The Wanted Short Stories (5 page)

“Mmm…you smell like heaven,” he whispered against my neck.

“You smell pretty yummy yourself.”

He began moving his fingers up and down my arm, leaving a burning sensation in their path. I was shocked by how he could still give me goose bumps after all these years.

“I don’t want to go back yet,” he whispered.

I rolled over and smiled as I pushed my hand through his hair and stared into his beautiful blue eyes. “We don’t have to.”

He tilted his head and gave me a questioning look. “We don’t?” He chuckled. “I’m pretty sure our children would miss us if we didn’t head back.”

I laughed. “I mean, we still have two days. My mom texted me and said she made arrangements with Jeff and Josh, so we can stay for another two days.”

The smile that spread across his face caused me to grin.

“I know what I want to do then,” he said.

“Oh, yeah? What?”

He shook his head. “It’s a surprise. Let’s get up and get dressed. Wear jeans. Did you bring a jacket? I think it’s going to be cool today.”

I got up and laughed. “Yes, Dad. I brought a sweatshirt. That should be good.”

Gunner jumped up and walked into the bathroom. I watched as he walked by naked. We hardly ever walked around naked anymore, not with the chance of a little one running in on us.

I bit down on my lip. I couldn’t believe I wanted him again. I was about to walk into the bathroom and make my move when someone knocked on the door.

“Room service, Mr. and Mrs. Mathews.”

Gunner poked his head out of the bathroom. “Did you order room service?”

Shaking my head, I grabbed my robe and put it on. I slowly opened the door and smiled. “Um…we didn’t order room service,” I said.

The young man’s face blushed, and he looked away quickly. “It’s from Ari, ma’am,” he said.

I tilted my head and looked at him. “Ari?”

“Yes, um…so, yeah…okay…well, enjoy your stay, Mrs. Mathews.” He quickly turned and began walking away.

“Oh, wait…a tip,” I called out.

He turned and smiled big. “Mrs. Johnson paid me handsomely. No tip needed.”

I shook my head and pulled the cart into the room.

Gunner came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. “What’s Ari up to? Jesus, did she order enough food for an army or what?”

I shrugged my shoulders and lifted the two metal pans at the same time. I let out a gasp as Gunner began laughing his ass off.

“Damn, that girl was always my favorite of your friends,” Gunner said as he picked up the handcuffs and winked at me.

I looked back down and saw a brand-new vibrator, a Victoria’s Secret bag, and massage oil.

My mouth dropped open, and I turned to Gunner. “Oh. My. God. Do you think she paid that poor boy to go out and buy this stuff?”

Gunner really lost it, and he started laughing even harder. He pulled me to him as I began giggling.

“I can’t wait to get you back here this afternoon and have my wicked way with you.”

I felt the heat move between my legs as my stomach clenched. I wanted him to have his wicked way with me right now. I looked up and tilted my head down and batted my eyelashes.

“Oh no, get dressed, sweetheart. I have a full day planned for us.”

Gunner pulled into the parking lot of the Magnolia Café. I smiled as all the memories came flooding back to me. Gunner, Jeff, Ari, and I used to come here all the time for breakfast. It seems like it was just yesterday.

I slid into a booth, and Gunner slid in next to me. His arm brushed against my body, and I couldn’t believe the butterflies that took off in my stomach. I smiled as I looked down at the goose bumps covering my arms. I loved that his touch still affected me the way it did.

Gunner looked at me and asked, “Tea?”

I nodded my head and sat back, letting my husband take control.

“We’ll both have a cup of hot tea, two of the house special omelets, and a cup of fresh fruit, please.”

I watched as the waitress practically eye-fucked my husband while he gave our order. Gunner didn’t look like he was in his mid-thirties at all. He still ran every day, and his body was beyond amazing. His perfectly tanned skin was always so soft. I smiled as I thought back to when Gunner had first taken over the ranch, and Garrett had told him that sunscreen was the next best thing to a woman. I glanced up at the waitress who seemed to have just noticed me sitting there.

She smiled and looked back at Gunner. “I’ll have those teas as well as two glasses of water right out.”

“Thank you,” Gunner said.

He placed his hand on my knee, causing me to jump a little from just his touch.

He looked at me after the waitress walked off and smiled that damn crooked smile of his. “Did I scare you, baby?”

I shook my head. “No, your touch seems to be driving me slightly crazy today.”

His eyes lit up, and he leaned closer to me as he whispered into my ear, “Too bad I had you put jeans on. I bet I could have driven you even crazier by giving you an orgasm right here in the booth.”

I swallowed hard at the idea of Gunner touching me in public. I slowly grinned and said, “We still have another day, if you think you can really go through with something like that.”

Gunner sucked in a breath of air and then looked down at my lips. “Is that a challenge, Mrs. Mathews?”

I let out a giggle. “Yes, I believe it is, Mr. Mathews.”

“Let’s just say that I’m…up for the challenge.”

When the waitress cleared her throat, Gunner squeezed my leg, and my whole body came to attention.

Public orgasm…a vibrator and handcuffs….Gunner all to myself.

