Searching for a New Home (11 page)

I am grateful for the support of Jacob's arm
because I am not sure my wobbly legs will support me. That was some
kiss, even more potent than the last one.

When we reach my door, Jacob tenderly strokes
his fingers down my cheek and places a light chaste kiss on my
lips. "I love you Jana." Then he turns and proceeds down the hall
to his room.

I am stunned. My feet seem rooted to the
floor as I watch Jacob enter his room. Slowly, I close the door to
my room and sink to the floor. Jacob loves me! A long time later I
manage to climb under the covers and slip into a deep sleep filled
with dreams of Jacob and the kiss.

Jacob steps under the icy cold spray of his
shower and a grin slides across his face. Yes, he is definitely in
love with Jana. He can't believe how quickly and how powerfully he
responds to her. He completely loses himself in her. Tonight he
would have taken her on the sofa if not for the door closing
upstairs. He is looking forward to the day he can take her into his
bed and spend hours exploring this chemistry between them. They are
going to be magnificent together!

******

The next morning I am standing at the stove
preparing breakfast. Dani is sitting at the table eating pancakes
when Jacob enters the kitchen. He walks straight to the stove and
places a warm lingering kiss on my lips. The zing of electrical
energy zips through our veins and Jacob smiles warmly at me.

Dani is surprised ... and thrilled. Her Daddy
kissed Jana! Maybe Jana will be her new Mommie after all. That
would be the best Christmas present of all. She'll write to Santa
Claus and ask. She quickly finishes her pancakes then she takes her
plate to the sink and runs up the stairs to her room. She takes
paper out of her backpack and proceeds to write her letter asking
Santa to please make Jana her Mommie for Christmas. She folds the
paper and places it in an envelope that she addresses to Santa
Claus, North Pole, USA. Then she runs back down stairs and searches
for her Uncle Jason. She finds him in the laundry room getting
ready to head to the barn.

"Uncle Jason?" calls Dani.

"Hey Pipsqueak, what's up?" answers
Jason.

"Will you mail my letter to Santa for me
please?" asks Dani.

"Sure. I'll drop it off this afternoon,"
replies Jason.

He sticks the letter in his coat pocket and
heads out to the barn. A short time later he sees Jacob and hands
him the letter.

"Dani gave me a letter to mail to Santa this
morning. I thought you might want to read it," says Jason.

Jacob sits down on a bale of hay and opens
the letter.

Dani wrote,

'Dear Santa,

I have been extra good this year because I want a
really special present. You don't have to bring me anything else
but please, please, please, bring Jana to be my Mommie. I love her
and she'll be the best Mommie ever.

Love, Dani Murray.'

Jacob wipes the back of his hand across his
eyes to remove the moisture. He hands the letter to Jason. After
glancing at the words, Jason asks, "Are you going to give her what
she wants?"

Jacob looks at his brother, "I'm going to
try."

Jason smiles at his twin.

******

That night after Jacob is absolutely certain
that Dani is sound asleep he again knocks on my bedroom door. He
intends to go back downstairs and hold Jana in his arms, kiss her
until she is breathless and then ask her to be his wife.

When I answer the door I am dressed only in
my sheer silk nightgown.

His breath catches in his lungs at the vision
before him. His heart kicks into overdrive and his breathing
becomes shallow and labored. His male member springs to immediate
attention. She is so gorgeous. Her blonde hair is falling in waves
around her shoulders and her rosy puckered nipples are straining
against the sheer material of her gown begging for his attention.
He gazes deeply into her stormy blue eyes then he reaches for her
hand and without a word leads her down the hall to his master
suite.

He closes and locks the door then he turns to
me and tenderly strokes a finger down my cheek. "Jana, tell me now
if you don't want this because I don't think I'll be able to stop
once I touch you."

I answer by wrapping my arms around his neck
and placing my lips against his. The expected zing crashes through
our bodies. Jacob wraps me in his arms and plunges his tongue into
my warmth drinking deeply of my sweetness with a hunger he didn't
know he possessed. He picks me up and lays me gently onto his bed,
following me down.

