Tessa threaded her fingers into his hair, pulling him closer to brush her lips with his. “You have no idea how much I’ve wanted to hear you say something like that. How much I’ve dreamed about you being in my bed. Take your pants off. Let me taste you like I’ve always wanted to.”
Sam kissed her before standing, undoing his belt, then his pants, sliding them to the floor. His boxers quickly followed. Tessa climbed off the bed and went to her knees in front of him.
Sam couldn’t take his eyes off Tessa. She looked more beautiful now than she had an hour ago. Her hair was messy, her skin flush, and her lips puffy from his kisses. She took his breath away to the point he couldn’t even think. She was totally remarkable. She softly gripped his cock as she looked up into his eyes, rubbing her cheek against it, turning her face, and softly kissing him from root to tip. God, he could come already and she hadn’t even taken him into her mouth. He needed to get himself under control, think about anything other than what she was doing with her tongue, that wicked tongue that was licking up and down his length, flicking at the gland under the crown. Damn, she was doing amazing things with her mouth. Then she wrapped her lips around him and moaned. The vibration alone almost pushed him over.
“Damn, sugar, your mouth feels incredible.”
“You taste even better than I imagined,” she told him as she took him to the back of her throat and swallowed.
“Fuck!” Sam didn’t know how much longer he was going to last. She took him to the back of her throat and swallowed around him again, taking him all the way in, then, “Shit!” She licked his balls with his dick in her mouth. Never had any woman done that before. She pulled back looking at him, pulling off of him with a pop as she smiled and sucked his balls into her mouth, licking them, then taking him back into her mouth.
Tessa licked the taut head of his cock, and he moaned again. She could see the heated hunger in his eyes as she took him back into her mouth. She watched him as she sucked him to the back of her throat, loving the taste and the smell that was uniquely his. The look in his eyes changed to a raging inferno as she pumped him with her hand, sucking harder. She had never before felt so powerful, giving this man that she had loved and dreamed about for so long as much pleasure as he had given her earlier. She realized she craved the salty flavor of him as she continued to suck, swirling her tongue around his crown and sucking him deep again.
“Tessa, damn, baby, I’m gonna come, so good, just can’t hold back. Pull off if you don’t want it.” Sam couldn’t hold back any longer as he looked into her eyes and shot stream after stream of cum into her throat.
Tessa sucked harder, not letting him go as he exploded in her mouth. She swallowed every drop, licking him clean.
Sam could hardly stand, trying to catch his breath as Tessa finally pulled off of him and stood. She put her arms around him and he took her mouth, kissing her hard until they both had to stop and catch their breath.
“I want you, Sam.”
“God, sugar, I want you, too, and you will have me, but not yet.”
“I, I need—” Sam picked her up and put her on the bed, spreading her legs.
“Don’t worry, sugar, I’ll take care of you.” Sam gave her pussy a long, slow lick then lapped a few more times until he finally settled in and licked her clit as he pumped two fingers into her. “You’re so wet, Tess. Come for me, baby.”
Sam flicked his tongue over her clit as he stroked her faster. He felt her inner walls begin to tighten on his fingers and knew she was close. He sucked her clit into his mouth and she screamed as she came. Sam continued moving his fingers inside of her until the spasms stopped.
“Watching you come is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” Sam told her as he pulled her into his arms.
“That was amazing and fast. I knew I was close but damn,” Tessa told him, still trying to catch her breath.
“You’re amazing,” Sam told her and he tipped her chin up and looked into her eyes. “I love you, Tessa Rose Walker. I always have.”
Tessa’s eyes filled with tears, and they quickly spilled down her face. “I love you, too, Sam. It seems like I’ve loved you forever.”
Sam pulled the covers over them, holding her in his arms. She felt right, fit him perfectly. Sam was never one to cuddle or sleep over with a woman but with Tessa it was different. He could hold her forever. He felt at peace with her in his arms. “Let’s get some sleep, sugar. I love you.”
