Under His Holster [Winchester, Arizona 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage and More)

by Zoey Marcel

  “Let go or I’ll tear them off.”

  Tears rolled down her cheeks. He smelled so good and she wanted to claim him. Why did this asshole have to be another one of her mates? He didn’t know this and she’d never tell him, but she was afraid he’d see how damp she was if the underwear came off.

  “Not my panties. Please.”

  He moved her hand and yanked them down. The wolf inside her seemed to roar to life, fighting to climb to the surface and bite the son of a bitch. She wanted to mate with him even as she wanted to slap him silly. God help her if she claimed him.

  Her rump was exposed to him and he spanked her several more times and used his legs to force her thighs apart.

  “You’ve had this coming for a long time. Now you can’t say you’re any better. You’re married and you’re getting fucked by others.”

  What the hell was he babbling about? She wasn’t married yet. Her body flinched when he caressed her flaming buttocks before dipping lower to palm her perineum.

  “You like it when I play with your taint, don’t you, whore?”

  She suppressed a moan and squeezed her vagina in a feeble attempt to keep her juices inside. “No. I despise you.”

  His heartless snicker seemed out of character, and she got an eerie feeling as though she were actually with someone else right now instead of Stetson. “Doesn’t matter. You’ll come for us anyway.”

  Us? What the hell was wrong with him? It was just the two of them right now. Was he secretly a lunatic? Maybe she ought to tell his brothers so he could get some kind of medication.

  Mate or not, she didn’t know how she felt about having sex with a crazy man. What if he hurt her?

  “Stetson, I don’t know what the hell is wrong with you, but you’re starting to scare me.”

  Jade squealed and felt a wild bolt of energy charge through her when he covered her mouth with his hand. She was so turned on and scared, her inner wolf wrestled with the need to claim him and the urge to defend herself against his sudden shift in personality.

  She didn’t know him very well, but she had a strong feeling that this person holding her down and wanting to hurt her wasn’t the real Stetson. She didn’t know what wave of madness had suddenly overtaken him, but something was terribly wrong with him right now.

  “Good. I want you to be scared,” he murmured in a threatening tone that gave her chills. “I’ve wanted you for years, and now I’ve got you right where I want you.”

  Years? They’d only known each other for a couple of weeks. She got an eerie feeling when something told her that Stetson wasn’t actually talking to her right now. He was talking to someone else, but who?

  He pressed his crotch up against her ass, and she felt his enormous erection prodding at her through his jeans. “Feel how hard I am for you? You want my cock, don’t you?”

  He moved his hand from her mouth and she trembled. “What is wrong with you?”

  His hand clutched her throat and he squeezed a light warning against it. “Say you want my cock.”

  “I want your cock,” Jade whispered. She did, but she didn’t. Fate clearly wasn’t in her favor, bestowing her with a crazy man for a mate.

  “You’re crying because you’re weak and afraid. You should be,” he warned as his fingers skimmed through her soaked folds. “We’re gonna mess you up good. You’ll never be the same again, ever.”

  Again with the we. Why did he keep referring to himself as multiple entities? Why the fuck wasn’t her cunt as afraid of him as the rest of her? His damned finger did a fine job of making her want him while the rest of her freaked out inside over his sudden bout of insanity.

  “We made you hard.” His finger fondled a gentle circle over her engorged clit, making her moan softly. “Your mother would be ashamed of you.”

  Jade shuddered at this and suddenly felt ashamed. She didn’t remember her mother, but his taunting made her feel weak and helpless. She felt scared and dirty the more he touched her, though her wolf was thrilled with the sexual contact.

  His palm covered her mouth again and a finger from his other hand pierced into her slick channel. She jolted and whimpered as he fucked his digit up into her and ground his dick against her ass through his jeans. Her vagina clutched and released his finger in acceptance of him as she coated his finger in her arousal.

  Stetson breathed into her ear. “You like that, don’t you, fucker?”

  She shivered and felt her body surrendering to the terrifying cowboy.

