“Sure. Just call whenever you want me to meet you at the border. I’ll save you the trip. Need to get out of here anyway. I’ve been watching these damn cameras in control for almost eighteen hours now. Nothing. Not even rabbits fucking, to keep me entertained. Ain’t that some shit.”
Rogue laughed. “Things are going to be quiet until you get more cameras up. You need to get ahold of Knox and have them set up in Hidden Hills focused on Cass and Sunset Hills. I have a feeling if you get them up, you’d see more shit than you’d know what to do with. Hell, you’d probably see it coming right for Triple Z.” Rogue paused. “Actually, when you get them up, call me. I want to know what you’re seeing.”
“Sure thing. You all right, over there?”
“I’m fine. Just curious how deep Nikolas is in. Any information you can dig up would be much appreciated.”
Miguel laughed. “I got your back, bro. You know that. You’ve saved my ass more than I’m willing to admit to anyone. Call me when you want me to meet you, and I’ll return the favor, when I know something.”
“Sounds great.” Rogue hung up the phone and finished making his sandwich. As he looked up, he realized Zara was still looking at him.
“Can he do it?”
Rogue nodded. “Yeah. He’s gonna try his hardest. Would you like to go to the border and meet him with me? You and Cooper can both go. He wants me to call when I’m ready. We can do it after dinner if y’all want.”
“Sure.” She and Cooper nodded. Rogue picked up his lunch and sat at the table. Zara and Cooper began working their way around the kitchen and he watched them, in awe. The harmony they had, you’d think they were communicating in their heads. Neither one said a word, but where one left off with preparing the food, the other picked up. Within half an hour they were finished getting everything together. Rogue didn’t even realize he’d long ago finished eating and was still just watching them.
Cooper walked over to the fridge, taking out two beers. He turned, handing one to Rogue. The thought about how good it would taste to drink one had only barely registered and Cooper had already somehow known. Or maybe he’d just guessed. Either way, it made Rogue shake his head in astonishment.
“So what’s on the agenda, now?” Cooper sat at the table, placing his arms on the top. Both of his hands came together, and he began turning the bottle in a slow circle.
“I need to get some things out of the barn. Get set up for tonight.” Something wasn’t right with Cooper. Rogue studied him, trying to figure it out. “You can help me if you want.”
Cooper shrugged. “It’s not like I have anything else to do. I’d be happy to help.”
Bingo. His mate had become quite popular at Dark Days for his skill with horses. It was his job. Now he was pretty much jobless, and at the hands of an alpha he didn’t want to be under. It all hit Rogue pretty hard. They were both basically without work. Sure, he had money stashed. They could live off of it comfortably for a while, but what happened when it ran out? Damn. Suddenly, he was all too aware of where Cooper’s head was at.
“Let’s go.” Rogue stood and led the way to the barn. As he approached, he turned and faced his mate. “I know at some point we’ll be taking over Triple Z, but I have no idea how long it’ll be before that happens. And truthfully, even if I do take it over I have no intentions of living there. How would you feel about doing our own thing?”
“What do you mean?” Confusion took over his worried expression.
The surrounding land would definitely give them room. How much of it did Zara actually own, though? His eyes went back to Cooper. “This is our home now. Why not make this place an actual operating ranch. We’ll buy some horses. Good ones. You can breed and train them. We’ll get some cattle. Work our way to making something of ourselves. It might only be me, you, and Zara to begin with, but eventually, I think we’ll be able to take on more people. Plus, if I become the new alpha, between what we create, and Triple Z, I don’t see why we couldn’t make it.”
Cooper’s eyes were big. “Can we afford to do that right now? I mean, I have some money, but not what it would require for start-up. The kind of horses we’re talking are…well, more than what I got.”
“We can afford it. Things might be tight after we first get set up, but the dream is possible. It’ll take everything we have to make this place thrive, but I don’t fail at what I put my mind to. And I know you will give it everything you have too. Between the three of us, I think we can really make it work.”
