Rodeo Rancher

by Lauren Wood

  “This place is my fortress and I have several other properties almost exactly like it. I conduct these business transactions once a month and you can imagine how many I have after five years. I will say that Randal was my first and you know what they say about your first. You never forget that one that got you started. He holds a soft spot in my heart, even though I really don’t believe myself to have anything pertaining to a heart.” Caleb walked amongst the grounds, looking at what his money had afforded him over the years and it meant absolutely nothing. These were the trappings of society and those finer things that he found that he couldn’t do without. He loved a good bottle of champagne and a very willing woman that was able to take his mind off of his predilections.

  “You’ve been the thorn in the side of many and I have no idea how to stop you. I stand here and look at you with no remorse and no redemption and it makes me wish that I could get my hands on that gun. It sits there on the table mocking me. It’s the only way that this will end.” “He doesn’t want me to see that something is wrong. Most people have a tell, but I’ve never seen one in him, until right about this moment. There’s no way that Randal could be here, but that doesn’t mean that an enemy hasn’t decided to come calling.” Nicole found herself at the table looking at the gun and wondering if maybe she could pick it up fast enough to use it. She noticed that Caleb was pulling at his collar and undoing the red tie like it was choking him of the air that he needed to breathe. She saw him staring at the gun and when he swallowed, that made her smile by the very idea that he didn’t have those sharpshooters like he had mentioned before.

  “I’m a reasonable man. Take the deal and we can discuss this in five years. I don’t know if I will change my mind, but at least I’m giving you that hope. I’ve never given that to anyone before. You should take that as a compliment. I do request one thing. I hope that it’s not too much to ask, but I would really like one night with you. I want to feel your flesh quiver at my touch and to see your eyes go wide with surprise as I fuck you into that mattress. I want to push my hard cock into you and make you want it. I want you to fight me and make me believe that you don’t want this. It will thrill me to know that you’re willing to give up that piece of yourself. I want you to be disgusted by your own behavior and to be constantly chastising yourself. The guilt will swallow you whole. Anytime that you’re with Randal, you will remember the time that I made you scream my name.”

  Caleb saw no reason to take any chances. Somebody was out there and he had no recourse. He saw Nicole and her beautiful body and the idea of fucking her was too much of a temptation.

  “I don’t know if I should be insulted or complimented. You’re disgusting, but you do raise a valid point. You haven’t left me with many options. I can sleep with you for one night and let you use my body for your own pleasures and then I will have those five years. You’ll come back after that time elapses and we can discuss on whether or not you will fulfill that last part of the contract. I don’t see why you would change your mind, but I don’t think that I’m in a position to look a gift horse in the mouth.” “Sleeping with him is not going to be one of my finest moments. I can probably fake it better than some prostitutes. They get paid for their service and I can only pretend that he’s doing the same thing to me.”

  What Nicole didn’t realize was that Caleb wanted to get out from being a sitting duck in the open. He would rather lose himself in between her supple thighs than to stand here and wait for that inevitable bullet to come sailing across the expanse between where the sharpshooter was and where he was standing.

  “I don’t see a reason why we should wait. I want you and you’re more than willing to shed your dignity for the chance at renegotiating after the five years. I don’t know what this is going to accomplish, but maybe you’ll make me see you, as something different than the others. I don’t feel that same desperation coming off of you in waves. You never came to me and I never came to you. You’re only doing this for Randal and for the chance to make a life for the both of you. Treat this like it’s that movie indecent proposal.”

  Chapter 6

  He made sure to keep her in a position where she was basically his shield from any harm that might be fell him. He was not above letting her take the bullet. Whoever was out there wasn’t about to take the chance of hitting her by accident.

  “The one thing that you have going for you is that you don’t have a bad body. In fact, I would hazard to guess that you are pretty strict on your regiment in the morning. You probably have your own personal trainer that puts you through your paces. I get this feeling that maybe stamina is not a problem for you. You look healthy and alive. I doubt that you need a blue pill to give you that extra little something.” “I think that it’s possible that I can sleep with him and put a different face to the name. Randal will always be the one for me. It’s his humor and his desire to see me smile that makes me think that life has more to offer than misery. I can handle one night with Caleb for the chance at something real and lasting with Randal. I’d rather slit his throat, but I think that he would be too fast for me to do something like that. He needs to be taken by surprise.”

  “You’re definitely not like all the others. I find you intriguing enough that I would like to extend this olive branch, as a sign of good faith.” He stepped up to her and made a big gesture of delicately unveiling her body, until she was only wearing her unmentionables. He kissed her shoulder blade and the salt on her skin made him anxious to get started. He wanted this to last, but it was going to be up to her how far this went and what exactly happened between them. “We never discussed duration or even if anything is off limits. I would like to think that if I’m giving you this chance to negotiate that you would offer me a no holds barred situation.” He was at least going to put it out there and see if she was willing to pick it up.

