Martine, Missy - Star Wishes (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Missy Martine

  “Don’t tell me to shut up. I had to keep records to make sure we’d remember where the children went. Technically, we’re responsible for them until they become adults. If the state came in and wanted to know where the children were, I had to be able to show them.”

  He laughed and took another drink. “And what about the letters we got asking for farmhands and women of comfort. Did you hang on to those as well?”

  Hannah swore softly. “Let’s not carry this argument further. We need to decide what to do now.”

  “We wouldn’t have a problem if you hadn’t reported that she’d stolen money or taken the kids. She obviously just wanted out and took your precious ledger as protection or she would have turned it over to the authorities before now. You’ve backed her into a corner and she’s no way to get out but take you down.”

  “It’s not just me she’ll take down, Mr. Estes. You’ll be coming down with me just as hard since you’re the one who delivered most of the children to their new owners.”

  Raymond threw the rest of his drink to the back of his throat. “So, we’ve got to get our hands on that journal, and make sure Miss Keevers isn’t able to tell her story to the judge.”

  “What are you going to do?”

  He poured himself another drink. “Whatever I have to.”

  Daniel grabbed the broom and began sweeping out the jail cell. He was worried that he’d hurt Abe’s feelings when he pulled the pistol on him. He hadn’t meant to make the man angry. He just wanted him to understand they weren’t willing to leave their home. He turned and glanced at the door when it opened. Mason Lockley, from the livery, walked in. “Hello, Mr. Lockley.” He stopped sweeping when he noticed the star pinned to Mason’s shirt. “You the new sheriff or something?”

  Mason pulled his hat off, and his eyes darted around the room. “Not exactly. I’m only acting as a deputy while Abe and Ike take Miss Sarah to St. Louis.”

  “What! They took Miss Sarah to St. Louis. When did this happen?”

  “They left two days ago and said they’d not be back for several weeks. I agreed to fill in since nothing much ever happens here.”

  “Do you know why they went to St. Louis?”

  “No, just that they had business there and it could take some time. They took the stage to Jefferson City and then the train back east.” He laughed. “It should be some trip. Abe told me if we had any emergencies to get word to him at the St. Louis Arms Hotel. My wife’s been to St. Louis and she said it’s a grand place, fit for kings.”

  “Thanks.” Daniel dropped his broom and headed toward the door.

  “Wait, aren’t you gonna clean up?”

  Daniel ignored him, jumped on his horse and turned him toward home. “They’re taking Sarah back because of that wanted poster. I can’t let her go to jail, not when I can prove she’s innocent.” The day they’d run away, he’d sneaked back in and took the ledger, along with the letters, and packed them in with his clothes. He’d even saved the lawyer’s papers Miss Rivers had torn up. He’d always known that someday he’d be the one to make things right. “I’ve got to get to the farm, get some cash from Rachel, and get my butt to St. Louis. I’m gonna save Sarah. Nobody is gonna break up my family now.”

  * * * *

  Sarah tightened the towel wrapped around her body and watched the fire shimmering in the fireplace. She’d soaked in the tub with Ike for over an hour, until the water had cooled drastically.

  “Don’t worry, love. Abe will be back soon.” Ike sat on the floor and leaned his head against her knees.

  “How did you know I was thinking about Abe?”

  “I know you. I love you, Sarah.”

  She ran her fingers through his freshly washed hair. “You do, do you?”

  He grabbed her hand and kissed her fingers. “Of course, and you love me.”

  She wanted to disagree with him, but she couldn’t because she really did love both of them. It sure wasn’t the normal, large family she’d always wished for. A brief knock sounded on the door and Abe came sauntering in. Ike leaned forward so Sarah could get up and rush to him. She took his hands into her own. “What happened?”

  He pulled her into his arms. “Not to worry, everything is gonna work out.”

  “Are they gonna take me away to jail?”

  “No, love, the sheriff agreed to let you stay here with us until we can talk with the judge on Friday.”

  Sarah sighed. “Friday, that’s so soon. We don’t have any more time than that?”

  Abe put his hands on both sides of her face and gazed into her eyes. “We’re gonna have a lifetime together and not just three days.”

