Capturing Our Lady's Heart [Commando Cowboys and Renegade Texans Unite 1] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Polyromance) (18 page)

Lann’s body got hot at the thought of having her to himself until Monday night. His cock rose to attention from being this close and breathing in her sweet scent. He was ready to lick and kiss her soft body before plunging in her tight pussy.

He excused himself and went to the kitchen to drink a cold bottle of water. After readjusting his jeans, he sauntered back to sit by Bliss just as the light came on telling them to fasten their seat belts.

Bliss slipped her hand into his as the plane banked in preparation for the landing. She leaned close to Lann.

“Are you scared of flying?” he asked. She’d done the same during takeoff, but he hadn’t realized the reason.

“Just a little. I’m better holding on to you.”

“No problem, but Ethan is an outstanding pilot.”

“He may be outstanding, but is the plane?”

Lann laughed and shook his head at her, but he put his other arm around her shoulders, holding her tight.

After landing, they said good-bye to Ethan. “Has Morgan had the baby yet?” Lann asked.

“Yes, two weeks ago. We have a beautiful daughter. She looks just like her momma.”

“Congratulations. Are you sure you want to pick us up on Sunday? We can fly commercial.”

“It’s not a problem. Morgan and the baby will meet us at the airport. You can see her and our son. He’s feeling a bit insecure even with two fathers and his mother telling him he’s still as important as ever. He doesn’t let Momma and the baby out of his sight.”

“He’ll get used to her.”

“I know. We just have to help him over this initial time when our daughter, Lacey, needs a lot of attention. Justin took him to work today. He loves seeing the animals.”

They waved and got off the plane. A tall, brown-haired, older man strode across the tarmac toward them.

“Bliss, this is Carl. Carl, Bliss is going to be my fiancée, I hope.” Lann turned to Bliss. “Carl’s worked for me since I had the house. You need something, and he’ll see you get it.” Lann gave Carl a hug. “It’s good to see you.”

“You’ve been gone a long time.”

“We had a little trouble at the ranch in Wyoming, and then I left and moved to Texas as I told you I had planned to do.”

“It’s good you are here now and with such a lovely lady. I have the car parked right by the gate.”

The drive along the winding highway had Bliss holding Lann’s hand again.

“Don’t worry. He’s a better driver than me, more like Bern.”

She glanced out the window at the sharp drop close beside them. “He’d better be. This is scarier than the plane.”

Lann pulled her close and held her head down so she couldn’t see the drop-off.

Still, Bliss was relieved when they parked, and she was in the house. She stood looking out the windows at the awesome view. Lann and Carl brought in the cases. Then Carl left and Lann came to stand behind her.

“Didn’t I tell you it’d be great?” His arms wrapped around her waist and his teeth nibbled at her neck. Her body responded to his lightest touch and craved being caressed by him. She let herself lean back against his strong body.

Lann slipped one hand in her blouse, under her bra. He caressed her breast and kissed her neck and shoulder. “Your heart is beating rapidly against my palm.” He tweaked her peaked nipple. “I want to lick and taste every spot on your body.”

Her breast swelled in his hand and moisture flooded her panties. “I might like that.”

“Shall we see?” She nodded yes, and he swept her into his arms. He took long strides through the living room, down a hall, and into a huge bedroom with lots of windows facing the sunset shining across the ocean. In fact, most of the walls were windows.

He sat her gently on the side of the king-sized bed. When he started to remove her blouse, she took hold of his hand to stop him.

“Close the curtains. Others might see us.”

“Darlin’, this is the highest peak around here. There’s ocean on one side and forest on the other. Carl’s cabin is in the opposite direction from us. Who’s to see? Live daringly.”

She glanced around the room. Her blood raced at the idea of making love in the open. This was almost like being outside. She let go of his hand. He continued to unbutton her blouse and bra. Then he threw them to the side. Lann knelt before her and took one breast in his warm mouth. He massaged her back while he held her against his mouth and licked and sucked on her sensitive nipple.

Her craving for his touch grew in intensity. Heat swirled in her veins, and her heart raced. When she thought she’d explode, he reached down and undid her belt and jeans. He grabbed the edge of her jeans and pulled them and her shoes off.

Lann lifted her further onto the bed before joining her. He sat back and admired her curvaceous body.

“There’s nothing separating me from your jewel, but those flimsy, little panties you wear.” He took the edge of the band between his teeth and pulled the bikini panties off. Then he spread her legs wide and leaned forward breathing in her scent.

Her breath quickened, and she shivered with delight. As he moved up her body, Lann pretended to be a tiger ready to pounce. His nose sniffed her lower lips. “Ambrosia.” He separated the pink folds and licked her clit and down the length of her labia. “Exquisite.”

Bliss felt the heat in her face from blushing. Lann let his body lay lightly on her while he cupped her face in his hands. “Don’t be embarrassed. I love you. I’ll never deliberately hurt you in any way. I want to earn your trust.”

“I wouldn’t have come if I didn’t trust you.”

“Good, I’m glad. Relax your body, darlin’. It is all beautiful, and I enjoy tasting, licking, and loving all of you.”

Bliss took a deep breath attempting to relax her body and accept whatever Lann gave her. He went back to lying between her legs. His mouth and fingers soon had her back arching and her gasping for breath.

“You’re very responsive which is a real turn-on for me.”

“Move up and let me touch you,” Bliss said.

He slid beside her and she rolled to face him. Her hand roamed across his face, along his neck, and she rubbed his nipples, bringing a moan from him. Bliss smiled and continued to move downward. Her hand grasped his cock. She touched the balls in his sac as she took his cock in her mouth as far as possible.

“Oh, baby.”

She glanced at his lust-filled, green eyes. “Do you want me to continue?”