"Oh God, Jana, I have waited so long to have
you in my bed." He tenderly strokes my body as he delves deeply
into the sweetness of my mouth. "You are so sweet!" His heart is
slamming against the wall of his chest and his member is throbbing,
straining to escape his jeans.

I am lost. The minute Jacob's lips touch mine
all thought flies out of my head and I becomes a boiling, seething
cauldron of feelings. My heart is pounding with anticipation, my
breathing coming in short shallow gasps and desire pools heavily
low in my belly. I reach for the buttons on Jacob's shirt craving
the feel of his skin beneath my fingers. When finally I part the
sides of his shirt and touch the bulging muscles of his chest a
moan of extreme pleasure escapes my lips.

When Jana's hands touch the muscles of his
chest Jacob experiences a pleasure as never before. His breath
catches in his lungs. He has to possess this woman, now! Jacob
breaks their kiss long enough to stand and strip his clothes from
his body.

My breath catches in my lungs when I see his
magnificent body bared to my view for the first time. I slowly move
my eyes down from his gorgeous face, over the bulging muscles of
his chest and shoulders, down over the hard abdominal muscles to
his male member, standing proud in all its glory.

I raise my arms beckoning him to join me and
he sits down on the edge of the bed next to me. He grasps the hem
of my gown and slowly raises it up my legs baring them to his view.
His eyes are glowing with warmth. Just before baring my most
private part to his view he stops and opens the drawer of the
bedside table. He reaches inside and grabs a handful of condoms
laying them on the table top. He quickly opens one and sheathes
himself, then looks back at me.

I am smiling and beg, "Hurry Jacob, I need
you so much!"

He quickly raises the gown over my head and
drops it to the floor. He brushes his palm across the nipple of my
breast and hears my sharp intake of breath. Then he lowers his head
and takes my puckered nipple into his mouth suckling. Oh God, she
is so sweet! He is in heaven.

When Jacob places his mouth over my nipple
sucking, sharp streaks of pleasure zip through my body straight to
my center causing me to gasp with pleasure.

"Oh, Jacob!" He feasts on first one and then
the other breast causing me to move restlessly beneath him.

He moves one of his hands down my body
through the curls at my apex into the folds of my warmth. Finding
my center, he slowly inserts a finger, then two. Raising his head,
he is gazes deeply into the depths of my stormy blue eyes. He
probes me gently and finds me hot and wet. He whispers, "Mmmmm,
perfect! God, Jana, I need you so much!"

Panting with need, I cry, "Now, Jacob, I need
you now!" I have never craved joining my body with a man before but
I crave Jacob. My body aches with the need to feel him filling me,
stretching me.

He positions himself between my legs. Gazing
intently into my stormy blue eyes, he smiles and slowly enters my
body. A moan of pleasure escapes his lips. His pleasure is so great
it takes every ounce of his control not to lose it all at that
moment. He lowers his lips to mine and drinks deeply of my
sweetness as he begins the dance as old as time.

As Jacob slowly slides his member into my
warmth, I think, this is it. This is home. This is where I am
supposed to be. Pleasure more exquisite than I have ever
experienced before flows through my body and tears of joy slide
from my eyes.

Seeing her tears, Jacob freezes and asks,
"Jana?"

"Please Jacob, don't stop!" I pull his head
down to mine and kiss him deeply as he slowly moves in and out of
my body.

As we crash over into the world where lovers
go, Jacob smothers my cries of ecstasy with a deep kiss. As we
float back to earth he moves to my side and pulls me into his arms.
He whispers, "Jana, why are you crying? I didn't hurt you did
I?"

I am sobbing quietly, "No, Jacob, you didn't
hurt me. It was just so ... magnificent! I've never experienced
anything like it before."

Smiling Jacob says, "I know what you mean. I
knew we would be explosive because of the sexual attraction between
us. But, wow! It was magnificent! I love you Jana."

And he spends the rest of the night showing
me time after time just how much.

Heavy snow is forecast for Christmas Eve, but
I still have a few things I need from town so I decide to head out
right after breakfast. I am in a hurry so I don't bother waiting
for one of the guards to go with me.

