A Bullet Never Lies(Closed for Courage)

[raiguy]

Beau nodded, then looked at her. "How would you like me to make love to you? Would you like to be on top?" he asked, trying to figure out exactly what she wanted, so he could give her what it seemed like she needed.

He gently stroked her sides as he waited for an answer. Yes, he was going to make love to her, but he wanted to do it her way, not his way. He could always do his way later if she wanted. It was about her right now. As beau stopped to think about it, it surprised him how much that had changed. He wouldn't have been this way with her before this, yet now, she was all he cared about. He smiled inwardly, then waited for the answer he needed.

[heartofcourage]

Irene thought about what she’d asked for a moment. She shook her head at his question. When she was working a job that involved seduction, she was always on top. Her first time with a man had been a quick lay in the back of his car while she was on top. No, she didn’t want that.

“Just take me.” She said again, her mind so confused and fuzzy that she didn’t really know what to think. She wanted Beau. She wanted to…love him, even. That very thought scared her immensely. If she got attached to him, she wouldn’t be able to get away when it came time to part.

[raiguy]

Beau could see the turmoil in Irene's eyes, so quickly rolled her onto her back, his cock raging hard. He wasted little time in thrusting firmly into her, her pussy slick with their cum. They groaned in unison as he filled her, pushing deeply before he methodically starting thrusting in and out, taking his time, kissing her and caressing her, showing her these newfound feelings he had for her.

As he kissed her softly, passionately, his fingers slid along her sides, gently caressing her skin, leaving a hot trail along her skin, before he held her face as he kissed her. Without thinking, he broke the kiss and looked into her eyes before whispering, "I love you."

[heartofcourage]

Irene let out a whimper as he rolled her onto her back and quickly mounted her. He thrust deep into her wet flesh, her pussy stretching around him again in a familiar way. It felt so good to be filled by him. She let out a groan as she heard him do the same, his hips pushing in and out of her passage with a simple thrusting motion. It was unhurried, exploratory, wonderful.

They kissed, their lips clinging to one another as he caressed her sides, her breasts, her belly until she was shivering and issuing the sounds of her pleasure. She whimpered, moaned, cried out when he did something she particularly liked. Then his hands were cupping her cheeks, pulling her face until she looked at him and he kissed her passionately.

Then he broke the kiss and his words came out in a whisper. She quickly raised a hand and pressed them to his lips, silencing him and shaking her head. “Don’t say that.” She said softly, her voice a whisper. “Please don’t say that.”

[raiguy]

Beau understood what she was saying, so clamped his mouth to hers and kissed her passionately. He wanted her happy, and that was what he was going to do. He quickly found his rhythm with her body, matching thrusts with her. He knew he could last for a lot longer now, and smiled. He was going to make her feel as wonderful as possible.

He slid his hand down her stomach, feeling the muscles tense, then spasm from the light caresses of his hand. Ever so lightly, he started to rub her clit, taking his time and lazily making small circles. He knew what she liked now, so started to gently pinch and rub her clit a little bit faster as his thrusts got faster. He looked down at her and could tell she was close.

"Let go and enjoy it. I've still got plenty, and want you completely satisfied and happy," he said, smiling. He leaned down and nipped he ear, hearing her moan loudly and tense up. "Cum for me," he whispered, his breath blowing against her ear, sending her over the edge, as he kept his thrusts nice and steady.

[heartofcourage]

Irene moaned as Beau’s mouth suddenly clamped over hers, his kiss both passionate and searing. She clung to him as he found a rhythm that had them both whimpering and moaning in pleasure. She thrust her hips up towards his, matching him stroke for stroke.

He smiled down at her, his hands sliding over her belly as she clenched it tightly, sighing at the gentle touch of his fingers on her skin. His fingers continued to travel until he was rubbing her clit, lazy circles making her squirm and whine in pleasure. When he started to pinch and rub her clit faster and firmer, she gasped, her lips parting until he kissed her mindlessly again.

He wanted her to cum. She wanted to cum. It seemed like a beautiful partnership, she thought to herself as he leaned down and nipped her ear. She gasped and moaned, tightening around him as his breath blew against her ear and sent her over the edge. She arched against him, her pussy clamping and massaging his thrusting cock as she shook and shivered.

“Beau!” She whimpered, her eyes locked on his to let him see the emotions that were coursing through her body at that very moment.

