Four Cowboys & a Witch (2 page)

“We’ll drive you.” Trey
stood.

“I’m fine, really. I
have my rental car. I know where the funeral home is.” She walked out of the
room and set her coffee on the kitchen counter. All her thoughts echoed the
men’s desires, but good Texas girls didn’t jump into bed with men -- certainly
not four -- no matter how much they wanted to. As a psychic, sometimes she had
prophetic dreams which materialized in reality, but this was ridiculous!

Trey poured the coffee
as Ben finished up pancakes. Rodney and Sam were searching the computer for any
overnight developments. Dani hadn’t joined them last night, but the quad had
talked it over in depth. No one would pressure her, but all were convinced she
was the answer.

When Dani walked in, all
flowing hair and sweet scent, Trey pulled out a chair.

“A gentleman. Such
manners.” She blushed.

He admired her rear as
she sat. The jeans fit her slender form like a second skin, the brown V-neck
shirt teased, and her brown boots looked old. If she’d kept those, she couldn’t
hate Texas that much. Maybe they could convince her to stay?

“Morning,” the men said.

“Pancakes.” Ben set a
huge platter on the table.

She shook her head. “You
cook. Why don’t you hire a housekeeper?”

“I like it. We have a
lady who comes in to clean and do laundry a few days a week, but cooking feels
good.” Ben went back to the stove and returned with a plate of bacon.

“I’m going to gain ten
pounds in two days.” Dani dug into the food.

Trey laughed. “I watched
you grow up. You can eat anything and never gain an ounce. You’re the girl who
fainted all the time. Everyone said you were delicate.”

“Yeah, sounds better
than she’s psychic. Her brain becomes overwhelmed with too much information.”
Dani added syrup.

“If we start to bombard
you, just yell.” Ben sat next to her.

“I can handle you guys.
It’s mostly sex stuff.” She stopped and bit her lip. “Sorry. I’m truly better
at handling this stuff now.”

“Why hide with us? We
know what we want.” Sam grabbed a piece of bacon.

When Dani stayed quiet
too long, Trey jumped in. “I want to show you the ranch. Sam and Rodney are
going to check up on a current case this morning. Ben has to go into town for
more supplies. So I’ll be your guide.”

She smiled. “Sounds
good. I miss the open spaces and clearing your mind with a long walk or
horseback ride.”

After breakfast, they
all went their separate ways. Trey led Dani out the back door. They walked
toward the barn.

“Sorry if the group is a
little pushy. Ben gets overly excited.” Trey led the way.

“I remember. It’s fine.
Back then I had my own group of friends who protected me. Oddly enough, I
thought all you guys were gay. Your interest in joining us is flattering, but
you can’t do that sort of magic based on lust.” Dani walked into the barn and
inhaled.

“We’re all bisexual.
Magic is Rodney and Ben’s area. I don’t know about that stuff. I love to ranch,
and I don’t like creatures disturbing our way of life. You are a twist for us.
A blast from the past. Of course, I couldn’t have a thing for my best friend’s
little sister. He’d have kicked my ass.”

“You were sleeping with
Ben anyway.” Dani twirled and fell back on a pile of hay. “I do miss it.”

“I know you had a crush
on me.” He flopped down next to her.

“Duh. Everyone knew. I
was in middle school. First loves are frequently foolish and innocent. I’m glad
you’re still with Ben.” She held his hand.

Trey rolled to her.
“It’s not just lust, Dani.”

“It’s complicated.
That’s life.” She stared at him. “You four are good together.”

“We are -- but we could
be better.” He almost leaned in for a kiss, but she stood and dusted off her
rear before he could.

Trey got up and led the
walk out the back to the horses. She headed calmly to the horses. They came to
her like she had treats. All her life, Dani’d had a way with animals, the sort
of talent locals passed off as just being a good rancher. Trey knew she liked
animals because they didn’t hide their feelings or manipulate people. They were
honest creatures. It was part of why he loved them too.

He walked up behind her
and patted the big bay. “When I was a kid, doubting myself, I could always
ride. The horses didn’t care if I liked girls or boys -- or both.”

Dani smiled. “Pure love
and trust, if you earn it… plus no judgment from a horse. So, you were confused
back then? You’re really into both?”

Trey nodded. “Only fight that almost busted up me and Ben.
We both thought the other one was cheating. It turned out we were attracted to
the same woman. We tried, but it was complicated.”

