Burn (Missoula Smokejumpers Book 2)

by Stone, Piper

  “Oh, yes, sir.” Her eyes never leaving him, she tugged off her boots, kicking them aside, then danced her fingers up from her knees and along the inside of her legs, cooing as she reached her groin .

  He let out a long breath and fought the inner man who wanted nothing more than to devour her. She had to come to him. His way. The thought was riveting .

  Shannon slowly unfastened her jeans, unzipping as she laughed and turned around, tossing her hair over her shoulders .

  “Be careful teasing me. I’ll turn you over my knee .”

  “I might risk it.” She blew him a kiss. “Sir .”

  He chuckled and shifted his weight. His cock was throbbing, pushing hard against the tight confines of his jeans. As she lowered the dense material down her hips, still keeping her back to him, he wiped beads of sweat from his brow. There was no turning back. This woman he would have. Forever. “Turn around. I need to see you .”

  Obeying, she faced him and delicately brushed the tips of her fingers down from her earlobe and neck, feathering light touches along her breastbone .

  Landen could barely swallow, let alone think clearly. He took a step forward, yanking back in line. All in good time. “Continue .”

  “Yes, sir.” The words now said with a sensual tone, she continued her gentle caresses, moving between the swell of her breasts. Using her index finger, she rolled the tip around her already hardened nipple, exaggerating her breathing sounds until they became a deep moan .

  Unable to stop his actions, he cupped his crotch, rubbing his fingers up and down his swollen cloth covered shaft. Stars floated in front of his eyes as she turned in a circle, twisting her lithe body in dancing motions. He continued to rub as she tugged the shirt up and off, swinging the top around her finger before tossing it .

  A giggle escaped her lips and she eased her arms behind her back, unfastening her crimson lace bra .

  He dropped his gaze to her breasts, full and voluptuous, and wanted nothing more than to suck on her nipples, plucking and twisting until she writhed in anguish as well as ecstasy. His thoughts drifted to the dark side, his longing to tie her arms, shackle her legs, make her his. He licked his dry lips and snorted when she turned away, swaying her hips back and forth in a provocative manner. “You are so bad. I’m going to whip that ass of yours cherry red .”

  “Why, yes, sir. I am a very naughty girl.” She held her bra to the side, lifting as high as her arm would allow before dropping it .

  When the slip of material hit the floor, he could take no more. Reaching out, he grabbed her by the wrist, yanking her toward him .

  “Oh!” As she tumbled against his chest, she trembled and kneaded his chest through his shirt. “I’m yours .”

  “Yes, you are .”

  Crack! Pop !

  “Oh!” Squealing, she rose onto her tiptoes the moment he swatted her on the ass. “Sir .”

  He lowered his head until his forehead touched hers. “Don’t you ever forget it.” Wrapping a single finger around the edge of her thong, he yanked. He shifted, slipped his arm around her stomach and draped her over his arm .

  Smack! Slap !

  “Landen!” She jerked up, panting .

  “Nope. You deserve this for teasing me .”

  Crack! Pop !

  Issuing a volley of hard smacks, and with every hard strike, he fell back into the desires he’d long since believed gone. Dead, just as the man inside. This woman, this amazing woman, had awakened his very soul .

  Whap! Pop! Crack !

  Shannon moaned and kicked out her legs, but she remained in place, accepting the spanking .

  Smack! Crack !

  His balls now aching to the point of intense pain, he righted her and kissed her lips. “I need to be inside of you .”

  “Fuck me. Take me. Whatever you want of me.” Her words more of a purr, she worked quickly, unfastening his belt buckle and belt, unzipping his jeans and peeling them past his hips .

  Landen rolled the shirt up and over his shoulders then yanked off his boots. After removing his jeans, he shook his head and advanced, cupping her buttocks. Using his upper body strength, he lifted her into the air. “I’m not going to be gentle .”

  Her lower lip quivering, she sensed what he was about to do and wrapped her legs around his thighs just as he yanked her down, impaling her pussy with a single, hard thrust. “Oh !”

