Cash [Pyrate's Treasure 3] (Siren Publishing Classic) (9 page)

Looking around, she found the clearing was empty other than a stunned-looking man, who had been introduced before the funeral as Emerald’s mate, Nick, and Goldie’s relaxed and satisfied-looking mate, Caleb.

“So, do you want to wait here or go back to the house? This run could take all night, or it might be over in five minutes,” she said as she picked up Cash’s gym shorts and folded them.

“Goldie said for us to go back to the house because she didn’t want us carried off by mosquitoes,” Caleb said after clearing his throat.

“Emerald didn’t say one way or the other,” Nick said, sounding as if he was in shock by what he had just witnessed.

“And Cash told me to stay here. But Caleb’s right,” Zoe said, watching as a mosquito landed on her arm. “Even with bug spray, we might be eaten alive if we don’t go inside soon. And since Caleb is the Alpha’s mate, his word is law when she’s not around.”

“Really?” Caleb grabbed a torch, and they slowly headed down the path that led straight to the Pyrate family home.

“Really. Even though you are not shifter, you are the Alpha’s mate and, as such, are subordinate only to her. So, if she is not around and Silver and Cash get into an argument, you can step in and break it up.”

“Good to know that I’m not totally without power among the island shifters. But I’m still not sure I’d want to get between Silver and Cash if they came to blows.”

Once they reached the house, Zoe excused herself and went to the kitchen. She found a large picnic basket in the pantry and spent the next few minutes filling it with snack foods, bottled water, and juices. She had a feeling that this time when she and Cash escaped to his bedroom, they would not be leaving it for a few days. Looking around, she added a handful of candles, several candleholders, and two lighters to the basket. Nothing said romance like a room lit only by candlelight.

After saying good night to Caleb and Nick, who had settled at the chessboard in the living room, Zoe headed to the room she now shared with Cash. With a little luck, she would have enough time to wash off the stink of bug spray and put a few romantic touches on the room before Cash returned.

Almost as soon as the pack left the clearing, Cash wanted to turn around and go back to his mate. His cock has been hard as a rock all afternoon, and he needed the relief he could find only in his mate’s body. Unfortunately, as pack Beta, he had to be at the front of the group and could not just drop out and go home.

When they reached the beach, Goldie and Luka turned and headed toward the far end of the island. Cash dropped back from his normal place at the front of the pack. Once all of the other wolves had passed him, he turned around and headed to the house. He had a hot, sexy woman waiting for his return.

He did not bother with his shorts. They would be fine until morning, but his mate needed his attention now. Once he reached the house, he did not shift back, but instead pushed his way through the dog door Edward had put in the back door when they were pups. He smelled his mate’s scent immediately, and without a thought of anything except getting to his mate, he tracked her from the kitchen through the house and up the stairs straight to his room.

He glanced up and down the hall to confirm he was alone before shifting back to his human form. Opening the door, he was surprised to see his functional bachelor’s bedroom had been transformed into a romantic boudoir for two.

Soft classical music he had never heard before was playing from his MP3 player’s docking station speakers. Except for the small light on the table by his bed, the lights were out. Candles on his dresser and his desk flickered as he crossed the room. The bathroom door was open, and he heard water splashing.

Stopping in the doorway, he took a moment to admire his beautiful mate as she lounged in the tub. She had pinned her hair up in a messy style that he could not wait to take down so he could comb his fingers through the long dark strands of silk.

She lay back with her head resting on the edge of the tub, her eyes closed as she hummed along with the music. He watched her hands move slowly up her body to cup her nipples, as if she was keeping her arousal bubbling while waiting for him.

Stepping back from the doorway, he locked the hall door and turned the ceiling fan on low before pulling the covers and pillows from the bed. He then pulled several condoms and a tube of lubricant from the drawer in the table and set them next to the light. Only then did he return to the bathroom.

This time he did not just stop to watch the beautiful gypsy who was now playing with her erect nipples. Reaching into the bathtub, he scooped her out of the tub, earning an ear-piercing squeal from his mate. He climbed into the tub and settled in the water with her in his lap.

“Mmmm, now this is how I like my bathtub, full of a wet and willing woman,” he said with a grin as his hand slipped between her thighs. He spread her pussy lips and found her hot, wet clit waiting.

“Ooooo,” Zoe breathed as two fingers dragged over the bead of flesh then continued down to push into her pussy. Spreading her legs, she planted her feet and lifted her hips into Cash’s fingers.

“I’m going to love you tonight every way a man can love a woman,” Cash promised as he pulled his fingers from her and moved them down to brush over and then circle her back hole. “What do you think of that, gypsy mate of mine?”

“Oh my,” she breathed as the tip of one finger pressed for entrance. “I think I’d like whatever you do to me, as long as I can love you back.”

“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Cash said just before shifting her around and kissing her long and deep.

Though she had been aware of his presence since he had entered the bedroom, Zoe was surprised when he joined her in the bathtub. When he talked about loving her while playing with her ass, her body went weak. All she could do was agree, for he had given voice to what her heart was begging for, to have him fuck her in every way possible.

But first he needed to be cleansed of the nasty-smelling bug spray.

Pulling from his gentle, loving hold, she crouched in front of him and found the soap and washcloth. With his willing help, she washed his body from jawline to toes, concentrating on all the spots she had learned were sexually sensitive to him. Once she was finished, she pulled the plug on the tub, turned on the handheld shower, and rinsed him as thoroughly as she had scrubbed him.

After rinsing her own body, she turned off the water then turned to grab a towel. But her mate beat her to them. He was quickly swiping one over his body while eyeing her with what could only be a nearly out of control lust. Once he finished, he grabbed a second towel and gently and thoroughly dried her skin. Then he pulled the pins from her hair and combed it away from her face and down her back in a waterfall of waves.