“Rodney and Sam too?”
Dani looked unconvinced.

“Yeah, those two went to
college and did a
lot
of experimenting. They badly miss having a woman.
The group came together when they graduated and were looking for a place to
land. It works. I know it’s crazy, but it’d work even better with a woman in
the mix.” Trey leaned on the fence. “I know it sounds like too much. Four men?”

She looked out at the
horizon. He could see the wheels turning as she processed all the information.
“You okay?” he asked.

“Sure. So you guys sell
the horses? Looks like a breeding operation. No cattle.” She took in the stock.

“Good eye. Sam’s got a
relation in the breeding biz who gave him a deal on stock. They needed to sell
off some. Too much inbreeding is bad. He picked up some others to make new
lines. He and I pretty much run the ranch side of things. Rodney does the
books. Ben likes to play cook.”

“Cook and lord of the
manor.” She smiled. “You four haven’t changed a bit.”

“Neither have you.” Trey
studied her. “Not the real you.”

After lunch, Dani called
to reschedule her appointment with the lawyer. Then she retreated to her
bedroom for a nap. The men needed her. It was a fantasy come true. After seeing
the world they lived in and hearing from Trey how things had unfolded, she
couldn’t shut down her feelings. Her desire for multiple men hadn’t eased at
all.

The men shared one
bedroom and a lot of passion. It’d haunted her dreams the night before, but in
the light of day, Dani knew how crazy it sounded. Who else could she be crazy
with? Four men running a ranch, fine… But sharing one woman?

Dani had loved Texas
growing up. The barbeques, horses, and boots were hard to give up, but it was
more difficult to hide her powers when everyone was in everyone else’s
business. She could help people and be anonymous out east.

Whispers that she was a
witch or a demon had started when she was in middle school. Her parents ignored
it, downplayed it, and kept her inside as much as possible. They didn’t know
how to handle it. She couldn’t blame them.

She wouldn’t go back to
hiding and not using what God and the Goddess had given her. Aunt Millie said
there was room for both. Dani was no longer a child. If someone was embarrassed
by her, they could go away.

Dani set the small box
of ashes on the vanity. Aunt Millie had lived alone, never married and never
complained. The plan had been for Dani to do the same. She didn’t want to pass
the gift down to anyone or drag someone into her stress. The men here had plans
of their own. She sensed their intentions in every move they made. She’d have
to be strong to resist.

Looking in the mirror,
she knew she didn’t want to resist, though. The sexual fantasy of a lifetime
was here, but the feelings she had for them hadn’t disappeared, either. She
loved them all, and somehow she was meant to be here with them now. Destiny had
made a believer out of her back in high school. In her vision, Sam had mounted
the horse in the chute, and she’d seen him fall, trapped with one leg under the
horse.

If only she’d seen it
sooner. The others had run in after him and stopped the round. He might’ve been
killed if they’d delayed the rescue, but his leg had still ended up badly
busted. Yet he didn’t hold a grudge against animals. They were all amazing men.
How could she resist the short term temptation?

She headed downstairs
and found all four of them in their man cave. They were intentionally giving
her space. Right now all she wanted was to be close to them. Dating was
difficult for a psychic. If the man had no clue of her gifts, she couldn’t
resist picking his brain for big warning signs. If the man knew about her, he
wanted to test her or play games.

These four men had never
used her or called her a liar. The relationship was special, whatever form it
took. She couldn’t see her own future, the one block to her impressive powers,
so she trusted her instincts and tried not to second guess them. Aunt Millie
had drawn her back here for a reason. Despite all the meditation Dani had done
before returning to Texas, she’d yet to see Aunt Millie’s spirit near her.

She slid onto Ben’s lap
and took off her boots and socks. Her bare feet found Sam’s leg and soaked up
the energy of his nagging ache.

“You okay? Look like
you’ve seen a ghost.” Trey smiled.

“No, I’m not a good
medium, but I thought I would see Aunt Millie -- or at least feel her -- but
nothing yet. Am I in the way?” she asked.

“Never.” Rodney put the
computer aside. “I would like to pick your brain at some point on this case.”

“Sure, but I don’t feel
like that’s on your mind now.” She ran her hand over his chest. The soft cotton
T-shirt did nothing to keep the heat from her palm. He was always so contained
on the outside, but Rodney felt deeply.

“Are you sure about
this?” Sam asked.

