Chapter Ten
“I have to go into town.”
Caleb’s words at the otherwise quiet breakfast table a few months later were met with worried silence.
“Isn’t going to town getting a bit dangerous? I mean, the aliens could be coming any time now, right? I thought you told us to be wary of being caught out alone.” Jane voiced what most of them were thinking.
Caleb sighed and pushed back from the table. “I know. It is dangerous. But it has to be done. There’s someone I have to warn.”
“I thought the visions had started to ease?” Mick asked quietly, his breakfast forgotten in the face of his older brother’s quiet determination to put himself at risk.
“They have, but I need to do this.”
“Can’t one of us do it for you? I’ll go, Caleb,” Mick’s eyes were almost pleading.
Caleb looked at his youngest brother hard. “Come with me, Mick, but I have to see this through myself. Otherwise the message may not get to her.”
“Her?” Jane asked in surprise.
“Do you remember Una Johnson? The storekeeper’s wife?” Caleb reached over and took her hand between both of his.
“Damn, Caleb,” Justin spoke up for the first time. “Old man Johnson keeps her and their daughter under lock and key. How are you going to get a message to her?”
“I know. He’s managed to keep them safe this long, but he won’t be able to hold out against the aliens. Johnson knows us. I think he’ll listen to me.”
“All right then,” Justin said, standing and throwing his denim jacket around his broad shoulders. “I’ll cover you, Caleb. Let Mick stay here with Jane.”
Caleb met Justin’s eyes for a long moment. “No. You stay and guard Jane. Just in case my timing’s off. You have the best chance of keeping her safe if you come under attack. Mick and I can handle the trip into town.”
“Are you sure?” Justin’s eyes were steely and as serious as Jane had ever seen. Caleb nodded toward Mick, who also stood.
“Let’s go. The sooner we do this, the better chance we have.”
With a lingering kiss for Jane, Caleb joined Mick outside. The brothers made their way to the small town just down the mountain from their secluded valley on horseback. They made good time and didn’t talk much as they went, both fearing the arrival of aliens at every turn.
When they finally arrived in town, Bill Johnson was belligerent at first, but Caleb talked him around with a dire warning that seemed to take hold.
“My wife and daughter are none of your concern, O’Hara.”
“You’re right,” Caleb agreed with a rueful twist of his lips. “But they are yours to protect. I know you have some telekinesis, as does your wife. Do you know what my gift is?” Caleb waited a beat to see if the other man had heard the rumors about him. Precognition wasn’t a common gift and those who did have it usually weren’t as strong as Caleb. No, Caleb’s foresight was an incredibly powerful manifestation, rarest of the rare.
“I see the future, Bill. And I’ve come with a warning for you and your family.” Caleb took a folded piece of paper from his pocket and held it up before the other man. “There’s very little any of us can do about what’s coming, but for the sake of your wife and daughter, read this and make them read it too. I’m begging you, Bill. It could save their lives.”
Johnson stared hard Caleb, but eventually took the paper and pocketed it quietly. “Precog, huh? No wonder you knew when to come up here and bring your family. I’ve often wondered about what made you come north.”
Caleb straightened and nodded. “My vision of the cataclysm was the strongest I’ve ever had in my life. Until now. Read what I’ve written about what I saw for your womenfolk, Bill. And know that running now will only kill you all outright. You have to tough out what’s coming, but if you’re prepared, your wife may be the key to your salvation.”
Caleb knew Mick was listening to their conversation from over near the entrance and he sensed more than saw his brother perk up at his words to the other man. He knew he’d have questions to answer on the way home, but Bill surprised him by opening the stockroom door behind him and motioning his wife to come out of hiding.
“You heard, Una?” he asked his wife of twenty years with a tenderness that was shocking to the brothers who watched.
The older lady nodded, her eyes wide with fear. She turned to Caleb and grabbed his hand.
