Commando Cowboys Entice Their Beauty [Wyoming Warriors 6] (14 page)

“
No, I’m not
.”

Raoul and Aleron came back in followed by Daren, Garth, Garth’s mother, and Nanna.

“It worked with my mother.”

“What worked?” Jewel asked Garth. She had shifted back as soon as they entered.

“No one got your message until we joined Aleron and Raoul. Mother heard the last one and answered you. You picked up her communication and answered.”

“I did, but how can you hear me and they can’t?” Jewel asked Garth’s mother.

Aileen Sherwyn touched Jewel’s hand and turned the palm up. “You have some strong magic,” Jewel said.

“I do. I come from a long line of good witches.” If she’d dropped a bomb in the room their faces wouldn’t have looked more stunned.

“Your ancestors were part of the original gypsy tribe, Mrs. Sherwyn?” Daren asked.

“Yes. And please, all of you call me Mother Aileen. I’m hoping the three tribes will finally integrate together and be as you were at the start, one strong extended family. Now tell Nanna and me how we can help.”

Mitch explained their plan for Jewel. Nanna and Mother Aileen motioned for Raoul and Aleron to move. They sat on either side of Jewel and each took one of her hands.

“It is a strong evil you will confront. You must not arouse her suspicions. She may be aware we have shape-shifters on our side,” Nanna said.

“None of us have changed in front of the enemy as far as we know,” Garth said. Then he hesitated. “But Aleron battled them, and they might have known who he was.”

“If the one who survived Aleron’s attack knows about the shape-shifters I don’t believe he has told the stronger one.” Nanna looked directly into Jewel’s lilac eyes. “At the right time he may try to help you if he can fight off her evil spell.”

Mother Aileen squeezed her hand to get Jewel’s attention.

“I could try and put a protective shell around you, but I doubt it would work when you shape-shifted or the evil one might be able to feel the shield, putting you in more danger. You are brave. Stay true to your heart. Goodness will beat the evil back.”

Puzzled by their words, Jewel just nodded yes and hoped for the best. Still, she did feel stronger by being connected to these two women.

“I will be nearby to pick up your thoughts,” Mother Aileen said. “You can get through to me. If you need rescuing, our warriors will storm the house.”

Jewel looked around the room. “How can you if they have an invisible shield in place?”

“If you’re in trouble, you must shift into your big cat and attack her. My guess is she controls the shield with her mind. Once you divert her attention the men can hopefully get through,” Nanna said.

“All right, are we ready?” Mitch asked the group. “We’ll have our warriors prepared and close by. Also our two best sharpshooters will be on a roof across from the target house. Jewel, tomorrow morning you’ll start working that area. That’s it. Try to get a good rest. We’ll all need it.”

The group went upstairs and Jewel, Aleron, and Raoul said their good-byes and headed to the truck. They were quiet on the drive home. Once they were inside the house, Jewel turned to her men. “Hold me.”

“Are you scared?” Aleron asked as they put her in the middle and wrapped their arms around her.

“Terrified.”

“You don’t have to do it,” Raoul said.

“Yes, I do. I can help save lives.”

Aleron picked her up and carried her into his room, where he laid her on the bed and removed her shoes. He rubbed her feet as he talked. “We men don’t like to admit it, but we all feel that sizzle of fear before a fight or a struggle. Some of us call it our adrenaline rush, but deep down we know fear is mixed in. When you actually start on the mission the buzz settles down.”

“That’s true.” Raoul agreed with Aleron. “You need to sleep tonight. Let’s see if we can’t help.” He reached for her shirt and started unbuttoning it. Aleron undid her jean button and the zipper and pulled them and her panties off.

Raoul undid her shirt and bra then threw both onto a chair. His warm hands covered her breasts. She sighed as his warmth spread from her breasts to her core.

Aleron continued his gentle massage of her feet and then her legs. “This might be a good time to use the cream Garth gave us, but just a little.” He went into his bathroom and returned with the jar. After he put a tiny drop on his hands he gave the jar to Raoul.