“Wow.” Cooper shook his head. “I’ve always dreamed…but never imagined it was possible.”
“Anything is possible,” Rogue said, grabbing his hand. “Now, why don’t you go, I don’t know, make some calls. Or look up horses, or something. I can take care of this thing by myself.”
“Are you sure?” The excitement coming from his mate was contagious. “I mean, I can help and then—”
“Coop.”
“All right.” He pressed his lips into Rogue’s. “Thank you. Our ranch is going to be one of the best in Texas. I’ll make sure of it.”
Rogue laughed. “I believe it. Now go and tell Zara our plan. I’m sure she’ll get a kick out of it.”
Cooper kissed him again and rushed toward the house. Seeing his mate so happy was well worth the worries he had about the new business venture. But if there was one thing he was known for, it was taking a risk. And the way Rogue saw it, their survival and happiness was well worth any fears of the unknown. Their new ranch would thrive. He’d make sure of it.
Chapter 15
The disappointment was hard to contain as Rogue walked back into the house. He’d gone and taken the pictures to Miguel. For some reason Zara and Cooper said they’d stay behind. He didn’t understand it. They’d been so excited to go at first. Then…bam. It was a one-eighty. A part of him was hurt. It would have been nice to show them off to Miguel. But he would get over it. Maybe they could come when he went to pick them up.
The living room was empty as he walked in. He looked around, not hearing anything. The silence had him moving through each room faster. Calm was the key. Rogue closed his eyes and felt for them. They were definitely still here. A smile came to his face as realization dawned. He looked toward the basement door.
Good mates. Damn, they’d tricked him into thinking they didn’t want to go, when all along they planned on surprising him.
Rogue opened the door, noticing the light was already on. The moment he reached the bottom of the stairs, he froze. Both of his mates were nude, kneeling, just waiting for him. It blew him away. This was what he’d dreamed of when he thought of the perfect life. Now he was living it. The fact was surreal.
“So this is why you both wanted to stay. I have to admit, I was upset at first, but Sir is more than pleased. Look at me, both of you.”
Their heads slowly rose. The smell of their arousal was the sweetest aroma to the darkness surrounding them. Rogue had spent hours setting the room up like he’d wanted. He took out all of George’s stuff, and brought in his own. Now, the space was theirs.
Zara may have experienced delights in here before, but never by him, and never with his own dark pleasurable playground. She was going to have the time of her life. He was going to make sure of it. And Cooper. He was so new into this lifestyle. With the right breaking in he’d come to love it as much as he and Zara did.
“Cooper, stand and take your place against the cross.” Immediately, he obeyed. It was no secret that his mate had been waiting for this day since he’d discovered the St. Andrew’s cross in his old house. And Rogue was about to show him what it was all about. “Strap Cooper in, Zara. Then kneel before him.”
Hanging against the back wall were all of his toys. He looked between the flogger and the crop. Definitely the crop. He took it down and headed back toward them. Zara had already buckled the restraints, and was now kneeling in front of Cooper’s hard cock.
“I can tell you want to suck it. Do it, Zara. Show our mate how much you enjo
y tasting him.”
There was no hesitation on her end. Zara’s hand wrapped around the base of his cock and she ran her tongue over the tip. The moans poured from Cooper’s mouth, and he moved his hands against the restraints.
“You see, Cooper, you’re going to quickly realize that control is something you have very little of down here. You’ll want to touch, guide, or even increase your pleasure, but I won’t let you. I’m going to draw out the sensation until you’re begging me to give you what you so desperately want. And sometimes I may, and other times, I may not.
“Welcome to our wicked world, pet. The pleasure will come in a great abundance, but the admission is not free. The price is pain. And if I know what you harbor deep down inside, I’d say that’s a fee you’re all too willing to pay.”
Rogue brought the flat end of the crop down, hard, against his outer thigh. Cooper sucked in air and bit his lip. “Now answer Sir. Are you ready to hear the rules of our little game, or shall I let you off the cross?”
