Taming Honey

Chapter 11

The first thing Honey came aware off when she broke conciseness was warmth. Delicious warmth all surrounding her. After being cold from worry over Blaze and Rio if felt like heaven, or rather hell from the temperature. Breathing deeply she refused to open her eyes. Honey knew what she'd find anyway, the men. All naked from what she could tell and all extremely close to her heated body.

After climbing through the side window of the stable with Clay holding onto her arms they were met with a few of the ranch hands at the bottom. They rounded the side of the stable and met up with the rest of them and a few people from town at the front. The occasional snort caught her attention and Honey noticed the horses running round the pasture. Blaze and Rio must've let them free but where were they? The smoke got darker in colour and billowed out from the stable in every which way. Flames licked up the sides and enclosed the wood stature with its boiling heat. But still no sign of Blaze or Rio.

Clay held her tight for a few seconds before giving a kiss on the forehead and releasing her, he went to help with water dispensing but shock and anger tensed his shoulders. Someone purposely set out to harm them. And his brothers are still inside. Clay inhaled a few deep breaths and joined the ranch hands and a few men from town as they poured water on the burning building. One by one the horses ran out the flame ridden stable doors only to be caught by a ranch hand and given water immediately.

Cursing from the side of the stable made him held his breath in case he heard things, but when it came again he dropped the bucket of water he was holding and raced to the bottom side window. A boot wearing foot slammed through the glass before Clay was pushed to the back of the ranch hands as they pulled Blaze through the window. Followed closely by Rio. Soot covered them from head to toe and deep coughing wracked their bodies. Clay breathed deeply when he saw them and intense relief flooded him.

After watching his brothers for a few moments get checked out by the local doctor Clay hunted Honey down. She was in the arms of Jackson, his oldest ranch hand. The man held her like he would a child. All soothing words and hugs. Clay didn't feel a hint of panic when it came to Jackson, he trusted the man with his life just as his fathers had before. When Jackson saw him the man gave Honey a chaste kiss on the forehead and released her into his waiting arms. As soon as Clay felt her slight weight against him he let out the breath he was holding. Honeys sobs broke his heart. He would find the bastard who did this. Grabbing her thighs he urged her to wrap her legs around his waist, her head buried in the crook of his neck.

Clay walked past the stable in time to see the structure crumble to the floor. He felt a moment of panic, and to insure his brothers were still there jogged with honey cradled to his front to where they were. Doc Harvord was just checking over Rio but Blaze was up and moving. Soot still covered him but his youngest brother looked more pissed than anything. Clay knew as soon as Blaze spotted Honey because his eyes lit up. He watched as his youngest brother walked stiffly to where they were. As soon as Blaze was within touching distance Clay relinquished Honey into his arms and watched as Blaze held her tight to his chest.

Rio muttered curse words when he saw Blaze hold Honey tight to him. Sobs wracked his girls body and he wasn't their to hold her. After answering a few questions and a checkup from the Doc, Rio was free to go. He thanked everybody who was there but was waved away. His ranch hands said they'd take care of the horses for the rest of the day and clean up what they could of the stable. The sheriff would be round later for a statement but until then he was told to rest. Indicating to his brothers to go up to the house he followed them closely behind.

Blinking slowly Honey registered the darkness which enclosed the room. A small sliver off sunlight peaked through the gap in the blackout curtains. Honey yawned whilst looking around the room. The main bedroom. None of the brothers resided in this room but Honey had cleaned it before so she knew that through the three doors two of them were for a walk in wardrobe and the other for the ensuite. The middle door was to the hallway. A puff of warm breath on her nipple made her gasp. Looking down Honeys eyes widened when she saw Clays head resting on her chest. His lips so close to her breast. A moan from the other side startled her into looking into deep chocolate eyes. Rio. He blinked owlishly at her, Honey smiled before she could stop it. He looked so adorable. His brown hair stuck up all over the place and he had a little pout gracing his lips. Realising that none of them were covered up Honey looked down yo see Blazes head resting on her tummy with his arms wrapped around her hips. His chest rubbed her naked legs. Blinking suddenly Honey realised something."Why am I not wearing clothes?"

Movement which jumbled his head awoke him with a start. His head rested on Honeys breast with Clay doing the same on the other side and Blaze hugging her tummy. The large flesh of her breast cradled his head with its warmth. Honeys yawn woke him further. After following his brothers into the house they realised that Honey had fallen asleep. The red tear tracks down her cheeks almost killed him. Without words they walked to the unused master bedroom, laying Honey down, taking showers then joining her in the bed. They each wanted the feeling of flesh so they stripped Honey then covered her with their bodies and warmth. Honeys stumbled question almost made him laugh. She sounded quite shocked. Muffling his laughter Rio buried his head in the flesh of her breast. His lips grazed the side of her nipple as he held the skin of her breast in his teeth to stop from laughing. Honeys gasp was music to his ears, before slowly she pulled his head up from her breast by his hair, his lips still attached. Her eyes enlarging when she realised he wasn't releasing her. He sucked hard on her breast leaving his mark and beamed with pure male satisfaction when he heard her moan. Gentling his sucking he lazily kissed her breast."Glad your awake baby" he slowly moved his lips to her nipple and lazily grazed the hard nub."Gotta be awake for this" he mumbled before sucking deeply on her nipple.

Honey inhaled suddenly when Rio sucked sharply on her nipple. He suckled, with long harsh strokes which sent a lightening bolt of desire to her core. "Rio...." She whispered trying to pull his head away from her abused nipple. He refused to release. She didn't want the others to wake up and see what Rio was doing. Her face heated at the idea but strangely her core tingled more.

"Hmmm say my name Honey" Rios husky grumble made her release a choked laugh which Rio joined in on. His stubble chaffing her breast when he moved up her chest until his lips touched her throat and his chest covered her breast. The smell of smoke instantly made her alert. Honey grabbed his cheeks in the palm of her hands and pulled his face up until their noses touched. Her eyes betraying her worry.

Rio barely contained the growl when her nipple brushed his. The hard nub rubbed a path on his chest. His erection became rock hard when he felt the outline of hips and knew her bare heated centre laid only a couple of feet away. Honeys quick indrawn of breath and soft hands pulling his face up almost made him moan. So close. But the tears dotting her eyelids made him soften. But only a little."I'm okay baby, so is Rio and Blaze. Hmmmm... And I know that 'cos I felt his hand move a second ago and that he's awake" the mumbled curse that came from Blaze made him smile before he attached his lips to Honeys.