  He tossed his head back and roared as a series of electric jolts rushed through every cell. Panting, he lifted her again, repeating the move .

  Shannon cupped her hands on both sides of his face, pulling down his head and capturing his mouth .

  Turning around in a circle, he rubbed his fingers up along her spine, gripping her neck. The kiss became manic as she rubbed her hands up and down his back, her fingers kneading his ass. The second she squeezed her cunt muscles, he almost lost it, spewing cum. Every touch, every sweet taste created goose bumps and beads of perspiration. He was on fire, famished. Tossing her down onto the bed, he dropped to his knees. “Hands over your head. Do not move .”

  She gulped then laughed. “I need you .”

  “Hands over your head or I’ll tie them .”

  Nodding, she obeyed .

  Landen opened her legs wide, lifting them up and back. Blowing down, he watched her expression, her face writhing for a few seconds before lowering his head, immediately sucking on her pussy lips .

  “Oh God!” Jerking up, she arched her back and wiggled. “Landen !”

  There was nothing more he craved than eating a woman, savoring the indulgent taste of their pussy juice, sucking on their tender tissue. He flicked his finger around her clit as he drove his tongue inside then used two fingers, moving in and out in orchestration .

  Shannon undulated back and forth, her moans becoming strangled, yet she continued to obey, her arms locked together over her head .

  Two fingers turned into four as he licked and sucked. When they were soaking wet, he slid them down the crack of her ass, finding her dark hole. He lifted his head. “I’m going to fuck you here .”

  “Mmm… Please, sir .”

  Grunting, he slipped two fingers just inside, pushing and pulsing as her chest heaved up and down. When she was more relaxed, he added a third finger, driving in and out as he concentrated on making her come .

  “God… I can’t …”

  “No coming until I allow you.” He nipped her clit and used his other hand, rubbing and pinching. He knew she was close and buried his face into her wetness, licking fervently as her legs lolled over his shoulders .

  “I need to come .”

  Ignoring her, he continued to lick and suck until her legs began to shake. He shifted until he slid both arms up her stomach to her chest, pinching her nipples between his thumbs and forefingers. “Are you ready ?”

  “Oh! Please let me come .”

  Breathing a dark laugh, he plunged his tongue inside her cunt before lifting his head and issuing a command. “Come !”

  Shannon reared up from the bed as the climax erupted and opened her mouth in a silent scream .

  He licked and sucked until she stopped shaking. Peppering kisses from one inner thigh to the other, he admired the beauty lying on his bed, the way the glow of the light from the other room cast shadows. But he could still see her lovely features, the sheen of perspiration. Rising to his feet, he crawled onto the bed and straddled her, lowering his head. “Taste your sweet cum .”

  He French kissed her mouth for several seconds. She opened her mouth, accepting his tongue, grunting as she struggled to get closer .

  After breaking the embrace, he nipped her earlobe and whispered. “All mine.” In a single move, he rolled over onto his back, dragging her up and over. He held her aloft, her hips just above his cock. “Do you want me ?”

  “More than you know .”

  “Then ride me.” Pulling her down, he shuddered as his shaft filled her. He was aching to the point he wouldn’t last long, and he wanted to experience every
inch of her .

  “Mmm…” She planted her hands on his chest and rocked forward and backward, lowering her head until her long hair fluttered across his chest .

  He closed his eyes and dug his fingers into her hips, pushing up to meet every thrust. “Harder .”

  Shannon moved faster, using her thighs to grip his sides. She panted, moans slipping past her lips, her entire body quivering .

  Blinking, he tried to focus and was ready to explode. He hoisted her up and rolled them over, then thrust hard and fast, the force slapping the bedframe against the wall. He felt his orgasm building. “Come with me. Come again .”

  “I…”

  “Come!” The command was guttural, and his entire body shook as he started to release .

  Squeezing her cunt muscles, she opened her mouth. “No! I’m …”

  The moment he exploded inside, filling her with his cum, he tipped his head back and heard her exclaim. There was nothing like coming together .

