Unlucky [Lucky, Montana 2] (Siren Publishing Classic)

by Beverly Price

  “Damn it, Cheddar Bob, clean that shit up and don’t let him sleep in that. It’s bad enough we have to smell him, but he doesn’t need to stink the office up, too.” Cheddar Bob agreed and went to clean the kid up and grab a mop and bucket. Milo decided he better get busy with paperwork rather than sit and do nothing. The sooner he was done with the paperwork, the sooner he could go out and patrol, and when he patrolled, he wanted to check up on Piper. She was supposed to work in the morning, and he wanted to make arrangements to see her again. Maybe they could go get some dinner and play again, but this time in his bed. He needed to make sure she was following his directions with grooming. But he always wanted to know more about her in general. What plagued his mind the most was why she was still a virgin, or was before last night. He was going to get to the bottom of things, and soon.

  Damn that kid stunk. He hated drunks!

  * * * *

  Piper woke up feeling some soreness and smiled at the sensation. Putting on her glasses, she looked at the clock. She had about an hour to get up, shower, and be in to work. Getting out of bed, she went into the shower. She wanted to feel clean and fresh for her busy day ahead of her. Once in the shower she performed her normal tasks of washing her hair and body. Looking to the side, she spotted her razor and remembered what Milo had told her to do. Smiling at the memory, she went to work. Soon she was dressed and ready for the day. Since today was a warmer day, she decided to wear her cute little jean skirt that Sam told her she had to have. She felt self-conscious about wearing something so small, but she also knew that she might run into Milo today, and he seemed to have a thing with her legs. Keeping it simple, she paired it with a green tank top and her white sandals. She headed into the kitchen as the smell of coffee was rolling in. Sam must be up. He was sitting at the table reading a book and nibbling on some toast.

  “Morning, Sam. How was work last night? Did you get everything done you wanted?” Piper asked as she went about making herself a cup of tea. She never could get use to the flavor of coffee, it tasted bitter to her. Sam looked up at her and smiled.

  “Morning. Sorry I got in so late, but I had to get that last shipment in. I am thinking we need to either expand the shop or move locations. We also need some help at the store. You have saved me so much stress, but we are just growing too quickly. I was going to ask Riley, but she still works part time at the sheriff’s office when Cooper is in, but when the baby comes, I’m sure she will want to stay home. What do you think?” Sam asked.

  “Well, that is actually a good idea. However, I wanted to bring another idea up with you, so hear me out. I have been listening to a lot of women around town complaining about the same thing. No spa anywhere close. What if we expand the store and turn it into a spa? I know how to run one. Shit, I did it for years, and you have the products to use. We just need a few technicians and we’re in business. We can sell stock online as well. This will open up our client base. We just need to find a location big enough. Once I send my book in, I will get an advancement, and we can use that as a down payment. What do you think?” Piper said as she sat down to join Sam at the table.

  “Actually, that is a fantastic idea. We could be partners! Oh, Piper, I knew there was a reason you should have moved here. Well, besides me that is. Okay, time to open the shop. Hey, where is your car? I didn’t see it when I pulled in last night.”

  “Well, you see, it finally died, but that’s okay. I’ll ride with you, and I can walk everywhere else. So don’t worry. I will get it fixed or get a new one soon. So now that is settled, let’s head into work. Oh, and we need to set a plan for the club for this weekend. We are supposed to meet the owner and our acting Dom to show us around. I am so excited. I have the perfect outfit picked out. We just need to find something for you to wear. They do have a shop there for toys and clothes. We can always get you something there.”

  Sam bounced. Her enthusiasm was so infectious that Piper couldn’t help but smile. They piled into Sam’s truck, and soon they were off to work.

  After their discussion this morning, Piper felt more positive about the spa decision. Several of the customers spoke about it, and even some offered their services for hair and receptions. So far things were looking up. About one o’clock the door rang, notifying her there was a customer in the store. Sam was finishing up the new website and scheduling appointments to look at bigger buildings, so she was left with the task. Walking into the store room, she saw Milo standing at the door. He looked so damn good, too, in trademark jeans and a sheriff’s shirt, and in his hand he held his black Stetson.