[raiguy]

Beau groaned, feeling her clamp down on him as he thrust into her a little harder. He was trying to hold back, to give her pleasure, but knew he wouldn't be able to control it as he kept his eyes locked on hers before thrusting into her hard, groaning as he filled her with his cum again. He was surprised at how long he came, after just having cum before.

As they both came down again, Beau rolled over Irene onto his back, trying to catch his breath, knowing she needed to catch her as well. He didn't want to push her either. He had seen the conflicting emotions, and didn't want to make her do something they'd regret. He laid there, thinking things over, giving her the space she'd need to figure things out.

Beau tried to not fall asleep, but after that intense session of lovemaking, he was emotionally and physically exhausted. He couldn't believe how strongly he felt for Irene, after having knowing her for a few weeks at most. He shook his head again, then tried to relax, knowing things would work out, before he felt a poke on his ribs. He looked over at Irene, waiting.

[heartofcourage]

Irene gasped loudly and then moaned as she felt Beau cum deep inside of her, his seed coating her passage as he thrust into her. She shivered, panting as they soothed one another and he rolled off the top of her. She turned her head and looked at him, still trying to figure out what the hell had just happened.

It was obvious that Beau had feelings for her that were very deep. He’d even told her that he loved her but she wasn’t sure that she could really believe that. Men would say sweet things during sex and then stab her in the back when it was all said and done. She didn’t know what side of the fence Beau fell on.

He was falling asleep beside her and she poked him in the ribs, his head turning to look at her, waiting for whatever she wanted to say.

“Go and check the cabin before you go to sleep. Make sure it’s safe.” She said softly, her accent thick with an unnamed emotion. “And maybe a painkiller. My shoulder is aching.”

[raiguy]

Beau smiled and nodded, going to the bathroom to return with a glass of water and some pills. "Here you go sweetheart," he said, then scooped his jeans up, pulling them on. He looked at Irene, then smiled. "I know what I said, and I do mean it. I don't know when or how it happened, but I know how I feel, and I do love you," he said, slipping out of the room.

Beau grabbed his pistol, holstering it, as he stepped out of the cabin. He shook his head and then listened. He immediately knew something was wrong. It was too quiet. He pulled his weapon out and quietly made his way into the woods. Circling the cabin, he picked up the trail of someone moving about in the woods. As he started to follow it, he realized that it was a circular path leading towards the cabin.

Beau quickly slipped out of his shoes, then silently followed. He saw a dark shape, and tried to move. Unfortunately it wasn't quick enough, as he saw the flash of a gun, then felt a searing pain in his right side. He staggered to the side, bringing his gun up, firing instinctively. He heard the report of another round being fired, the pain a little bit higher now. He slid around a tree, then finally locked onto the assailant. He fired three quick shots, watching the man drop to the ground.

Beau felt more pain as his adrenaline wore off. He looked down, seeing two bullet wounds. As he felt around, he realized they were just through and throughs, and had missed anything vital. One had hit through his right shoulder, and the other his right side. He grimaced as he tried to move his right arm, feeling it stiffening up. He holstered his pistol and limped to the door. Somehow he barely made it, opening the door before sinking to the ground with a loud thump.

[heartofcourage]

Irene took the pills and thanked him softly, downing both the pill and the water in a single swallow. She sighed and snuggled back down into the pillows and blankets, ready for a good sleep after what they had just done. She felt strangely satisfied, her body still humming, but there was another unknown emotion growing in her chest. She shivered as he told her that he really did mean what he said and he loved her before he slipped out of the room.

Irene was just drifting off when she hear the sharp sounds of gunfight. Her bleary eyes opened and she was quick out of bed, pulling on her clothes and hurrying out of the room. She needed to find her weapon, she thought to herself as she made her way to the kitchen, her mind whirring through the haze of the drugs.

She almost tripped over Beau’s body on the way. He was wounded, blood blooming on his right side and she glanced around to see if there were anyone else around. If they were being attacked, chances were the person who was coming after them wasn’t alone.

“Anymore?” She asked in a breathless tone, her voice a scant whisper as she waited for the words that they were alone again.

[raiguy]

Beau picked himself up slowly, not realizing he had fallen. He looked at Irene and shook his head before heading back to the bathroom. He pulled the first-aid kit down, and then tried to open it. He realized that he still couldn't use his right arm. "Shit," he muttered under his breath, before standing up.

