Down the Dirt Road (The Dirt Road Series Book 1)

by Livell James

  “I can’t shoot you, Lucas!” Kaylee screamed.

  “You can and you will or all of this stops now. Did Edwin teach you how to shoot? Do you know how to use the gun, or do you need me to show you?”

  With shaking hands, Kaylee tried to get some of the moisture back into her mouth, so she could answer him, but her mind was again plagued with questions. How could he ask her to do this? She had just told him she wanted a future, and he was telling her to end it before it even got started.

  She managed a whispered, “I know how to use it,” but then needed to turn away for a second. Kaylee realized she needed to be as strong as Lucas. He was going to do something he feared because she asked him to. She needed to trust what she believed was true, really was; he wouldn’t hurt her, so the gun wouldn’t be needed at all.

  “Okay,” Kaylee said, clicking off the gun safety. “I promise if at any point your beast goes to attack me, I will shoot. That’s all I can promise, Lucas. Regardless of what comes out of your body, I will not shoot unless it is absolutely necessary.”

  This time when he started to take off his clothes, Kaylee was too preoccupied by the gun in her hand to truly appreciate his beauty. His shirt already gone, he kicked off his heavy boots, bending to remove his pants. She wasn’t the least bit ashamed to admit that even in her state of fear, she glanced at his lower region to get a peek at his manhood. Unfortunately, she missed it because he never straightened his body. There was a blur or glimmer, she wasn’t sure which, and a coal black wolf was standing in front of her, instead of Lucas. This wolf was bigger than any wolf she had ever seen in the wild or captivity. His eyes were the most amazing shade of cooper. She didn’t feel one iota of fear.

  Dropping the gun and falling to her knees, Kaylee held her hands out to the wolf and waited. The wolf was cautious, but within seconds, he came to her. Kaylee let him smell her, laughing at how his cold nose felt against her hand. Feeling braver, Kaylee moved her hand to the scruff of the wolf’s neck, running her fingers through the thick fur. When the wolf moved closer and licked her cheek, Kaylee giggled and knew in her heart, she would never have anything to fear from Lucas or his Other side.

  Then they played; it was just what Kaylee needed. She ran around, laughing, letting the wolf chase her. The wolf got in her way, causing her to fall to the ground, but she noticed he took most of her weight and prevented her from any harm. Kaylee was laying on her back looking up at the wolf, laughing. She started to pet him again, and he nuzzled her with his snout, making her laugh harder. This was the happiest she had felt in a really long time.

  Kaylee was so overjoyed, she hugged the animal close. One minute she was hugging fur and fighting off wolf licks, the next, she was hugging warm skin. Kaylee pulled back a little and smiled.

  “Your animal is beautiful, and Lucas, I was right, you could never hurt me.” And then he was kissing her, all six-foot-four naked inch of him.

  Chapter 14

  Kaylee was in heaven! She loved the feeling of Lucas’ weight on top of her body. The feel of his hard length pressed against her most intimate spot made her core soften and weep, preparing her for his possession. The merriment she had felt playing with his wolf left her, and a new feeling enveloped her body—need, lust, and heat were controlling her actions now. Kaylee boldly leaned forward and kissed him deeply.

  “I told you, Lucas, you’ll never hurt me, no part of you could ever hurt me,” she said, cupping his face, pulling him back to her.

  This time though, Kaylee wasn’t the aggressor with the kiss as she intended. Lucas was in full control, taking the kiss from sweet and sultry to hot and urgent at Mach speed. Kaylee wasn’t passive though, she was just as needy for him as he seemed to be for her. Lucas used everything part of him in the kiss. His tongue penetrated her mouth with force, thrusting in a way which promised more. His lips devoured hers, only to stop, so he could place tiny little nips against her own when she tried to take over, showing her who was in charge.

  Kaylee couldn’t think of a single place she would rather be. She loved the way Lucas was playing her body like the strings on a guitar, like the rock star she thought he was the day they met. The way he laid his tall, lanky body, caging her from head to toe, caused spirals of delight to course throughout her. Kaylee wasn’t going to miss this opportunity to finally touch him, all of him. Using her hands, she explored every inch of his smooth skin within reach. Rubbing his sides, shoulders, and back, longing to be able to feel more.