I quickly get what I need in town and head
back to the car. A light snow has already begun to fall. Being from
Texas I don't have a lot of experience driving in heavy snow, but I
feel I have enough experience to make it back to the ranch safely
even on unplowed roads. From the time I pull out of the downtown
parking lot I have a prickly sensation along the back of my neck.
I'm not sure why, maybe just nerves because of the snow. I better
stay alert just in case, Sam Willard is still around. I check my
purse to make sure my Glock is ready just in case.

******

Jacob is busy in the barn finishing up last
minute chores before their client is to pick up the ten horses he
and Jason have been training. His cell phone rings,

"Jacob Murray"

"Hey Jacob, it's Tom."

"Merry Christmas, Tom, what's up?"

"Sam Willard was spotted again last night in
Cody. He managed to elude the police but he is around. I wanted to
make sure everyone at your house is safe," says Tom.

"Damn. Jana went into Cody a little while
ago. I hope she carried one of the security guards with her but I'm
not sure. I better go check. Keep me posted Tom."

"Will do," replies Tom.

******

By the time I get about three quarters of the
way home, the snow is falling so fast and hard that the wipers
can't even clear it off the windshield. While my SUV is 4-wheel
drive, it sits very low to the ground and is having a lot of
trouble pushing its way through the deep snow. I am getting nervous
but I keep driving, praying for my safety. All of a sudden I feel a
hard bump from behind, then the steering wheel jerks out of my
hands and the car slides into the deep ditch along the side of the
highway.

Oh God! What's going
on?
My heart is pounding with fear. Someone just pushed
me off the road! Checking the rear view mirror I see a dark sedan
with tinted windows right behind me. It's Sam Willard! I try to
back out of the ditch, but the wheels just spin. I reach for my
purse to call Jacob and grab my Glock. That's when I realize I left
my phone charging on the kitchen counter. Oh, God, how could I have
been so stupid! I place the gun in my lap and look out the windows.
The snow is falling so fast I can't see anything outside the car. I
check to make sure the doors are all locked and slide down as far
as I can in the driver's seat.

The back window shatters and I hear the
report of a large caliber handgun. Oh God, he is going to kill me.
I can't see anything through the windows because they are covered
with snow.

******

Jacob is pacing back and forth from one end
of the great room to the other. Jana should have been back by now.
He tried to call her but when he heard her phone ring in the
kitchen he realized she had forgotten it. Damn!

"Jason, I'm going to look for Jana. She
should have been back by now." Jacob states.

Jason replies, "I'll go with you. We can take
the sleigh Dad used to deliver feed to the cows out in the pastures
back in the day."

"Great idea, I'll go get it hitched up while
you explain things to Jenny. Try not to worry Dani, all right?"
says Jacob. Then he places a call to the sheriff in Cody to make
his way from town toward the ranch.

******

I know I am in trouble. Sam Willard is
outside my car somewhere. He's already shot at the car once.

I know Jacob will undoubtedly come looking
for me but I have to survive until he gets here. I try to open the
door of the SUV but the snow is so deep I can't push it open. If
the snow is that deep I know it must be above the tail pipe so I
turn off the engine to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. At least
the snow will be just as deep on his car. I grab the blankets from
the back that Jenny insists I always carry in my car in winter and
wrap them around my body to try to stay as warm as I can while I
wait. I slide down in the seat as far as I can so I can't be seen
from outside. My heart is pounding with fear.

It seems like hours have passed but I know in
reality it is only a few minutes. I hear a scraping on the side of
the car. I am shaking with fear and my heart feels like it is going
to jump right out of my chest. The scraping sounds like it is
coming from the passenger side so I take my gun in the grip I was
taught in CHL class and aim it at the door.

Sam Willard screams, "Where is the rest of
the money bitch? I know you have it and I'm going to get it! Tell
me where it is and maybe I'll spare your life!"

I climb into the back end of the car where
the window is shattered in case Willard decides to start taking pot
shots trying to hit me. I lie flat to try to make myself as small
of a target as I can. I am wrapped in the blankets and praying
Jacob will hurry.
