your own.” He grabbed a towel and started to walk out of the bath. But he stopped and leaned his head in the shower.
“You’re sure it doesn’t bother you about me going to Atlanta to see the guys?”
She turned to face him with a smile on her face. “No, I realize I was being unfair to you. We have to compromise, right? And I’m certain you’ll understand when I travel to some of the countries where I do physical therapy for people who otherwise would never get it.”
He wasn’t sure how he felt about her going overseas without him. He knew the dangers. But for now he faked it. “I guess you’re right. I can’t ask you to give up doing something you love.”
“It’s a good compromise.”
I’m starting to hate that word. If she says it once more I’m going to lose my cool. I better get out of here.
“I’m going to dress.” He hurried out the door and shut it behind him.
Garrick wasn’t in the bedroom. Kohana hurried and joined him in the living room. “Did you know she goes overseas to poor countries and does her work?” he asked Garrick.
“I’d heard she did. We haven’t really discussed it. Why?”
“She could get hurt or kidnapped. It’s much too dangerous.”
“This is coming from a man about to go back to a very dangerous job. If I was you, I don’t think I’d talk to her about it just yet.”
Kohana raked his hand through his hair. “Damn it, you need to persuade her to stop those trips.”
“I can’t. What she’s doing is important to her. I’d guess even if we marry, she won’t stop until she has children. Then she wouldn’t want to put herself in danger.”
“I…”
“Be careful what you say, here she comes.” Garrick nodded toward the hallway.
Chapter Fourteen
They got back to the ranch just in time to see Kohana’s parents. His dad had decided they’d go home.
“Don’t rush off. Spend the weekend with us,” Garrick said.
“You’ll understand when you get older, but there’s no place like home and your own bed,” Mr. Shanley said. “We appreciate the use of your home and protection when it was needed.”
“Dad and Mom, I’m planning on leaving tomorrow night for Atlanta, but I’ll be in touch,” Kohana said.
“We’d love you to come back and take over the ranch,” his mom said. “Your dad doesn’t want me to tell you, but he had a heart attack about nine months ago. The doctor wants him to take it easier. We were going to hire someone, but if you came home to live it’d be perfect.”
“Wenona, I told you not to tell him. Son, we want you to decide what makes you happy. We can sell the ranch and get a small house nearby. I’ll plant a small garden I can putter around in. You decide what you want. There’s no pressure from us. Right, Wenona?”
“Yes, your dad is right. We have other choices, if you don’t want the ranch.”
“Thanks, you two are the best.” Kohana hugged his parents, and they all waved good-bye.
They walked on in the house. No one said much. Kohana had been surprised when his mother told him his dad had been sick. His father appeared strong and invincible, but Kohana knew his own body was not the same as it was twenty years ago.
In some crazy way he’d expected to come home and find it all as he’d left it. But his parents, Cora, and the town had changed just as he had. He was uneasy about his future. In a way, he’d like to leave tonight. Disconcerted, he wandered restlessly around the living room.
Finally, Garrick suggested they go to the Sunshine Diner for dinner. “They have good food, and no one has to cook,” Garrick said.
“I haven’t been there in ages,” Kohana said. “Let’s change clothes and head out.” Kohana strode off toward his bedroom.
* * * *
Garrick pulled her close. “You are very quiet. Are you worried about something?”
“I’m fine.”
“Everyone says that whether they are or not.” He tilted her chin and kissed her softly on the mouth. “Did you mean it about being okay regarding Kohana leaving?”
“I don’t want someone who’s looking over their shoulder all the time wondering if they made a mistake.”
“You are a smart lady.”
“I talked to a very clever lady today. She made me see if you hold onto to something so tight to keep it, eventually it will be crushed and never the same.”
“Whoever said that is extremely knowledgeable of human nature. I’m going to shower and dress. Meet you out here in thirty minutes.”
“Yes, sir.” She saluted him and marched toward the hallway. She heard him laughing as she went down the hall.
Cora put on a clean pair of jeans and a silky, dark purple shirt and black flats. Then she pulled her long hair back into a ponytail, tied a matching purple scarf around it, and she was ready.
Garrick and Kohana waited in the living room. “I don’t understand how men can get dressed so quickly,” she said. “Sorry, I kept you waiting.”
“You didn’t. We just got out here ourselves,” Garrick said. He led the way and they got in the truck with Cora in the middle.
Kohana and Garrick talked about the ranch and Garrick’s job. Cora listened. She sensed the tension in Kohana’s body and a part of her hurt, but she was determined not to show her feelings.
The Sunshine Diner was full. A number of people got up to greet Kohana and say hello to Cora and Garrick. They finally got seated, and their waitress handed them menus.
“What would you like to drink? I’ll get them for you while you decide what you want to eat.”
“Coffee for me,” Garrick said.
“I’ll second that,” Kohana added.
Cora smiled at the waitress. “I’d like a tall glass of iced tea.”
“Coming right up,” she said and strode off.
“The special is fried chicken with all the trimmings.” Garrick glanced at Kohana and Cora. “That’s what I’m having. My mom called it comfort food.”
“I’m with you. It sounds good.” Kohana put his menu down.
The waitress returned with their drinks and took the men’s order. She looked at Cora. “What would you like?”
“I’ll have the chicken and strawberry salad and the roll.”
“That isn’t much,” Garrick said.
“I’ve been eating twice as much as usual. It’ll be plenty.” Then she grinned. “They have the best desserts and I may indulge in one.”
Their orders came quickly. There wasn’t much talking until they’d ordered pie for dessert.
Then Cora looked across at Kohana. Garrick had sat beside her and the booth only held
two on each side.
“I’ve been thinking, Kohana. I need to get home and back to work, and I think you need to leave in the morning. I’m sure Holt or Gray would fly you to Minneapolis. You can catch a plane to Atlanta from there. They won’t charge you any more than renting a car would cost.”
“I don’t want to take them away from their family on a weekend. I called a place in Willow Junction and I can rent a car there and leave it at the airport.” He looked at Garrick. “Would you mind driving me to Willow Junction tonight? I’ll get a room and leave early tomorrow.”
“No, I’ll drive you. Cora, will you keep me company?”
“Sure, I’ll ride with you.” Her heart ached, and she wanted to be alone and cry, but she couldn’t yet. Forcing a smile, she looked across the table at Kohana.
“It’s a good idea. You can go back and see if it’s still your home.”
“I have to check in with the doctor at the end of the week. Hopefully, he’ll discharge me.” He leaned forward. “Are you sure you’re all right with all of this?”
“I think it’s for the best.” She saw a slight hesitation in his hawkish eyes. She smiled and looked pointedly away toward the waitress. The waitress came right over.
“May I have a refill of my tea to take with me?”
“Certainly, I’ll be right back with it.”
“When I finish these last few bites of my pie, we’d better leave and get your things at the ranch. If we don’t get you to Willow Junction soon, there may not be any hotel rooms available.”
Kohana frowned. “You seem anxious to get rid of me.”
“There’s no sense in prolonging good-byes.”
* * * *
Cora and Garrick went to leave the room Kohana had rented for the night. “Get a good night’s sleep and drive careful,” Cora said.
“See you, buddy. I hope it’s soon,” Garrick walked to the door.
Kohana pulled Cora into his arms. He held her tight, and then kissed her hard. The ferocity of his kiss was frightening and exalting. Is he kissing me good-bye forever, or will he return to me soon?
