Monroe, Melody S. - Destiny's Desire [Pleasure, Montana 3] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

by Melody Snow Monroe

  “Works for me, but how about I make them while you get dressed. Make sure to bundle up. It can get real cold on the top of the mountain.”

  Didn’t she know it. She layered on as many fleeces as she could. Despite it being winter, if she stood in the sunshine, and if the wind didn’t blow, she’d get hot. Sometimes dressing appropriately was the hardest part about living in Montana. When she thought she wore the right combination, they headed out.

  He held open the truck door for her. “You ever use a camera other than a point-and-shoot?”

  She climbed in. “In high school, I took a photo class, but I’m more the type to set the thing on auto and forget about the rest.”

  He smiled. “I guess you’ll be getting a little lesson from me about reading your light meter then.”

  If that meant he’d hover over her, she’d enjoy that. She leaned back and took in the view. The day was perfect. Not only did the clean snow sparkle for miles, the skies were clear and the wind still. However, she knew too well how storms could sneak up on you.

  Kurt kept to the back roads on his way to the mountains as he had chains on his tires. She remembered how slippery the mountain roads could be without them. About forty-five minutes later, they pulled off the road into what was labeled a parking lot.

  “It’s amazing!” She’d never been to this part of the mountain.

  “It’s a little spot I found a few years ago.” He opened his door. “Let me get the camera for you and go over the basics.”

  The blast of cold air chilled her face. A moment later, he returned with two large bags. He extracted a camera for her. “This slide turns on the camera, and when you press down the shutter halfway, the camera will focus for you.” He slid the dial to automatic and handed it to her. “Try the automatic settings first, then I can show you how to do manual. If you want to zoom in or out, just pull out the lens. Ready?”

  This was going to be so much fun. “Yes.”

  “I’m glad you wore bright colors. You’ll really stand out against the background.”

  She hadn’t thought he was going to take pictures of her, but she might have fun posing.

  After taking a few shots of the magnificent view from atop the mountain, he grabbed her hand. “There’s a really cool alcove down this trail.”

  “Let’s go for it.”

  The hike was beautiful. Trees, laden with snow, hung low over the path, holding hands as if they were in prayer. The quiet serenity made their trek something special.

  “Why don’t you go to the end then turn back toward me so I can take your picture?” he said.

  She headed away from him and then turned back around. He snapped away while she did all sorts of funny poses. He laughed. She laughed. Together they had such fun.

  He caught up with her, brought her face to his, and kissed her. His nose was cold against her cheek. “Come on. I want to show you something else.”

  They went a little farther until they came to a magical clearing. A small frozen pond sat in the middle of a copse surrounded by evergreens. Her breath caught at the pure innocence of the area.

  “I wish we had ice skates. That would have been so much fun.” Growing up, her daddy took her skating all the time.

  He lowered his chin and looked up at her. “Would you believe I never really learned how to ice skate?”

  “No way.”

  “I spent my time skiing.” He took her hand and led her to the middle of the pond. “Lie down. We’ll shoot the sky.”

  As a kid she would lie in the grass and study the cloud formations, but that was during the summer. She wasn’t so sure about doing this on ice, but she wanted to experience everything she could with this wonderful man. After a few seconds, her body began to lose heat fast. “Even through my pants, the ice is cold.”

  He took off his backpack. “I have just the thing.” He pulled out a solar blanket. “This should help somewhat.” He spread the silvery cloth on the ground, and she scooted onto it.

  “Much better.”

  He lay down next to her and they snapped away, taking pictures of the sky. Before long, he was on his knees taking pictures of her.

  “You are so beautiful.”

  Heat raced up her face. Kurt always said what was on his mind. It was one of the many things she liked about him.

  “Now, it’s my turn.” She got to her feet and started shooting. When the ice settled under her feet, she stilled. “Maybe we should take this someplace else.”

  “It’s safe. Come back down here and let me warm you up.”

