Nor did he have a baby with any of them!
Which you still have to tell him about, doll face.
I know … I know!
Jarrod was waiting for them when they arrived at the airstrip, his face grim. He noticeably relaxed when Chris assisted Shannon from the chopper. He walked into her and wrapped her in his arms. He turned his back towards his cousins and his lips covered hers.
His lips were warm and intoxicating, slowly stroking her to ecstasy. His tongue swept past her lips and made sweeping, swirling motions inside her mouth and immediately drew hers into his mouth.
Shannon’s hands closed around his sides. Her body already suffused with heat that his wicked tongue evoked.
He plundered ruthlessly.
He plunged deeply.
The invasion sensual and full of need. He fisted his hand in her hair to hold her head in place. He sipped from her mouth until she was breathless.
She moaned and he deepened the kiss. Slanting his mouth back and forth over hers, driving deeper, sipping erotically.
Reed cleared his throat loudly behind them and Shannon stiffened. She had completely forgotten about them! Jarrod ended the kiss leisurely and looked deep into her eyes.
“I am seriously annoyed with you, woman. Once we are back, we are havin’ a lon’ talk about your tendency to ignore my calls when you’re angry with me.”
“Excuse me, Cuz. Is this goin’ to take much longer? Chris and I wanna know if we can start on the huntin’ so lon’?”
Jarrod turned to them with his arm still around Shannon. He scowled at them.
“As the official elder one of us all, I am sorely tempted to cancel this trip.”
“Oh no, you don’t! I brought a bundle of chick flicks for Rosa and I and you are not going to spoil our fun!”
“Heaven forbid any man should interfere with women and their chick flicks, Cuz. C’mon, let’s go. James is here to take Shannon to the house.”
Jarrod grumbled. He hugged and gave Shannon another drugging kiss before he joined his cousins and got on Hades. They waved as they galloped away over the prairie.
They rode out to the furthest outpost on the ranch. There was a cottage specifically built for the winter months when they worked with the wild stallions on the prairie. It had three large bedrooms with numerous bunks, an open lounge and kitchen area and a massive porch with a build-in barbeque grill.
Some of the modern luxuries were added over the past few years specifically for their ‘horny toad hunting’ trips. The older they got, the less appealing ‘roughing’ it became. They preferred to sit on the porch and indulge in the ‘horny toad juice’ and just be … men. If a horny toad managed to scuttle on the porch … well then they would hunt him down.
“So, tell us more about Shannon, Cuz? What is she to you?” Reed asked once they were settled on the porch, each with a beer in the hand.
“What do you mean what is she to me?” Jarrod frowned at his cousins. “I would have thought it was quite clear? Exactly what all the others were.”
“Yeah? And what was that exactly?”
“You know … sex, with her, good sex … damn good sex.”
“Aaah … therein lies the problem, cuz. How sure are you that it is just about the sex?”
“Of course that is what it is about! What else would there be?”
“Well, we were thinkin’ you would be tellin’ us.”
“I don’t know what you’re on about. We have good sex and …”
They laughed and he glowered at them.
“We might have believed you if … and this is a big if, cuz, you treated her the same you did all the others before. We have never in all our lives seen you kiss a woman before. Never. You always waited until you were alone with them. You have never been exclusive with anyone before. Since meetin’ her, you’ve not even smiled at another woman!”
“Yip, just as Chris says. You were noggin’ Shannon somethin’ fierce when we arrived. I was nearly knocked on my ass I was so surprised!”
“Yeah, well, maybe things are slightly different.
I just can’t seem to get enough of her. But I suppose eventually that will change as well.”
“Yeah? No jealous or possessive thoughts ever?”
“So what if I do? I don’t happen to share what is mine.”
“Oh, she is yours then, is she?”
“Oh bloody hell! Enough already! Did you guys brin’ me here to interrogate me to death over a woman? I’ve been sittin’ with an empty beer bottle in my hand for the past fifteen minutes!”
