Her pretty brown eyes grew wide, horror filling them just the way I thought would happen. “No, Nix!” She shook her head furiously.
“Yes,” I nodded. “Aren’t you excited, baby? You might get to see Big Foot?”
“No, I’m terrified, not excited!” she screeched at me.
“But you watch that stuff all the time. You’ve even told me that you’d love to go on an expedition to find one of those things. And I’m taking you on one. Frankly, I thought you’d be over the moon.” And I had thought that too. I mean this woman watched those shows at least twice a week. And now she was going pale and looking frantic.
“Take me back, Nix. I don’t want to be here.” She looked like a trapped rabbit as she looked in every direction.
“If you want out of here, you’ll have to walk out. I’m going on the adventure I planned. But you’re a free person; you can do what you want to. But the truck stays with me. I might need it if there really is a Big Foot.” I stifled a laugh as I knew there was no such thing.
“Now I get why you blindfolded me and cuffed me to be absolutely positive that I didn’t take the blindfold off too or I’d be able to find my way out of this place. You’re a real funny man, Nix. But I’m serious, take me back. I’m scared.”
“You knew we were going camping, Katana. You knew it was going to be around where I grew up. You knew the stories about the creatures they say live around the area. So why are you freaking out now?” I really was having a hard time understanding her fear. It was over the top.
I pulled up to the campsite that looked picture perfect. She looked out the windshield at the tent that was all glammed up. I knew she would hate regular camping, so I told Donny to make sure our experience was a Glamping one instead of a camping one.
And he’d done better than I could’ve ever expected.
A pale green tent had been placed between two monstrous oak trees. The opening was pulled back, allowing us to see inside. A real bed that looked to be queen sized was right in the middle of the large tent. A chandelier hung over it. I had no idea they made battery powered chandeliers, but I guess Donny had found one or had one made. He was resourceful like that.
“Wow,” was all Katana could say. “Would you look at that? How romantic looking.”
The creek flowed along the left side of the tent, trickling by and looking like something out of a fairytale. I noticed that lights had been strung through the two towering trees as well.
“This is too beautiful to pass up, baby.” I pointed to the outdoor kitchen he’d brought in. The three bottles of propane told me that was what ran it. “And that thing is calling my name. I just bet that little fridge is filled with all kinds of great things.”
Katana’s fear of finding Big Foot was overcome by the charm the little camping area had. “Well, Donny did work hard on this. It would be rude not to stay after he did all this for us.”
“Yes, it would be.” I got out of the truck as she’d finally come to her senses. We met in front of the tent, and I took her hand. “And I hate to break this to you, but there aren’t any mythical creatures around here, baby. You’re perfectly safe.”
She looked around at the woods that surrounded the one place that had been cleared out. “You did bring your shotgun though, right?”
“Yeah, it’s behind the seat. I got it out of Dad’s gun safe. You don’t have a thing to worry about. I was just kidding you about that other stuff. Honestly, I thought you’d get a kick out of thinking you might actually get to see a real live Sasquatch. But I was just messing with you. And I wasn’t completely honest with you about where George saw his monster. It was about fifteen miles east of here. Not even on this ranch.” I put my arm around her and gave her a little squeeze as I kissed the side of her head. “Does that make you feel any better about staying here?”
“Not really. They have a range of at least a hundred miles.” She shrugged. “But we’re here, and there’s lots of light, and you’ve got the gun. I don’t think one of those things will want to bother us here. But promise me that if we hear anything unusual that you and I will jump into the truck and haul ass.”
I found it humorous that she thought anyone could possibly know the range of a mythical creature, but I didn’t bring that up. “I promise you that if we hear anything out of the ordinary that we can leave, baby. But you will hear odd things out here. You’ll have to trust me to tell you what’s ordinary and what’s not, okay?”
She nodded then turned to me, running her arms around my neck. “Okay. I trust you, babe. Now let’s head inside and check out that bed, it looks very inviting.”
So, we did what she wanted and went into the tent.
Chapter 2
Katana
Nix took things slow, undressing me inch by inch, kissing the exposed skin softly. My entire body was prickly once he’d finally finished the job, leaving me naked. As I laid there, exposed, I looked at the open flaps at the front of the tent. “Nix, please close the tent up. I don’t like feeling this vulnerable.”
Obliging me, he went to close the flaps so that no one could see in. “There’s not a soul out here, baby. But I’ll zip it up to make you happy.”
“Thank you.” I was still nervous about being so far out in the woods. And the fact that the creek we were camped beside was a hotbed for creatures I truly believed in had me on edge too.
My husband came back toward me, stripping off his clothes then joining me in the comfy bed. He laid down beside me, I was on my back, gazing up at him. His deep green eyes danced as he looked down at me, his hand stroking my hair, his lips parted just a bit.
Not a day passed by that I didn’t think about how lucky I was to be with such a handsome man. Nixon Slaughter was beautiful inside and out.
“You’re looking particularly gorgeous this evening, Katana.” He ran his fingertips over my cheek, down to my chin then along the length of my neck.
