Yeah, it is definitely time to become more intimate with our woman. She’s more than ready for the next step.
Just as that thought crossed his mind, one of the house alarms blared out a high-pitched screech, making his eardrums reverberate.
Then the shit hit the fan!
Rapid gunfire hit the house from what seemed every side. Cal took Tabby to the floor in front of the couch and covered her with his body. He heard a few feminine screams, and then the other women who had still been in the kitchen went quiet. He looked up to see Law and Fletch already belly-crawling across the floor to the sides of the living room window with automatic rifles in hand. He wanted to help his brothers and make sure they were covered, but keeping Tabby from getting hurt was more prudent in that moment. Shots were returned from the dining room and kitchen and also from each end of the house.
The volley was so fast and loud it sounded almost as bad as one of the missions he’d been to in the Middle East. Glass exploded out as bullets went through windows, and bits of plaster and wood furniture broke apart with each hit. It was like a fucking war zone.
The barrage died down once more, and the sounds of Tabby panting and whimpering in fear filled the silence. He moved up off her slightly so he could see her face, and when he saw the terror there, it made his chest ache.
“It’s okay, kitten. You’re safe.” Cal brushed the hair back from her face. “No one will hurt you if we can help it.”
She was shaking, and when he looked at her pupils he noted how dilated they were. Dalton came running into the living room from the kitchen and looked around at everyone before meeting Cal’s gaze.
“Is she okay?”
Cal carefully rolled off of Tabby and knelt at her side. He examined every inch of her body and ran his hands all over her. “Are you hurt anywhere, Tabby?”
Tabby shook her head no, but he could see her body shaking and knew she was in shock.
He met Dalton’s eyes again. “She’s a little shocked, but no injuries.”
“Thank God,” Dalton sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
“Is everyone else all right? The other women?”
“They’re fine. Thorpe’s got a bullet graze to his left arm, but other than that there are no other injuries. We’re going to have to try and relocate, but I can’t see us doing that anytime soon. There is no fucking way we are going to make our women targets.”
“How many were there and how many did we take down?” Cal asked.
“There were a least twenty,” Dalton sighed. “I reckon we only took down about half. Some of those fuckers were shooting blind.”
“What do you mean?”
“They kept their heads down behind cover and just pointed and shot without even looking where they were shooting.”
“Fuck! Are the ranch hands okay?”
“I don’t know. Whit and Hay were going to try to get out to them to find out, but with so many of those assholes out there, they are going to have to keep themselves hidden. Hopefully the hands were smart enough to stay in their bunkhouse and out of sight.”
Cal rose to his feet and pulled one of the throws from the back of the sofa. He took a few steps away from Tabby and shook it out to make sure there was no debris on it then he walked back to her. He and Dalton extended their hands, and when she took them in her cold hands, they helped her to her feet. Cal wrapped the blanket around her and pulled her into his body.
Whit and Hay entered the room, and after doing a sweep with their eyes to make sure none of them had been hit, they zeroed in on Tabby. “Is she okay?” Whit asked.
“Yeah,” Cal replied. “Just a little shaken.”
“Okay, keep watch, guys.” Whit looked toward Fletch and Law. “We haven’t seen the last of those fuckers. I’m going to contact Tony and see if he has anything. I’m also thinking we may need some backup.”
“You going to ask him to contact the Dragons?” Cal asked.
“No,” Whit shook his head. “They’ve served their time, done their duty. They have wives and kids to think about. I’ll get him to send in a team of Marines.”
Cal nodded and then swept Tabby up into his arms. “What the hell are we going to do about getting the women out? Maybe we can get them to one of our houses?”
“No,” Hay said. “They hit those, too.”
“Fucking hell. We’re sitting ducks here! Why can’t we go out and take them down one by one? I know Tony wanted us to wait, but hell.”
Ty poked his head in from the hall. He and his brothers had run down to the master bedroom and two other bedrooms and returned fire from that direction. “They’ve retreated. At least for now.”
