She took his hand and led him to her bedroom and as they stood facing each other by her bed, he began to undress and he hoped she would too. As he toed off his boots, he noticed she was beginning to get bare. Just the thought of her naked body made his cock swell and twitch. As he slid down his pants taking his underwear with them, his cock popped out as if it had been held under pressure.
Twila’s eyes were immediately drawn to it and they widened with wonder. It made him feel masculine pride that she seemed drawn to his shaft. Now her eyes worked their way up his body lingering on his well-defined abs. His chest pushed out a little, he couldn’t help himself. His eyes were also pulled to Twila’s now exposed body.
“Come to me, Sweetheart.” He directed and she stepped closer. This time when he wrapped his arms around her, he felt her warm and soft skin. Trail planned to be gentle, because Twila needed to see that all males weren’t abusive or rough. Her needs would always come first with him.
Trail kissed her like he was burning for her because he was. He feasted on her mouth exploring every nook and cranny and dancing with her tongue before he moved on. Picking her up into his arms, he held her close for a moment before he laid her out on the bed. Moving over top of her, he corralled her in with his body. His arms held his weight of her as his mouth began to move down her neck kissing and nipping, licking and tasting his female’s essence as he moved lower until he arrived at her breasts.
Such lovely nipples and her breasts were a little more than even his big hands could hold. His hand moved to one breast, cupping and plucking at her nipple while his mouth moved to the other sucking and nibbling on its luscious nipple until it became hard and sensitive.
Sweet Twila moaned and writhed, her desire fully engaged. Her need only made his increase. This female, his mate, made everything mean so much more than it ever had before. If he’d ever doubted she was his, which he never had, this would cement his certainty. The bonds that were forming were strong and they wanted to be locked into place but he had agreed not to.
Moving down from her breasts, he licked tasting her salty sweet skin. He laved her navel making her wiggle with desire. When he moved to her lower belly, she shivered knowing where he headed. Once he had his head between her legs, he drew in a deep breath enjoying the scent of her wanting. It was his intention to fully satisfy and soon.
His tongue snaked out getting a taste of heaven then returning for more. Sweet as a berry, but tangy was her taste. Trail dived in with his tongue trying to get his fill of her taste but it would never be enough. One finger slid into her channel, stretching and preparing her for the possession that was to come. Another was added once the first moved in and out easily.
Trail’s tongue worried her nubbin and her fingers moved into his hair as if she wanted to hold him there forever. He had no intention of leaving before he gave her the pleasure she needed. His fingers moved deeper and faster and he added one more to prepare her for the girth of his cock. His tongue circled her clit, driving her wild and her fingers pulled at his hair holding his face still between her legs. She moaned and wailed with need wanting just a little more to push her over the edge so he nipped at her clit.
Twila froze for just a second before she went wild with her release. Wetness flooded from her and he licked up every drop enjoying the wonderful taste. She thrashed wildly, but eventually began to calm down. Now it was time to fill her with his shaft and ride her until he came.
Chapter 5
Mine
Trail slid up her body and she knew he was going to sink inside her. She wanted, no needed, him to. She spread her legs a little wider to encourage him and she could now feel his cockhead knocking at her entrance. Twila felt both excited and terrified. He was larger than anyone she’d ever taken, but he had prepared her well. Her mind was frightened while her body ached for him.
Slowly, so slowly it made her want to scream, he slid his shaft inside her. He stilled as he looks down at her, trying to judge if she’s ready. The pinch of being overstuffed started to ease and she wraps her legs around his hips and arches toward him. Now he begins to move.
He was magnificent, her mate, as he moves in and out of her slowly but gaining speed. Her moans encourage him and he fills her to the limit each time he drives inside her. The bonds began to tighten, she could feel the ties pulling against them both. The bond was emotional as well as physical and mental. It was more than she had expected, but how would she have known? Her parents had never talked about this.
Now Trail drove in hard and fast. Pleasure washed over her and the friction built tension. Twila wanted to come so badly. She was hanging there on the edge with bliss just out of reach. She felt Trail’s hand slide between her and he pinched her clit setting her off like a firecracker. Her body exploded and she arched under him her channel clutching at him.
His body was caught up in her orgasm. Her body clutched and squeezed so tightly, he blew and she could feel the heat as he sent his seed into her. Trail’s body pounded her as he jerked and emptied his essence into her. It had felt so damn good she wondered why she’d waited so long. Twila knew, deep inside, that this had changed everything.
Trail rolled them over even though he still twitched with pleasure. Twila was spread out on top of him, her hair a curtain across his chest. Her hand stroked him restlessly without thought as she tried to figure out how she felt now. Since she’d met him right after she’d freed herself, everything had been moving toward this moment. They both knew it and while Trail had worked toward it, she’d fought it as long as she could. The attraction, and all that came with it, had finally won out.
Twila closed her eyes and let the wonder of the moment sink in. Lying across her future mate, she knew they would finish this soon. The feelings were too strong to fight much longer. Trail had showed her signs of becoming what she needed and that was hers alone. Was she a bad mate because she needed to be sure? As she contemplated her new life, Twila fell asleep.
