“Yes.” Her pulse raced.
He sighed and looked off in the other direction. “I got a fire started and laid out a blanket for us.”
“Huh?” She threw him a sideways glance. “And just what are you expecting to do on that blanket?”
He blushed. “Sit. Look at stars. They’re really pretty up here this close to heaven.” He was so adorable Maddie’s heart felt as if it might swell up into her throat and choke her.
“Hmm, tempting, but I dunno. You did say something about a spanking.” She felt a slight twinge of guilt for teasing him but not enough to stop.
“Which one will get you to come out? If I promise to do it or not to do it?”
She laughed. “Guess.”
He smirked. “To tell the truth, I’ve never lifted a hand to a woman and I don’t intend to start. Well, unless you beg for it.” He bowed his head slightly, flashing bedroom eyes her way.
Beg? Not fucking likely. “I’m not the one trying to coax you out of your cozy den. Therefore, I’m not the one who needs to be doing the pleading.”
He set his mouth in a line as he tugged at his earlobe. “Maddie, I didn’t want to resort to bribery, but I brought marshmallows and graham crackers.”
Her ears perked up and her mouth watered. “I’ll be right out.” She unzipped her tent completely.
Abram pushed a marshmallow onto a skewer and handed it to Maddie before fixing his own. As she roasted her treat, the fire crackled and illuminated her pretty features. She ran her hand through her windblown hair, leaving her long, dark locks spilling down over her shoulders. I can’t believe I told her I like her. I have no game whatsoever.
She happily heated her marshmallow until it looked like a piece of coal. He held his sugary goodie over the flames as she removed hers. As he watched her blow on her blackened snack, the pucker of her sexy, pink lips excited him, quickening his pulse.
Why can’t I play it cool? After the sun went down, the temperature dropped, but he was sweating and his cock was so stiff it hurt. Her scent was driving him nuts, and the horse inside of him was in a tizzy. I want her so damn bad.
She smashed the white centered blob between two graham crackers before taking a bite. “Oh, my God!”
He tensed. “Too hot?”
“So freakin’ delicious. Hurry up and fix yours. This sort of oral-tactile sensation should be a shared experience.”
He chuckled. “Yeah, okay.” He grabbed a couple of graham crackers from the small container he’d packed and sandwiched his molten sugar glob between them.
“Alright, ready? On three.” Her facial features were bright with excited energy, her cheeks pushing upwards into a huge grin. “One…”
“Two…”
In unison, they chanted, “Three.”
Abram kept his gaze trained on her as she bit down. The sugary taste in his mouth didn’t compare to the sight of her as she closed her eyes and savored the morsel. His dick twitched and throbbed as he watched her chew, particularly as the tip of her tongue slipped between her lips and lapped at the sweetness.
She blinked as she swallowed. “Mmm.” Her smile brightened her face. “Good huh?”
His heart leaped. “Amazing.”
After she finished her snack, Maddie reached into her knapsack and retrieved a zip-lock bag. “What some beef jerky?”
“Heck yeah.” He held out his hand.
She presented the bag, and he reached inside pulling out a piece of the seasoned, dehydrated meat.”
“Do you need water?” He lifted his canteen.
“I’ve got some.”
Once the evening sky took over any visible clouds, Maddie reclined on the blanket and gazed upward. Abram joined her, resting on his back. “What are we looking at?”
She pointed toward a patch of stars above. “Do you see anything? I’ve never been good at picking out which ones formed a particular constellation.”
He aimed a finger upward. “I think that’s Scorpio.”
She looked around. “Where?”
The luminous spheres glittered like diamonds and seemed so close it was almost as if he could reach up and pluck them right out of the sky. He took her finger and trained it directly at one of the stars. “That one right there is the tip of its tail.” He touched his index finger to the side of her pointer while curving the rest of his fingers around her palm but leaving her thumb extended. As if he were drawing in the sky, he made a line connecting one star to the next. “From there, you go down and then crook around along these fellows until you go back up, up and up.” Each time he said up, he pointed at a different star. I reckon this puts you at the head.”
