Rodeo Rancher

by Lauren Wood

  Judson could barely stand and being in that position with her legs wrapped around him was a little taxing on his body. It was a good thing that he was in great shape, or he probably wouldn’t be able to keep up with a woman of high demand. “I doubt that it comes, as a big surprise that what you are doing right now is making me climb the walls.” His voice was rushed and he could literally feel the byproduct of the climax that he just had. It paled in comparison, but it still made him aware that his body was now hers. He could deny it all he wanted, but the proof was in the way that she could make him practically jump at her command.

  They continued to administer to each other’s needs, until she got up after getting her fill. She loved that he was a little beside himself after such a display of sexual heat. She couldn’t help herself and she didn’t give up, until every single drop was not wasted. None of it made it to the floor of the elevator. The main portion was inside of her and that little bit that was on her tongue was causing her to remember more than she wanted to.

  Somehow, he had found a way to kick out and hit the stop button on the elevator. Neither one of them was fully aware that the alarms were going off. It wasn’t, until they fixed themselves up that they finally came out in the lobby looking like they were wearing their sex on their sleeve.

  Chapter 6

  “I don’t have time to grill you on what you were doing in the elevator and I think that is pretty damn obvious. How you could possibly do something like that after everything that you’ve been through is beyond me. We got the guy, but he didn’t go down without a fight. He shot one of the guards, before we opened fire and brought him down in a hail of bullets. We found his phone and our tech guys are going over it to find out who might have put him on this assignment. I don’t know when or if we will have answers, but we won’t give up, until we have something. In the meantime, we are stationing a couple of extra patrols near both your houses. It would be better if you stayed in one place together and maybe I can convince you to…never mind, I doubt that it’s going to take much convincing.

  They were a little breathless, but they sheepishly looked at each other and realized that staying in one place together wasn’t such a bad thing after all. “I can’t speak for Judson, but I don’t see any reason why we can’t do that.” She almost laughed out loud at the absurdity of having him underneath one roof together. They would never be able to stay away from each other and what they had already done in the elevator was only a prelude to better things to come.

  They were escorted to his palatial estate, but they were soon squirreled away to a safe house that didn’t have wall to wall windows. That was easy access for any sharpshooter that wanted to get his sights on the both of them.

  “Tomorrow morning, we’ll have a nurse stop over to make sure that you are on the mend. You can be assured that nobody’s going to get near you without our direct permission. I don’t want you to call any one of your friends and family. They can’t know where the both of you are. If this is a professional hit, then it is possible that they will send somebody else to get the job done.” Officer Mills had decided to take a personal interest in this case. He had come this far and he felt that he had to go the rest of the way. He gave them no answers and his only hope was that something on the phone would lead them to more of the story. He knew that he was missing something. Even if they didn’t know it, one of them had the missing puzzle piece that would explain all of this.

  “We’ll be perfectly fine officer Mills. I plan to make something for Judson that will satisfy his palate and his appetite for something spicy.” Her underlying meaning was not lost on either officer Mills or Judson for that matter. Samantha was actually enjoying playing the seductress. She mostly went with the flow, but maybe it was time to grab on to any kind of happiness.

  “Myself and one other officer will be outside watching the place. I can’t see how they’re going to find you, unless they are really that damn good.” After Officer Mills left, Judson and Samantha had a very spicy rice dish.

  “I don’t know where you learned to cook like this, but you do know that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. If you continue to do this, I don’t think that I will ever want to leave you.” Judson was smiling from ear to ear and then they retired to the living room to watch a little TV. There wasn’t much on the shooting and apparently they had swept it underneath the rug by saying that the man was deranged and they had no choice, but to use lethal force. It was the only a way to keep the public and the press from digging into the personal life of young Judson Nielsen. His publicist was good at spinning things and she had a way of twisting people around her little finger.

  Judson picked up the phone and found that his publicist Sarah was more than happy to gloat over her success at making this kind of bad publicity go away. “Judson, I don’t want you to worry about anything. I’m making sure that this ugly business doesn’t get in the way of you winning that big game tomorrow night. The championship is on the line. If you can lead them this far, then you can take them all the way to the Super Bowl.” Sarah was a nice girl, but when push comes to shove, she was able to give her client the benefit of her years.

  “I’ve been thinking about getting an agent, but maybe you can take on both roles. Give it some thought. That kind of percentage can make or break your career. I’ll be in touch and believe me nothing is going to keep me from that game.”

  Sarah hung up and then lay back in her leather chair with her hands over her head. Her secretary Jennifer was only one reason why she was smiling. Jennifer was taking liberties down below for the chance at a big raise. She looked down on the blond mane and the way that her tongue was making her feel out of this world. She had actually been able to talk with Judson without having her voice crack from the obvious pleasure that she was enduring.