“Just remember, Shannon made me swear we won’t drink too much.”
“Since when do we allow a woman to dictate how our horny toad huntin’ should end? Either we do it properly, or we might just as well go back now.”
“Doesn’t help to get annoyed about the truth, cuz. She’s gotten under your skin. Your bachelor days, dear Jarrod, are over.”
“Yeah … as in totally.”
“You both are clearly already far in your cups. Jump to it Reed! It’s my birthday! I’m never supposed to be without a drink in my hand!”
“We better have some horny toads to show your lady in the mornin’ or we’re all goin’ to be in serious trouble!”
“Oh … I have a horny toad to show her alright!”
They guffawed and shook their heads at Jarrod, who was still annoyed at their assumption that his bachelor days were over.
If only I did not agree with them! That sinfully temptin’ woman has totally gotten under my skin!
Chapter Thirteen
By the time the three cousins galloped onto the ranch yard it was overrun with people, tables, chairs and cookout grills. The barbeque flavors were already spreading and they could smell it from miles away. Jarrod frowned when he led Hades into the stable. James and the other stable hands ran to fetch the horses to rub them down and put them to stable.
“What the hell is all this?”
“Damned if we know.”
“Somehow I find that hard to believe. At a guess I would say the two of you are in the center of this. Ugh … shit, the sun is damn sharp this mornin’!”
“Yeah … the horny toad juice might have somethin’ to do with that.”
“You’re a damn FBI agent, Reed. Why did you not stop us from drinkin’ so much? Now we look like drunken fools at the start of a cookout!”
“Don’t look at me! Someone amongst us had somethin’ to proof … or disproof!”
“You better put up a broad smile and blink those red eyes away. Shannon is goin’ to be highly upset if you spoil the first cookout party she arranged for you.”
“Shannon did this?”
“Yip … and quite a task master she was too, without really knowin’ what a cookout entailed! She did one hell of a job, by the look of things. You should be proud of your woman, cuz. Real proud.”
“Damn! You guys know how I feel about birthday parties!”
“Yeah, but at a guess, I think that is about to change.”
“Chris Parker! You promised! Just look at the three of you!”
“Ahem … sorry Shannon.”
“Real sorry, Shan.”
Jarrod’s eyebrows rose and he gaped at his contrite cousins standing in front of a furious woman, half their size, and their chins on their chests. Good Lord, they look like two boys that were caught with their hands in the cookie jar!
“Hells bells, I don’t believe it!”
Chris and Reed glowered at him and he chuckled, knowing he was the one that was at the front of driving their ‘horny toad hunting’ trip, last night.
Well … I made no promises!
Yet, when her eyes narrowed on him, he felt as if he did. He walked closer to her and reached out to draw her in his arms, but she retreated, her small nose wrinkling in distaste.
“If you think I will kiss you smelling like a liquor store even from here, think again, buster! I suggest the three of you walk around the back and get cleaned up. All the g
uests are here already, so don’t take too long.”
“Yes Shannon.” They all said in unison. Jarrod hung back when his cousins turned and walked around the back towards the house.
“Aren’t you goin’ to wish me happy birthday, doll face?”
“Once you are clean … AND sober, yes.”
“Now wait a moment! You knew what our trip was about, you can’t …”
“Go and get cleaned up, Jarrod! We have guests waiting!’
He turned and walked away with a smile so wide on his face, it competed with the barn. She called them their guests.
Jarrod whistled while he walked into his room naked from the en suite, rubbing his hair with a towel. He shocked to a halt and stared at the vision sitting on the side of the bed. His dick slammed upwards in full arousal. Her hair tumbled over her shoulders to her waist, covering her breasts. She moved her shoulders slightly and two rosy pink nipples peeped through her hair. She was naked! Totally naked.
“I found that I could not wait until tonight to wish you a happy birthday after all.”
“Doll face … you …”
“Come here, Jarrod.”
