Story Excerpt
Country
music blared from the speakers and she looked around, hoping to spot Alex and
Mason. When she saw them, her heart skipped a beat. They were both so amazingly
good-looking in their cowboy garb. Feeling ill, Sophie twisted her hands in her
lap, trying to stay calm, but it was next to impossible. Alice reached over and
held her hand, giving her a comforting pat.
Alex’s
name was called over the loudspeaker, and she knew any minute now that he would
be in the center of the ring. A loud buzzer rang, and she held her breath as a
metal gate slammed open. She wanted to close her eyes, but she didn’t. Sophie
wanted to be supportive of Alex, even if he chose to ride bulls. Scoffing, she
said a quick prayer as the bull charged out of the small pen. Her eyes widened
as his body was thrashed around. He looked like a bobble head. That was the
only comparison she could come up with.
He
flew off the bull before the eight second buzzer rang out. Good, Lord, that was the longest eight seconds of my life. He
jumped up immediately and waved, proving that he wasn’t injured. Sophie waved
back, her hand still shaking. Relief swept through her, and it felt as if a
thirty pound weight lifted from her shoulders. Standing, Sophie awkwardly made
it down the stairs and over to where Alex and Mason were, Alice trailing behind
her. She waited for them to come out of the arena.
“I’m
whole and healthy, sweetheart.” Alex grinned, pulling her close for a hug.
Sophie
closed her eyes. If anything had
happened… She stopped that thought. Alex wasn’t an irresponsible man. He
was an experienced bull rider, but even that couldn’t necessarily prevent an
injury. She heard one man had already been sent to the hospital, proving this
was a very dangerous sport.
“Alex, I don’t think I can watch you do that
ever again.” She shook her head. “I don’t have the right to tell you to stop,
but I felt so sick sitting up there.”
“You
did great. Do you think you won?” Alice asked, looking up at Alex as if he were
some sort of hero.
“I’m
not sure.” He shrugged as if it didn’t matter, before giving Sophie his
attention.
“I
won’t take any unnecessary risks. If it makes you feel better, then I won’t get
back on a bull. It’s a young man’s game, anyway.” Alex smiled and kissed her
forehead.
“You’re
young and you wore all the safety gear,” she defended. The last thing she
wanted was for Alex to stop doing something he loved.
“That’s
true, but I don’t want my woman to be sick with worry, and I don’t want to ride
if you aren’t cheering me on. Besides, I don’t want my luck wearing off,” Alex
explained and Alice giggled. Sophie assumed it was probably because Alex had
just claimed her as his. She didn’t correct him or try to explain to Alice. It
felt good when he called her his woman.
“Your
luck won’t wear off, and I’ll always cheer you on. I’ll be fine. My heart can
take it.”
“Only
if you’re sure.”
“I
am.” Sophie had no idea what had just happened. Did I just agree with him riding bulls? Wait…I just told him to keep
riding, didn’t I? The man has muddled my mind.
“Let’s
go get some barbeque. It sure smells good.” Mason took her arm. Alice sided up
next to him and took his other arm.
“It
sure does,” Alice agreed.
The
four of them started walking toward the food stands that lined the north end of
the area. The layout of the rodeo was quite spectacular. And it was a bit
surprising seeing so many people. She’d never been to a rodeo. This whole
experience was and quite exciting. They passed various booths selling all sorts
of things like jewelry, leather belts, artwork, and she even spotted a booth
that sold guns.
“Do
you want to stop at one of the booths to see if there is anything you like?”
Alex leaned down and whispered in her ear, and Sophie smiled, shaking her head.
“Come
on, let’s look. You might find something you want,” Alex coaxed.
She
shrugged. “I didn’t bring any money.”
“You
don’t have to worry about that. You’re here with Mason and me. You’re our
woman, right?” he asked, staring at her. His eyes sparkled, begging her to
challenge him.
“Yes.”
She licked her lips. “I’m your woman.” Gosh,
I wish we were alone.
“Then
let’s go over and take a look.” Alex took the lead and then stopped in his
tracks, turning to face her. “I want to buy you something.” When she gave a
slight nod, he held her hand and made his way through the throngs of people and
over to the booths.

“Look
at you?” He looked down. “Both of you?” Mason and Alex looked at each other.
