Chapter 26
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
mikey
Normally, Miles City and Silver Creek were pretty quiet.
Everyone respected others’ privacy. But with the stir that Juniper and I caused in Houston, I wasn’t necessarily surprised that people were talking about us.
I didn’t think any other reporters would bother coming out to Montana, but I’d be keeping a watchful eye.
Luckily, word about me clocking Hackett didn’t get out, but I’d informed Travis about the situation in case something did arise.
I thought Hackett was too scared he’d be run out of town, though, if he published anything or went to other news sources—not that they’d believe him anyway.
He was trouble, and everyone in town knew it.
I may have gotten into a few squabbles myself, but they were always in defense of myself or someone else, never as the initial aggressor.
Ellison had teased me once about how violence was never the answer and I should think with my brain before my fists, but we all knew she’d do the same thing. The girl was ruthless.
Dinner was tonight, but I had a few hours before I’d need to go pick up Juniper, so I headed to the gym to work off some of my pent-up emotions.
Instead of hitting the weights, though, I wanted to focus on endurance.
I didn’t work out to get big and bulky like most guys.
Believe it or not, size actually did matter when it came to riding bulls.
Being smaller was an advantage in controlling the animal.
Sure, a small number of guys were tall, but they were thin and didn’t weigh much.
At five-foot-eight, I weighed in at around one hundred fifty pounds.
While roughstock riders typically were on the lighter side, athletes in other events—especially bulldoggers—were usually bulkier. That’s why, while our workouts were similar in some ways, Colter, Reid, Hayden, and Jake had different focus areas when they were in the gym.
I also did a lot of cardio—inside and outside of the gym. While I wasn’t a big fan of running, I occasionally did a HIIT program or cycling workout.
Today, the gym was a bit busier than normal with some college kids occupying the weights and machines. A few eyes latched on me when I walked in the door, but I ignored them as I walked toward one of the studio rooms where they occasionally had fitness classes.
After warming up, I started interval training, rotating between squats, planks, pushups, box jumps, and jump rope. Sweat dripped down my back as I ran through a few cycles of exercises.
To finish out the day, I hopped on a stationary bike, cycling at various speeds and resistance levels.
Muscles spent, I hopped in the shower to get ready to pick up Juniper for dinner. Steam enveloped my body as I stood in the stream of water, a heavy sigh leaving my lips.
A picture of her naked flashed through my mind, and I leaned forward, resting one of my forearms on the tile wall as my other hand reached for my hardening cock.
As I gripped the shaft, I pictured her pretty, pink lips wrapped around me and stroked the length, desperate to relieve the want for her building in my chest. I imagined myself thrusting into her mouth, the tip hitting the back of her throat, and the sounds she’d make.
God, she would look perfect choking on my cock. I regretted not letting her suck my dick the first time we hooked up, now knowing the fantasy may never actually happen. I wanted to take a fistful of her hair and tug on the strands until she was moaning my name around me.
There were so many things I wanted to do to her in so many places.
I squeezed tighter, wishing it was Juniper’s pussy wrapped around me instead of my hand.
My head dipped until my forehead was also pressed against the wall.
The pressure in my balls built as I started climbing closer and closer to coming, my breathing coming out in low, desperate pants combined with her name falling off my lips.
In my daydream, Juniper threw her head back as I fucked her, her tight, wet pussy clenching around me until she came undone.
Hot, sticky cum shot into my hand, dripping down onto the floor, and my eyes rolled back.
I kept fucking my hand until every last drop was spent and I came back to reality, chest heaving harder now than it was during my workout.
When I got to Juniper’s house, Natalie let me in, although she did frown, narrowing her eyes when she first saw me.
“She’s in her room. Down the hall to the left.” Her monotone voice caught me off guard a bit—I wasn’t sure what I’d done to get that response—but I was determined to win Natalie over.
I dipped my chin in gratitude. “Thanks.”
She eyed me up and down as I stepped past her, taking off my boots and heading down the hallway where she told me Juniper’s room was.
I paused outside the door, ready to knock as to not startle her, when a soft noise from inside caught me off guard. A noise that sounded a lot like buzzing followed by a moan.
“Mmm.” Juniper hummed.
I debated in my head whether or not to open the door. I didn’t want to embarrass her or intrude, or break any of our pre-established rules, but when my name fell off her lips next, I turned the handle, finding Juniper with a neon pink vibrator between her legs.
Her eyes widened, and she shut off the toy while also moving to cover herself, but I stopped her, closing the door behind me.
“Don’t stop on my account.” A smirk tugged on my lips. The fact she was thinking about me stroked my ego a little. I leaned against the wall, my dick swelling in my jeans.
For the first time ever, she looked almost shy, like she was ashamed to have been caught.
“I—” she stumbled, as though she wasn’t sure what to say.
Instead of letting her sit there any longer, I walked over to the bed, threw the covers off her, and admired her naked body, something I hadn’t been able to do since the first night we got together.