He walked closer, his rampaging dick bobbing as he walked. She had a small smile on her face and he felt his dick growing harder and bigger still.
Shit, he was in so much trouble!
He stopped a step away from the edge of the bed and she shook her head. He took the final step, painfully aware that his jutting dick was on level with her wicked mouth.
Shannon reached out and her small hands caressed over his tight torso and lower over his sculptured abs. She tortured him by caressing every hard ridge before she walked her fingers lower to hesitate just above his dick that jerked at their closeness. She leaned forward and he groaned when her hot lips smoothed over his abs and down lower. Shannon smiled when he sucked in his breath when she kissed him just above his shaft that quivered in anticipation.
Her hair tickled the tip of his dick, it was agonizing and he fisted his hands. His groan reverberated through the room when her small hands slowly caressed up the length of his dick. Her fingers traced the vein from the bottom of his scrotum all the way to the tip. Her lips still caressed the soft spot on his lower stomach. He felt her fingers caress every inch of his dick, up and down its length until both her hands covered his dick and she started smoothing them up and down his length. She caressed his broad blunt tip, spreading the juices escaping from the slit all over the tip.
She dipped her head lower and her tongue found the vein at the bottom of his dick. His muscles bulged in his arms when she traced it up and down with her tongue. His increased breathing caused his chest to rise and fall rapidly. Feeling her hot, wet tongue on him caused such an erotic rush of need down his body into his groin, he shuddered.
Shannon touched and squeezed his balls and Jarrod groaned. Her head lowered and he knew he was in deep trouble. She found the ridge of the vein that ran up between his testicles from where it started on their undersides. She pressed her tongue against it and his thighs tightened. She drew her tongue over it. a Long, very slow lick, continuing right to the tip of his shaft. She repeated the full-length licks until his legs clamped around hers his dick jerked against her tongue.
She leaned closer and her hair curtained around her, flicking against his thighs. She covered her teeth with her lips and took his shaft in her mouth. In one wonderful movement, she took him into her mouth as deep as he could go. He gave a shout. Seeing his shaft disappear so rapidly inside her hot little mouth was so unexpected he nearly came instantly. It was the first time she did this to him and he thought she would be tentative, slow. He sure as hell did not expect a full-length dick swallow right away!
“Good Lord, Honey! Ooh HEELL!”
Shannon used one hand to hold the base of his dick, and he nearly exploded when her wet tongue curled around the tip. She folded her other fist around it loosely to slide it up and down his satiny, steely length. She pulled her mouth back and slid her hand up the shaft. Jarrod growled when she closed her hand around the head of his penis. She continued with the motion of her hand on him and took him inside her mouth again. It felt as if he was caught in a snug vacuum and he growled with pleasure when she started sliding her mouth up and down, her hand following her mouth. His whole dick shivered and jerked inside her delicious mouth.
He could not take his eyes from her, feeding off him - his breathing harsh as he felt his orgasm rising more rapidly than he would have liked. He has never allowed anyone to be this intimate with him. Caressing and pumping with their hands, yes, but never more. It was just too intimate and would have left him too vulnerable.
Jarrod knew he was doomed when she twisted her hand slightly once it reached the head. At the same time she swirled the flat of her tongue around the rim of the head. Then she concentrated only on his head and he moaned uncontrollably pushing his hips into her. She tensed her tongue and flicked it over his swollen length following with a flutter of her tongue over the tip.
Shannon let go of his dick and her hands fluttered around his body to caress his ass. She lowered her mouth over his shaft, taking him so deep he felt his head hit her throat at the back. He growled. His whole body trembled with the need to thrust inside her mouth.
“Babe … don’t hold back … I want you to take my mouth!”
“Honey … I … God damn … don’t want to come in your mouth … not now!”