  “I think that duration is up for grabs. You don’t look like a man that would be satisfied with just one orgasm. You look like the type of man that needs to feed on that pleasure for, as long as possible. The one thing that you haven’t found in this life is someone that can match you in the bedroom. I’ve already shown you that your money and this deal mean absolutely nothing to me. I could easily walk away, but you have already stated that our lives would be forfeited. As for what is off limits, I would like to leave that up to your imagination. I will tell you if something doesn’t feel right and I will expect that you won’t push it any further. We can treat this like a business transaction.” “I don’t know why he’s even giving me a choice. We could’ve gone into the bedroom and he could’ve taken me this way to Sunday. I would be practically his prisoner in the sheets. I don’t like this, but he’s not exactly Quasimodo. I can see underneath his suit that he’s pretty put together. I don’t know if Randal will look at me the same way after doing something like this, but it’s a risk that I’m willing to take.”

  The feel of his lips on her skin made her want to push his face away. It was not the act that made her cringe, but it was the person that was performing it. She felt vulnerable standing there like his personal sex robot. He took her hand and she allowed him to drag her up the staircase, until they were entering into a boudoir that was made for lovers.

  “This is where the magic happens. Let me light a few candles and turn down the bed.” He extinguished the light overhead and the candlelight was now giving off this romantic glow. He pulled the drapes to prevent any unwanted visitors, especially in the variety of a bullet with his name on it.

  He stood in front of her admiring her body and the swell of her breasts. The cups of her bra were barely able to contain what she had to offer. He plucked the button on the back and with it came the revelation of her wonderful tits. Those nipples topped the mountain and were large enough that they made him hunger for the chance to inhale each one. He clicked his tongue to the top of his mouth and very quickly disrobed her of the underwear. It was the last obstacle in his way and now it was around her ankles. He circled her and upraised t
he property.

  Slapping her ass made her jump almost out of her skin. She did squeal a little bit, but then she held her tongue. She found that her need to stay in control was the one thing that he wanted to take away.

  He grabbed one of his silk ties, a fluorescent yellow one and grabbed her hands and pulled them around her body.

  The blindfold was next and she was essentially blind and unable to see what he was going to do. She didn’t like putting that kind of control in his hands. It looked like he was ready to unmask the kinky perversions in his mind.

  She was guided by his hand, until she was bending over the bed with her screams for mercy now echoing in the room. He was slapping her ass and making it red and hot to the touch. The pain was unbearable, but she endured and tried to think of anything that would help her to float above her own body.

  “I can’t see how it’s much of a surprise that I’m a bit sadistic in the bedroom. I’ve always liked to make a woman my bitch and to give them that memory that they would never be able to wipe from their minds.” Caleb had his cock in his hand and he was stroking it in the same rhythm of the sound of those slaps hitting her bare skin. Having her naked like this and willing to take whatever she was going to get was better than paying for it any day. There were those that made it look like it was no big deal and that was not what he was looking for in a partner.

  “I hope you know that you are a bastard and that you deserve to rot in hell for everything that you are doing to me and to all those people that had the misfortune of meeting you. Fuck…you know that hurts… Jesus Christ… I don’t know how much more I can take of this.” “The last time that I had seen Randal was when I pushed him into the closet and left him there. I have no idea if he was able to get out, or if he was still in there getting angrier by the second. I really didn’t want to be in front of anybody that came in front of his path after he was released from that prison. Caleb is sadistic and he has a real mean streak that I find is testing my patience.”

  “You don’t know what it does to me to hear you say these things to me. I don’t think that I’ve ever had my cock this hard before. I should’ve been trying something like this a long time ago. I won’t make that mistake again.” He lined his cock up against her hole and found that he wanted to do this with nothing to help her to take the 8 inch hammer between his legs.

  Nicole could feel that hardness pressed up against her and she braced herself for what was to come. There was something behind her and then there was this loud thud. That soft and pliable top had now been replaced by a very agile tongue. She heard what sounded like an anguished cry of pain and it wasn’t coming from her lips.

  “I don’t know what made you do that, but I think that it might be out of character for you. I would’ve thought that you would’ve wanted to dry hump me, but you surprised me.” Nicole felt that tongue darting in and out of her like a snake. It seemed almost familiar, but she really didn’t give it much thought. “I wasn’t expecting him to be this nice about it. After being spanked for over a minute, I really did believe that he was just going to slip it into me without even getting me the least bit excited. I’m glad that he had a change of heart, but that doesn’t really mesh with what I know about the man.”

  A few minutes before that, Randal had just finished with the last of the sharpshooters. He had snuck up on all of them without them even being aware that he was going to be the hand of god. He slit their throats. The first one was hesitant, but the next two were easier than expected.