“I’m going to take Tabby back to our room. Call me if they come back,” Cal said, and then he carried her down the hall, through the guest bedroom, and into the adjoining bathroom.
He eased her down onto her feet and then held her hips when she swayed a little. “Are you okay, kitten?”
“Yes,” she replied and then shuddered.
“We’ll take care of you, Tabby. Don’t be scared.” Cal removed the blanket from around her shoulders then reached into the shower to turn it on. Luckily there were no bullet holes in the walls, and he was glad she wouldn’t have a stark reminder of what just went down by seeing them.
Cal leaned her against him and then began to remove her clothes. Her wavering voice and stuttering speech only made him more determined to take those bastards out and keep her safe when they got the go-ahead from Tony.
“What, Tabby?”
“W–Will you m–make l–love t–to me?”
Cal’s semi-hard cock went to full mast in the blink of an eye, and even though he wanted to make love to her with all his heart, he wanted it to be for the right reasons. Tabby had just had a huge scare, and he didn’t want to take advantage of her.
He stepped back from her and began to undress. “I want that more than you know, Tabby cat, but I don’t think now is the right time.”
She inhaled raggedly and looked him over as he removed the last of his clothes. Her eyes snagged on his hard cock, and her cheeks turned a becoming pink hue. Cal took her hands in his and guided her into the shower. She closed her eyes for a moment and tipped her head back as the hot water ran over her.
Tabby opened her eyes and met his gaze once more. He tensed when her hand landed on his chest and she began to caress him. When she glided that palm down over his abs and took his erection in hand, he had to close his eyes and grit his teeth so he wouldn’t pounce on her.
“Please, Cal? I want you so much I ache.”
“Tabby…” His breath caught in his throat when she began to pump her hand up and down his cock, and all he wanted to do was pick her up and sink into her balls-deep.
“I’ve been patient with you and your brothers. From the first time we met in Frenda, I felt this connection to the three of you. I need you, Cal.”
“Are you sure, kitten? Are you sure this is what you really want?” When Tabby opened her mouth to reply, he placed his finger over her lips and was pleased when she closed her mouth again. “I know we told you that we wanted a relationship with you, but if we take this next step we aren’t ever going to let you go again.
“My brothers and I care for you very much, Tabby, and we aren’t going to let you walk away from us.”
“I don’t want to walk away, Cal. I want to stay with you, Law, and Fletch.”
Cal cupped her face, stared into her beautiful blue eyes, and saw the sincerity there. He and his brothers had been holding back with her, wanting to give her time to get used to them and hopefully end up caring for them. But now that Tabby had said she’d felt the connection from the first, he couldn’t hold back anymore.
He leaned down and kissed her. Cal wrapped an arm around her waist and brought the other one to her buttocks. She sighed and moaned into his mouth, and it was the sweetest sound he’d ever heard. He kissed her with wild abandonment, and when he caressed up her side and then cupped
her breast, she groaned and arched, pushing her breast into his hand. She tasted so damn sweet. He couldn’t get enough. He slanted his mouth over hers and thrust his tongue in again and again. The kiss was hot, wet, and wild, and every time he pushed his tongue into her mouth, she pumped her hand along the length of his cock. If he didn’t stop her soon he was going to come, and that would never do. There was no way in hell he was coming before his woman, but when he did, he wanted to be inside her.
Cal broke the kiss and then lifted her into his arms. She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arm around his neck and began kissing, licking, and nibbling on his neck. Tabby had him so turned-on his legs felt weak and he was shaking. He took a step and pressed her back against the tile wall then pushed his hard cock against her pussy.
She moaned and wiggled, making his cock jerk and pulse and ache. He didn’t know how much longer he could hold off, but he needed to make sure she was ready for him first. Cal kept his hand under her ass, supporting her weight, but pulled his chest away from hers then caressed the outside of her breast. When he enveloped her soft globe, she mewled, and then she sobbed with pleasure as he took her nipple between his finger and thumb.
