Walker (Bowen Boys) (22 page)

“I don’t…can you come to me?”

He nodded to his nurse and walked out of
the room as Caitlynne continued.

“I’m afraid and I don’t know what to
do.”

He reached blindly for the counter. If
she was afraid then he was out of him mind with it. Trying to be as gentle as
he could, he sent her his love and security and spoke to her without moving. He
wasn’t even sure that he could.

“What is it, love? Have you called Khan?
He and the others can be there faster than I can. But I’m coming. Do you have
your gun?”

“I can’t carry it.”

Christ, he thought, she was hurt badly
if she couldn’t hold her gun. He was pretty sure she slept with it under the
pillow, but had never checked.
“I’m contacting my brothers. They can be there
in—”

“No,”
she screamed though his mind.
“Christ,
don’t fucking do that. I’m embarrassed enough as it is. Why I did this is
beyond me. But I wanted to surprise you, and now look. I can’t fucking take it
back.”

Walker moved to the elevator, unsure
what the hell was going on, but embarrassed he could handle a lot better than
her being hurt again. He had been caring for her more than he’d been able to
love her. He was ready to begin their life together.

When the doors opened he slipped inside
and leaned against the walls as it took him to the lower levels and out of the
hospital. He tried to reach her again, but all he hit was a wall of…not really
fear now, but more of what she’d said. She was mortified about something. Reaching
beyond that he had to stop again, this time right next to his car.

“Are you a cat, Caitlynne? Have you
shifted?”
He found he was grinning and couldn’t control it.
“Did she just come over
you or did you want her?”

“How the fuck do I know? I was thinking
about what it might look like and suddenly there I was, looking back at me with
fucking fur. Why the fuck didn’t anyone tell me how easy it was? You certainly
didn’t.”
He laughed. He simply couldn’t help it.

“Are you going to laugh it up or tell me
how to get back to the real me? You’re gonna pay for this, you know that, don’t
you?”

He laughed harder.

“I mean it, Walker. I can’t leave the
house and I have this meeting thing with the president in a few hours.”

“I’m coming to you now. Is there anyone
in the house?”
She told him no.
“Good, because you and I are going for a run when I get
there, then I’m going to take you to the ground and fuck you so hard you’ll
never want to be a human again.”

He felt her arousal as if it were his
own. He was glad he was sitting at a light because he was pretty sure he would
have had an accident if he hadn’t been. When she spoke to him this time it was
without fear, without embarrassment of any kind.

“Will you chase me, Walker, if I run
away?”

He adjusted his cock twice so it
wouldn’t hurt as badly as she continued to talk to him
.

“Will you sink your teeth into me when
you come like you always do? Will I come as hard as I do when you fuck me in
the bed?”

He had to concentrate on driving the
speed limit. He growled low when someone cut in front of him. If this kept up,
if she kept it up, he was going to take her before they got to run.

“Be outside behind the house when I get
there. And Caitlynne?”

She purred at him.

“You are going to come so hard that
you’ll be lucky that you can speak after this.”

Walker pulled into his driveway just as
a black cat streaked out the back door. He pulled off his shirt and was kicking
off his shoes when he could smell her. She was aroused all right, and she knew
it. Moving toward her, he took off his pants and let his cat take him. As soon
as he shifted, she took off in the woods.

Flaring his nose, Walker went in search
of his prey.

Her scent was everywhere. He should have
known she would be good at hiding from him. Her experiences as a human would
spill over into her cat as well. He loved hunting for her and when he saw her
again, his breath caught.

He’d seen her before as a cat. She’d
been lying in Khan’s arms and unconscious. She’d been bleeding too, her fur
matted with it. He had picked her up then and she’d looked at him for a second
or two before slipping away again. By the time he’d gotten her home she’d been
human. He’d not asked her to shift again because he knew she was nervous about
it. Now he was glad that he hadn’t. Seeing her like this made him glad that he
was seeing her just as she should be seen. In the woods with all of nature
surrounding her.

Her black fur was slick and molded to
her body as it should. Each line of her muscle and bone were defined perfectly.
When she turned to look at him her eyes were the darker blue of her human ones,
and bright with excitement.

Walker leapt after her. She was moving
fast, playing with him. He wanted her to play, enjoy this version of herself. When
he reached for her mind they connected on a level that had never happened to
him before, and he sent her directions on where to go.

“I want to do this forever. Can we?”

He laughed at her question and told her
they could more now that she wasn’t afraid.

“I wasn’t afraid so much as…well, I
didn’t want to fail. I didn’t…I remember how much it had hurt me before and
didn’t want to scream like a little girl having her first cramp.”

“You wouldn’t have. I could have told
you that if you’d asked.”
He had a feeling she might not have believed him
and told her so.

“Oh, Walker, look.”

He had guided her toward the waterfall
at the back of their property. Each of the boys owned some of the original land,
but he’d been lucky enough to be able to buy an additional four hundred acres
at the back of his. Now he had just under five hundred of the most beautiful
property in the state. He watched her go to the edge and drink from the lake
that formed at the base of the falls, and he came up behind her.

He rubbed his body over hers and was
rewarded with a loud purr. She reared her hind legs up and rubbed against him. When
he started to mount her from behind, she slid from beneath him and into the
water.

He loved the water in either form. More
so in human, but his cat loved it as well. When she came above the water a few
feet away from him he sat and watched her. She was swimming back to him when he
stood up.

“I want you.”
He’d meant to
be much more romantic about it, but he’d been patient long enough.
“Come
here to me.”

