Cowboy Save Me: By Judith Lee (Tiller Brothers Book 1) (12 page)

Cody pulled the comforter back and lay on his back with Tammy draped over his body. Her body was languid, and she felt good snuggled against him.  He could definitely get used to this.  He had never slept with a woman but the day’s events were catching up with him and he pulled the sheet and comforter over their bodies.  He wanted to rest his eyes for just a minute, he told himself, before he devoured her body again.

Tammy woke up feeling warm, cozy, and so content.  She had never known this feeling.  Her hair was spilled over his chest and her lips were pressed just inches from his nipple. She took a deep breath of Cody, smelling his unique manly musky smell.  Her insides clinched and she was suddenly drenched in liquid heat.  Just the memory of their lovemaking shot a volt of electricity into her body.

Her lips involuntarily sought his nipple.  She licked it with the tip of her tongue and then leaned closer so she could suck his nub into her mouth.

He groaned, still half asleep.  She moved her lips lower to the flat plane of his belly stopping to play with his belly button.  He moved his hand to her back, not pulling or pushing her, just seemingly content to hold her.

She looked up into his eyes which were barely open.  He smiled at her.

“Are you having fun down there, sweet darlin’?” he drawled in a lazy seductive voice.

“Hmm.  May I play some more down here, sir?” she asked impishly.

He stroked her hair, pulling it back away from her face.  This was a new experience for her.  She had never been the aggressor and she had certainly never instigated sex.

“You don’t have to ask permission, but just so you know there are consequences to your being a naughty little girl.”

“I like the sound of that,” she nuzzled lower coming to the ‘v’ of hair dipping toward his package.”

His penis had grown bigger with each encroachment of her lips and was now standing hard and erect.  She tentatively touched her tongue to the tip of his penis where drops of pre cum shimmered.  Tammy just had to taste him, and she closed her lips around the foreskin of his penis. Salty. She felt him jump in response to her.  Her hands closed around his shaft and she marveled at the feel…velvety, yet strong.  Such a contrast.

She gently wrapped her hands tighter around his swollen penis and tentatively began moving up and down.  Having never done this before she didn’t know how much pressure to apply. 

He sat up slightly capturing her hair in his hand.  His other hand encircled her fingers and he griped tighter to show her how much pressure she should apply.  Much harder than she thought she could.

“Swallow more of me in your mouth, yes like that…Oh damn Tammy.”

She smiled at his pleasure, and let his cock slip as far back in her mouth and throat as she could and she sucked careful trying not to scrap him with her teeth.

“That’s right baby.  I’m so close. He pulled on her hair as he pumped into her mouth.”

She had read about men spurting their sperm into a woman’s mouth as they swallowed every drop but she didn’t know if she had the courage to do that.  But on the other hand, the noises he was whimpering were making her as excited as he was and she didn’t want to stop.  She loved his reaction and when she felt his staff tighten, she reached down and gently cupped his balls in her hands.

“Honey, stop…”

She sucked him even harder until she felt the first sprays of his semen trickling down her throat.  Tammy wasn’t about to stop, she had come this far, and she kept swallowing.  She was surprised that it didn’t disgust her and in fact it had felt like the most natural thing in the world to do.

When he was done, he lifted her chin and brought her body to his and kissed her deeply.

“Thank you.” 

He kissed her over and over again her until she felt tingly inside.  He ran his hands up the inside of her arms raising them above her head.  His smile was purely wicked. 

“You’ve been a very naughty little girl and,” he kissed her, “I liked it so I am going to give you a reward instead of a punishment.”

Cody reached for a pillow and removed the pillow case, and he spun it in a circle like a lariat until it resembled a rope.  He took her hands and wrapped the pillow case in a circle and tied her hands together above her head. 

“You trust me, Tammy? You know I’ll never hurt you.”

Her body trembled and tightened but she didn’t look away from his eyes. Should she tell him that Marcus had tied her up often and beat her before he raped her?  She would not shed tears and she refused to remember what Marcus had done to her.  Yes, she did trust Cody. 

“Yes,” she said quietly.

He looked at her with reverence.  She felt cherished.  She didn’t cringe when he ran his fingers from the top of her arms, over her breast, down her stomach, pausing a few minutes over her clit, and down her legs.  He kissed the back of her knees while his fingers roamed down her ankles and back up. His fingers spread her labia until he was allowed full access to her clit. Slowly he lowered his head to her woman’s core and he blew gentle breaths into her vagina.  His tongue licked her all the way up to her little nub. 

She was moaning and started to bring her tied hands down, but he looked up and stopped her with his eyes.

“Stay still.  It’s my turn to pleasure you.” His voice was authoritative and sexy.