Tabby’s legs squeezed him tighter, and he moved his hand further down her ass and between her pussy lips. He growled with approval and hunger when he felt how soaking wet she was, and then he shifted her in his arms and pressed her harder to the tile wall with his body, being careful not to hurt her. He pushed a finger up into her tight, wet hole and moaned when her muscles clamped down and rippled around him.
“Please?” Tabby begged.
“Please what, kitten?” he panted.
“I want you inside me now.” Tabby punctuated that statement with a wiggle and a lift of her hips until his cock was nestled between her legs and so close to where he hungered to be.
“Are you on the pill, Tabby cat?” Cal leaned down, sucked a nipple into his mouth, and couldn’t help but smile around her breast when she cried out and arched up, trying to get his erection inside her.
“Yes,” she moaned in reply.
“I’m clean, kitten. In fact, so are Law and Fletcher. I don’t want anything between us. Are you okay with that?”
“God yes. Now! Do it now!” Tabby wiggled again, and Cal couldn’t hold back any longer. He shifted his hips, aligning the head of his cock with her vagina, and slowly began to push up into her.
“Fucking hell, kitten. You’re so hot, wet, and tight.” Cal ground his teeth together as he slowly rocked his hips and gained depth with each forward press.
The sensation of her tight muscles and heat enveloping him had him on edge already.
* * * *
Tabby was so hot and turned on she was shaking and felt desperate to have him inside her. After the harrowing gunfire and fear, she needed the reaffirmation she was alive by Cal’s intimate touch. The only thing that would make this better was if Law and Fletch were here, too. But she concentrated on how it felt as Cal’s cock began to press inside her slick pussy.
He took his time with her, stroking into her cunt with slow thrusts of his hips, gaining a bit more depth with each move, but she didn’t want him to go slow. She wanted him filling her to the hilt, and then she wanted him to fuck her hard and fast.
Tabby tightened her grip with her legs, shifted her hands to the top of his shoulders, and levered herself up. He changed his clasp on her and brought both hands to her hips. She wasn’t sure if it was to hold her still or pull her closer, but she was determined to get what she wanted. Just as he rocked his hips forward again, she pushed down and he slid into her all the way.
She gasped as pleasure rippled along the walls of her pussy, his penis sliding into her causing an erotic friction inside, which elicited more cream to leak out of her cunt.
“Shit, kitten. Slow down, honey. I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You won’t,” Tabby gasped. “I need more. Please just fuck me.”
Cal growled and then he did just as she asked. He pumped his hips faster and harder, gliding his erection in and out of her pussy. The heat and ache grew hotter and brighter, and she moaned as the pressure inside her began to climb up the long slope toward the peak.
Her internal muscles rippled and Cal moaned with pleasure, so she squeezed her muscles deliberately and was pleased when he moaned again then cursed. He started licking and nibbling on her neck and shoulder as he moved one of his hands from her hips around to her bottom. His fingers separated her ass cheeks, and then he began to rub over her little pucker.
Tabby whimpered at such a naughty, erotic action, but she loved the carnal decadence and was amazed that it felt so good. With each press of his fingers on her rosette, the muscles in her ass relaxed, and then she felt pressure and a slight burning as he pushed the tip of his finger into her bottom.
“Oh. Oh,” Tabby gasped.
“Do you like that, kitten? Do you like me playing with and having my finger in your ass?”
“Yes. Yes.”
Tabby knew she was repeating herself, but she was on sensation overload and couldn’t think straight. Her heart was racing, her breathing was fast and choppy, and she was one big aching mass of need. With each stoke of his cock into her cunt he pushed his finger into her ass until she felt his hand against her skin. She was so close to the peak, and even though she reached for it, it remained elusive. She wiggled her hips and pressed her pussy against him, sobbing with pleasure when his pubic hair and pubis ground down onto her clit. But still she couldn’t go over.