She slid to his lap and
smiled. “Maybe my powers are misreading everyone. I don’t want to cause any
trouble. You four have a great thing going here.”

“This isn’t about your
powers, Dani. It’s about you. What you want.” Ben kicked off his boots and
tugged at Trey’s.

Dani pressed to Sam and
kissed him slowly. The fire took hold. She deepened the kiss as his arms held
her. Rodney’s lips found her shoulder and then the back of her neck. When his
tongue teased behind her ear, Dani pulled Rod toward Sam into a three-way kiss.
Awkward at first, she found the men loved kissing each other as much as her. It
wasn’t too much. In fact, she wanted more.

After Sam tugged off
Rod’s shirt, Rod did the same to Sam. Dani let her hands trail over their
muscles. She sucked a flat nipple on each man and groans rewarded her. She ran
her hands boldly over their flies. The heat of their sexual energy nearly
knocked her back.

“Easy. You don’t want to
faint. We’re not going to overload your psychic powers.” Ben slid up behind her
and held her.

Trey nodded. “We were
worried about that.”

Dani shook her head. “I’ve
had sex, but it’s different with four. I can block out your feelings, though,
now that I’m used to it.”

Ben pulled her shirt
over her head.

Kissing him, she focused
on her needs while keeping her mind out of theirs. It worked so well that her
arousal took center stage. Taking off Trey’s shirt, she saw the scars. He’d
been a rodeo rider for a bit too. He’d stopped when he’d earned a bunch of
stitches. She leaned in and kissed them as Ben unhooked her bra.

Once the scrap of cotton
was gone, too many hands to count slid over her body. Trey kissed her breast
then reached behind her to strip Ben’s shirt off. Dani pulled Trey up. She
kissed his mouth then turned and kissed Ben.

“Does it always take
this long to get everyone naked?” she asked.

Ben laughed. “No, but
men tend to go right for the naked action.”

“Not that we’re not
romantic. We’re very affectionate. We are. Hit the sex button, though, then
things work faster.” Trey nipped her neck.

She smiled. “You’re
going slow so I don’t feel rushed.”

“No rush. No overloading
you. We’ve got all the time in the world.” Rodney opened Sam’s fly and pulled
out his cock.

Dani moaned as she
stared at the pulsing shaft. There were four men all around her. Dani’s pussy
grew wetter at the idea. Her fingers grazed Sam’s balls as Rodney pushed the
jeans down. Sam unbuttoned Rodney’s fly while Dani did the same to Trey. The
men coordinated expertly. Dani found Ben stripping her jeans off as the other
three shed their clothing. Everyone was naked in seconds. Then Trey turned his
attention to taking Ben’s clothes off.

Sitting on the couch,
she took in the view of all four of them, hard and sexy. She wanted every one
of them. When Ben went into a bathroom, she wondered if the moment had passed.
Then he returned with two big handfuls of familiar packets.

She grabbed some. There
were condoms and lube. They were definitely prepared. “You guys must go through
a lot of these.”

“Safety first.” Ben
kissed her as he set the piles on the end table.

Dani pulled Trey into
the kiss then eased back to watch the men get into each other. She looked over
to Sam and Rodney. They’d taken it to the next level. Sam sucked Rodney’s cock
as Rodney stroked Sam’s.

She kneeled on the
couch, and stared up at Trey and Ben kissing. Leaning forward, she licked their
erections. It was real. The amazing view of them pressed together so their
cocks nearly touched made it even better. She sucked the tips and tongued down
the length of each. Groping their balls, she let herself get lost in the
sensations.

Sam’s hand slid between
her legs. Dani moaned as his fingers worked magic on her slit. She couldn’t
deny what she wanted and grabbed a condom. Dani tossed the packet on Sam’s
stomach. He took the hint. As she kissed him, she straddled his hips. Once the
protection was in place, she slid down on his cock until she had it all.

“We knew you’d fit right
in.” Rodney kissed her then Sam.

Dani rode her cowboy.
She kissed him until he took over, gripping her hips. Both of their mouths
turned to Rodney and sucked his cock. One man wasn’t enough. Dani had to admit
she’d never been fully satisfied with previous boyfriends.

“Ever tried two?” Rod
asked her.

“No. Can you handle it?”
she asked.

Smiling, Sam slid his
ass toward the end of the couch. Dani shivered at the new angle and rode his
cock harder. She’d tried anal sex before, but it sounded much better with her
pussy filled as well.