“I’ve waited months for this, Sir. No way am I stopping.”
A sense of completion filled Rogue. “Good. Since you’re completely new to this, we’ll start off easy for you. Zara, these words apply to you too, so listen up.” She paused from sucking his cock, but still faced forward. “Green means you’re good. Yellow, it’s becoming too intense for you. Red, I stop immediately. Nod if you understand.”
They both nodded. “Good. Back as you were, Zara. I want Cooper on the brink of coming. I’ll tell you when to stop. If you come, Cooper…” He trailed the crop over his chest. “You will pay.” Rogue brought the end down in quick successions across his chest and stomach with just enough power to make them sting.
Cooper’s breathing increased. His head turned from side to side. With the way he was flexing his fist, Rogue knew Zara was working magic with her mouth.
“Stroke him faster. Apply more suction.”
A sound came from Cooper’s throat. He was so fucking close that it made Rogue’s skin heat up with his own arousal. He walked over, grabbing the lube. “Zara. Stop for a moment.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Here.” She turned to face him and he handed over the bottle. “Suck his cock, slow, and finger his ass. You give him as much as he can take. I want him worked in good. My cock impatiently wants his ass, and I will have it soon.”
Cooper looked down. “I’m already ready for you, Sir. Zara’s been helping.”
The way Rogue’s mouth parted caught him off guard. He couldn’t help but feel shocked, though. “Explain.”
“I came across her toys, and she happened to have a new one. I asked her if she would break me in for you.”
“When?” They were with him all the time. It didn’t make sense.
Zara turned back to look at him. “We usually do it when you’re on your runs. Morning…and night. Cooper’s wanted you for a while now. I was all too willing to help.”
“I bet you were.” Rogue laughed. “Well then. Works in all of our favor, I guess.” He slapped Zara’s ass with the end of the crop. She squealed and jumped up higher on her knees. “Little minx. Back to what you were doing. Remember, slow, and use two fingers. I’m taking him tonight.” His eyes lifted to Cooper’s, and they connected for the briefest moment before his pet looked down. Oh yes, he’d have him in every way there was, now. And he couldn’t wait.
* * * *
Delicious heat against her ass had Zara sucking Cooper’s cock with all the passion she felt. The lube was slick between her fingers. She eased one into his ass and felt him relax against her thrust. When she felt he was good, she slid in another.
The sound of the crop had her heart racing. With her eyes either staring straight ahead, or closed, she wasn’t sure if it was going to connect with her or Cooper. So far it’d been Cooper, but she knew her time was coming. Rogue was just waiting until she put her guard down, and then he’d get her good. And she couldn’t wait. It was her favorite thing, and she knew he’d come to realize it. They’d had plenty of talks about this moment, and now that it was here, all of their senses were heightened with eagerness.
“Deeper, darlin’. I want his cock in your throat. And work those fingers faster.” Fire engulfed the right side of her ass. The pain made her clit twitch. She was so fucking wet and ready. She couldn’t wait to be touched.
The thickness of Cooper’s length went to the back of her throat. She relaxed the muscles completely, allowing him to enter deeper. At the same time, she continued to thrust into his ass.
“That’s a good girl.” Rogue’s hand wrapped in her hair. He began to guide her head. More, he pushed. Cooper made a sound that bordered on ecstasy and desperation.
“Sir.” His hips moved and Zara looked up to his face.
The crop connected against his stomach and Cooper began breathing heavier. “You’re not allowed to come yet, pet. Embrace the need, but do not give in to it. Let it build, and I promise you, you’ll experience the best orgasm of your life. And I want you to have it when I’m buried inside of you. Now focus.”
“I can’t,” he said, shaking his head. “It all feels too good.”
“Does it? I’m surprised to hear it. I figured you’d be calling yellow or red by now. I’m glad I was wrong.” Rogue came to the side of her and she saw him smile before she brought her attention back to Cooper. He paused and looked down. She quickly lowered her head, but not fast enough. She was pulled up, and he marched to the chair, sitting down. Hair swirled around her face as he tossed her over his knee.
