Page 10 of The Mountain Man's Girl

I reach down and grab my dick, trying to squeeze the thought out of my head. But as soon as my fist closes around my shaft, my mind travels further into the gutter, thinking of how I could pin her down with my large frame and have my wicked way. Exploring every inch. Licking over every delicious part. Drive my tongue into her ripe little body and make her come down my chin. I bet she’d be begging for it. The way she was looking at me all afternoon, I bet I could sweet talk my way into those little panties if I wanted to.

But I’m not going to fucking do that. I’m going to keep my distance because a girl like her deserves better than a grumpy old recluse.

The last bit of my orgasm dies on the thought, and I tuck myself back into my pants. It’s time to let the fantasy go and get back to work. I need to find the surveillance footage that Ryker is looking for. Some evidence went missing from the warehouse and he wants to find out exactly what was taken. I work through the system fast, getting him what he needs. When I hear a whimper coming from the other room, my fingers pause on the keyboard. I rise to go check on Tarryn. She finally took some pills with dinner, but they may be wearing off.

I pick up my pace when I hear another whimper. “Traeger, please help.” She’s calling for me.

“I’m coming, angel.”

I rush into the room and find her on the ground, tangled up in the sheet.

“I got you, little one.” I remove the sheet from around her legs and scoop her up. “What happened? Did you fall out ofbed?” I’m hoping she wasn’t trying to make a run for it and got tangled up.

“I needed to use the bathroom, but I got stuck. And my foot hurts so much.”

I need to get some more pain meds into her. “Next time, just call for me and I’ll get you.” I carry her into the bathroom and place her down on her good leg, turning my head away so I can’t see her undress. “I won’t look. I just want to make sure you’re safely seated then I’ll leave.”

She works to get her panties off, and then lowers herself down, using me for support. I turn and walk out, giving her her privacy. “I’m going to get you some more painkillers and I’ll be right back to help you back to bed.”

“Thank you,” I hear her sweetly say as I close the door. Her soft voice hits me smack dab in the left side of my chest. There’s something about this girl that brings out my protective side. I don’t want her to feel one ounce of pain.

“You ready for me, baby girl?” I call through the door upon my return.

“Yes.”

I turn my head as I enter, trying to be respectful. “Just grab onto me.”

She gets herself decent and then I scoop her back up and carry her back to my bed. “Here, take these.” I hand her the pills and the water from the nightstand, and as she takes her pills, I get her leg propped up again.

“I’ll be right out in the other room. If you need anything, just call for me. I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“You won’t stay with me?”

As soon as I meet her eyes, I’m locked in her clutches. She could ask the world of me, and I think I’d say yes.

“I just wanted to give you space so you felt safe, but if you want me to stay, I’ll stay.”

She pulls the sheet back from the empty side, making room for me to join her. “I feel safer with you.”

The muscle in my chest swells with pride at the fact. I’ve never felt needed before, and it’s a feeling I could grow accustomed to.

I walk around to the other side of the bed and strip out of my jeans and shirt. When I hear a little whimper, I look over to see if her leg is giving her strife, but I think the source of her sound is coming from something else. Her eyes are locked on my bare chest, her little teeth sinking into her lower lip. And my cock lurches at the attention, drawing her stare right between my legs.

This time she lets out a gasp, swallowing hard. I watch the movement, wondering what it would feel like if my cock were down her throat, feeling the constriction as she swallowed my cum. The thought has me growing stiffer, and her eyes grow even larger. Cheeks even pinker.

“If you keep staring at it like that, it’s going to think you want something.” She looks up and her eyes grow even wider. “Don’t worry. I promise I won’t cross a line.”

I climb into bed, pulling the comforter up over my hard dick before she sees the wet stain forming on the front of my boxers.

“What if…um… What if I wanted you to?” Her quiet little question is asked on quivering lips, and that right there is one of the reasons I won’t.

“I’m too old for you, angel.” Too old and too bitter. “Someone as pretty and as young deserves better than an old grump like me.”

She shakes her head. “Maybe sex would make you less grumpy.”

Fuck me. She’s offering herself up, practically begging me to fuck her. It probablywouldmake me less grumpy, and if I were a bad man, I’d pin her down and fuck her senseless. Plow into heruntil she forgets her own name. But…I’m not a bad man. And I’m not going to do something she’ll end up regretting. She may be turned on by the sight of my dick, but once the lust clears, she’ll realize she made a mistake.

“Although I’m flattered, angel, and would give my left nut to sink inside your hot little body, I’m going to do what’s best for you. Now, lie back so I can tuck you in. You need to get your rest so that foot will heal.” And I need to go jerk myself off again so my balls don’t turn as blue as her ankle.
