Commando Cowboys Entice Their Beauty [Wyoming Warriors 6] (18 page)

“Absolutely,” Nanna said.

“You have always led us right, Nanna. We’ll do as you say.”

He passed the note around to the others at the table.

When it got to Aleron, he held it where Garth and Lann could also read it.

I fear the enemy knows your plan and when you are going to attack. Wait until tomorrow and go at dawn. They will be confused when you don’t strike tonight and tired from waiting for the attack. Do not tell anyone other than your most trusted warriors and your wives. Absolutely no one else.

“Clever,” Aleron mumbled.

“I agree,” Lann said. “I think I’ll go talk with my warriors. I’ll tell them our plan is for tonight. We won’t let the real time be known until midnight, and then to only the lead warriors.”

Mitch and Daren nodded their heads. “We’ll have our men ready for the midnight strike. And we will tell no one outside of this room, other than those few trusted warriors and our wives, the real time until absolutely necessary.”

“I’m stopping by the hospital,” Aleron told Lann and Garth. “I’ll meet up with you all later.”

Daren signaled to Mitch. “Let’s go talk to Nate.” They followed the others out.

Jewel smiled when she saw Aleron rush into her room. Raoul sat close beside her holding her hand. She pulled away and put both arms out to Aleron.

He took hold of her hands. “Can I hug you without doing any damage?”

“I’m almost well.” She raised her gown and showed the faint, long scar along her right side and other scars from the smaller wounds they’d sewn up. “The first bite did most of the damage. In fact, Mom and Dad were so reassured they went on home. And Mom said she forgave me, but no more secrets. Hearing her say those words made me feel even better.”

“Our surgeon and Jack are amazed at how fast she’s recovered. We can take her home in the morning, and the only restrictions are she can’t shift until the doctor checks her again.”

“I can manage that,” Jewel said. “I’ve had years of suppressing my desire to shift.”

Still being careful, Aleron bent down and put his arms around her. Jewel ran her hand along the side of his head and whispered directly in his ear, “I’m fine. I love you and Raoul, and I’m going to live to marry you. Then I’ll boss the two of you around.”

He chuckled in her ear, sending a sizzle of pleasure down her spine. “We’ll see about who bosses who.”

Before sitting on the chair beside Raoul, Aleron kissed her lips and took a nibble at her lower lip. Then he joined Raoul at her side.

“I feel so much better having you both here with me.”

“I wanted to be here sooner, but the pot is boiling, and we have to strike while we have the element of surprise.”

“When do we go to battle?” Raoul asked.

“Tonight at midnight.” Aleron glanced around the room. “I don’t guess they have a microphone hidden here to catch our conversation.” Meanwhile he handed Raoul a paper. He’d written down what happened and the true time of the attack.

Raoul looked surprised but folded the message and put it in his shirt pocket. Jewel started to speak, but Raoul put his finger across her lips.

“Don’t ask again to go home tonight. We’ll be busy, and you aren’t going to be alone.”

“I knew that when Aleron told you the plan. I could go to the ranch house with the others, but I hate crowds.”

“We know. You’re going to love our honeymoon in Oregon. We’ll get married as soon as this is all over. After tonight hopefully we can start planning our wedding.” Raoul winked at her and curled her toes with his sexy smile

“In the meantime, lock my door. If you’re going into battle, I want some loving before the two of you head out.”

“I don’t think we’d better,” Aleron cautioned.

“Raoul”—Jewel nodded at him—“had the nerve to ask the doctor specifically. I was so embarrassed. Thank goodness my parents had left.” She gave Raoul a fake frown. “But the surgeon laughed and said go for it. He said his stitches were good and tight and with my scar so faint he was certain I’d healed inside as well.” She grabbed Aleron’s hand. “Come here.”

Laughing, he let her pull him to her side. “Lean down.”

Aleron did as she said. “Raoul and I already tested it out right after he left.” He glanced at Raoul.