I cupped his face in my hands then ran them through his dark hair. “You’re looking pretty gorgeous yourself, Nix.” I pulled him to me, our lips barely touching. And just as soon as I felt that spark zipping through me, a thought came into my brain. “Nix, we can’t have sex!” I pushed his shoulders to get him away from me.
He didn’t budge though. “And just why not? That was our main plan coming out here you know.”
“I know that, but that was before I knew where you were taking me. Now that I know there could be a, for lack of a better word, monster in these woods then sex is off the table. It has to be.” I found myself looking at the four cloth walls that surrounded us and finding no faith in them protecting us from the long sharp claws of a Big Foot.
Nix pulled back to give me a stern look. “And why is sex off the table just because you’ve got an active imagination, baby?”
“Haven’t you ever watched a horror movie, Nix? People who are having sex are always the first to go. I have kids I’d like to see again, so sex isn’t a thing we’ll be doing while we’re out here in Big Foot country.” I tried to push him away from me a bit further, so I could get my clothes back on. “I don’t know why I didn’t think about this before. It just sprang into my mind. It must be a sign.”
My husband, who was mostly supportive of me, seemed to be anything but that. “Lay back, relax and let me do things to you that will have that silly thought that sprung into your mind going elsewhere. We’re perfectly safe, baby. This Big Foot crap needs to come to a halt. It’s getting in our way now.”
“But,” I only got out that one word before his mouth was back on mine, his hands taking my wrists and pinning them over my head. His tongue dominating mine and proving that he was right. He could send that thought right out of my head, replacing it with a raw desire for him and that was it.
He’d thoroughly settled me with that hard, demanding kiss. His mouth left mine, and he moved it to go to work on my neck. That always drove me crazy for more, and he knew that well.
Biting, sucking, and licking me into a frenzy, Nix had
me soaking wet for him before he spread my legs with his knee then moved his body over mine and shoved his fat cock into me.
“Oh, baby, you’re so ready for me,” he groaned as he began making slow strokes.
My foot traveled up the back of one of his legs. He’d released my hands, so I moved them all over his muscular back. I loved the way his muscles rippled as he moved his body over mine.
Arching up to him, I wanted to feel him deeper inside of me. He kissed the side of my neck as he stopped the strokes to make deeper penetration by rocking his body back and forth against mine. His pelvic bone hit my clit with each movement as his cock pushed deep into me.
“Ah!” I moaned as our bodies connected so deeply, so intimately.
As an orgasm began to climb through my body, my nails dug into the flesh of his back. My cries got louder as the climax grew and grew then it erupted, flowing all through me as my body shook.
“Give me all you’ve got, baby,” Nix growled in my ear. “I want your cum all over my cock then I’m taking you in the ass.”
His words made the orgasm flush through me once more. My ass pulsed with anticipation of him stuffing his cock into it. I bit my lip as the orgasm began to wane.
He pulled out of me then turned me over on my stomach. I lay flat on the bed as he lay on top of me, taking one of my hands and stretching it up, clasping his hand over mine.
His cock was still hard and now covered in my juices, lubricating it. The tip of his cock pressed against my asshole, he bobbed the tip in and out a few times before pushing it all the way in.
It had been awhile since he’d taken me that way. My tissues stretched, burning just a bit, but there was no pain accompanying the sensation. Only pleasure could be felt.
He made the same kind of movement he had before, rocking up and down instead of in and out. The motion had my clit moving against the sheet, arousing me further.
His breath was warm against my neck then he began biting me at the juncture where my shoulder and neck met. I moaned with desire as my toes curled, “Nix, God I love you.”
He gave me a hard bite that had me screaming, not in pain, but in pure bliss as another orgasm crashed through me. He didn’t ease up on me one bit, keeping the motion going.
Moving one arm around my waist, he pulled me up; I was on my hands and knees as he pulled his cock out of my ass and rammed it into my soaked pussy. He grabbed my waist with both hands and pounded into me at a furious pace.
I gasped for air as my body shook from the orgasm that just wouldn’t stop. Nix kept up his steady thrusts until I felt his cock jerk inside of me, sending his heated juices into me.
All I could hear was our harsh breathing. Then he let me go, and I fell onto the bed on my stomach. Nix collapsed to the side of me in an exhausted heap.
My eyes had been closed most of the time, so when I opened them once I’d regained my breath, I was surprised to find the light had left the sky and everything was dark. “Nix, it’s gotten dark on us.”
“Yeah,” was his only reply.
I turned over and sat up. “How do I turn on this chandelier?”
“Not sure,” he said as he remained perfectly still.
“Um, aren’t you going to find out how to turn it on?” I pushed his shoulder a little to get him to get up and do something other than just lay there in the complete darkness.
“In a minute, baby. I’m kind of wiped out at the moment.” He took my hand and held it on top of his chest. “Just lie down here next to me and let’s take a little nap. Then we can get up, and I’ll make us some dinner on that pit out there. I’ll light the whole place up then. But I need a little nap first.”
I had no choice. I laid down, and he wrapped his body around mine as we spooned. I felt protected, and the truth was I could use a short nap too. But the truth also was that I was afraid of what might come up on us if there was no light to scare the wild things away. And I meant all of the wild things too. I didn’t want to share our campsite with so much as a raccoon.