  She knew he approved by the sounds he was making and the urgency of his own movements as he kissed her deeper. When he dropped his hips and ground against her, she knew by the long, thick, hard length of him, he was just as aroused as she was. His hands were sliding over her clothes, making her wish for the power to make them disappear, so she was just as naked as he was. Kaylee moved her hands lower, cupping his ass to bring him more firmly against where she needed him most.

  Lucas stopped her, pulling her hands back, then linking them together with his, lifting them until he held them over her head. Kaylee grunted her disapproval while nipping his supple bottom lip with her teeth. Lucas smiled against her lips, then pulled her arms up further, causing her breasts to rub up against his muscular chest. Kaylee couldn’t help her throaty moan. The sensation of the fabric covering her breast abrading her skin in just the right way caused her nipples to tighten even further. Wanting more, Kaylee arched her back, pushing herself even further into him. Lucas started kissing his way down her neck; Kaylee almost wanted to cry when he stopped to take her in.

  “Damn, Kaylee, you smell so good, I can’t get enough of you,” Lucas said as he once again pressed into her body. When he suddenly stood, Kaylee was going to protest, but the sight of him in all his naked glory stopped her. This man was gorgeous. The sight of him simply took her breath away.

  He was so cut and perfect, he seemed unreal to her; the fact he wanted her only increased her desire for him. She was a simple girl; she knew she was cute, not necessarily pretty, but cute, at least, that’s what everyone had always said. Having this gorgeous man look at her the way he did made her feel beautiful for the first time in her life.

  She wasn’t in his league, not even close, but damn, she was going to go for it with everything she had. He didn’t have a single flaw, from his beautiful face to his sculpted chest, she let her eyes travel down to his amazing eight-pack. Leaning against that eight-pack was the largest cock she had ever seen; it was so long it stretched above his navel and was thick enough, she was sure her fingers wouldn’t be able to meet when she put them around the beast. Something she wanted to do, but refrained because she wanted to see what he planned next. If he stopped this, she would take matters, literally, into her own hands and change his mind.

  She couldn’t stop herself from licking her lips though. Lucas must have liked that because his cock twitched and a bead of pearly white pre-cum dotted the angry, red head of his plum-shaped crown. Kaylee wanted to taste him, lick him like an ice cream cone, leaving no vein, notch, or silky piece of skin unmarked by her touch. She wanted to feel that thickness in her mouth as it stretched her lips and jaw. The ache in her center increased, causing her to rub her thighs together, adding some friction, trying to relieve the ache on her own.

  Their make-out session, plus the sight of him, and she was on the verge of coming. All she needed was just a little more pressure, and she would explode in a million little pieces. Lucas’ growl should have stopped her, but she was too far gone, she needed more, she needed him.

  “Kaylee, I want to be a gentleman, but if you keep looking at me like that, all bets are off. I’m going to fuck you right here on the cold ground and not give one fuck about who might see us or hear you scream.” Kaylee wanted to plead with him, hell, beg him to make that happen. “You deserve better than that. I want to spend hours touching, tasting, and taking your body, that can’t happen out here.”

  Kaylee didn’t care about what Lucas thought she deserved, she only knew that, at tha
t moment, she wanted him desperately. Lucas made the decision for her, grabbing her hand and pulling her to her feet. The move took Kaylee by surprise, caused her balance to falter, and her to fall into his body. The feel of his warm skin under her palms made them both moan in pleasure. Her hands planted on his chest, on impulse, she brushed her thumbs across his nipples.

  “Fuck it,” Lucas said and scooped her up, throwing Kaylee over his shoulder. “Time for you to meet my vampire side, babe, hold on.”

  Kaylee gasped at the impact of her stomach hitting his shoulder, but his urgency added to the Neanderthal move turned her on even more. She should have been paying attention to what Lucas had said instead of what her body demanded because when he took off, the landscape blurred, it was dizzying. She felt the solidness of his shoulder, but the rest of her felt weightless, like she was flying. His speed truly amazed her.