“I was hungry. You strike when the time’s right. Anyway, I need some exercise. I’m going down to the cafeteria to leave you two alone. I don’t think she’s up to both of us at once.”

After the door shut behind Raoul, Aleron hooked his belt around the door handle and a safety bar nearby. If someone tried to come in the room the door would only open a small crack giving Aleron enough warning to quickly dress. He took off his clothes and laid them on the bedside chair. “Move over, darlin’.”

Jewel scooted the little bit she could on the hospital bed. “These beds weren’t intended to hold two people.”

“We’ll be careful,” Aleron said. “I don’t want to break it or you.” He pulled her against his warm body and held her gently in his grasp. “I’ve never been so scared. I had to keep busy or go crazy. I’d rather face an army of warriors than see you hurt.”

“I know. Raoul said the same thing. I must admit I did think, for a while, that I might die. What I regretted most was thinking I’d never have the chance to be your and Raoul’s wife. I want years to spend loving you two.”

“I couldn’t believe we were going to lose you right after finding you. I refused to accept the idea.”

“I’m sure you and Raoul helped pull me back. The doctor said another few minutes and I would have lost too much blood.”

Aleron kissed her mouth. “When we finish getting rid of the rest of our enemies, we’ll have that big wedding and enjoy a nice long honeymoon in Oregon.”

“It sounds like heaven.” Her hand curled around his hard cock. “Aren’t you tired of talking?”

“I am. But I’m also afraid of hurting you.”

“You won’t.”

“No, because we’re going slow and easy.” He kissed her lips, and when she opened her mouth his tongue slid inside and ran along the edges of her teeth then licked all over her mouth.

He pulled back and stared into her eyes. “So sweet, I could taste you all day.” Gently, his lips explored her face, kissing her eyelids, her cheeks, her chin. When he brushed across her neck, she shivered.

“That tickles.”

Aleron did it again and pretended to nibble at her throat. Jewel scrunched up her neck. But when he got to her lush breasts, he stopped teasing. He kissed the sensitive skin around her breasts and sucked on her tight, rosy nipple. A zing of pleasure went straight to her core, starting a fire of desire.

Jewel grasped his hard cock and moved her hand along his length. She heard his soft groan. “I want him in me.”

“Not today. I’ll pleasure you with my mouth.”

She pushed him on his back and straddled his body. “I’m healed. I can feel it inside. We’ll go easy, as you said.”

“You don’t know how to obey. This is important.” He rolled her back under him.

“No fair showing how strong you are. I’m still going to win.”

Aleron grinned at her then slid down her body and separated her pink folds. He licked across her clit and Jewel moaned. He continued licking all along her lower lips then his tongue flicked into her pussy opening.

“Take me, please.”

He put two fingers inside her hot pussy and moved them in and out. Her hips moved restlessly, and her head tossed about on her pillow. Her pussy clenched against his fingers, and he rubbed against her sensitive spot.

Elation spiraled through her body. She leaned her head back and cried out his name. Aleron put his mouth over her clit and sucked, and another orgasm sent a wave of euphoria rushing in her veins. He moved upward and to the side and held her trembling body in his arms.

“See, that wasn’t so bad, was it?”

“No, but I missed your big cock pulsing inside me. And you’re not satisfied. Lay back and let me do the same for you.”

Aleron lay flat on the bed and Jewel kissed him, his face, his mouth, all along his body. She deliberately stayed away from his cock but teased him by kissing all around his dick and his inner thighs.

She glanced at his face. He held his jaw tight, and his midnight-blue eyes flashed with fire.

Jewel finally grasped his cock in her hand. He gasped.

She ran her finger across the drop at the crown of his cock and then licked the saltiness from her fingertip while she stared into his eyes. She leaned back down and licked and kissed all over his rigid cock.

Jewel ignored his groans and tormented him more. Then she took him inside her mouth all the way and cupped his sac. She gently moved his balls then moved back up and sucked on his dick.

