Chapter 1: A New Quest Enormous, titan-bronze double doors loomed in the archway, some thirty feet high and ancient beyond understanding, the perfectly smooth surface free of tarnish or flaw since before the sundering. Ruby-red flames danced in the tall braziers to either side of the looming gateway, shedding no heat but casting the looming archway in a flickering, almost ominous, crimson light. The figure standing before these monolithic doors looked tiny by comparison. From the bottom of his hooves, each as wide as a human's handspan, to the highest points of his ivory horns, each spike jutting a foot from the sides of his head before hooking up sharply at the ends, the tauren was more than eight feet tall, perhaps nine if he straightened up as much as he could. His broad, square-shouldered frame strained against a crimson silk robe, perhaps a size too small, his thick, powerfully muscled arms pulling the fabric tight around them. His fur was coal-black fur, hardly a shade of variation from head to hoof, even in the mane running back over his hump. His face was rugged, with a short snout and a long black beard gathered into a single thick braid, the loose end tied off around a sturdy golden ring. Perhaps it might even have been handsome were it not for the half-dozen scars that distracted from the features beneath, dark gray lines where no fur would grow, including a long, thin line that split one eyebrow and continued on the cheek below. Beneath his thick brows peered a pair of startlingly brilliant sapphire eyes, made all the more intense by the dark fur around them. The tauren's gaze roamed up the doors for a long moment, hesitant. A smaller figure standing off to the side, an elf clad in similar crimson robes, turned to the tauren and gave a short, courteous bow. "I must leave you here. The queen wishes privacy for this meeting." He spoke, and before the tauren could respond, the elf had already spun on his heel and was striding off, back the way they'd come through the bronze halls of the temple. The tauren's gaze lingered on his retreating back for a moment before returning to the door. For a long moment, the room was silent but for the softly-fading echo of footsteps. Then the tauren set his jaw and stepped forward, planting one massive three-fingered hand on the door, and pushed. The looming gates swung with surprising ease, perfectly balanced on its hinges, opening wide enough for the tauren to step through, into the chamber. The chamber was practically a cathedral. It was a huge, round room, ringed in titan-bronze pillars some thirty feet tall, supporting a looming dome inlaid with glittering constellations of light. From the peak of the dome hung a massive mechanical chandelier, a massive glowing orb in the center, orbited by slow-moving colorful spheres. The chamber itself was impressive, but the additions truly brought it the appropriate grandeur. Thick, crimson banners were loosely wound around each pillar, and at the top of each, a dozen such banners blossomed in all directions, wide strips of thin red material that draped from each pillar to every other pillar in a weblike pattern, filtering the massive orb's light into something more gentle and richly red. Around the room there was a scattering of furniture, all of it beautiful and finely-crafted. A desk covered in paper, quills, and inkwells. A half-dozen bookshelves there, packed with books both ancient and new, and a collection of chairs positioned in front of them. A pair of paintings on the far wall, hung side by side, one depicting a massive, regal dragon, the other, a beautiful red-haired woman. Long, narrow planters, sprouting with tall red flowers, blossoms as big as a human's head. In the very center, the darkest place in the room, thanks to the crimson web of banners overhead, sat a huge, circular bed, tall wooden posts imitating those around the edge of the room, but on a smaller scale. An opaque, dark red canopy covered the top of the posts, thin red mesh curtains strung between them, parted and tied open. Between the door and the bed stood a figure, immediately recognizable, yet unfamiliar to the tauren. The Dragon Queen, Aspect of the Red Dragonflight, Alexstrasza the Life-Binder. Her human form was even more beautiful and regal than he had imagined. She resembled a human woman at first glance, though significantly taller than most, standing a solid six feet tall. She was wrapped tightly in a robe very much like his own, a soft, crimson silk garment that hugged her body, cinched at the waist by a slender silk belt. Her figure was enchanting, even through the robe, and he couldn't help but take note of how her generous hips tapered down to a slender, toned waist, or how the lightweight fabric hugged her proud, firm breasts. Despite her casual dress, her features seemed just as noble and bewitching as they did in any painting he'd ever seen, narrow and refined, with intense golden eyes, accented by an expert application of makeup, and full, naturally red lips. A long mane of brilliant ruby-red hair cascaded back and down, over her shoulders and down to the middle of her back. From that mane thrust four horns, the only obvious sign of her draconic nature, sweeping out and back with a gentle wave, the upper pair long, heavy, and thick, the lower pair much shorter. Apart from the robe, the only clothing she seemed to be wearing was her jewelry, bands of gold dangling with gems seated on her horns, a gem-studded band keeping her hair out of her face, and a necklace dangling with a purple stone as big as her fist The dragon queen seemed relaxed, but certainly not passive. As the tauren stepped through the gap in the doors, he could feel her gaze upon him, inspecting him, but giving no reaction, her expression mysterious. As soon as he was through the massive titan-bronze gate, the door swung itself shut behind him, sealing the chamber off once again. The sound seemed to stir him from his hesitance. He straightened up, proudly, and strode forward, swiftly sinking to one knee at the feet of the queen, head bowed low in deepest respect. "Your Highness, I am Rhuno Sunheart, a humble sunwalker, and I am honored to come before you in answer to your call." He spoke, his voice deep and rumbling, like distant thunder. "I have traveled day and night since I received your summons, battling through storms, undead, wild beasts, and my own fatigue, all to reach you with the greatest haste. It would be my honor to serve the needs of the Life-Binder in any way I can. Command me, Your Highness, and I shall serve." The dragon queen's expression remained unreadable, and she was silent for a moment, still inspecting the kneeling tauren with her eyes. "I greet you, Rhuno Sunheart, and I thank you for your haste. I have a quest of grave importance, a quest that requires immense strength. The fate of all dragonkind may rest upon it." She began, her voice firm, yet feminine. "Your commander in the argent crusade has told me much about you. He told me how you tore the skull off a fallen frost wyrm and hurled it more than twenty yards to crush a vargul threatening your teammate. He told me how you channeled holy power through a crack in a crypt lord's shell until it's flesh burned away, leaving just an empty husk. It seems clear you have both strength of the body and strength of magic. Both are important, but there is another kind of strength you will need for this quest, sunwalker. Strength of heart. Your commander tells me you have this strength as well. But before I can charge you with this quest, I must be absolutely certain of this, I must know that I can trust you completely with this." She explained, her expression serious, eyes still watching him intently, watching for his reactions. Rhuno glanced up momentarily as she finished, his mind whirring with uncertainty. He swallowed. "I... I pray I have the strength you seek, Your Highness." He offered simply. Alexstrasza gave a nod. "As do I, sunwalker." She replied, gravely. Then her expression softened slightly, and she laid a hand on his shoulder. "Rise, Rhuno." Rhuno looked confused for a moment, before he did as commanded, rising to his hooves. She gestured for him to follow as she turned, padding across the bronze floor toward her bookshelves. He followed, somewhat unsure of what to do with himself now that her demeanor had shifted. She settled into one of the comfortable seats and gestured him to another. "Please, sit. Relax." She offered, and the sunwalker hesitantly settled his heavy bulk into the seat. There was a moment of silence before the dragon queen let out a small sigh and began to speak. "Much better. Please relax, Rhuno." She encouraged. "It is not easy to see the strength of one's heart. One's motivation for a decision is often... fuzzy. Often even to the one making the decision. If I gave you a terrifying task, you might prove yourself brave... or overconfident. If I gave you an onerous task, you might prove yourself humble... or blindly loyal. If I gave you a dishonorable task to see you refuse it, you might prove yourself honorable... or rebellious. I find it is much easier to understand one's heart when they open it to another." She explained. "But one cannot truly open their heart to one who sits above them on a throne. So, for the moment, I urge you to relax, to speak freely. Speak to me as you would an equal. You may call me Alexstrasza, or Alex, if you prefer." She urged. Rhuno nodded, still somewhat uneasy. She was silent for another moment before she spoke. "When your name first reached me, I looked into you, your history, to see if you could be the hero I seek. My sources have heard many whispers about you, Rhuno. They say you came to Thunder Bluff with nothing but the clothes on your back, seeking training as a sunwalker. They say you refused, and still refuse, to have your scars healed. They say you showed skill and experience in battle far beyond the other trainees, even the watchers who joined the order. They say you requested assignment in Northrend, a post most would consider a punishment. They say they have never heard of the Sunwalker clan, that they can find no records of the clan, and no elders who remember it." "There are many theories about you whispered among the sunwalkers. Some say you were banished by some other clan, stripped of your name, and claim a false name, in defiance of tauren ways. Others say you use a false name to hide your identity while you spy upon the sunwalkers. Others believe you to be the last survivor of some long-forgotten lineage. Most don't truly care where you came from, and are simply glad to have you on their side. For the most part, I agree with them. Every record shows you are a credit to the crusade, and if they are to be believed, one of the finest sunwalkers I have ever met." She explained, then shook her head. "But if I am to trust the strength of your heart, I must know I can trust you entirely. This will be the test of your heart. Nothing you say will leave this chamber. Rhuno, I ask you: Who are you? Tell me your story. The truth of where you come from, and how you got the name Sunheart." She urged. Rhuno's had sunk deep into his seat as she spoke, slumping forward, sapphire eyes staring somewhere far, far away. A pregnant pause hung in the air as he tried to gather his thoughts. He briefly considered lying, but swiftly dismissed it. She would know he was lying, and even if she didn't, lying would only prove the strength of his heart, if not to her, then to himself. He didn't have much of a choice. He would simply have to pray she would understand. "I was born and raised among the Stonetalon Mountains." He began, recounting is his deep, rumbling voice. "It is an incredibly harsh land. The mountains rise as great, jagged peaks of red and orange rock, with steep, treacherous slopes. Much of the range is so rugged, so impenetrable, that even the most skilled climbers find it all but impossible to traverse. These reaches are often left to the monstrous creatures we share the land with, those that can climb or fly freely through the crags. Hippogryphs, wyverns, drakes, thunder lizards, monstrous spiders... Those not so mobile must walk the narrow passes and highland shelves that are flat enough to travel more freely." "Among the peaks, disasters are never more than a few steps away, and often much, much closer. Setting aside the monsters and beasts that are happy to feast upon an unwary traveler, or the ever-present worry of a missed step or a crumbling handhold, there are avalanches, flash floods, rockslides, and mudslides, all capable of wiping an entire village from the mountainside. The soil is either poor or washed away, and spring floods drown any crops one tries to plant, forcing the people to hunt constantly to survive. In addition to watching out for your own life against drakes, wyverns, spiders, cougars, and great eagles, you must out-hunt them, as well. Return empty-handed, and the people starve. It is the kind of land that breeds a certain harshness into its people." He looked almost wistful for a moment. "And yet... there is incredible beauty to be found among the peaks. From the summit of a mountain, you can see for miles in all directions. All around you, the earth mother's canvas is revealed, breathtaking shades of red, orange, and brown, lovingly sculpted into proud peaks, soaring cliffs, and rugged valleys. Look south, you can let your gaze roll across the green and gold seas of grass on the plains of Mulgore, even Thunder Bluff, rising proudly out of the valley. Look east, and watch the endless amber oceans of savannah grasses of the Barrens. On a clear day, you can see the herds of zhevra and the towering giraffes wading through the grass. Look north, and there stand the towering trees of Ashenvale, ancient trees, so tall they stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the mountains themselves, and in the distance almost out of sight, Mount Hyjal looms. Look west, and see the ocean, endless and vast, the sunlight glittering and shimmering off each wave." "They say from the summit of the highest peaks, the air is so still and quiet that if one can be truly silent they can hear the whispers of An'she and Mu'sha, the eyes of the earthmother. Perhaps most beautiful of all, with every single sunrise and every single sunset, the earth mother paints a symphony of color on the sky, every shade of blue, yellow, red, orange, purple, and pink, dancing and shifting until the sun sinks below the horizon." He shook his horns momentarily, clearing away the dreamy visions in his mind's eye to focus on his tale. "There... there are a few smaller clans that call Stonetalon home. But only one truly dominates the mountains. The Grimtotem. They have fully embraced the harshness of their land, and honed themselves into the most ruthless, aggressive clan among the Shu'halo. Along the way, they made themselves into a weapon of brutal, relentless violence, a weapon now wielded in treachery, wielded by the deception of their elder crone, Magatha Grimtotem. And Magatha is a dark-souled woman." "She believes the shu'halo are the only true heirs to Kalimdor, and her lies and deceptions have twisted the entire clan to serve her every word. She wields the clan with cruel efficiency, ordering attacks on any of the 'lesser races' that dare to settle upon Kalimdor. They strike with honorless tactics against any settlement within reach that dares to harbor 'lesser races' among them. Even the shu'halo are not safe, not if they allow other races to live among them, or try to oppose the Grimtotem. A Grimtotem attack is without mercy, and they kill everyone they can, even non-combatants and children. All of Stonetalon lives in fear of seeing the Grimtotem marching on them." He was gritting his teeth by this point, seething. "I was born with the name Rhuno Grimtotem. I was born as one of them, in one of their smaller villages. I was raised as one of them, trained to accept their twisted doctrine as absolute fact and to hate lesser races with insane fury. I was trained as one of them, learning to fight and kill for the glory of the clan. I even fought as one of them, serving loyally for years without question until I became one of the most respected fighters in the clan. I was a berserker, one of the strongest, throwing myself into battle against the enemies of my clan, in blind fury for their audacity to exist. I was... very effective. Each one of my scars was a badge of honor, earned in the heat of battle against the enemies of my clan. I would brag of my accomplishments, swap tales with the others, until I memorized the story for each and every scar." He confessed, hanging his head as his anger drained away, replaced by heavy guilt. "I remember the battle I saw what I was doing, what I really was. It was a night elf camp, in a small canyon. There were no significant defenses, so a quarter of the force remained in the pass, to cut off any possible escape. My squad was on the attack. The defenders were no trouble, and we broke through the line to assault the camp itself. No resistance. I took down one after another until I struck down an elven priestess and moved in for the kill. She threw up a hand, glowing with magic power, and I braced myself for impact. My blade struck true, and I was unharmed." "But when I opened my eyes, my rage and my justifications had all faded away, and I saw, for the first time, what was really happening around me. I didn't see lesser races exterminated for the good of the clan. I saw innocents being slaughtered like animals.I saw the cooling corpse of an innocent woman, her blood still on my blade. I saw my brothers doing Magatha's work, I saw the thrill in their eyes, the eagerness for the slaughter. And I knew that I had been one of them." "I tried everything to stop it. I tried to order them to stop, I tried to trick them into a retreat, I implored them to call it a victory and stop. I- I begged them to leave the children alive. When the last one fell, they cheered a job well done. That was when the rage came again, stronger than ever before, and the world turned red as I turned on my squad. I... I wish it was all a blur. They were monsters, I know that. But still... at the time, they were as close to me as brothers. They were all warriors nearly my equal, but I had the rage, and I had surprise. I cut down my second, Magatha's grandson, first. I was already swinging again while the rest turned. I remember the confusion on their faces as I took out another. Then confusion became fear, then anger... None but me left that canyon alive, and none left it unscathed." "I was gravely injured, a traitor to my clan, and in the midst of a moral crisis. No settlement in Stonetalon would treat a wounded Grimtotem, and the Grimtotem would hunt me for my crimes. I roamed the mountains, lost in every sense of the word, for two days. I barely managed to keep myself in one piece with bandages as I stumbled my way downhill, out to the east, onto the Barrens. This was just before the Cataclysm, so the trip was much easier then. I just wandered, barely able to think from the pain and regret. Eventually, I passed out from heat stroke. I still don't know how long I was laying there in the grass, but while I was unconscious, I was