He walked, or more accurately limped, into the room, then sat down in front of Irene. He slid the first-aid kit across to her and then fixed his eyes on hers. "Can you please help me," he said, realizing it was the first time he had asked anyone to help him. He realized that he couldn't bandage his wounds all that well, and was hoping she would be able to help.

[heartofcourage]

Irene watched as he grabbed the first aid kit and she heard him ask for help. She took the kit and got to work, cleaning the wounds and patching him up as best as she could. She was quiet all the while, her eyes flicking towards his every so often to gage his pain.

When she was finished, she quietly packed everything up and then turned around and slapped him hard across the face. “Don’t you dare ever do that again. Going out there by yourself, are you insane?” She yelled, her anger clouding the fear that was pooling in her belly when she thought about losing Beau.

[raiguy]

The slap surprised Beau, but he couldn't help but smile stupidly at her. He saw the anger, but he also saw fear. The smile was quickly wiped away as he stoop up and hugged her, holding her close. Even though the pain in his shoulder went up sharply, he held her close, letting her know he was here and wouldn't be leaving.

"I'm sorry for that. I promise it won't happen again. I won't leave you here," he said, stroking Irene's hair and rubbing her back softly as he felt her grab him and hold him tightly. It felt like he was the only think holding her together right now, and he was going to let her hold him however and for as long as she needed him.

[heartofcourage]

Irene gasped as she was pulled into Beau’s arms and held tight. She sighed deeply and melted against his warm body, unsure as to what he was thinking and hoping that he wasn’t too upset that she’d just slapped him. After all, he was still armed and might turn on her in a moment’s notice.

But he was soothing her. That was strange, she thought to herself as he rubbed her back and hair, whispering into her ear that he wasn’t going to leave her. She wrapped her arms around his waist and held him tightly, trusting his words that he wasn’t going to leave her and everything would be alright.

[raiguy]

Beau was having a hard time ignoring the pain, as well as struggling to stand upright. The adrenaline had caused him to lose a bit more blood than he realized, and he could feel himself getting a bit light-headed. He slowly let go of Irene, then sat down.

"Irene, I really need some help now. I don't know if I'm going to be conscious when you get through with this," Beau said as he slumped in the chair, teetering on consciousness. He tried to fight it, waiting for Irene to stop the bleeding and apply bandages, but for some reason, bits of the fog just wouldn't clear.

[heartofcourage]

Irene watched Beau with a clinical detachment. He was struggling to stand, in pain, riding on an adrenaline high, and losing blood. She nodded as he told her that he needed help. She moved to gather supplies, taking care of his wounds with care and skill. The bleeding was stopped and the wounds sealed. She watched him fade in and out of it as she worked and wondered if something more important hadn’t been hit in the fight.

“Doing alright?” She asked him as she finished up, looking at his pasty face. “Need anything? Something to drink?”

[raiguy]

"Blood loss....That's all," Beau said, knowing that nothing else was hit. Both were clean through and through, but had been open and bleeding long enough that he had lost a bit of blood. He smiled and then took Irene's hand and pulled her to the bedroom. He did it so that he had something to steady himself with, as well as wanting her comfort.

Beau pulled the covers down, then slid out of his pants before pulling Irene down to bed with him. He snuggled close to her before falling asleep almost instantly, feeling safe and happy next to the woman he realized he did indeed love.

[heartofcourage]

Irene took his words as gospel and nodded, helping him into the bedroom. She gasped as he slid into the bed and then pulled her behind him. She lay still as he snuggled close, her training keeping her from relaxing for a moment before she felt him fall asleep and a happy look crossed his face.

She watched him in his sleep, trying to figure out what he was doing. He was a strange man, she decided finally as she pulled the blanket over both of them and snuggled up against his warm body to sleep off her exhaustion.

[raiguy]

Beau felt Irene snuggle close to him as he drifted off to sleep. It left him feeling warm and happy inside. He tried not to show it, but it was what he wanted and needed at that time. He fell asleep with a smile, and then had very pleasant dreams involving Irene and himself.

