“Where’s Suzanna?” Colton asked the horse as it ran past him. The terrified animal obviously had no answer for him. Shaking his head, Colton spurred his own horse onward even faster. Suddenly, the sound of a gun being fired pierced the air and he guided his horse over the hill just in time to see her.
There was Suzanna with a rifle butted against her shoulder and her hands on the trigger. Smoke rose from the freshly-fired barrel and the mountain lion lay dead in the grass, just three feet from where she stood. It looked like it had been in mid-pounce when it died.
Colton leapt from his horse and took Suzanna into his arms, holding her tightly to him. Suzanna melted into his chest, letting him hold her until her trembling eased and the pounding of her heart slowed.
“My God, that thing nearly killed you! Suzanna, are you all right?” Colton asked with true concern. He caressed her check with his hands, guiding her face to look up at him.
“I’m okay.” Suzanna said, her voice still sounding tremulous. “Lucky Penny started acting like she smelled a predator so I grabbed my rifle. Then, out of nowhere, she threw me and ran off. I screamed as I hit the earth, but I managed to keep hold of my gun. I knew something really bad must be out there for her to bolt like that and sure enough, that mountain lion started stalking me. I knew I’d only have one shot at it, so I’d better make it count!”
“You sure did! You nailed it right between the eyes. I’m proud of you!” Colton said, looking deep into eyes with all the love and admiration he felt in his heart. Unable to stop himself, he bent forward and kissed her on the lips. They were soft and sweet, just like he knew they’d be. She parted her lips for him, allowing his tongue access into her mouth, and they drank each other in, hungrily. Hot, wet, and insistently, they kissed with all the love and passion they’d felt for each other all these months but had to keep hidden. There was no point in hiding it anymore. Life was too short, as they had both realized in that moment.
When at last they pulled themselves apart from each other’s embrace, Colton saw that Suzanna was beaming with happiness. She brushed the loose tendrils of hair that had escaped her braid back behind her ear and said softly, “I thought you’d be mad at me for coming out here all alone.”
“Oh, I’m mad at you, too.” Colton said, but there was humor dancing in his eyes as he said it. The look of relief in his face made it clear that he was just happy she had survived the cougar attack. He said, “I should take your father up on his advice and hog tie you for running off the way you did.”
“I thought you’d said the punishment would be a spanking,” Suzanna said teasingly, her voice thick with arousal.
“We could do both.” Colton said, arching his eyebrow playfully, then he swept her into his arms and carried her over the hill to the shady valley below.
Chapter Three
A soft moan of pleasure escaped Suzanna’s lips as Colton kissed his way down her neck to her chest. They were completely alone in the valley, shaded by giant trees and shielded by the tall grasses. It was the perfect place to let lose their passion for each other before returning home to tell everyone about the cougar.
Colton’s thick fingers fumbled clumsily with the delicate buttons of Suzanna’s white blouse and she helped him by simply pulling it off over her head.
She hadn’t worn a bra that day; her young breasts were firm despite being so large, and she preferred to go without one. She smiled as Colton sucked in his breath in admiration at the beauty of her naked flesh.
“You are more beautiful than a Montana sunset,” he whistled. He cupped them in his hands, feeling the weight of them, and gently squeezed and massaged them. Then he brought his lips to them, kissing every inch of them while his thumbs rubbed against her nipples, making them harden with arousal.
“I want you to make love to me,” Suzanna whispered as she ran her fingers through his hair, holding his head to her bosom for fear he might stop.
“We can’t,” Colton said in a harsh whisper. “It would be wrong.”
Suzanna reached down and found the zipper of his well-worn jeans and pulled it open. Colton’s erection sprang free, and she knelt down in the grass and rubbed it against her cheek affectionately. Colton groaned with pleasure as she delicately touched her lips to his throbbing member and kissed the length of him. When she came to the tip, she opened her mouth wide as if to take him in, but it was just a tease and instead she pleasured him with her tongue, licking every inch of him instead.
“Will you make love to me now?” she taunted.