shown a vision." "I found myself floating in an endless black void. I floated alone, for what seemed an eternity. Then I saw a light. A tiny, distant point of unwavering light, like a star. The light grew stronger, until its brightness revealed it to be shining from the heart of a figure, the elven priestess I slew. Suddenly we were just a few feet apart, and she reached for me. As soon as we touched, her light went out, and she disappeared, but a light came to life at my own heart. Suddenly, I could see a thousand thousand other lights, the infinite space filled by endless points of light, each at the heart of another figure. They were of all different descriptions, every clan, every race, every species, every kind of sentient being. Some had weak, flickering heart-stars, others brilliant, almost-blinding ones. I marveled for a moment, before I felt something behind me, and I turned around." By the Horns Ch. 01 "There was some sort of... darkness. A shapeless, roiling, writhing mass, even darker than the void around it. It wasn't just lightless, it was... aggressively black, like negative light. I saw it lash out, and I saw a light go out, the figure absorbed into the darkness. I saw other figures all around it, blasting at the darkness with beams of light from their heart-stars. I looked to the blackness and I knew it had to be destroyed. I felt a heat grow in my chest, and a beam of light lanced out from my heart-star to strike the darkness. I did it again and again, and with each strike my star grew brighter, hotter, and I could feel its warm light permeating my body, passing through me and shining out in all directions. The darkness lashed out, striking at other attackers, then turned its attention to me, I could feel its focus more than I could see it. My heart-star was white-hot, burning like the sun, and my entire body was filled with its light. And as the darkness lunged for me, I charged, my entire body scintillating with golden light as I met the darkness with a mighty cash." He recalled, clenching his fist as he recalled the battle. He relaxed again, shaking his horns. "That was when I woke up. I was in crossroads, in a tent, naked but for fresh bandages, and guarded by two orc warriors. I expected to be executed, and was about to panic when a tauren priestess arrived and demanded to know why An'she would have her save a Grimtotem. I had no answer for her, but we talked for many days while she treated my wounds. I told her of my revelation, of my betrayal, and of my vision. After several days, she had softened somewhat, offering forgiveness and comfort. But I couldn't accept another's forgiveness, not without forgiving myself, and I was far from that. I was all but lost to despair, recounting all the horrible things I'd ever done, the stories behind each scar that I had once bragged about." "It took nearly a week of healing before she declared I was well enough to leave. Before I departed, she gave me three gifts. The first was purpose. She challenged me to earn my own forgiveness, if I could not accept it from another, to go forth and do so much good that it outweighed my sins. The second gift was direction. She told me of the sunwalkers, and told me she believed it was the will of An'she that I join them. The third was a name. She was not an elder, not allowed to bestow a clan name, but she told me the name Grimtotem would draw suspicion, or even violence. She declared me the first of the Sunheart clan, and that day I rode out toward Thunder Bluff." As he finished his tale, he straightened up in his seat. "You know the story after that. I arrived in Thunder Bluff, joined the Sunwalkers, and spent the last several years training with the Argent Crusade in Northrend. Then I received your summons. That's my story. That is where I come from, and how I came to the Sunheart name. That is how Rhuno Sunheart came to sit before you." He explained, then sighed. "It is... not a pretty tale. If you cannot trust a Grimtotem with your quest, I understand." He added, finally, hanging his head. Alexstrasza was silent for a moment, her shimmering golden eyes locked on his. Then she rose from her seat and strode over to him. Standing, she was about eye-level with the tauren. A small hand reached out, coming to rest upon one of the hulking warrior's broad shoulders before she spoke. "You're right. I cannot not trust this quest to a Grimtotem. But I can think of none more worthy of it than the Sunheart sitting before me." She said, warmly. Rhuno looked up, confused. The dragon queen continued. "A body cannot grow strong without physical challenges. Much the same, a heart cannot grow strong without moral struggles. That priestess did not change your heart. She merely cleared your eyes. You saw the truth and your heart faced a harrowing crisis of morals, and rose to the occasion. You turned your back on everything you ever knew, because you followed your heart. That takes conviction. And I believe An'she saw that conviction and rewarded it." She elaborated, smiling warmly. "Your good deeds earned you this audience, Rhuno. Now your good heart has earned you my quest." He relaxed visibly, tension draining from his body as he sat before her. "I... Thank you, Your Highness. I will prove your trust is not misplaced. You will not be disappointed." He promised, seeming much lighter with the weight of his guilt off his shoulders. The dragon queen's expression developed a tiny smirk. "I have high hopes for you." She replied, then shook her head slightly. "Now, I must tell you of your quest. The truth is, since the fall of Deathwing, we dragon aspects have lost our immortality, the endless power granted us by the titans. And while we may yet live for millennia, our eventual demise is now as certain as that of all mortals. Some of the others seek to return us to immortality." "Perhaps I lack their optimism, having so long been tied to the forces of life and death. I feel we must prepare the world to go on without us." She explained. "There is a problem that looms on the horizon, threatening all the dragonflights. It must be addressed before it comes to bear. You see, the dragonflights are closed circles. While dragons can mate with other races and other flights, the children will not be true dragons unless both parents are true dragons of the same flight. With the violence in recent years, our numbers are not enough to sustain themselves without degenerating into incest. The flights stand on the precipice of a long, spiraling descent into weakness and extinction." Rhuno nodded, slowly, but his expression was confused. "Forgive me, Your Highness, but how can I be of help in a matter such as this?" He asked. The dragon queen paused, pursing her lips, seeming to choose her words carefully. "The dragonflights require... new bloodlines. New dragons, powerful dragons, bearing bloodlines from outside the flights. Normally, this would be impossible, as any dragon mating outside the flight would only birth dragonkin, not true dragons. But while I lost a great deal of power when I lost my immortality, I still remain one of the most powerful life mages in Azeroth. I believe I have developed an enchantment that will allow outsiders to sire true dragons. This would allow dragons to take... consorts from any race. But the power to do so is not enough, on its own. The dragonflights are proud and resistant to change, and other races are often seen as weak and unfit to... consort. The dragonflights must be encouraged to change if there is to be a change. They must be shown the strength, power, and virtue of other races. They must be led into this new way of thinking by a figure they trust and obey." She explained. Rhuno still looked somewhat confused. Alexstrasza sighed, seeing no way to avoid saying it directly. "Rhuno, for the sake of the future strength of the dragonflights, your quest is to allow yourself to be enchanted, then to lay with me and sire a new generation of dragons." She laid out. Rhuno's eyes widened, and she quickly continued, to try and ease any possible concerns. "Please, don't be concerned. The enchantment is perfectly safe, and you won't be called upon to take responsibility. The children will be as royalty among the ruby dragonflight. If need be, all you need to do is lay back, close your eyes, and allow me to work." Rhuno still seemed hesitant. "It's not..." He began, then shook his head, as though trying to shake loose the thoughts. "Are you certain about choosing me?" The dragon queen smiled warmly. "You are strong in every way that matters, Rhuno. You are a great warrior, gifted with magic, and above all else, you have a good heart and a brave soul. Who better to sire the future of the dragonflights? I meant it when I said I could think of none more worthy of this quest than you." She assured him. Her smile tweaked slightly, becoming a coy smirk. "Besides. You did promise I would not be disappointed. I am eager to see you fulfil your promise." She added, pivoting on the ball of her foot and sashaying toward the bed in the center of the room, putting a little extra sway in her generous hips as she moved, the shimmering crimson silk robe swaying with her movements. The tauren's eyes fell upon those swaying hips and he suddenly saw her in a new light. She was still a queen, a figure of authority, but her beauty was no longer distant and idealized. She was a woman, a sexual creature with a fantastic figure and passions as strong as his own. She wanted sex, she wanted to be bred, and she wanted him. His eyes followed those hips as they rolled and swayed, and he found himself almost unconsciously following her and her hypnotic hips. As she reached the bed, she spun on her heel, a more playful sort of smile on her face as he came to a stop just a few feet away, his powerful frame looming over hers. Her smile never wavered as her hands came up to the silken sash holding her robe together. A few quick flicks of her wrist, and it slid off her like water, pooling around her feet, leaving her all but bare before his eyes. She was left in only a set of lacy red lingerie trimmed in gold, most of it transparent. The top accented a pair of firm, proud breasts, each orb big as a ripe grapefruit, the golden trim stopping just low enough to allow the very edge of a dusky red nipple peek out of the cups. The bottoms looks much like regular panties, though they rode high over her generous hips, but the lion's share of the material was a transparent, lacy red, the opaque material barely obscuring as much as a thong. She rolled her hips, striking a pose for a moment, letting his eyes consume the display before them, before stepping forward. Her hands came up to his waist, finding the sash. "It's hardly fair that I'm the only one exposed, is it?" She asked, teasingly. As his sash came apart, he tensed, bracing for her reaction as the robe began to open. The first thing it revealed was a heavy medallion, as broad as a human's handspan, hung around his neck on a slender chain. The center was a polished golden sun-disk, surrounded by a wide ring of polished, gleaming obsidian, broken by dozens of thin, straight rays of gold and silver shooting randomly from the sun-disk to the edges of the medallion. As the rest of the robe fell open, he couldn't help but notice the dragon queen's gaze flick down and linger for a moment upon the melon-sized package bulging out the front of his frostweave undershorts. Then it roamed up, and her eyes went wide. His face bore a handful of scars, but his body told a sordid tale about a life of violence. Dozens of scars tore across the landscape of rippling, powerful muscle that was his chest and abs. Some were ragged sets, from bestial claws, others were straight and neat, from the blades of more civilized implements, and some were star-like spots, piercing wounds from arrows and spears. As he shrugged the robe off entirely, leaving him exposed before her, her eyes followed the scars as they continued over his granite shoulders, and down both powerful, thickly-muscled arms, his forearms latticed with cris-crossing wounds. He was silent for a moment, his eyes cast aside. Ashamed. He flinched when one slender digit traced a long, rough scar near his waist. Then his eyes widened when she suddenly looped the fingers of her free hand into the golden loop on the end of his braided beard and tugged his chin around to face her. Before he could react, she pressed her lips to his, a tender, soothing kiss, that lasted for a few long seconds. When she finally broke it, she smiled. "You have a magnificent body, Rhuno. Never be ashamed of it." She chastised. The hand running over his scar slid down, hooking into his undershorts and gently but insistently pulling them down. Her eyes snapped down to get her first good look at the weapon that emerged. The monster that flopped free defied her expectations. Even flaccid as it was, the beast was more than a foot long. It hung like a fat sausage nearly down to his knee, thick as her wrist, and surprisingly pink, a slight tuft of longer fur around the base of the hairless package. His heavy balls were the size of oranges, twin orbs churning out gallons of thick bull-spunk as they hung in a dark gray, smooth-skinned sack. The dragon queen purred as the meaty spheres were revealed, she could feel the overwhelming life energy of his monstrous, swaying seed-sack, even at this distance. "It's... huge..." She muttered,almost under her breath. He shifted, stepping out of the undershorts, his fearsome girth giving a slight twitch, and she realized she was staring. She smiled as she looked to the tauren. "Well, it seems now I'm the one overdressed..." She smirked, her slender limbs reaching behind her back. There was a pinch, a tug, and a flick, and her lacy bra came loose. She held the cups in place coyly as she slipped her arms out of the straps, before finally letting them fall away to reveal her breasts in all their glory. They swayed softly with her breaths, supple warm brown slopes rising to meet perfectly dusky red nipples, hardened with arousal, the sensitive buds thrusting proudly from the peaks. The bottoms came next, and she swiveled as her thumbs hooked into her waistband, presenting her plump rear as her hips rolled hypnotically, walking the waist down an inch at a time. Finally they rounded the edge of her plump, juicy rear and slid down her smooth, soft thighs. She smirked over her shoulder and spun, kicking the bottoms off as she sat on the edge of the big bed, legs parting just enough to reveal the perfectly pink folds peeking out as her outer lips parted, and the neatly-trimmed scarlet arrowhead of her pubes pointing the way to her slit. She glanced up to his face, gauging his reaction to her display, but movement further down drew her eyes. They widened slightly as they fell upon the tauren's cock, eye level with her as she sat on the bed before the standing tauren. His face might not show much of a response, but his shaft certainly did. The sight of her and the feel of her gaze had stirred the slumbering serpent. The beefy bull-cock swelled with each thundering heartbeat, growing longer, thicker, thick veins popping out as they fed more and more blood to the titanic slab of meat. A foot and a half long now, and as big around as her fist, the beast grew and grew, rising slowly, the love-muscle struggling to lift its own immense weight as it bobbed, level with the ground. Alexstrasza swallowed at the sight, taking in the immense, intimidating, exhilarating size of her hand-picked mate. Just how big would this beast grow? And would she be able to handle it when it reached its full potential? She pushed the doubt from her mind, reaffirming her convictions. No need to dwell on that. She would face the challenge when the time came, and she would overcome it. In the meantime, she needed him hard. Her hands rose, reaching for the beefy slab before her, hesitating as the beast gave a particularly forceful throb, her hands just inches away. When her delicate fingers finally alighted upon the monstrous shaft, a shiver rolled up and down her spine. It was huge. Even both hands together left so much of it untouched. But what really made her shiver was the pure vitality she sensed. It was so... alive. She could feel his warmth, his pulse... She could see the life energy filling it with every passing second. She'd seen it before, with other consorts, but in this form, this scale at this distance, it was overwhelming, awe-inspiring. She gently bit at her lower lip as her hand began to move, stroking up and down the monstrous phallus. She cast her gaze up to meet his eyes as she spoke. "You are gifted in many ways, it seems. I've never seen a cock this massive on a mortal. And so... virile! I can feel your life energy, rolling over me like waves, cresting with each beat of your heart... It's incredible!" She purred. It seemed that was enough for him to hear. His veins bulged with a flood of blood, the tendons at the root of his cock grinding as they heaved the meaty monolith up to its full size. Two feet of beefy tauren meat, big around as a man's arm, with a gentle arc to its length, capped with a flared, red-purple cockhead. It loomed over the dragon queen, a towering monolith of lust, shining bright with raw, potent life energy. A cock like this could breed her with clutch after clutch... The dragon queen shook her head, dispelling the images that swam through her mind. He was ready now, she had to focus on the enchantment. She closed her eyes, calling forth that familiar life magic from deep within her, channeling it to her hands. Her hands glowed faintly green as the unfocused life magic poured off them, permeating his flesh as they caressed every inch of his monstrous cock, delicate touches roaming south to fondle his heavy, churning balls. Her hand pulled away as the light off her hands coalesced into ten emerald points of light, one on each fingertip. Guided by the dragon queen's mind, they floated free of her hands, floating in choreographed formations to encircle his package, trailing strands of green light. they danced and spiraled until his shaft and balls were wrapped in a cocoon of emerald light. She leaned forward, eyes still closed as she softly pressed her lips to the cocoon, and breathed the fires of life. Her burning breath filling the cocoon like a balloon until tongues of flame escaped through gaps in the strands. Rhuno winced at the sudden heat, almost painfully hot for a moment before he got used to it. The cocoon held for a moment, containing the inferno, before dissipating into a thousand motes of light, the flames guttering out, leaving only his looming, pulsing shaft, looking the same as ever. The dragon queen bit her lip at the sight before her. His cock overflowed with life energy, the excess radiating off his member in all directions, seemingly without end. She could feel it on her skin, like laying out in a sunbeam, a gentle, all-over warmth, but the kind of heat that made her body flush, her nipples harden. She reached out for it, and gasped as her fingers met his skin. His cock had been warm before, but now, it was hot to the touch, not painful, but deep, relaxing heat. Her fingers curled around the beastly girth, and she shivered, feeling the warmth radiating