She dressed quickly, and when she pulled open the door Jackson’s gaze traveled down her length.
“Looking good.”
She had on a baggy lab coat. Insemination was a dirty job. “I’m ready.” She did pick up a second pair of pants in case the job got messy. “Let’s go.”
When they went downstairs, the woman and her daughter were no longer there. A small part of her was disappointed. The young girl reminded her of Cody. She turned to Jackson. “Do you have any suggestion what I can do to repair the damage from this morning’s event?”
Jackson slipped her hand in his as he escorted her to his truck. He opened the door for her and she scooted in.
Jackson slid into his side. “I think you should go about your business. Cody is fragile. My God, his mom, who was the only person in his life, has died. The kid has been traumatized, but we can’t let him manipulate the adults. He’ll learn that we love him.” He inhaled and looked out the window as if he was thinking of adding something. He started the engine. “I’m considering taking him horseback riding today.”
“I bet he’d love that. I might need help getting Phoebe in the chute first. Then I’ll inseminate her. Do you think Cody would like to watch?”
His scrunched-up nose told her he barely found it tolerable. She couldn’t blame him, but kids often liked gross shit. Literally.
“We’ll see.”
They arrived at the house and Jackson parked by the barn. “Let’s go find our bovine in heat.”
Because Phoebe could have wandered anywhere, Jackson attached a trailer to the back of the sturdy two-person Polaris utility vehicle. That would allow them to travel quickly across the land. Phoebe had a distinctive white patch on the side of her flank and was easy to spot. Another steer was trying to mount her when they arrived, and because she was letting him, she was ready to be impregnated.
As soon as Jackson moved among the cattle, they mooed and separated. With little effort, he was able to place the rope around Phoebe’s neck and led her to trailer. Hailey sighed. The man had such a wonderful way with animals.
He led the cow up the plank and patted her butt. “It’ll be okay, girl. You’ll be back with your friends soon.”
Hailey smiled. She loved when a man talked to the animals. The drive back to the barn seemed all too short. He helped her load Phoebe into the chute, and the poor girl mooed the whole time.
“If you don’t need me anymore,” Jackson said, “I’ll go to see how Tanner and Cody are doing.”
“I’m good.” She stood behind Phoebe and patted her rump. “Aren’t we, girl?”
The cow mooed again. Before Cody came in to go horseback riding with Jackson, Hailey donned her long gloves and squirted on the veterinary lube all over her hand and arm. Praise be for shoulder-length gloves. While she talked soothingly to Phoebe, she retrieved the long metal inseminator rod from the cold storage. She lifted Phoebe’s tail and guided her left hand down the pelvic canal. As she slipped the rod in place, she felt around for the right spot. Bingo. With a release of the semen, she withdrew her arm and the rod, thankful Phoebe hadn’t decided she’d rather sleep. The cow did, however, relieve herself. Somehow, Hailey would never get used to that aspect of the job.
“Good girl.” Hailey undid the rod at the back of the chute and led the animal out of her confines. She walked her out the barn door, removed the rope around her neck, and lightly slapped her rear. Phoebe trotted off. In three weeks, the Baldwins would know if they had a potential offspring.
Just as soon as she cleaned up and was about to check the other animals, Jackson returned with Cody in tow. “You’re done already?” Cody asked.
“Yup. Phoebe is on her way back to her gang.” She felt a little bad for not waiting for Cody. “Maybe next time you can watch.”
“Okay.” His sullenness had returned.
“I hear Jackson is going to teach you to ride.”
His shoulders straightened. He was going be a lady killer one day. “I know how to ride.”
Whoops. Tanner had said Cody was from Denver, but given their financial situation, she found it unlikely he’d ridden often. “Super. Maybe you can show Jackson a few tricks.”
He sucked in his cheek. “I bet Jackson’s real good.”
She bet so, too. She turned to Jackson. “Will you be participating in the rodeo?”
“Yup. Doing the calf roping competition and the bull riding.”
