  “You’re not going to get away that easily, Cali. I think it’s time that somebody surprises you.” Sebastian got on his knees and wedged his head into her big ass. He was never one for girls that offered the little bit extra, but Cali wore it with a sexual confidence. It was as if he was dealing with a woman with no self conscience about the way people perceived her. He saw the freedom in letting her freak fly and was going to help her to find that necessary release. The first climax was only a bit of fun at her expense, but the next one was going to be more profound and intense like that of an explosion of an IAD going off in the middle of the road in Afghanistan.

  “I don’t know why I let you do these things, SEBASTIAN.” Her squeal with his name etched on her lips was brought about by his tongue sipping from her elixir of life. There was no resistance and her body willingly accepted the oral invasion. “Damn… I don’t know how any woman has been able to deny you anything. You have an amazing gift and one that you take for granted. You can have any woman and I feel fortunate enough that you took the time to get to know me.” She was pounding her hands down onto the mattress and soon scratching through the sheets like some wild beast in the forest. “He’s a man that doesn’t exactly shy away from doing the woman the honor of letting her find hers first. Someone has taught him well and maybe I should show him that his efforts are not in vain.”

  Sebastian could see her ass quivering and her legs shaking. There was a powerful storm brewing. He was never one to walk away from a good thing and Cali had turned out to be the best thing in his life by far. Her love wasn’t free and it had to be earned. He felt like he was worthless, but she was the one that collected the pieces of his broken heart and put him back together again.

  After his face was a sheen of wetness from her body now giving up his just deserts she turned very quickly and made him stand there, while she kissed his neck by getting on her toes. “You are a man amongst men and you don’t even know how lucky I feel to have you in my life. You have always put me first and I know that you will never break my heart. I don’t know how I know that, but there’s just something in your eyes.” She followed the trail of the tip of her tongue down between his well defined pectorals and came to rest at his belly button. She dipped in for a moment to feel him shudder and she gripped him with her glove like hand.

  “This is the kind of moment that I need to test his limits and see what kind of man I’m dealing with. He has already shown me a part of him that makes me feel like he’s a dangerous man.” Cali knew that this was the kind of man that could make her do things that she wouldn’t normally do with any other man. The way that she moved with her tongue trailing a line of wetness along his shaft was enough to get his attention in a hurry.

  He could see that this woman was not about taking prisoners and that he was at the mercy of her sexual whims. She may have been lying about who she was, but he was unprepared to see that her desire for him had never waned even for a second. “I don’t think that I will ever find you boring, Cali. Your lips are like hot coals and your tongue seems to have the sense of a snake going after its prey.” He sat down heavily seeing that she was following and not relinquishing her hold. He watched with avid attention to see her technique of taking him all the way in and then back out in one long and lazy stroke.

  Her head bobbed forward surrounding his package with her long hair and obscuring his vision from what she was doing. Her tongue outstretched and licked the underside of his balls, which of course made his member jerk with the sudden and abrupt action. “There are no conditions when I’m with him and I will always remember him until the day that I die. I hope that he sees me in his wildest dreams and that I always exceed his expectations. Nobody had to know what we did to one another, but I think it was damn obvious from the way that we look at each other.” Cali knew that he was bad, but he did it so well and made her think that there was no reason to change him.

  He felt like his gun was going to go off and he immediately extricated himself from a dangerous premature moment. The memory of her of being tangled up with her on that beach fueled him and made him ache. He lifted her from the floor and pushed her back, until she was widespread on the bed.

  “I’ve never needed anybody like you, Cali. You take my breath away and maybe you did deceive me, but you did it for good reasons. I will say that being with you is better than being without you.” He turned her slightly and got into the spoon position. Lifting her leg, he nibbled on her neck and pulled at her earlobe. He was soon sliding within the silky confines of her sexual desire.

  The bed was rocking and the mattress shifted, until they were haphazardly laying half on the bed and half off. His hips were driving into her and she was more than up to the task of meeting him in the middle. It was like they had the blueprints to each other’s bodies. They knew just where to touch and what buttons to push to make the most profound cry of pleasure come from their lips.

  Cali was soon flat on her stomach with him using the softness of her nice plump ass, as a means for giving her what she wanted. “I’ve never felt this wanted in my life and this is, so much better than just needing to get one out of the chamber. I’ve had nights clawing at the sheets using a particular toy, but this is so much better. I never want to lose this. That’s the reason why I’m going to go with him to confront Commander Grady. He’s going to be like a caged animal and to catch him in a corner is only going to make him snap out his claws.”

  His hands were on her shoulders and he looked down to where her cheeks had separated to give him the perfect view for the type of loving that he was inflicting on her.

  “I can feel it… I can fucking feel it… YESSSSSS.” It was a spontaneous and simultaneous moment of both of them screaming at the same time. It was not a question of who had came first, because it was like they were joined as one and there was no way to know where one ended and the other began. His seed burned through him and came out on the other end with spurt after spurt, until he fell exhausted and depleted on top of her.

