Page 20 of Beau (Sheppard’s Shadow #5)

With her legs wrapped around him, he stepped back and reached for his belt.

She hadn’t noticed that he wore belts all the time, but thought that it was a way to torture her more when all she wanted was him.

As soon as he had his pants undone and pulled to his thighs, Danielle reached for his cock and wrapped her hand around him.

“Christ,” He hissed as she touched him. When he took another step back, she pulled him forward and guided him to her sheath. “I won’t last long if I enter you now.”

“Please.” He moved forward, and she could feel his cock at her entrance.

With her hand still wrapped around him, she moved herself to a better position as he took another step toward her.

As soon as she could feel his heat where she wanted him, Danielle let him go and moved her hips in a way that took him inside of her. “Oh, Beau, yes.”

Neither of them moved as they were attached at the groin.

She could feel herself adjusting to his size and loved the feeling of him filling her up.

As soon as he moved, just an adjustment to his hips, she came so hard that she nearly bucked him off her.

It was more than she could have hoped for.

Then he started moving in and out of her.

Cupping her ass, he pulled her off the counter and took her to the wall behind him.

The three or so strides were enough to make her see stars.

It felt so good. As soon as she was pressed against the wall, he started fucking her like he was never going to quit.

Every part of her body felt like he was fucking it, and she held onto his shoulders or she would fall to the floor.

His hands on her ass were tightly massaging her.

She knew she was going to be bruised tomorrow, but she found that she didn’t care.

Right now, they were both having the time of their lives, and she didn’t care if tomorrow never came for them.

As soon as he stiffened inside of her, she closed her eyes tightly.

Whatever was coming, she was going to be prepared for it.

When Beau threw back his head and cried out, she leaned into his throat and bit down hard enough that she was rewarded with a mouthful of his hot, spicy blood.

It brought her so hard that she had to hang on or pass out from the sensation of coming apart and being slammed back together in seconds.

Christ, she couldn’t hang on to her consciousness any longer.

Beau was quite proud of himself as he watched over Danielle while she rested.

She’d fainted, and he was never so proud of himself as he was in that moment.

But still, he watched over her just in case something else happened to her while he waited.

Taking her warm hand into his own, he kissed the back of it and put it back under the light blanket that he’d tossed over her when he’d put her into bed.

Getting up when he started to feel like he needed to join her in bed, he went to the window and looked out over the expanse of their backyard, and noticed the big barn as well as someone out mowing the lawn.

He watched them doing the yard for a few minutes when he heard a slight sound from behind him.

Turning, he was able to watch Danielle sitting up and lying quickly back down on the bed.

“Are you all right?” She glared at him, which made him laugh. “I know how you feel. You got a bit more magic. Since I’m used to having it, it didn’t hit me as hard as it did you.”

“How about if you come over here and let me hit you as hard as this has me?” She laughed but held her head. “I feel as if I’ve been run over in a good way. If that makes any sense.”

“It does actually. But really, how are you feeling?” She said she was fine so long as she didn’t move very much or very quickly. “Good. I guess that’s some improvement. At least you’re sitting up now. When you passed out on me, I was terrified at first.”

“At first? Then what happened?” He told her that he’d been proud of himself. “Proud of yourself for rendering me unconscious? That sort of sounds a little sick if you… Wait, I guess I can understand what you mean. You did make me out of it for a while. Good job.”

“Thanks. But next time I’d like to be in a bed.

I’m a little sore on the backs of my legs and shoulders.

” She asked him if she’d hurt him. “I’m not going to answer that on account of me being so proud of the fact that you were out for a bit.

That sort of defeats the purpose of being proud of myself. ”

“You’re strange. Did you know that?” He grinned at her and agreed with her. “Good. I don’t want anyone to let you think that you’re anything but strange. Very strange.”

“If you’re feeling up to it, I’m starving.

Would you like to go out and get some dinner?

” She said that sounded good and started to get out of bed.

She was still a little lightheaded, but she got to the bathroom with his help.

When she claimed she wanted a shower, he said that he’d join her as he was feeling the need for one as well.

They took a quick shower together, and he got his back scrubbed when he did the same for her.

“You’re so lovely, Danielle. Did anyone ever call you a shortened version of your name? ”

“No. My grandda did for a little while, but he died when I was four. He called me Dani. But it didn’t catch on, and I’ve been Danielle my whole life.

” She dressed in a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt to go out with him when he told her that it was going to be casual.

“What about you? Did anyone ever call you Bo?”

“No. I’ve been Beau just like you have been Danielle, your whole life.

” She thought that it was a good name and asked him where he’d gotten it.

“My mother didn’t care for shortened versions of names.

The only reason that Archie was called Archie is because my dad’s name was Archibald.

She thought that Beau was short enough as it was, and no one would try to shorten it.

However, for a whole year in grade school, this kid kept calling me Bo-Bo. Thankfully, it never caught on.”

They talked about his brothers all the way to the little diner that was on Forty. It was good hot food, if not a little greasy. But it stuck to your ribs so you’d not have to get something else to eat in a couple of hours to appeal to your stomach because you were hungry again.

Both of them got burgers and shakes to eat.

Then, for dessert, they were able to get themselves the last of the pie from the day.

It was lemon ice box pie and cherry that was left, and they both enjoyed it to the max.

Beau thought that the cherry should have had ice cream on it, but they were out, so he had to settle for just plain.

After they were finished, they walked back home and got into the house just as it started to rain.

He hated rainy days in the fall. It made everything a mess.

Nor did he like the wet leaves on the street; they made the road slippery, and he was always fearful of an accident happening when the roads were like that.

“It looks like it’s set to rain all night.” He agreed with Danielle as they cleaned up the mess they’d made in the kitchen. As they were wiping down the counters, all he could think about was how much he’d enjoyed their lovemaking and was glad that they were finally going to be sleeping together.

He had to refrain from trying to get Danielle to go to bed at eight.

He just wanted to sleep with her tonight and wake up with her by his side in the morning.

When they finally did go to bed at ten-thirty, he was so exhausted that he nearly forgot they were going to sleep in the master bedroom as their first night together.

Getting into the big bed made him appreciate the smaller bed he’d been sleeping in until now.

Beau was lucky that he’d fit in the smaller bed he realized now that he had a bigger bed to compare it to.

“Do you have to work in the morning?” He had to think for a moment and told her that he did until noon. “I have to meet with your sister, Sunny. She’s going to show me how to use some of the magic that I got when we first started seeing one another. I guess now there will be more, right?”

“Yes. For both of us. The one thing that I might enjoy as much as you do is not having to change when we get out of the shower. We can think of something to wear, and we’ll be wearing it.

Archie said that it was his favorite bit of magic.

I can see myself using it for all kinds of things.

Like having to change to go out to dinner.

Or just getting out of the shower in the morning.

What about you? Do you think you’re going to use it all that much? ”

“I don’t have to shift or anything, but like you, I can see myself using it if I have to change for a meeting that I forgot about.

Also, if I get something on me. That would be very handy.

” He teased her about getting something on her and said he’d gladly lick her clean.

“Behave. I’m still sore from earlier. Especially the backs of my legs. ”

They curled up in the bed together and talked about the magic that Beau had.

Danielle wanted to be able to be a cat, but he had to ask for permission for that.

Just as he was dozing off, she reminded him that he had to help his brother Jameson tomorrow, too, with his moving.

His house was finished too, and they were all going to help him move into it.

He’d opted not to have furniture with his so that he could pick things up as he made his way around.
