Colter's Revenge (27 page)

Tease!

Using his teeth, he managed to unclip one of her clamps. Fiery pain roared through her labia and Ashley couldn’t help but grimace. Thankfully, the hot flush of Colter’s tongue slowly pacified the ache, replacing the pain with soothing pleasure. He did the same with the other clit clamp. He maneuvered her higher and she cried out again as her pussy lips were parted by his nose. He moved back and forth, using his nose to smooth over her ultrasensitive clit. She could feel her flesh hardening, pulsing with arousal.

His unshaven face raked wonderfully against the delicate insides of her labia, arousing her to new heights. Her breasts felt heavy, so swollen as they jiggled with her every movement.

Just when she thought she just might climax, he maneuvered her off him. 153

“God, Ashley,” he gasped, licking his lips. “You taste so damn good…but my cock is going to explode.”

His big chest heaved with his every ragged beat and she couldn’t help but giggle. Positioning herself over his lower half, she bent her knees onto both sides of his hips, being extra careful with his wounded thigh, she quickly twisted the clit ring that doubled for the release screw.

She popped off the ball stretcher.

He groaned as the blood roared into his balls. Easing herself down, she couldn’t help but inhale as his delicious thickness sliced into her, his huge size filling her wet channel.

Colter’s eyes were now closed. His nostrils flared. His cock pulsed inside her vagina. Squeezing her muscles around his pulsing cock, she held it tight for a long time, watching the gorgeous way he closed his eyes tighter. She was an expert at keeping a man aroused with her vaginal muscles. The general had made her do pelvic exercises every day while he’d watched. He’d even stuck his finger or his cock inside her to make sure she was tightening properly. Thank God, those horrid days were over and she could hopefully go on with life as a free woman.

Moving her hips gently, trying hard not to hurt his cock because of the overlong bondage, she slowly brought them both to the sultry edge of climax. She watched Colter’s mouth open in a sensual gasp.

“You like?”

His answer came as an erotic moan.

Oh yes, he was enjoying himself. Now might be a good time to present her final question.

“Colter?”

“Mmm?”

His eyes remained closed.

“Do you…want to…?”

He must have heard the seriousness in her voice. The need for him to pay attention to what she was about to say for his eyes popped open.

She allowed her vaginal muscles to relax around his rod. Maybe this was the wrong time to bring it up. But her time was running out.

She hadn’t told Colter, but while he’d slept, Blade had come back with the cash S.K.U.L.L. had promised. It had been a goodwill gesture on their part. The Outlaws had been ecstatic, but their happiness had been short-lived when Blade told them S.K.U.L.L. was having difficulty locating Tyler. The rescue team had broken into the small, private prison Tyler had been housed in. It had been abandoned.

But the members were tracking down the several guards of the prison. Blade felt confident it would only be a matter of time before they had Tyler, if he wasn’t dead. It 154

was information the family had asked her not to share with Colter until he’d recuperated and she had agreed.

Before Blade had left, she’d asked him to release her bodyguard and bring him back there. Once that happened, she would have to leave with him immediately.

“I need to return to Colette.”

A flash of hurt splashed across his face and then it was gone. “That’s understandable.”

“I want you to come with me. I can’t bring her here. I can’t risk her being registered or taken away for the Claiming Law.”

“She’s only four! No one is going to touch her!”

Ashley smiled and sighed in relief. He’d turned into a fierce, protective father already. She’d expected this, but not quite so soon.

“All girls in the countries that have adopted the Claiming Law are being registered despite their ages, and many are already being sold and placed with their prospective husbands long before they reach marrying age. Men are so desperate, they are willing to take the risk and dish out thousands and thousands of dollars for purchasing a girl even before she’s infected. It’s a chance they are willing to take. One I’m not. I have had her removed from this country.”

“But I’ve heard the entire world is adopting this Law. Are you sure she’s safe?

Where was she born?”

“She was born in Iraq. After leaving you…we moved continuously throughout Europe. About four months later he was assigned back to Iraq where we stayed until she was born and then we were moving around again. After the collapse of the Terrorist Wars he brought me back to the States, to Utah. I was lucky because the general had connections to exempt me from the Claiming Law but Colette…”

“We’ve got to hide her from the government.”