  Suddenly the thrusting in her pussy stopped and he stepped backward, dislodging his finger from her snatch. She turned to look at him and saw him backing away from her slowly with a look of complete shock on his handsome face. He appeared just as stunned as she was by his actions, but there was something else hovering in his brown eyes. He looked…haunted.

  Stetson turned, grabbed his brown cowboy hat, and rushed out of the house, leaving her alone with her pants down.

  Jade stood there in astonishment for a moment before pulling her panties and jeans back on. What the hell just happened between them?

  * * * *

  Doc got home around sunset. Dark storm clouds were setting in and the rumble of thunder could be heard across the sky. He loved thundershowers, but in this troubling moment the approaching storm seemed to echo the turmoil in his soul.

  He saw Jade walking swiftly through the desert after he got out of the truck. She seemed like she was on a mission, but she didn’t really look like she was going anywhere in particular.

  “Jade!” He trotted after her, but she kept going. He called her name again, knowing that she heard it by the tiny way she jumped, but still she wouldn’t stop. He quickened his pace and grabbed her by the arm. “Jade, stop. I’m talking to you. Darlin’, what’s wrong?”

  Her eyes were filled with tears and she mewled in misery as her head drooped. “What’s wrong with me, Doc?”

  “What are you talking about? There’s nothing wrong with you.”

  She started to weep. “Yes, there is. Why do I want to fuck everybody and bite them?”

  He gave her a teasing smile. “Everybody, huh?”

  Her pretty blue eyes rolled a little. “Well, not everybody. Just you, Sawyer, and Kellan. And Stetson.”

  She sobbed audibly now and her eyelids descended to milk the droplets from her eyes.

  Doc pulled her into his arms and she cried on his chest while he rubbed her back gently and crooned to her. “It’s all right. There’s nothing wrong with being attracted to more than one person, and you do have that horny wolf thing that tries to take over you and tell you who to bite. That’s not your fault. Nobody blames you for it.”

  “But I don’t even like Stetson,” she wailed. “Yeah, he’s handsome and hot, but he’s an asshole and he doesn’t respect me.”

  Doc felt a glimmer of hope. “Do you want him to respect you?”

  She stiffened in his arms and hesitated before answering. “No.”

  “It sounds like you do.”

  “Well, you’re wrong.” She pulled away from him and wiped the tearstains from her cheeks. “He’s been nothing but rude and mean to me since I got here. Frankly I don’t know what you see in him, aside from his good looks.”

  Doc’s heart skipped a beat. “He’s my best friend.”

  Her head lifted and she looked at him seriously. “Doc, the cat’s out of the bag. I saw the picture you hid of him under your holster. I know you feel something for him.”

  Oh crap, my cover’s been blown.

  “Don’t tell him. Please.” He’d never begged anyone for anything in his life, but he was more than willing to get down on his hands and knees and beg Jade for her silence if he had to.

  “Do you love him?”

  “What does it matter?”

  “I want to know,” she stubbornly persisted.

  He heaved a sigh and looked to the ground for refuge. “Yes, I love him.”

  “Then why don’t you tell him?”

  “It’s not
that simple.”

  “Yes, it is. If you love someone, you should tell them.”

  “He’s straight, Jade. He’d throw me out of the house if he knew how I felt about him.” A dull ache crept into his chest at his own words. “Besides, I only have a short time left. I don’t want to ruin our friendship over his rejection.”

  “Is he one of your soul mates?”

  Doc nodded.

  “Who’s the other one?” Jade looked like she already knew the answer.

  “It doesn’t matter. I can never be with either of them.” He took a deep breath to keep from revealing too much emotion to her. “Did you see anything else under my holster?”

  Her full lips quirked into a tiny smile. “I saw an envelope with my name on it. What’s in it?”

  He shrugged. “Oh, it’s just a little something I got for you is all.”

  “Can I see it?”

  “Follow me.” He gave a sideways nod of his head and took a step in the direction of the house.

  She made a face. “I’d rather just wait here if it’s all the same to you.”