into her, penetrating and permeating her body, relaxing and soothing even as it aroused. She leaned forward, almost subconsciously, and pressed her lips to the head, planting a tender kiss upon the smooth knob. Her lips sizzled with lust at the touch of his cock. A soft moan escaped her throat, unbidden, and she pressed forward, lips parting slightly as they engulfed more of the smooth, hard, hot head. Her tongue darted forward, flicking over the knob as her lips spread around it. Her lips parted wider and wider, effortlessly, as her eyes closed, her mind focused on the sensations, the flavor, the unexpected pleasure. As queen, she only rarely serviced lovers like this, usually being on the receiving end of such attentions, but something about this monstrous cock made her crave it, made her hunger for it's flavor, to feel it in her mouth. Of course, it was far too big to fit entirely, but she could still suck and slurp at the monstrous head. At least, it had seemed too big until the moment she felt her lips pop around the ridge of his cockhead. Her eyes snapped open, and she looked up to see a very impressed tauren staring down at her. Her mind raced. She shouldn't have been able to do that at all, let alone so easily she didn't even notice she was doing it. Smaller consorts had made her jaws ache just taking them in. And yet, she felt no pain, no strain, no aching, no tearing... Her mouth felt perfectly relaxed, the only sensations an oddly satisfying stretching sensation and a warm fullness... If her lips weren't stretched around a cockhead as big as a fist, she would have grinned. She was more clever than she'd thought. The enchantment didn't just make him fertile with any partner. It made him able to mate with any partner! His sheer size would have made that impossible, so the enchantment relaxed and opened any woman it came in contact with. It actually made them adapt to his size. Perhaps it was an interaction with his own magic that caused it, perhaps it was just an unexpected side-effect. Whatever it was, it opened an endless array of possibilities. By the Horns Ch. 01 At that moment, a thought occurred to her: how far would the effect go? The idea swiftly consumed her every thought. How far would it go? How far could it go? How far could SHE go? She looked up to the tauren, a mischievous glimmer in her eyes. Only one way to find out.She pushed herself forward, thrusting her head further onto the monstrous shaft. His sheer girth crushed her tongue against the bottom of her mouth as she drove her lips down it, and stuffed her cheeks, but her teeth never touched its length. The intense heat of the monster let her feel exactly how far it went, how full her mouth really was. She could feel the blunt crown nose against the entrance to her throat. She never even felt the urge to gag as it pushed through the resistance and into her throat. She swallowed down the beefy rod, inch by inch, each ring of muscle offering only token resistance before it yielded to the invader. She pushed forward, further and further as her muscular throat rolled and milked around his girth, bulging out impossibly. There was still no pain, just that delicious, soothing heat and an unfamiliar, arousing fullness. She only paused a moment when her lips met her fingers, still wrapped around his shaft, just long enough for her hands to move out of the way, grabbing hold of his hips to pull herself down onto the last few inches, her nose crushed against his powerful as she finished devouring every last inch of his two-foot sausage, his balls heavy and hot against her chin. The tauren let out a long, deep, rumbling groan of pleasure from deep inside his chest. Just moments ago, he'd been amazed she'd managed to fit his entire head into her mouth. It had seemed an impossible task for the human-sized woman. Then he'd found himself staring as she smoothly gulped down inch after inch of his member, before impaling herself all the way to the hilt on his cock. This was beyond his wildest dreams. Not even tauren women could handle every last inch. The sensations were beyond description. Her tight-stretched lips, her soft cheeks, her talented, writhing tongue, the rippling muscles of her throat as she swallowed on his length... It was heavenly. And he wanted more. He couldn't help himself as his coal-black hands came down to her head. Thick, calloused digits wrapped around her horns like handlebars, and his powerful arms flexed. He saw the queen's eyes widen as he pushed her back off about a foot of cock, leaving a glistening sheen of spit behind, then flexed his arms again as his hips bucked forward. He fucked his mighty shaft into her lips to the hilt once more, balls smacking on her chin, and her throat vibrated around him. He couldn't tell if she was moaning or objecting, and he couldn't bring himself to stop, either way. He was almost in a trance, after years of celibacy in the crusade, he was finally having sex again, and with a woman as beautiful and talented as Alexstrasza. The sunwalker's grip tightened on the dragon queen's horns as he pumped his hips faster and faster, relentlessly face-fucking her soft, dusky pink lips. Each thrust drageed more than a foot of bullcock from her skillful lips, his heaving, churning, orange-sized cum-canisters swinging pendulously to smack against her chin with each thrust. He grunted and groaned with each powerful thrust, his abs rippling, arms pumping as he fucked into her welcoming mouth. Each thrust made her throat roll, pulling him in welcomingly, then grip tight as his fat crown dragged on the walls, as though it couldn't bear to see him leave. The cycle was only punctuated by the delicious, unfamiliar sensation of her throat vibrating as she groaned around his girth. His lust was taking over, a burning heat that needed release welling in his core with each passing second. He rutted like an animal into her mouth, thrusting his drool-slick throbbing monster deep into her throat, glistening strands of spit linking her lips to his heaving balls with each thrust. The white-hot pressure in his core could no longer be contained. He drove his hips forward, pulling her horns until her nose ground into his hip-bone, and let loose a roar of deep, primal power. His entire body tensed up, freezing into an ebon statue of granite-hard muscle. The dragon queen's eyes widened as the tauren's beefy balls pulled tight against her chin, pulsing and throbbing hotly. His cock swelled even larger, burning hotter as it seated itself deep in her throat. Gallons of white-hot seed flooded up from his churning balls, boiling up the length of his iron shaft. He could feel it as it coursed through the bulging cum-tube pinning her tongue down. He could feel it forcing her throat to open even wider before it finally blasted from the head like a cannon, pouring directly into her stomach. Her throat vibrated around his girth as she groaned, eyes rolling slightly skyward. The first blast alone was more cum than a normal man could manufacture in a week, and his weapon fired again, and again, and again, pumping her stomach full of thick, hot, creamy seed. Her throat spasmed, swallowing, milking every drop of seed from his length into her belly. As the last shots tapered off to the soothing afterglow, he relaxed. Then he felt a pinch on his thigh. He glanced down, and realized he was still hilted in the trembling dragon queen's mouth. Panic gripped him as he suddenly scrambled to remove himself from her throat, dragging his hips back and pulling his still-iron-hard shaft from her plump lips. As soon as the head popped from her throat, she sucked in a deep, desperate breath through her nose. The cock pulled from her lips with a wet pop, the drool soaked shaft glistening in the light, tiny shimmering strands linking the crown to her lips for a moment, before they snapped. He expected to be excommunicated, or banished, or have his head bitten off, either figuratively or literally, but the dragon queen made no move but to gasp for breath and gather her composure. As her golden eyes fell upon him, expression unreadable, he braced himself for the worst. She spoke after a moment of silence. "Firstly, you've got to let a lady breathe when you've got that beast in her throat! A little roughness is all well and good, but I nearly passed out on that thing." She chided, her expression turning to a sultry grin. "Secondly, that's the first time I've ever cum with my throat." She added, licking her lips. "Thirdly... well, I was going to be angry with you for wasting your seed in my mouth, but it seems you're still ready to go." She smirked, eyeing the throbbing shaft jutting proudly from his hips, every bit as full of energy as he had been when they started. "Besides... I have to admit, your cum feels incredible inside me. You practically filled my stomach! So thick, and hot... Maybe next time I'll have you cum so I can taste it properly." She smirked, her hand running over her slightly-swollen belly, stuffed with creamy cum. She paused, grinning up to her tauren lover, one hand coming up to wrap around his fat, throbbing, spit-slick cock, as much as she could with one hand, just behind the head of his monster. She slid back onto the bed smirking, leading him by the cock into the middle of the sea of crimson silk sheets, until she was laying on her back and his enormous bulk hovered over her, his immense weight making the limbs supporting him sink deep into the mattress. "Still... You do have a quest to accomplish, don't you?" She purred, lustily, legs parting as her hand steered his knob between her thighs. Her slit glistened with arousal and desire, a ruby-red arrowhead of fuzz just above it guiding his gaze toward her needy pussy. Rhuno swallowed, looking down toward the tender pink slit just inches from his cock. The dragon queen was giving him an invitation only a fool would refuse. The sight of her tender pussy made him throb with need, but the size of his own rod made him hesitate. It looked impossible. But if Alexstrasza was confident, he wouldn't question her wisdom. He wouldn't lose control again. His square bulk shifted over her, completely eclipsing the light overhead as her tender hand guided his shaft true, until the monstrous knob kissed her needy, glistening outer lips. She gave a tiny moan at the sensation of his hot cockhead on her slit, making her pussy light up with desire. It had been impressive on her lips, but here, it felt like her slit was melting under the heat. When the tauren glanced to her, she swallowed and gave him a tiny nod. Then he began to push, slowly, gently, but with undeniable force. She could feel his hot knob pushing into her millimeter by millimeter, nosing her open around his throbbing cockhead. His intentions might have been good, but all he succeeded in doing was torturously teasing her, spreading her wider than should have been possible, wide enough that her clit ground against the ridge of his crown as he pushed into her. His heat was making her melt all the way to the back, her depths begging for his big fat cock to plow into her like a freight train and fuck every inch of her. She moaned plaintively, needing more, bucking her hips suddenly to engulf the fat crown of his shaft. She looked up to the tauren and purred as sensually as she could. "I'm not made of glass. I can take it. Come on, big guy, fuck me hard! Give me all of it!" She challenged. Rhuno was not one to disappoint. He pulled in a deep breath, his broad chest expanding as his massive three-fingered hands balled into fists in the sheets and his hooves sought purchase. When the found it, he huffed the breath out like a charging bull and slammed forward, ramming a foot and a half of thick, brutish bull-cock into her depths. Her needy pussy spasmed around the sudden invasion, any resistance it might have offered long-since melted away beneath the heat of his red-hot rod. The dragon queen let out a long, rolling moan as her body opened before him, his brutish mega-cock striking every pleasure center in her pussy at once, making it spasm and grip tight around his length with each new inch. With only six inches of cock left outside her, he was suddenly given pause, some barrier deep within her holding fast against his monstrous knob. Alexstrasza shivered and moaned at the sensation of the bull grinding into the gates of her womb. She had to wonder if her barrier would be able to stand up against the mystic heat and the monstrous strength of the tauren ravaging her pussy, and, perhaps more telling, if she really wanted it to. Rhuno seemed intent on finding out. He dragged a foot of bull-cock from her hungry depths, his wide, flared knob tugging at her sensitive spots on the way out. then with a mighty thrust, he slammed every last inch back in, making the dragon queen moan once again as he drove into her spasming pussy until he could go no farther. He paused only briefly, grinding his cockhead against her barrier for a long moment. Then he did it all over again. And again. And again. And again and again and again. Soon he was fucking her in earnest, pulling back quickly, slamming in deep, and grinding at her walls, repeating faster and faster with each stroke until he was relentlessly pounding out a punishing rhythm in her most sacred depths. Alexstrasza was moaning and screaming constantly under this unrelenting assault. Pleasure assaulted her mind with every thrust, a familiar tension building deep inside her as each thrust made her body catch fire with lust. She trembled as he battered at the walls of her sacred depths, his mystic heat soaking into the barrier with each grind. As frightening and unfamiliar as it was, the thought of this tauren breaking down her final line of defense, pounding deeper than any man ever before, all the way into her most fertile depths, then finally drowning her eggs in his virile seed... It was starting to make her hope he won out. The tension built faster and faster as her mind swam with visions of being bred deep in her womb by this superior alpha male, building until she teetered on the precipice of another orgasm. Suddenly, the tauren shifted, grabbing one of her legs behind the knee and pushing it up until it nearly touched her chest, rolling her hips forward as he pushed forward himself until his hips were directly over hers. The dragon queen's eyes went wide with anticipation as the stud pile-drived his monstrous member straight down, hammering on the gates of her womb. Alexstrasza's voice cut out in shock as she felt the barrier tremble under the assault, then finally yield to the invading cock. The tension inside her burst, and she came, harder than she'd ever cum before, wailing and spasming around him as he claimed her depths, slamming through the barrier to plunge into her fertile womb. Rhuno let loose a deep groan of pleasure at the sensation of taking the dragon queen's womb, her barrier gripping around him like a vise as her stuffed the final six inches of hot, thick bull-cock into her, filling her depths until the fat knob made a visible bulge in her belly. He planted himself to the hilt, his churning cum-factories resting on her ass, heavy with a deluge of potent seed just aching to be released where it would do the most good. Alexstrasza's hungry pussy spasmed as she came around his red-hot shaft, milking him for the virile offering soon to flood her inner sanctum. The heat of his shaft radiated all through her womb, so hot it almost hurt for a second before it soothed, and she gasped as she felt her ovaries spasm as the heat reached them. She managed to crane her neck to look down, eyes wide as she saw not a normal clutch of four, or even a double clutch of eight, but an almost unprecedented twelve eggs release, each one glimmering to her life-sense like a tiny, flickering, ruby-red star inside her. Rhuno wasn't finished just driving himself into her womb. He could feel the white-hot need building deep in his core once again, and it needed release. With his cockhead firmly planted in her innermost sanctum, he released her leg to get a more stable position, and began to jackhammer his cock into her womb, short, fast, deep strokes that bumped against the back of her womb as his hips smacked into hers over and over, monstrous balls slapping against her rear. Her pussy gripped and spasmed around him, squeezing tight as she milked his girth. His muscles pumped like a machine as he slammed his length into her again and again, ravaging her depths with his red-hot shaft as her legs spasmed and twitched mid-orgasm to subconsciously wrap themselves around the tauren's waist. He groaned as the need for release grew and grew, burning deep in his core until he could no longer contain it. With a deep, rumbling roar, the mighty sunwalker could hold back no longer, and dropped his hips hard, hilting himself in the dragon queen with a note of finality, his heaving, orange-sized balls pulling tight against his shaft. His seed boiled up from deep within him and surged forth, blasting up the length of his cock as it swelled even larger inside her gripping, spasming pussy. Her cries peaked in yet another orgasm as his spunk rocketed from the tip of his monstrous member to explode in fireworks of heat and pleasure against the back wall of her fertile womb. White-hot seed fountained into her depths, flooding Alexstrasza's innermost sanctum with liquid lust in a single copious cumshot. The fearsome weapon was nowhere near finished, however, and it fired again and again and again, dumping more than a gallon of thick, virile baby-batter into her womb like liquid fire. Her body spasmed wildly, gripping and milking his member for everly last drop, while her mind was busy moaning out her pleasure to the high, domed ceiling above. It seemed to take an eternity, but eventually, the final spurts of Rhuno's epic creampie tapered off to a gentle dribble of thick seed, and Alexstrasza descended from the pinnacle of pleasure to be left panting for breath and glistening with sweat. The two partners found themselves wrapped in the warm, pleasant blanket of afterglow, joined at the hips, neither quite ready for their union to be over. Rhuno sank from his hands to his elbows for a measure of respite. The dragon queen reached up, wrapping her arms around the tauren's thick neck, and craned her head forward, planting a kiss upon his lips, a gentle, tender moment to seal their frenzied, forceful sex. They kissed for a long moment before their lips parted, and she smiled. "You were magnificent, Rhuno. Of all the mortals I've ever laid with, you are by far the greatest lover. Nobody has ever reached my womb like that. I've never cum like that before." She told him, dreamily. She lifted her head, looking down to the impressive bulge left by his massive load, savoring the sensation of his hot, potent spunk inside her. "Mmmm..." She purred, a satisfied smile on her face. "I can see it happening already. All that thick, virile seed filling me up makes it a little hard to tell, but I can still see it. I can see my eggs, like tiny little flickering stars suddenly lighting up bright and strong. Six... ooh, Nine! And Ten... Eleven... Twelve! Ohhh, Rhuno, you've done better than I could have ever hoped." She practically glowed, gazing deep into his eyes. Her eyes suddenly went wide and she let out a small gasp. Then her lips curled into a playful grin as she looked up to her new mate. "Well, well, seems somebody's not quite satisfied..." She purred, rolling her hips around the granite-hard monolith still planted to the hilt in her cum-filled womb. "You've already completed your quest... So this one's just for fun." She smirked, biting her lip playfully as Rhuno grinned down at her. By the Horns Ch. 02 So as i read through comments and remarks I can only bow my head to those who dug this story.