  Jennifer was happily taking the one thing from her boss that she’d never been able to take before. Feeling her hump up against her mouth and the taste of her sweetened her lips was more than enough to make her want to stab her tongue deeper. This was a means to an end for the both of them.

  When she was finished with her personal attention, she climbed out to see the look of on her bosses face. She could hear something underneath her breath, but she wasn’t completely sure of what that might have been. “I really have to get home to my husband. I’m sure that he’s wondering where I’m at. Don’t worry; I’ll be able to convince him that I was working late. He doesn’t even know that I have these tendencies and to be honest, I really didn’t know that I had them myself. You do have this way and I think that this is the kind of power that you hold in the palm of your hand.

  Jennifer stumbled from the office, leaving Sarah to lie there in the post orgasmic embrace of her own hands. When the door closed, both of them reached for their phone at the same time, not to mention the same thing was happening with a certain Officer Mills outside in his patrol car.

  Judson was lying there with Samantha nestled in between his arms. Her head was lying on his chest and she had obviously used the drone of his heartbeat to fall into a deep slumber. He looked at her like an angel and this was the most serene that he had ever seen her. She was quiet and his heart was racing a million miles an hour. If he could keep her like this, he would’ve been happy to take all the stress from her life and bring it on to himself. He didn’t like that she had to fight for her life and it was all because of him. He wanted to keep her away from harm, but he had done a piss poor job of it up to this point. Why did she have to be, so damn stubborn? It was his least favorite trait of hers, but that was part of the whole package. He would’ve loved to change her, but this was who she was. She was a survivor. Samantha would probably differ, but he knew the truth.

  He heard his phone and very quietly reached for it on the coffee table. He had to be careful not to wake Samantha. It didn’t appear that that was going to be a problem considering that she had quite the day. He could easily see down her negligee and it was making a certain part of him come alive a
ll over again. He managed to get his hands on his phone. When he pressed for the messages, his eyes went wide with alarm.

  THE END

  BOOK – 4

  Chapter 1

  The message was there and then suddenly it vanished into a jumble of letters. There was no real proof that it happened at all, except the Judson had seen it and now he was wide awake with no idea how he was going to close his eyes.

  “If you think for a second that I’m done with you, then you are stupider than you look. You may have stopped me for the moment, but expect the next time that I take a more personal approach. Never let somebody else do for you, when you can do for yourself. If I want something done right, then I’m going to have to get my own hands dirty I will be in touch if you don’t do what I say, then you’re lady love will suffer the consequences.” These were the words that he had seen and was now running around in his mind all night long. He wasn’t sure what to tell Samantha.

  There was no way that he could possibly get any sleep and there were times during the night that he was pacing the floor trying to come up with something that would make all this go away. He still had no idea who was after him, but he was getting the sinking suspicion that maybe this wasn’t what it appeared to be. They had thought that this was some kind of stalker, but hearing the words of the assailant had made him believe that they weren’t really grasping why this was happening.

  “Don’t tell me that you’ve been awake all of this time. I know that it has been hard on you, but you have to take some solace in the fact that the man has been dealt with. They’re only keeping us here, as a precaution and there’s no doubt in anybody’s mind that the danger is over.” “I don’t know why he’s worrying and I can see the angst on his face. He wants to tell me something, but he’s not sure how to say it. Maybe he’s ready to finally admit that he has fallen in love for the first time in his life. I want to hear those words. He has come, so close and it was right there at the tip of his tongue. He has already told me that he cares for me deeply, but I haven’t really heard him say that he was in love. I know that he’s scared, but he’s not the only one.”

  Samantha got up with the sheet around her body, making sure to hide her shame from those that might be able to see through the curtains at this early hour. She was aware that there were perverts amongst them and they would have no problem using a high powered pair of binoculars or even a telescope to creep into her personal life.

  Judson was wearing a pair of boxer shorts that had this very intricate pattern of red lipstick. It was a valentine’s gift that he had gotten from an old flame. He had no idea of the reason why he kept them, except that he kind of found them cute and very much a conversation piece. “I know all that and I wish that I could get this feeling out of my head, but I don’t think that it’s over. I want to believe that it is, but everything that I have learned has been to the contrary. The man spoke of doing this for money and I think that somebody has been pulling the strings all along. I don’t exactly know what to do, except to continue to live my life, as normally as possible.” Judson was that close to telling her what the text message had said, but he had no idea if the walls had ears.

  Judson really wanted to keep her out of this, but so far that had been an effort in futility. Every time that they turned around, they were in danger and that had turned them into wild animals in the sack. The feel of her skin and the touch of her lips on his body had made him yearn for something that he had never thought possible. He wanted that white picket fence and those two kids running around in the yard with gleeful expressions on their faces. He always thought that being a bachelor was better than being tied down, but now he was rethinking his position.