  Piper put on her sweet smile. “Hi, sheriff. What can I do for you today?”

  Milo must have figured out she was playing with him as his look turned dark. “Well, Red, it seems I needed to check up on some things, and wanted to see if you wanted to have dinner with me tonight,” he asked with a somewhat of a shy smile.

  Damn could this man get any hotter?

  “Dinner, well, sure I love to. I—” Before she could say any more, Sam bounded out of the back and ran up to him, throwing her arms around him and hugging him tight.

  “Milo!” she shouted and then released him. “It’s good to see you, but why are you here? It’s not like you to be in my store.” Her look was puzzled as she turned and stared at Milo and then Piper. “Did I interrupt something?” she questioned both of them.

  “Actually, Sam, you did, but it’s okay. I was asking Piper if she would have dinner with me tonight,” Milo stated matter-of-factly. He turned to her and raised his eyebrow as if to challenge her to say something else.

  “Oh wow, well that’s unexpected, but I can’t say I’m upset. I think it’s fantastic you two are getting together. You both so perfect for each other! Why don’t you talk in the back room? I’ll watch the front,” Sam sputtered as she pushed her and Milo into the room in the back, shutting the door behind them.

  “Well now that I have you to myself, toy, let me start by saying I really do like your skirt,” Milo stated as he ran his fingers down her arm, sending delicious tingles to her pussy. His fingers kept moving longer as she spoke again. “And it is so short, makes it easy for me to do this.” He slid his hands right on up to her sex covered in her thin thong. “Well, you certainly didn’t listen when I said no panties, but did you do your other homework?” He slipped his fingers around the fabric. She had no idea it would be so sensitive being bare. It made her feel liberated as well. Milo continued his torturous maneuvers as he slipped a finger inside her already-wet cunt. “Good girl, I’m glad you’ve listened.” He continued the movement of his finger.

  “Tell me, Red, are you sore?” he asked as Milo kept up the slow pace, planting kisses along her jawline, and then brushed his lips across hers. Piper could feel herself start to pant with need. She suddenly knew what all those women she wrote about felt like. She had only imagined it, but this was so much more intense that she had thought.

  “No, well, maybe a little,” she whispered. She knew she shouldn’t lie to him. She was already in trouble for the panties, which she had forgotten about. He smiled down at her, and then he took her lips in a hard, passionate kiss that sent her soaring. She loved the way he took control and commanded her body. He knew where to touch, kiss, hell, even breathe on her to send her onto another plane. Milo walked her back to the wall next to the filing cabinet. Soon the kiss started to slow as he bent down, running his hands under her skirt to rip her panties from her body. She could feel a cold breeze on her now-naked lower half.

  “Don’t move. I want to play with my little toy right now. You are not allowed to come. If you do, I will punish you, and I don’t care who comes in. Do you understand me, toy?” Milo asked as he raised one of her legs to his shoulder to expose her glistening pussy to him.

  “Yes, sir,” Piper sighed as Milo ran the flat of his tongue over her clit. He continued to play with her pussy, pushing one, then two fingers into her while sucking and licking her clit in his mouth. Piper didn’t know if she could hold
on. The pressure was building deep down from her sex and going up her spine. She didn’t know if she could hold back anymore. Milo seemed to sense her need, and the bastard doubled his efforts, reaching deep inside to find her sweet spot. Piper mewled with need. The desire was uncurling as she reached down to hold Milo in place.

  “I’m gonna come. I don’t know if I can hold on. Please. Please, Milo, let me come. I need to come,” Piper begged as her breathing became ragged.

  Milo knew she was going to come as her vaginal wall started to close in on his fingers. “You don’t come until I’m inside you. I want you to milk my cock, toy.” And with that he withdrew his fingers, reached into his back pocket, and pulled out a condom. He held it up to Piper’s mouth as she placed her teeth on the edge, allowing him to open it one-handedly while he unbuckled and unzipped his pants. Once the foil packet was open, he slid it on his cock. His need for her was growing stronger each time he was near her. Then today she wore a damn skirt, sending his cock into an instant hard-on pressing against the tight confinement of his pants. Once the condom was in place, he lifted her up higher.