  “Now you’re talking.”

  She set the camera next to her and cuddled in his arms. Even though she had layers of clothes on, stretching next to him ignited her lust meter. She knew if they’d been inside, they’d be naked in a minute. His kisses were soft at first, but when he rolled her on top of him, the speed and pressure of the kisses increased.

  He wrapped his hands around her head. “I wanted to do this all day yesterday.” With that, he kissed her hard.

  She hadn’t realized he’d threaded his hands under her jacket until his half-frozen fingers touched her skin. She jerked. “Those are some cold hands.”

  “I’m worth it.”

  Yes, he was. He rolled her onto her back, supported himself with his elbows, and stared down at her. “I could really get used to this.”

  She wasn’t sure what he meant, but the kiss that followed told her both of them were enjoying themselves. One minute they were in the middle of the kiss and the next he’d stopped.

  “Shh.” He nodded behind her.

  As soon as he slid off, she looked to her left. A beautiful mother deer with her baby was only fifty feet away. Kurt lifted his camera and took a photo. She followed his lead. The world seemed to stop. Except for the wind in the trees, nothing moved. The mother licked the newborn. When Kurt’s camera went off in rapid succession, the mother turned motionless. Seconds passed. Then, nudging her child, the two took off.

  Destiny sat up. “That was amazing.”

  “Indeed.” Kurt stood. “Come on. It’s snowing.”

  She hadn’t even noticed. “It’s so quiet.”

  He helped her up. “I know of a sheltered place where we can have lunch.”

  The path got a little steep, but Kurt made sure she had a hand up when needed. With the extra layer of snow on the ground, she had to take it extra slow. As they headed farther into the forest, the snow got deeper. “How much longer?”

  He tapped her nose. “You sound like Charley.” He laughed. “Actually, it’s on the other side of that large rock.”

  Once they rounded the bend, there was a big overhang. “It’s a cave!”

  “Kind of. Come on.” Instead of using the solar blanket, he pulled out a small woolen one. “Have a seat and let me serve you.”

  The shelter cut the wind. While the cave was only five feet deep, it made their picnic area nice and cozy. “I’m surprised animals aren’t hunched in here.”

  “Don’t say that too loud.”

  She knew there were bear, cougars, and other mountain lions, but she’d only seen one or two wild animals up close when she was growing up. He spread out the sandwiches, and she picked one.

  He leaned back on his elbows. “I think one thing I like the best about the mountain is the eating.”

  Sometimes he made no sense. “How’s that?”

  “Haven’t you noticed how good everything tastes when you’re outdoors?”

  She bit into her ordinary bologna and cheese. “Hmm. It does taste better.”

  “Told ya.” He smiled.

  Kurt amazed her at his wonderful outlook on life. They mostly ate in silence and watched the light snow fall. “Have you ever gotten lost in the woods?” With the snow covering the trails, she wasn’t sure how he knew where to go.

  He tapped his head. “Internal compass.”

  “Let’s hope.”

  Kurt had brought some cookies and fruit for dessert. There was something magical about si
tting in this pristine environment, but every once in a while, her Florida-thinned blood made her shiver.

  He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “We should go. Looks like the weather could turn.”

  She didn’t like that prognosis. Once they exited their cozy shelter, the freezing air blasted her. She hadn’t realized the temperature had shifted. Black clouds had settled to the west. If they hurried, they probably would get back to the truck in time before the really bad weather descended.

  With the added layer of snow, footing became more treacherous, but Kurt held her hand the whole way. What had started out as a fun adventure had now turned kind of scary. She kept her head down, watching where she stepped, but Kurt seemed sure of himself. They had to climb a steep incline, which caused her heart to pound something fierce, but that was followed by a big decline. She slipped a few times, but Kurt caught her before she fell.

  Finally, what had been an hour trek into the forest turned into two hours getting back. When they emerged from the woods, relief flooded her.