Trevor had come home that night and surprisingly he cuddled with her and the next morning they had a good time. She set the lipstick down and went to her dresser. Inside she found her lingerie collection had grown significantly. Selecting a black lacy bra she walked back with it and some black panties. She put the bra on and admired her dark skin in the black. As she titled her head in a cute manner the memories flooded her eyes. Over the next three weeks Nadine watched Mike and his family move the last bits of their lives into the house. Trevor and her had somehow seemed to find a middle ground dealing with him working long hours and leaving her alone. For a while he was becoming a nicer, more approachable person. He even took time with her in the bedroom more often. As they had found a new balance in their lives it seemed Nadine and him had moved forwards with their plans in life. Nadine took the assistant manager position at another office. It was a bit further away, but the benefits were well worth it. As her life was getting better she saw a strange thing going on at Mike's home one day. It was at the beginning of the second month of him living there she saw a strange van outside the house. It said something of a locksmith and security company. As she watched the men from her window she saw they had a heavy door on a dolly. They wheeled it into the house and were in there for several hours. A few hours after the men went in she saw them exit with Mike following them and they shook hands. He signed a document on the man's clipboard and was handed a copy of whatever he signed. The men were leaving and Mike seemed to look up and see her watching them. He waived to her and she actually waved back. Mike saw it and walked back into the house. The van drove off and she went back to cooking dinner. Tonight she was making a nice pasta with vodka sauce tossed with peas and prosciutto. She had a nice light garlic bread toasting in the oven and as she was setting the table her phone rang. "Hello," she answered. "Hey I got a rush order and won't be home til late tonight," Trevor explained. "Fine, I'll save you a plate," she sighed into the phone. "Sorry Nadine, this is for the big new client we have," he explained. "Alright baby, see you tomorrow," she said and hung up. Nadine blew out a sharp breath and was upset. She had made a very complicated dinner and now it seemed he was going back to his old ways again. Three weeks of being nice and he was back to having to work all night again. She picked up the plates and set them back in the cupboard. As she was about to put the pasta away she looked out and saw Mike and family walking out. She saw that they got into the SUV and he didn't. Melina got in the driver's seat and after a short talk she watched them drive away. Mike walked back to his house and shut the door. She saw that, looked to all she had made and an idea came to her mind. Quickly she made Trevor's plate, lidded it, and put it away. After she was done she put the rest into a large dish and covered it. She got out the bread and put it into another large container and lidded that as well. Smiling she got it all in her arms and took it out the front door. Nadine walked across the street and towards Mike's house. A part of her screamed at her for doing this, but he had her over for dinner when he moved in, at least she could return the favor. Taking a breath she knocked on the front door and hoped she wouldn't be acting silly. The sound of the door knocking made the dogs bark and run towards the door. She heard the dogs behind the door and they were not barking anymore, but she heard them jumping at the door and sniffing loudly. "Zurückkommen!" Mike commanded and the dogs parted the sea. Mike laughed at the dogs as they all had their tails wagging and Thor was whimpering a bit. He opened the door and Thor and Fenris rushed by him. Nadine saw the dogs and she squeaked as they mobbed her. Thor jumped up and put his paws on her chest and he was whimpering he was so excited to see her again. His tongue lashed out and hit her across the cheek. Nadine laughed at the attention, but Mike shook his head. He grabbed Fenris by the collar and yanked him back in. "Thor!" he said sharply and Thor dropped to the floor and sat in front of her. His tail was wagging happily, but he didn't jump again. Nadine laughed and shuffled the bowls so she could pet his head. When she did his ears fell back and he licked her hand a few times. Mike chuckled at that and was actually taken back. He had never seen Thor take to someone so quickly before. A strange notion passed before his mind, but he held in check. "I think you have a new BFF, " Mike joked. "I guess so," Nadine said as she leaned down and kissed Thor on the beak. Thor licked his chops and his tail wagged happily as she did that. He looked up at her and panted happily as she looked up to Mike. She held up the bowls and Mike nodded his head. "Dinner?" she offered. "Works for me, come on in," he offered and stepped aside so she could walk in. "I made too much and Trevor has to work late tonight, so I figure you fed me when you moved in I could return the favor," she explained. "You didn't need to, but thanks," Mike said as he held the dogs in check. He snapped his fingers and pointed outside. The dogs heard it and rushed outside without issue. Mike walked to the backdoor and closed it leaving the dogs outside. "Give me a second," he asked and walked to the back of the hall. Nadine saw the counter and set the bowls down. She looked around the house and saw how much it had filled out. The living room was filled with the furniture she had seen before as well as the nice entertainment center as well as the biggest flat screen TV she had ever seen. Hooked to it was a Bluray player and Xbox 360. She looked in the kitchen to see it had all the appliances a kitchen would need along with a few she had never seen before. Along the wall she saw a cabinet filled with wines and other forms of liquor. She looked at the window and saw it had an herb garden on it. The fresh smell of the herbs was a very refreshing touch as she walked to it. Parsley, thyme, basil, all was there plus a few others. She smelled it and the scent filled her nostrils. She wondered about making one in her kitchen. As she pondered it she heard Mike coming back. "So what's on tap?" he asked. "Pasta in vodka sauce, with garlic bread," she offered. "Nice! Want a salad to go with?" he offered. "Um, sure," she replied thinking the salad would go well. Mike came back into the kitchen and opened the fridge. The inside was a new one that she had seen commercials on that offered a lot of places to put things to make more room. She saw the vegetable drawer and was impressed by the amount of things inside. Mike pulled out some various greens and in a few seconds tossed together a good light salad. He went to the cupboard and got out some spices and oil and vinegar. He made a quick vinaigrette and tossed the salad in it. In less than two minutes they had a fresh salad and were walking to the table with two plates and silverware. Mike set the table for her and as she was setting the dishes with the pasta on the table he retreated to the kitchen one last time. A few seconds later he returned with a pitcher of tea and two glasses. Nadine sat down as he poured a glass for her and smiled as he took a seat across from her. "You know my cookout was a way of saying hi to everyone here," Mike said as he poured a glass for himself. "I know, but I made too much and it looked like you were going to be alone tonight. I figured to be a nice neighbor and return the favor," she said and her smile as she explained it was a friendly one. "Fair enough, cheers," he said and toasted her with the tea. They clinked glasses and set about dishing up. Mike was amazed at how good the meal looked and as they dug into it he looked at her and smirked. "Sure beats take out Chinese any day," he said and got a mouthful. They ate the meal and it was very well done. Nadine was actually surprised how well the dish had turned out. She enjoyed it with the salad and the sticks also made her feel good about her culinary skill. Mike ate the meal and he was taken back by how good it was. The way the sauce and peas melded together made him rethink a normal reservation he had about peas in general. As they ate Mike kept to himself as they enjoyed the silence, but soon he looked up and saw the time. "Oh," Mike said suddenly. "Hmm?" Nadine asked looking up. "Can we take this to the living room? I had something coming on I really wanted to check out," he asked. "Um...sure," she replied and they gathered their plates and the tea. They walked to the living room and settled down on his couch and Mike turned on the TV. He went to his menu and pulled up the show he was looking for. Nadine sat wide eyed as he pulled up the recent UFC fights. "Hope you don't mind, but I been waiting to watch this for a week now," Mike said hoping the fights wouldn't be too much for her. "No, it's fine," Nadine said as they sat and ate. The fights were a brutal affair as a few fights ended in decision, but more ended in a submission or a knockout of sorts. While it was a bit much for her, Nadine actually relaxed and ate her meal as Mike was very animated during the fights. They watched and Nadine noticed Mike was, in reality, really enjoying the spectacle before him. As one particularly brutal fight ended to a nasty take down and submission, Mike was hooting and cheering it on. Nadine noticed something else about how he was acting, it was like he knew the moves well. Acting on a hunch she decided to find out. "You know how to do this stuff Mike?" she asked remembering he was in the SEALs. "Oh yeah," Mike said emphatically. "They taught you this as well?" she asked. "Some, yeah. But most of my skills I learned on my own or in training with our allies," Mike explained. He took a sip of his tea and went on, "We trained with the Israelis a few times and they taught us their form of martial arts called Krav Maga," he said as he poured her another glass. Nadine sipped her new drink and her eyes asked more questions. Mike saw the look and decided to elaborate a bit. "My unit trained with a lot of friendly nations to help us learn new and useful techniques for bettering our mission capabilities," Mike explained. "Wow, so you've been to Israel?" she asked. "Yeah, went there for about six weeks to train with their commandos," he replied and sipped his tea. "How was it?" she asked. "Where we were it wasn't too bad. We were in the Haifa region, so we got to go to the beach a lot," he said recalling some good times. "Wow," Nadine said softly. Nadine had always wanted to go abroad when she was younger. The thought of going to new places and seeing new things always intrigued her. Now she had someone who could likely tell her a lot about the places she would like to have went. As she looked at her food she wondered if she ever would go to a new place. As she pondered that she noted Mike had gotten up and went to the kitchen. She looked down at her plate and wasn't hungry anymore so she picked up her plate and followed. They washed their dishes and as they did Mike took note of her mood. Something was eating at her and that made him feel an instinct in him to help. He set the dishes down and put away the leftovers she offered him and when they were done he got a sly grin on his face. "Hey, follow me, I want to show you something," he said and walked towards the hallway. "Um, OK," Nadine said unsure of where this was going. They walked down the hall to the middle of it and as they got to the location she saw the door was not what she expected. It was the same door she saw being delivered earlier. As she walked up Mike turned to her and his expression was serious. "Could you look away for a second? I have to enter the pass code," he explained. "Oh, sorry," she replied and turned her back. She heard the keypad being punched and soon she heard a buzz and the door opened. "Sorry, this is my personal office and I have a lot of private stuff in here," he explained. "Oh, then should I even go in then?" Nadine asked and was taken back by how generous he was being. "Yeah, just please don't touch anything other than what I give you," he said in a serious tone. "OK," she replied. Walking into his office was something Nadine was half expecting, but at the same time it blew her mind all she saw in it. On the left hand wall she saw a large, full wall cabinet that held a variety of awards and personal effects. Most of the awards were from Mike's time in the navy, but a few were awards his children had won. On the far side of it she saw something that made her eyes get wide. In a glass case that had a raised key punch was a set of pistols and a few fully tricked out assault rifles. She had no idea what they were, but they looked high tech and something she would have seen on the news or in the movies. On the right side of the room was a series of tables and chairs. It was like a meeting area where two or three people would meet to talk in privacy. The center of the room was a large desk with computer and several drawers. Behind the desk was a large wall unit that had a TV and on the left hand side a large safe. The right hand side had two large file cabinets. Nadine was impressed by how nice it seemed and how spacious it was for such a small room. The one thing she did notice was aside from the door, there was no other way into the room. It had no windows and only the air vent for circulation. In front of the desk was two chairs and he pointed for her to sit at the left one. As she sat he pulled it for her. She smiled at him and as she sat he went to the large wall cabinet. He pulled open a few of the drawers and retrieved a large book. He walked back to the desk, sat in the chair next to her, and opened the book. Inside Nadine saw it was an old photo album. As he flipped through the pages he got a playful grin and handed her a photo. Nadine took the photo and could tell it was old. She looked at it and her face screwed up in confusion. On the picture was a group of thirteen men all in military uniforms and field equipment. They all had weapons and looked like they were ready for war. The thing that confused her was that all the men had their faces blotted out. As she looked at the picture Mike had a grin on his face. "Umm, are you in this?" she asked. "Yup," he replied nonchalantly. Nadine looked at the picture, then to him, then to the picture again, and her head twitched and Mike started to laugh. Nadine gave him a pout and Mike got it under control. He pointed at the third person in the left hand side of the picture and she looked close at it. While she couldn't tell exactly, she had no other choice than to take his word for it. "Due to the secrecy involved in our missions we weren't allowed to have our faces shown," Mike explained. Nadine nodded and he took the picture back. "So do you still talk to any of them?" she asked. "Yeah, but not all of them," he said somberly. "Not all of them?" she questioned. "Three of them are no longer with us," he said softly and took out a new picture. Nadine looked to him in a softer light as he handed her a new picture. This one actually made her look at him in an impressed light. It was him wearing his full dress uniform with medals. She saw the same insignia on the left breast side of the uniform that was tattooed on his chest. She noted how proud he looked in the picture and he had a pleased look on his face as he saw it. As she studied it he handed her a series of other pictures showing him in various places around the world. A few were him and his military buddies making fools of themselves. He had a tale for each of them if she asked and Nadine was really impressed by most of them. Other tales had her open mouthed and ready to call him a moron for how dumb he and his friends were. "So now you know a few places I went to, now it's your turn," he said as he put the pictures back. "Well, I've only been to New York and here," she said in an embarrassed tone. "What? Oh come on! Surely you've gone to a few other places," he chuckled. "Well I did go to college in Modesto," she said trying to find a place she had been. "Hm, well that's a decent list believe it or not. I know of a lot of people that have never been to the east coast that live here," he said and patted her back. Nadine gave him a laugh and that was what he was looking for. As they were about to have a further conversation his phone rang. Mike looked down at it and saw it was his son. "Hello?" he answered. He stood there for a moment as he listened to his son talking and he raised an index finger to Nadine for a moment. "Yeah buddy. No that's fine, that's fine. Just let him know that you have to be back by Monday afternoon at the latest. OK then. Have fun buddy, you too, bye," he said. "Who was that?" Nadine asked. "Oh it was Tony, my oldest," Mike said and Nadine nodded. "Oh the older boy with the brown hair?' she asked. "Yup, the one indeed. He's fourteen," Mike explained. "Wow, how old are you Mike?" she asked. "I'll be thirty nine in September," Mike answered. "Wow! I thought you weren't that old," Nadine said thinking he was maybe thirty. "What? You're saying I'm old?" Mike teased. "NO!" she squeaked and Mike laughed at her new found embarrassment. Mike chuckled at that. He saw that even though she had dark skin, she was quite capable of blushing. Mike eased off and switched gears to not make her uncomfortable. "So I have to walk the dogs, want to help?" he asked. Nadine jumped at the opportunity to leave the embarrassing scene and was waiting by the door. Mike chuckled as she waited not knowing that you only needed a pass code to get in. He sat for a second and when she turned towards him in confusion he pointed to the knob. She turned it and as it opened the blush came back to her face. Mike chuckled and got to his feet. They walked to the backdoor and as Mike opened it the dogs rushed inside. Thor was happy to see Nadine and this time he just plopped his body into her legs and wagged his tail happily. Geri and Fenris went over to Mike and sat down expectingly. Mike walked to the side of the kitchen and opened a container. Thor heard the container open and even though he was growing fond of Nadine he heard his treat jar opening. The dogs all whimpered happily and moaned waiting for their treats as Mike got out a few. He looked to Nadine and winked as he held the treats out for the dogs to see. "Warten," he commanded and the dogs obeyed. Mike gently set the treat on the tips of all three noses then sat back. He waited for a long few seconds and so did the dogs. Nadine was amazed at how well behaved they were and when he snapped his fingers they all let the treat fall off and snatched it from mid air. The dogs munched away at their treats and Mike grinned. He patted all three on the heads extolling their good behavior in German and after a light hearted minute they went to the living room. Mike took out three leashes and clipped them on the dogs collars. He also grabbed a large broom handle dustpan and shovel. By the Horns Ch. 02 [pre-story] Hey there, squish here, with the continuation of Rhuno's adventures across Azeroth! The story, and the chapter, chosen by my faithful patrons! This installment takes our hero to a remote corner of The Blasted Lands. This one's takes off a little slow, I really wanted to get some character development in there, and it ended up taking more space than I thought it would. Hopefully, it was worth it in the end! Let me know what you think! Disclaimer: All characters are 18 or older. Content Warnings: Huge cocks, excessive cum, impregnation, cumflation, and furries.