  “What did the sheriff say?” asked Ike.

  Abe pulled off his coat. “He’s been suspicious of this Hannah Rivers all along.” He grinned. “He also knows you, Ike.”

  “Who’s the sheriff here?”

  “Man by the name of Robert Watson.”

  Ike was quiet for a moment. “Oh, yeah, I remember Robert. I met him when he was sheriff of a small town in Kentucky. Guess he’s moved up in the world if he’s sheriff here.” He looked at Sarah. “He’s a good, honest man, honey. He’ll watch out and make sure the truth comes out.”

  Sarah bit her lip and wished she could believe that. She turned her attention to Abe. “I’m sorry, but the bath water has grown cold.”

  He bent and kissed her lips. “No matter. It’ll still feel refreshing to get the dust off. Besides…” He started to pull off his clothes. “It can’t be any colder than that creek I take baths in at home from time to time.” He lowered himself into the soapy water and groaned. “It’s nowhere near as cold as the creek and it feels wonderful.” He grinned at Sarah. “Why don’t you grab that bar of soap and come over here and wash my back, darlin’?”

  Sarah laughed. “What is it with you West boys? You can’t wash your own backs.”

  “Now where would the fun be in that?” Abe playfully crooked his finger at her.

  Sarah walked over and knelt by the side of the tub. She picked up the bar of soap and began sliding it up and down the smooth, muscled texture of his back.

  Abe made a sound suspiciously like a cat, and dropped his chin to his chest. “Umm, that feels wonderful, darlin’.”

  “You come on over here when you finish with his back, honey. He can get his own front. I’m in some serious need of some cuddling.”

  Sarah looked over her shoulder and felt her face flush. Ike had stretched out on the bed, naked as a newborn babe, his cock jutting from the tangle of dark hair between his legs.

  Abe reached around and grabbed her arm. “You go on over, darlin’. I’m gonna soak for awhile and then I’ll be on over and we can all get in some cuddling before supper’s delivered.”

  Letting the soap slide into the water, Sarah rose and wiped her hand on the towel wrapped tightly around her body. She walked slowly toward Ike and stopped, her breath catching, when he jumped from the bed and grabbed her around the waist. He pushed her against the wall anchoring her wrists above her head with one of his hands. Reaching up, he cupped her cheek and brushed his thumb tenderly back and forth across her skin. “I’ve never seen anything more beautiful than you.”

  * * * *

  Ike reached for the top of her towel, tugging gently, allowing her only covering to slide silently to the floor. He let his gaze wander from her toes, slowly up her body, lingering on the soft pelt of hair between her thighs. Slowly, he stroked the tips of her breasts until the nipples pebbled. He had to bite back a groan when her small, pink tongue darted out to moisten her lips.

  “Woman, you excite me.” He licked around the edges of her lips and then opened his mouth over hers. When he parted her lips, she allowed his tongue to explore her mouth, tasting her deeply.

  Ike moved to her neck with his lips and nibbled at her throat. Sucking strongly, he left a mark that anyone could see. “Now you’re branded our woman,” he whispered. His mouth slanted over hers, opening her lips
wider, mating her tongue with his.

  Sarah moaned and arched her breasts against his chest, the points of her nipples digging firmly into his skin. When her fingers came up and tangled in his chest hairs, Ike felt his cock jerk. Roughly, he pulled her fingers away and kissed the tip of each one. He bent, swept Sarah into his arms, and deposited her gently on the bed.

  Before he could lie down, her hand stroked up and down his throbbing length. He trembled at the first tentative brush of her tongue over the head of his cock. His breath became caught in his throat when her tongue flicked out, tracing around the sensitive head. As she took more of him into her mouth and sucked harder, he grasped her head in both hands. “That’s it, honey. That feels so good.” He thrust his hips slowly. “I love the feel of your mouth.” Her mouth was a wet haven.

  Ike could feel his balls drawing up. He wanted to be lodged tight within her silky depths when he came, so he pulled away slowly. “Lay back, Sarah. I wanna taste you.” Sarah pulled his head down for a kiss, nibbling on his mouth until he opened for her. His tongue danced with hers as he pushed her onto her back on the bed.