“Wow, I see it now.” He turned and glanced at her smiling face, but he didn’t release her hand. Instead, he entwined their fingers. As their gazes locked, a spine-tingling shudder ran up his back. He leaned in and she lifted her chin and closed her eyes. As their lips locked a jolt of exhilaration surged up from his core.
He let go of her hand as he turned on his side, but she jumped into action, rolled him onto his back, and straddled him. He sat up, hugging her chest to his. He plunged his tongue into her mouth, exploring before meeting with hers in a playful dance and stirring a wave of saliva.
As she pulled away from the kiss, disappointment swarmed his senses until he realized she was yanking her shirt off over her head. Her white bra cupped her large breasts, leaving only a small portion exposed, but it was enough to send a throbbing need into his groin.
He captured her lips again as he palmed one of her soft, round mounds, gently kneading. Her scent caught in his nostrils. Delicious. She unbuttoned his shirt before he pushed it open and jerked the garment over his shoulders and then down his arms, letting go of her just long enough to free himself.
He groaned as she ran her palms over his pecs and abdomen, her nails lightly scratching the exposed flesh. The pleasurable sensation sent shivers along his skin, raising the hairs on his arms. He closed his eyes and lifted his chin. “Mmm!”
Maddie nuzzled at his neck as he valiantly fought the evil hook-and-eye clasps keeping her beautiful nipples hidden. He couldn’t wait to see, touch and taste them. As he claimed his victory, a huge grin spread across his face. He pulled the straps down her arms and the undergarment fell on his stomach.
Abram toppled as she pushed him down, his back flat on the ground as her palms compressed his chest. He grinned as her full breasts hung down over his face. Going right for them, he grabbed one in each hand while lifting his head and encircling one of the hardened pink buds with his lips.
She groaned and ground denim on denim as he sucked. His cock stiffened, fighting his jeans as the friction continued. He released her nipple just long enough to utter a guttural growl before seeking out and tasting the other bud.
He moved his hands to her ass, grasping at each cheek and squeezing as she rubbed her groin against his. Her moans resonated in the air all around them. After he fixed his gaze on her, he relaxed his body on the blanket and panted for air. Maddie closed her eyes and opened her mouth. Her bottom lip curled slightly as her dark locks fluttered around in time with her lustful ride.
While watching her enraptured expression, his dick grew so hard the zipper began to irritate him through his underwear. He unfastened the button, alleviating a little of the pressure but not enough. He placed the tips of his fingers at the crotch of Maddie’s jeans, wedging them between her thighs at the area of contact as he desperately attempted to catch his breath. She lifted up just enough for him to slide his palm between and cup her pussy while he unzipped his pants. “That’s better.”
After unbuttoning her jeans, he tugged them down her hips. She jumped up to her feet, and then pushed her pants down around her ankles. As she kicked them off, along with her boots, Abram shed his shoes and jeans as well.
Maddie dropped to her knees, and he pulled her to him. Frantically, she threw her arms around his neck. Their lips collided, opening, tongues rushing forward seeking and exploring. He ro
lled over on top of her before mapping out her curves with his hands, caressing every mound, fold, and valley of her flesh.
He couldn’t get enough of her kisses. As he went in for more, she lifted her head and parted the seam of her mouth, her warm breath welcoming him just before they connected. Their tongues twirled and twisted as their bodies pressed together.
Abram ran a hand up her thigh and then caressed her pussy over her panties, mapping the folds. She melted beneath his touch, soaking the material between her legs with her warm juices. As she groaned and squirmed, he strummed her clit.
He looked at her face as he hooked his fingers under the sides of her pink bikini underwear and pulled them down over her hips. As she lifted to help him, her eyes were dewy and a rosy glow lit up her cheeks. She mewed and panted while reaching out and then grasping his cock, squeezing it over his boxer shorts. He groaned as she yanked at the waistband, releasing his length. “Mmm.”
As his cock jutted forward, she gasped and her eyes widened. She ogled at his erection. “Oh, my.”
He puffed out his chest. “That’s right.”
“Whoa.” She licked her bottom lip. “Well, break out a magnum.”
As soon as she said the condom’s name brand, his heart sunk. “Shit.” He palmed his face. “I didn’t bring anything.”