“Yes, please,” he gritted out between his teeth.

Her mouth wrapped back around him. She took him in all the way, and then pulled almost completely out. Her tongue licked and sucked on his cock.

Suddenly, he gripped her head and arched his back. “Stop, I want to come in you.” He reached for the condom package he’d placed on the bedside table and sheathed his dick. Then he pulled her across his body from where she sat studying him.

She straddled his hips and her hot, wet pussy glided down over his large cock. Lann’s hands on her hips showed her the rhythm he wanted, and soon sizzling pleasure infused throughout her whole body.

Bliss rose and then sank on his dick. She loved watching the emotions showing on his handsome face. Her own were in a turmoil of excitement. She had a hypersensitivity to his touch and the texture of his skin. It stimulated her to quicken her movements and demand all he had to give.

Lann pulled her down to him and sucked on her breast while he rubbed his finger across her clit.

A sense of wonder and delight rose inside her, and when his teeth raked across her peaked nipple, intense joy sent her flying high. She screamed out as her orgasm shook her whole body.

Lann rolled her on her back and thrust hard and fast keeping her pussy rippling with delight. Then he stiffened as he found his release, and his cock pulsated along her pussy walls, sending another spike of ecstasy rushing up her spine.

When he could move, Lann raised up and looked down at her. “After this I hope you never doubt my love for you.” He kissed her mouth and rolled off of her.

Bliss turned her head and admired his body. Perspiration made his skin shine. He took quick gasping breaths. A thrill ran through her when she realized she could have such an effect on this magnificent man. If she was certain he wouldn’t try to control her after marriage, she’d give her heart completely to him and Bern. She trusted Bern, but she still had a little doubt about Lann. Maybe meeting his family would help her understand him more.

Later, they showered and dressed. Lann guided her to the large kitchen. “Carl will have left us something to eat for tonight.” He opened the refrigerator. “Here it is.” Lann pulled out two plates with a large salad on each. “I hope you like chicken.”

“It looks wonderful.” She opened drawers and found the silverware. Lann put the plates on the table and opened a bottle of white wine.

Once they were seated, he raised his glass. “To the loveliest lady I know.” They clicked their glasses, took a swallow, and started eating.

“You were hungry.” Lann nodded to Bliss’s clean plate.

“Is there any dessert?” she asked.

“I do love to see you eat. I’ll bet there’s ice cream in the freezer.” He checked and pulled out a gallon of chocolate. “And”—he checked the pantry—“we have Fig Newton cookies.”

“My favorite.” She took the bag of cookies and grabbed two.

Lann filled two bowls with ice cream. Then he sat and watched her eat.

“Don’t stare. Eat your dessert.”

“I will. But you’re so much fun to watch. You enjoy your food, especially sweets.”

“I try to stay away from them, but my resistance is low.”

Lann ate his ice cream and cookies. Then they both cleaned the kitchen.

“You’re an unusual man,” Bliss said as they settled on the sofa facing the windows.

“How so?”

“I’d have never expected you to help clean the kitchen.”

“Besides a twin brother, I have a mother and two sisters. They taught my brother and I how to cook, clean, and iron.”

“You have a twin brother?”

“It is surprising there could be two of us, but yes, I do. His name is Caedmon. We call him Cad.”

“Do you look exactly alike?”

“Except for our eyes. His are a golden-brown.”

Lann pulled her close and kept his arm across her shoulders. “What would you like to do tomorrow? I thought we might go to San Francisco for the day.”

Bliss bit the edge of her lip. “This trip is for us to get to know each other, right?”

“True.”

“I’d rather we go on to the ranch in Wyoming. I want to meet your family and your friends.”

“But we just got here.”

“I know. We could leave late tomorrow. We’d have part of the evening, all of Sunday, and Monday morning. If I do marry you, we can come back here another time.”

“Most definitely we’ll come back.”

* * * *

Lann knew this was the time to tell her about his family. They’d had such a great time, but he had no idea how she’d react to what he had to say. He rubbed his hand across his chest.

Taking a deep breath, he plunged in. “Before we meet my family, I need to tell you about them. What I’m going to tell you must be kept secret. Bern knows, so you can talk with him. But no one else, not even your best friend, can know who we are.”

Bliss scooted around on the sofa to look at him. “You’re scaring me. Why so much secrecy?”

“Because if others knew, it might endanger us and keep us from doing our missions.”

“And if I don’t marry you, what will you do? I’ll know more than you want me to.”

He put his hands on the sides of her face. “Don’t look so frightened. We wouldn’t kill you, but we do have the ability to wipe memories away. We’d have to take the memories of what I’ve told you from your mind. It isn’t painful. Over the years the machine has become more sophisticated. Now we can target specific memories. Just a few years ago that wasn’t possible.”

“You have machines the government doesn’t have?”

“Yes.”

She shivered, and when Lann went to pull her into his arms she moved further away. “Who and what are you?”

“You want me to tell you?”

Lann held his breath while she studied his face and body.

“I need some time to think about what you’ve said.” Her lips pressed tightly together, and she blinked her eyes. Then she looked downward. “I’d like to go for a stroll outside, by myself.”

“I’d prefer you wait for morning, if I’m not going to be with you.”

“All right, but I want my own room for tonight.”

“No. I promise not to make love to you, but I want to hold you close. I think you need my comfort.” He held his breath hoping she’d agree. Of course if she didn’t, he’d give her the room next to his. She frowned, but nodded her head in agreement. He let out a sigh of relief.

Lann walked behind her to the bedroom. She took her nightgown out of her suitcase and walked into the bathroom. He sat on the side of the bed, his head in his hands. Surely after she met his family and the others she’d understand. They’d welcome her like a member of the tribe. His people knew he’d never bring an earthling woman to meet them unless he was serious about her.