“There are a few smaller countries who’ve vowed to never adopt the Claiming Law. The country of Monaco is one of them. I have her there with a trusted friend. Once I leave the States… I won’t be coming back. I won’t bring her back here, at least not until women have rights again.”

“I don’t want her in this type of world, either.”

“Before you give me an answer, there is something else you have to consider.”

“What’s that?”

“Callie.”

He cursed softly. “We’d have to find another man to take my place. I doubt Luke would go with that idea.”

“There’s another way. We can take Callie and your brothers with us. I have more than enough money to secure their voyage…”

“I don’t know, Starry Eyes.”

Devastation rocked her at his words. She thought she’d been prepared for him to say no. Thought she could handle it. But now she realized she really hadn’t realized that Colter might not come with her. He had responsibilities. The farm they’d worked so hard to keep. Callie. His brothers and Tyler hopefully coming home. His entire world was here. Aside from this magnificent sexual attraction they shared, he really didn’t know her all that much either.

“It should be up to them individually if they want to come with us. I can’t speak for them, sweetheart.”

“Us?”

“Of course. I want to be with both you and our girl. I want to protect you and I’ll do it with my life if I have to.”

“Your life is already in too much danger as it is with Cheri—”

“S.K.U.L.L. should do a good enough job at covering my tail, at least long enough for us to get out of the country.”

“Speaking of tails…” She clenched her vagina around his pulsing rod again. He groaned. “I’ll get even with you, I swear, Ashley.”

She laughed and tweaked her pierced nipples in front of him and gently moved her hips at the same time.

“I can’t take much more,” he warned.

“Are you going to come with me?”

“Yes, I’m coming,” he hissed between gritted teeth.

“To Monaco?”

“I’ll come inside you in Monaco too, Starry Eyes.”

An almost hysterical happiness swelled through her at his answer and she giggled wildly, unable to believe her luck. Her Outlaw Lover would come away with her. She gyrated her hips harder, quicker. The suctioning sound of her cunt devouring his cock intermingled with her whimpers of enjoyment and she headed straight into a wonderful climax intermingled with his hoarse groans of fulfillment.

* * * * *

Colter couldn’t stop himself from grinning as he watched Ashley standing at the stove scrambling eggs and frying bacon for him for breakfast. They’d made love far into the night, and at first light they’d woken and made love again. Shit!

He couldn’t get enough of looking at her. She wore a plain brown skirt that hugged her shapely ass and a peasant-style white blouse that allowed him just the tiniest glimpse of her dark nipples when she occasionally turned around to talk to him about their plans to go to Monaco.

Colter’s Revenge

And he was still trying to come to grips that he was a father. It gave him a hell of a new perspective on things. He had a little girl and a woman to protect against the Claiming Law. Now he understood why fathers were so defiant against the Law. Why they sent their daughters into hiding. He’d do the same. No way in hell would he ever let anyone touch his little girl.

God! He hadn’t even met her and already his emotions were on a roller coaster, and he was planning her future. She’d go to college. Maybe even go into medicine. Or maybe she’d be an artist. But he wouldn’t allow her to go out with just any guy. He’d demand she bring home any prospective suitors to allow him to interrogate them. He’d make sure the guy was scared stiff. Enough so he wouldn’t make any wrong moves on his daughter. Yeah, and he’d even show the boy his shotgun just for good measure.

“What’s so funny?”

The cheerful sound of Ashley’s voice snapped him back to the present. While he’d been daydreaming she’d spooned a heap full of scrambled eggs and pea meal bacon onto his plate along with toast and jam.

“I’ve been thinking,” he said as he forked down delicious mouthfuls of the fluffy eggs.

Man! She was a good cook too!

“Maybe we should try to give Colette a brother. A protector.”

“Oh for heaven’s sake, Colter. That’s not a reason to have another baby.”

“He’d be there for her when we’re gone. Maybe we should give her several brothers.” Yeah that would be even better. Colette would need a strong family to support her in this crazy world.