It was later that she felt Trail move but she was too tired to worry about it. She just fell back to sleep without a thought until the alarm went off. When she rubbed her tired eyes, she noticed she was alone in bed. That’s when she remembered he’d gotten out of bed in the middle of the night. Apparently, he hadn’t come back to bed, or at least not her bed. It was disappointing, but since they hadn’t discussed much of anything before jumping in bed, she couldn’t get mad.
Twila got up, took a shower, dried, and dressed. She had a busy day today, so she fixed a sandwich and headed downstairs. The door was standing open and the office had been ransacked. This put a different light on the fact that Trail was nowhere to be seen. Not sure what to do, she called Tyne. Maybe she should have called Trail, but she was still a little miffed at him. She also could have called Naqi, but they seemed to be bothering him all the time lately. He was doing them favors but he wasn’t involved in the business. Eventually he might get tired of helping out.
“Hello Sis. What’s up?” Moe asked.
“Trail disappeared last night after our date. I wasn’t worried, until this morning. The office has been messed up, again, and the door stood open this morning.”
“What? They did it again?” Tyne asked pissed.
“Someone did it and Trail is missing.”
“I see you’re worried about him. I’ll call Naqi and see what he can do.”
“Thank you, Tyne.”
“What are brothers for? We’ll find him and he better have a good excuse for worrying you.”
“If I didn’t think he did, I wouldn’t worry that he was gone.”
“Point taken. I’m on it and Moe will be available if you need anything.”
Twila wondered what Tyne thought Moe could do from hundreds of miles away, but she didn’t ask. He was trying to help and asking would upset him. She talked to Moe a little while longer with the ear piece on so she could start the coffee and clean things up. Moe said goodbye and Twila got things looking okay before Ray arrived with his wife right behind hi
m. They were a cute couple and Twila felt guilty for not telling them what had just happened.
It wasn’t her call and Tyne had instructed them to tell the new hires nothing until they were sure they could trust them. Ray left right away and Rita stayed to start her first day at work. Twila was pleased once Rita got started. The woman was all that, just like Ray had described. In just thirty minutes of being shown how things were done, Rita was doing them on her own.
If Twila hadn’t felt so overworked and happy to have help, she might have felt inadequate by comparison. Instead, she felt relieved and got to work on some of the other things she’d put off. She contacted some more potential employees and sent a message to the super tracker she’d hired to find the people who were after her and the others who worked at her brother’s company.
While Twila organized the store room and prepared sets of tools and equipment for the new guys, Rita covered the office admirably. Dealing with people wasn’t what Twila wanted to do right now with Trail missing. The phone rang, her private cell phone and she grabbed it almost falling in her rush to answer it.
“Hello?”
“Twila?”
“Yes.”
“This is Naqi. Trail called me just now. He’s been tracking the men that vandalized the office. The police are enroute but he’ll probably be tied up until late. He wanted you to know he’s fine and couldn’t call because he was tracking.” Relief rolled over her.
She felt better, but now there were other things to consider. Could she wait while he was on dangerous jobs worrying the whole while? Was it too late to pull away and leave her heart intact? Her life hadn’t been the best before, but she hadn’t cared about anyone there. Now she cared about her family and Trail. Twila had been freed from slavery but tied to the people she loved. Whether she admitted it or not, Trail was one of those people.
Naqi told her what Trail had done and how he’d ended up following the criminals. She couldn’t fault him, it was what they did. Detectives followed the clues and Trail was one of their best. Twila knew that these kinds of problems were usual. It would be rare that he would risk his life like he was doing right now. Turning away from his life’s work would also be impossible for him. He might try, but he’d be one miserable wolf.
All this reflecting was making Twila feel like she would be one miserable mate. She would stay home and do all the worrying. Maybe they could come to some kind of understanding. They would have to if they wanted things to work. Having come to a decision, she felt better and was ready to grab life by the horns, so to speak.
Now she headed out to the office to speak to Rita. “How has it been going? I wasn’t expecting you to do everything alone.”
“It’s okay. This is not as bad as what my old boss made me do. I was going to ask if you needed anyone to cover the evening shift.” Rita asked.
“I certainly wouldn’t mind someone sharing that with me. It’s more of an on call kind of thing. If an alarm goes off, you have to call whatever guard is first up for checking out alarms. If it’s a real emergency, you call guards and the police first, then you call Tyne.”
“He’s the owner, right?”
“Yes, and he’s very proactive. If anything serious happens, he wants to know.”
“That’s a change from what I’m used to. The old boss wanted us to deal with everything. Even though I didn’t have much respect for the man, everyone losing their jobs was a hard hit for our community. I think Mr. Gusso took a run for the border. That man will never be back unless he’s in cuffs.”
“It was that serious? I thought he just went under.”
“He did, but it was because he was bleeding off all the money. The man didn’t leave enough to run the company. That’s when the board of directors brought in an investigator. Unfortunately by then it was too late to save the business.”
“You were heavily involved in running the office, weren’t you Rita?”
