Protecting Bethany Read online

  “Yes, yes it really does have freckles. Not many but a couple.” She moved up to him and put her hands on his ass. “Does it bother you? It’s not like you ever see them and no one other than me will see them, so why would it bother you? I happen to love that you have freckles on your rump. Just saying.”

  “Damn it,” he muttered. She watched his cheeks go pink again. “That’s just so many ways of wrong. No man should have freckles on his ass,” he said, definitely grumbling. “I honestly never knew I had them down there. It’s bad enough I usually get a whack on my face before my tan sets in but my ass.”

  Reaching out Bethany took his hands into hers and looked at him. “You have freckles on your ass, I have a brand. Does that make you love me any less?” He had to know that it wasn’t a defect in her eyes, she loved it. It made him seem all the sexier honestly in her eyes.

  “You are perfect, always have been, always will be,” he said. “I don’t care if you have a…” he trailed off and narrowed his eyes. “What the hell do you mean you have a brand on your ass, Bethany?”

  “The man that thinks he’s my husband. On the wedding night branded me with his cattle brand. He and the hands got a huge kick out of it,” she whispered softly. Her eyes were now on the ground. She had been sure she had told both men about what she had gone through. “He said that I was nothing more than cattle and had to be branded as such.”

  “Fuck, right,” he whispered. His hand came up to touch her cheek. “I’m sorry, love. I obviously pushed that out of my head. I didn’t mean to bring it up, especially since it’s so painful for you,” he said gently. Stepping closer he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her close. “I would never hurt you, Bethany, forgive me?”

  “I know that you wouldn’t.” She gave him a smile, she had to. “I know you would never hurt me. I was just trying to scramble my brain and think if I had told you as well as Brendan or if I had only told him. It’s not exactly something that I want to relive, as I’m sure you will understand.”

  “I know, baby,” he said. Pressing a kiss to her lips he hugged her to him tightly. “I would never make you have to say that again if I could but I honestly pushed it right out of my head. I’m an idiot. It’s okay if you’re not liking me so much right now, I’m not liking myself so much right now either.”

  “Don’t,” she said softly. “Please don’t say anything else. Just love me? I adore you Connor and you darn tootin’ well know it. I love you and I always have. Right now though I need you to make love with me. We need to shower so that we can make use of that condom.” She didn’t want to think about the then just the now.

  Nodding he pressed another kiss to her lips. Stepping back he drew her into the shower with him and slowly cornered her. Pressing his hands to either side on the tile he leaned in and kissed her, slowly, deeply and with feeling.

  That was all she needed to get back to where she belonged. A low moan escaped her lips when he pulled back from her. “Wow.” She could only whisper the word because she was pretty sure that all her sanity flew away with that kiss. “You kiss me like that and I forget everything.” Which wasn’t necessarily always a bad thing.

  Connor smiled down at her and gave her a lazy shrug. More a ripple of his shoulders really but damn, what it did to her head, whew! “Kind of the plan,” he told her. Brushing kisses to her cheek he worked his way down to her throat. Nibbling gently he flicked his tongue over her skin as he tormented one side and then the other.

  She shivered and grinned. “I think that we should get clean. I’m in such a state of need that I’m not sure I’m going to survive you teasing me as you are. And that’s not a bad thing by the way, it’s a good thing. A very, very good thing.” She was wet, not just from the water but she was dripping in need for her man.

  “I’m not teasing, I’m tasting,” he said. But he did pull back. “Huge difference, darling. But, you are right, we should clean up. I do not think I’ll last all that long either given the way your scent is wrapping around me.”

  “And you are tired, remember?” she asked and let one hand trail down his arm to his chest and lower. Her fingers wrapped around his thick cock and she moved her hand once, and then twice, up and down. “I love that you are already so hard for me. So desperate. It’s only fair though since I’m just as desperate.”

  Groaning he rocked into her hold, a shudder ripping through his body. “I’ve been fucking hard since you said the word ‘naked,’ babe. Hearing that from your lips practically had me coming in my damned jeans.”