“We can’t,” Colton insisted. “It’s forbidden. Get dressed, I’m taking you home.”
Suzanna took his erection fully into her mouth then, making loud moans of pleasure escape his lips. She massaged his balls as she sucked, hoping to make him climax. Colton realized too late what was about to happen, and despite his best efforts, he lost control.
His body shuttered violently as his orgasm rocked through him. When it had finished, Suzanna smiled with satisfaction, pleased that her lips had been enough to bring him to climax.
“You are a very naughty girl!” Colton admonished, but that only made her grin wider. Unable to resist her playfulness, Colton shook his finger at her and said with mock displeasure, “You ran away from the house, left the safety of the fence, took off your blouse, and now you’ve made me climax. You are very naughty girl, indeed.”
“Does this mean you’re going to punish me now?” Suzanna said, her eyes dancing with delight. Clearly, she wanted him to. Colton saw no reason not to participate in the game she was asking him to play. After all, she deserved some sexual pleasure after the incredible orgasm she had already given him.
“I’m going to punish you for your disobedience, young lady, and give you a lesson you won’t forget,” Colton said. He tried to make his voice sound harsh, but it was hard to do with the laughter and delight sparkling in both their eyes.
Colton looked around for a good way to carry out the game. The giant shade tree above them seemed like the best choice. A very low-hanging branch stuck out horizontally from the trunk a few feet above their heads. Colton grabbed a length of rope from his saddle pack and looped it over the branch.
“Come here.” Colton ordered Suzanna and willingly she came and stood beneath the branch. “Give me your hands.”
Suzanna happily complied and Colton bound her wrists together with the rope, being careful not to bind them too tight. He pulled the rope, raising her hands high above her head, and secured them there with a knot. Next, he took her cotton blouse and tied it over her eyes like a blindfold. Suzanna was now completely at his mercy, unable to see or move. The thought of it made them both aroused with passion.
Still, Colton was worried about the woman he loved. In a gentle voice, he made sure that she liked the game and wanted to keep going. She assured him that she’d been fantasizing about doing this very thing for a long time. They created a safe word, “red light”. If ever Suzanna wanted to end the bondage game, she would say “red light”, and Colton would immediately stop. With as much fun as they were having right now, they both knew they would never need the safe word, but it was always good to have precautions.
With the rules of the game properly set, they continued to play. Colton admired his captive’s body; her long braid hung down her bare back. The blindfold covered her eyes and her naked breasts were held high by her up stretched arms. The only clothing on her body was her tight jeans, which accentuated her round, firm buttocks. Colton smiled and said, “I’m going to punish you now, for being naughty. Are you ready?”
“Yes.” Suzanna answered honestly. She could feel her entire body tingling in anticipation, wondering what he would do to her. Suddenly, she felt a firm slap on her buttocks that made her yelp in surprise and pain. It was followed by another and then another. Colton was spanking her with firm slaps of his palm. It radiated through her body, making her shiver with sexual excitement. Her panties became wet with the juices of her arousal and her nipples puckered.
“Are you going to be good girl from now on?” he asked, as his palm came down against her round buttocks, causing it to vibrate deliciously.
“Yes!” she cried out, delighting in the painful pleasure she felt radiating through her body.
“When you address me, call me Sir!” he commanded, bringing his hand down again, and then again.
“Yes, Sir!” she cried out.
Colton’s palm began to throb and he knew she’d had enough punishment. The game was meant to be erotic and fun; he didn’t want to overdo things and actually hurt her.
He ceased spanking her and gently massaged her round buttocks, soothing away the pain. Then, he unbuttoned her jeans and slowly pulled them down her legs. Eagerly, she stepped out of them, helping him to undress her. She stood with her arms stretched high above her head, tied to the tree branch, wearing nothing now but her cotton underwear, soaked with her juices.
Colton pulled them off too and Suzanna drew in her breath, hoping he would make love to her now. She had known for many months that he was the man she wanted to give her virginity to and now was the moment she wanted that to happen.
