The Badass Protector

COLT

MY BRAIN WAS midway to euphoric lust, and thankfully, I still remembered to sheath my cock.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

I heard an opening and closing of the drawer while I was busy fumbling to unhook her bra. “You have time to wear a bra when I’m just gonna throw it to the floor.”

“I went to see Lois, and I can’t just walk around with my nipples hard poking against my shirt.”

I chucked and tossed her shirt and bra on the floor, and she rolled a condom down to my cock, then she took her shorts off. In a split second, Iris straddled me, burying my length inside her hot and slick pussy.

“Fuck!” It nearly sent me to the edge.

And she cried out.

“Are you okay?” My facial muscles were taut.

“Got a little excited.” She winced.

“Take your time to adjust.” I cupped her breasts and massaged them. “Lean in. I want to taste those sweet tits.”

She leaned down, offering it to me. I captured it with my mouth and sucked it. Hard.

She moaned and started rocking me in and out. I trailed my hands at her back. Goosebumps erupted on her skin while I continued sucking her tits alternately. I tugged her nipple between my teeth and lightly bit it.

“God!”

Tingles banked at the base of my spine, shooting right to my balls, and she clamped around me, building her own orgasm-to soar higher and higher.

“I’m right behind you, twig.” I gripped her sweet ass, lifted my hips to meet her rhythm, and thrust into her. Faster. Harder.

“Colton, I’m close.” Her chest was heaving. Her eyes were dark and wide as she bit her lip.

She was rocking me hard, grinding, and finding her release.

My thumb found her swollen clit, and she gasped in shock, shuddered, and slumped down against my chest in a matter of seconds.

I grunted and pushed deep into her, spurting my seed so powerful that I saw lights.

IRIS TURNED the page again, and that annoyed me. Her head rested on my arm. Our legs tangled together, and my free arm draped around her tiny naked body. She completely forgot my existence and was hooked on the book of Elizabeth Hand.

I read it, and I knew it was good. It was a story of a guy named James Cole who used a time machine to stop the virus from releasing.

“I need to go and see Gael.”

She closed the book and turned to face me. “Are we going somewhere?”

“Me, and if he asks me to.” I wore my jeans and a shirt, and she did the same.

“I need to change into jeans. I’ll see you at Gael’s.”

“You’re not coming with me if I need to go out for a run, Iris.” I put my boots on and slipped my knife.

“I want to have just like that, too.”

I lifted my head. “What do you want?”

“A knife.”

“You need to learn how to use it. This is not for peeling some apple, twig.” I smiled, pulling her into a hug. “I have to go. See you later, okay? Don’t forget to lock the door behind you. There’s a spare key inside the drawer and some protein bars. Help yourself, and use anything you want.” I kissed the top of her head.

“I’m serious, Colton.”

“I know.” I closed the door behind me, and for the first time in months, I left smiling.

Gael had a map spread on his desk when I got in.

“What do you have in mind?”

He lifted his gaze to me. “About time you showed up. I sent Templeton and Darick to get Iris’ seeds, and I’m running out of dose.”

“Why does nobody come knocking on my cabin? I could go with them.” I looked down at the map he was encircled in red-the locations where we already went for scavenging.

“They said you were busy.” He rubbed his chin.

“Busy?” My tone came out defensive.

“We have to go farther than these places. We need more gas, so I asked them to go, and it will take a day or two before we can come back.” He tapped the location where he was planning for the next run.

“We? You’re not coming with us, Gael.” I knew he was already in good shape, and the prosthetic helped him restore his normal gait, but it could kill him if he got another gunshot.

Dr. Hull found out he also had Type II diabetes and was dependent on Insulin.

“It’s not your call to make a decision, Colt.” His voice was gone firm.

“I’m sorry. I don’t mean it like that.”

“I won’t put you all at risk if I’m incapable of protecting myself. I may have lost my leg but did not lose my sight and hands.”

“Okay. So, where are we heading?”

“Greenebach.”

“West?”

“And Iris is coming with us.”

Shit! This is not going to be easy for me.

“Really?”

I half-turned to see Iris was already inside the office with a smile on her face. I locked my jaw to prevent overreacting in front of Gael. One thing I knew about him was not to question his decisions because I knew he’d been planning this all night.

My stomach recoiled, thinking of Iris coming with us.

“Sorry, the door is open. I’m here for Gael, but he seemed to have a plan for me already, so I’m in.” She was so in. I could feel the excitement in her voice, but she might change her mind once she knew where we were heading.

“I was about to tell Gael that you can go hunting with Frost. We’re taking Hamid and Darick with us instead.” I couldn’t put her life in danger. Not again. What if someone recognized her, took her with them, or put a bullet in her head?

The Greenebach was, indeed, a hostile territory, and I didn’t have any idea what was in there.

“She’s coming with us. That’s my final decision.” Gael stood up and holstered his gun. Of course, but we are talking about Iris, and I have a say over this.”We’re leaving in an hour. You two, gather your weapons and bring enough ammo and some food for us. This trip would last a day or two.”

“Gael, you know that place is near where she escaped, right? What if-”

“What? That territory is safe. People come in and out to trade every Friday. That’s why we will bring something we don’t need-to trade with food.”

I wasn’t entirely convinced about the safety of that place, and there was something that Gael was not telling me. I swallowed and looked down, feeling defeated.

“Where are we going?” Iris finally asked.

“Greenebach.” I watched her mouth gape.

But Iris managed to nod. “Okay.”

I moved closer to Iris and whispered, “If something happens to you out there, I’ll make sure to put a bullet in my head as well.” Grinding my teeth, I walked out of his office as heat flushed through my body with so much anger.

I wanted to scream and punch Gael at the same time, but instead, I kicked the bucket-water splashed all over the ground, sending it into the distance.