  One minute they were moving, and the next, they had stopped. She could hear Lucas’ feet pounding up the stairs, and when she pulled her body up, using his ass as a brace, she realized they were at her cabin. Lucas didn’t put her down until they were through the door.

  Once her feet hit the solid surface, he had her pushed up against the wall next to the door. Lucas placed open-mouth kisses to her jaw and throat, sucking lightly with each kiss, only to come back to her mouth, devouring her again.

  Desperate to feel her skin against his, Kaylee started to take off her clothes while Lucas showered her with his amazing kisses. Her jacket was easy; already left open, she just nudged it off her shoulders and it fell to the ground. Kaylee didn’t want to interrupt the delicious things Lucas was doing to her neck, but she needed her shirt and bra gone.

  Lucas solved the problem for her by ripping the fabric of her t-shirt down the middle, exposing her black lace-covered breasts. Kaylee arched into him, rubbing the rough fabric over her distended nipples. She had never in her life been so thankful for choosing this specific bra. Lucas moved his hand between them, using his adept fingers to snap open her bra with a flick of his fingers, allowing her heavy breast to spill free, landing freely in his open palm. He continued kissing her neck and shoulder, moving his lips closer with each one of her panted breaths to the prize he held in his hands. The moment his lips made contact with her breast, Kaylee screamed out his name.

  Lucas didn’t stop, continuing to play her like a well-used guitar, strumming, plucking, and gliding his mouth and fingers across her breasts, mumbling “Damn, Kaylee” every time she moaned or moved closer to her release.

  After a while, the pleasure became too much. Kaylee let out a deep gasp and tried to push him away, but Lucas grabbed her chin, making her look deep into his beautiful, gold eyes. She knew both his Beasts were close, making the moment more special. She wanted all of him.

  “Kaylee, I want you, tell me you want me back, otherwise this all stops now,” Lucas growled in an inhuman voice.

  “Yes, Lucas, take me, please, I can’t handle much more.”

  Lucas smiled at her, brushing his fingertip against her cheek, slowly moving it down to her throat. After a few brushes of his fingers, he encircled her neck with his hand, applying a little pressure, not enough to hurt her or make it difficult to breathe, just enough to let her know he was in control, and they would be doing things his way. It was the first time she saw his dominate nature, and it only added to all that she was feeling.

  “You're mine, Kaylee, I can’t fully claim you yet, not until you’ve come into your magic, but by saying yes, know that one day soon, I will be making that claim and everyone will know exactly who you belong to, understand?”

  Kaylee moan, she wanted that and so much more, “Yes, Lucas, please, just do something,” Kaylee begged. “I’ve never felt like this before, it’s almost too much.”

  “It will never be too much between us, Kaylee, it will always be everything.”

  She felt his other hand brush over the waistband of her jeans. When he moved his hand off of her neck, she mourned its loss. She liked the feeling of safety and control it provided because, right now, everything was out of control. She had never been aroused to the point of pain, but that’s where she found herself now, and Lucas was the only thing holding her together.

  Lucas brushed his hand down the side of her neck to her chest, stroking lightly across the side of her breast down to her to hip. Her skin was so sensitized, she started to tremble.

  When he got down on his knees, she sucked in a breath; Kaylee doubted this man ever got on his knees for any reason. He was too strong, too dominant to kneel before anyone; that he was doing it before her, in Kaylee’s mind, further cemented his feelings for her. As he started kissing a line down her body, Kaylee fell back against the wall. Her legs were shaking so badly, she had to lock them to remain standing. When he circled her bellybutton with his tongue, Kaylee’s core clenched, releasing more of her arousal into her already soaked panties.

  Panties which, a second later, lay on the floor, somewhere behind him. How he had managed to strip her of her pants and underwear without her knowledge was beyond her comprehension at the moment, she was just so happy they were gone from her body. When his nose nuzzled her mound, she could feel herself blossoming for him.

  “I need to taste you Kaylee. Your scent, the smell of honeysuckle, has been driving me crazy since the first day we met.”