“Your bodies…how can those muscles be real?”
Throwing
back his head, Alex started laughing, and Mason joined in.
“Oh,
baby, you are way too cute. I’m just an ordinary guy.” Alex climbed onto the
bed, brushing his naked body against hers.
“Ordinary?
Do you even know what that word means? You’re more than ordinary.” Alex kissed
her then, not the gentle way he had before. No, this was raw and full of
passion.
The
sound of foil tearing got her attention, and she stopped the kiss to look at
Mason. He rolled the condom over his huge cock before climbing on the bed. She
stared at him as he moved between her legs. He lifted her thighs high and wide.
His cock pressed against the opening of her pussy.
She
stared at him, his blue eyes becoming darker, making him look sexy and a tad
dangerous. Slowly he pushed in and Sophie held her breath. It was unlike
anything she had ever felt, his hard cock covered in soft silk.
“You’re
so tight and hot, baby. Your pussy is pulling me in. It’s so good, the best
thing I’ve ever felt.” Mason’s eyes were gentle. He didn’t move for a minute,
letting her body adjust.
“You
look so beautiful.” Alex leaned down and kissed her.
Mason
started to move, slow strokes, working his cock all the way inside her. Sophie
reached up, needing to touch him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. They
stared at each other, and she could feel the connection grow between them.
Mason lay on top of her fully and kissed her lips all the while swiveling his
hips, driving his hard cock into her.
Pulling
back, he whispered, “I want you to suck Alex’s cock, sweetheart.” Mason moved
back then, giving her room.
Sophie
turned her head and looked at Alex. He sat back on the bed, smiling at her, and
she hated that he was so far away. Reaching out her hand, she grabbed his cock.
She pumped her hand slowly up and down his rigid length, and Alex groaned,
moving closer.
“Alex,
I want your cock in my mouth.” He responded to her dirty words immediately,
like she knew he would.
Going
to his knees before her, he held her head in his hand. “Nice and easy,
sweetheart.” She really didn’t have much experience, but she was quite eager to
please him.
Wrapping
her mouth around the head of his cock, she gently sucked him into her mouth.
Holding the base with her hand, she pumped his hard shaft while she licked and
sucked on him. She pretended he was a Popsicle, taking her time to cover his
entire length.
“Oh,
sweetheart, you’ve got a wicked little mouth.” Alex’s praise gave her all the
encouragement she needed. Sophie swallowed him then, bobbing her head faster.
“Oh,
fuck! Slow down, baby. I’m not going to last.” Alex wrapped her hair around his
fist then and took control, fucking her mouth in long, smooth strokes.
Mason lifted her legs higher
over his shoulders and fucked her deep. She felt his cock touch places inside
of her that had never been touched before. Gripping her hips tightly, he
slammed into her, fucking her harder, and Sophie yelled in her throat. Nothing
had ever felt so good. No man had ever fucked her with such passion. She never
wanted this moment to end. So thick and hot, his cock hammered in one explosion
after another as rapture began to race through her. She was on edge, and she
didn’t want to go over alone.
Sucking Alex harder and faster,
she moved her hips, meeting Mason’s, fucking him back. Her world started to
shatter, muscles tightening, and she could feel her climax within reach.
“Oh, God! Sweetheart, I’m gonna
come. If you don’t want to swallow…” Alex bellowed, pumping his hips, shoving
his cock down her throat.
This salty flavor exploded on
her tongue, and Sophie swallowed every drop. She kissed the head of his cock
once more before turning her attention back to Mason. She wanted to watch him
come. She wanted to see his face covered with passion.
“You’re so sexy,” Mason
growled, moving faster, fucking her harder. He reached between their bodies
and, using his thumb, he rubbed her clit in small, hard circles.
Sophie’s body tightened as she
screamed, as her body exploded with pleasure. Closing her eyes tight, she saw a
kaleidoscope of colors. In the distance she heard a masculine shout calling out
her name, and she felt the warm flood of Mason’s release.
Panting, she tried to catch her
breath. Mason moved then, and she felt a cool breeze touch her hot skin. She grumbled
a complaint right before two strong, male bodies cocooned her in warmth and
love. Someone pulled a blanket over them, and together they cuddled.
