Wanted (50 page)

I hopped into the jeep and we set off for the west pasture. I knew the perfect spot I was going to take her to. There was a giant live oak that I use to lay under when I wanted to be alone and think. It was one my favorite places on the ranch
to be.

Ellie sat next to me in the jeep
and smiled the whole way. “It’
s amazing how I can see even though it is dark! I love it here already Gu
nner!” Ellie said with a smile.

“I’m glad to hear that sweetheart.”

I pulled up to the oak tree. After a quick check to make sure here was no manure around I laid out the blanket and put the basket down. I turned the ignition over and tuned it to a country station. I had to laugh when
“How Country Feels”
by Randy Houser
started to play.

“Well shit Ells if this
a
in’t
the perfect song for you!”

Ellie laughed
and sat down on the blanket.

I knelt down next to her and pushed a piece of hair that had fallen fro
m her pony tail behind her ear.

“Close your eyes sweetheart and don’t
open them until I tell you to.”

“
Okay
….”

Ellie clos
ed her eyes and slowly laid back
. I saw her chest
rising
up and down so fast. God I could just lay here all night and watch her.
I leaned in closer to her but was
careful not to block her view.

“Open your eyes Ellie.”

She waited a good thirty
seconds before she finally opened her eyes. She sucked in her breath and her eyes grew wider. She didn’t say a word. The smile that spread across her
face was the sexiest thing I’
d ever seen in my life. My fucking dick decided it liked it also. I moved and
laid
down next to her as I grabbed her hand and just lo
ok
ed up at the endless amount of stars.
I never get tired of seeing this.

“It doesn’t even lo
ok
real. I never knew there were SO many star
s. There are millions of them!”

We laid there for I don’t know how long just talking about everything.
Favorite movies, songs, singers, bands, you name it we talked about it.

“Gunner can I ask you something and please do not feel like you have to answer.”

“Ellie honey you can ask me anything you want.” I said as
I kissed the back of her hand.

“Why don’t you ever talk about your parents?”

I sat up and ran my
hand through my hair.

“Um, well…I don’t exactly have the best r
elationship with them. I haven’
t talked to my father or mother in almost three years.”

Ellie sat up and lo
ok
ed shocked. “WHY?”

I let out a small laugh. “Well shit where should I start.”

“Gunner you don’t
have to talk about this if it’
s upsetting for you.”

I lo
ok
ed over at her and my heart just swelled. I wante
d to tell her about my parents.

“No, it’s
okay
Ellie.” I took a d
eep breath and started talking.

“
My
dad is a drill instructor in the Army and he and my mother live in Lawton
,
Ok
lahoma. My dad and I had different ideas about what I should do with my life. I wanted to play football back here in Texas. My dream was to go to UT, play football for them
and then help out Gramps
with the ranch. My father’s dream was for me to go in the Army right after high school. Said it was the only way to make something of my life.
He pretty much thought I was a loser for playing football and said I would never get anywhere in my life. After I told him I got accepted into UT and got a footbal
l scholarship he told me if I went to school in Texas
he was finished with me. My mother never did really have the nerve to stand up to my father so on the day I graduated high school, he had my bags packed and
he
told me to leave.”

“Oh
my gosh
Gunner how could your own parents do that to you? Have you talked to them at all?”

“No, not since I started UT. My mother called a few times the summer after high school. I was s
taying here with Gramps and Grams
. But once she realized I was not going to back down….
well, I haven’
t talked to her
since that summer
. Not even at Christmas. Don’t
feel bad for me sweetheart. It’
s really no different than your mother doing what she did to you all those years.”

Ellie
laid
back down on the blanket and lo
ok
ed up at the stars. We sat ther
e in silence for a few minutes.

“Do you want kids Gunner?”

My heart started beating a mile a minute. What if Ellie didn’t want kids? I had always dreamed of a little boy or girl I could teach to fish, ride a horse, learn about the cattle business. It was something I longed for. What if Ellie’s mother had totally fucked up her thinking of kids? I panicked for a brief second.

“Yes, I want kids somed
ay. What about you?”

Ellie stared up at the stars and then smiled. She turned her head over and lo
ok
ed at me
and that smile of hers just blew me away
.

“Yes and
I
will love them unconditionally.”

I let o
ut the breath I was holding in.

Ellie wanted kids.

God how I hoped I wa
s the one to make that another one of her firsts
.

CHAPTER FORTY ONE

E
llie……

Gunner pretty much held
his breath until I said that I also wanted kids someday
. I wonder what he was thinking. I actually saw him let out the breath he was holding when I said yes. Was he thinking he wanted to have kids wit
h me?

I could only dream. The thought of having Gunner’s kids was too much to even think about. I could just see them now running around the ranch with Gunner chasing t
hem. I bet he would make a great
dad to our kids.