Her mouth opened and closed, then opened again. “What are you doing?”
“Don’t play, Peach. I heard you say my name.”
She rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. “What about the rules? And I didn’t think you wanted to see—”
I cut her off. “Fuck the rules.” I took a deep breath. “Of course, I wanted to see you. I’m taking you to dinner with my friends tonight. I wanted to give you time, though. We’d just spent a month and a half together.”
“Oh.” She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. “I guess, I just thought…I don’t know. We have rules in place and…”
I picked up the vibrator, turning it on and crawling onto the bed in front of her.
“Juniper, baby, I can’t stand not having you.
That first night wasn’t enough for me, will never be enough for me.
” I laid my hand on her knee, gently pushing her legs apart.
“If you don’t want this, tell me. I’ll stop.
But I’d be damned if I said I didn’t want to make you come right here, right now. Let me make you feel good.”
She was silent, and for a second I worried I was pushing too far. Maybe I was being reckless, but I needed to know if she wanted me as much as I wanted her.
“Tell me what you want, Juniper.”
She sighed, like she was fighting a battle within herself, but her eyes—shining with want—gave her away. “You. I want you.”
That was all the confirmation I needed as I brought the tip of the vibrator to her clit, her head falling back with the contact. I applied more pressure, turning up the intensity of the vibration, and she let out a moan, her legs squeezing together.
Placing one knee on the inside of her thigh and my hand on the other, I separated her legs, holding them apart to restrain their movement.
Her thighs trembled under my grasp, and her hands fisted the sheets as a breathy mess of words fell from her lips.
“Hold this right there and don’t move it,” I commanded as I gave her the toy and got up from the bed to discard my clothes.
My cock was rock hard in my pants, and I needed to ease some of the pressure.
I pulled my shirt over my head and unbuttoned my jeans, letting them fall to the floor.
My boxers went next, my cock springing out of them.
By the time I crawled back up to the bed, Juniper looked like she was on the verge of an orgasm, her toes curling and expletives coming out of her mouth.
With one hand, I took the vibrator back, rubbing circles with it over her slick entrance, her arousal coating the tip. The other hand wrapped around my length, stroking it as I watched her squirm beneath me.
“I-I’m going to c-come,” she stammered before moaning loud enough that I was sure her roommate heard.
“Let go, Peach.” All it took were those three words and she fell apart, liquid flooding into a pool between her legs.
“F-fuck,” she gasped. “I’ve never done that before.”
I shut off the vibrator, tossing it aside as I brought my hand up to my mouth, spitting into it. I rubbed it up and down my cock, even though I was sure she was wet enough that we wouldn’t need the extra lube.
“It was hot as fuck. But I want you to come on my cock. Bare. Can you do that for me?”
She nodded, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth.
“You know I’m clear. I haven’t been with anyone since we started our arrangement and I got tested shortly after as well. Please, can I have you bare?”
“Yes. Yes, I want that. I haven’t been with anyone but you in a while. And I’m on birth control.”
A strangled noise rose from my throat as I guided my tip toward her slit, her pussy still dripping from her orgasm.
My cock slid in with ease, and we both moaned at the sensation of me filling her.
I thrust my hips forward until I buried myself to the hilt then paused, catching my breath and planting a gentle kiss on her lips.
“What’s wrong, Casanova? I wouldn’t think you’d be out of breath so easily,” she taunted.
“Just getting started.” I grabbed her hands, pinning them above her head as I pulled back then slammed myself inside her again and again.
The sound of skin against skin filled the room, and she became even wetter and slick as I pounded into her.
She wrapped her legs around my middle, creating an even deeper angle. Her eyes rolled back as I hit her G-spot, and she begged for more.
I released her hands from my grip and turned her body to the side, hooking one ankle over my shoulder and slamming into her at an angle.
The pressure building in my balls was almost too much, but I wasn’t going to come until she did.
I willed myself not to, even as her pussy clenched around me, tight and hot and wet.
“Fuck me harder, faster, please.” The plea fell from her lips like a prayer, and I almost came from her words alone. Flipping her over completely so her ass was in the air, I grabbed her hips and pulled her closer to me with each thrust.
“Soak my cock, Peach. Drown me. Let everyone in this town know you’re mine.”
Three more strokes and she detonated around me as my cock twitched and I spilled inside her, still pistoning my hips as she cried out my name.
Once I was spent, I collapsed on top of her, sweat dripping down my temples. I pressed my lips to her forehead.
“What are we doing, Mikey?” she sighed.
Not answering her question, I kissed her, nibbling on her bottom lip. She let out a soft breath, parting her lips and allowing me to slip my tongue in her mouth.
“What are the odds your roommate will catch us walking to the shower?” I mumbled against her mouth.
“She probably left the moment you walked in the bedroom.” She giggled.
“Perfect.” After getting off the bed, I scooped her up into my arms and walked her into the bathroom, where I got on my knees and worshipped her again until she fell apart under the hot spray of the shower.
