Seducing Our Lady's Heart [Commando Cowboys and Renegade Texans Unite 2] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Polyromance)

by Paige Cameron

  His tenderness shone in his expressive eyes and the soft curve of his sensual lips. Waves of excitement danced inside her. The very air seemed electrified when she unbuttoned her jeans and slid them and her panties to the floor.

  Todd groaned when she stretched her arms high and her hips undulated to the music. She dipped close to him and twirled away. Her feet danced to the beat of the melody.

  “I want to touch you.”

  “Not until I say you can. This is my turn to torment you. Spread your legs.”

  He did as she said and Sunn danced between his legs. Then she knelt and rubbed her hands along his muscled thighs. “These jeans need to come off,” she said.

  He quickly helped her up, and then threw off his clothes. “Is this better darlin’?”

  “Yes, now sit again.” She moved back between his legs, and her lips trailed across his thighs. She glanced at him. His eyes flashed with an inner light. He held his lips tight and his jaw rigid.

  “Am I hurting you?”

  “Yes, but in the best way. I want you so bad I can hardly hold back my urge to throw you under me and plunge my hungry cock inside your pussy.”

  His words made her heart leap with delight. But she tried to keep her expression blank. “You can when I’m through with you.”

  Todd stared at her boldly. “I’ll make you pay.”

  “But only in the best way,” she said, repeating his words. Her hands ran under his sac and moved his balls gently. His large, hard cock stood out, begging to be kissed. Her tongue swiped across the crown and she tasted his salty essence. Then she took him in her mouth as deep as she could. Her tongue slid around his satin smooth cock.

  Todd’s fingers gripped her head. “Darlin’, as much as I love your mouth on me, I want to come inside your hot pussy.”

  “Are you sure?” she raised her head.

  “Yes.”

  She kissed the top of his cock and gently moved his balls.

  “Come here.” His strong hands reached down and drew her to his side. Lying on the bed, Todd faced her and pulled her soft body against his hardness. His fingers caressed the side of her face.

  “With all the information I learned today about this ranch and finding I had a family, you are still the most important part of my life.

  “I am more certain than ever that I can be a good husband and father. I won’t ask you to marry me now. I’ll give you time to think, but afterward I’ll ask you once more and hope you say yes.”

  He leaned forward and kissed her mouth softly. His tongue licked and tasted the warm interior. “You are so sweet,” he murmured.

  Sunn rolled him on his back and straddled his body. She reached out and rubbed her hands across his nipples, and the light of desire shown in his eyes.

  He stayed still as she began to kiss his face. She nibbled on his earlobe, and her lips ran along his strong neck. She paused at the juncture where she felt his heart pounding.

  She raised her head and he caressed her cheek with the knuckles of his right hand. “It beats for you.” He glanced around. “I almost forgot.” He reached for his jeans, grabbed a condom, and handed it to her. She rolled it on.

  Then, he flipped her under him and clamped his mouth over her breast. His tongue licked her nipples, sending heat from one end of her body to the other. When he sucked on one peaked point, her body arched, giving him better access to both breasts. He moved between them kissing, licking, and sucking.

  Her juices flowed out of her hungry pussy. Todd slid down and separated her legs. He kissed her clit and licked her juices all the way to her pussy opening.

  Then he put two fingers in her pussy and sent a jolt of electricity shooting to her head. Hot desire raced in her veins. Todd put his head against her heart. “Yours is pounding for me, too.” He grinned at her. He stimulated her G-spot and she pleaded with him to take her.

  Todd grazed his teeth across her clit and a wave of delicious euphoria swept from her feet to the top of her head. When she yelled his name, he thrust inside her pussy and drove hard and fast.

  She wrapped her arms and legs around him and moved with him. He pounded into her pussy as though he couldn’t get enough. A golden glow shone in his aquamarine eyes. His cheekbones were held taut and his mouth tight.

  When he lifted her hips and slid further in, she opened herself to him as she’d never done before. She felt his need, the turmoil inside him, and deep down the darkness that tormented him.