  “Well that’s a very good thing that we have the condom. I personally think that we should put it on you now, have you lift me up and fuck me against the tile and then get cleaned up. What are your thoughts on my plan?”

  “Much better plan.” He nodded. “Quickly though, I honestly don’t think I can hold on for much longer,” he admitted, looking her in the eye. “I need you way too desperately, Bethany,” he said, pressing a hard kiss to her lips.

  “I couldn’t agree more.” She ripped open the foil packet and with her eyes on his rolled the latex over his hard shaft. She had never once believed something so necessary could be so damn erotic. After she had his cock encased she stroked her fingers up and down his shaft and grinned. “There, I think that we are now ready for play. What do you think?”

  “More than ready,” he said, sounding slightly pained. He caught her wrist before she could stroke him again and lifted her hand. “Any more of that and I’ll be done, Bethany. So, don’t,” he said. Leaning in he kissed her, thrusting his tongue in to tease hers.

  She approved of this new plan, his kissing her and touching her. A lot. Bethany kissed him back, her hand moving over his shoulder and pulling him in closer. When they finally parted once more Bethany licked her lips and smiled. “I think you need to lift me up, big boy. I want to ride you, desperately.”

  Panting softly he ran his hands down her sides to her ass. Lifting her up he pressed in closer, trapping her against the wall, his cock rubbing over her pussy. “Legs around me,” he said, nuzzling at her cheek. His cock was poised right where she wanted him, needed him.

  Her legs wrapped tightly around him, she held onto him and grinned down at him. Leaning back against the wall of the shower she licked her lips and grinned. “Now.” She tried to wiggle down, tried to get him to enter her but the stubborn cowboy was holding out on her.

  He smiled at her as she wiggled. “Going somewhere, darling?” he asked. She felt his fingers tighten on her ass cheeks before they relaxed. “’Cause, I have to tell you, I think you’re right where I want you to be. Almost.” His grip relaxed more and she slid down over his cock.

  “That’s where I want to be.” She moaned. “I really think that you need to be inside of me. Enough playing. God help you but I need you to fuck me. Right now. I am desperate.” And she was. She was ready to scream in need.

  Chuckling softly he pressed in deeper until she had him fully buried inside. “I think we should go nice and slow,” he said softly. Brushing a kiss over her cheek he withdrew his cock and then slid back in slowly, just like he’d suggested.

  “And I’m thinking that nice and slow would be enough to make me climb up the walls of the shower.” Which was the utter and complete truth. “I can’t even begin to tell you how desperate that I am for you right now. Please.” She wasn’t against begging. At all.

  He was smiling against her lips as he continued his nice and slow torture, his cock sliding in and out, rubbing her just right. “What will you give me if I give into your demands?” he asked, curious sounding. “’Cause I’m totally not against you bribing me.”

  “I think that you and I would both have mutual satisfaction. I think that both of us orgasming would be one of the most amazing of things, don’t you?” she asked with a low moan of need. “I really, really need you to fuck me. I’m desperate and at this moment I’m ready to do just about anything.”

  “Anything, huh?” he asked, still teasing her but sounding str
ained. Good, maybe he was finally feeling a bit of what she was. “Then hang on tight, Bethany,” he said softly. “Because it’s time to see if you can take all that I can give you.”

  He lifted her up a little and gave her just what she wanted. His cock slamming into her pussy hard and fast. Her entire body started to thrum from the tension he was building. His hands were hard on her ass, another point of pleasure and a show of his own need for her.

  Bethany held onto him, her whole body moving right along with his. Holding onto him tighter she rocked and moved against him faster, harder. “There,” she moaned. “Oh Jesus. Yes.” She sobbed and then arched back, crying out her orgasm as she did so.

  Connor let out the sexiest damned growl, one that made her twitch with need, as he slammed into her again as he came. “God,” he moaned out. Then he bit her shoulder, lightly, just a kiss of teeth really, but it added to all the sensations trying to overtake her.

  That was all that she needed. She had to have him right there with her. Screaming she sobbed Connor’s name, coming in a climax that had her seeing stars, literally. Her arms and legs wrapped tightly around him, coming harder and faster with each thrust he pushed into her.