He kept devouring her but stopping just short of her coming.  He’d pull away to kiss the inside of her thighs.  He did this to her over and over until she was wiggling and she cried, “Cody, I can’t stand it any longer. Take me now!”

He lifted his body and turned her over and raised her hips up against him.  He put several pillows under her hips.  Slowly from the back, he entered her.  They both made a sound of pure joy.

“Now my little filly it’s my turn for a ride and I have to tell you I don’t buck off easy. It’s going to be hard and fast.”

“For eight seconds?” she panted.

He laughed and playfully slapped her butt, “Not if I can help it.”

The thrusts came fast and hard and his balls slapped into her woman’s nest.  The rhythm was unrelenting and she met him thrust for thrust.  After several mind blowing minutes, he lowered himself. He supported himself with one hand and his other hand traveled from her throat over her nipples where he gave them a gentle tug and caress, and finally to her clit which was creamy.  He rubbed with his thumb as he continued to pound into her. 

Explosion. Her body rocked with spasm after spasm. She screamed and bit into the sheet, and thrust her butt higher into his oncoming cock.  He followed her quickly, roaring as he filled her with his seed. He lowered himself down onto her back and kissed her neck.  His fingers reached up and he untied her hands and turned her on her side with his body hugging her back, his legs thrown over her thighs in such a protective hold, that she started to cry.

“Shh…I’m sorry.”

The tears rolled down her eyes.

“You didn’t hurt me, I just feel…overwhelmed. I wish I had never known the other side of sex, the cruel side where there is no respect, no tenderness, no caring in every stroke. I have never been held with such reverence…devotion.  You make me feel so…protected.” She whispered between sobs.

He turned her head back toward his mouth and kissed her.  He ran his fingers over her cheeks wiping away the tears.

“I wish I could make those memories go away.  I wish I had met you first.  I will protect you.  You can count on that darlin’.”

He kissed her again.

“I’m suddenly famished.  Did we even eat last night?  I can’t remember anything except how much I had wanted you,” Cody asked her.

“Okay, cowboy, I think I saw a Denny’s nearby.  Let’s go get some pancakes, eggs, toast, biscuits and gravy, sausage, and…”

He kissed her and pulled her out of the bed. 

“I’ve been slacking in taking care of you.  Sounds like you are starving.  Will you share some of that food with this ole’ cowboy?”

After cleaning up in the bathroom, they helped each other get dressed which almost resulted in them getting back into bed.  But when her stomach growled, he had to push her away from him.

“Stop, I can’t touch you…or we’ll never get you fed.”

“You started it.”

He tapped her hat on her head, and ran his fingers through his hair and put on his hat.  He took her hand and they opened the door.

They both froze as they looked at the outside of the door.  The word “Slut” had been painted on the door.

Cody’s head snapped in both directions down the hall. He wrapped his arm around her, and pulled her toward the elevators.  They stopped at the front desk and reported what had been painted on her door.  He wanted to call the Sheriff, as Cody knew him.  The manager called both the Sheriff and the Cheyenne Police Department.

After meeting with them, and explaining the situation with Marcus, they asked the manager if the halls had cameras that could have recorded who ever had done this.  It only took a few minutes for the recording to go in reverse until they saw a man, dressed in a black sweatshirt and jeans and a spray can. His eyes looked evil.

“Is that him, Tammy?” the Sheriff asked.

Tears were rolling down her eyes and she shook her head yes before she looked at the floor.

“Cody, let’s go find Jenny and your brothers and make sure they are okay.  I would just die if anything happened to them because of me.”

“None of this is your fault Tammy.  I’ll call Dakota and we’ll drop by Jenny’s room…it’s on the fifth floor.”

The police said they would put a patrol car at the hotel, and post Marcus’s picture to the other officers.

As they rode the elevator, Cody called Dakota.

“Hey bro.  Marcus is back and he painted ‘slut’ on our hotel room door.  They got him doing it on the tape. Just wanted to have you check-in with Cameron and Matt for me. Tammy and I are on our way to Jenny’s room right now.”

“I’ll be there in a minute.”

“No, you don’t need to come.”

“Hell, if I won’t; I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Alright, good, meet us at Jenny’s room.  After we check on her, we’re going to get something to eat and I’d like you to come as long as you’re getting up.”

The elevator door opened and they walked to room 5205.  Dakota came out of his door a few rooms down the hall, just zipping his pants on, with a shirt thrown over one shoulder.

They knocked.  Tammy gripped Cody’s hand tightly.  Jared answered the door barefoot, with his jeans pulled up but not buttoned and hanging low on his hips exposing a little of his pubic hair, his chest was bare.  Jenny appeared a few seconds later with a sheet wrapped around her naked body.

Before Cody or Dakota could recover from their shock of Jared answering the door to their sister’s room, Tammy threw her arms around Jenny.