She winced. She didn’t mind the calf roping, but Jackson would get old fast if he rode bulls very often. Maybe the competition wasn’t fierce, as it was a small-town event. “I guess I know who I’ll be cheering on.”
He smiled.
A car pulled up to the barn, but it was one she didn’t recognize. Jackson spun around. “Hey, that’s Charley.” He took two steps and looked back. “Come on, son. I want you to meet a family icon.”
Cody glanced up at her, as if he needed her permission. She nodded and he took off. The conversation was hushed, but the woman who’d been driving didn’t seem pleased Charley wanted to come here. Her face was in a deep scowl and her fist was planted firmly on her hip.
Hailey cleaned her hands, set her messy lab coat off to the side, and stepped out to meet them. Charley caught sight of her, and his eyes widened then glanced back at Jackson. “You hired a girl to take my place?”
If the man hadn’t just been through an operation, she might have given him a piece of her mind. “I’m only here for two weeks. That’s all.” Maybe that was too long for him. “Did you want to come back sooner?” From his stooped shoulders and the way the woman had her arm around his waist, it would be longer than two weeks before the old man was ready to walk the ranch and do his job.
The woman nudged him. “Charley needs his rest, but he wanted to come see the ranch. That’s all.” Her chin notched up.
She didn’t want to get in a pissing match and kept her comment to herself. “I need to change. Excuse me.”
Hailey didn’t make eye contact with anyone as she rushed off. With long strides, she made it into the house. When Hailey reached the hallway, she stopped.
“Oh, crap.”
Tanner poked his head in from the kitchen. “Something wrong?”
She blew out a breath. “I brought something to change into, but I left my bag in Jackson’s car.”
He cocked a brow. “And the problem would be?”
She explained how Charley Higgins and a woman, who she guessed was his wife from the way she was fussing at him, were visiting and that her reception could have frozen every plant on the ranch.
He waved a hand. “Charley doesn’t mean anything by it. Hell, he could have frozen ice on his wife’s ass, too.”
She loved his analogy. “That may be, but I feel a little awkward going back out there.”
Tanner moved toward her. “I’ll get it for you. What am I looking for?”
“You don’t have to go. I’m a big girl and should suck up my courage.”
“I want to see Charley.”
He sounded sincere. “Okay. I’ll wait here.” She told him she’d left her pants in a plastic bag on the front seat of Jackson’s truck.
He wrinkled his nose. “You do kind of smell.”
She laughed. “You can thank Phoebe for that.”
As soon as he rushed out, she grabbed a glass of water and sat at the center island careful not to rub against anything.
Tanner returned a few minutes later. “Charley’s not looking too good.”
“I have nothing to compare it to, but his face had appeared rather ashen.”
Tanner pulled out a bottle of water from the fridge and chugged it down. “I’ve only known him a few years, but in that time, he’s gone downhill.”
Sad. “I guess I better change.”
She picked up the bag containing her clean pair of slacks and went into his bedroom. Once inside, she removed her soiled pants and had stuffed them in the bag when Tanner came in. She was still in her panties.
Hail
ey looked up. “Tanner?”
He said nothing as he strutted toward her. He removed the bag from her hand, along with the clean slacks from her grasp, and placed them in the corner. He returned, his gaze on her face. Looking like a starving man, he wrapped his arms around her waist and backed her up to the door.
Just as she was going to ask what he was doing, he showed her. His lips descended on hers, and not only did the kiss melt her, every cell in her body exploded with need. Yesterday had made her yearn for more.
He broke the kiss and buried his head in her shoulder. “I have to have you. I don’t care about Jackson’s damn rules.”
Joy infused her. Her pussy ached and her heart raced.
He stepped back. “I need to take that back. I can’t have you lose control.”
Now he was talking nonsense. “What do you mean?”
“If I let you touch me whenever you want, you might forget when you’re with Jackson.”