  Sunn whispered in his ear. “You’re a good, strong man. You fought your way to the top. No one can pull you down.”

  Hearing her words, he slowed his pace and looked down at her. “Did I hurt you? I lost control trying to get closer and closer to you. With you I feel complete.”

  “I’m fine. I also strained to get closer to you.”

  Keeping eye contact, Todd glided into her pussy slowly. He thrust in and out until the tension built again. Then he kissed each breast and sucked on her nipple.

  Deep inside her core warmth blossomed and captivated her in a glowing delight. Todd pushed once more and held still as pleasurable passion seeped into every cell in her body.

  She whispered his name, threw back her head, and let the flood of emotions roll through her.

  Todd plunged in faster a few more times before she heard his yell of completion and his body went limp. He rolled to the side.

  Her heart gradually slowed, but the ripples in her pussy and the tingling in her body took longer to recede.

  They lay with their hands entwined. Sunn didn’t speak for fear of breaking the peaceful silence.

  Chapter Thirteen

  Chandler joined them sometime in the middle of the night. Todd woke briefly, nodded to him, and went back to sleep. When he opened his eyes later, sunlight was shining in the window. He reached for Sunn, but she and Chandler weren’t in bed.

  Todd had just sat up when Chandler came to the door. “Breakfast is ready. Sunn and I quietly dressed. You were exhausted from yesterday, or you’d never have slept through our moving around.”

  “No, I wouldn’t have.” He raked his hand through his hair. “I feel much better, more alert.”

  “We’re going to eat and the plane will be ready to transport us home. Join us.”

  “Sure, I’ll be right there.” Todd pulled on his jeans and splashed his face with cold water.

  Sunn was placing plates filled with sausage, eggs, and potatoes on the table. “Hope you’re hungry. The refrigerator was stocked with food. Have a glass of orange juice.”

  The cold, sweet juice tasted wonderful to his dry throat. He sat across from Chandler with Sunn beside them.

  “It must have been some night,” Chandler commented. “You both look stronger and refreshed this morning.”

  Sunn blushed and they laughed. Todd asked Chandler, “Do you think she’ll still be blushing a year from now?”

  “Probably, she’s a bit of an old-fashioned girl. I like that about her.”

  “Me, too. Her blush gives her rosy cheeks.”

  “Stop talking about me.” Sunn tried to frown at them, but ended up laughing. “It’s difficult to stay mad or be annoyed with you two. I shouldn’t admit that to you.”

  A knock sounded on the front door. “May we come in?” a male voice shouted.

  Chandler got up and went to the living room. He came back with Lann and a very tall, black-haired man, who had aquamarine eyes like Todd.

  “I’m Sahale Connor. You met Jack and Ellen yesterday.” He put out his hand to Todd. “I can see the family resemblance. Nanna asked me to come along. She thinks I can be of help. If you don’t mind?”

  “Whatever she thinks is best.”

  Sahale grinned. “You’ve learned already. We never question Nanna’s decisions. Ethan Stanton will fly us by helicopter to Nanna’s. Your plane and pilot are ready to go, but finish eating. Lann and I will have coffee.”

  Todd hurriedly finished. He wanted to get this started and over so he could return to Texas. Everyone
believed in Nanna’s talents. He wasn’t sure, but she did appear to know more than the average person. It couldn’t hurt to visit her and get to know his family better.

  At the airport Todd hugged Sunn tight, kissed her, and walked briskly toward the helo. He swung in beside Sahale and waved. Nanna sat up front with Ethan. Then they were off flying above the treetops.

  “Todd, this is Ethan Stanton, one of the best pilots you’ll ever want to meet.” Sahale introduced them.

  “Welcome to the extended family. I think we’ve met briefly before.” He glanced at the tiny woman sitting beside him. “We all feel a connection with each other and especially to Nanna.” Ethan winked at her.

  “Stop your flirting, young man, or I’ll tell Morgan, and she’d yank you bald.”

  When Ethan stopped laughing, he said, “She probably would, but not if I flirt with you, darlin’,” Ethan continued to tease her.