She was right on the precipice. The muscles in her legs and pussy were so tight it was a wonder they didn’t snap.
“Oh God, Cal. Please?”
Cal withdrew his finger from her bottom then swiped a finger around his cock and her pussy hole before moving back up to her anus. She cried out when he began to press two fingers into her back entrance, and when the burn intensified, she used her muscles to push out.
“Fuck yeah, kitten. That’s it,” Cal gasped as his fingers sank into her rectum all the way.
Her legs were shaking so much she had no idea how they were still wrapped around his waist. And then he fucked her harder and faster and deeper. His cock was bumping against her cervix, and that little bite of pain, as well as the two fingers thrusting in and out of her anus, sent her hurtling over the edge.
Tabby screamed as euphoria swept over her. Her cunt muscles clamped down and released. They squeezed and rippled then clenched and let go. Cream dripped out of her pussy and her whole body shook, shivered and quavered. Cal didn’t stop stroking in and out of her cunt, grunting each time he thrust forward, and then he was groaning loud and long as he stroked into her two more times before freezing deep inside her. His cock jerked, eliciting more waves of bliss to sweep over her, and then she felt the heat of his cum as he ejaculated deep inside her against the entrance to her womb.
The rapture was so much more than when he and his brothers had loved her with their hands and mouths, and now that she’d had a taste of him, of them, she wanted it all. Cal held her close, kissed her shoulder and neck, and worked his way up to her jaw and across to her face. He sipped at her lips, and she felt tears of emotion burn the back of her eyes. They both groaned when his softening cock slipped from her body, and he held her steady as he lowered her feet back down to the base of the shower. They stared deeply into each other’s eyes and washed each other. Neither of them spoke a word. There was no need. Their gazes spoke eloquently enough for them. There was so much emotion in his eyes, but she wasn’t quite sure she was interpreting what she was seeing correctly.
After they were done cleaning up, Cal turned off the shower, stepped out, and held up a towel for her. She went to take it from him, but he shook his head and began to dry her off. He lifted her into his arms, carried her to the bedroom, and placed her in the middle of the mattress before kissing her on the forehead and covering her with the quilt.
“Rest, kitten. I’ll send Fletch and Law in to you,” Cal w
hispered and then raised his eyebrow questioningly.
“Okay,” Tabby replied. Even though she’d just had the most powerful orgasm ever, her just-sated libido tingled to life at the thought of being with Cal’s brothers. It all felt so right, and she needed them, too. Cal headed toward the door and opened it but gave her that sweet half crooked smile which had her heart filled with hope, and then he exited, closing the door behind him.
Tabby wanted it all with the Garton brothers. She wanted hearth and home, love and affection, and maybe one day, babies, too.
But even though Cal had told her if she took this step with him that she would be theirs, none of them had said anything about love. She sank into the pillow and inhaled the lingering scent of her men. The L word had been on the tip of her tongue while she and Cal had made love, but she’d held it back. She cared for Cal and his brothers very much but wasn’t sure that what she felt for them was the real deal. Plus, she hadn’t wanted to make a fool of herself by saying those words and not having them said back to her.
Hopefully when this mission of theirs was over and they were all safe once more, she would know for sure exactly what she was feeling. And how they felt about her, too.
Chapter Eight
Law looked up from his post beside the living room window and glanced over at Cal as he entered the room. He began to worry when he didn’t see Tabby following him, but when he saw how relaxed his older brother was, his concern dissipated. He looked at Fletch, who was guarding the other window, and saw that he, too, was looking at Cal.
“Is Tabby okay?” Fletch asked.
Law watched as a half smile spread into a full one over Cal’s face and knew the lucky bastard had just made love to Tabitha. He didn’t feel jealous of his older brother because there was no need. Excitement permeated his body, and his cock twitched and began to fill with blood. He did, however, want to leave his post and spend some time with their woman, getting to know her more and making love with her.
