I’d been gentle outside. Out there, under the stars and when it’d been her very virginity I was taking, I’d gone slow. I’d taken my time, and I’d made love to this amazing creature. But there was a darker edge to me, and a restless beast inside that couldn’t be denied, not around her. She’d lit a blaze inside of me, and the more it burned, the more I just wanted to take her — to fuck her like an animal, and pound that sweet little pussy until her cum was dripping down our thighs. I wanted to hold nothing back, so that long after I’d slid out of her, she remembered the feel of me deep between her legs.
“Outside, angel,” I groaned, my muscles coiled and my blood roaring. “Outside, I controlled myself. I wanted to make sure I didn’t hurt you.”
“You didn’t,” she gasped quietly, turning and kissing me softly. “Outside was perfect. I can’t imagine a first time more sweet and perfect than that.”
“The thing is,” I groaned, my cock pulsing under the soft, rippling, milking sensations of her pussy.
“You bring out something fierce inside of me, angel,” I growled. “You bring out a beast I keep locked inside, and I’m scared—”
“You’re scared you won’t be able to control yourself,” she purred heatedly.
I nodded, my jaw tight as my cock jumped inside of her.
“Don’t,” she whispered.
“Angel, you don’t know what you’re saying.”
“Yes I do,” she moaned, pushing back into me. “I don’t want you to hold back. I want all of you. I want to feel it all.”
“I won’t be able to hold back,” I groaned.
“Please don’t,” she gasped back. “Please.”
That did it.
With a growl, I pulled back, leaving just my head inside as my hands curled around her hips and held her fast.
“Spread those pretty thighs and put your hands on the wall, angel,” I growled, my whole body poised and ready. “Because I’m going to fuck you like you deserve to get fucked. I’m going to fuck you like you’ve never even dreamed. I’m going to fuck you like my mountain queen.”
I sheathed my cock balls-deep in her in one stroke, making her scream in pleasure. I could feel her tight, slick channel clamping down on me, milking my cock in these soft little squeezes as I pulled out and then slid all the way back in. My fingers dug into her hips, her whole body trembling as she gripped the wall and pushed back into me. Her moans filled the room, sinking in to my very soul and adding fuel to the fire roaring inside of me.
I slammed into her, fucking her hard and pinning her to the wall as my big, thick cock claimed her body. Her pink pussy gripped at me so fucking tightly, her slick lips clinging to me every time I slid out and sucking me back in every time I drove back.
Chloe screamed in pleasure, the water streaming over us as our bodies came together again and again. My fingers dug into her skin hard enough to leave marks that I knew would be there the next day.
Good.
Let the whole fucking world see that she was spoken for. I’d already taken her cherry, but I wanted every man in the world to know she was claimed — mine — when he saw her. Fuck, I wanted my cum leaking out of her pussy at all times — the scent of me on her always. I pressed her against the wall, my hips rocking into her harder and harder, giving her every inch of my cock as her moans of pleasure drowned through my ears.
“I’m— I’m going to…” She cried out, shuddering against me as she dragged a breath of air. “You’re going to make me come again!”
“Angel,” I growled into her ear driving my cock balls-deep inside of her sweet little cunt. “I’m making it my life’s mission to make your pretty pussy come all the fucking time for me. If I had my way, we wouldn’t need food, or drink, or sleep. All I could ever want is right here, in my arms. All I’ll ever want is beating inside of your chest, squeezing me so tight between your legs.”
She cried out as I plunged in again, pulling her hips back into me.
“Your body I’ve claimed,” I groaned. “But don’t think for one second that I’m stopping there. I want all of you, Chloe,” I hissed into her ear, our bodies crashing together. “I want the you inside of you that no one else knows. I want your heart, and I want your love. Because without them, I’m not really sure what the fuck I was put on this earth for.”
She cried out, turning her head and kissing me fiercely. “You have them,” she whispered heatedly. “You have all of me.”
I groaned, pulling her so tight into me as I drove my cock in and out of her.
“So that’s what the fuck you’re here for,” she whispered. “Because you have my heart, and you have my love.”
“And you have all of me, angel,” I groaned as the two of us started to crumble. Chloe cried out, shuddering against me and clawing at the wall as her body started to tense up. I could feel every muscle in my body clenching — the cum boiling in my balls and aching for release. I plunged into her, grinding my cock deep inside, and suddenly, that was it for both of us.
Chloe screamed out her release, her orgasm exploding through her. I could feel her hot little pussy gripping me so fucking tight, milking the cum from my balls as she went crashing over the edge.
…And I was all too happy to oblige.
My vision went dark as I pulled her into me, buried my face in her neck, and exploded deep into her. I roared, my cum spurting from my swollen head and pumping hot against her womb. Thick ropes of my sticky seed filled her perfect cunt until I could feel it leaking out around us.
I rocked into her, pushing myself all the way in and making sure my seed was planted as deep as it could go as I kissed her neck. She trembled against me, panting and gasping for air before she slowly turned and kissed me.
We stayed just like that until the hot water ran out. After that, I scooped her up, brought her to bed, and did it all over again.

