The Wanted Short Stories Read online

  “I’m here to make love to my wife.”

  Ellie’s eyes changed and held that familiar passion I loved so much. I shut the door behind me.

  She bit down on her lower lip and whispered, “I was hoping you would figure out where I was.”

  I walked up to her and placed my hands on the sides of her face. I leaned down and kissed her. She placed her hands on my chest and moaned as our tongues began dancing together.

  The kiss was slow and sweet at first. I just wanted to take it slow. I’d missed her so much the last few days. I wanted to take every single thing in—the feel of her lips on mine, the smell of her hair, and the warmth of her touch.

  I pulled my lips from hers and watched as a tear made its way down her beautiful face. I gently wiped it away.

  She said, “Gunner, I’ve missed you so much.”

  “I promise you, Ellie, I will never make you feel lost again. Knowing I made you doubt our love kills me. I intend on making it up to you…all night.”

  She smiled. “That sounds like a good plan.”

  I took a step back and slowly lifted my T-shirt up and over my head. I unbuttoned my pants and pushed them down, allowing my dick to spring free. I watched her eyes travel up and down my body as she took me in. When she licked her lips, I wanted to bury myself so deep inside her that she would never again doubt my love for her.

  “Undress yourself, Ells.”

  I almost laughed when I watched her pull her shirt over her head. She quickly pushed her shorts and panties down before kicking them off to the side of the room.

  “Gunner, I need to feel you.”

  I walked up to her and grabbed her. I pulled her to me and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around me, and my knees felt weak just from having her in my arms.

  I loved her so much.

  I walked over to the bed and gently laid her on it as I smiled down at her. “I’m going to make love to you now, baby.”

  “Yes,” she whispered.

  She opened herself to me and arched her back. I crawled over her and placed my hands on the sides of her face as I teased her entrance with my dick.

  “Do not ever doubt my love,” I said as I slowly began pushing into her.

  Her eyes lit up with passion, and I slammed my lips to hers. When she pushed her hands through my hair, I let out a moan and began moving faster. She tightened her legs around me, and I lost control. I had wanted to slowly make love to her, but something had happened and I needed to take her fast and hard. We were both aching to get more.

  I moved up and grabbed her hips as I slammed in and out of her.

  “Yes. Gunner…harder. Faster, please go deeper.”

  I gave her just what she needed. I could almost feel her squeezing around my dick.

  “Oh God. I’m coming. Oh…Gunner…”

  She grabbed the sheets and began calling out my name as I pushed deep inside of her. I tried to hold off but couldn’t. I called out her name as an intense orgasm hit me fast and hard. I moved in and out until every last drop was out, and then I collapsed next to her on the bed. We were both breathing as if we had just run a marathon.

  Ellie rolled over, threw her leg over me, and nestled her head into my neck. “I’ve missed you. I’ve missed this,” she whispered.

  I pulled her closer to me and kissed her forehead. “I’ve missed it, too, baby. I’m so sorry, Ellie. I never meant to make you feel like you weren’t wanted. I’ll never forgive myself for hurting you.”

  She moved back some and tilted her head, looking at me. “Gunner, I just don’t want to fall into a routine where every day is the same thing. I want you to sneak me off to the barn like we did before. I want to make out in the back of a movie theater or have sex in your truck. I just want…us.”

  I moved her body up some and began kissing her. She always tasted so sweet. I rolled her over and laid her down on the bed as I moved my hand between her legs. She instantly opened to me, and I pushed my fingers inside her. I began massaging the spot that I knew drove her over the edge. She grabbed a handful of my hair and smiled.

  “I’m going to make you come again, baby.”

  She closed her eyes and started moving her hips. “Gunner…oh God…don’t stop. I’m…so…close.”

  I leaned down and began sucking on her nipple, and she jerked as her orgasm hit her. I bit down on her nipple.

  She cried out, “Yes! Gunner, yes! Oh God. Oh…God…yes!”