  “Wrap your legs around me, Red, and hold on. This is going to be hard and quick, but I need to be inside you right now.” With those words, he slammed into her. She gasped at his sudden attack sending her into an instant orgasm. To shield her scream, he covered her mouth with his, sucking all the pleasure out of her. She felt like heaven. She was so tight but fit him like a glove. He started a pounding rhythm that seems to keep her on edge. “Come for me again, Red. I need to feel you. Give it to me. Now,” he commanded through gritted teeth. He was so close, and she screamed again as he pumped into her two more times, finding his own release. God this woman was going to kill him.

  Resting his head on her chest, he slowed his breathing down while she, too, started to relax. Milo pulled out of her, gently placing her on her feet. Walking over to the trash can, he removed the condom, wrapping it in tissue. He zipped up his pants. He pulled out some more tissue, walked over to Piper, who still stood leaning against the wall, and cleaned her up after their afternoon delights.

  “How you feeling now, Red?” he asked her as he placed a sweet kiss on her lips. She looked so damn irresistible with her hair messed up, lips red and plump from their kissing, her skirt hiked up to her waist, and her glasses sliding down the bridge of nose. He loved her in those glasses. She looked great without them, but with them, there was a certain innocence about her. She fixed her skirt as she looked up at him, her green eyes shining as she smiled.

  “I’m fine now, Milo. How about you? I thought you just wanted to talk. What if someone walked in? Shit, they probably heard us. Damn it, Milo, I work here. Your sister now knows what we just did. Shit, this is totally going to turn into the Spanish Inquisition now with her,” Piper stated as she stood correcting anything that was out of place, and then she looked down at her ripped panties on the floor. Blushing, she went to pick them up, but he beat her to them as he tucked them into his pants pocket. He shook his head at her and smiled, knowing she was not happy. But she needed to know she was his, and he didn’t take that lightly. He also loved a woman who had fire, but was submissive in the bedroom. That was one thing that bothered him with Jessie. She wanted things her way and that was it. He was able to dominate her in the bedroom, but when he wanted more, she didn’t. Jessie didn’t argue too much. She just went and did what she pleased, not caring who got hurt in the process. Piper, however, would tell him to take a hike if he pissed her off. He loved it when she got mad. Her face would flush, and she was so damn sexy.

  “Baby, people are going to find out anyway. As for Sam, well, let’s just say she can be a pest, but she always has your best interests at heart. So don’t worry about it, okay? I’ll pick you up about seven from Sam’s, alright?” he said as he walked over and took her into his arms. She was so small compared to him. But she wasn’t too small. She was a curvy woman who he could love properly and not worry about her breaking when he slammed into her. She seemed to relax a bit as he kissed the top of her head. She smelled so good. What was that smell, though?

  “Red, what perfume are you wearing?” he asked. She blushed when he asked her.

  “Um, well, Sam makes it. It’s called Fluffy. It’s like a clean linen smell. I have a sensitive nose, and some smells are too strong and make me sneeze. This one doesn’t. Why? Does it smell bad?” she asked him. He could see her hesitation written all over her face.

  “No, Red, not at all. Actually, I like it a lot. It reminds me of home. When I was in the field, I relished the smell of clean laundry when it came. I just want to see if they have any massaging oils so I can rub you down later,” he replied with a wink.

  “Oh, okay. I think we do. Not one of our biggest sellers, but Sam knows I love it, so she keeps some for me.” She released herself from his hold and stepped back as someone started to try and open the door. He was glad he locked it when he walked in.

  “Okay, Red, good to know. Let’s head out. I have some work to finish. Cooper said he was taking Riley to get an ultrasound today, so I am taking his shift. I will be here at seven.” He opened the door to find Sam standing there with her arms crossed.

  “Glad you’re done now, oh brother of mine. Could you make her scream any louder? I don’t think the neighbors heard her. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy, but you scared away an older couple. You’re bad for business, Milo. Please leave for now and come and get her later.” She uncrossed her arms and hugged him before pushing him out the door away from the customers and Piper. He laughed the entire time. He headed to his truck to make his rounds, trying to determine where he would take Piper.