  He slipped his arms around her, hugging her to him as his cock twitched inside of her tightly clenched pussy. “I’ve got you,” he whispered in her ear. “I’ve got you, Bethany,” he said again, stroking a hand slowly up and down her spine.

  “I’m glad you do.” Bethany was smiling against the side of his neck, her happiness was there and clear for him to feel. “Heavens, that was bloody amazing.” That was about all she could think to say about it honestly, it had been like an out of body experience.

  Chuckling he squeezed her closer before lifting his head. Brushing a kiss to her lips he smiled at her. “I think we should clean up and then try this again on the bed. A nice and safe spot where I won’t have to worry about either of us taking a tumble.”

  “I think that is a darn tootin’ good idea. I will start to get cleaned up if you will let me down?” she asked with a smile. “And you can get rid of the condom and get cleaned up.” She was more than happy to be able to have more than one lovemaking session with him if possible. “Are you sure that you are going to be okay going a second time?”

  “Woman, are you doubting what your naked body will do for my libido?” he asked. Whistling softly he lifted her off his cock and settled her on her feet. “I’m already half hard for you again. So wash fast and don’t even think about messing around.”

  “Well damn, there went my idea of water ballet.” She was teasing, the laughter and the grin on her face was enough to tell him that. She moved from him, giving him her back so that she could quickly wash herself. Ensuring that she was clean from head to toe she looked back at him. “How about you get my back and then I’m out so you can finish?”

  Nodding he took the cloth from her when she offered it. He was quick, but thorough as he washed down her shoulders, spine and toward her ass. Where he lingered just a little. “Done,” he finally said. Pressing a kiss to her shoulder he turned her in his arms and kissed her lips gently.

  She nipped at his lip, pulling back from him with a grin. “I’m getting out. I will be dried off and on the bed in five minutes. I fully expect you there with me.” Reaching up she touched her fingers to his lips and then cheek. “I’m happy that I told you both everything.”

  “Me too,” he said softly. Dropping a kiss to her lips he moved out of her way. “Get a move on. I’ll be a minute or two behind you.” He grinned. Throwing her a wink he ducked under the shower spray, turning his head up and scrubbing his hands over his face.

  Bethany walked out of the bathroom, drying off as she did so. She quickly towel dried her hair and then ran a brush through it before climbing up onto the bed, waiting for Connor to join her.

  The water shut off just as she crawled onto the bed. A few sounds drifted out to her before he exited the bathroom, turning the light off as he came. No towel. Gave her the opportunity to check him out in full frontal. “Are you staring at anything in particular?” Connor asked, definite laughter in his voice.

  “Just the little something there between your legs. It looks like it might be a growth of some sort?” She teased him with a grin. “It looks as if it is looking at me. As if it likes me?” She licked her lips as she spoke.

  “Oh that.” He stopped and posed, a grin on his face. “It does have a mind of its own most days but it definitely likes you. In fact, I can honestly say, I’ve never seen it so happy to see anyone like it is to see you.” Chuckling he climbed up the bed and crawled toward her.

  “That’s a very, very good thing.” She watched him as he crawled toward her. “I really think that I would like to taste it. I would like to see if it is as tasty as it looks. Would you mind ever so much if I were to do that?”

  He stopped and stared at her. After a few seconds he shrugged and grinned. “Sure, if you want,” he said with a chuckle. Shifting he threw himself down on his back on the bed and tucked his hands behind his head. “I am at your beck and call for whatever you might want.”

  “Good,” she said with a smile and moved so that she was facing his toes. “This way if you have any desire to taste and touch me...” She trailed off, her belly rubbing against his, her nipples against his thighs. “Goodness,” was the last thing she said before licking him once and then taking him into her mouth.

  His hands gripped her hips tightly as he let out a deep moan. “Fuck, Bethany, a little warning, woman,” he said in a choked tone. Then he tugged on her hips and pulled her down, his mouth latching onto her clit.