  Kurt stored his backpack in the back of the truck. “Would you mind one more shot by the hill? With the way the snow’s coming down, it’ll be beautiful.”

  He looked so excited she couldn’t say no. The snow had gotten so deep since they’d arrived that her footprints had disappeared. Making sure not to get too close to the edge, she turned around and raised her arms in triumph.

  After a series of photos, he waved her back. “Ready to get out of here?”

  “You bet.” She turned around. On her way back, she looked up. “I’m not liking those black clouds.”

  “Me neither.” He helped her into the cab. Once he cranked up the engine, he backed out and headed down the mountain.

  Kurt was a careful driver, but even he had his limits. The snow picked up and visibility dropped. He rounded a corner and pressed down on the brakes. The truck did a little slide to the edge.

  “Crap. Road’s blocked.”

  Several large boulders must have tumbled off the cliff and landed in the road. They were trapped.

  Chapter Five

  Bad scenarios raced through her mind. The thought of dying on this mountain nearly sent her over the edge, but at least she’d have wonderful Kurt to keep her company during her last few cold hours.

  He pulled out his cell. “I’ll call Chester. He’s got a snowplow.”

  Her shoulders sagged. Maybe they would get out of there after all.

  He slapped the phone closed. “No signal.”

  Adrenaline spiked her pulse. “Let me try mine.” She didn’t know if they had the same service provider, but just in case, she yanked out her phone and turned it on. “Damn. I don’t have a signal either.”

  Kurt reached under the steering wheel and pressed a latch to lift it up a notch. A moment later he scooted next to her. “Come here.”

  “We’re stranded and you want to cuddle?”

  He turned off the engine and smiled. “You got a better idea?” He nuzzled her neck. “You should know that anytime I have the chance to hold you in my arms, I’m going to take it.”

  How could he be so upbeat? “You always do say the sweetest things.” She pulled back a bit. “Wait. Aren’t you worried?”

  “Worrying is only worthwhile when you can do something about it. I figure worst case, we spend the night in the cab. I wish I had a backseat, because then we could be doing something other than sleeping.”

  When he winked, she laughed. “Okay, you’re right. No worrying allowed.” She ran a hand down his chest. “Do you think someone will come looking for us?”

  He took off her hat and ran his fingers through her hair. “Oh, I imagine at some point.” He pulled her close and kissed her.

  She loved how he managed to take her mind off the dire situation. His soft lips traced a line along her jaw and back down her throat. “It’s actually getting warm in here.”

  “I’m betting it’s going to get a lot warmer.”

  * * * *

  If Kurt had his way, he’d strip Destiny naked and do her in the car. He’d always wanted her, but he’d never seen her so carefree as she’d been today. Her adventuresome spirit fit so well with his lifestyle. It was a real shame he might have to move. Three hours was a good distance, but he’d be willing to come home on weekends to service this vixen. The way she trusted him to lead them into and out of the forest was a big turn-on. He also loved how she could wrap herself around nature and love the sky, the pond, and the cave. Yup, this one was a definite keeper.

  He didn’t fool himself into believing that Drake wasn’t part of the equation. In fact, it would require a very special woman to take on the Devereaux brothers. The image of Drake pounding her pussy and him in her sweet ass made his balls turn rock hard.

  He nuzzled her neck. “Your hair smells good.” As did the rest of her skin. “You want to take off that jacket? If it gets too cold, I can turn on the engine and blast the heater. I’ve got nearly a full tank.”

  “Okay.”

  They both removed their jackets, but she had on so many more layers, he’d never get her naked. However, the hand was a magic tool. He slipped fingers under her shirt. When she didn’t stop him, he cupped her breast.

  He hadn’t expected the round fullness to fill his palm so nicely. When she pressed against his hand, he had to have more. Their lips met. He swung his legs to her side and lifted her onto his lap. When her head banged against the ceiling, he immediately ran his hand over her crown.