Tessa leaned up and kissed his lips. “I love you, too.”
Sam listened as Tessa’s breathing slowed and he knew she had fallen asleep. This felt so right being with her. What would he do if she left and went back to Seattle? He needed to convince her to stay here with him and his brothers. If not, he would give up everything and move to Seattle to be with her. He wasn’t ever going to lose her again.
Tessa sighed as she gave in to sleep fully. He had worn her out and she felt loved. Sam had said those three magic words that she had longed to hear for so long and she couldn’t ever remember being so happy.
* * * *
He watched as the light to her room went out. Another one of those boys was with her. Didn’t she understand what would happen if she continued to let those boys touch her? He thought the warning he gave her had made himself clear. Time to give her another warning. One she couldn’t so easily push aside.
Chapter 9
Sam went out to check his truck for damage while Tessa finished getting ready for work. He looked around the area and didn’t notice anything out of place, then walked around his truck. Not a mark on it. Hopefully that was a good sign that maybe this psycho was done messing with them. Sam walked back up on the porch as Tessa came out and he watched her as she locked the door. He took her hand, brushed a kiss on it, and led her to the truck. “Is your truck all right?” she asked and he could hear the worry in her voice.
“Yep, everything looks fine, sugar. No worries.”
As they drove into town, Tessa placed her hand on his thigh. He had never felt so complete in his life. As they rounded the corner to the pharmacy, they immediately saw a crowd gathered outside and Lucas’s police car.
“Oh no, Sam, what’s going on?”
As Sam parked his truck and helped her down, Brad approached them. “Brad, what happened?”
“Someone spray-painted the front of the pharmacy. Why don’t you take her back home, Sam, or out to your place until we get this cleaned up.”
“No, Brad, I want to see.”
“I don’t think that is a good idea, little girl. Just leave it be.”
Tessa knew that whatever was painted on the building had something to do with her. “Brad, look how many people are here. Don’t you think the entire town will know about this within the hour? I want to see, move.”
“Fine, but I don’t want you to get upset.” Sam took her hand as they walked around to the front of the pharmacy.
“Oh, Brad, I’m so sorry.” Tessa couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Words were spray-painted on the windows and the building. “Whore, slut, tramp, cunt, trash, used.” She mouthed the words as she read them. She turned and Brad wrapped his arms around her. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to cause the family any problems.”
“Shhhh, little girl. You didn’t do anything wrong. Some sick bastard has it in his head that he can control you with his actions. Don’t let him. He’s such a coward that he hasn’t even made himself known to you. This is not your fault, do you hear me?” he told her as he lifted her chin to look into his eyes.
“It is my fault, Brad. If I hadn’t got involved with Mitch, Rance, and Sam this never would have happened.”
“Tessa, with this guy it wouldn’t have mattered who you got involved with, he would have done the same thing. He is going to try and manipulate you until he gets what he wants. As soon as Lucas is done taking pictures, I’m gonna get this cleaned up. Henry stopped by and offered to help, shouldn’t take us too long.”
“We’ll help, too.” Tes
sa turned to see both Mitch and Rance as they walked up. “Come here, darlin’,” Mitch said as he wrapped his arms around her. “I’m sorry, baby, we’re gonna find out who this son of a bitch is so he can’t hurt you anymore.”
Mitch let her go and Rance pulled her to him. “It’s gonna be fine, baby girl. We aren’t going to let anything happen to you. We’ll have this cleaned up in no time. Lanni and Annie just pulled up. Why don’t you go with them and get a cup of coffee until we’re finished.”
Tessa turned to see her sister-in-law and her best friend walking toward her. “Oh, Tessa,” Lanni said as she hugged her. Everyone she loved and cared about was there to support her and check on her. Thank goodness her parents were still in Casper.
“I’m fine, just pissed. I’m sorry to have caused this whole mess. I should have just kept to myself and none of this would have happened.”