[/pre-story] Chapter 2: A Hero's Reward Tonight, like every night in recent memory, a tense quiet hung over the Howling Drunk Inn. The few patrons, a selection of the town's old, infirm, and cowardly, sat in humbled silence, nursing mugs of porter as the night dragged on interminably. Donna Berrymore, the innkeeper, stood behind the bar, mechanically re-washing the unused mugs. She was a mature woman, with warm tan skin, raven-black hair, and a glare that could send even the most ornery drunk cringing out the door. The young barmaid, Becca, was the only one moving, pacing around the room, clearing away empty mugs, impatiently seeking something, anything to do to keep herself busy. Becca was a petite, slender thing, just barely more than five feet tall. She had a cute, mousy sort of look to her, with soft features dotted with a handful of freckles, a cute little button nose, and large, chestnut-brown eyes. Jaw-length brown hair was tucked hurriedly out of the way behind her ears, a few stray locks curling forward to brush against her cheeks. Her uniform was typical of her job, an ankle-length brown dress that hung loosely off her admittedly average hips, a laced leather bodice that cinched her already slim waist even tighter, and a frilly top with a neckline that bared her shoulders and the modest cleavage of her firm, orange-sized breasts. She was practically the ideal barmaid, attractive in that girl-next-door way, but not distractingly eye-catching. She almost seemed to blend into the background when you weren't looking. Becca was reaching for old man Jensen's empty mug when she realized he'd perked up in his seat, tilting his head toward the window, listening to something. One by one, the other patrons followed suit, brows furrowing in confusion, and then Becca heard it too. It was quiet and indistinct at first, but it grew louder and closer by the second, resolving into something the town hadn't heard in a quite a while. Singing. Raucous, off-key, out-of-tune singing. A dozen rough voices rolling over one-another as they sang with a kind of carefree joy that hadn't been heard in Surwich for months. The sound alone was immensely refreshing, even if it was terrible. The song grew louder and louder, until the front door of the inn suddenly burst open. The militia poured into the inn, perhaps a dozen men and women, some human, some worgen, all exhausted and clad in mis-matched, rusty, dented armor smeared with mud and black, green, and crimson blood. But every single one of them was grinning triumphantly through the filth, even those bearing hastily-bandaged wounds, and they sang loud and proud. A man with a ratty top hat broke from the crowd lingering by the door, stepping forward, his hard beard split by an irrepressible grin. "Donna!" He called. "Ready a room an' open a tab, an' put it all on the mayor's dime! The Hero of Surwich drinks free tonight!" He half-shouted, half-laughed. The group behind him cheered, pausing in their singing just long enough to turn and usher an unseen figure forward. The militia parted as a mountainous, shadowy figure suddenly filled the doorframe, so big it had to duck through, its horns scraping at the wood as it passed the threshold. When it straightened up again on the other side, it loomed over the crowd around it, easily eight feet tall, its square shoulders as broad as three men standing shoulder to shoulder. As it stood there on iron-shod hooves, long, pointed horns crowning its head, it looked almost like a demon. But there the similarities ended. The figure was covered head to toe in gleaming silvery armor, thick plates of metal trimmed with turquoise-studded gold. The thing's chestplate, gauntlets, and pauldrons all bore the same motif, a large golden sun-disk in the center, radiating thin rays of gold all the way out to the edges. On its back, it carried a massive circular shield, an inch-thick wall emblazoned with the same sun-disk, large enough for a man to stand behind it and be completely hidden. On its waist hung a wrist-thick scepter of silver inlaid with gold, crowned with a sphere of gold as big as a man's head, a mighty mace. The figure shifted, its expression hidden beneath a silvery helm, and reached up with gauntleted hands. After a moment's fumbling with the clasp, the helmet's lower half swung free, and with one hand, the figure lifted the rest up and forward, revealing its face. Rhuno's coal-black brow furrowed slightly as her cast his gaze around the tavern, startlingly blue eyes assessing the situation, before settling on the innkeeper and offering her a respectful nod. Donna didn't even acknowledge the look, turning to Devin with a sour expression, crossing her arms as her eyes narrowed. "A tauren? You brought a tauren into town, into my inn, and you want me to serve him drinks on the mayor's tab?" she demanded, shaking her head. "You must have gotten your bell rung pretty bloody hard if you think this is a good plan." Devin shook his head, his smile never faltering. "If Archimonde 'imself 'ad done what this bloke did, I'd be buyin' 'im drinks just the same." he replied. "You shoulda seen it. There was a bloody army comin' outta the fog. Musta' been a hundred treants, with as many demons on top, an' a dozen of those 'shroom giants to boot. They were comin' on fast, an' I was ready to kiss my arse goodbye. Then there was a flash, bright as the sun, lit up the whole forest like a bolt a' lightin'. An' there 'e was..." As Devin launched into his tale, the militia poured into the bar proper, filling up seats and ushering the guest of honor to take a seat by the fire. None of them noticed Becca, staring wide-eyed at the tauren as she clutched her serving tray to her chest like a shield. --- "Now, I didn't remember any of that! So when I woke up with the protodrake licking my face, all I knew was that I was hanging upside down by the hooves, that I had a headache that could have killed a kodo, and that I was wearing nothing but a wooly rhino pelt and smeared with what I could only HOPE was mud! Killit was laughing so hard she nearly fell out of the saddle!" Rhuno recounted, laughing and gesturing wildly, the last of the porter in his mug sloshing as it swung through the air. Devin was doubled over the table, laughing so hard his eyes watered, clutching his stomach with one hand and pounding the tabletop with the other. Becca tittered quietly, a hand over her mouth. "THAT'S why I don't drink Sulfuron Slammers anymore, ESPECIALLY not with trolls." Rhuno added definitively, grinning as he raised his mug to his lips and drained it entirely. As time and drink had flowed, Rhuno's armor had come away piece by piece, both literally and figuratively. The armored, serious, stoic warrior from hours ago now wore nothing but his under-armor as he casually shared tales of his travels with those militia members still conscious. Shimmering, lightweight frostweave, a brilliant shade of royal blue, was his only protection, the material hanging loosely over thick slabs of muscle as he drank and and chatted. His armor and weapons lay in a pile in the corner of the room behind him, his tossed aside along with his caution. Devin shook his head as he managed to straighten up, gasping for breath and wiping the corners of his eyes as his laughter slowly tapered off to the occasional chortle. "Oh, light, that's a hell of a tale! I think that one deserves another drink!" He grinned, raising a hand and looking toward the bar. "Donna! Another mug for the hero! This one's on me! Donna eyes the table for a moment, before casting her gaze around the room to survey the scene. Half the militia had already passed out, and the rest were getting quite close. "Alright, but this is last call, you lot!" She announced, firmly. A few moments later, a fresh mug was in front of Rhuno, Becca silently fading back out of the way. Rhuno smiled, glancing up, his eyes meeting hers for just a moment and giving her a nod of gratitude before turning back to the table. Her cheeks flushed as she lingered nearby, close enough to listen in. Devin shook his head again, still chuckling. "Well, I s'pose that's my cue." he commented, planting his hands on the table and pushing himself to his feet. "I best stumble home before tonight becomes another story." he grinned, nudging one of the unconscious warriors beside him. A murmur of agreement rolled through the remainder of the militia and some of the other patrons. After offering some final gratitude to the hero of the night, they collectively staggered out the door, carrying their fallen brethren out into the night on unsteady legs. Before Rhuno was even finished with his mug, the inn was all but empty. He sighed, swirling the last of the porter around the mug before knocking it back. It just wasn't as good without company. "Um... Sir?" Came a small, feminine voice. Rhuno glanced over, eyes settling once again on the petite human girl that had been serving his drinks all night. Becca's gaze shifted side to side, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of her serving tray as she held it in front of her. "The- the bar is closed after last call... But, if- if you'd like, I could, um, get you something to eat. If you're hungry, I mean." She managed to offer, even as she wilted under his gaze, her feet carrying her backward in short, mincing steps. Rhuno shook his head. "Oh, that's not necessary, no need to wake the cook for me, I've got provisions..." Becca's expression lit up as she stepped forward once again. "Oh, no, I can do it! I help in the kitchen all the time, it's no trouble at all!" she explained. Her cheeks suddenly flushed as her own boldness sank in, and she began to mince backwards again, averting her gaze. "I mean, um, if you wanted... It- it's the least I could do... to, you know... thank you..." she finally managed, the serving tray coming up like a shield again. Rhuno smirked at the shy human girl for a moment before nodding. "Alright, then, if it's no trouble, I'd love something to eat." he replied. Becca's face lit up with a smile, but held up a hand before she could do anything. "But! Only if you do two things first." he warned, and Becca looked nervous. "First. You've gotta stop calling me 'sir'." he said, smirking. "And second, You've got to make yourself something too. I'm sure you're hungry by now, and I'd feel terribly awkward eating all alone." He finished. Becca's smile returned full-force, and she turned on her heel and darted off the the kitchen, passing behind the bar. Donna glanced after her barmaid as she passed, then turned her gaze to the tauren, brow furrowing for a moment. Rhuno could feel her gaze on him, and it made his fur stand on end. But then, without a word, the older woman sighed softly, putting up the last of the mugs and heading up the stairs to her room, leaving Rhuno alone in the main room as Becca bustled about the kitchen preparing a meal for two, humming quietly to herself. --- "I... I had no idea..." Becca slumped in her seat, eyes downcast. "I'm sorry..." "Don't be." Rhuno replied, shaking his horns. Firelight cast his face in flickering orange light and deep shadow, pools of darkness emphasizing his scars. "I still am... I'm sorry it happened to you. I'm sorry I ever brought it up..." Becca returned, her eyes never rising from the table. "I've never even heard of the Grimtotem..." Rhuno sighed. "It's a tauren matter. Others don't see clans, just tauren. Which is why they're so dangerous..." Becca shook her head. "It's not that. I've never heard of anything you talk about. Northrend, sunwalkers, dragons... My family never left Gilneas until the cataclysm. The rest of the world was always just... places on a map. Nothing to worry about. Then we came here. I thought things would be different outside the wall, but the world's still just... places on a map. We're out of the way here, nobody comes through Surwich on the way to someplace else. We're isolated. Occasionally an adventurer will come fight the demons, but they never stay long before they move on to the portal... We fish by day, hide by night, and just.. survive. Nothing happens. Nothing changes..." She sighed. There was a moment of silence as Becca stared down at the glass of water in her hands. "...I wish I could be like you." she finally whispered. Rhuno blinked. "Me?" Becca nodded. "I wish I could just... go. Leave this behind, see the world, go on adventures, make stories of my own... Nothing's keeping me here, not really. It's not like my parents would kill me if I tried to leave, or I could never come back afterward..." she explained, then shook her head. "...But I still can't. I'm... just too afraid. It's a big world, and it's full of great big dangerous things... And I'm just... me. I'm small, I'm weak, and even thinking about it makes my heart race... I'm a coward. How could I ever fight a real monster?" she asked, eyes tearing up, then gave a derisive laugh. "I can't even manage to kill the rats in the cellar..." Rhuno was quiet for a second. "I'm afraid too." he replied. Becca looked up at him. "When you're up to your neck in ghouls and they just keep coming, of course you're going to be afraid. Fear's good. Fear tells you something's dangerous, and gives you the speed to run or the strength to fight." he elaborated, leaning forward to put his elbows on the table. "The hard part is being afraid and doing something anyways. The way I see it, there's always going to be problems standing between you and what you want. They might be monsters, or people, or bigger things. And you're going to have to deal with them, no matter what you do. We all do. But we don't all do it the same way." Rhuno shook his head, straightening up. "Me, I take my problems head-on, because I know I can take the hits as they come. Of course, I tend to get hurt a lot along the way, but I survive. But you're not me. You're different. And you have to deal with your problems your way. It sounds like you're the type to consider all the possible angles before you make a move. And that's great, that lets you make the right move at the right time. But you have to make the move. Part of you wants to, from the sound of it. But you're holding yourself back of some reason. Whatever it is, you've gotta let go, let yourself do what needs to be done. You have to act, and act decisively." "I... I don't think I can..." Becca muttered, biting her lip Rhuno leaned forward again, gesturing for her to look him in the eyes. "If any advice I give you sticks, let it be this: You always have a choice. Always. You can't control much in this world, but you control YOU. You make all the decisions. You can choose to do nothing. You can choose to obey others. You can choose bad ideas. But they're your choices, and you have the power to make a new decision, every second of every day. And if you're not happy with your life, not really, truly happy... then you've got a choice to make." he finished, letting the statement hang in the air. There was silence for a moment, the soft crackle of the fireplace the only sound in the room. Rhuno's intense sapphire eyes held Becca's gaze as she chewed her lip. "...Decisive..." She muttered under her breath, just barely loud enough to be heard. Suddenly she moved, rising out of her seat and reaching forward, hands coming up to cup the tauren's jaw and raise it up as she leaned in, suddenly kissing him with every ounce of determination in her small, trembling body. Becca's lips, puckered as hard as she could, crushed against Rhuno's, her eyes squeezed shut as she held his chin, her entire body trembling with barely-suppressed panic, unsure of where to go from here. Rhuno blinked twice in surprise, then he smirked against her lips. He reached forward, a massive, calloused hand gently cradling her head, guiding her as he took the reigns. His lips pressed to hers, warmly, tenderly, the tension melting out of her body as they kissed. The kiss lasted for what seemed an eternity, and only when he pulled his lips from hers did she realize her lungs were burning for air. She gasped for breath and Rhuno gave her a warm, comforting smile and pulled away, rising to his hooves and stepping out from the table. It was her turn to blink in surprise when he extended a coal-black hand to her, palm up. Slowly, hesitantly, Becca placed her hand on Rhuno's palm. The calloused hand closed around hers slender digits, and he tugged, pulling her in. She stumbled forward in surprise, only to strike against an unyielding wall of warm, granite-hard muscle. One hand came down, wrapping around her waist and pulling her in tight, lifting her off her feet, her supple body flattened against his muscular chest. Her heart was thundering in her chest as he smiled down at her, then craned his neck down, kissing her again. Her eyes drifted closed as their lips locked, his thick, muscular tongue gently yet insistently probing her lips. She let it in, and it swiftly pushed inside, coiling sensually around her own tongue, and she melted into his arms. She had to admit, this kiss was much better than the first one. --- The timbers groaned with complaint underhoof as Rhuno made his way to his room. Becca's toes barely touched the floor during the trip, literally swept off her feet in the tauren's embrace, their lips still locked in a passionate kiss. All she could do was hold on, clinging to fistfuls of his sapphire silk underclothes as he carried her along with long, powerful strides. It was almost like they were dancing. Their tongues danced too, coiling and uncoiling over and over. Without a moment's pause, he threw open the door, carried her across the the threshold, and kicked it closed behind them As the door latched shut, Rhuno paused. Slowly, he pulled his lips away from Becca's, straightening up and loosening his grip to set the petite human girl on her feet. Her eyes fluttered open, slowly, as he pulled away, emerging from the kiss like she was emerging from a trance, and she looked up at him. Bright, silvery moonlight poured through a window and flooded the room in a pale, dreamy light. Rhuno's massive form loomed over her, a wall of pure tauren might, half again her height and perhaps ten times her weight. Every inch of his broad-shouldered frame was layered in slabs of granite muscle. She