  Bethany bucked over him and closed her hand over the base of his cock. She hadn’t wanted to warn him, she had wanted to shock him, needed to shock him and now as she rode against his tongue and bobbed her head on his cock she realized why. If she hadn’t she never would have gotten this wonderful experience of sucking him as she was now.

  Connor pushed two fingers into her pussy, stroking her as he flicked his tongue to her clit. Over and over he drove his fingers in deep before pulling them out to circle her opening. Then he began to stroke her anus, gently rubbing at her tight bud as he lapped at her pussy.

  Pleasure washed over her as he touched her so intimately, in a way that oddly none ever had before. “Connor.” She nipped the head of his cock very gently with her teeth, determined to give him as much pleasure as he was giving her. “Yes.” She was giving him the greenlight to do anything, everything to her. Begging practically.

  He gave a chuckle and nipped at her clit lightly. Thrusting a finger deep into her pussy he then pressed it to her anus. The pressure built quickly before his finger slid in. “Breathe, babe, and watch those teeth on my cock.”

  “Oh I won’t hurt you. I promise.” She hoped so at least. Breathing she then once more began to work on his turgid flesh, determined to make him whimper and beg as she did for him. “Don’t forget a condom. When you come again I need you inside of me.” She panted, saliva dripping from her mouth and onto the head of his cock.

  “Damn woman, you couldn’t have mentioned that when I was still able to function?” he asked with a shiver. “Fucking hell,” he muttered. His mouth moved to her pussy again, his tongue lapping at her juices as he nipped and suckled on her flesh.

  Nope, she couldn’t have mentioned it then because she wanted him to be out of his mind crazy wild for her. She needed it. She was desperate for him to be as buck wild and needy as she was right then.

  His finger was pressing deeper into her ass, thrusting in and out slowly as he teased her clit. She had no clue where his other hand was, she couldn’t feel it any more. A loud crash caught her attention briefly before a condom smacked into her shoulder.

  She began to giggle. She couldn’t help it. Giving his cock one last lick she leaned up and back, moaning from the new angle of his finger in her ass and his mouth on her clit. She rode him for a couple of moments before sliding the condom on. “Brendan is going to be
at you if you break anything, you know that right?”

  He laughed and bit her inner thigh. “I wouldn’t break anything. Besides, it was just a,” he paused. “Fuck, I don’t even know what it was. I’ll replace it if I broke it.” He chuckled. His finger in her ass withdrew and then there was more pressure as he pushed in. He must have been using two fingers she realized.

  “Oh Jesus.” She sobbed and stopped everything she was doing. When he went to stop she shook her head. “Don’t stop. It is a good pain. It’s pleasure, but a hint of stretching. I like it, please.” She was pushing back against him once more, showing him how much she enjoyed it.

  He pushed his fingers in deeper, spreading them ever so slightly. “Stay still, love. At least until you loosen up a little. I don’t want you to be hurt,” he said quietly. “And you are so fucking tight.”

  “I’ve surprisingly never had anything there,” she admitted. “It feels so good,” she moaned. “Gods, so good.” Her husband had never wanted to do anything other than hurt her and spill his seed inside of her. Thank God she hadn’t gotten pregnant.

  “Hey,” he said, his fingers stilling. “Bethany, you tensed up, love. Why?” he asked softly. Pushing her forward gently he sat up, his fingers twisting in her ass slowly as he changed position. “Talk to me,” he whispered, brushing a kiss to her shoulder.

  “Later? Right now I just truly need you.” She didn’t want to think about the past, she just wanted to think about the here and now. About Connor and Brendan and nothing else. “Make love with me, Connor.” It was a simple request.

  He was quiet for a long time before he finally agreed. He withdrew his fingers from her ass and turned her to face him. Brushing a kiss to her lips he drew her in closer, his hand rubbing at her anus as she pressed down over his cock.

  Bethany’s eyes were on his, she hissed and slowed, moving up and then slowly back down. A full body shiver raced through her, she felt her body stretching to accommodate him and moaned. “Yes.” She moaned in pure bliss.