She groaned and grimaced. “No way!”
He sat up and growled with disappointment. “This was a business outing. I wasn’t expecting…” She held up a palm, indicating he should stop talking. He shrugged. “I don’t suppose you have one?”
“If I did, I’d already be rolling it down over this.” She grasped the base of his shaft and stroked it upwards, palming the head before sliding her hand down the length again. He inhaled sharply and moaned through gritted teeth.
“I guess there’s only one thing to do.” He got down on his belly as he grasped her thighs, pushing his head between them. His mouth molded to her damp pussy, and she gasped before resting her legs on his shoulders. His tongue traced her tender folds and teased the swollen bud above them. She arched her back, pushing her cunt toward his face. He flicked his tongue up and down and then back and forth as she squirmed and squealed.
“Oh, yeah. So good!” She grasped his hair, her nails nipping at his scalp. As he sucked her clit, her thighs tightened around his cheeks. He explored with his fingers, finding her slick opening and slowly entering, just one digit to start and then a second. She clenched against them, her sweet cream dripping on his palm.
A sharp tug on his hair forced him to stop and lift his head. He looked into her eyes as he caught his breath. “What’s the matter?”
“This doesn’t seem quite fair. Roll over.” He complied without making a fuss. No sooner than his back hit the ground, she was straddling his face, bending over as she grabbed his cock and brought it to her tongue.
“Oh, hell yeah!” Abram sucked in his breath as warm wetness slathered over the tip of his dick and soon spread downward as far as Maddie’s little mouth would allow. She grasped the base, stroking the area left uncovered by her warm breath. Her head bobbed up and down as she sucked. He closed his eyes. “Mmm, that’s so good.”
Her pussy enhanced his line of vision, tempting him with glistening pinkness. He lifted up and tasted her, pressing a kiss against her smooth folds. His tongue scouted out the terrain and keyed in on the best spots based on how she squawked and shuddered.
Maddie’s soft lips massaged his erection as her tongue flicked just below the glans. A coiling tightness started in his belly, straining down to his groin as the pleasure neared climax. She slathered saliva over the head as she slurped, releasing him with a slight smacking sound. He groaned as her tongue twirled around the crown and then teased the shaft before engulfing him again.
Warm waves of bliss overwhelmed him as surges of ecstasy drew him closer to the abyss with every deep pull toward the back of Maddie’s throat. He uttered guttural noises as he clenched his abdominal muscles.
He swallowed before redirecting his efforts to her velvety smooth pussy, covering the lips with his saliva and tracing them with his tongue before lapping at her swollen clit. She moaned as he penetrated her with his index and middle fingers. He explored her with vigor, wiggling and pumping his long digits until she stopped sucking, forced to cry out as he hit the special spot deep inside her.
Maddie panted and purred as she stroked his cock from root to tip. Her tongue managed to tap the cap a couple of times, but as soon as his fingertips struck her sweet spot again, she’d lose focus and cry out. He sucked her clit vigorously while pummeling the sensitive region with pinpoint accuracy. She threw her head back and moaned as her pussy clamped his digits and her thighs trembled against the sides of his face. Her sweet juices flowed down, drenching his fingers, mouth, and chin as her body quivered in orgasm.
After she recovered from the aftershocks, Maddie leaned forward. Her warm breath covered Abram’s dick, and he closed his eyes, sighing in bliss as she devoured the first inch of his erection. He tilted his head back and lifted his chin, smiling as she sheathed his shaft in sultry heat. He bucked his hips in time with her movements and when she caressed his scrotum, rolling the sack in her palm, he gulped air. Irresistible surges of pleasure created an intense pressure. Abram grunted. “Can’t…Maddie, I’m gonna.”
He half expected her to abandon his member to the cool air and finish with her hand, but she sucked him in deep, hallowing her cheeks. Her tongue flickered, hitting a responsive area. He quivered as his climax burst forward to christen the back of her throat. Trying to catch his breath, he inhaled sharply, but Maddie didn’t miss a beat. She sucked him dry and then pulled her sweet lips all the way up over his glans, licking until there was surely not a drop remaining. Her mouth made a smacking noise as she released him.