“Spread your legs apart. Wider.” Colton commanded and Suzanna willingly obeyed.
With the blindfold keeping her darkness, she wondered what he would do next and gasped in surprise and pleasure when she felt his tongue upon her most intimate folds. He made love to her there with his lips, tongue, and fingers, introducing her to pleasures she’d only known by her own hand before that moment. Whenever she had masturbated, she always fantasized that she was making love to Colton. Now, that dream was finally coming true.
Colton had fantasized about this moment too, ever since she’d become a woman at the age of eighteen. As he pleasured her with his mouth and fingers, he found she was even more delicious than he had imagined and devoted himself to the task whole-heartedly. It was an easy chore, for Suzanna was so aroused by the spanking that she neared orgasm quickly.
“I’m going to climax!” she gasped between ragged breaths. She’d given herself orgasms alone in her bedroom, but they were nothing like this. Having an orgasm with Colton was something far more intense and much more wonderful.
Abruptly, Colton withdrew his fingers and he said harshly, “No, don’t climax until I give you permission!”
“Yes, Sir,” Suzanna said, not knowing how she could possibly stop herself.
Colton resumed making love to her with his fingers and mouth, stopping periodically to let her catch her breath and saying, “Don’t climax yet. I’ll tell you when.”
Soon, Suzanna was whimpering with desire and begging him. “Please, Sir. Please let me climax.”
Her entire body was vibrating with sexual energy and ready to explode in orgasm. Colton untied the rope that bound her wrists and pulled the blindfold from her eyes. She blinked, regaining her vision, and saw that he had grown another erection. Colton lay on his back in the tall grass and said to her, “Okay, you’ve been a good girl. You may have your reward now. Orgasm for me.”
With uncontrolled passion, Suzanna leaped upon him, knocking him to the ground. He entered her gently, easily pushing past her natural barrier, because of her high level of arousal. He thrust softly, not wanting to hurt the young virgin, but he had prepared her so well for the moment that she felt no pain and only wanted to achieve her orgasm.
She bucked wildly beneath him, releasing all the passion she’d been forced to contain when he had her bound. Her orgasm came quickly and powerfully, and she clawed at his back as she cried out in ecstasy. It was the most incredible moment of her life and she reveled in it.
Colton wanted to make love to her slowly, but her passion was hard to resist and as she climaxed beneath him, he finally let himself go and thrust with his full force. He groaned with pleasure as he spilled his seed inside her. Finally, he rolled off of her, to lie beside her in the grass, both of the breathless and grinning widely.
“Now let that be a lesson, young lady,” Colton teased, wagging a finger at her in mock admonishment.
Suzanna couldn’t help be smile at him. She said, “I think I’m going to have to be naughty a lot more often, so long as you’ll do that to me again.”
Colton took her into his arms and kissed her, saying, “I’ll do anything to you that you want me to. You may have played the submissive in our little game just now, but in truth, I’m the one who’s wrapped around your finger. I love you and I’d do anything in the world for you.”
“I know you would,” Suzanna said softly, with tears of joy in her eyes. “That’s why you’re the only one I ever wanted to play this game with. I love you, too.”
They moved toward each other to kiss again, when suddenly Colton’s horse whinnied from where they’d left it tied to a tree atop the hill. The sound brought them both back to reality. Further games would have to wait until another time. Right now, they had more urgent matters to tend to.
Chapter Four
As Suzanna pulled her clothes back on, Colton repacked the rope into his saddle bag and looked up into the afternoon sky.
“The sun looks to be at high noon. We’d better notify the Bureau of Wildlife that you were attacked by a cougar and had to shoot it.”
Suzanna nodded in agreement. She walked up the hill to get one final look at the deceased creature. It was a beautiful animal, with soft tan fur and a strong muscular build. She guessed correctly that it must weigh about 120 pounds. If she hadn’t fired her rifle when she had, it would have latched onto her neck and killed her within seconds. She knew she had no choice but to shoot it, but something troubled her about the whole incident.