realized, suddenly, that she was alone in the room with him. He could effortlessly overpower her if he wanted to. Nobody would be able to stop him. She should have been terrified... but she wasn't. When she looked up into his brilliant blue eyes, she just felt... safe. Rhuno raised a massive, calloused hand to Becca's chin, cradling it between finger and thumb, holding her gaze locked onto his. "I want you, Becca." he told her, his voice deep, gentle, warm, and sincere, the sound rolling through her. "You're a kind and beautiful girl, and I know you'll go on to do great things. I wish I could stay and see you do them. I wish I could be with you, even for a little while. But I know I must leave tomorrow, and I know we will walk different paths. I know there's no future for us together..." he explained, pausing for a moment, a note of sadness in his voice. "...But we can still have tonight." he added, on a more hopeful note. He leaned in closer, pressing his lips to hers once more in a tender kiss. When he pulled away, he looked deep into her eyes once more. His voice was soft, barely a whisper, when he spoke again. "Stay with me, just for tonight?" By the Horns Ch. 02 Becca's heart was pounding in her throat. Should she stay? Was it even possible? What would Miss Donna say? What would her father- No. No, she had to decide for herself. She had to be decisive. She pushed herself up to her tiptoes, planting a kiss on Rhuno's lips in reply. Her lips tingled softly as she pulled back, electrified by her excitement. "...Yes." she breathed, a soft smile spreading across her face, her grin swiftly mirrored by the tauren's own smile. His arm wrapped around her waist again, pulling her in and squeezing her against him as he kissed her once again. This kiss put all the others to shame. Sparks flew as their lips met, their bodies melting together as their tongues danced with unbridled passion. Her arms wrapped around his thick neck as they kissed, her fingers weaving together, holding on as she was once again swept off her feet, floating in his embrace. She could feel something hot against her stomach as he crossed the room in two long strides, bearing her toward the bed. They had one night. Not a second to waste. As Rhuno's ankles met the bed-frame, he tipped forward, leaning over further and further, until he had to plant a hand on the mattress to hold himself up. Slowly, he loosened his grip, easing Becca down until she lay on the bed, before almost reluctantly pulling away, breaking the kiss and straightening up. She stared up at him for a moment as he reached around behind his neck awkwardly and undid a hidden clasp. The collar of his sapphire underclothes suddenly hung loose, and he hooked a thick finger into it, pulling forward. Bit by bit, the material came loose, revealing the body beneath it, covered head to toe in coal-black fur. His broad, square shoulders and the gold-and-obsidian medallion hanging around his neck. His massive arms, with their immense biceps and scar-latticed forearms. His powerful chest and rippling, rugged abs. She found herself chewing her lower lip subconsciously. He was everything she'd imagined, and so much more. Rhuno paused as his upper body pulled free of the suit, reaching down to undo the tie around his waist. As the cord came loose, he hesitated, still holding it closed. He looked down at Becca for a moment, then closed his eyes and let go. The underclothes fell to the floor, puddling around his hooves, leaving him in nothing but his frostweave undershorts. Becca stared as he stepped out of the pile of frostweave, eyes riveted on a bulge the size of a melon straining the front of the underclothes, his package filling the garment to capacity. She'd expected him to be big compared to a human, but he was just... enormous! The bulge twitched, reacting to her stare by straining against its confinement. As Becca continued to stare, Rhuno took a deep breath, hooking his thumbs into the band of his undershorts, and, wasting no time, pushed them down. Becca's eyes threatened to pop from her head as she watched inch after inch of onyx cock emerge from confinement. The root of the thick, vein-marbled cock was already as big around as her wrist, and she could see it grow thicker with every throbbing beat of his heart. As the shorts came down, it just kept coming and coming, inch after inch of rapidly-expanding bull-cock. Her eyes flicked to his balls as they swung free of containment, each the size of a ripe orange, hanging heavy with the promise of gallons of hot, creamy cum. Finally, the undershorts fell away, and his half-hard shaft lurched up, sticking forward at the hip, but bowed under its own weight. It was huge, longer than her forearm and thicker than her fist, crowned with a flared, flat knob. "By the light..." Becca muttered, staring, awestruck by the sheer size of his endowment. Trepidation was in her eyes as they traced the length of the supremely male organ, her knees coming together unthinkingly. "Don't be afraid. I wouldn't hurt you." Rhuno reassured her. "It's enchanted. It'll fit, and it won't hurt." he explained, hesitating a moment before adding a final warning. "...but without protection, you might get pregnant." Becca was still uncertain, but something about the sight of Rhuno's monster swaying before her eyes made her believe it. It throbbed under her gaze, stiffening by the second, and watched in awe as the winding veins pulsed with his heartbeat. Suddenly, she felt an urge to reach out, and almost automatically, her hand came up, moving hesitantly toward the massive rod. It seemed to radiate a gentle heat, like a lantern, but not a harsh heat, a soothing, relaxing warmth. She could feel it on her skin, feel it growing more intense as her hand drew nearer. When her fingers met flesh, she gasped. It was hot to the touch, surprisingly so, hotter than seemed natural, and it pulsed with life beneath her fingertips. She could feel the warmth penetrating her hand, soothing away the tension in her muscles, the heat slowly running its way down her arm. Something inside her reacted, a sympathetic heat suddenly flickering to life deep in her core, the kind of heat that made her thighs grow damp, made her nipples harden to poke firmly at the thin material of her dress. Becca's other hand rose, slowly, like she was in a trance, moving to join the other on Rhuno's mighty shaft. Together, they began to move, slowly stroking up and down the length with feather-light touches. The beast lurched beneath the teasing touch, and Rhuno gave a soft, rumbling groan of pleasure as it grew harder still. She watched, enraptured, as the pillar straightened and rose, laboriously lifting the flared crown to stand straight and proud, reaching its full, immense size. It loomed over her as she lay on the bed, thicker than her arm, and almost as long, tipped with flared, gleaming knob. A two-foot club of bull-cock, as black and hard as a shaft of wrought iron, hot as a fireplace poker, its surface wound with bulging veins. With every heartbeat, it throbbed even larger for a moment, its heat spiking as it bucked against her gentle grasp. The supernatural warmth washed over her in waves, swiftly permeating her entire body, fanning the flames of desire burning hotter and hotter inside her core. Her hands moved faster as she licked her suddenly dry lips. Becca was panting softly as she stroked Rhuno's hot shaft, her dress suddenly uncomfortable. Too warm, and much too tight. She felt like she could hardly breathe. She had to get out of it. Something deep inside her wanted that. It wanted to strip, to peel away everything separating her from him, to cast aside her defenses and bare herself to him, body and soul. Her mind warred with itself, fear and reservation against desire and determination. She swallowed, nervously, and looked up to him, her brown eyes meeting his sapphire orbs for a moment, before shifting off to the side, her cheeks burning red. She pulled her hands away from his shaft, leaving it bobbing in midair. Wordlessly, she rolled over to her side, then up onto all fours. His heavy shaft slid between the shapely globes of her tight, upturned rear, the heat radiating through the material as it rested against her. She glanced back over her shoulder, biting her lip. "I... I need help... with the laces..." she breathed, just loud enough to be heard. Rhuno needed no further prompting. He reached down, gripping the laces running down the back of the bodice cinched tight around Becca's midsection. Unfortunately, it seemed thick digits were no match for Donna's skillful knot-tying, his blunt fingers simply unable to grasp the tightly-tied cords. With every attempt, the bull grew more and more frustrated. He had a powerful need, and he would not be denied by an uncooperative knot. Finally, his patience wore out. "I'll pay for another." he growled through gritted teeth as he seized the garment in both hands. With a deep, rumbling growl, he flexed, powerful muscles straining, and ripped the bodice apart, the laces popping in rapid succession, the garment falling away. She gasped, partly in surprise, partly at his strength, and partly at the sheer novelty of being able to breathe deep again. Rhuno's hand came down again, seizing hold of the back of Becca's dress in one powerful fist. Becca gasped once more as the dress tore away like it was made of parchment. It bit into her flesh for an instant before giving way entirely, leaving only fluttering scraps that clung to her for a moment before falling away, leaving her naked before the mighty tauren. In the silvery moonlight, her fair skin glowed, soft, smooth, and supple. His eyes traced the gentle hourglass curve of her slender frame, over her waist until they settled on her tight, shapely rear. His shaft smacked down between the globes once more, a sudden interruption of a lovely view, and a pointed reminder of what was to come for both of them. She gave a soft whimper at the feeling of the red-hot member on her bare skin, heavy and powerful and so very warm. Her inner thighs glistened with desire, her knees together on the bed as she kneeled on all fours before the powerful male. Something inside her thrilled, it just felt... right, somehow. Like she belonged here. "Just... be gentle..." she whimpered. Rhuno's hand came down once more, the same powerful limb that had torn the dress to shreds, rough, calloused fingers settling in to grip Becca's slender hips, thumb and fingers nearly reaching halfway around her waist. The grip was firm, commanding, perhaps even possessive, and yet... gentle. Tender. He drew his his hips back, his member sawing between her cheeks a the other hand reached down, taking hold of it near the root and angling it down. It seemed to take forever for the crown to finally slide over her ass and come down, suddenly prodding against her tender pink petals. Becca bit her lip, stifling a soft sound at the contact. It was so hot, and she was so wet, it felt like she was melting. It felt immense against her, the head alone eclipsing her inexperienced slit entirely. It seemed impossible for it to fit. But he'd promised it would. Her hands balled to fists around handfuls of sheets, eyes squeezing shut as she braced herself. A whimper escaped Becca's throat when Rhuno began to push forward. Her fingers hadn't prepared her for this. Her whole arm couldn't have prepared her for this. Nothing could have compared to him. Rhuno's head spread her lips wide in an instant, then wider the next, and then kept spreading her. It should have been impossible, agonizing at the very least, but she was melting around his shaft like butter before a hot knife. Her muscles relaxed as he stretched her virgin hole to the limits and beyond. And through it all, not a single twinge of pain, just pleasure, pure, sweet, and undeniable. His sheer size ground his crown against her clit, the pink pleasure bud blooming with waves of white-hot sensation, so intense her eyes shot open wide and she let out a squeak. Rhuno's grip tightened, thick fingers squeezing around her hips. Suddenly, there was a popping sensation, and she felt an unprecedented fullness. He was inside her. Her inner walls rippled at the sudden intrusion, her sensitive depths lighting up with pleasure as the head throbbed inside her entrance. Rhuno held himself there for a moment, letting her adjust to his size as his hand slid up her body, tracing the sensual curves of her side until it reached her shoulder, taking hold firmly. He gave a huff like a charging bull, and she gasped, feeling him move once more, pushing forward, slowly but surely stuffing inch after inch of beefy bull-cock into her virgin hole. Her walls twitched around him as his thick shaft opened them wider than should have been possible. Bolts of pleasure shot through Becca's body without warning, Rhuno's flared head teasing every fold and sensitive spot she had as it moved deeper and deeper inside her, most entirely unknown to her. Her body was awakening to pleasures she could have never imagined before, the massive tauren cock taking her virginity and spoiling her for humans in the same unstoppable thrust. She stifled a moan, feeling her insides rearranging to accommodate the invading shaft. She could feel how deep he was, feel the heat of his shaft as he impaled her inch after inch. Something was building inside her, something unfamiliar and almost frightening. A knot of tension inside her core, a pressure building greater and greater with every spark of pleasure, like an overfilled balloon threatening to explode with the lightest touch. She could barely contain it, her body trembling with the strain of holding it back, letting out only the tiniest whimpers. Without warning, there was an impact. Deep inside Becca's core, Rhuno's shaft bottomed out against her inner barrier. An explosion of pleasure radiated through her, rocking her all the way to the core. Her eyes shot open as she felt herself losing control, the pressure inside her too great to contain. Her teeth bit deep into her lip, pink flesh going white with the pressure as she held back the overwhelming surge of sensation. Then Rhuno's abs rippled, and he drew his hips back a fraction, bolts of electric pleasure racing up her spine as his crown teased her inner walls. His hand tightened its grip on her shoulder, and in that instant, she knew she couldn't hold it back any longer. His hips slammed forward once again, hammering at the barrier, a second explosion of sensation rocking her body once again, her back arching under the force as it all hit her at once. The knot of tension in Becca's belly burst apart, like a spring wound too tight, releasing all the restrained sensation at once as it unwound explosively. The inexperienced human girl couldn't have prepared herself for anything like this. Like a tidal wave of molten lust, surge of white-hot sensation ripped through her body, sweeping her mind away with it as her every nerve burned with exquisite, overwhelming ecstasy. Every muscle spasmed uncontrollably, her entire body arched backward like bow as she shook with pure, distilled pleasure. Her mind was drowned in lust, every thought swept away by the tide of ecstasy. Her head whipped back, her lips pursed as the air forced itself from her lungs in a wail of wordless pleasure. "OooOOOOOOOOOWOOOOO~!" she howled, the cry turning deep and primal as something was unleashed deep inside her. Becca could feel her body reshaping even in the grip of an immense orgasm. Every joint in her body suddenly popped, announcing the beginning of the change. Her hands were first, her fingers suddenly sprouting a coat of soft, gray fur as they extended, their tips sharpening into claws that shredded through the sheets they clutched in an instant. The fur traveled up her arms in a wave, reshaping her limbs as it passed over them, leaving them longer and more toned beneath the fur. It traveled up over her shoulders, the waves merging together as they met around her neck, extending up and down at once, further and further by the second. The fur hid nothing of her sensual figure as is rolled down her body swiftly, only slowing a fraction as it rounded her upturned ass. Her legs were dramatically restructured, shifting to support her weight on her toes, even as those toes sprouted claws and tore the sheets beneath them to ribbons. As the fur passed over Becca's head, she squeezed her eyes shut. Her hair grew suddenly longer, wilder. The fur reached her cheeks, and her mouth felt full, her tongue too big for her mouth, her teeth too sharp. Then her jaws stretched forward, the discomfort fading as they were drawn out into a lupine muzzle, her nose melting into the snout as it finished. Finally, the fur closed in, covering her eyes, and they snapped open as the transformation was finally complete, now a shade of predatory gold. She drew in a breath through her new snout, and found herself overwhelmed by the scent of sex, the smell of sweat, of pheromones, of male and female blending together. Her lips parted in a blissful grin, a soft moan escaping her throat as she trembled in the aftermath of her climax. Her knees parted, opening herself up to the alpha male pounding into her depths. All through Becca's orgasm, Rhuno was relentless. Even the surprise at her sudden transformation had only delayed him for a moment in his efforts. He thrust like a battering ram, pounding his flared crown against the trembling gates of her womb again and again without pause. Her wildly-spasming pussy rippled chaotically, seemingly unsure if it wanted to keep him out or hold him in. Nothing it did seemed to affect the single-minded determination of the mighty bull. He jerked his red-hot shaft back and forth six inches at a time, sawing a two-foot club of coal-black cockflesh in and out of her orgasmic pussy. Every stroke drew wave of pleasure from her spasming depths, prolonging her climax, weakening her barrier's seal. As her knees slid apart, the gates fell, and the invader drove forward, piercing through her spasming cervix and driving into her innermost sanctum, stuffing her womb with the last of his massive bull-cock. Becca moaned aloud at the sensation, and he groaned deep in his chest as he planted himself inside her to the hilt, his supernaturally potent rod buried in her most fertile depths. His heavy, orange-sized balls came to rest on her thighs, churning with gallons of bull-spunk. Becca wagged her hips against Rhuno's as he finally hilted himself in her impossibly-overstuffed womb. Still trembling in the aftershocks of orgasm, she moaned softly, her primal side now firmly in control, driven by the most basic drive, the urge to mate. She let her head fall forward, looking down her body to see her normally toned tummy stretched lewdly, distended around a thick shaft. A clawed hand came up, cradling the bulge, and she moaned again, feeling its heat radiating through her skin. She could feel the warmth penetrating her entire body now, stoking the flames of her lust ever-higher as her body surrendered itself to him. She twisted, glancing back over her shoulder at the alpha male inside her with a look of unabashed lust. He was a worthy mate, indeed. Becca shifted suddenly, dropping her body low to the bed and rolling