  Nipping her shoulders, he laved the small bites to soothe while running his fingertips over the top of her full breasts. He cupped one rose-tipped mound and rolled her nipple under his thumb. She arched her back, filling his palm with her round, firm breast. Leaning forward, he took the dusky bud between his teeth. Carefully, he rolled the flesh, and then sucked rhythmically. Sarah groaned, her head pushed back into the pillow, her eyes closed.

  Ike moved his hand to the inside of her thigh and gently brushed between her legs with his knuckles. He shifted lower down her body, circling her tight nipple with his tongue. Using his knee, he pushed her legs wide apart and settled between her spread thighs. He smoothed a hand up her leg easing his way to her core.

  His fingers tangled in the curls between her legs before stroking over her puffy lips. One finger slipped down her drenched slit, penetrating her slick channel. Sarah cried out, her knees rising to grip him tightly about his hips. He teased her clit with his thumb, adding a second finger to stroke inside her pussy. She writhed on the bed, mumbling words he couldn’t understand.

  Ike replaced his fingers with his tongue, taking her clit into his mouth, pursing his lips around it and sucking. Sarah fell over the edge, moaning his name. He could feel her pussy contracting around his fingers. Slowly he withdrew, blowing on her clit and making her muscles clench.

  He moved up to nestle between her creamy thighs and with one thrust, sheathed his cock to the hilt in her pussy. “I love the feel of your body under mine.” The feel of her warm wetness closing around his shaft made Ike want to growl. “You’re killing me, Sarah.”

  Ike urged her to wrap her legs around his waist and then he let one hand trail down her body to where they were joined. “You were made for us, Sarah.”

  She locked her ankles behind his back and lifted her arms, looping them around his shoulders and spearing her fingers through his hair. “That goes both ways, Ike. You and Abe are meant for me.” She rotated her hips, her heels pressing into the base of his spine. “I’ve never felt anything like what you and Abe make me feel.”

  Ike moved his hand to her hip and then slowly inched downward to curve over her butt, pushing her body into his. He gritted his teeth and pumped his hips back and forth. “Damn, I’m not gonna last long.” He reached between their bodies and pressed against her clit. “I need you to come for me, honey.”

  From the corner of his eye, Ike saw Abe move to stand beside the bed. He bent and fastened his mouth around one, erect nipple.

  Ike continued to thrust, keeping his thumb pressed firmly against her clit. Suddenly, she stiffened, groaning out a guttural cry. He felt the spasms around his cock, and it was all he needed to send him to paradise. The tingling in his balls was the only warning he got before pleasure exploded across his body. He felt Sarah’s nails digging into his arms, but couldn’t feel any pain. Gradually, his breathing slowed and Sarah’s legs loosened and dropped to the bed.

  * * * *

  Sarah held her breath when Ike pulled from her body. He rolled to the side, taking her with him, cuddling her close against his chest. She felt the bed dip and then a hard ridge pressed against her back. Ike’s erection had not gone down so she had arousals poking her from the front and the back. This feels so strange.

  Ike leaned forward and kissed her. She felt his mouth, tasted its hard, moist crush, and her lips parted for him. He suckled hungrily on her lower lip, while fingers kneaded her nipples into hard peaks. Abe squeezed her already-hard nipple between his thumb and forefinger.

  Ike ended their kiss and smiled. “Turn over, Sarah, it’s Abe’s turn to make you fly.” He scooted back and climbed off the bed.

  Sarah turned over and faced Abe, his dark eyes full of fire. She moved closer and rubbed against him. “I love the way your hairy chest feels against my skin.”

  He grinned and ran his tongue over her bottom lip and then nibbled. His hand came up to fondle her breast, his thumb raking over the sensitive tip. “I need to be inside you,” he whispered into her mouth while his palm made contact with her bare thigh.

  She lowered her head and began licking the mineral saltiness of the bathwater from his shoulder. She could feel the hard length of his cock pressing against the inside of her thigh. Abe took her breast into his mouth, his tongue flicking over her nipple. She arched her back, feeling her breast sway with her movement.