  He grabbed for the gun of the last sharpshooter and prepared to send Caleb to his maker. He had the shot lined up, but then he moved in between Nicole to avoid any kind of contact. He must’ve gotten suspicious when the lights from the scopes went out.

  He was still too far away, but he heard everything that was being said through a two way communication that was in this man’s ear. He looked down at the blood on his hands and felt a sort of calm come over him from knowing that he had done what he needed to protect the person that he loved the most. He did not enjoy the way that Caleb taunted Nicole into going into the bedroom with him. He was going to have to get down there. He was in remarkable shape. He took off at a full sprint, until he was at the threshold to the house.

  He was about to go through the door, but he thought better of it. He found an open window and shimmied through to the other side into what amounted to a laundry room. He heard Nicole scream and continued to scream on and off for the next minute. His anger welled up inside and he felt this red hot rage that he could not contain in the bowels of his stomach. He didn’t rush things. He moved with cautious care up the staircase, until he was standing and looking at Caleb bare ass about to pierce the interior of his beloved.

  He looked at Nicole in her vulnerable state and decided to act without thinking. There was no hesitation this time, as he wrapped one of Caleb’s own silk ties around his throat. He felt his fingers scratching at his hand, but the pain was nothing compared to the satisfaction that he felt by taking this man’s life. He lifted him off his feet and the strangled breath that Caleb was trying to force into his lungs was not making any headway.

  Caleb knew that he was in trouble and he looked around frantically for something that he could use to defend himself. He had to let go of the instrument of his own demise. He didn’t want to, but it was necessary to reach out for the one thing that might be in his reach. He had his hand grazing the vase, but it became something of a mocking gesture. It was the one thing that he could use to break this man grip and he was a fraction of an inch away from using it.

  Randal used every muscle in his body and eventually Caleb succumbed to lack of oxygen. Randal closed his eyes and forced himself to stand there for a good minute to make sure that this man wasn’t going to get up. He let him go like a sack of cement that landed on the floor in front of him. He touched his neck for a pulse and found none.

  He was about to inform Nicole that she was safe, but he suddenly had a better idea. Seeing her trussed up and blindfolded had put that extra bit of lead down below where it matter the most.

  Back in the present, he was tongue fucking her hole and then stood with his hand unzipping his pants. He was about to fuck her, but he didn’t think that it would be right without telling her before hand that her worst nightmare was over. “Nicole, you don’t have to worry about him anymore. He’s not going to hurt anyone ever again.”

  “Randal, is that… YOUUUUUUUU?” she felt him slide into home plate. “I never thought it would be possible that we could get out from underneath this. I’m not ashamed to say that I’m grateful for his assistance. I really didn’t want to go through with that, but I didn’t see any way that I was going to get out of it.”

  “I hope that you don’t mind. I thought that I would take over where he left off. Your body has always been something that I have a need for. When I took my first bite of the forbidden fruit, I knew that I was never going to be happy without another helping. I’m watching myself fuck you and I see my cock covered in your love and I know that this is right. This is justice and this is something that I should never be ashamed of.” He was holding onto her hips and slamming up against your hot and heavy. He was biting her ear and whispering to her how many times he would want to make her cum.

  “You are about to get your fucking wish… I’m cumming.” “I was scared that this was going to happen with Caleb, but I guess I didn’t have anything to worry about. I should be angry with him for taking advantage of me like this, but it feels too damn good to be anything but happy.” Her head was lying half sideways on the mattress with him continually pounding her. She couldn’t reach back and cradle his balls, but it was that sense of confinement that was all that much more thrilling.

  “You’re…ahhh…. not the only one…not by a fucking long shot… AHHHHHH.” Randal threw his head back. He was doing everything he could not to put any pressure on the ankle that he had taped up. It was a little awkward, but the pleasure was running upstream against the vodka tha
t he had poured down his throat, as a form of self medication.

  He finally untied her and after searching the whole house, they were able to find his ledger of those that had fallen victim to his wily ways. They also found the deed to the house and using a fair amount of money had that changed over to Randal’s name. It wasn’t just this house, but there were several others. They had decided to put most of them up on the market. They would all fetch a mighty dollar and the investment that Caleb had put into them had paid off in big dividends. They weren’t expecting this kind of windfall, but they weren’t going to be greedy. They decided to donate half of the profits to worthy causes. This money might have come from a man that had no scruples, but at least it was going to do some good.

  They went ahead and contacted all those that were waiting for that death knell to come calling. They gave them the good news and they could hear the sigh of relief coming over the end of the line. They were even able to siphon his accounts. They couldn’t get all of them, but they had several millions and more than enough to live their life in each other arms in luxury.

  It wasn’t long before she found out that she was with child and this was what she had always wanted. This was the perfect symphony and him standing beside her gave her the courage to believe in happy endings.