  “Please, Lucas, anything.” She felt his tongue as it penetrated her slit, licking through her folds until he flattened it against her clit. Kaylee had a fleeting thought—the kisses he had given her before were amazing, but this one was by far her favorite. It only took seconds for her to explode, her body slumping in ecstasy.

  Lucas only allowed her a second to catch her breath and come back to earth. He grabbed her ass, lifting her up. Kaylee instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist, her arms around his shoulders.

  “Babe, this is going to be quick. I need you so much, I don’t know how long I’m going to last without feeling your heat around my cock.”

  “Please, I need that too, hurry,” Kaylee pleaded, tilting her hips forward. The move brought his cock to the opening of her slick channel. Kaylee knew if she moved her hips just a little, he would be inside her, exactly where she wanted him, but Lucas had other ideas.

  He stopped her movements with a firmer grip on her ass and hips and asked, “Are you sure you want this Kaylee? Are you sure you want me to make you mine?”

  “YES!!” Kaylee screamed. “Please, Lucas.”

  Her scream was all it took for Lucas thrust into her body, not stopping until he was touching her womb, and they were joined together as one for the first time.

  “Fuck, babe, you are so damn hot and tight,” he said through gritted teeth.

  Kaylee whimpered and tried to grind into him further, the ache in her belly had returning tenfold.

  “Don’t fucking move, Kaylee, or I’m going to lose it before this even begins, and I don’t think either one of us wants that to happen. Just give me a minute to get myself under control. I want to hear all those dirty little noises you’re making right now for the rest of the night, not just a few seconds.”

  Kaylee was already squirming and moaning uncontrollably, but she tried to do as he asked. The feel of him inside her body, stretching her so tight, felt amazing. But when he started to move, rocking back and forth, in and out, hitting all those spots in her, she couldn’t hold back any longer, meeting him thrust for thrust. Urging him to go harder, faster.

  “FUCK, YES, oh my God, Lucas,” were the only coherent words Kaylee seemed capable of saying, and she repeated them all over and over.

  “Cum, Kaylee, now!” Lucas barked. Kaylee’s body responded as if it knew the truth of exactly who owned her; Lucas Valentin owned every inch of her. Seconds later, Kaylee blacked out as the most amazing orgasm exploded within her body. She saw fireworks, the stars, even the heavens. Sex had never been like this for her before, but then again, she was pretty sure her ecstasy had everything to do with this man and her fee
lings for him.

  His thrust and retreats were coming faster now, harder, but with less rhythm; Kaylee knew he was going to come. She could feel him growing larger, stretching her further. Forcing her eyes open, she watched as he tilted his head back, neck muscles straining, veins popping, and yelled out her name. When she felt the molten hot splash of his cum hitting her womb, she went flying again. Only this time, she didn’t come back from the flight.

  Chapter 15

  It took Lucas several minutes to be able to stand up straight or even consider walking. He’d known being with Kaylee was going to be an amazing experience, but he had never expected to be completely blown away. He had never come so hard in his life.

  She had been so tight and wet for him, he had almost come way too soon. It had been a test of will over his body’s needs and what his brain wanted. He was thankful his need to make her come while deep inside her won out; her pleasure would always come first.

  Gripping her ass more firmly, Lucas stood, still deep within her and could feel his cock hardening again. Looking down at the bundle in his arms, he realized Kaylee was passed out cold; he smiled, kissing her forehead.

  “Babe, are you okay?” When she didn’t answer him, Lucas decided he needed to move this party to somewhere softer. He had plans for Kaylee.

  Looking over his shoulder, he considered taking her upstairs to the king-sized bed he knew was up there, but his legs weren’t quite ready to take the stairs. Spying the plush carpet in front of the stone fireplace, he decided it was the next best option. Turning with her still in his arms and himself lodge deeply, he groaned when the move caused his cock to lose its silken glove.

  He would be inside her again soon enough, now, he needed to take care of her. Laying her out on the carpet, Lucas stood there for a few minutes, just looking at her. Kaylee was a goddess to him. Her long blond, purple-tipped hair spread around her like a halo. Her gorgeous face looked peaceful in her slumber, but the tinge of pink on her cheeks and the tiny smile on her lips made him think of a siren.