“Easy, big guy. One baby at a time, okay? And don’t be planning our daughter’s future for her, either. I want her to do what she wants to do and not think that she needs to do this or that just to please us.”

“An independent woman, just like her starry-eyed mother. I just hope she’s not as headstrong and as stubborn as you are.”

Her eyes widened in mock anger and a flutter of excitement shot through him.

“And let’s hope she doesn’t have your flair for living on the edge by accepting assignments that put her life in too much danger.”

“I told you, I’m finished with S.K.U.L.L.”

“Until the next time they show up and make you an offer you can’t refuse.”

Colter shoved a crisp piece of bacon into his mouth and held up his fingers in a Scout pledge.

“I promise. I won’t accept another assignment from them. No matter what. Besides, I’ll be too busy bouncing all those baby boys on my knees.”

“You’ll have to catch me and pin me down before you get that wish, big guy.”

“If I wasn’t so damn hungry, I’d take you right here on the kitchen table, woman.”

The pink tip of her tongue poked out of her mouth and she wiggled her eyebrows at him. “I’m hungry, but not for food.”

“Blade was right, you are an insatiable woman.”

Suddenly he wasn’t so hungry for food anymore, either. He stood and came around to where she sat.

Her eyes were twinkling with that breathtaking starry look she only reserved for him. A wild fluttery feeling whipped through his lower abdomen and he inhaled sharply.

“What’s wrong? Is your wound hurting you?”

“No, it’s…nothing.” How in the world could he ever explain to her the intense joy he felt every time she looked at him like that? There just weren’t words to explain it.

“It’s just you’re so beautiful. All the years we’ve wasted.”

She grabbed his hands. They were soft and feminine—her fingers branded him. Oh man! The things she’d done to his cock with her fingers. He pulled her off the chair and hoisted her onto the table.

“Don’t think about what the general did to us,” she whispered. She held tight to his hands as if trying to reassure him everything would be all right. “It was out of our control. Now we’re back on track. Back in control. We have our future. We have our girl to protect. We have to stay safe for her.”

He could read the uncertainty on her face, the cute little frown burrowed between her eyes, the tight smile. He sensed she was giving up control. Leaning on him now. Trusting him to protect her.

Damned if he would let her down.

“Don’t worry, Starry Eyes. We’ll be safe.”

The sound of a car’s engine rumbled through the partially opened kitchen window and her eyes widened.

“Colter, someone’s here.”

The fear in her voice made adrenaline shoot into his very core. Three short, sharp blasts of a horn settled him down.

“It’s okay. That’s Cade’s signal. He’s back.”

He hoisted her off the table and led her to the window where they watched Cade’s pickup truck roar into the yard.

“Blade’s with him,” Ashley whispered. Worry etched her face and her hand tightened even harder against his palm.

“Must be bad news if they’ve hooked up and come back together,” Colter found himself saying.

As he watched the two men saunter toward the house his guts wrenched into a tight knot. Ashley’s bodyguard wasn’t with them. He didn’t know if that part was good news or bad.

158

Colter’s Revenge

That wasn’t his main concern, though. His brother Tyler wasn’t with them, either.

* * * * *

“You want the good news or the bad news first?” Blade asked as he stomped into the kitchen.

Ashley couldn’t stop herself from biting her lip as a grim-faced Cade came sauntering in right behind him. Whatever had happened, it didn’t look good.

“Just spill it, Blade. Is Ty safe or not?” Colter asked tightly.

“That’s the good news. He’s been successfully extracted.”

Thank God!

“The bad news?”

“He caused a bit of trouble for S.K.U.L.L. Refused to leave with them unless they took his cellmate. I have to tell you, I’ve never heard a S.K.U.L.L. member swear so much like Bev when she talked about someone.”

Colter chuckled. “That’s Tyler. Always a handful. That’s not the bad news though, is it?”

“He’s in rough shape. He and his cellmate have been hospitalized. Seems they’ve been through quite the ordeal. They have broken bones… A lot of torture was involved. He’s an angry young man. He won’t be coming home for a little while. There’s the debriefing…”