Oh wow….where the hell did that come from?
OUR KIDS
???
I sat up quickly and sho
ok
my head. Fuck me why did I keep getting these thoughts?

Just then Lady
Antebellum’s
“
Just a Kiss
”
started to play. Oh God I loved this song! I jumped up and about scared the shit out of Gunner.

“Oh my God I LOVE this song! Can I turn it up?”

Gunner laughed at me. “Of course
you can
sweetheart!”

I got up and started to walk over to the jeep. Just then I heard something. It was someone whistling and it was loud! Then I heard dogs howling. I let out a scream as I turned to run back to Gunner. I saw Gunner jump up and before I knew
it
I jumped into his arms and wrapped my legs arou
nd his body and buried my face.

“Holy fuck Ellie what’s wrong? What happened?”

“
OH MY GOD!
OH MY
GOD who is that whistling at us and do you not
hear
the coyotes!?! They’
re going to come after us!” I practically scre
amed into Gunner’s chest
.

Then I heard the whistle again! Holy shit it sounded like it belo
nged in the Amazon rain forest!

“There it is again!”

Gunner threw his head back and laughed.
I kept my face
buried into his neck.

“Holy hell Ells….those are
Whipporwills
. They
’
re birds!” Gunner was laughing his ass off as he held me. I don’t think I could have
had
my legs wrapped around him any tighter.
I looked at him confused as shit.

“W
ait. What? They’
re birds? What kind of birds are out a
t
night for Christ sakes
a
nd how close are those coyotes?”

“They’
re not that close. Sound really travels in the country Ells. You could be a half a mile from me talking and I would be able to hear you. It’s alright; there is nothing to be scared of.”

Oh
gesh
….I felt like an idiot.
He was smiling from ear to ear that beautiful cro
ok
ed smile. Instantly I felt the ache between
my legs. I didn’t even realize it at first but
I pushed my hips into Gu
nner.
Gunner’s smile fad
ed and he leaned in to kiss me.

And kiss me he did!
Holy fuck this might have been the most passionate kiss ever from him. I grabbed his hair and held him tighter and kissed him back
with just as much passion
. He started to walk while he held onto me and next thing I knew he had
me pressed
up against the jeep
, he adjusted me to where I could feel his erection
. We never br
ok
e the kiss. The ache between my legs was growing as he slowly started to move his hips
against it
. I instinctively moved my hips with his. Gunner slowly pulled his mouth away from mine. The lo
ok
in his eyes was amazing. I will nev
er forget it as long as I live.

“Ellie, can I touch you?”

Oh. My. God…….

“Yes.
”

Gunner slow
ly placed his hand under my t-
shirt. His hand started to move up my stomach and I thought I was going to explode from the inside out.

“Fuck Ellie….your skin is so soft.”

I couldn’
t even think. His touch was driving me crazy. The ache between my legs was growing stronger and I was starting to feel weird.
I shivered and Gunner stopped moving his hand.

“Touch me Gunner…please keep touching me.”
I begged. God I didn’t want him to stop.

Gunner leaned in and started to kiss me again. I felt him move my bra and it released my breast
s
to him. His hand moved and started to caress each one. Then he started to play with my nipple. I let out a moan against his mouth and I felt him pres
s his hips harder into me
.

There was a strange intense feeling building in my body. What the hell was going on? I pressed
my hips
harder into Gunn
er and started to rock a
gainst him. He kept playing with my nipples, twisting them and pulling them. He
pushed me harder into the jeep and
to
ok
his other hand and grabbed the back o
f my head and deepened our kiss as he pressed harder in
to me.

Oh. My.
Fucking.
Hell…..

S
omething was happening
to me
….I pulled a
way from Gunner as it hit me full force
. I started to scream out his name as the feeling got so intense I thought I was going to die. Gunner captu
red my screams with his mouth.

I thought for a brief moment I
had
left my body. As I started to come down from the overwhelming
pulsating sensations
Gunner slowed down his kissing and stopped playing with my nipple. He moved his hand around to
my back. I felt so weak
I think if he were
to put me down right now I would collapse on
to the ground.

Gunner ever so slowly
pulled away from my mouth as I opened my eyes. I was breathing like I just ran a fucking marathon and so w
as he. He leaned his forehead against
mine and we
didn’t move
until
we
both caught our breath.

“Baby, please tell
me that was your first orgasm.”

Fuck me….I just had an orgasm. I was going to fucking KILL Ari for not telling me how fucking amazing they were. Were all of them this wonderful? Maybe it is because it was with Gunner? I didn’t even know you could have one without having sex…
..
Okay
well
,
I
did, but not just by kissing
and a little hip grinding.