“Mountain lions don’t usually attack humans, do they?” she asked Colton, as he checked his horse and made sure it was ready to ride.
“No, it’s pretty rare, but it does happen on occasion,” he said. Suzanna noticed the animal had a deep cut on its front paw, as if it had escaped a trap of some sort, and pointed it out to Colton. He shrugged and said, “A brush with poachers would certainly have made the animal fearful of humans. If there are poachers in the area, that’s all the more reason to get home. Now come on; saddle up!”
Colton patted the saddle on the back on his horse, indicating for Suzanna to mount the animal so they could go home. She ignored him and looked harder at the beautiful cougar lying deceased in the grass. The thought of poachers senselessly killing animals for greed sickened and infuriated her. Then something caught her attention that she hadn’t noticed before and her hands covered her mouth, stifling a gasp.
“Oh my God! It’s a female and its teats are engorged!” She cried out to Colton.
He understood the implications immediately and said “That means she’s a mother and she’s nursing her cubs. Come on, they’ve got to be nearby! Maybe we can find them!”
They climbed onto the back of his horse together with Suzanna in front holding her rifle, and Colton behind her, holding the reins. He set the horse on a very slow walk, carefully checking for any sign of the orphaned cubs.
“Cougars can have up to six cubs in a litter, but typically they only have two.” Colton said to Suzanna as they searched. They’d been at it for hours and the sun was starting to get lower in the sky. He said, “Their mother won’t have traveled very far from away them to hunt. We’d better call it quits and head home now.”
“Look! There!” Suzanna pointed excitedly then let her hand fall. Shaking her head in disappointment she said ,“Never mind, that’s just a dust-colored rock.”
Colton chuckled and said, “The cubs aren’t going to be the same tan color as their mother. Mountain lion cubs are born with black spots all over their bodies for camouflage and lose them as they grow up. Since their mother is still nursing, we can assume these cubs are probably less than six months old and will still be covered with spots.”
“I knew that,” Suzanna said and leaned back against him, so she could kiss him. His left hand gripped her waist and she guided it upward to touch her breast. Suddenly, Suz
anna felt something poking her from behind and knew she had given him another erection. It made her smile to know she had that kind of power over him. Acting coy, she said innocently, “So how do we find the cubs if their camouflaged to blend into their environment?”
Shifting uncomfortably, Colton said, “The mother will have formed a den, probably in a cave or rock alcove. She’ll have lined it with dry grass to provide warmth for them. We’ve already searched the nearby rock formations.”
Suzanna reached back and massaged his erection through his jeans and said, “I’ve found a rock-hard formation right here. Perhaps I should investigate it.”
Colton grabbed her hand and said, “Not now, naughty girl. I already gave you pleasure for the day. Now, we’ve got to get home before the sun sets.”
As much as Suzanna wanted to play, she knew he was right. They’d been searching all afternoon and the sun was already getting low in the sky. Submissively, she lowered her eyes and said, “Yes, Sir.”
“That’s a good girl,” Colton smiled and kissed her neck as a reward. It sent tingles of pleasure shivering down her spine and she giggled in delight.
“Oh, maybe being a good girl is just as fun as being a bad one,” she joked.
“Maybe,” Colton taunted. “Keep being good and you’ll find out.”
“Yes Sir,” she replied and Colton rewarded her again with a new round of kisses along her neck that ended with him nibbling on her ear. Then he suddenly stopped, jerked his head up, and pulled the horse to a halt.
“Do you hear that?” he asked her, cocking his head and peering into the distance.
“What? Do you hear the cubs?” Suzanna asked excitedly.
“No, it’s running water,” Colton said, and instantly Suzanna’s eyes lit up, too. They rode the horse toward the sound until they came upon a small stream, rushing merrily along the valley. Eagerly, Suzanna dismounted the horse and splashed the cold water on her hot cheeks to cool herself. Then she cupped her hands and drank heavily. When at last she’d slaked her thirst, she smacked her lips happily.