“I can’t hold back much longer.”

Moving swiftly, before he could stop her, Jewel straddled his body and sank down on his cock. Her pussy walls clenched in joy to feel him inside her. He groaned loudly as she took him in fully.

“You cheated.” He groaned. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Are you really complaining? I’m fine.”

He began to move slowly inside her, sending ripples of pleasure flowing through her. His fingers rubbed across her peaked nipples and he pulled her head down to kiss her.

“I love you very much.” Aleron brushed her hair back off her face and slid his fingers across her mouth.

She nipped at his fingers and then said, “I know, and I love you.”

Gradually, he moved faster and rubbed her clit. She arched her back as hot delight tingled from her toes to her fingertips. Aleron groaned as his orgasm shook his insides and clearly sent a wave of euphoria straight to his head.

Jewel rolled off him and they lay holding hands and catching their breath. A loud knock at the door got their attention.

“Raoul’s back.” Aleron kissed her forehead before rolling off the bed. He grabbed his jeans and pulled them up and put his shirt on. “Just in case I’m wrong. I wouldn’t want to shock your nurse.” He gave Jewel a loving glance and unfastened the door.

“It’s about time,” Raoul said as he came into the room. “You all were having too much fun, and I was bored sitting in the dining room.”

“Poor thing, come here. I’ll kiss you to make you feel better.”

Raoul grinned. “Good, you took my hint.” He leaned down to her and she kissed his mouth. “That’s not a kiss. This is.” His mouth covered hers and his tongue ravished all around the inside, spiking her desire again.

When Raoul raised his head, his eyes sparkled with mischief. “That’s a kiss, my darling.”

“No sign of them yet,” the man’s voice said into the leader’s cell phone. “They did say midnight?”

“Yes, damn it. What trick do they have up their sleeve now? Don’t relax. They’ll come.” The leader snapped his cell phone shut. Victory was within his grasp. All these years of pretending would be over. He’d kill Mitch and Daren if they’d tricked him, if it was the last thing he did on this earth. And he’d destroy that smart-mouth shape-shifter, Aleron, who must have warned them. It was all his fault and the rest of the third tribe’s. Until they visited, no one among the two tribes had suspected anything.

Frustration and anger gnawed at his stomach. Fury swept over him. He hit his fist against the wall of his bedroom.

He didn’t care if they picked up on his vibes again. He intended to win and be the one leader. How could he find out what was going on? It was too late. If he tried to sneak around, he might get caught. Patience had been his strong suit, but it was wearing thin.

* * * *

Just before dawn the bird shifters of the third tribe met in the barn near the ranch house. Aleron explained the plan. “Garth will be with the other leaders. We’ll shift and leave one by one out the back door and hide near the last exit. When I fly over you the net will be down for one minute for you to fly out. Go to the spot I’ve shown you on this map. Does anyone have questions?” They shook their heads no then shifted, and one at a time they left.

Aleron called Mitch. He and the other leaders had set up headquarters in one of the third tribe’s tents. “Everyone has left the barn. I’m leaving now. Wait one minute and release the net.” He snapped his cell shut and shifted into his golden eagle. Aleron flew up and took deep breaths of the cool morning air. He kept his altitude low. When he saw his men, he swooped down and then went straight up.

Hovering above, he watched as the bird shape-shifters flew toward the area he had specified. Other shifters left through the third gate, and he spotted Raoul with his other wolf shifters. Aleron flew to the second gate and watched as the warriors ran out and into the nearby bushes for cover. The game was on. Exhilaration rushed through him as he swiftly flew toward their enemies’ site. He wanted to be sure they weren’t expected. From high up he could see them, but they wouldn’t see him.

The camp was quiet. Most of the men had apparently gone to bed, leaving a small contingent guarding the perimeter. From here Aleron saw the warriors and shape-shifters getting closer to the encampment. While he waited for the initial surge, he contacted the other eagle and hawk shape-shifters to join him. In a minute they converged around him.