“Oh come on, Tessa! If you weren’t with them,” she said pointing to the Collins boys, “who knows what would happen. What if you had agreed to go out on a date with the asshole that is doing these things? What do you think he might have done to you? This isn’t your fault and you know it. “
“She’s right, little girl,” Brad said as he put his arm around his wife and kissed her forehead. “Either way you wouldn’t be able to control the situation. This fucker is gonna mess up big time soon and we’ll catch him, but in the meantime, I really don’t want you staying at the house alone. If one of them can’t be there with you, then you need to stay with us.”
“We’re not gonna let her be alone, Brad. One of us will always be with her,” Sam said.
Henry pulled up in his truck and approached the group. “I’ve got buckets and brushes and some heavy-duty cleaner that should remove the paint easily. Sorry about all this, Tessa. When I’m done here I’ll head over to your folks’ house and finish up on the locks. Sorry I didn’t get them all finished yesterday. I had to run an errand for Mr. Peterson.”
“Thanks, Henry, I appreciate your help.” She looked at Lanni and Annie. “Do you guys want to come inside with me? I’m not leaving.”
“Yeah, come on, Tessa,” Annie said as she put her arm around her and they headed to the front door.
Kathy was inside getting things ready when they walked in. “Oh Tessa, don’t you go worrying about any of this. It’s not your fault,” Kathy told her as she pulled her in for a hug. “Those boys will have everything cleaned up and back to normal in no time.”
“I know they will, but I don’t know about things going back to normal. I don’t even know what that is anymore.”
“Oh, honey, the important things in life aren’t worth having if you don’t work hard for them. You and your fellas are gonna be just fine. It’s not your fault some crazed man is causing all this mischief. You need to just worry about being happy and let them take care of you. I’m sure Lucas will figure this out soon and it will all be done with.”
“I hope you’re right. I should probably get to work. I can just imagine what my mom’s reaction is going to be to all this. Lanni, I don’t know if it’s a good idea for you to come over tonight or not. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
“Well, unless this guy thinks you swing both ways, we should be fine.” She smiled trying to lighten the mood. “Why don’t you come and stay at my place? You haven’t been over yet and my building is secure. We would be perfectly fine there.”
“That sounds great. I would still like to spend some time with Sophie, too, so maybe we could keep her for a couple hours and you and Brad could go out to dinner or something,” Tessa told Annie.
“That would be great! We could drop her off around six if that works for you? And Tessa, please don’t worry about Diane. She’s not living your life and you are old enough to make your own decisions. Parents don’t always like them but they learn to deal and adjust.”
“Thanks, Annie. I appreciate what you said but my mom is hard to deal with when it comes to me, but I’ll deal with her just like I always do. I’m off at five so that gives me time to go home, grab my stuff, and maybe stop and get takeout. I should be to Lanni’s about the same time you drop Sophie off.”
“Get your stuff for what?” Mitch asked.
Tessa hadn’t seen him come in from outside. “I’m going to stay at Lanni’s tonight and we are going to have some Sophie time.”
“That sounds like fun. One of us will be here to pick you up at five and run you home, then drop you off at Lanni’s. I’ll be by in the morning to pick you up and bring you to work.”
“Mitch, that’s not necessary. I can drive myself, although I will need a ride to my house to get a car.”
“No. Like I just said, one of us will be here to pick you up at five and drive you where you need to go until this guy is caught, and this isn’t open for discussion.”
“Now you wait one minute, Mitch Collins, we might be involved but you are not the boss of me!”
“Wanna make a bet, darling?”
“Sounds like I’m missing something here,” Brad stated as he joined in the conversation followed by Rance and Sam.
“I was making plans with Lanni when Mitch barged in thinking he can boss me around. Not happening.”
“What’s going on, bro?” Sam asked.
“Tessa is going to stay with Lanni tonight and they are going to have Sophie over for a while. I told her that one of us would pick her up at five to take her home so she could get her stuff then drop her off at Lanni’s. Then I explained that one of us will pick her up in the morning and take her to work. She wants to drive herself and I said no,” Mitch told everyone.