My husband’s strong arms held me tight, and before I knew it, I’d drifted off as I listened to the sound of his steady breathing and the trickle of the creek that ran beside the tent. It was all too comforting, and I fell into a deep sleep.
It didn’t seem like time had passed at all when my eyes sprang open. I was alone in the bed. I sat up and looked around and found I was also alone in the tent.
As my eyes adjusted, I realized there was light coming from outside the tent. “Nix?”
“You up?” he called out then pulled the flap back and looked inside at me. “I’ve got the pit up and going, and there are steaks ready to go on it. I was waiting for you to wake up before I threw them on.”
“Oh, okay. How long have I been asleep?” I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.
“A couple of hours. I didn’t want to wake you. I slept about fifteen minutes then got up.” He tied the flaps back on the tent, leaving it open. “Get dressed and come on out here, baby. The night air is nice and cool, and the stars look awesome. There’s even a full moon coming up. It’s stunning out here.”
“It sounds pretty great. I’ll throw my clothes on and come right out.” I threw my legs over the side of the bed to get up.
Nix reached inside and did something that turned the chandelier on. “This should help you get cleaned up and dressed, baby. See you in a few minutes.”
Looking around, I found a wash basin and a couple of jugs of water next to it. A few white washcloths were folded neatly on the vanity top that had a mirror over it.
How Donny had gotten all this out to the middle of nowhere, I had no idea, but it made things very easy for us.
After cleaning myself up, I pulled on my jeans and t-shirt, slipped into my running shoes and headed out to hang out with my hubby underneath the stars for a while.
Donny even had brought down a couple of comfy chairs instead of lawn chairs for us to sit in. The outdoor kitchen made it almost feel like home.
Nix handed me a tall, dark bottle of beer. “Here ya go, baby. Just sit back and let me take care of dinner as you do a little star gazing.”
“It’s more beautiful out here at night, Nix.” I took a long drink of the beer as I was parched. “How long are we staying?”
He chuckled as he put the steaks on the fire. “So, now you want to stay?”
I nodded as I looked up at the night sky. “Yeah, I do. It’s different out here. Better than I expected.”
“Glad to hear that because we’re staying two nights.” Nix came to me, putting his hands on the armrests on either side of me then kissing me. And at that moment I felt like things would be better than just okay. Things were going to be great.
Chapter 3
Nixon
Nothing is better than a steak cooked outdoors over an open fire. My wife had never experienced life in the outdoors. She marveled at the taste of the medium rare thick cut sirloin that Donny had generously provided us. A fresh salad and a couple of baked potatoes rounded out our evening meal as we sipped on some cold suds.
The night was going great. My wife and I were laughing and joking around with each other, enjoying the night in a way we never had before. The camping trip was proving to be a big success. And now that Katana had forgotten all about her irrational fears about a monster attacking us, the night was proving to be spectacular.
“I don’t even like beer, and I’m loving this one,” she commented as she drained the last bit of beer from the longneck bottle I’d given her.
Her cheeks were rosy as she smiled at me, making my heart skip a beat. No matter how long we’d been together, I had never forgotten to thank the good lord above for bringing her and I together. Everything about the woman did something for me. From her long dark hair and pretty blue eyes to her beautiful soul, it all made my heart swell with love for her.
The two chairs my friend had put in the outdoor kitchen area were side by side. I reached out and took her hand in mine, holding it on top of the lar
ge armrests. “Beer is a staple in camping. Any good camper knows that. It’s the beverage of choice for this kind of thing.”
“Aren’t those gooey deserts called s’mores also a staple of camping?” she asked me with a smile.
“They are, and I do believe I saw the makings for them in the cabinet over there.” I got up to go see if I saw that right and that’s when a loud screech rang out in the woods. And it didn’t sound too far away either.
Katana was up and in my arms within microseconds. “What was that?” She had her legs wrapped around me too as she clung to me. Her heart beating so loud I thought the animal that made that sound might hear it.
“It’s okay, baby. It’s just some kind of a large cat. It won’t come and bother us in the light. That’s not how big cats work,” I tried to reassure her.
But it was all in vain as she whimpered, “Is it a large cat or a big cat, Nix? And is it someone’s pet or what?”
I tried not to laugh at her. She was genuinely afraid after all. “It’s not a pet. It’s something like a bobcat or a lynx, or maybe even a cougar. But you don’t have to worry, none of those things will come into the light. I promise you that.”
It made another loud screech and Katana began to shake. “Nix, I don’t like that at all. It sounds like a woman is screaming out there, not some enormous cat. Do you think it’s an insane woman? Some lunatic killer female who’s out to kill people who dare to camp in woods she considers to be hers? Or worse! What if it’s a…” she hesitated to say the next word, and it only came out in a whisper, “witch?”
I had to laugh then. I mean, come on!
“It’s not a witch nor some crazy female. It’s a cat, that’s all. Now, quit freaking out cause they can smell fear and that’s an enticement to those kinds of things.” I tried to put her down, but her legs were clamped tightly around my waist.