  Abe raised his head and grinned. “I want something a little different.” He nudged her to her back and rubbed circles on her belly before his fingers moved to the valley between her legs. He stroked one finger into her core and teased her clit. She cried out, the sensuous feeling almost painful.

  Sarah squealed when Abe suddenly flipped her over, pressing her bottom against his crotch. He caressed her butt, massaging the cheeks soothingly. “Do you trust me, Sarah?”

  She swallowed hard and nodded. “Yes,” she said breathlessly, wriggling her butt against his erection. She stopped moving when he pressed the tip of one finger against her forbidden hole.

  “I wanna take you here, in your tight ass.”

  * * * *

  Abe ran his finger around the small, puckered opening and then froze when Sarah jerked her hips away. He leaned over her shoulder, and nibbled the side of her neck. “What’s wrong, love? Do you trust me? I won’t hurt you, I promise. If you don’t like it, all you have to do is say so and I’ll stop.”

  Sarah turned and looked over her shoulder, her teeth embedded in her bottom lip. “I trust you, Abe, I really do. I trust both of you.” Her teeth worked her lip again. “Will it hurt?”

  He raised a finger and pulled Sarah’s lip away from her teeth. “I won’t lie to you, darlin’. It’ll most likely sting a little at first, but if I go slow enough, the sting’ll turn to pleasure.” He leaned close and licked her tortured bottom lip. “Will you give it a try?”

  Sarah trembled, and then took a deep breath. “I’ll try. I know you won’t hurt me, Abe.”

  “I’ve got something to make things a little easier.” He turned to where Ike was watching from the armchair. “Look in the credenza drawer and bring me the dish.”

  Ike frowned and got up to do what Abe asked. When he opened the drawer, he chuckled. “Somebody planned ahead.” He walked over and handed the small plate to Abe.”

  “What is it?” asked Sarah.

  Abe laid it on the table beside the bed. “It’s the butter off our breakfast table this morning. I snatched it and brought it back to our room.”

  Sarah’s eyes widened. “What on earth for?”

  He leaned close and nuzzled her ear. “It’ll make things a lot less painful for you.” He kissed her neck and then moved back. “I need to prepare you. Get on your hands and knees for me.”

  * * * *

  Sarah slowly pulled to her knees and then gave a shriek of outrage when Abe slapped her ass. “What was that for?”

  �
��You’re moving too slow, woman. I’m about to burst here.” He looked down at the huge erection standing straight out from his thighs.

  She swallowed hard. That’s supposed to fit inside my butt! It’s gonna hurt. She took a deep breath and raised her ass in the air, resting her arms on the soft mattress. “Is this okay?”

  “It’s perfect.” His hands caressed over each globe and then pulled her cheeks apart. He blew gently, causing goose bumps to break out all over Sarah’s body. He brushed lightly over the sensitive opening with one finger, causing her to gasp and the muscles of her pussy to clench.

  Sarah turned her head and watched Abe use three fingers to scoop up some of the butter from the plate. “That’s gonna be messy.”

  “Shhh, you’re gonna ruin the moment.” He laughed.

  * * * *

  Abe took one finger and spread the butter around her opening. Slowly, he pressed the tip of his finger against the dark hole until it slipped past the outer muscle and into the heat of her body. When Sarah looked over her shoulder, he held her gaze and pulled his finger back, only to surge inside her body once more. “Are you all right?”

  She nodded. “It stings a little.”

  He added a second finger and felt her tense. “Still all right?”

  “I’m okay.”

  Gently, he added a third finger and heard her breath catch. “You’re doing great, Sarah. You feel so good.” Abe removed his fingers and thoroughly coated his cock with butter. He held on to her hips and probed between her ass cheeks with his cock. Finding her hole, he pushed forward slowly until he passed through the muscle. With several small, firm thrusts he slid into her, sheathing himself until their bodies met.

  Sarah’s head and shoulders jerked up. “It burns.”

  Abe ran his hand down her back, pressing a kiss against the back of her neck. “Tell me what else you’re feeling, Sarah?”

  “Full,” she gasped. “Really full like you’re stretching me out.”