  “Watch your flying,” Nanna cautioned. “I have no desire to hit the ground.”

  “Nanna, where is your faith in me? Ah, I see your little cabin in the distance. We’ll be there soon, and I’ll land especially softly for you.”

  Todd liked both Sahale and Ethan. Ethan had an easy way about him, but he constantly watched his flying even when talking with Nanna. And he did set them down gently on the green grass beside the little cabin. Todd and Sahale got out while Ethan helped Nanna.

  “When shall I return for your guests, Nanna?” Ethan asked.

  “We’ll contact you. I expect in about two days. Will you be available?”

  “Yes, but I could sent Ted.” Ethan’s mouth curved into a slight grin.

  “If you do, I’ll put a black spell on you.”

  Ethan roared with laughter. When he could speak, he explained to Todd, “Nanna rode with Ted once and they got into an area of bad weather. The helicopter went up and down and frightened Nanna. She blames poor Ted and won’t ride with anyone but me.”

  Ethan put his arms around Nanna and hugged her. “I’ll be around Nanna, but some other time I might not be available. Then you’ll have to ride with one of the other pilots.”

  “Humph, we’ll see. Come on, boys. There’s work to be done.”

  Todd and Sahale waved at Ethan and followed her into the cabin. Sahale whispered in his ear. “We’re all boys to her. I’m not sure I’ll ever get old enough to be anything else in her mind.” He shrugged and grinned. “What can you do? I love her.”

  “I can hear you, Sahale.”

  “Nanna still has excellent hearing.”

  “We will have tea and then begin. Since I am a bit older, we will work for shorter periods, but it will be as effective.” She ushered them into the kitchen and to the table.

  “I have a special tea that relaxes the mind and helps it to be more open.”

  “Nanna is famous for her teas. She has one for almost every ailment of the mind or body,” Sahale explained.

  Todd noticed the brewing tea smelled of cinnamon and other spices he couldn’t recognize. Nanna cut a loaf cake and put a slice on three plates. She brought them to the table while the tea seeped.

  “This is an apple cinnamon loaf I made just before Mitch called me. I never expected to meet a new family member.” She smiled at Todd. “Tell me what you are feeling and thinking. We will work from there.” She got up and poured the tea into three cups and returned.

  What do I feel? My emotions are in turmoil.

  “I’ve never been one to dwell on feelings. I found it best to keep them pushed down and ignored.” He breathed in the fragrance of the tea and took a sip. “This is good.”

  “Ah, you are trying to avoid opening the closed door for fear you’ll be overwhelmed,” Nanna said.

  “How do you know what you said is true?”

  “When I touch you I feel the misgivings of sharing personal thoughts with others. To give yourself to another, you must trust enough to share. Is she worth trying to let go of the past?”

  Nanna stared at him with her sharp, beautiful eyes. Todd studied her and fought an inner battle. It had been easy to tell Sunn and Chandler he’d go with Nanna to learn more about his family. But telling Nanna about himself was going to be difficult. She sipped her tea and waited patiently for his answer. Sahale ate his cake and drank his tea, not entering into the conversation.

  Todd glanced down at his teacup. His hands were tightly grasping the fragile china. He forced himself to relax. Then he raised his head and looked at Nanna.

  “I will try. Whether I can open that door, I don’t know.”

  “All anyone asks is for you to be open to the possibility and try.” Her sweet smile warmed his heart. “I believe you can do it. You are strong and brave. Finish your tea and we will begin.”

  In the living room they sat by the fireplace. Sahale started a small fire. Then he joined them on the cushions on the floor.

  “We will join hands,” Nanna instructed.

  When they did, a buzz of warmth and energy flooded his body. Nanna instructed them to close their eyes. He hesitated, but did as she asked.

  She sang words he’d never heard and yet they seeped into his heart. The hands holding his were strong, even Nanna’s, and they held fast to him.

  “Open you mind and heart to the universe and you will find freedom.” Her soft words, understandable this time, made his heart race.

  “I don’t know how,” he said.

  “You do. Clear you mind of all preconceived attitudes and ambivalence. Trust yourself to find the answers.”