  He wasn’t sure why she said that, but he acquiesced. “Suit yourself. I’ll be back in a minute.”

  Doc went into the house and got the envelope from his room. He wandered back outside, feeling tiny drops ping onto his skin from above. He returned to Jade and handed her the envelope just as it started to drizzle softly on them.

  “That was really sweet of you to get me a gift.” She carefully tore open the flap and pulled out the jade heart locket that he had bought for her. Her lips parted and her eyes began to mist again. “Oh Doc, it’s gorgeous.”

  He smiled and took it from her so he could put it on her. “I figured jade was fitting for you.”

  “It’s perfect. Thank you.” She sounded choked up as he fastened the clasp in back.

  “I wanted to give you something to remember me by…when I’m gone,” he said, trying to keep the sorrow out of his tone. The attempt was useless.

  “Is that why it’s heart shaped?” she asked quietly.

  Doc lowered his hands from her nape to keep from touching her like he wanted to. He probably should have opted for a necklace with a less amorous charm on it. “Lockets are generally heart shaped, Jade.”

  “But not always,” she countered knowingly.

  His mind bellowed at him to throw on his mask of horny bastard male to make her think he only wanted sex from her. It was the only way to spare her any pain from his inevitable death. His stupid heart refused to go along with his brain’s little plan. He simply gazed into her beseeching eyes as she turned around to face him.

  “Doc, I know we promised not to fall in love with each other—”

  “Don’t,” he warned in a thin tone.

  Perhaps he’d made a mistake in buying her a locket and spending so much time with her. Now they would both get hurt when the time came for them to say good-bye forever.

  “But I can’t help it.”

  “That’s enough out of you.”

  Jade burst into tears again and closed her eyes. Her lovely countenance contorted like she was in extreme pain. “I can’t let you die without saying it.”

  Her eyes opened again, and he wondered if she could see him through all the tears. His tone lowered and conveyed his solemn spirit. “You made me a promise, Jade.”

  A fresh tear rolled down her cheek as her hush became a whisper. “I can’t keep it.”

  An achy lump formed in his throat and his eyes began to prickle like leg cramps. “I’m not going to let you break it. You’re going to be a good girl and keep your heart out of this. And when Bane gets back you’re going to leave with him and forget all about me.”

  “No. I’m not.” She shook her head and wept all the more. “I won’t forget you.”

  “Yes, you will. You’re going to live a long, happy life with him, and you’re going to make lots of beautiful babies.”

  He cursed himself for the moisture that started to rise up from his ducts. Fucking emotions betraying how he really felt. Screw them. He wouldn’t lose control. She would never know the depth of his love for her.

  “I want to make your babies, too,” she told him. “I want to see a cute little Doc running around and raise him with you.”

  “That’s not going to happen.”

  “It could if you let me bite you.”

  He shook his head and glanced up at the sky, feeling weary and more than a little bitter. “It won’t work, Jade. Trust me, I know.”

  “You don’t know anything. My bite could heal you. Let me claim you.” She clung to him with a crazed look of desperation.

  “I already got claimed earlier by a donkey shifter. And guess what, woman. It didn’t cure me. I’m still sick, and whether you like it or not I’m going to die.”

  Her eyes widened and the jealousy in them pleased him. “Somebody claimed you already? Tell me who the bitch is.”

  “It doesn’t matter who it is. The point is I was right all along. Being claimed won’t change anything. And for all I know the idiot probably extended my life and now I might have to live with this disease for a few more years rather than getting some peace from death. The little imp said I’d live longer, but time will tell.”

  “You’re my mate,” Jade said angrily as she forced the button and zipper apart on his fly and yanked his pants and boxers down together. “No one else’s. You shouldn’t have let her claim you.”

  She dropped to her knees and played with his balls. He moaned when she began stroking his cock as well.

  “It wasn’t my fault. How was I to know he would kick me in the nuts? Thank God I healed right away.” He pushed into her hand more, feeling his organs teem with life over the illicit contact.