“Thank you for coming, Mr. O’Hara. Back when you first moved here, I knew your wife. She told me about your gift when the attacks started and I know she had complete faith in your visions. Thank you for coming here and sharing what you’ve seen with us, though I’m terrified of what may be coming.”
Caleb nodded solemnly. “Remember your roots, Una O’Mara. Be sure to tell the woman who’s coming your maiden name as soon as you can. Claim the protection of it for yourself and your family. It may stop her.”
“How did you know my maiden name?” Una whispered in scared wonder.
Caleb smiled as gently as he could, trying to put her at ease. “The woman will be pregnant. That’s how you’ll know her. There’s more in the note I wrote you. Details you should attend to as soon as you can. Time is short.”
The older woman clutched her husband’s arm. Her lips trembled, her eyes were wide and filled with tears as she faced Caleb.
“Bless you, Mr. O’Hara. Bless you for coming and for sharing your gift.”
Caleb nodded silently to the couple and strode for the door. Mick followed him out waiting until they were well out of town before breaking the silence.
“So Bill Johnson’s wife was born an O’Mara? And the alien scientist that’s coming, who just happens to be pregnant with Justin’s baby is named Mara. Isn’t that a bit of a coincidence?”
Caleb shook his head slowly from side to side. “I don’t believe in coincidence.”
Word came down a few days later that the aliens had come to the Waste. Mick intercepted wild cries for help from the few strong telepaths in the village and was able to learn the aliens had the area surrounded. No one was getting out. At least not alive.
They were taking prisoners and shipping them off to the alien city. At least that’s where the few who could communicate with Mick thought the prisoners were being taken. Surprisingly, the aliens were being careful not to kill anyone unless provoked, which was quite a switch from their behavior since coming to Earth. Still, they had little compassion and no understanding of what it meant to tear families apart.
They took women away from their mates and put them in with other males, countenancing rape and even encouraging it, or so it seemed. Mick was aghast at the scenes described to him and his emotions boiled each time one of the village telepaths saw fit to update him.
They reached out for news and comfort. Mick hadn’t known them well, but had a nodding acquaintance with most of the villagers from his infrequent trips into town. Still, it seemed like the O’Hara ranch was the only place free of the alien presence. At least in that, Mara had kept her pledge.
But the things Mick learned from the villagers made him sick.
Jane found him in his office one afternoon, tears in his eyes as he was told about the repeated, public rape of a woman who had been married to the town’s barber. Daniel had kept her hidden, but the aliens found her and separated the long-married couple. They put her in a holding pen with twelve single men who hadn’t seen a female since before the cataclysm and carefully noted the results like some sort of freakish scientific study.
“Mick?” Jane came up beside him, slipping her arms around his waist and leaning her head on his broad shoulders. “Is it bad?”
Mick turned and swept her into his arms, pulling her close, burying his hot face in her neck. “It’s bad, darling. So bad.”
“Tell me what I can do.” She stroked his golden hair, seeking to comfort the ache in his heart.
“Just having you near helps, Janie. You are so precious to me.”
She reached between them
and unfastened the buttons to his shirt, knowing he needed more distraction, more distance from the thoughts that were plaguing him.
“I need you, Mick.” She dropped to her knees in front of him, undressing him as she went. She was awkward with her big tummy, and though Mick tried to stop her, she would not be denied. With gentle hands she stroked him. Mick was already semi-hard from holding her and now he came fully erect, his cock hardening in her hands as she leaned forward to kiss him and suck him inside her warm mouth. She took him deep, swirling her tongue along the veins and curves, smiling as he gasped.
“Just like that, Jane.” He closed his eyes in pleasure as she worked her magic on him.
Neither heard the door open, but both pairs of eyes shot open when Caleb started laughing.
“And here I thought you’d be suffering at the news from town. I should’ve known our Janie would comfort you.” Caleb took off his work gloves and jacket as he moved behind her, supporting her body against his while she continued to suck on Mick’s cock.
