I grip her hips tighter as I hear a tree limb snap on the other side of the boulder. I’d guess the sound is coming from twenty yards away. Normally, I’d dismiss it as an animal, but the noise rattles again and again until there’s no doubt that there’s a person walking toward us.

Daisy hears it too, but her eyes are still on me. “Don’t stop! I need your come.”

I hold her hips tighter. I couldn’t stop if I wanted to. I’m past that point. Her pussy is tight on my cock, her juices warm and slick, and I’ve been desperate for this moment for too damn long.

I hold her tighter and thrust again and again as the noise gets closer.

“Come in my pussy! Come hard for me!” she whines.

I thrust one final time and come, spreading my seed deep inside of her. I shouldn’t growl out, but I do. I growl out in pleasure, and it’s met with the sound of gunshots.

I pull from Daisy and tuck her naked frame behind the boulder, dressing her before I dress myself. I’ve got jeans on and my gun in my hand when Mike steps out from behind the rock.

His eyes are on Daisy. “You like getting fucked like a goddamn animal now?”

Daisy steps from behind me as she pushes her dress into place. “You’re going to be charged with illegal weapons, and this is what you’re worried about?”

Mike is a thin guy with weak muscle tone. He’s wearing a pair of jeans and a dark gray sweater. The only thing keeping him safe right now is that gun. If I got my hands on him, he’d be helpless.

I step toward him. “Keep talking and you’re not gonna like how this ends.”

He laughs. “Hand over my fuckin’ woman.”

“So you can beat the shit out of her again? Not a chance.”

I can’t help but study the situation. He has no idea what he’s doing, and he’s acting erratically. His gun is lowered, and I bet I can pull mine before he even knows what’s happening.

We have ourselves a real quick draw situation, just like every Georgia boy fantasizes when he gets his first pistol.

Be steady. Two quick breaths and pull. One, two… I get off a shot, hitting his shoulder.

Daisy tucks behind me and I reach back for her arm, touching her in comfort. I didn’t want our moment to end like this. I want to hold her, kiss her, brush my fingers through her hair, tell her she’s perfect in every way, remind her that she’s mine to love and care for.

Instead, we’re watching the blood drain from Mike’s arm. I take the moment of shock to shoot his knee as well. I’ll tell the cops that second one was because he was reaching for his gun, even if it was just for me.

Daisy follows close behind me as I pull the cuffs from my jeans.

“Can I cuff him?”

I grip the man’s arm and haul him up, leaning his frail frame against the rock. My knee drives into his back as I hand Daisy the handcuffs. “Sure. Do what you have to, darlin’.”

She slides the first cuff over his wrist and pulls the injured arm back roughly, cuffing it to the other before leaning into his ear and saying, “I’ve never wanted a bad thing to happen to anyone, but you… I want everything to happen to you, Mike.”

I gag his mouth before he can run it. I know she needed that and I’m not going to allow him a response he doesn’t deserve.

“You wanna run up and grab me some rope, darlin’? I’m gonna tie this asshole up then call Ink and see if he can’t help me out.”

She nods and turns away, but I pull her back into my orbit, tucking her against my chest. The intention isn’t for Mike to see this, but I gotta say, it does get me off a little knowing this asshole gets to watch me claim what he so badly fucked up.

Daisy’s glance lifts to mine. “What’s up?”

“I didn’t get to kiss you properly after we finished, and I wanted to. You felt so good, darlin’. I don’t want us to forget this moment because it ended like… this.”

She smiles and tips up onto her toes, kissing my lips again and again. “You shot a man like three seconds after you came. I’m pretty sure we’ll never forget this.”

I kiss her forehead and she turns away, running up toward the bike for some rope. I took this bounty because I wanted to keep Rugged Mountain safe from assholes like Mike. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d stumble upon a woman to spend my life with, but now that I have her, I know for sure I’m never letting go.