  Piper stood there, embarrassed by what Sam had heard and said. How could she have allowed herself to act that way? She was never one to forget where she was, but when Milo was around, she forgot everything. She would even forget her name if he smiled at her. She had it bad. She didn’t want to say it was love. She had never been in love, so she had nothing to compare this to.

  Sam stood by the door looking at her like she had a second head growing out her ass. This was her why the hell didn’t you tell me look.

  “I’m sorry,” was all she managed to say as she headed into the store.

  “You’re sorry? Shit, Piper, why didn’t you tell me? How long as this been going on? Well, it couldn’t have been that long since he has only been here a short time. Did you date before he left? Crap, I don’t know whether to hit you or hug you. I’m happy it’s Milo. You deserve to be happy. I just don’t want to see you hurt if something happens,” Sam babbled out as she hugged Piper from behind. Piper breathed a sigh of relief, as for now she was safe while a customer walked in to look at bubble baths.

  Chapter Seven

  Around closing time, Piper was setting up a display on the top shelf next to the door while she was thinking about Milo. She had not heard the person coming up behind her until he spoke.

  “Um, darlin’, as much as I am enjoying the view, you might want to finish the top shelf another time.”

  Piper spun to see what he was talking about when she realized she was wearing a skirt with no panties, free for all to see. Shit. She reached down to cover herself when her foot slipped from the ladder she was on and she came toppling down. The stranger had tried to catch her, but her damn foot got caught in the rung, and she swore she heard a pop from her ankle. Damn it. She knew she did some damage this time. Piper cried out in pain as the stranger laid her down on the ground. Sam was soon beside her.

  “Shit, Wes, what the hell happened?” Sam yelled. Oh, so this was the Wes that Milo was talking about. “Piper, are you okay? Crap, hon, you ankle is swelling already. We need to get you to the doctor, like now. Do you think you can take her for me, Wes? I can’t leave the shop unattended. I’ll call ahead, and I’ll call Milo as well.”

  The pain in her ankle was killing her. She had to have dislocated it or something. She was normally lucky to not break bones, but she had bruised about all of them
so far. Wes had scooped her up unto his arms and placed her in what she assumed was his truck. About five minutes later he pulled into the clinic that Piper was trying to avoid once again. Wes picked her up and carried her as the office door was open by the receptionist who was usually at her desk. A nurse took them to the back, holding the door open and ushering them both to a room, which held an X-ray machine. Wes set her down on the table and was ushered out by the nurse.

  The door never shut as the doctor came strolling in right then. He looked at the ankle and nodded to the nurse to get everything ready with the film and exited the room.

  “Okay, Piper, I am going to give you something for the pain first, and then we will shoot your ankle. I need you to hold perfectly still for me, okay?” Piper nodded in agreement as the doctor shot something into her arm that burned slightly. The doctor turned her ankle in various directions, and Piper willed herself not to cry out any more than she had to as he moved her ankle into the spots he needed. She was in pain but soon started to feel fuzzy. All she wanted to do now was sleep.

  She was moved to an examining room by the doctor and nurse and waited to hear the results. Piper tried to wipe away the tear that ran down her face. This sucked. Couldn’t things go in her favor just once? Piper closed her eyes, trying to calm her breathing down. The door quietly opened, and Milo came walking in. He looked pissed. Crap, what did she do now? Well, he could just go suck a lemon for all she cared right now. It was his fault she was in here. Yes, she was going to blame this one on him. He ripped her panties off of her, leaving her bare for all to see.

  Milo hadn’t known what to think when he got the call from Sam. All she was saying was the Piper fell and went to the clinic with Wes. What had she done this time? He assumed she had just cut herself and needed stitches. But when he saw her lying on the clinic bed, he felt sick. He ankle was swollen twice the size it should be, and she had tears running down her face. All he wanted to do was wrap her in bubble wrap to avoid her from getting hurt again. She was always accident prone.