“I agree with Mitch,” both Rance and Sam said at the same time.
“I think that’s a good idea also, Tessa. I don’t think it’s safe for you to go anywhere by yourself right now. Lanni’s building has a great security system and I would feel better if you let one of them or me pick you up and drive you to Lanni’s,” Brad told her.
She looked at the four cowboys watching her, feeling totally ganged up on and surrounded, but she also felt loved and protected at the same time. “I guess I don’t have a choice here, do I?”
“You have a lot of people who care about you, Tessa. You’re not alone. You’re home now. We’re not trying to take your choices away or boss you around. We just want you safe. Let us help,” Brad told her as he wrapped an arm around her.
“I care about you all, too. I’m just used to taking care of myself. Look, I’ve gotta get to work. I will see someone at five, and Lanni, text me later and we will figure out dinner. I’m really looking forward to spending time with you and Sophie.”
“Me, too, Tess. I’ll text you later.”
Annie gave Tessa a hug telling her thanks again for taking Sophie for a couple hours and that she would see her tonight, then followed Brad and Lanni out the door.
“Don’t think you can get rid of us that easy, darling. I know that you aren’t too happy with me right now, but I’m just looking out for your own good. I told both Brad and your daddy that we wouldn’t let anything happen to you and that’s a promise I intend to keep no matter what,” Mitch told Tessa as he pulled her up against him. “Now, give me some sugar so we can get going.” Tessa didn’t even have a chance to reply as Mitch softly caressed her lips with his, sliding his tongue between her lips. She melted against him, wrapping her arms around his neck. She couldn’t resist him or his brothers even if she was mad.
Mitch stepped back and Rance took his place, then Sam. “Call us if you need us, angel,” Sam told her as they left.
Tessa walked to the back and tried to focus on her job, but knowing that someone was watching her, possibly following her, freaked her out. Several people throughout the day stopped by just to tell her that they had heard about what had happened and how sorry they were. She was surprised how supportive people were considering she was involved with three men. Maybe her relationship with the Collinses could work. Her day was almost over when Mary Beth walked in with Alice Spoone
r, another cheerleader from high school.
“So, Tessa, I hear that you had some excitement here today. Maybe that should be a warning for you to back off the Collins brothers,” Mary Beth told her.
“Mary Beth, is there something I can do for you? If not then I would appreciate it if you would just leave. I’m not getting into anything with you. We are ready to close and it’s been a long day.”
“Oh, I’ll leave when I’m damn good and ready, bitch. You listen to me and listen good. You weren’t good enough in high school to date men like the Collins boys and you sure as shit aren’t good enough now. Leave them to real women like us. We know how to take care of them. You just need to go back to wherever you’ve been hiding since high school and stay there. No one wants you here. That should be obvious by now. Don’t you think you’ve put those boys through enough? Poor Mitch having to get his truck fixed. They’re just taking pity on you and it’s so pathetic.”
“No, Mary Beth, I’ll tell you what’s pathetic, you trying to bully me thinking that it will open the door to the Collins brothers for you. They don’t want you. If they did you would have been with them before I ever came home. Now, if you don’t mind, we are closing.”
“How dare you call me pathetic, you bitch! I’m telling you right now, those men will be mine, that’s a promise! Why would they want someone like you when they can have this?” she told Tessa as she ran her hands over her body.
A deep voice spoke up behind Mary Beth. “Mary Beth, you never have and you never will have a chance with us. Tessa owns our hearts. She is the only woman that we want and that will never change. We’ve never wanted you. Sam admitted to me that he made one hell of a drunk decision when he took you home from the bar, but that won’t ever happen again. I don’t ever want to hear about you threatening my girl or coming in here again. You need to grow up and move on. Sam made it perfectly clear that he wasn’t interested and neither are the rest of us. He had one night of too much alcohol that caused him to end up with you and he has regretted it ever since. Now, it’s time for you to leave.”