  “I don’t think that this could get any better. I know that you have been dealing with a lot and I hope that you will give me a chance to give you the tools to handle just about anything. You are a stubborn man, but you need to learn to ask for help. It does not show weakness and it shows that you’re willing to entertain the idea of mental health.” “I know the truth and even with my betrayal, he still feels that deeply for me. I think that what I need to do is to always give him a reason to trust me. I know how he feels about therapy, but I truly believe that I can help him.

  A few hours later and Sebastian had stepped from the shadows on the dock to stand in front of the man that he used to respect like nobody else. Standing beside him was the woman that had changed everything for him. The one thing that Commander Grady had done that he was grateful for was to bring this woman into his life.

  “I figured that I would see you sooner than later, Sebastian. It appears that my plan to keep you occupied was in vain. I seriously thought that when she got a crack at you that you would crumble and become inconsolable. It might’ve been wishful thinking, but I thought I knew you. I will say that I’m happy to see that you were stronger than I thought you were. I am a little disappointed that you’re not rocking back and forth in the fetal position in some padded room somewhere. What exactly do you intend to do?” Grady was completely taken back that Sebastian had shown up, but he wasn’t about to show that kind of weakness.

  “What you need to do is to come with me and to throw yourself on the mercy of the court. You shouldn’t have come after me and doing it like this shows just what kind of coward you are. I would have had more respect for you had you come after me yourself with guns blazing. You can either come quietly, or we can do it the hard way. I’m begging you to do it the hard way.” Sebastian was standing in front of Cali to make sure that there was no way that she could get injured.

  “I can’t come with you willingly and that is not the kind of man I am. Do what you need to do, but expect one h
ell of a fight.” Commander Grady got into a stance, but then he was struck with an electrical burst that made him shimmy to his own tune and then fall like a smoking crater at the feet of his true enemy.

  Stephen came out wielding the taser and smiling to see the twitching form of Commander Grady looking up in stupefied horror to see that he had been caught by someone that had an axe to grind.

  “I knew that his attention would be on me and that he would never even imagine that I would come with reinforcements. You earned the money, Stephen. I do hope that you use it for something more than women and drugs.” Sebastian passed him an envelope full of cash and Stephen didn’t even bother looking at the amount. He knew that Sebastian would never cheat him. That was not something that he could say for himself. He would sell his own mother for the chance to make a buck, but he blamed Commander Grady for leading him down this dark and lonely path.

  Cali watched Stephen wave the envelope in the air before tucking it into his green army jacket. He pulled down the black knit cap and disappeared into the mist like that of a ghost.

  “What now?” Cali was very thankful that Sebastian had decided to use his god given brains instead of any need for vengeance.

  “Now, we can go on with the rest of our lives. I think that I need to find something different and not always think that the answer is at the end of a gun barrel. I want something normal with you and I have a feeling that having you in my life is going to be one interesting adventure.”

  They did present Commander Grady to the congressional hearing and it wasn’t long before a guilty verdict was brought back. He screamed that he was going to get even and even behind bars he had long arms.

  Cali soon found out that she was with child and they decided to pack it up and go someplace off the grid and away from the prying eyes of the public. They would live modestly, but in the back of their mind they would know that Grady and his need for revenge was still out there.

  Cali did help him to rid himself of some of those demons, but he would always carry them with him, as a reminder of his time of the worst hell of his life. He had walked through that hell and found the angel arms of Cali waiting for him on the other side. They would never truly be safe, but in each other’s arms that was exactly how they felt.

  THE END

  HEAL MY HEART

  Chapter 1

  Colin McGrath was a loyal man, he trusted the king with his life. The king after all had taken in the young orphan boy and kept him alive for many years. A loyalty like that will do just about anything for the person they feel bound too.

  He knew that was the reason the king had called him today. Colin could feel something was brewing in the air; he just wasn’t sure what it was.

  “Colin, you know I love you like my own son. So since Kaden is already betrothed I need to do this for me.” King McDowell explained.

  “Anything sire, you know I am your loyal warrior, I will do anything you command or even ask of me.” Colin bowed before the man who he thought of like a father.

  “The McCloud girl, Sarah, you and her will be married on Saturday this week.” The king commanded.

  Colin didn’t know what to say, he hadn’t expected this command. He was thinking he would be ordered to sneak into enemy territory and kill the prince, or someone else just as important. But to marry, the McCloud girl, he tried to think of which one it might be.

  They fought beside that clan often in the past. Then he thought of one of them, I hope it isn’t her, he thought to himself. “Yes sire.” Colin said.

  He walked away from the king, thinking of what he could picture of the McCloud girl he could recall. She was a mean woman. He couldn’t think of a better way to describe her right off. She wasn’t the most attractive woman in the region either. Colin had always pictured himself with a lass that was strikingly beautiful.

