Reece (Stud Ranch 4)

When he came, he blew like a goddamn freight train, so much cum exploding down my throat. I swallowed and then swallowed more, but still his creamy cum spilled out the sides of my mouth.

Still I didn’t let up, continuing pressure against his prostate until he was crying out incoherently and fucking my mouth.

When it seemed like he had nothing else and his voice was a mere whine against the night, I finally released him. He collapsed to the side of me.

I continued holding his cock, licking and lathing at the spilled cum until every single droplet was licked clean.

Two nights later, I collapsed onto Reece’s chest, having just finished playing a round of seduce-the-ranch-hand.

We were back in the stables, lying on a sleeping bag Reece had thoughtfully prepared ahead of time. My entire body felt liquid and melty from the multiple orgasms Reece had just pulled from me. I curled my arm around his wide torso as I laid my head on his chest, both of us still breathing hard from our exertions.

Neither of us spoke. We usually didn’t in the aftermath. What was there to say when you’d just had your brains fucked out in the best sex of your life? Well, it was certainly the best sex of my life; I couldn’t speak for him. But if the way he kept coming back for more said anything, he was enjoying himself plenty.

I liked hugging the warmth of him and hearing his heart pound away through his chest underneath my ear. I liked being connected to another human being like this. It was completely novel to me. Touching someone like this and feeling… safe.

My eyes dropped shut as I cozied up closer to him. Just a few minutes. I’d allow myself just a few more minutes of this heaven and then we’d pull ourselves together and go back inside…

“What the fuck?”

I frowned and snuggled instinctively against the warmth. But then everything was shifting, jerking, and—

“Jer. It’s not what you think.”

My eyes popped all the way open as Reece shifted out from underneath me and I realized. The stable. We’d fallen asleep in the stable.

Shit.

I scrambled to sit up and pull the thick robe around myself that Reece had draped across us like a blanket at some point last night.

Only to look up and see Reece’s face mirrored on his twin’s—except unlike Reece’s, Jeremiah’s face was twisted in a way I’d never seen. Disappointment. Disgust, maybe even. Anger, definitely.

I pulled my knees up against my chest and Reece moved in front of me as a shield. Oh shit, I was naked, and Jeremiah had just caught us—

“We can talk about this later. Just let me get Charlie inside.”

“Oh, so now you’re a gentleman?” Jeremiah scoffed, then looked at the floor, where a blunt had fallen out of Reece’s pocket in the night. He hadn’t even smoked it last night, but I knew he carried them with him sometimes.

Jeremiah reached down and picked it up, then shook his head, taking just a quick glance my way before glaring back at his brother. “I should have fucking known. If there’s a vulnerable woman within ten miles of you, you’re gonna find a way to get your dick involved. This is Peg all over again.”

Reece launched himself to his feet. At least he had his jeans on. “Shut your goddamn mouth before both of us regret it.”

“Or you’re gonna do what, little brother? Hit me? Screw up another opportunity for us and set us back to square one, for what, the hundredth time? Sexual harassment and drug possession—great, real great. Jesus, you just can’t help yourself. Except wait, you can, because you’re a grown man. Or at least supposed to be.”

“Stop it,” I yelled, yanking the robe around me for modesty’s sake. “Both of you, stop it.”

Last night felt like something out of a dream. Every night with Reece did. But here, with everything exposed in the daylight, I felt unsteady. Off-kilter. Everything that had seemed so clear last night suddenly evaporated with the dawn and this horrible argument.

I hated to see them argue. I hated to be the cause of the arguing.

The scent of burnt crème anglaise from my nightmares was filling the air. Landing hard on the ground beside shattered glass shards, my cheek on fire. Why do you ruin EVERYTHING, you stupid bitch?

I stood up and shoved my feet into my slippers. All these nights trying to be something else, to be someone else… God, it was all just self-delusion. I was still her and I always would be.

“And look,” I whisked the robe around my shoulders. “There’s no problem anymore, ’cause I quit, okay? I was never gonna stay around here long anyway. Just give me my pay for the work I’ve done till now and I’m gone.”

I stomped out of the stable, my nose burning and hot tears scalding my eyes.
