Raven

Hannah was exhausted by the time we got back to the ranch. I carried her inside, and her brother Zach met us in the living room. “Is she okay?”

“She is just exhausted, aside from a few bumps and bruises. It’s over. We got Jenkins and the bulk of his thugs. Those we didn’t get are running for their lives. The ranchers can have their lives back and their property.” I said.

“That’s great,” said Zach. “I don’t know how I can thank you for everything you’ve done for us.”

“You don’t owe me any thanks. I was made to protect and serve. And to love Hannah. Without that tyrant playing dictator over the town, you should all be able to get back to living your lives. And now, Hannah and I can begin our own. We’ll talk more in the morning.”

“Goodnight, then,” said Zach, and he headed toward his and Grace’s bedroom.

I carried Hannah to our room and sat down on the bed, holding her in my arms, profoundly grateful I got there before Jenkins had the chance to do something horrible to her.

I could hardly breathe for several heartbeats as I let myself remember the stark terror I felt from the moment I’d discovered they had taken her.

She stirred in my arms as I kissed the top of her head and murmured my name.

“Yes, sweetheart. I’ve got you. We’re home safe. I’ll help you undress so we can go to bed.”

“So, we can breed?”

That was all it took to stiffen my cock. “You’re so tired that you can barely keep your eyes open.”

“I don’t care. I need you to fuck me while we are finally alone. Just a quick one. Then I can sleep,” she mumbled.

I chuckled. “Anything you want, my mate.” In truth, I needed our joining as much as she did.

I quickly undressed us both, turned back the bed cover, and helped Hannah slide into the middle. I crawled in after her, and she held out her arms to me. I moved between her legs and settled on top of her, holding my weight above her.

“Mm, Raven. Now I have you right where I want you, and I am so wet for you.”

“And it is a sweet scent,” I whispered and kissed her tenderly.

“I've missed our alone time over the last few days.” Hannah caressed my cheek as our lips parted.

“I have, too. Things should settle down now that Jenkins’s gang is in custody.”

“Mm.” She tilted her hips upward, stroking my cock with her pussy. I took that as a hint to put it inside her. She let out a satisfied “Ah.” Wrapping her arms around me, she stroked my back as I began to pump in and out of her.

“You like that, do you?” I couldn’t help smiling at her dreamy expression.

“Mm-hm.” She raised her hips to meet my thrusts. “Very much.” She emphasized her words, running her hands up and down my back in sweet caresses.

I thrust slowly and deeply, rotating my hips to rub the hilt against her clit. I took her mouth in a tender, passionate kiss, twirling my tongue around hers. As I sensed she was close to orgasm, I reached between us and pinched her sensitive nipples to send her over the edge.

Hannah moaned into my mouth, and her whole body shuddered as she clamped her inner walls around my cock. That was all I needed to pour my nanite-laden seed into her womb. As her orgasmic contractions continued, she slid her hands down to my lower back and held me to her.

“I love you, Raven,” she whispered sleepily.

I said it back, but she fell asleep while I was still inside her. I stayed there until my erection waned and carefully pulled out of her. After watching her sleep for a few minutes, I got up to relieve myself in the bathroom and got a wet cloth to clean her.

Finally, I was able to sleep for a few hours. Hannah was still sleeping, as I expected when I woke. I dressed quietly and went out to the kitchen, where I found her brother Zach making breakfast.

“Good morning, Zach. How are Grace and the baby?”

“They are doing just fine as far as I can tell. Grace is a little worn out from giving birth, but it’s only been two days. However, we’ve been fortunate that Will only wakes up a couple of times at night. I figured I should let her sleep as much as possible.”

“Is there anything I can do to help you?”

“I’m good here, but maybe you could start some of the chores. I haven’t even gotten any of the animals out of the barn yet.”

“No problem. Hannah showed me what to do. I imagine it will be a while before she is awake. Her ordeal just wore her out.”

“Things should start settling down now that Jenkins and his gang are out of the picture,” Zach said while cracking eggs into a bowl for scrambled eggs.

“That reminds me. How would you feel about me building a house on the property here for Hannah and me? It was always my intention when I came to claim her as my mate. I just got sidetracked by the gang activity.”

“It’s OK by me. I’d rather have you guys close by since Hannah is the only family I have besides Grace and Will. And I can surely understand that you need your own space.”

“We’ll talk more later after I finish chores.”

As I went outdoors, the sun was rising above the horizon in a clear sky.

More than half of the displaced ranchers had already left, and the rest were in various stages of packing up to follow suit.

I felt a certain amount of pride that my work had improved their circumstances, allowing them to return home.

Now was the time to rebuild the community that one man’s greed had fractured.

The Cyborg Rangers assigned me the job of protector of this region.

Medicine Bow Mountains, Brislow—all of it.

It sounded like a lot, but the whole area was sparsely populated, with only a couple more towns about the size of Brislow and the ranches in between.

Ranchers had abandoned many of them long ago.

Hannah and I could probably find one to claim as our own, but with everything she and Zach had been through, I thought she would be happier living close to her brother. But I would leave that up to her.

The rest of the displaced ranchers had left by the time I finished caring for the livestock, tending the garden, and collecting the eggs. Back at the ranch house, I set the egg basket on the kitchen counter and went to our room to check on Hannah.

She was just coming out of the bathroom naked when I entered the room. I couldn’t help smiling as I savored the sight of her. She was the most beautiful woman in the world, my woman. I went to her and slid my arms around her.

“How do you feel, sweetheart?”

“Just fine now that you’re here.” She slid her hands up my chest and around my neck, gazing up at me with her lips parted, inviting me to kiss her.

Of course, I did, long and slow. By the time I finished, Hannah was pulling my shirt untucked from my trousers and opening the hook-and-loop closure on them.

I took off my boots and stepped out of them after she pushed them to the floor. Then, I pulled my T-shirt off over my head. At first, I thought she was just going to help me undress, only she knelt on the floor in front of me and began to stroke my cock.

I groaned as I realized what she was about to do.

It felt so damn good I wasn’t about to stop her.

She kissed and licked up and down the length of it while massaging my balls.

I widened my stance as the sensations of her caresses drove me wild.

As she dragged her tongue to the tip, she took the head into her mouth, licking and sucking it.

Since only a portion would fit in her mouth, she worked the rest with her hand.

I held out as long as I could, letting her decide whether I would come in her mouth or not.

This was something we hadn’t done before.

As much as I enjoyed it, I was ever cognizant of her pleasure as well.

As I watched her, running my fingers through her hair, it seemed clear that she was enjoying it as well.

“I’m going to come, baby. Whatever you decide is fine.”

“Mm-hm.” Was her only reply as she sucked harder. Then, it was too late as I came shooting my seed down her throat. She took it all and looked up at me, proudly smiling as she swallowed the last.