to her back, Rhuno's shaft still inside her as she twisted around the impaling member. Both of them let out a soft cry at the novel sensation. She looked up at him, and spread her thighs, presenting herself belly-up, his monstrous shaft clearly outlined as it distended her normally-smooth stomach. She pulled her knees up, opening herself wider still, a show of complete submission to the powerful male looming above her. "Take me." She breathed hotly, moaning softly as she ground hips against his, her depths rippling around his unmoving pillar with a sensual need. "Take me, and I'm yours!" she promised, giving a soft whimper. "You've already taken my first time. Take the rest of me too. Take that big, fat, red-hot cock and FUCK me! Claim me! Mark me as yours! I want to be yours! I want to be your bitch!" she whined, begging as she rolled her hips, milking at his length. Rhuno blinked in surprise at Becca's sudden boldness, then smirked. "Well, well, you're just full of surprises, aren't you?" he asked, slowly leaning forward. The bed frame groaned in protest as it suddenly took his weight, the massive bull climbing up onto the bed, planting his knees and elbows on the mattress. He loomed over his prone lover, his massive, muscular bulk completely eclipsing her slender frame, their faces just inches apart as his sapphire eyes looked deep into hers. He kept his gaze locked with hers as he drew his hips back, slowly, pulling inch after inch of coal-black cock from her silken depths. She gasped, eyes going wide as a new wave of sensation rippled out from her womb, his flared cockhead teasing the walls of her innermost depths. His sheer size teased every fold of her impossibly-stretched slit, his massive member throbbing in time with his heartbeat. By the Horns Ch. 02 When Rhuno's flared crown tugged at the entrance to her fertile depths, Becca let loose a moan. Her moan became a ragged howl of ecstasy as he suddenly hammered his hips down and forward, plunging back into her to the hilt, his crown pounding at the back wall of her womb, his fat balls smacking against her upraised ass. Her arms shot forward as she writhed beneath him, wrapping around his granite shoulders, twitching fingers clawing weakly at his broad back. "Ooooh~! I just can't fight it anymore!" she explained, moaning wildly as he began to pull back again. "I wanted this since I first saw you! Part of me was scared, but I just don't care anymore! You're too strong to resist! Too MANLY!" she wailed. Becca paused her passionate praise only to press her lips to Rhuno's in a deep, hungry kiss. Her long, flexible tongue wrapped around his thick, powerful muscle as they kissed. Predator became prey as she submitted to the massive bull, hooking her legs around his waist and squeezing tight around his shoulders. He slammed his hips down again, pounding deep into her needy pussy, and the kiss broke, her head rolling back as she let out a howl of ecstasy. As she panted hotly for breath, she looked deep into his eyes once again. "It's only natural! I want the best! The best MAN! The best COCK! The best MATE! I want YOU! I want you to MATE me! BREED me! Give me your SEED! Give me your PUPS! Give me LITTERS and LITTERS of your pups! BREED your BITCH!" she implored, legs squeezing around him. Rhuno groaned as Becca's words echoed in his mind, his hips suddenly pumping faster. His hips smacked against hers with every thrust, his heavy orange-sized balls striking her ass again and again. Nearly a full foot of red-hot coal-black tauren cock pulled out of her with each stroke before being slammed back into place again. Every stroke was faster and stronger than the last, driven into her with savage strength, her hips bucking up to meet them in primal surrender. They fucked like animals, without reservation or hesitation, just unbridled lust for one-another. With every bed-shaking thrust, he bottomed out inside her velvety womb, and each time, she let loose a moan of louder and longer than the last. Her walls clamped down as waves of pleasure rocked her, her depths greedily milking his shaft for his potent seed. Surges of sensation fed the flames of lust burning hotter and hotter within each of them, and soon they could both feel a burning need for release, a need that could not be denied. Becca's claws raked at Rhuno's broad back, scratching over his tough hide, scrabbling for a grip on her lover as she felt a now-familiar pressure building in her core. This time, though, she didn't fight it. Instead, she threw herself into it, diving headfirst over the precipice of pleasure toward a raging sea of pure lust. She gripped Rhuno's powerful frame so tight she lifted up off the bed entirely, her body pressed tightly against warm, rock-hard muscle, clinging to him as his unyielding cock plunged into her once more. The pleasure hit her like a tidal wave, even more powerful than the first, so intense it stole the breath from her lungs. Her entire body trembled uncontrollably, her mouth hanging open in a silent cry of pleasure, tongue lolling from the side mindlessly as her eyes rolled up. Every thought in her mind was wiped away as her mind struggled to process the sheer magnitude of the pleasure rocking her very being all the way to the core. Her core squeezed tight, her depths squeezing around Rhuno's shaft wildly, her recently-virginal pussy milking his cock in mindless gratitude as she came. Rhuno couldn't take it. With Becca's already tight pussy gripping around his shaft in orgasmic spasms, he lost control, hammering his cock into her in a sudden frenzy, swiftly sending himself careening over the edge. With his two-foot shaft buried deep in the worgen girl's spasming pussy, his fat balls pulled tight against the root of his shaft. He let loose a low rumble or pleasure, a bellow of primal release as pleasure suddenly exploded through his body. Oceans of supernaturally-potent seed surged up from deep inside him, racing up the length of his pussy-pummeling cock toward their ultimate goal, the fertile womb of a willing woman. Cum fired from his shaft like a cannon, blasting against her innermost walls like the spray of a firehose. He painted her womb in an instant, his thick, creamy, white-hot cum, clinging to her walls, so hot it almost burned for a moment before she could adjust to it. It just kept coming, swiftly flooding her sacred depths with potent cream in a single, seemingly endless shot, a soothing warmth radiating from her overfilled womb. Becca moaned as her arms gave out, and she fell back to the bed, panting as the waves of her powerful orgasm calmed into the smooth, gentle current of afterglow. She came back to herself just in time to feel Rhuno's titanic shaft lurch deep in her core as it fired another massive blast of ball-batter into her already-full womb. She could feel his balls tighten against her ass, feel an endless jet of creamy spunk pumping into her, she could even feel her womb reach capacity and begin to expand. Her eyes widened as the long, tubular bulge running along her belly began to disappear, swallowed by the growing dome of her thoroughly-overstuffed womb. She could only watch and moan with pleasure as her belly ballooned out further and further, like a high-speed pregnancy, feeling each surge of hot spunk pumping into her one after another. After nearly a minute and what seemed like a gallon of ball-batter, it finally stopped, her belly large enough to press against his abs, sloshing with hot, creamy cum. The two lovers stayed still for a long moment, sweaty bodies locked tight together as they savored their afterglow together, panting together in wordless togetherness. Becca broke the stillness, craning her neck up and pressing her lips to his in a slow, passionate, loving kiss. Their tongues danced together in a slow waltz for what felt like forever, silently celebrating their union, celebrating each other, before finally, they pulled apart with a soft smack. Becca looked up at her lover with a wolfish grin and rolled her hips, grinding against him. Rhuno's unyielding cock gave a lurch of appreciation as her depths rolled around him. Becca licked her lips. "We've got one night... Let's make the most of it." she breathed. Rhuno grinned down at her, saying nothing, and ground his hips forward. --- The honey-gold rays of the sunrise flooded the room as Rhuno opened the door. Donna Berrymore stood in the hall, feet planted firmly at the threshold of the room, her arms crossed over her chest and a sour expression on her face. The tauren shifted to stand squarely in the doorframe, his immense bulk eclipsing her in his shadow, an intimidating silhouette, even if he was only wearing his frostweave underclothes. But the dark-haired matron was an indomitable woman, and when she met his gaze with a withering glare, even the mighty paladin felt small. "You need to leave. Now." she spoke, her tone firm and commanding. Rhuno blinked the last of the sleep from his eyes as he tried to process the command, still half-asleep, confusion on his brow. He glanced back across the room to Becca's still-sleeping form, now human, as she lay tangled in the torn sheets. Donna sighed in annoyance. "Fishermen are gettin' up about now. By the time the sun's up proper, the rest of' the town will be up, too. Becca's folks included. Her dad, he don't take kindly to gents sniffin' round his little girl. He's none too fond of the horde, either. He finds her gone, he'll come lookin', and if he finds her here, with you... well, he's a rabble-rouser. Doesn't take much to whip up a mob in town like this." She elaborated in a warning tone. "If yer on the road before he gets here, I can cover for her. Save her some trouble." Rhuno blinked again, his mind clearing as the urgency of the situation sank in. He looked over to Becca again, opening his mouth once, then shutting it again, shaking his head softly. There was no time for a real goodbye. "I... I didn't want to leave like this..." he muttered, voice husky with sleep, then looking back to Donna. "Tell... Tell her goodbye, for me?" he asked, hopeful. Donna nodded and stepped aside to let him pass as he pushed through the doorway, heading toward the stairs. As his hoof hovered over the edge of the top stair, he paused, glancing back to Donna. "...Why are you helping me?" he asked after a moment's hesitation. Donna frowned, expression hardening as she stood in the doorframe. "Don't get the wrong idea, cow. I don't like you. Last night was a mistake for everyone involved, start to finish." she clarified. She paused, glancing over to Becca laying in bed, sleeping soundly. Her expression softened a fraction, and she sighed. "But a girl's entitled to a few mistakes. She likes you, though I can't fathom why." she explained, somewhat wistfully. "an' she's too young to lose someone to the bloody war, a lover OR a father." she added on a darker note. Rhuno nodded, wordlessly starting down the stairs. "Hey." Donna called after him, and he turned back to see her glaring at him once again. "Just to be clear. If you hurt her, I'll be hot on your heels, and' I don't care how big and' tough you are, I'll make you hurt for it, one way or another." she warned, her eyes flashing predatory gold for an instant. Rhuno gave a respectful nod and headed down the stairs once again. --- Another quiet night dragged on at the Howling Drunk. Becca sighed softly to herself as she set another empty mug on the bar. The only good thing about the night was her new dress, even if it was just like the old one, and nobody had noticed, it still felt nice. "Becca!" Donna called from the kitchen behind her. Becca's expression lit up, grateful for a moment's straction from the monotony, and she turned and headed into the kitchen. Donna stood by the oven, arms cover to the elbows in flour, hands kneading a ball of dough. "I need another bag of' flour from the cellar." Donna explained, gesturing with her head to the stairs behind her. "Sure thing!" Becca replied curtly, heading for the stairs. "Careful, though." Donna warned as Becca reached the top step. "I think the rats are back again." she added. Becca hesitated, staring down into the darkness. Donna looked up from the dough as the silence lingered. "...I can wash up and get it..." she offered. Becca swallowed and shook her head. "No. No, I can do it." she reassured her boss, voice firm and level. She drew in a deep breath, closing her eyes. When she opened them again, they gleamed a predatory gold. "Decisively..." She muttered under her breath as she started down the stairs, brow furrowed as her joints began to pop in a familiar fashion. By the Horns Ch. 02 "Just in case," Mike said and Nadine nodded her head. As they approached the door Mike handed Nadine Thor's leash and when she took it she was amazed that Thor went right to her side. The other dogs stayed with Mike and as they exited the house she felt Thor was eager to go. Once the door was locked Mike and her began the long walk to the park. Along the way Mike and her talked about her life. She told him the basics about her growing up. Her mom was a nice woman and her dad was the coolest ever. "The one thing I loved about my mom was she was a stern woman, but she was the nicest person you'll ever meet," Nadine said happily reminiscing about the past. "Sounds like it," Mike agreed. "She always made sure that we had all our school work done, then she'd make us a nice dinner and it was fun," she said and Thor rushed over to a bush. Nadine laughed as he was very urgent in getting to the bush. He sniffed it repeatedly and walked her in a wide circle around it until he finally found his spot and lifted his leg. "Marking his turf?" she laughed. "Yup," Mike replied and had to hold Geri and Fenris at bay. They were just as eager to mark a few trees and shrubs of their own. Mike relented at a few as Thor kicked up some grass on the bush and trotted away. Nadine saw Mike was being attentive so she went on. "My mom was thrilled when I went to school. I really wanted to make them proud and get my four year degree, but then Trevor had his accident," she said softly. "I saw the game, it sucked," Mike comforted. "Yeah, it's been a rough struggle to get him back up," she said softly. "I know the struggle part, but it takes only as long as the person needs to get back to walking, then it's done," Mike replied. "What do you mean?" she asked unsure of his meaning. "I mean that when I was done with my surgeries I had eleven months of rehab and after that I was on my way," Mike said and used the handle of the shovel to tap his knee. Nadine heard not the sound of wood on bone, but wood on metal. Her eyes widened at the sound. "I don't have a knee anymore, I have an artificial joint," Mike said and Nadine was stunned. He went on seeing her expression, "See my knee was in like a million pieces and the cartilage was gone so they had to go prosthetic. My leg was fine, but the joint was fucked beyond repair. It took them a few weeks to decide not to amputate at first. The doctors didn't see any infection so they decided to use the prosthetic joint, and I'm glad they did," Mike said reflecting. Nadine thought about that and then about her husband. His surgeries took about three weeks, then he was in therapy for nine months. The doctor said football was a no go anymore, but he could live a normal life. She then thought about how long he wasted away and it suddenly made her ask. "So how did you come to grips with that?" she asked. "The only easy day was yesterday," Mike replied. Nadine's face screwed up as she heard the simple phrase and it actually made a chuckle come from her lips. "We say that in the teams. It's simple, you never know how hard the next day will be, you can only put the hardship behind you and go forwards regardless of whatever may come," Mike explained. The logic was sound and Nadine could not help but thinking about it as they walked. Mike realized he gave her something to think about so he left her to it. Thor was also a reason they kept going as he saw the park and his not so gentle tugging on the leash made Nadine pick up the pace a bit. The group made it to the park and Mike slipped the leashes off the dogs. The only thing spoken between the two was a series of laughs and shouts as they played with the dogs. Mike had a few balls in his pocket for the dogs that he threw and the dogs happily chased. Nadine threw a ball for Thor a few times and all in all they had a fun time. As the group began it's walk back from the park the dogs began to act a bit oddly. Mike was hoping to make it back before they did, but Fenris couldn't wait. Mike dropped his head as he watched the dog find a spot after sniffing the ground and Mike shook his head. "You couldn't wait three more minutes?" he asked rhetorically. Nadine turned to see Fenris crouch and do his business. She turned her head as the dog let go and Mike sighed. "Jesus! That's more than you weigh!" he exclaimed and Nadine laughed. Mike took out the shovel and dustpan and handled the mess. As Nadine was laughing Thor began to sniff the grass nearby. She saw it and her eyes got big. "Thor no! Please no!" she begged, but the dog crouched. "Eww!" she squealed as Thor let go. Mike had just barely finished the clean up when he looked over and saw Nadine looking away nearly horrified as Thor did his business. He let out a chuckle as Nadine looked like she was going to be ill as she held his leash. Mike shuffled the shovel and dustpan and walked to Nadine with a smirk on his face. As he got close to her Nadine finally was able to look at him and when she did he extended the items to her. "What's this?" she asked confused. "Your walking him after all," Mike said seriously. "Mike!" she exclaimed and shook her head no. "It's the law Nadine. He made the mess and you have his leash, so get crackin'," Mike said smugly. "But Mike that's...." she said and her face showed pure revulsion at the task at hand. "Get to it," he prompted and Nadine took the shovel with a shaking hand. Mike crossed his arms as she looked like she was going to retch as she tried to clean up the mess. When he felt like she was going to be sick Mike interceded. He took the shovel and dustpan from her and cleaned it up himself. "Wuss," he chided as he got the mess contained. Nadine huffed at him and took Thor's leash. She walked by him and stuck out her tongue and walked back to the house. Mike laughed hard at that as he got the other two dogs in tow and they made it back to his place. When they got home Mike led the dogs to the backyard and let them go. He also walked into the backyard and deposited the mess into a trash can in the backyard and put the shovel and pan next to it. Nadine followed him and the two took a moment to watch the dogs run around the backyard. The pair stood by for a few minutes watching the dogs run and laughed when Fenris jumped into the pool. Thor stood at the edge of the pool and thought about it, but he ran off to the grass with Geri to play. Nadine smiled as she watched the dogs playing and Mike patted her back. "Are they always like this?" she asked. "Sometimes. Sometimes more so," Mike replied. Nadine smiled as Thor rolled around in the grass and Fenris got out of the pool. He shook off and trotted around the yard rubbing his fur along