  But he knew it wasn’t being asked of him to do this, but he was being told. The only way to get out of this would be to leave the area, flee right now and in secret. He would be left all alone, much like he had been for so many years of his life.

  For so many years of his life he had been alone. He couldn’t even recall how long right off hand. But it had seemed like forever to his young eyes. Colin wasn’t even sure how he stayed alive all those years, “aye, it was pure luck I tell you.” He whispered to himself as he thought back.

  He had been a frail boy when the king had found him in that alley one day. Colin wasn’t sure how he had been so lucky to be in the right place and at the right time that day. But he had been and that day in time had changed his whole world in one moment.

  Colin had watched from behind stone in the forest. He had seen the two men from afar, could tell they were up to no good. So he had quietly snuck in behind them, they hadn’t noticed him at all.

  He could hear a horse approaching from the distance. The men lowered down and seemed ready to attack something, or someone. Two thoughts had passed through his mind at that moment. One was that he should really help the person they were trying to rob. The other was to help them and then somehow kill them later and get all the loot.

  Colin would admit to a few people that the only reason he hadn’t chosen the second choice, was because he couldn’t kill them one on one. But if he snuck up on them at the perfect moment, he could take one of them out. That would leave the person coming alone with only one attacker to fend off. It was a much better average that Colin would live through this event. But the person who would be the victim might not live through the attack. That would leave Colin with possible one person left to take out, the other attacker. He could hope that this person would have been injured as well, and perhaps badly. Colin could walk away with the valuable of three people, and a horse.

  So he had decided on the option of timing. He quietly watched the two and listened as the horse came closer. As the men jumped out, Colin seized that moment to throw the rock he had picked up. His aim was perfect and he got the attention of the attacker.

  Though his friend or partner had turned around at his noise, he continued on with their plan. The other attacker’s attention was firmly drawn to the rider of the horse and not on Colin. He smiled as the plan had worked perfectly.

  “Thank you fine lad, I think I might have been dead had you not come along.” Colin had heard said behind him.

  Turning around he had looked at the king for the first time. He had been a very large man, Colin couldn’t have expected that, but he knew he would have to plan this just right.

  “I had been watching them for a bit out here. Sometimes they fall asleep at night and leave some food by their fire.” Colin admitted.

  “Where is your family? I think we should get you back to them.” The king had said at that time.

  “I’m an orphan sire.” Colin had told the king.

  “Then I’ll take you back with me. You can live with us, and I’ll take care of you. No child should be out here by themselves. How old are you son, do you know?” The king had asked.

  “No sire, honestly I’ve been on my own for a while. I think I was 5 when my parents left me on the streets.” Colin explained. He wasn’t really sure if they had left him, or simply died when they were robbing someone. He couldn’t remember much at all about his parents.

  Now all these years later he felt like the king’s son. He would gladly lay his life down for the king, no hesitation now. Sometimes he would feel guilty for having considered robbing the king all those years ago. But he knew it was just the type of boy he had grown up to be, not who he was when he was loved.

  Colin had really felt like part of the family for so long now. He felt it an honor that his king would ask of him something so important. It must be an important ally to have.

  He thought again of the various McCloud females he knew. No matter how hard he tried, only one of them stood out in his mind. She had been a fiery little thing, treating men like they were nothing. He tried to remember more about her. But the other thing that was bugging him about this marriage was
that he had wanted someone special in his life.

  Colin had seen how the royal couple looked at each other. He saw the admiration between them. He really wanted to have that special closeness they seemed to share. How was he going to have that with a girl he didn’t know?

  But his loyalty wouldn’t allow him to do anything but stay. He had thought of it many times between the day he found out and Saturday. However, here he was getting ready to marry Sarah McCloud. He wasn’t even sure if he had even seen her before.

  Colin hoped she was at least attractive. It would really be a pain to be stuck with someone he didn’t like, not even physically. He had been with women in the past, so he knew he liked sex. But he also knew that this girl had an advantage over him. That was that she was the real daughter of her father. Even though for the past 12 years he had lived like family, Colin knew that he was still an orphan in all honesty.

  No matter how much the king had treated him like his own son through these years; the king would still not support him. Not if Sarah would go up to him and tell the king Colin hadn’t been keeping me happy. Not the type of conversation he would want to happen.

  So he couldn’t upset this girl, or she would in essence, tell on him to her father. Her father will get mad and tell the king, and that would be it. Colin would learn just how little he meant to the king at that point. He had felt love for so long; he didn’t want to see the disappointment in the king’s eyes. But more than that was he wouldn’t want to hear the words of the king. He could almost imagine it in the king’s voice. “You let me down Colin.” He heard in his mind.

  “Hey are you about ready?” Colin heard the king’s voice behind him.

  “Yes sire I’m ready.” Colin turned and went to get married.

  He wouldn’t admit that he was completely petrified at that moment, but he was close to it. Colin wanted to run more than anything at this moment. But he kept walking and went to see his wife for the first time.