  Nanna returned to the relaxing words and music of her voice. Todd tried to let himself relax and trust. But a part of him held back and he knew it. After what seemed hours, Nanna told them to open their eyes.

  “It’s time to eat lunch and rejuvenate our spirit. After we eat, you two will go riding. Later we’ll continue our work.” She patted Todd’s hand. “Don’t worry. With each session it will get easier for you to let go.”

  Lunch was chicken sandwiches, homemade coleslaw, and fruit. When they’d finished, Nanna shooed them off to the barn.

  Sahale chuckled. “We’ll go, Nanna, after we clean the kitchen. You go and lie down.”

  “Thank you, I will. Getting old takes some of my energy, but we’ll get through this together.” She patted Todd’s shoulder on her way out.

  “Is she going to be all right?” Todd asked. “I don’t want to make her sick,”

  “She’ll be all right as long as she rests in between sessions. Let’s get this cleaned up and go riding.” Sahale poured soap in the sink and began washing. Todd found a dish towel and dried.

  “Do you think this will work for me?”

  “If you quit doubting and want it to work.”

  Easier said than done, but he’d try for himself, Sunn, and Chandler.

  Sunn slept in her bed and found she missed having either Chandler or Todd or both beside her. When she woke early, she got up and prepared for work. Her receptionist, Anne, said she’d be in at nine and start calling clients.

  I need to work and get back to my usual schedule. Maybe then I’ll know for sure whether I want to marry or remain a single professional giving my all to my career. Just the thought had the road ahead looking lonely and dull.

  She arrived at her office at eight thirty and worked straight through until five. She did take a short break at one o’clock to eat a sandwich and drink the tea Anne had brought her.

  “I’m glad to see the last client leave, but it was good to be busy,” Sunn said to Anne. “I’m going home. You can close. See you tomorrow.”

  Chandler had suggested he bring her out to his ranch, but she wanted time to think about all that had happened and about him and Todd.

  Sunn stopped at the grocery to fill her refrigerator. At the condo she parked in her usual spot in the garage and headed to the elevator. A shiver went across her shoulders. She was glad when the doors closed and she got to her floor.

  She quickly unlocked her door, went in, and
relocked it. Then she leaned against the back of the door. She trembled and her knees were weak.

  Silly, I didn’t see anyone or anything out of place. It’s just my vivid imagination.

  By the time she’d eaten dinner and watched the news, she had gotten rid of the silly idea that she was being watched when she got out of her car. She drank one glass of wine before her shower, and then she lay in bed watching one of her favorite television shows.

  Outside in the darkness the man watched her windows. Tomorrow he’d be ready for her.

  Chapter Fourteen

  They’d gone for the ride and returned, rubbed the horses down, and went to the house. Todd showered before joining Nanna.

  “Sahale will be out in a minute. He’s using my shower. The boys built an extra bathroom for me with a door into my bedroom. I like it.”

  “Sorry to keep you all waiting.” Sahale sat and crossed his legs.

  Nanna put out her hands and they joined with her. “Todd, I will lead you. When you get to the door no one can open it but you.” He nodded and closed his eyes. Nanna hummed a melody, and then she said, “See the path, Todd? Look carefully in your mind’s eye. It is right in front of you.”

  His suspicions held him back at first. He forced himself to take deep breaths and relax. Nanna sang the mystic song from the earlier session. A strange sensation came over him, as though he had gone inside himself. A cool mist touched his body.

  “Good.” He heard Nanna’s voice from a distance. “Follow the sound of my voice.”

  He listened and heard her ahead of him. He ran through the mist following her musical tone. The further he went the thicker the mist.

  “Don’t turn back. The mist is your resistance. Tear it aside.” Her words were clear in his head. “Walk straight to the door.”

  But still the mist tried to hold him back. He yanked and pulled his way through the thick curtains. His arms got tired and his feet dragged.

  At some level, he felt others encouraging him. And then he saw the heavy wooden door. It looked old and heavy metal crisscrossed the wood. A huge lock hung from the engraved latch.