“Oh, thank heavens, you’re okay.  Jared thank God you were with her.  Marcus is here and we are so worried.  He targeted you before and I just was so afraid…”  Tammy started crying again.

Both brothers glared at Jared, but didn’t say anything.  The tension rippled in waves off their bodies.

“Get dressed, we’re going to get something to eat and we want you with us,” Cody demanded of Jenny.

“Give us a minute and we’ll be right out,” the door slammed shut.

Tammy put her arms around Cody and buried her head in his chest. 

“It’ll be okay, darlin’.  We won’t let anything happen to you or Jenny.”

He ran his hand over her hair and looked at Dakota.

They looked at each other and saw determination in their eyes.  There would be another time to beat the shit out of Jared.

***

They all ate quietly. They didn’t order as much food ordered as Tammy had originally said she wanted.  But it was surprisingly good considering all the stress that surrounded the people at the table.

Dakota said, “I’ll follow you two home tomorrow and we’ll get Sheriff Roberts up to date on the latest events.”

“Don’t you have a rodeo to head out to?”

“Not for a few days.  I was going to see if you needed any help with those colts for a few days before I headed out.”

“Jenny can ride with me to the ranch,” Jared offered. 

Tammy thought Jared didn’t look intimidated by Jenny’s brothers who were burning holes into his hide.

“Jared, I promised Matt I’d go with him to check out his new room at UW,” Jenny told him.

Cody shook his head, “I’ll send Cameron to go check out the university with him since Cameron’s got a few days off too.  I just wouldn’t feel right sending you to Laramie right now.  My guess is that Marcus was stalking Tammy while she was in Laramie and he probably has a hideout there, or in the mountains nearby.”

“Jenny, you can ride with me,” Dakota said as he glared at Jared.

She shook her head at both her brothers.  “If I’m going home, I’ll ride with Jared.  I asked him to come help me pick out a condo, you know, like I talked to you about Cody.”

“Now’s not the time to be going all independent on me with a lunatic on the run.  Let’s catch this bastard and get him put back in jail, before you move out.”

Cody was watching Tammy while he talked to Jenny and he was getting worried.  Tammy looked lost.  He could tell she was pulling back, going into her protective shell again.  He could see her mind working and he remembered what her father had said about how stubborn she was and that she wanted to fight Marcus by herself.  As soon as they got back to the room, he was going to tell her that she was moving out to the ranch.  Period…no questions asked.  He wasn’t going to be worrying about what could happen to her if she lived alone.  However, he wisely decided to hold his discussion until they were alone.

After they finished eating, Jenny turned to Cody and Dakota.  She had that ‘I’m going to kick your ass’ look on her face.

“Jared and I are going back to my room.  He is perfectly capable of protecting me, and he will take me home in the morning.  If you have a problem with that, I don’t give a damn.”

She reached for Jared’s hand, and pulled him toward the door. He tipped his hat to her brothers.

“Kind of growing up on us, isn’t she?” Dakota said.  “Better let her sow her oats and hopefully she will wise up about that jackass and then we’re going to have to do some serious ass whipping.  And look he didn’t even leave any money for the meal.”

Both brothers chuckled. They tipped their coffee cups to each other.

Cody turned to focus on Tammy.  She was looking out the window with a far-away look in her eyes.  He missed the woman she had been with him just a few hours ago.  The life had gone out of her eyes and they were dull.  He felt like he was losing her already.  He wasn’t going to lose her without a fight.

Tammy turned to Cody and said, “I want to go home.  Can we leave right now?  You know I won’t be able to sleep in this hotel...and I’m scared.”  Her eyes looked haunted.

“We can go now, darlin’…that okay with you Dakota?”

They agreed to get their clothes and meet in the parking lot in about fifteen minutes.

An hour into the drive, Tammy slept with her head against the window.  Cody had covered her up with a wool blanket he always kept in the truck.  He had a hard time concentrating on the road and he couldn’t quit looking at her. She looked little, frail, and so defeated even in sleep.  Cody wanted to stop the truck and gather her in his arms and hold her, keep her warm.  It was going to be a long night.

At about fifteen minutes from Gillette, Cody reached over and rubbed Tammy’s shoulder.  She slowly opened her eyes and sat up quickly looking around.  She looked frightened. God, he hated to see her in pain.

“I’m sorry, I forgot where I was.  I’m okay.  Are we almost home?”

He reached over and held her hand and caressed her fingers. “Yes. We’ll head right to the ranch, and in the morning we can go over to your condo and get what you will need.”  It wasn’t a question, but a declaration.  He wasn’t letting her out of his sight.

She had that stubborn look in her eyes, and she was shaking her head before she even started speaking. “I am not going to put your family in the headlights of my ex-husband.”