Beau slowly woke up, feeling Irene's arms wrapped around him. He smiled and then gently laid his head back down. He was going to enjoy this feeling for as long as he could. He drifted back to sleep with a smile on his face, his hands laced through Irene's

[heartofcourage]

Irene sighed as she snuggled up against Beau as he drifted off to sleep. He was warm, he was smiling, it was strange she decided. She’d never had a man that actually liked her for who she was. She was a killer, one that was highly trained, no one really knew who the real Irene was. Truth was, the Irene that no one knew was deeply wounded and hurt from a life of pain.

She shook her head free of the foggy feelings that were filling her head and she sighed, wrapping her arm around Beau’s chest and felt herself drifting off to sleep. She fell to sleep quickly, a nagging feeling at the back of her skull that she was interested in silencing. She didn’t need it making her distracted.

[raiguy]

Beau felt Irene stirring and slowly came awake. He saw that it was still dark out, but a faint light had started to creep through the curtains, showing the moon was just starting to fall. He settled down and shifted around, until he was holding Irene against him, her head on his chest and her arms wrapped around him.

Beau smiled as she snuggled against him in her sleep. He gently stroked her hair, moving it out of her face. When she was asleep, she was even more beautiful. The pain and anger she tried to hide seemed to melt away, showing a beautiful woman that he was indeed in love with. He wondered what her feelings were for him, but decided that things would progress as they would. He wouldn't force her or anything of that nature, knowing it would drive a wedge between them.

Beau's main thoughts were to keep both of them alive, as well as together. He wanted them to have a future together, but figured life would see to things as they happened. He sighed contentedly and settled back down, his arms wrapped around Irene, feeling hers wrapped around him.

[heartofcourage]

Irene sighed softly as she felt Beau’s fingers against her cheek, brushing her hair away before she snuggled up against him further. She knew he was looking at her intently, but she stayed blissfully in the twilight. He could look all her wanted. It was harmless, but she knew that there was something within him that was becoming incredibly attracted to her.

If she was honest, there might have been something inside of her that felt something for him. She wasn’t ready to admit that yet, but there was most definitely something there. Maybe it was love. Maybe it was respect. She wasn’t quite sure.

When his arms folded back around her body, she sighed and let him pull her close. Her eyes opened then, looking up at him as he settled back down into the bed. “Beau?” She asked softly. “What does love feel like?”

[raiguy]

Beau was caught by surprise by the question. He took a second to think, then started speaking. "It's an all encompassing feeling. You feel the need to be close to that special someone. Hen you are with them, you feel safer and more happy than you though. You worry for them, and always have them on your mind. You just know how they are because your heart is in tune with them, Beau said softly.

He looked at Irene and smiled at her. He knew why she was asking. He wouldn't push her to develop any feelings for him. He would let things work themselves out, and his love would grow. That was all he could do so he didn't for sure loss her. He hoped that she would fall in love with him, but wanted her to find it for herself.

"Why do you ask?" He asked softly.

[heartofcourage]

She looked at him as he asked why she wanted to know. She parted her lips to answer him and she suddenly shut them tightly, unable to say the words that he probably wanted to hear. She shrugged her shoulders slightly, a smile appearing on his lips as he guessed why she had asked.

“No reason.” She said softly as she let her hands roam down his hard chest, trailing lightly over the bandages where he’d been shot. “I just wondered since you say that you love me.”

No one had ever felt that way about her before. In truth, she’d never felt that way about anyone either, but she could definitely see herself with Beau. She felt the need to be close to him. She felt safe when she was with him. She did feel that in time the rest would come.

She leaned forward and kissed Beau softly, sighing at the contact of their lips. It was gentle, exploring and said so much more than she could in that moment.

[raiguy]

Beau wrapped his arms around Irene. He held her close as they kissed softly. He understood what th kiss was tryin to say. He would take his time and let her figure out her feelings. In the meantime, h would try his best to keep her safe. He sighed back against her lips, his tongue running along her lips.

He gently guided his tongue between her lips. He was exploring. He wash tryin to let the kiss get heated. He wanted to be gentle. His tongue caressed her as he explored the contours of her mouth, learning the intimate details that made her mouth hers. One of his hands rose to the side of her face, cupping her face as he kissed.

He broke the kiss and laid his forehead against hers. "I love yu and will wait as long as you need," he breathed. He kissed her forehead, then pulled her in close, knowing she wanted that more than anything at the time. He smiled and opened his heart, giving it to her completely.