  “You okay?” Christ. In his haste, he hadn’t paid attention.

  “I think you should kiss it to make it better.” She lowered her head, and he managed to soothe the ache not only on the top, but in other places as well. When she cupped his face and kissed him hard, she’d clearly forgiven him for his carelessness.

  His cock rose from the affection, and he adjusted her on his lap. What he wouldn’t give to slip a hand down her pants and play with her pussy.

  Why not? She seems ready and willing.

  She ran her tongue along the seam of his lips, and he opened up. Her tongue slipped in, and she tasted of the apples they’d had for lunch. The mating dance caused his cock to expand to near bursting. While the kissing was wonderful, it didn’t come close to satisfying him. He had to have more.

  “I want you.”

  Her eyelids drooped as if she was in the same sexual haze. “We can’t.”

  He refused to give in so easily. “Why not?”

  She sat up as much as she could. “We’re in a two-seater truck.”

  “I was thinking we could start by just touching each other. I know it’s too cold to be naked.” Though if she’d be willing, he might have considered losing his pants. She wiggled her butt as if she knew what kind of touching would interest him.

  “I guess as long as we’re going to be stranded here all night, a little touching might be okay.” Her eyelashes fluttered. “But it needs to be for warming-up purposes only.”

  Before he could answer, she dragged a hand under his jacket. His abs clenched from the way her fingers worked their way up his chest.

  A strong wind buffeted the truck, shaking it. She held on to him tight.

  He stroked her arm. “Don’t worry. We’re safe. I have extra supplies in the back if we have to be here a while.” One supply item was a shovel. He might have been able to clear a path big enough to drive the truck through the obstruction, but motoring down the mountain would have been too dangerous in the driving wind. Had he been alone, he might have chanced it. With Destiny, he didn’t dare try.

  She continued her assault on his lips and somehow his fingers found the zipper on her snow pants and pulled it down. “I thought you might be more comfortable without these on.”

  “I think you might be right.” Her breaths came out in tiny bursts.

  His balls tightened. She slipped off his lap and pulled the pants down over her boots. She folded them neatly and placed them on the seat next to her.

  “How many clothes a
re you wearing?” He had on one pair of thermals under fleece-lined pants.

  “I’ve just come from living in Florida.” She held up her fingers and counted. “Four.”

  He’d never get to her pussy, but then again, they had all night. He pulled her onto his lap again, enjoying how she felt in his arms.

  The more the wind blew, the closer Destiny clung to him. Because there was little room to move, he cupped her pussy and squeezed. He closed his eyes for a second, trying to imagine his cock inside her sweet center.

  She giggled. “Hold that thought.”

  What thought? The thought that he couldn’t wait to fuck her?

  She slid off his lap to the seat next to him and reached for his waistband. As her fingers touched his cock, he clasped her wrist.

  “This isn’t a good idea.”

  Her eyes widened. “Why?”

  Why? Think. “Because I’m already on the verge of coming. If you touch me, I might explode. I don’t need my jism all over us.” He tried to feign being indignant.

  She tapped her chin as if contemplating something evil. “How about if I lick you, and you come in my mouth.”

  Dear God. She was trying to kill him. “I swear I would like nothing more, but if your mouth ever touched me, I’d have to fuck your sweet pussy right then.” Oh, shit. He shouldn’t have been so graphic with someone so innocent.

  She sat up. Her gaze shot downward as if she needed a moment to process what he said. “Okay.”

  * * * *

  Drake checked his watch again. It was close to nine and still no Kurt. He’d called both his brother’s cell as well as Destiny’s, but they both had gone to voice mail. Kurt mentioned they were going to take pictures atop Hellman’s Ridge. When it turned dark, Drake figured they’d returned to her place. His imagination got the best of him about what those two could be doing, so he shuttled Charley off to the neighbors and drove over to Destiny’s house. He prayed they weren’t answering the phone because they were too busy in bed. His cock hardened thinking about joining them.