The first spanking was a lot harder than she had prepared for. Her eyes flew open, and her head lifted. “You had easy orders, Zara. Suck Cooper’s cock and be a good submissive. Both, you were neglecting to do when I looked down.”
Fire raced against her skin again. She closed her eyes and went limp, enjoying the feeling. Rogue’s hand massaged the stinging skin, right before his fingers moved to her pussy. At the wetness he rubbed against her folds, she could feel him harden. He loved her soaking wet, and she was more than that now. Zara was positively drenched, and ready for some sort of penetration.
“You’re going to get one of those toys and watch Cooper suck my cock. You’re going to fuck yourself with it good, but you, too, are not allowed to come. I will not give you that gift yet. You disobeyed, and for that, you will be punished.” He gave her bottom one last spanking. It was harder than the rest compiled together. It actually brought tears to her eyes. “Now go pick one out and get on the bed.”
She looked toward the large king-size bed. Before Rogue had brought his stuff over, the space had been somewhat empty on the far side. Now the bed fit there, perfectly.
Zara stood and walked over to the toys he had standing along the bedside table. She knew they were all new. Rogue was never in short supply of anything when it came to toys involving sex. The dildos ranged in color and size. Some were thicker, and others were long. But there was only one that was both thick and long, and she grabbed that one. It was a good eight inches, from her guess. The others were only six or so. But this one was most like Rogue’s cock, and that’s exactly what she wanted.
The bed molded to her knees while she climbed onto the mattress. Did he want her on the pillows? More toward the end? Her eyes glanced up, just as Cooper stepped away from the cross. His body was red, whelped, and so arousing.
“Sir, where would you like me?”
“Directly in the middle. I want your legs spread wide so I can watch that fake cock going in and out of the tight, little pussy of yours.” Rogue crawled onto the bed and put lube on her toy. Well, she was pretty sure it wasn’t needed, but whatever. It’d slide in that much smoother now.
She obeyed and opened her legs as wide as she could stand. The cock eased into her and she moaned at the full feeling. Although it was meeting a need of hers, it wasn’t one of her mates. The heat or feel of their skin would have much been preferred, but at least for now she could pleasure herself while she waited for Cooper to take her.
“Suck my cock, pet, but keep your eyes on Zara.” Rogue was lying sideways. His head was even with her pussy. He faced her and pointed to the other side of him, for Cooper, which happened to be directly below her. That way, they’d both have a perfect view.
The fake cock eased out of her, and Zara pushed it back in. She moved her hips against it, taking it deeper with each thrust.
“Play with your clit. I want you peaked to the max when Cooper finally fucks you.”
The way Rogue talked always made her hot. Fuck, pussy, cock…whatever it was that he said, sent her over the top. His voice was deep. Seductive. And she loved it. She’d once talked to Cooper about it. He’d mentioned how their phone conversations turned him on. Well, now she knew why.
“Fuck yeah. Faster, Zara.”
Cooper’s head was moving up and down on Rogue’s cock. She glanced over and felt pleasure increase in her body.
“Don’t look away, darlin’. Watch him, like he’s watching you.”
The sight was sinfully delicious. It was the one thing that could probably make her come under a minute flat, if she wanted. There was something about her mates being intimate that gripped her core and tightened it until she was ready to explode.
She thrust the cock into her faster. Rogue moaned and reached over, gripping her inner thigh. The force with which his fingers bit into her skin almost made her orgasm on contact. She was going to have bruises for sure. And she loved it. For her, the more pain, the better. She wanted proof of their coupling. And Rogue was just the person to give it to her.
* * * *
Copper could feel Rogue swell in his hand. He’d been going for a few minutes now, and he really didn’t want to stop. With his mate’s essence filling his senses, and Zara glistening not far from his face, he couldn’t think of a better moment to have.
“Fuck.” Rogue took a deep breath. “Time to heat things up a bit. Remember that rope, pet? Reach in the top drawer and get it out.”