  M ontgomery stepped out of the shower, and for once, he was looking forward to the day. He hadn’t slept most of the night, finally giving up close to four in the morning. However, everything was set in motion. Now, to leave town before the shit hit the fan. He chuckled and wrapped the towel around his waist, wiping the mirror as he started to whistle. If only his father had any idea what was coming .

  He padded out into the bedroom just as his phone started to ring. He almost laughed when he noticed the caller. Maybe karma had a way of grasping the exact moment when the tides were about to turn. “How are you on this fine morning?” He continued walking, only half listening to the heavy breathing on the other end of the line. “What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue ?”

  “What did you do ?”

  “Me? I did nothing. What exactly are you talking about ?”

  “You know exactly what I mean. I had everything ready and you fucked it up. Not only is the fire investigator smack in the middle of this, but you have a smokejumper asking all kinds of questions .”

  “I have it taken care of .”

  “What, by that two-bit firefighter you hired to set the fires? You have to be out of your mind. There’s enough evidence pointing to that firehouse that I’m shocked the sheriff hasn’t put two and two together. But he will .”

  “I told you … that I have everything taken care of.” Montgomery had never been so angry in his life .

  “If you fuck this up, your father is going to know every ugly detail, all the backstabbing and the blackmail attempts. He’s going to know his only son is the reason this deal is going to fall through and that you’ve been planning on framing him. I have everything documented .”

  “My father? My father?” Montgomery slammed his hand down on the counter. The game he was used to and had been for years. He was just weary of the bullshit. “Listen to me. The rules have changed. You’re going to play it my way or I’ll cut you out and when and if I do, you’ll be ruined completely.” Another round of silence. Good. About time. “Then you do understand .”

  “What I understand is that you believe you can best me. Well, you’re wrong. This is my deal and you were invited in. I can easily pull you into Hell and you forget, I know exactly how. You had better take care of that woman or I will, and you don’t want to see what I’ll do to her .”

  He stopped short, his grip on the glass tightening. “Don’t you dare threaten me ever again. If you do, you will die .”

  Another round of laughter turned into a husky voice, the words laced with evil. “You’re already dead. You just don’t know it yet .”

  After throwing on clothes, he grabbed a duffle bag, tossing in a few things. Grabbing his wallet and keys, he headed for his office and to his safe. The oversized wall unit housed everything he held dear, including various deeds, money and his gun collection. He grabbed several stacks of money, tossing them into the bag. Deciding on firepower was next .

  Selecting a Glock 9mm, he grabbed several clips of ammo as well as a second handgun. He zipped the bag closed and eased his phone from his pocket .

  He would finish this by himself, without any help. Time to eradicate unnecessary baggage .

  S hannon had no idea of the time, nor did she care. She remained curled in his arms, watching the flicker of a single candle, the only light he’d wanted in the room. Content, she aimlessly rubbed her fingers across his chest, wondering what he was thinking. He’d been more dominating than before, and she had never been so comfortable with a man. She reached over, struggling to grab her half glass of wine. They must be on bottle number three, but who was counting ?

  “Thirsty? I know I am .”

  “For you,” she breathed and took a sip, immediately scooting up and placing her mouth on his. Using her tongue, she parted his lips, allowing the sip of cabernet to flow into his mouth .

  After swallowing he tickled her nose. “I meant for you, but that was tasty .”

  She chuckled and sat up, pulling a pillow into her lap, studying his face. He was more than just handsome, rugged with every line and crevice a telling of what he’d been through. “Can I ask you a question ?”

  “You can ask me anything .”

  “I was thinking about having a memorial for my brother, maybe by the river.” Her words were said softly. “The funeral was wonderful, and I appreciated the attention, but it wasn’t private. Everything was a blur .”

  “What about Jace?” Landen asked as he nuzzled against her hand .

  “I guess. I don’t know .”