Her cat snarled at him and he had
expected that. She was as strong as her master and didn’t like being ordered
around. But he was bigger, much bigger than her, and he took her to the ground
and laid over her as soon as she came out of the water fully.

Her scent nearly made him come all over
her. When he bit into her shoulder to hold her still she growled again. He felt
his cock lengthen more when she tried to get away.

“Be still.”
She stilled
immediately, but snarled again
. “I need to be inside of you right now. Fight
me if you want, but I need this more than I need to breathe.”

His cock thickened more, incredibly more,
when he was near her entrance. As soon as he entered her she pushed back
against him. Biting her harder, he moved in and out of her, trying not to hurt
her, but he needed to dominate her. Her blood filled his mouth as he pressed
her to the ground. He moved slowly and nearly laughed when she told him to take
her now.

Holding her down, he fucked her. He had
had sex as a cat before with one of the local group’s females, but never had he
felt so connected, so overwhelmed with need. As soon as his balls began to
tighten up he let go of her shoulder and came deep inside of her. Her own
climax surprised him; females rarely came this way, but he should have known
she’d be different. When he felt his cock fill again he pulled out of her and
shifted.

“Come. Think of me fucking your human
self and shift. I need to be inside of you again. Hurry.” Her cat fell away and
her nakedness nearly took him to the ground. He didn’t even give her the time
to stand or even to turn when he was behind her, his thick cock deep in her
pussy.

She was slick with his cum and her
arousal. He held her hips tight as he plowed into her. His balls were soaked
with her juices and he knew that he wasn’t going to be able to hold back once
she fell over the edge again.

Her breasts swayed with each of his
strokes and Walker wanted to suckle at them. Pulling out again, he rolled her
to her back, adjusting her legs on either side of him. Walker looked down at
her spread before him like a feast.

“You have no idea how beautiful you are
to me right now. You’re so wet that I could drink from you for an hour and
never get it all.” She cupped her breasts and pinched her nipples. “That’s it,
baby. Make them pucker for me.”

“Help me, Walker. Please. I want to feel
you inside of me again. Help me come with you.”

He stroked his cock and watched her.

“Walker, please?”

Guiding his cock to her heat, he leaned
down, took one of her nipples into his mouth, and nipped. She rocked up and
took him into her as she cried out his name. When her other breast was offered
to him he took it as she wrapped her legs around his hips. Lifting his head
from her, he watched her face as he moved to the pulsing beat of her sheath. She
was as tight as he’d ever felt her.

Perfect, it was utterly perfect to see
her this way. Every stroke of his cock changed her expression. He knew each
time he touched her sweet spot. He knew the exact moment that she felt her
climax racing toward completion and he could see just when it took her, her
face wondrously filled with rapture. His own climax grabbed him quickly and he
joined her, tumbling over the edge of a fall that had him wishing he would live
forever just to be with her.

He lay over her. Walker wanted to lift
her up, take her back to the lake, and bathe with her, but the thought of
moving even off her had him wishing he had napped before coming out to play. When
she giggled, a sound he never thought to hear from her, he lifted his head to
look at her.

“You’re dead weight.”

He moved then, thinking that he was hurting
her.

“No, don’t. Don’t leave me yet. I love
the feel of you like this. Warm after sex and breathing hard.”

“Tell me if I get too heavy.” She
promised him she would and she began stroking the back of his head. Walker
closed his eyes for a moment. He knew he just needed a moment.

~~~

Caitlynne watched him sleep. She knew
that she’d have to wake him soon because she had to go to DC with the president
for a little while. She’d still made no decisions about the job because Walker
had been so busy, but she knew that she should at least talk to him about it
before she left. Her second phone call had come through. Touching his shoulder,
he came awake slowly and reached for her as he smiled.

“No. If you pull me back to you then
we’ll make love again and I’ll be late. Not that I give two shits if I’m late,
but he’s done a few things for me and I want to help him with this.” She took a
deep breath. “I have some money. A lot of it. And I’ve had it put into your
account.”

He frowned at her. “Why would you do
that? I mean, I have plenty of my own, and if you think that—“

“I don’t think anything. Shut up and
listen.” She flushed when he raised a brow at her. “Please let me finish. I was
born to a wealthy family. My parents were rich, as were theirs. But they died
when I was a kid and…none of that matters right now. I inherited all of it and
because I’ve never had to touch it, the money I make working for the government
has been just sitting there too. Now it has some use.”

She started to pace and felt stupid
doing it naked and sat on a nearby log. It wasn’t any more comfortable and she asked
him if they could go back to his house.

They walked back holding hands and she
continued telling him about what she’d done. She could tell that each step that
got them closer to his home, the more if felt as if he was moving away from
her.

“The land deal with the city is
finished. They won’t be bothering you or your family about it again. The mayor
said that he had someone banking on the deal, and his plan was to buy cheap or
take it from you guys then sell it to a developer that was slated to come to
town in the coming months.” Walker nodded, but didn’t comment as they went into
the house and up the stairs to the bedroom. “He’s been arrested, as have a few
members of his little group of assholes. They are in the jail and your brother
said he’d make sure that he stayed put. I believe him. If I had to bring
someone in to help me, it would be your brother Marc.”

Walker still hadn’t said anything. She’d
hoped that he’d be okay with this, or at the very least, that he’d be pissed. Some
emotion over what he was doing now would be better. She moved around the room
and pulled one of his large shirts over her head. She’d have to bring more
clothes from Washington.
If
he wanted her to return, that is.