“Don’t ever cut it,” he ordered, pulling her to stand right in front of him.

“Yes, sir,” she said with a sassy grin and a left-handed salute.

A hand smacking her ass had her jumping with a squawk of surprise. Then she gasped when that same hand and its mate slid under her ass cheeks and lifted her until she was nose to nose with Cash.

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and her legs around his waist and held on like a koala in a tree as he carried her out of the bathroom and across the big bedroom. Even after he bent over the bed, she refused to release him. It felt too good hanging onto her man to let him get even an inch away.

“Let go, gypsy,” Cash urged, reaching up and pulling her arms from around his shoulders.

“But you feel so goooooood,” she whined as her upper body dropped to the mattress.

Her lower body followed a moment later, and she felt the edge of the mattress under her ass cheeks. Cash pushed her legs up so her knees brushed her nipples. “Keep them there,” he ordered before kneeling at the edge of the bed.

Zoe wrapped her arms around her thighs to hold them in place. As she did, she felt fingers spread her pussy lips. She sucked a breath when warm air wafted over her clit. A moment later, she moaned when Cash’s tongue started at the top of her slit and dragged slowly down to her wide-open pussy.

She whined when he moved away. When he took her knotted-up clit and sucked on it hard, she began to pant. The heavy breathing turned into gasps when his tongue began to bat the flesh back and forth, sending fire out to the rest of her body.

When she was right on the precipice of her orgasm, he pulled away again. After rearranging her so she was more centered on the bed, he climbed up and knelt next to her head. She licked her lips as she dropped her gaze down his body to the hardness that bobbed just an inch from her nose.

Without a word, she let go of her legs, rolled to her side, and lunged forward to take half his cock into her mouth. Bobbing her head up and down his length, she used her tongue to bathe the sides of his cock and swirl around the head, savoring the pre-cum she tasted there. His hips hitched several times before he gently pulled away. When she pouted at him, he shifted to lie beside her before leaning down to kiss her deep and hard.

“That mouth of yours is deadly,” he murmured as one hand began to play with one nipple and then the other.

“So is yours,” she responded as her hand between their bodies stroked its way up his thigh to gently cup his balls.

They kissed some more before he pulled away again. Moving to kneel between her now-sprawled legs, he lifted her ankles to his shoulders. He then began to run his cock up and down between her legs, from asshole to pussy to clit and up to the top of her slit and down again.

Zoe could not help the sounds she made as the spongy head of his cock stoked her arousal to a higher level than she had ever felt before. Then his strokes grew shorter and centered on her pussy until his hips snapped forward, shoving his entire length inside her in a single heartbeat.

Her hips arched, and the muscles of her pussy clenched tight around his cock as her arousal spiraled out of control and sent her over the edge. He began to fuck her with long, powerful strokes that kept her orgasm rolling on and on and on. Even after Cash slammed home with a roar and she felt his cock pulse with his release, her orgasm peaked, and she blacked out.

* * * *

When she roused, Cash had rearranged them so she was sprawled across his chest. His hands stroked down her back and sides as he crooned love words in her ear. She shifted atop him and felt his cock was once again hard as a steel rod and pressing into her lower belly.

“Feeling good, gypsy?” he asked as his hands moved farther down her body to massage her ass cheeks.

“Mmmm,” she managed to purr as she nuzzled her face against the side of his neck. “I’m feeling wonderful. How about you?”

“Oh, I’m just fine and dandy,” he responded, his words slightly slurred.

Zoe was so relaxed that when Cash began to snore a minute later, she smiled and allowed herself to drift off again as well.

When she woke next, she felt a cool, wet finger slide down the valley between the globes of her ass. When it reached her puckered star, the fingertip circled slowly and then gently pressed for entrance.

“Relax, gypsy. Let me stretch you out so I can fuck your pretty little ass,” Cash said softly as the tip slipped inside.

Since her body was still quite relaxed and boneless from their previous fucking and nap, it did not take long before Cash could work a second finger into her. He finger-fucked her slowly, his hand twisting back and forth as his digits moved in and out.

“How does that feel?” he asked as he eased a third finger in with the others.

“It hurts, but it doesn’t,” she said, her voice small and breathless. “Does that make any sense?”

“Oh yeah. Give it another minute, and when the pain eases completely, I want you to sit up and ride my cock.” Cash’s other hand that had been holding her waist steady began to move up and down her back.

Zoe froze at his instructions. Though she loved her mate and wanted to experience all that mated loving entailed, she knew she was neither bold enough nor brave enough to do this by herself.

Tears filled her eyes as she lifted her head from his chest and looked at him. “I don’t think I can do this alone,” she whispered. “I want to, but—”

The fingers in her ass stopped moving as Cash studied her face. “Oh, sweet mate, you’re not alone. But I understand. How about a little wolfie-style loving instead?”

“Huh?”

She gasped when his fingers pulled from her ass, missing their fullness immediately. With one arm across her back, he rolled them until she lay on her back, and he was crouched over her.

Pulling his arm from under her, he sat up and knelt between her widespread legs. Patting her mound with a gentle hand, he grinned at her, his expression screaming naughty sexual intentions.

“Okay, gypsy, up on your hands and knees, and I’ll teach you about wolfie-style and anal sex all in one lesson.”

Curiosity and excitement won out over nerves as Zoe rolled over and crawled around so she was on all fours with her ass facing Cash. “Now what?” she asked, looking over her shoulder at him.

Cash soothed his left hand up and down her spine. “Now you drop your shoulders to the bed, take deep breaths, and try to relax.”