Justin was there too, clearing off the examining table in Mick’s laboratory, spreading a blanket over the cool surface while he stripped off his shirt.
“Bring her over here, Mick. The tile floor is too rough on her knees.” Justin watched with heat in his eyes as Caleb lifted her away from Mick and brought her to the table in his arms.
He wasted no time removing her stretchy pants while Mick moved up by her head to take off her top. She turned her head to the side and reached out with one hand to recapture Mick’s cock, pulling him back to her. She hummed in pleasure as he gave in and pushed his length back into the warm cave of her mouth, looking helplessly at his brothers.
He sent a mental burst to them to help him out. At this rate he’d come way before Jane could be pleasured and he’d learned to be very careful of her. As empathic as she was, especially with her pregnancy adding all kinds of hormones to the mix of her volatile gift, he didn’t want to hurt her—physically, mentally or emotionally.
Justin sat in Mick’s office chair and rolled over to position himself between Jane’s spread legs. He ran his hands under her butt cheeks, pulling her down on the table until she was at the edge. Mick groaned as he followed the clasp of her moving mouth with his cock and Caleb smiled at his predicament.
“I’ve always wanted to play doctor,” Justin said from his seat, right at pussy level. He eyed her dripping folds with pure appreciation as he used his fingers to spread her wider. Caleb helped out by taking one of her legs and looping the knee over his arm as he stood by her side. Mick followed suit and held her other leg, spreading her wide for Justin’s perusal.
“My, my. What do we have here?” Justin said with a false leer as he examined her folds. “I think I’ll have to use the probe.”
He thrust slowly inside her passage with one long finger, leaning down at the same time to lick her clit. He licked her and stroked inside as Mick fucked her mouth and Caleb bent to her breasts, pinching one nipple with his free hand while sucking the other.
Jane was nearly in orbit with the attentions of all three men. They’d been so careful of her since she’d begun to show her pregnancy, but she loved every minute of their sex play, as gentle as it was now or as raw as it had been in the short time before she was visibly pregnant.
Caleb’s warm mouth teased her nipples, sucking and pulling with just the right pressure and making her pussy even wetter, while Justin licked her clit. His fingers were doing something wild inside her, curving and corkscrewing, making her squirm while Mick’s cock pulsed against her tongue, almost ready to explode.
She wanted him to explode too. She would have sucked him off without any pleasure for herself, so concerned was she about his emotional state. She knew he wasn’t thinking about anything but her lips on his cock right now, and how that made him feel. She was content her distraction had worked and even happier that all three brothers joined in putting their collective troubles away for just a little while.
Mick neared the point of no return and he tried to pull away, but she refused to let him. Her hand settled on his ass, pulling him closer even as he made the token gesture of pulling away. She knew from past experience that he loved it when she swallowed his cum and she wanted every last salty-sweet drop.
She hollowed her cheeks, sucking harder, gazing up at him. A second later, she felt him explode like a rocket deep in her mouth. She swallowed hard as he pulsed, streams of his cum soaking her and making her heart sing.
“Jeez, Jane!” Mick bent over, climaxing hard, his muscles trembling, his heart exploding with love that flooded her empathic senses. “Fuck!”
Caleb stood, watching over them, his own cock expanding behind his jeans as he teased Jane’s pink nipples. It made him hotter than hell to watch his brothers being pleasured by his wife and vice versa.
She was so loving and so giving. It amazed him every time he saw her with one of his brothers that she was so willing to please them all. He’d asked her to do it as a way to keep them all safe from the alien threat, but damn if it didn’t turn him on as well. He’d never been very kinky before the cataclysm, except maybe for a small dominant streak he tried to temper with Jane. Hell, he’d never had time away from the demands of raising his brothers and running the ranch to ever really explore the bounds of his sexuality, but he was learning fast that he liked to watch. Even more, he liked to watch Jane as she found fulfillment and know it was his brothers who gave it to her.