Her lips closed over his dick again and she pushed down deep, her eyes glued to his. Unable to hold back any longer he thrust forward into her mouth and watched her match his thrusts. She allowed him full access to her mouth with her fingers caressing his back. He felt the head of his shaft hit against the back of her throat every time he thrust forward. His body felt as if lit by a cindering flame and he swore he had a furnace bubbling inside, burning to explode.
His movements quickened, his breathing became haggard and his heart beat so hard and so fast, it was felt as if it was about to smash right through his chest. He fisted his hand in her hair at the nape of her neck and drew her head back. Before she could protest she was in the middle of the bed and he surged inside her, causing a low cry to escape her surprised lips.
He felt so hard and so big, she took deep breaths to calm her raging body. His lips closed over hers and he kissed her with a wild sensuality that became harder and more demanding with every sweep of his tongue inside her hot mouth.
Shannon pressed her hips into his and tightened her inner muscles around his shaft inside her. He growled and reared over her with his arms straight. Their eyes met and he pulled nearly all the way out. Her eyes narrowed, the nearer he came to her opening. Then he plunged back in, hard and deep and started to thrust, plundering her body with a need that burnt so deep, his soul was on fire.
Shannon panted with every forward plunge, feeling his big shaft rub over her g-spot, driving her crazy. The pressure inside her built so fast she gasped. She wrapped her legs around his waist and thrashed against his plunging body. Every cell in her body was suddenly on fire, her brain froze and she desperately pulled his head down to lock his lips with hers. Her climax exploded like a volcano erupting and she screamed into his mouth, her entire body stiffening and tightening around him. He slammed into her, desperate for the release of the pressure that gripped him so tight he could not breathe.
Her inner muscles tightened again and another scream exploded into his mouth. He plunged hard, once, twice and the third time his own shout was caught in her mouth. His balls tightened, his legs trembled and he slammed as deep as she could take him. Jarrod shook with the strength of his orgasm and closed his eyes when he felt his release shot from the back of his dick to find solace in her heated channel. He slumped on top of her, holding his weight on his elbows.
Their breathing was desperate, haggard and Shannon’s legs and arms remained wrapped around his back.
“Happy birthday, Babe.”
“God, Shannon. This was the best birthday present eve
r!”
“Oh, no. This was not your present.”
“It was not?”
“No. It was just a birthday wish.”
“You do know that I have a birthday at least once a week?”
She laughed and her core contracted with her laughter. Jarrod groaned and pressed his still semi hard dick deeper into her depths.
“As it is my birthday … I need a repeat of my birthday wish … right now.”
“Oh no, you don’t! I went through a lot of trouble to arrange this cookout party for you. We are getting up … shoo … up you get … and joining our guest. We’ve been away for … oh Lord, look at the time … far too long! Get up. Hurry … Jarrod! I need to take a quick shower!”
Jarrod chuckled at the bright blush that spread over her cheeks. He shook his head at her.
“Hmm hmmm, what will all my neighbors think of you hoggin’ me for yourself all this time! I too now need to shower again! Hurry up, woman, because if I join you in that shower we will not leave this room until the mornin’!”
Chris and Reed stood waiting for them when they joined the party. Of course, they had to voice their thoughts loud enough for everyone to hear.
“What took you so lon’, cuz? We’re on our second hotdo’ already!”
“It’s not my fault you gobble your food down so fast!”
Shannon’s cheeks were flaming from the knowing looks they shared with Jarrod. He hugged her and nuzzled her neck.
“Ignore them, doll face. They’re just sour because there are hardly any local beauties around. Might you have anythin’ to do with that?”
She rounded her eyes at him, pretending ignorance.
“Don’t let that innocent look fool you, buddy. I was threatened to the last of my days if I invited any of them.”
“Gmphf … this just makes me wonder if I was told another fib!”
“What are you talkin’ about, honey?”
“All I told your buddy was not to invite any of those women you had prior … arrangements … with. The fact that there are not one of the single woman from Brady here, … care to explain that to me, muscle man?”