Now as Aleron massaged her feet and legs, all her muscles relaxed and she sank into the soft mattress. Raoul rubbed his hands across her full breasts and lightly pinched her nipples. Her pussy got very wet.

The soothing heat got hotter and her skin more sensitive. Just the brush of Raoul’s fingers across her nipples made the inner walls of her pussy clench in hunger. She wanted one of their hard cocks inside her.

Aleron separated her lower lips and ran his tongue over her clit. Her body bowed as she moaned his name. He sucked on her clit and she screamed out with ecstasy.

Raoul straddled her and put his hard cock against her lips. She took him deep into her mouth and explored his satin hardness with her tongue. As Aleron licked and raked his teeth along her lower lips, she held Raoul’s cock at the base, cupped his sac in her other hand, and sucked on his dick.

A riot of feelings swamped her body, from heat radiating out in all directions, to an exotic urge deep inside that caused her pussy to clench and unclench, to the sizzle of desire shooting up her spine. She was a captive to their touch and taste.

Jewel gently caressed Raoul’s balls as she moved her mouth along his length faster and faster.

“I’m going to come, if you want to pull back,” Raoul said.

She sucked again and tasted his salty release. She kissed the crown of his cock before he fell to the side.

Aleron reached up and rubbed her very sensitive nipples as he licked her and his tongue tasted inside her pussy opening.

“Take me, please,” she moaned.

He positioned his wide, hard cock at her opening and slid all the way in. His pulsing cock beat against her inner walls. Then he started to move out in long, slow slides and inward in a faster glide. Her pussy rippled around his cock, and her body shook as heat and an aching desire built into a raging inferno. When Aleron plunged in hard against her womb, her world exploded.

Afterward Aleron pulled her to face him and wrapped his arms around her body. Raoul cuddled close against her backside.

“Go to sleep, darlin’,” Aleron whispered in her ear.

Jewel closed her eyes, enjoying the feel of her body snug between them. For tonight she was safe.

* * * *

She woke to an empty bed. It was early. Only faint light came around the curtains. She moved her body and stretched. Even though she’d only slept a few hours, she felt rested. She’d jump in the shower and then find Aleron and Raoul.

After she’d dressed, Jewel started to walk into the living room, when she heard Raoul’s voice.

“Yes, we know. Eight o’clock is the start time. We’ll join you at headquarters. I don’t trust us to be too close. We might get worried and interfere. See you soon.” Raoul shut his phone.

“Who was that?” Jewel asked as she walked up behind Raoul.

“Mitch said the mission starts at eight. As you heard, Aleron and I will be at headquarters. Mitch is using a tent where some of the third tribe have been sleeping. He doesn’t want too many people there, but he agrees it’s best if we join him. Do you want breakfast?”

“Not much. I’ll fix some tea and toast for myself. Do you all want some?”

“No, we had coffee,” Raoul said.

“Then do you mind going on ahead of me? I need some time alone. But wait, I have some clothes for you to give to Sara.” She went back to the bedroom and came back with her outfit. “Ask her to put them in the last greenhouse. I don’t want to be naked around whoever is at the ranch house when I arrive and shift.”

They stared at her for several seconds. Aleron sighed and gave her a half smile. “Good idea. Be careful, please.”

Raoul looked unhappy but followed Aleron to the truck. Thank goodness they had understood even if they didn’t like it. Gradually, her nerves settled and she was ready. It was time to shift.

She opened the door a crack then shifted to her big cat. She stretched and walked around the room a few minutes before shifting to her kitten. Jewel managed to squeeze out the door and run fast toward the street they’d marked on the map last night.

The air was cool and crisp. She loved this type of morning. As she scampered along the wind blew through her multicolored fur.

Jewel slowed as she turned the corner. Now she took her time, sniffing at trash cans, playing with small rocks, pushing them with her nose or paw. At one point she found a shady spot and curled into a ball to rest. After what seemed like several hours, a door to the house opened and a small boy ran outside. He hurried to a swing hung from a tree not far from where Jewel lay.