Chloe
The gasp tumbled from my lips even before my eyes were open. I moaned, twisting in the sheets of Vlad’s huge bed. Strong hands held my thighs apart, pushing them wide as a tongue dragged languidly across my pussy.
I opened my eyes and looked down, moaning as I watched my gorgeous, mysterious mountain man drag his tongue across my clit.
“Breakfast in bed is my favorite,” he growled, grinning at me before he lowered his mouth again and let his tongue swirl over my clit. I cried out, throwing my head back and whimpering as he covered me with his mouth and started to drive me wild.
My hands slid down my body, teasing my nipples as Vlad licked my pussy and made my head spin. I pushed them lower, running them into his hair and feeling him growl into me in response. His tongue pushed deep inside of me, easing in and out like he was fucking me with it, before he dragged it back up to my clit.
He swirled his wicked tongue in slow circles around my little bud, sucking it gently between his lips as his hands stroked my thighs. My breath caught, and my blood boiled as the pleasure started to build and build. He moved faster, his tongue flicking across my clit and making me cry out again as he drove me higher and higher.
He slid a hand lower, and I trembled. One of his fingers eased inside of my pussy, and when the other teased across my ass, I bucked against him, moaning deeply. His tongue moved faster, and harder across my clit, and as his fingers teased me even higher, I knew I was going to explode.
“Come for me, angel,” he growled into me, the rumbles of his deep voice teasing through me.
“Let me taste this sweet little cunt when it comes all over my tongue.”
He dove back in, and when his tongue swirled across my clit again, it was like pulling a trigger.
I screamed as the orgasm thundered through me, shattering through my whole body like a bomb. I arched off the bed, gripping his hair tight as his tongue and his lips stayed on me, coaxing me right through my climax.
Slowly, panting, I came back to earth, my whole body trembling and an electric buzz teasing across every inch of my skin. He slid up, pulling me into
his arms and holding me so tight.
“What we said last night,” he growled softly. “About you staying here.”
I giggled as I twisted in his arms to face him, kissing him slowly. “If you think for one second I wasn’t serious…” I rolled my eyes, kissing him again. “I’m not going anywhere,” I whispered.
“You say that as if I’d let you leave even if you tried.”
I grinned, loving that I couldn’t quite tell how serious he was by the hard look on his face. I knew he’d never hurt me, but part of me loved that he’d also keep me there, forcibly if he had to.
The thought made me shiver, and ignited something dark in me.
“Maybe I should try and get away sometime,” I said quietly.
“Maybe you should try, and then find out what happens to bad girls who try and run from me,” he growled lowly, his hands tightening on me and sending a spark through my body.
I grinned as I pulled tight to him, kissing him again.
“It’s a date.”

Later that day, I used his satellite phone to touch base with some of state agencies assisting with the aftermath of the flash fire down in the valley. I assured them I was safe and unharmed, and that yes, I’d managed to hike out in spite of the roads being blocked.
Vlad never asked me to, but I knew in my heart I’d keep his being here a secret with everything I had. Whoever it was that was after him for what he’d done, or I guess what he hadn’t done, was enough a threat that a man like him — towering, muscled, fearsome, and lethal — was on guard. That’s all I needed to know.
I called the Macworth Academy and touched base with the headmaster there. They already knew I was alive and safe, since the authorities had let them know the night before, but I wanted to call anyways. Tricia and Mike were near tears to know I was safe, and even if we’d never been that close in my short time working with them, it was nice to hear someone had missed me. I still lied to them and said I was staying with friends for a few days, but, I was okay with that.
I didn’t really know what “staying here” meant when it came to Vlad and his lodge and his mountain, but I knew I never wanted to leave him. For the time being, I put in a request with the headmaster at Macworth for a week off, which was readily granted. A week wasn’t “forever,” but it’d give me time to figure this all out.
Because whatever else, I knew one thing. I’d fallen for my mysterious savior. The man who’d saved me from the fires and then made me his captive turned out to be the man of my damn dreams. And beyond that, being up there on that mountain ridge was like taking a breath of fresh air for the first time in my life. Being out in the woods felt like being home in this weird way.
And him? Well, being near Vlad felt like my heart was more whole than it’d ever been.
We spent the next three days in bed. Almost literally. We got up for food, for water, the occasional vodka out on the deck watching the sun set over the mountains, and here and there, a shower.
…And yes, even in there, we were mostly just making each other come.
Vlad opened a whole new world to me — showing me things I could feel and ways I could explode that I’d never imagined. And beyond that, he opened my heart, like it’d never been opened before. And the two of those things? Well, I knew even when the week was up, there was no way I was going back to my old life.
I had a new life here, with him.
****
“As much as it pains me to say it…”
Vlad sighed dramatically, making me grin and raise a brow at him over the bedsheets.
“Yes?”
“At some point, you’re probably going to need clothes.”
I laughed, even if he was right. The entire time I’d been up in his house, I’d either been naked or wearing an oversized old t-shirt of his. And even if I was ready to take the leap and stay there with him, he was right.
“Don’t supposed there’s a mall or anything around here, huh?”
“There’s an outdoor gear store at the base of the mountain.”
I made a face. “I’m not sure camo is really my look.”