As Mick’s cock slid from Jane’s hot mouth, Caleb watched with avarice. He wanted to feel the heat and swirl of her tongue, and envied Mick the release she’d just given him. He knew the same would be waiting for him, if he just asked. They’d been careful of her since she started showing her pregnancy and the brothers had quietly agreed among themselves to ease off the vaginal sex a bit. Each of the brothers was good to go at least three or four times a night, but Caleb worried Jane’s ripening body probably wasn’t made to handle the kind of loving three able-bodied O’Hara brothers could dish out.
Caleb watched Mick ease back, enjoying the last caresses of Jane’s hands as he sat for a moment to recover. Justin still had his head between her legs and she was squirming nicely, while Caleb’s hand toyed with her nipples. Caleb was watching Justin’s mouth close around her clit and suck hard when he felt her hand on the fly of his jeans. His gaze flashed to hers and he was enchanted by her smile.
“Are you sure you’re up to this, Jane?” Her comfort was always his first priority.
She leaned up on one elbow and he moved quickly to help support her back. She put her hand around his neck and brought his face down for a kiss and Caleb felt his heart stutter and speed up. He loved the taste of her and the idea of what she had been doing to his brother just a moment ago. What’s more, Jane knew he liked it and she bedeviled him every time. She smiled as she pulled back.
“I want you, Caleb. Come in my mouth, at least for a bit, okay?”
Caleb eased her back on the table, his hands caressing every inch of skin they touched with love. “How can I resist an invitation like that?”
He lowered his zipper the rest of the way and slid his cock and balls out as he eased the worn denim and white cotton briefs down just enough to give her full access. He sucked in a breath as her hands found him and caressed him before she brought him to her mouth.
He took over then, sliding in and out, holding her head the way he liked as she let him control the penetration. It was an act of trust that she’d learned when they first married and it never ceased to please him.
“You ready for a little double penetration, Jane?” Justin asked from between her legs, his words sending puffs of hot air over her clit as she moaned around Caleb’s cock. Caleb liked it and pushed deeper, watching as Justin stood and positioned himself at Jane’s opening. Justin held both of her thighs in his hands, pushing her knees up and out enough to admit him, spreading her wide as he watched the progress of their joining.
Mick moved to stand at his should
er, watching while he pumped himself. He’d quickly recovered from his first release and looked ready for more.
Justin turned his head to the side when he was seated fully within Jane and jerked his chin at Mick.
“Go suck her titties. Maybe she’ll give you some hand action if you’re nice.” Justin laughed teasingly as he began thrusting, slow and easy, in and out of Jane’s tight core. Caleb too was thrusting in the hot cavern of her mouth, getting off on the sight of the brothers pleasuring her.
Mick closed his perfect white teeth over the tight tip of her breast, startling Caleb. He never used his teeth on Jane, but she seemed to like it, so he filed his objection away for later discussion. He was learning a lot about what she liked and what she didn’t like as his brothers expanded both of their realms of sexual knowledge and experience. And he was learning there wasn’t a whole lot she didn’t like. His Janie was a wild woman, and damn if he didn’t love it.
Caleb saw her reach out to Mick. She fisted her hand around him and squeezed, rubbing up and down as Mick groaned and pulled away for a moment. When he returned, he had a bottle in his hand and he opened Jane’s palm and squeezed a dollop of lubricant in her palm, spreading it around with his fingers. Together, they massaged his dick, making it shine with lubricant.
After a few strokes, Mick’s hand fell away and Jane was free to increase the tempo and length of her motions. She never moved her head from Caleb’s hold and he marveled at how she was able to take on all three men without losing track of herself in pleasure. Caleb stroked just a little deeper, pleased when she moaned around his cock.
“I’m coming, love,” he warned. “I’m coming now.”
She purred when he filled her mouth with cum, swallowing it down as she orgasmed around Justin’s invading cock and her hand tightened on Mick. Caleb pulled away moments later, after she’d swallowed every drop.