“Look at me, Momma.” A blonde-haired woman glanced at the boy. “Don’t yell, Nathaniel.” She frowned and mumbled, “We don’t need the nosy neighbors looking this way.”

Jewel stretched before heading casually in the boy’s direction. It didn’t take him long to see her. He jumped off the swing and ran toward her.

“A kitty, Momma,” he shrieked.

His mother turned and grabbed him tightly by the shoulder. “Since you can’t shut up, we’ll go inside.”

“But, Momma, can I have the kitty?”

Linda hesitated. She leaned down to stare more closely at Jewel. Jewel had already brought the sheath across her eyes to make them look like a cat’s.

Nathaniel picked her up so she was hanging half off his arm. He rubbed her fur. “She’s pretty, Momma.”

“She’s certainly different.” She glanced around the area again. “I don’t see a momma cat. I expect someone will be advertising for her return. You can keep the kitten until we find the real owner.”

Once inside, Jewel managed to jump from Nathaniel’s arm and hide under the sofa. “Momma,” Nathaniel cried out. “My kitty’s under the couch.”

“That’s what cats do, honey.” She ruffled his hair.

Jewel observed from a spot where she saw them but they didn’t see her. The mother was much more relaxed inside.

Nate came into the room. Nathaniel ran to him.

“Daddy, I have a cat.” He reached under the sofa to get Jewel, but she backed against the wall. His little hand couldn’t reach her.

“Really, that’s great,” his father said. “I’ll help you get the kitten out. He or she is probably scared.” Nate moved the sofa and scooped Jewel into his hands, and then gently placed her in his son’s arms.

“You have to be gentle,” he instructed his son. “Hold her carefully and sit on the chair.” Nathaniel did as told. Jewel tucked her head down and pretended to be asleep but kept her eyes open a tiny slit.

Linda paced around the room. “I took your parents their breakfast. Your mother keeps whining and begging to be released. We should kill them and get it over with.”

“No,” Nate said emphatically. “And watch how you talk around our son.”

She leaned her face right up to Nate. “I give the orders, remember. I can’t understand why I have to redo the spell on you over and over. It should last. Push me too far and when we’ve won this fight I’ll kill you also.”

Linda glanced at the cat. “I’m not so sure about this thing.” She took Jewel out of her son’s hands and stared at her long and hard. Jewel stuck her little tongue out and licked Linda’s hand.
Ugh, I’ll probably die of something from touching her, but it worked
. Linda brushed her fur and handed her back to Nathaniel. “Take the kitten to your room and keep her there. If I see her out here, I’ll kick her outside.”

Nathaniel grabbed her in a tight grip and ran. Jewel heard Linda say, “She’s such an unusual color. Do you know of any shifters who can become kittens?”

Just as Nathaniel shut his door she heard Nate respond, “Only big cats. I’ve never known of a kitten.”

The door closed, cutting her off from hearing any more of their conversation. Nathaniel placed her on the floor. She moved around smelling things, licking a few. The little boy lay on his bed and watched her.

She wasn’t going to do much good stuck in this room. But she had found out the parents were restrained somewhere in the house and Nate had a spell on him that didn’t last long. She curled into a ball and rested. Patience is what she needed. She’d think about the paintings she wanted to do in the future. Nathaniel had fallen asleep on his bed and the house was quiet.

After a while Jewel heard the front door open and shut. Maybe now would be a good time to try and send a message. She hoped the one going out was Linda. She was smart and might have a way to sense telepathic thoughts.

Jewel decided to chance it. She sent the message and told about the parents, Nate, and her being shut in the boy’s room.

In a few minutes, she heard Mama Aileen’s words.
“You’ve found out a lot in a short time. It was the woman who left. She drove off in their car. I wonder if she’ll try to drive off the ranch. I’m sending your message to Garth at the tent. They may put down the net long enough to see where she goes. If you get in trouble, remember all you have to send is one word,
help
