Chapter 24
Colt
I need to get my shit together; I can't be flirting with Brynn right in front of her brothers, who are my bosses. Jesus, I need a drink. I can't believe everything that has happened today. My sister and Millie. Fuck if I don't want to kill that son-of-a-bitch for laying a hand on my sister.
My fists clench as we make our way back to the barn. I have so much tension building in my body, I feel like a volcano ready to erupt.
"You wanna take the rest of the day off?" Blake asks, eyeing me suspiciously. "Need to borrow my car? A rifle?"
"Don't tempt me. I can't fucking believe she kept this from me. How am I supposed to just let that motherfucker live?"
"I wouldn't, if that was Brynn." Brooks cuts himself off with a shake of his head like he can't fathom something like that happening to his little sister .
"I should've seen it." I am beating myself up over this entire situation. "I should've known. What kind of protector am I if I can't even keep her safe?"
"She hid it so well. Don't be too hard on yourself. She didn't want you to know, and she made sure you didn't find out." Blake claps me on the shoulder.
"Fuck work. Let's go to Bessie's," Brooks says.
"If we don't work, we won't get dinner," Blake says. "I truly believe Brynn would keep us from eating."
Brooks and I laugh and decide he is probably right. "I am going out to mend some fences. All the cattle have been rotated and are in the fields closest to the barn."
"Need some help?" Blake asks, tacking up his horse.
"Nah, I am good. I'll see you guys at the main house for dinner." Brooks and Blake both nod and I continue to get my supplies ready for my pack and give Honey a treat before we leave the barn and head to the fence I saw earlier with some broken wire.
Being out here in the wide-open field brings a sense of peace and calming. I need to figure out a way to be sure Callie and Millie are safe and stay safe. I work until the sun starts to fade. I decide it is probably time to call it a day and head back to the barn. I really just want a shower and a cold beer, but I need to check on Callie .
Honey and I make the trek back to the main barn and I get her situated for the night. I absently rub her as she munches on some hay. "Tell me everything is going to be okay," I whisper as I close the stall door and latch it.
"I can't guarantee it will all be okay, but your sister is one strong ass woman." Brynn's voice comes from behind me. I didn't even notice the flicker of the floodlight from outside the barn door or hear her steps down the aisle. "I used to talk to Honey all the time, she is the best at keeping secrets."
"What kind of secrets?" I ask with a lift of my brow.
"Well, if I told you, it wouldn't qualify as a secret anymore, Cowboy ."
"Maybe I will just get Honey to spill all your secrets," I say teasingly.
"I have a feeling that if Honey was spilling my secrets, I would know," Brynn says quietly.
I lean closer to Brynn. "It's okay. I would rather hear your secrets from you, Firecracker."
Brynn peers up at me from behind her full, thick lashes. Her striking emerald eyes shining in the glow from the light outside. I have the urge to lean in and kiss her. What I wouldn't give to have her lips on mine. Her hands on my body, to have her melt against me, to come undone from my touch.
Brynn's face heats, "Are you okay, cowboy?" I can't exactly pinpoint the expression on her face, but I know what I want it to mean. Having Brynn's full attention on me right now feels overwhelming. So much has happened today; I have held back so much. I am not sure I can hold back any longer.
"No," I say right as my hands come up to cup the sides of her face and my lips meet hers in a soft, gentle kiss. I expect her to step back, slap me across the face, or knee me in the balls. What I don't expect is for Brynn to lean her body into mine, for her hands to wrap around my neck, to feel her soft breasts right against my hard chest. I try my luck and swipe my tongue along her lower lip. Brynn instantly opens for me, and my tongue explores her mouth. She moans as she starts to explore my mouth. My hands slide down her neck, around her shoulders and down to her ass.
I grip her ass and hoist her up, her legs instantly curling around my hips. I walk us a few more steps into the darkness of the barn. I'll be damned if someone sees me maul the boss's sister. "Brynn." Her name is like a prayer and a plea all at once.
"Yeah, Cowboy?"
"We need. I need. We should. Fuck," I growl as I kiss her again. I nip at her ear, her neck, her collarbone peeking out behind her shirt. "I should probably stop."
"Then why haven't you stopped?" Brynn asks as she looks right into my eyes.
"I can't. I have waited too long and now I can't stop. "
Brynn drops her legs from around my waist, and I instantly feel the loss of her heat. "We are adults."
"I work for your dad and brothers."
"They don't have to know." She trails her fingers down my chest. She stops right above my belt.
"You are leaving."
"It's just sex. We can just have some fun and burn off some tension. It's not like you are going to fall in love with me," she says teasingly.
I scrub a palm down my face. "I don't know Brynn, I could lose my job."
"Did anywhere in your contract state you couldn't bang the sister for funsies?" She smirks, her tongue peeking out to run along her bottom lip.
She's so fucking hot, I'm about to come in my pants. "We shouldn't."
"You won't get fired. I will make sure of it."
"I am supposed to believe you?" I scoff. "You act like you hate my mere existence."
"There is a fine line between love and hate," Brynn says as she drops to her knees and starts unbuckling my belt.
I put my hand on hers, "Not yet. What kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't let you come first?"
"I was hoping you weren't a gentleman." Brynn winks as she taps my hand that is keeping her from pulling down my zipper. I let go, and she pulls my zipper down and frees my rock-hard cock. "Good boy," she purrs, right before she takes me all the way to the back of her throat.
I moan as Brynn's cheeks hollow out. I slide my hands into her hair, twisting the curls around my fingers. My god, she is making my legs go numb. "This is about to be really embarrassing," I mumble as my head falls back from the pleasure she is pumping through my body. Brynn pulls back until just the tip of my cock is in her hot, wet mouth. I feel her tongue swirl around and then she flicks the underside of my sensitive head. My entire body jerks from the movement. One hand comes to my shaft, the other behind my balls.
When she sucks hard around my head, strokes my shaft and pushes her thumb into that perfect spot, my orgasm ricochets through me so fast I don't even have time to warn her. I see her throat bob as my release coats her mouth. This girl just made me come so hard; I am pretty sure I blacked out.
She cleans me up, each lick sending jolts of electricity through my body once again. "Fuck," I groan as she tucks me back in my briefs.
"Oh, we are definitely going to do that. But first, we need to go eat dinner."
"I'd rather have dessert." My mouth crashes down on hers. "That was the best fucking orgasm of my life. "
Brynn's cheeks flush, her hair mussed from my hands. "Let's go Cowboy. You are gonna need all the sustenance you can get." She winks and strolls out of the barn like she didn't just rock my entire fucking world.