Slowly, she turned around to look at him. Her flushed cheeks were beautiful by the light of the fire, and he could tell her pupils were dilated before she looked away shyly. “Water?”
Abram grabbed his canteen and handed it to her. She took a long swig, her throat moving as she gulped down the liquid. He reached out and caressed the side of her waist. “That was amazing.”
She swallowed. “You were good too.”
He beckoned her with open arms. “Com’ere.”
She smiled as she snuggled against his left flank. He cupped her cheek and kissed her. After she broke their loving smooch, she pursed her lips and averted her gaze before pressing the side of her cheek on his chest.
After witnessing her bashful expression, Abram’s heart pounded. He stroked a strand of her hair. “Did I mention I like you?”
Maddie woke up resting on Abram’s broad chest with her arm draped around his waist. Yawning as she sat up, she watched him sleep and listened to the mild sound of him breathing as she inhaled deeply to savor his scent. The fire had died down to nearly nothing, but she could still see his ruggedly handsome bone structure. Gorgeous. She resisted the urge to touch him. If he woke up, she’d want to finish what they started.
Technically, they had both reached their conclusions, but she longed to have him inside of her, filling her pussy with his huge cock. She squeezed her thighs together remembering how wide she’d had to open her mouth to take in his full girth. The cool air and the absence of a properly stoked fire chilled her skin, but the area between her legs and her core sweltered as an antsy energy compelled her to make a move. If she didn’t get away from him and burn off some of her vitality, she’d be in a fix.
She hopped up and slipped off into the shadows cast by the old cabin. She regarded the moon’s light as she crouched, moving her head from side-to-side. She rolled her shoulders just as the process began. The popping and clicking noises associated with the shifting process resonated all around her. She bared her teeth just before they transformed into sharpened points. As she pushed her fingers down on the ground, her hands became paws, her claws scraping into the loamy soil.
As soon as her metamorphosis was comple
te, leaving her as sleek as butter and covered in soft fur, she bolted, running as fast as she could. In her human form, she could see and hear better than most, but as a mountain lion her ears amplified the sound of every ruffled blade of grass or disturbed shrub, and her eyes adjusted to the lack of illumination with quick efficiency. Compared to her hearing and vision, her olfactory sense was weak, but every scent she encountered surrounded her like a living presence. The rabbits in their burrows thumped while not too far away a white-tailed deer nibbled on tree bark. Neither would be safe if she was hungry, but her belly was still full of fish.
Abram blinked his eyes as he woke up alone. He extended his arm and patted around on the blanket beside his body. As he sat up, his cold skin missed Maddie’s warmth, and he couldn’t see far with such little light. He squinted, turning his head left and then right.
He remembered the noise he’d heard back in the cave, and his stomach dropped. Adrenaline pressed him to action. He felt around until he found the flashlight. While picking it up, he clicked the switch. Once he was on his feet, he turned in a full circle, surveying the area. He didn’t see Maddie, but he found his clothes. As far as he could tell, Maddie’s clothes were still there too. As he gathered his things, he noticed his gun and holster, wrapped up in his jeans. He dressed quickly. Where’s my girl?
He took a couple of steps in the direction of the cabin and stopped. Maybe natured called. Should I give her a minute? “Maddie?” When she didn’t answer, he called her name a few more times before circling the cabin. Oh, my God. Where is she? He rushed to the front door. The floorboard of the porch creaked as he turned the doorknob and entered. “Maddie?”
A quick shine of light produced no sign of her. Abram’s stomach tightened as if it were a rope full of sailor’s knots. He turned and exited the building, shutting the door behind him. Just as he was about to stomp down the stairs, he lifted the flashlight and illuminated the stretch of land where he’d been camping.
As he caught sight of the mountain lion just a few feet away from him, his jaw dropped and his blood pressure soared. He checked the animals face and then glanced down at its paws. He didn’t see any obvious signs up blood, but until he found Maddie unharmed, this beast was his enemy. Slowly, he moved his free hand down to his holster. The cat looked right at him, opened its jaws and made a sound more akin to chirping than the roaring or snarling he would have expected.