She needed to be clear. “So you want me to obey you while we’re in the bedroom?” At first she’d wanted to be given free reign, but she had to admit those few minutes of thinking she could do as she wished didn’t bring as much excitement as when she had to control herself.
“Yes.”
“Okay. Now what?”
“Take off your clothes,” Tanner said. “And be quick.”
Yes! Yes! Yes!
He stepped back, toed off his boots, and kicked them to the side. As soon as his shirt disappeared, her fingers stopped as she drank in his glory.
“Hailey?”
“Oh, sorry. I was distracted by your amazing body.”
“I’m hoping to distract you even more in a minute.”
He hadn’t mentioned that his son could come back looking for him at any time, but she bet it was in the back of his mind, so she matched his speed. She’d already discarded her shoes and pants before he’d come in. All that was left were her shirt, sweater, bra, and panties. Yikes. She better hurry.
She stripped down to her underwear and stopped. She wanted Tanner to take them off her because he’d already removed his underwear and was just standing there with the most gloriously thick, long cock she’d ever seen.
“Holy shit, Batman. You are big.”
He grinned. “The better to make love with you.”
As a vet she couldn’t help but do some comparisons. This man would match any of the animals she’d treated. Oh, my.
Naked, Tanner closed the gap between them. “Do you need help?” He nodded to her bra.
“Yes, lots of help.” How could she feel so comfortable with him in such a short period of time? She came up with no real answer, but it didn’t matter. The fact was, she did.
Tanner dropped to his knees, and she groaned. From his action, he wasn’t going to be kind by stripping her of her panties and fucking her hard. Nope. He was going to lick her until she became almost unconscious again before he gave her what she wanted.
She needed to touch his cock and lick him until he begged for her pussy. Somehow, she didn’t think that was how their lovemaking would progress. He lowered her panties until they hugged her thighs.
Tanner inhaled. “I love how you smell.”
He ran his tongue on top of her pussy lips and lightly massaged the folds. She dropped her head against the door and palmed the wood to keep her breathing under control. She wanted to widen her legs, but the panties restricted her.
“Are you going to torture me, Master?”
Tanner shot to his feet and bent her over. The three strong slaps to her ass caught her off guard. Here she thought only Jackson truly demanded total submission. Her ass pulsed, and while the pain was brief, it caused her honey to explode.
He rubbed her rear. “I really didn’t want to do that, but you can’t question me.”
She still didn’t think it was fair, but the result had been exceptional. In fact, she was tempted to tease him again just to get more spankings. Wait a minute. Wasn’t he the one who’d told Jackson not to pull his “Dom shit” so soon? It didn’t matter. She liked it. “How about taking off my panties so you can spank me properly?”
“Your insolence, sugar, will not be tolerated.” She caught the humor in his tone.
The next three slaps weren’t as hard as the first ones, but oh, did they feel good. “Thank you, Master, for setting me straight.”
“That’s better. Now I think I’ll get rid of these lacy panties so I can lick you properly.”
About damned time. She yearned to have him lap up her cream, as her clit was throbbing so hard and her legs had weakened.
“Someone is excited.”
Because his comment wasn’t posed as a question she couldn’t answer. If he didn’t give her his cock this time, she’d find a rope, sneak into his room tonight, and tie him down. Okay, that would never happen, but a girl had to dream.
He pried open her lower lips and flicked his tongue over her opening. Groans and moans flew out of her mouth. She clenched her hands to keep from touching him. The man must have been made of steel. She’d climaxed last night, but he hadn’t.
Tanner gave a few good swipes of his tongue then stood. He replaced his mouth with his fingers. The first plunge made her almost scream. He drove in two fingers and hit her sweet spot over and over again. She clamped down on him.
His lips hovered over hers. “When my cock’s inside you don’t clench. If you do, I’ll lose it.”
At this point, she’d probably tip over the edge on his very first thrust. “I’ll try, Master.” Saying that word of respect was getting easier.
He chuckled. “You’ll have to do better than that, or your experience won’t be as fulfilling.”