  I loved making Ellie come. She was so responsive to my touch, even after all these years.

  She opened her eyes as she smiled at me, and I kissed her nose.

  Getting off the bed, I stood up and reached for her hand. “Come on, let’s go take a shower.”

  She nodded her head and stood up. I leaned down, picked her up, and began carrying her into the bathroom. I set her down on the bench, turned around, and started the shower.

  Ellie cleared her throat. “Can I ask you something?”

  I glanced back at her as I checked the water temperature. “Of course you can.”

  She looked down and then back up at me. “How were you taking care of the kids by yourself with having to work on the ranch and…work with Karen?”

  The mention of Karen’s name made my skin crawl. The day after Ellie had left, I’d called Karen to meet me for lunch. I’d let her know that I was stepping down from my position as her architect and that Bill would be able to finish up. She had seemed okay with it. She’d even acted sympathetic. I had excused myself to head to the restroom. She’d walked into the restroom and locked the door behind her before she began undressing. I’d about had heart failure. When I’d asked her to stop, she’d gotten angry and said she knew I wanted to fuck her. I’d quickly pushed her out of the way and unlocked the door. Heading to my truck, I’d called Bill and told him I was done.

  “I told Bill I was done and that the job was taking time away from my family and causing issues between us. I love you too much, Ellie, to ever let something like this happen again.”

  I held out my hand and led her into the shower. I began soaping her body. “Ells, you have to promise me that you’ll talk to me if you ever feel like this again. Please don’t ever leave me again. You have no idea how devastated I was.”

  Her eyes searched my face, and when I saw the tears beginning to fall, I leaned down and kissed her. I pushed her against the wall, and I began moaning when she started playing with my dick. I pulled my lips from hers when I felt myself hardening in her hand.

  “Drew, make love to me.”

  I reached over and turned off the shower. I grabbed a towel, and I started to dry off Ellie and then myself. I picked her up and carried her back to the bed.

  “Lie back, baby.”

  I crawled over her and grabbed her hands, placing them over her head. I used my right hand to wipe away another tear. I pushed gently into my beautiful wife and began making love to her. Our bodies felt as one as I moved slowly inside her.

  When I felt myself getting closer to coming, I leaned down and brushed my lips against hers. “I’m about to come, baby,” I whispered.

  She closed her eyes and arched her body, and we both began whispering each other’s names.

  In that moment, I vowed I would never again take my wife for granted. She, and only she, could make me feel so loved and so wanted.

  I peeked my eyes open and saw the daylight shining through the side of the curtain. I turned my head slightly and smiled when I saw Gunner sleeping peacefully. I tried to remember the last time either one of us had gotten to sleep in.

  I moved just a bit, and I felt the soreness in my body. Gunner and I had made love four times. The first was raw and fast, and I loved it. Then, we’d done it again after the shower. The third time, Gunner had woken me up at one in the morning and made love to me again. When I’d crawled on top of him at five thirty this morning, I had needed something different. I’d needed to be fucked hard and fast, and Gunner had done just that. I was pretty sure I would have small b
ruises on my hips from where he had gripped me.

  I stretched and smiled. I rolled over and grabbed my cell phone. Grace had texted and said Alex and Colt had gone off to school this morning. Then, I read my mother’s text.

  Mom: I’ve arranged for the next two days off. I talked to Jeff and Josh, and they will take care of everything on the ranch. You and Gunner stay in Austin for another couple of days and relax with each other. I love you, Ellie.

  I felt my stomach jump a bit, and I was sure I was grinning from ear to ear. I couldn’t wait to tell Gunner that we had two more days to be with each other.

  Me: Mom, you don’t know how much this means to me. Thank you!

  Mom: Trust me, I know. Get lost in each other again, baby girl.

  I blushed at my mother’s text and then hit Reply.

  Me: Yes, ma’am. I intend on doing a lot more than that!

  I giggled, and then I felt Gunner wrap his arms around me.

  “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 Par
k.

  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.”