  She peeked up at him with a naughty smile. “He?”

  “Shit,” Doc muttered and then sighed. “Yes, dear, it was a man. Let’s keep this between us, all right?”

  “I might if you tell me where you met him.”

  He hesitated. “I’d rather not say.”

  “Hm, then I just might have to tell your friends all about your bisexuality.”

  Her teeth grazed his scrotum, creating a powerful prickling sensation that zinged all throughout his genitals. “Are you blackmailing me, woman?”

  “Call it what you want. I think I have a right to know where my mate met my competition.”

  “I met him at Swifty’s, and that’s all I’m going to say. If you suck my cock, I’ll spare you the spanking for blackmailing me.”

  She smiled and peppered his shaft with delicate kisses with her soft, warm lips. “Deal.”

  Doc came up on his toes for a second when she took his cock into her mouth and sucked him hard. He threw his head back, enjoying the sudden downpour that showered them with wetness and soaked their clothes.

  If there was life after this, he knew he’d always remember this moment with her. The way Jade looked with her eyes closed as she made love to his dick was soul moving. Her cock sucking seemed more like worship than a casual blow job, and it touched every place inside of him.

  He pulled her to her feet and jerked her into a kiss. Their hands seemed to move like the lightning his closed eyes could sense in the background to get each other’s clothes off. He ravaged her mouth repeatedly and they tumbled to the ground together when they were completely undressed.

  He recalled vaguely that she was on the pill as he jabbed his penis into her drenched cunt and began to fuck her rapidly. She moved her hips against him and ran her hands up and down his taut arms and his back as he hovered over her to shield her from the rain.

  The heavy sound of their shallow breaths and harsh grunts electrified his senses, and he pumped into her faster. Her skin was cool and slick from being rained on, but it felt glorious molded into his own flesh. Her short black hair was damp, and it collected dust as he rocked into her body with considerable force.

  The jade heart locket looked fetching against her skin, and it was fitting to see her wearin
g the heart he gave her around her neck. She would always have it even long after he was gone.

  She seemed as smothered with arousal as he was. Either he was hitting her G-spot or the intensity of their lovemaking had completely consumed her as it had him. He came far too quickly and pulled her into him tightly, holding her close as if to do so would keep them together for always. He came harder than he had in ages.

  It didn’t make sense to him for the climax with her to be more powerful than when her tight pussy was made even snugger with another cock in her ass. That had never been the case with the women in his past.

  But somehow to be the only man holding the woman he loved in his arms was an incomparable feeling to equal if not surpass having a ménage with her. Bane would always know her like this. He was a lucky man, and in that moment Doc found himself envying Bane to the point of hatred.

  Doc spilled his seed into Jade and gave several hard shoves into her with his erection. He wanted to drive his semen deep into her, and there was a part of him that cursed those little white pills she took that prevented him from planting a descendent in her womb to remember him by.

  He huffed and panted, trying to keep from coughing as he stared down at the face of the angel who stole his soul. He might covet what Bane had, but now Doc could fully understand why the soldier wanted Jade all to himself.

  She stared up into his eyes, breathing unevenly as the tears spilled from her eyes again. Her hand ran along his jawline and her voice came out soft and sincere. “I love you, Doc.”

  He knew she meant it. The way she said it and the look in her eyes—there was no faking that.

  “I love you, too, Jade,” he whispered as he coursed his fingers through her damp hair. There was dirt caked into it now, but he didn’t care. She was stunning to him.

  “I can’t leave you.” She started to sob and clung to him tightly. “I know it’s selfish of me, but I want you. You’re my mate, and I have a feeling that I still would have fallen for you even if I wasn’t a wolf shifter.”

  Doc held her tight and closed his eyes. His heart ached at the thought of saying good-bye and the way his penis began to go flaccid. He yearned to stay hard and buried deep in her pussy forever, but the cold reality was that they had their run and now it was time to say good-bye. His deflating cock knew it even if his smitten heart would never understand it.