  “That’s a wonderful idea and you should honor both men you cared for. Just because you’re allowing yourself to move on doesn’t mean what you shared together wasn’t special. I’d be honored if you’d allow me to be a part of it .”

  “You’d really do this with me ?”

  Landen leaned over, kissing her lips. “I’m not an easy man to love and I don’t know where this is going, but I know what I want for now and for years to come .”

  “What do you want?” The words were so difficult. In her heart, she knew what answer she wanted, but was he ready for anything but a casual relationship ?

  “I want you.” He held her hands, squeezing. “I’m falling in love with you and it scares me to death .”

  Tears slipped past her lashes and she tried to blink them away. “I love you too and I’m just as terrified. I don’t know how to love again. I’m afraid of what will happen to you. I don’t want to worry about every damn fire, but I will because I can’t imagine not having you in my life .”

  Brushing away her tears, he smiled. “Day at a time .”

  “Day at a time .”

  Landen kissed first one finger then another. “You taste sweet .”

  “You’re so bad. I have another question .”

  “Mmm… You’re full of them, baby .”

  She hesitated but wanted an honest answer. “Do you prefer submissive women?” When his eyes opened wide, she took his hand, intertwining their fingers. “I understand what Burnout means to the jumpers. They hunger for a dominant lifestyle, selecting women who will be submissive.” Embarrassment rushed into her system, flooding her face with heat, but she continued. “Spankings. Discipline. They’re really into all of that?” Was she asking a question or making a statement ?”

  Landen sat up. “Does that bother you ?”

  How could she respond? Tell him the truth. Be honest. “No. That’s what I want. I shared the lifestyle with Jace, but he was so controlling that I couldn’t keep my place. Honestly, he was too dominating during a time I couldn’t understand. Now, I know what I need.” She opened her eyes wide and groaned. “I can’t believe I told you that .”

  He eased the sheets from around his legs and wrapped them around her, pulling her closer. “Hey, I don’t claim to be an expert, but that’s what I’ve enjoyed. If you want to experience the lifestyle with me, we can, but right now, let’s just enjoy getting to know each other. Deal ?”

  She feathe
red her hand down the side of his face. “Deal .”

  Landen’s eyes twinkled. “On second thought…” He allowed the words to trail off .

  “What?”

  He placed his finger across her lips. “You worried me. You pushed me away .”

  “I know. I’m sorry .”

  “Sorry isn’t enough .”

  “What do you want me to say?” she asked and tried to understand what he was getting at .

  “I have an idea.” He eased off the bed and held out his hand, beckoning .

  “What are you doing ?”

  “Spanking you .”

  Taken aback, she hugged the covers against her chest .

  “No, you don’t. Come here. Now .”

  The way the tone of his voice had changed, dominating and as if he refused to allow any bad behavior to continue sent shivers up her legs, straight into her pussy. “But …”

  “No buts. Take my hand or your punishment will be much worse .”

  Was he kidding? Blinking, she pressed her fingers over her mouth then accepted his hand. As he pulled her to her feet, she moaned. “Landen .”

  “You’re going to learn to obey me. Understand?” Landen cupped her face with one hand. He towered over her, the look on his face one of dominance. Control .

  “Yes.”

  Smack!

  “Oh!” The single swat on her ass tingled. “Yes, sir!” The words flew out of her mouth. He was serious .

  “Better.” He took a long backwards stride and nodded to the pillows. “Place a pillow on the middle of the bed and climb on top, on your stomach .

  Shannon studied his eyes, his expression and his almost tense stance. Shit. He meant business. Her feet seemed to be heavier than normal as she plopped a pillow in the middle of the bed. She darted a glance over her shoulder and could see his dog watching everything that was going on. Great. An audience .

  “Go on,” he stated, pointing again .

  Apprehension as well as intense excitement surged through every cell in her body. Even the time with Jace, all the months of sharing the lifestyle, she’d never felt the need to be this obedient. She was giving Landen every ounce of trust. This would change their relationship. As she eased over the pillow, folding her arms under her head, she held her breath. Pain. She needed the release .