  “There has to be a reason why you are saying this. I know that we don’t have all the answers and maybe we never will. The person that came after you with that assassin has to know by now that he has failed. You never know, he might tuck his tail between his legs and leave without causing any more mischief.” I want to believe that, but the look in his eyes tells me that he knows something that he doesn’t want to tell me. I wish that he could trust me, but maybe it has nothing to do with trust. It’s possible that he’s trying to protect me. I’m getting a little sick and tired of having somebody thinking that they can look after me better than I can look after myself. Being stabbed and almost killed in the hospital after has certainly given me a thicker skin.”

  She wrapped her hands around Judson’s midsection, feeling the muscular formation of his abdominals and tracing each individual one with a gasp of approval coming from her lips. She got her hand into his boxers to find that the sleeping snake had not awakened with the rest of his body. Even her agile fingers stroking his length did not make his flag salute. There was definitely something going on and it was about time that she threw back the curtain and made him look at her differently.

  “I know how hard this might be to believe, but I’m really not in the mood. I can’t just turn it off and on like a light switch whenever you feel the need to grab onto any part of my body.” He was being a bit defensive, but Samantha had compounded the issue with her oversexed libido out of control.

  “I know that something is wrong and I’m not letting you leave here, until you tell me exactly what’s going on. Stop treating me like I’m fragile or that I’m going to break every time that you turn around. I think that I’ve already proven that I’m tougher than I look and maybe you should top treating me like I’m a doll that you have to put in the closet to protect me.” I really did love him, but he was going to have to start treating me with more respect. We were in this together and he was going to have to learn that having me with him was better than not having me with him.” Samantha’s hand was still around him, but this time it had nothing to do with sexual. It was more of a comforting gesture to let him know that she wasn’t going anywhere.

  “You’re definitely one girl that doesn’t take no for an answer. You are tenacious, stubborn and there are times that I can’t believe that I’ve fallen in love with you.” He had said the words, but this time this was not a knee jerk reaction. This is something that he really did believe deep down in his heart third “God help me, but I think that I found the woman that I want to be by my side in all the trials that I face. It’s going to come, as a bit of a shock to those I have slept with in the past. They won’t believe that I’m finally ready to settle down. They’ll most likely still keep throwing themselves at me, even if they do see a ring on my finger.”

  “I have no delusions that you will have that effect on them. I know that you won’t stray, because you have found something to fight for. I’ll know that you can look, but after everything that is said and done, you’ll be coming home to me. If you are really serious about making this work, then we need to be completely honest with each other and not hold anything back.” “This was his opening and I was waiting with bated breath to see if he was going to walk through that door willingly. If he didn’t, I would pull him through it and make him see me, as somebody that could be relied on in moments of great stress.”

  “I’ve been trying to keep this from you, but you are determined not to let me have any secrets. I know that this isn’t over, because I got a message last night on my phone that was not very pleasant.” Judson opened up his mouth and out came the full extent of what they were dealing with. He did feel a lot better after talking it out with Samantha. Having somebody to talk to was better than letting it fester inside, until it became something ugly. He couldn’t believe that he had actually trusted her, but with everything that they had gone through, it was a wonder that they didn’t admit their feelings sooner.

  “It’s only a threat and right now we have police protection and we should take every advantage of that. Let them know that you’re still worried. I get this feeling that this might have something to do with the big game tonight. I think that somebody wants you to pull back and not do the impossible on that field. If I don’t miss my guess, I would say tha
t your next phone call will be to tell you to do exactly that or face the consequences. It’s going to be a little more difficult for them to follow through on their threat with the police standing in between them and me.” I didn’t want to tell him that I was shaking on the inside, but on the outside I was projecting an air of confidence that I really didn’t feel. I knew that I shouldn’t be afraid and that the police would take care of me, but I had this feeling that wasn’t going to be enough.

  “I think that you might be right and if it comes down to that, then I will have no choice, but to throw the game. I may have a lot riding on this and my team is counting on me, but you mean more to me than some game. I just don’t know how to be something that I’m not. The coach will see right through me and know that there’s something wrong. I can only hope that that phone call doesn’t come. I will do what you say. I’ll tell the police that I’m worried. That’s definitely not going to be a lie.” With the weight of the secret off his shoulders, his manhood had begun to show some signs of life. He was semi erect and growing rapidly.

  “It appears that getting this off your chest was a good thing. I can think of something that we can do for a couple of hours that will get your mind off of this. I’m going to take a shower. I don’t know if you want to join me, but I think that I can make it worth your while.” Unashamed, she dropped the sheet. Walking towards the bathroom, she glanced over her shoulders to see that his mouth was wide open and he was staring at her like there was nothing that he would want to do other than to join her. “I’m sure that there’s more than enough hot water for the both of us. If you scrub my back, I’ll be happy to scrub whatever you want me to scrub.” She was a little bit bolder. With everything that had happened up to this point, she was feeling a little like a new version of herself.