He chuckled, kissing me. “I didn’t think so. At some point, I can drive you down to the shops near the base. There’s a diner with wifi, and you can do all the shopping you want. I keep a PO box in town under a dummy name.”
“So James Bond of you.”
“But Russian.”
I laughed as he grinned.
“And I’m pretty sure the Russians are the villains in Bond movies.”
“Well, then you’re my villain,” I said, biting my lip before he moved in and kissed me.
“In the meantime, there is a place up here where you could borrow some clothes.”
I raised a brow. “Oh?”
“She’s about your size.”
My brow wrinkled questioningly. “She?”
Vlad grinned. “Why don’t we go for a walk?”

Chloe
“So I guess I’m not the only girl to wind up stuck on this mountain, huh?”
The girl was blonde, with sharp green eyes that twinkled as she grinned at me.
“Stuck, huh?”
The huge, handsome man next to her raised a sharp brow, his hand sliding around her waist and pulling her tight to him as she giggled.
“I don’t seem to remember you complaining much when I asked you to marry me.”
Katrina blushed, biting her lip and turning to kiss his shoulder.
“I only complained a little bit.”
Braun, her fiancé, rolled his eyes, chuckling before he nodded at us. “Come on up. I swear to God, her closet is slowly taking over the whole fuckin’ place. She’s got plenty you can borrow.”
Katrina gave me a “see what I’m dealing with” type look before she turned and kissed him slowly. “It is not.”
He just laughed as they stepped into the house.
Braun was another of the men living up on Blackthorn, along with Vlad, Austin and Dallas — the two brothers in the old ranger station, and the very mysterious sounding Axe. I got the impression that none of the men were that close — I mean, they’d all come up here away from the rest of the world for a reason. But they did all help each other out when needed.
Braun and Katrina’s worlds had collided a few months before, when she’d escaped up to Blackthorn to dodge a life she never wanted, where her rich family was going to marry her off to some asshole. One snowstorm and a very cozy cabin later, and she found the happy ever after she never expected with the rough mountain man currently at her side.
…Vlad had given me the story on the hike over. Needless to say, it was a story I could connect with pretty hard.
Their house wasn’t nearly as lavish a Vlad’s but it was cozy as hell. They were also clearly adding on to what had been just a small cabin a few months before. Now, there was a second floor, a new wing, and the framework of more rooms being built off the back.
“So, I take it your castle up there on Coffer’s Peak survived the fires?”
“Jealousy isn’t your color,” Vlad tossed back at the grinning Braun, who just chuckled.
“Hey, you can have your big lodge, brother. I’m more of a cabin man.”
Vlad grinned. “I think we all were fine. I checked in with Austin and Dallas the other day.”
“Axe?”
Vlad frowned, but shook his head.
“Eh, I’m sure he’s fine,” Braun shrugged. “That guy freaks me out anyways.”
“He’s… unique,” Vlad growled, frowning.
I chuckled to myself, trying to imagine whatever type of man that had these two men — both well over six feet of pure muscle — looking concerned.
Katrina tugged on my arm, laughing and shaking her head at the two men. “Alright, let’s leave these two gossip queens to their rumors. Our room’s up here.”
I laughed, following her up a flight of stairs to the second floor. Again, the place wasn’t as elegant and spa
cious as Vlad’s lodge, but it was gorgeous — homey, cozy, and when we stepped into her and Braun’s room, I gasped at the view. One whole wall of the place was all windows, and as amazing a vista as Vlad had, I couldn’t imagine looking out over the postcard-perfect view these two had out their bedroom windows.
“Oh, yeah,” Katrina ginned, waving her hand at the view. “Yeah, I hate to say it, but you get used to it.”
“It’s amazing.”
“Hey, I hear Vlad’s place is pretty spectacular.”
“It’s pretty incredible, but this is…” I whistled. “Holy crap.”
She grinned. “Thanks. Braun can take all the credit for the new additions. Alright, let’s get you some clothes, girl.”
I made a face, glancing down at my ridiculous outfit of one of Vlad’s old t-shirts and a pair of gym shorts that I was swimming in.
Katrina just laughed though. “Oh, please, trust me. I’ve been there.”
The two of us both blushed at the same time, grinning at each other.
“Let me guess, you never in a million years saw it coming, huh?”
I shook my head. “Never.”
“What’d you do before?”
“Before?”
She smiled. “Before you pulled a me and fell in love with a mountain man.”
I blushed, but I knew she was right. I had fallen in love.
“I’m a— or, I was…” I frowned, shaking my head. “A teacher. First grade.”
Katrina’s brow shot up. “No kidding? You know...” She shrugged sheepishly. “I mean, it’s just an idea right now, but I thought it’d be amazing to start a school up here on Blackthorn.”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah! I mean, it’s not like we have kids yet—”
Her cheeks went red instantly, but she grinned and shook her head.
“But there are other families that live down the mountain a ways, or in the rural towns around here, and the closest schools their kids can get to are hours away. I dunno, it’s just an idea I’ve been toying with.” She sighed, looking at me and then jerking her head to what I could see was a huge walk-in closet behind her.