“I was running the office day to day. The money was pouring out of the accounts, but I couldn’t do anything about it.”
“I can understand hating that feeling that you don’t have any control over what’s happening.” Twila couldn’t tell her about it, but she’d felt that same helplessness for years. “Tyne is a good boss and you’ll never have that problem here.”
“I’m glad because I couldn’t handle going through that twice.” They chatted for a while then Ray made it back.
“Hey, all! I have two successful orders taken care of. You have anything else for me to do?” Ray asked.
“I would have you do another job, but Rita would have to wait on you.” Twila observed.
“Did Rita tell you she has training in setting up security systems too? That’s where she started out while she was in college.”
“No, she didn’t mention it but I’m sure it’s in her application. I haven’t looked at it yet.”
“I could take her with me and we’d be done much quicker.” Ray offered.
“If you’re sure. It would be a big help to get Mason’s done. They’re an outfitter a two hour drive north. You may have to get a motel and finish in the morning.”
“We’ll do it.”
“Keep your expenses and mileage to turn in for reimbursement but take the company card for the hotel. We get a discount at all of them.” Twila explained as she handed him the card.
“Thank you. You won’t regret it.” Ray said. She was sure they wouldn’t because they were falling behind on their assignments and somehow they had to catch up.
Twila watched as their two new helpers got into an old four wheel drive Hatchback. At least their vehicle was practical. She would admit she liked the couple and she hoped they would work out. It would be three or four days before the next new employee would arrive. She went and checked on the super tracker and was amazed to find an email.
These guys you have me checking out are some scary dudes. I have a list of names and organizations they’re involved with and locations attached. If you’re considering doing business with them, don’t. They have some kind of secret society going on. Keep as much distance between you and them as you can.
I also did the background checks you ask for and all but one check out. The #2 guy, his history only goes back five years and then it disappears. This is common when you buy an identity from a substandard seller. Don’t hire him. He’ll make you regret it. All the background checks are in the second attachment.
Have a nice day and take my advice, you seem like a nice lady.
Twila liked her super tracker too. She would like to give her more information about what was going on but Tyne wanted to keep things quiet. If her information all checked out, they would use her regularly. Her background check on the guy Twila had felt nervous about seemed to support not hiring him. Since the others checked out, she would go forward with hiring a few more. Those already experienced would have priority.
Since she was alone in the office and it was closed, she had time to do things she needed to do. She made two calls and did their interviews on the phone. Both were hired and one would be there in a few days the other two weeks. Well, eventually they would have a crew. Even if she had to do all the hiring. The funny thing was, once she started doing it, it didn’t seem so overwhelming. Twila knew she was growing as a person and finding her confidence. It was sad that it took being harassed and hounded to push her into doing things, but it was what it was.
Where was Trail right now? Was he alright or was he in trouble? There was no way to know and nothing she could do. She started closing everything down and transferred the calls to her phone. Locking up the office, she made her way upstairs and ate a sad little dinner from a can. As soon as she had made it upstairs, her strength had abandoned her and she just wanted to hide in her bed.
Twila decided no news was good news. She showered, dried off, and put on a night gown. If she had learned nothing else it was that it paid to be dressed all the time. Who knew who might show up? She burrowed under the covers and after a shor
t restless period, she fell into a deep sleep.
Something woke her in the middle of the night and she wasn’t sure what. She was tired of being fucked with and she rolled out of bed and got her gun. No one better mess with her now or she’d blow their damn head off. Listening quietly, she heard heavy footfalls on the steps. Whoever it was, they were big. They paused at her door as if they were listening in case anyone was awake.
She had no intention of pointing the gun until she knew it was an enemy coming after her. It still felt good to have it in her hand. The knob shook, the door was locked. This guy was a real genius. Metal jingled like keys. Something slid in the lock and the knob turned. Holy shit! Someone else had her key. The door pushed open slowly and she turned on the light blinding the male for a moment.
“Twila! What are you doing up?” Trail asked. He looked shocked that she was awake and holding a gun.
“You weren’t here so when I heard a sound, I planned to protect myself if needed.”
“Give me that gun!” He demanded as he took it from her hand. She didn’t care since it wasn’t necessary now.
Twila turned and went back to bed ready to sleep. She heard Trail turn on the shower and she slipped back to sleep. It was later, how much later she didn’t know, when she felt him climb into bed. There was no way she could keep sleeping with his hands everywhere, not that she could complain about anything that felt so damn good.
“I want you.” Trail whispered in her ear and his heated breath on her ear made a shiver run over her.
Sleep was no longer a possibility, at least not until afterwards. Trail lifted her on top of him and she rubbed her body against his. His cock hardened and it felt marvelous. Twila sat up and pulled her nightgown over her head tossing it on the floor. Now they were both naked and he was hard as steel. Raising her body up, she grabbed his shaft and positioned it at her entrance.
It was good that she was slick from her need for him. Twila slid down his shaft gasping with pleasure as he filled her completely. “Oh, goddess!” She yelled as she began to move up and down his hard length.