Oh, yeah, this is going to be the best couple of days of my life.

The whole time we were eating breakfast, I couldn’t stop thinking about what Ellie had said. My dick was so fucking hard that I could hardly stand it. She kept looking at me as she ate her omelet, and I knew what was running through her mind.

I needed to make sure I planned things like this for us more often. Maybe I could take her somewhere once a month. Even to a bed-and-breakfast in Fredericksburg would be a nice getaway.

We finished eating, and I paid our bill. I grabbed Ellie’s hand and led her out to my truck. I opened the door and helped her in. As she sat down, I slipped my hand up her shirt and quickly under her bra. I pinched her nipple, and she let out a gasp before biting down on her lip.

“I want you, Ellie,” I whispered.

Her beautiful blue eyes met mine as she smiled. “I want you, too.”

I pulled my hand out and watched as she adjusted her bra. I shut the door, and I adjusted myself as I made my way to the driver’s side. I got in the truck and began to drive out of the parking lot. Ellie took my hand in hers and began moving her thumb across my skin. Just the soft, slow movement was driving me to the edge.

I started heading toward Zilker Park.

Ellie asked, “Where to now, captain?”

“It’s a surprise,” I said as I glanced over at her.

She smiled at me, and I about melted. I loved her so much. Her smile would forever be my undoing.

“Hmm…well, you’re not heading back to the hotel, and honestly, the only thing I want right now is your dick buried deep inside me.”

I about slammed on the brakes as my heart took a deep dive to my stomach. I looked at Ellie as she continued to look straight ahead as if she hadn’t even said a single word.

Fuck the canoe ride. I need my wife.

I put my signal on and turned down a side road. I didn’t even care that I was pulling into a neighborhood. I parked on the side of the road. “Get in the backseat, Ellie.”

I saw her peek at me before she unbuckled her seat belt and climbed into the back. I quickly got out of the truck and made my way to the backseat. I opened the door and had to hang on for dear life. My wife was sitting there in a white lace bra and matching thong panties.

“Ellie…you’re so beautiful.”

“I’m waiting.”

I jumped in and shut the door. Ellie frantically pulled my boots off as I lifted my T-shirt over my head.

“Shit, Ellie. I’m so damn turned-on right now. I might not last long.”

She smiled as she unbuttoned my jeans. I leaned back and pulled them off my body, letting my dick spring to attention. She moved back away from me and leaned against the back passenger door. The moment she pushed her hand into her panties, I knew what she wanted. I quickly moved to her and pulled her hand out. I pulled her panties out of the way and began tasting my sweet wife. She grabbed a fistful of my hair and made the sweetest moans I’d ever heard. I buried my face between her legs, sucking and licking, until she started calling out my name.

“Gunner, I’m going to come. Oh God, yes!”

When she finally came down from her orgasm, I got up and began taking her panties off. I slid her down until she was lying on the bench seat.

“I’m gonna fuck you now, Ellie.”

She smiled and closed her eyes before opening them and looking into my eyes. “Yes, Gunner…yes.”

I slammed my dick so fast and hard into her that she let out a whimper.

When I pulled out, she said in a panicked voice, “No, harder. Please, Gunner, I need to feel you. I need it hard and fast.”

I about died. There was nothing sexier than my sweet wife talking dirty to me. I pushed into her again as deep as I could go.

“Oh God, yes.”

I pulled out and grabbed her hips, and then I gave her just what she’d asked for.

“Yes. Yes. Gunner, I’m going to come again. Harder!” Ellie cried out.

I was doing everything possible to hold off. Watching Ellie’s reactions was almost more than I could handle. Something was happening between us. We were rekindling what we’d almost lost. We were getting it back, and I’d never felt so alive in my life.

When Ellie began calling out my name, I pulled out and pushed into her again, deeper and harder. I could feel her squeezing down on my dick, and that was my undoing.

“God, Ellie, I’m coming, baby. Ah, baby, it feels so good.”

I was panting hard as Ellie wrapped her whole body around mine. I slid down next to her in the truck and pulled her as close to me as I could.

“I’ve missed you,” she whispered.

I closed my eyes and fought like hell to hold back my tears. “I’ll never let you miss me again, Ells. Never.”

Ellie and I just talked as we lay entangled in the backseat for the longest time. We talked about everything—our feelings for each other, the kids, our future, and the ranch. It was almost as if we were catching up on months of not seeing each other.

“Ellie, I want to do something like this once a month. I think we need to start taking just a few days for you and me.”

“I would love that, Gunner, even if we just stayed in a hotel for a day or two. I just want this, the way we used to be, without trying to be quiet so that the kids don’t hear. I want to just let loose once in a while.”

“Then, it’s a plan. I’ll make the arrangements for next month.”

She sat up and looked at me. “I’m so sorry I was a jealous idiot. I didn’t mean for you to quit the job.”

I smiled and said, “I’m glad you did. I needed the eye-opener.” I sat up and began handing back her clothes. “Come on. We still have a few more things to do before I take you back to the hotel, so we can really have some fun.”