He so didn’t understand. Anything he did would be amazing.
Tanner continued to thrust and probe his fingers into her while he lowered his head and sucked on her nipple. His light touch on her breast was wonderful, but she wanted more pressure, more pain, more Tanner.
“Harder, Master. Please?”
From the way he was hurrying, he didn’t want to stop and take the time to punish her either. His teeth scraped over the swollen nub. She drew in her bottom lip, loving every tug. Her nipples hardened and turned more sensitive with each stroke. Just when she was about to toss away caution and climax, he stepped back. She opened her eyes. Why had he stopped?
“Little sub, drop to your knees and suck my cock. And take all of him into your mouth.”
Thrills and defeat collided. She’d dreamed last night of licking him, but anatomically there was no way he would fit. He pinched her nipple, and she jerked out of her erotic haze.
She lowered her gaze and dropped to her knees on the soft carpet. He grabbed his cock and lowered it so she could embrace his wonderful hard shaft.
“Remember, no hands. Place them on your head so you won’t be tempted.”
Damn rules. Here she planned to roll his balls in her palm and drive him up the wall. Instead of drawing him into her mouth, she dragged her tongue up his length as soft as a blade of grass blowing in the summer wind. His vein throbbed. She loved it.
“That is unacceptable.”
“I’m sorry, Master.” Inwardly, she grinned.
Desperately wanting to take him to the edge, she opened her mouth and encased the head of his cock. The spicy tang of his pre-cum ramped up her desire, and she ran her tongue along the crease to slurp up his juice.
He placed a splayed hand on her head. “Suck. On. My. Cock.”
She debated asking him what her delicious punishment would be if she didn’t do as he’d asked, but a tiny part of her feared he might just walk out, and that would be absolutely horrible.
This time she drew him into her mouth as far as he would go. Unfortunately, not even half fit. She bobbed her head and sucked hard, but even on the next pass, she got no farther.
“Swallow to open your throat.”
His command sounded curt, but underneath the tone was laced with desperation. He wanted her as much as she wanted hi
m. Desiring to please him, she drew him into her mouth and swallowed. Success! She was able to take in an extra inch. Still, there was too much she wasn’t able to pleasure. This time, she edged upward using the edge of her teeth. On the downward stroke, she once more swallowed, but this time, Tanner pressed on her head and the cock slammed against the back of her throat. She gagged.
“Breathe, sugar.” She did and soon the panic passed. His cock edged in deeper. Gaining more confidence, she went faster and faster until he grabbed her hair and stepped back. “Stop. Too much. I am weak.”
She wanted to look up but feared he might not be happy if she did. If she had any chance of being with these men, she had to remember to obey all the rules.
“Stand please.”
She did, but she still cast her gaze downward and held her hands on her head.
Tanner lifted her chin with his finger. “You are the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. I love how you work hard to please me, to do as I’ve asked. Now, I will pleasure you. Would you like that?”
Was a rock hard? “Yes, Master, but I need a cock really, really badly.” If he spent a long time licking her and sucking on her tits, she’d go nuts.
He laughed. “Then a cock you shall have.”
Chapter Eleven
Tanner twisted Hailey around. “Put your palms on the door and spread your legs.” Adrenaline pumped through her body as she did as he asked. “Now stick out your ass.” She moved back a little, a little embarrassed that her cream was dripping down her leg. “A little more, sugar.” He guided her hips so far back that her upper body was practically parallel to the ground. “Now close your eyes.”
The thought of him doing something forbidden excited her as she shut her eyes. Drawers opened. Suddenly, a cloth covered her eyes, and her pulse soared. She’d never been blindfolded, and the sensation startled her at first.
“You okay with this, sugar? I know I should be waiting weeks if not months for this, but I think you’ll enjoy our lovemaking more if you can’t see.”
She took a second to think about it. With her hands free, she’d be ability to take off the blindfold if need be. “I’m good.”