“Tammy, do you really think Marcus would go up against me?”

“But Cody…what if he has a gun?”

“I have a gun, and I know how to use it but I don’t think Marcus would have been able to get a gun.  From what you and your father have told me he’s just a bully who likes to use his fists on women, on my woman…”  Cody gave her an unwavering look, “and if he were any kind of a man he would have already approached me.  You’re his target.  He only knows you as helpless woman who he thinks he can control with his fists and his threats.  He doesn’t know that you’ve turned into a warrior who isn’t going to take shit from him anymore.  But Tammy he is still dangerous.”

Her eyes closed.  “I have trained hard but I admit to you I teeter between being scared to death and being just damn angry.  He doesn’t follow rules, Cody, and he’s sneaky.  He wouldn’t come to you man to man. He’s a coward, I know that, but he could take out anyone…you, Jenny, your brothers without a feeling of remorse.”

“You expect me to let you be the sacrificial lamb and leave you alone for bait?  If what you tell me is true, he’ll break in the window some night when you’re sleeping and I might not be there to protect you.” 

Even the thought sent a chill deep inside.  “I can’t protect you and Jenny, if we are separated.  We have a better chance united and together.”

She knew he was right but if she just broke it off from Cody right now and Marcus didn’t see her with Cody any more he would quit targeting Cody’s family.  The thought of never being with Cody again broke her heart.  He had showed her what it was like to be cherished.  But she could live with that memory if no one in his family was injured because of her.

“I’m not giving up my work Cody.  I’ve given him too much of my life already and I’ve fought so hard to have the courage to stand on my own two feet.” 

She undid her seat beat and slid over to his side and laid her head against shoulder.  She didn’t know what to do.

“Honey, you’re too tired to make a decision tonight.  And when you’re ready to go back to work I’ll drive you to work every day and pick you up.  Your boss knows what is happening and he’ll watch out for you while you are there. You have to learn to trust me.  I care about you.”

She looked up into Cody’s eyes.  “Okay” she said in a little voice.  “For now… but if I see you or your family put in danger because of me, I will move back to my condo.”

“That’s all I ask.  Give me a chance to protect you.  What we have started between us is worth fighting for and I know you want to be strong, just choose to be strong with me by your side.”

He kissed her forehead before he turned into the dirt road. “Put your seat belt back on, I don’t want you to bounce out of the car.”  Cody looked in the rear view mirror and Dakota was following close behind him.

At the ranch, he went around to the passenger door, and opened the door.  He reached in and picked her up in his arms.

“Cody, I can walk,” she laughed. “You’ve got to quit carrying me around.”             

“Are you insulting my manhood again, because lifting you is like lifting a feather and I like to carry you Tammy.”

She giggled. Cody liked that he could see a little sparkle in her eyes again.

Dakota got out of the truck and they walked into the ranch house together. 

“Night, Dakota…Thanks for following us,” Cody yelled back at his brother.

Without even asking Tammy, he took her to his bedroom.  She wasn’t going to be sleeping anywhere but with him… and when his mom and dad got home, they’d move into the motor home that was stored in the back barn. He knew this relationship with Tammy was in its infancy stage.  But it felt so damn right. He didn’t want to let her go. With any luck Marcus would get caught and put back in jail, he hoped sooner rather than later.  All he knew at this moment was that he had the strongest urge to protect her and the only way to protect her was to keep her close.

***

She ran her fingers through his hair and pulled his head down so she could kiss him.

“What am I going to do with you? You are kind of bossy, you know. Something happens to me when I am in your arms and you don’t play fair, Cody.”

He kissed her again and this time he pulled her close in his arms running his hands up and down her back.

“You like me bossy,” he growled in her ear and bit her ear lobe, “…and cowboys know how to play dirty.”  His fingers trailed across her breasts.  “…and we always get what we want.”

The kiss turned intense. Cody removed their clothes and laid her in his bed. Thought vanished. The need to quench the thirst building in her pussy was paramount. She didn’t even care that Dakota was just a room away, so when she started screaming, Cody simply sealed his mouth over hers to swallow her moans.

They came together quickly with very little foreplay, the need was so great.  He stroked her slowly while his hands roamed over her body.  His lips stopped long enough to taste her breasts, and she ran her hand down his back and threaded his hair with her fingers.  He pushed deeper and changed the angle; she could feel him gliding over her clit.  He came before she did, but he used his fingers to help her catch up with him.  He rested his head on her forehead with his eyes closed.  They were sweaty and sated.

“I can’t get enough of you. You are so beautiful.”

He tucked her close to his body and pulled the quilt over their shoulder and kissed her behind her ear.  She made a purring noise, rubbed her back into his chest, and pulled his arms tighter around her.