the ground. Nadine looked at the clock and saw it was getting late after a few minutes of watching the dogs play. She sighed and Mike understood the meaning behind it. "Time to go?" he asked. "Yeah," she said softly. "Let me get your bowls then," he offered and walked to the kitchen. Nadine turned to leave and as she did Thor perked his head up seeing her leave. He groaned softly and laid his head down between his paws. He blinked a few times seeing his new friend leave and began to whimper a bit. Nadine didn't realize his sadness to see her go as she was inside, but she felt his eyes upon her. She turned to see him with his head down and waved to him to say goodbye. She noted his tail began to wag a bit and she giggled at that. She had indeed made a friend. Turning the corner to the kitchen Nadine was met by Mike who had her bowls in hand and was putting them in a plastic shopping bag. He tied it off and handed it to Nadine who took it then he led her to the front door. "Hope you had a good time Nadine," Mike said softly. "I did, thanks for being open for dinner," she said in a chipper tone. "Hey I didn't have to cook," Mike joked making her laugh a bit. Nadine saw the sincere look on his face and patted his back. She walked to the door and like the last time he watched her till she was home. It was a comforting gesture that Nadine appreciated. As she closed her own door she saw her phone was blinking. She silently cursed that she forgot it and went to it. She picked it up and walked to the kitchen to rinse the bowls. When she opened them she found they had already been washed! She hadn't seen it but before they had walked the dogs Mike had set them in his dishwasher. Nadine smiled at that and set the bowls in the cupboard. Once done she looked at her messages. Her phone had four messages. The first was her mom saying hello and wondering why she didn't call as much. The second was her friend Stephanie calling her with some interesting news. The third was Trevor calling to say he would be late. She sighed at that and the last was Stephanie again. This time she was far more insistent that she call her. Nadine listened to the urgency in her voice and sighed. She called her friend and was shocked at how quickly the phone was answered. "Oh my God chick, have I got something to show you!" Stephanie said almost singing into the phone. "OK," Nadine said in total confusion. "Hey sweetie you really need to come to my place...and I mean like now. You are going to love this!" Stephanie said the last part in a sing song voice. "All right Steffi...you make it sound like the world is ending," Nadine said laughing. "Maybe a little," Stephanie giggled and went on, "Now hang up and get your little tooshy up here!" she demanded. Nadine laughed out loud at that and shook her head. "OK, give me a few minutes," Nadine said and Stephanie hung up. Nadine was still laughing at that and walked to her bedroom. Stephanie was never really so impulsive so a part of their conversation bothered her. Another part of her was intrigued by whatever was up so she made haste. She changed from the t shirt into a nicer cardigan and slipped on her sandals. She gathered her purse and phone and decided to call her mom on the way to Steph's house. She set her phone in the holder and the blue tooth in her ear. Once it was set she turned the ignition of her car and pulled out. She got onto the freeway and called her mom. The phone rang a few times, but a familiar voice answered it. "Hey baby," Nadine's mother said in Spanish. As long as Esmeralda lived in the States, she still spoke Spanish as her first language. All her children spoke it as she knew it was a useful tool for them. Their father was more than fine with it as he wanted his kids to have all advantages in this life so he made sure they spoke it fluently as well as English. Esmeralda shocked Nadine as she switched to English as they conversed. "So how are you mi bebe?" Esmeralda asked pleasantly. "I'm good momma, I got a new promotion the other day," she said cheerfully. "That's very good news mami! I knew you were a good one for that bank," her mom said in a bubbly tone. The conversation between mother and daughter continued on and was well natured. It took a turn to why she hadn't been home in so long and when the excited soon to be grandparents could hope for good news. The conversation kept as far away from the problems the two of them were having as long as it was possible, but as is evident in life; mom knows. "So is he still acting like a fool?" Esmeralda asked point blank referring to Trevor's inability to push on. "Momma," Nadine begged trying to push the topic away from where it was going. "Nadine please. Your daddy and I have been talking about going back to New york to visit relatives. Maybe you should come with us and get your head back on straight," her mom said hoping to get her away from Trevor and maybe helping her to push on. "I would momma, but I have my job to think about and no vacation time," Nadine said truthfully. "Nadine..." She wished to go on, but Nadine cut her off. "Momma I gotta go I have someone on the other line," she said softly and hit the switch button. Nadine had actually cut her off by cutting the conversation off. She knew her mother's thoughts regarding Trevor ever since they had their near falling out. While Nadine had gotten her to give him another chance, Esmeralda never trusted him since. While she truly appreciated her mother's advice, Nadine knew once her mother had her mind made up that was it. Nadine blew out a sigh as she thought of hanging up on her mother, but she drove on. Nadine dwelled on her mother's words as she drove on and before she knew it she was in front of Steph's house. As she went to park she noted that only Steph's car was in the parking spot so she parked behind it. As she got the car in park Nadine wasn't ready to see Steph was literally in the window and the door opening before Nadine had killed the engine. "Oh my god baby girl! You have to see this!" Steph sang out in such a way it made Nadine worry. "Umm Steph...can I undo my seat belt?" Nadine asked as she felt Steph tugging her arm. Stephanie looked down and saw the belt was still tucked on and laughed. She tapped her foot impatiently as Nadine killed the engine and undid her seat belt. As Nadine swung her legs out Stephanie snatched her arm and pulled her to her feet. Nadine laughed at how eager Steph was being, but deep down she was worried by it. Last time Stephanie was so eager about something was when she got drug to a carnival with a scary ride that made her sick for three days. "So I didn't know you lived next door to a celebrity," Stephanie crowed. "I do?" Nadine answered back totally lost. "Of a sort," Steph replied. "I'm so lost," Nadine said and her face showed it. "That we already knew," Steph laughed. "Hey!" Nadine squeaked, but she had no time for revenge as she was still lost by what was up. The lost look in her eyes and hopeless smile she had on her face was so cute to Steph that she hugged her tight and pulled her along to her computer. When Nadine was in front of it Steph had her sit in the chair and moved her mouse to make it come to life. As the screen came to Steph went to her browser and clicked on the icons. After a few sites flashed by she came to the one she was looking for. Smiling mischievously she clicked on the icon and on the screen was a picture of Mike in a large ball room on the podium accepting and award of sorts. Nadine tilted her head curiously at the image and when she read the explanation her eyes widened in pure shock. The caption read. "Accepting the award for best hardcore scene involving interracial Mike Spikes and Talindra Desire." As Nadine read on she saw the woman also receiving the award was someone she had seen before. The lady that sat at the table with Mike at the party he had when he moved in. Her jaw found slack as she read on that the scene was a very popular one on the net with almost fifteen million hits in a few hours after launching. Nadine's face looked up to Stephanie and her head twitched as she could only see the cat grin on her face. "So why didn't you tell me you lived next door to such a stud?" she teased. "I...I...." Nadine stammered totally at a loss. While she was thankful for the dark skin she had, she knew that the blush in her cheeks was glaringly obvious. Stephanie began to flip through a few more of the articles and as she did Mike's name was mentioned several more times. Nadine couldn't help the rapid eye blinks as she red each one. The next thing on the screen was a club that was filled with several of the awards people and looked to be jumping. Steph it the play option and the video came to life. The after party from the awards ceremony was going on and fully televised. They watched for a few moments seeing the actors and actresses mingling and having a good time. Mike was there and he seemed to be a loner, but then Nadine's eyes got even bigger when a face she would never had imagined showed up. Melina walked in to the picture and she was wearing something that was near scandalous. The tight top she wore was classy, but short. The skirt she wore was not so classy, and even shorter. The thigh high leather boots she had on were just naughty as hell with five inch heels. With very little modesty Melina snatched Mike from the table and took him to the dance floor. The song that played was a fast paced dance song that Melina took charge of. The way Melina and Mike danced in the party showed they were lovers, but when the screen behind them was showing a scene from a film Nadine's eyes bulged. Melina was in a nasty three way with two men she had never seen before. The way she was being tossed about between the men was something that made Nadine shift in her seat a bit. The raw dirtiness of it all was very upfront and Nadine could feel a slight tingle in her body as it went on. The scene was indeed hot, but then she got a sight of something that made her eyes widen to their highest point. The clip ended and the screen switched to an actual porn scene from the dancing. The scene before Nadine and Steph's eyes was a classroom. In the room was a chalkboard covered in scribbles that were lewd and made no sense what so ever. The screen filled with a pretty, very voluptuous black woman who looked to be a bit older, maybe thirty five or so sitting behind the desk. She looked to be busy grading papers and not paying attention to much else. The boredom in her face was apparent as she sat and did her work. The scene showed her looking at her phone as it rang suddenly and giggling like a school girl she begin to talk to someone. The conversation was like a smitten little girl talking to her first crush and was very, very cliche. As she spoke into the phone a shadow loomed over her. Steadily the shadow began to get larger as a man slowly walked into the room. Nadine's eyes bulged as even from behind and in a suit she could tell it was Mike. The teacher had no idea he was there and when she set the phone down the looming figure was crossing his arms behind her. As she set the phone down Mike shook his head in a disappointed manner. "There is such a thing as a felony you know," Mike said suddenly and the woman jumped from her shoes. "Oh my god you scared me!" she exclaimed as she turned to see Mike's looming face. "I'm sure I did," he said back simply. Mike was standing in such a way as to be very near the woman, but far enough away to make her seem nervous. He stalked forwards and before she could react he snatched the phone from her desk. The phone flipped to life and the teacher tried futilely to take the phone from his hand. Mike seemed to not even pay attention to the teacher as he used his hand to keep her hands at bay then he glared at her with an evil light. Like a snake his hand shot out snatching her wrist and spun her to her desk. The teacher went chest first into the desk and Mike held onto her arm behind her. He stood but millimeters from her very full ass and flipped through the images on the phone. "So, care to explain why I see about a dozen students numbers on your phone Mrs Weathers?" he asked in a very cold tone. "Dean Spikes please, I do study hall and they..." she started to protest and suddenly she was cut off by a vicious slap to her ass. "Ow!" she cried out as the thunderous crack made the women watching the scene jump, but continue to watch on. "Really now, lying to me is not the smartest thing to do here slut," he said coldly and stuck the phone in front of her face. The teacher got a scared look as he used his thumb to show her images from the phone. "Here you are, one of my best English teacher, spreading your slutty legs to any little boy in my school," he said coldly and slapped her ass again as he yanked the phone from her face. The teacher whimpered under the blow, but Mike wasn't done yet. He slapped her several more times on the ass making her scream and cry out in pain from each one. The slaps were very hard and even in the camera's focus the actress looked like she was in obvious pain. By the Horns Ch. 02 "The truth hurts more than that does you know," he said simply as he stood her up and suddenly the camera caught a glimpse of her blouse. The full jiggling breasts had diamond hard nipples that stabbed through the material. Mike's head was over her shoulder as a demonic grin spread across his face seeing the sight before him. "Well now, my little whore likes to be spanked it seems," he said with a menacing chuckle. "No," she tried to lie, but his hand shot between her legs and the teacher let out a throaty moan. "Don't lie to me slut, it won't end well for you," he said chuckling and pinched her on the inner part of her thigh. "Yes sir!" she whimpered. "Yes sir what?" he said coldly grinding his crotch into her ass. "I do like it sir!" she exclaimed as Mike used the leverage on her arm to make her stand on tip toes. "Well now, my little slut seems to be wetting her panties right now, I wonder why is that?" he teased then continued, "Because a slut like you with only little boys to try and satisfy her can't resist a real man now can you?" he said and nipped her neck. "No!" she breathed out. "That's what I thought, now off with the blouse slut!" he commanded releasing her arm. Her hands frantically ripped at her buttons and the dark skin emerged from the cream colored blouse. Her massive globes were encased in a blue bra and Mike's hand ripped her huge tits from their prison by yanking it down under them. The engorged nipples stood taught and firm begging for attention as Mike's hand slithered around and twisted one very hard making her cry out. For a painfully long time he teased her nipples and bit her neck making the teacher mewl as he did. His large hands squeezed and played with the large tits for a long time, then he was ready to take the game to a new level. "On your knees bitch! Time for a real cock!" he commanded. Without a word the teacher spun to her knees and fumbled with his pants. She undid the belt and fumbled with the zipper as she began to pant like a bitch in heat. As her desperate fumblings finally bore fruit both Nadine and Stephanie's eyes grew wide. Mike's engorged prick came out and it was enormous! His dick went the length of the woman's forearm and she gasped in shock seeing the sheer size. In terms of girth it was also more than adequate. The teacher gave a scared look back up to him and he responded by grabbing a handful of her hair and shoving it into her mouth. The poor woman gagged and choked on the monster as it filled her mouth and throat with each shove. The sheer rawness of the scene was fully on display as Stephanie found herself watching very intently as was Nadine. Try as Nadine might, she couldn't take her eyes from the scene. Stephanie was also intent on the loud slurping going on in the scene. It took several minutes, but the woman got as much as she could down her throat and drool spilled across her cheeks, chin and pooled on her tits. The on scene show before them made Nadine blush furiously. She never watched a porn before, and to see her neighbor in a very nasty scene in front of her eyes was too much for her. Mike suddenly tore the woman from her knees and flung her casually on the desk. With a rip of his hand the skirt was torn to the top of her hips and the blue panties she wore were soaking through. Nadine was shaking as she watched the scene and remembered, she owned a set that looked just like what the actress was wearing. "I can't watch this anymore, Stephanie," Nadine said and abruptly got to her feet. Nadine turned off the video as she got up and turned to face her friend. Stephanie had a sheepish look on her face as she knew that Nadine was likely very uncomfortable with what she had just witnessed. Before Nadine could say anything Stephanie cut her off. "I'm sorry honey, I didn't mean to..." she began, but Nadine cut her off with an upraised hand as she brushed by her friend. Not a word came from Nadine's lips as she grabbed her purse and left. Stephanie stood shocked as the look on Nadine's face was nothing she had ever seen before. It wasn't anger, but it wasn't anything she could put her finger on. With haste she went to the door in time to see Nadine pull out of the driveway and drive off into the deepening gloom. Stephanie rushed to her phone and called her friend, but Nadine didn't answer. As soon as it went to voice mail Stephanie left her message. "Nadine, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to embarrass you like that. If you don't forgive me I understand. Just call me honey," she pleaded and hung up. Nadine didn't answer the phone, but she knew who it was and the likely contents of the message. For Nadine the scene was just too much for her to handle. The dizzying images didn't leave her mind as she got on the freeway in a daze. The whole scene replayed in her mind over and over as she drove onwards. The obscene gesture the woman did as she bobbed on Mike's cock was just something she wished she hadn't have seen. The loud moaning the woman did on her knees also got into her mind, but somehow she shoved them out. Her driving skills seemed to come automatically as she droned home. Her mind was awash in a flutter of activity as she missed her exit and had to backtrack a few miles to get home. As she was pulling into her driveway from the spectacle she had just witnessed she looked across the street to Mike's house. Surely it had to be a mistake. Surely the nice man across the road from her wasn't the man she had seen at Stephanie's. Her mind became resolute as she shook off her confusion and marched into her house. Her keys and purse found the table as she went to her computer in her room and sat down. Nadine took a deep breath as she booted up her system and typed in her pass code. Once her security was bypassed Nadine opened her browser and took a shaking breath. She typed in Mike's name and hit enter. What came up was a bunch of names and faces on sites like Facebook and Google+. She checked all the names and came up with nothing. She sighed and looked through a few more sites, but nothing else came up. As she sat she thought about what she had seen and typed in AVN on her search bar. As she scanned the names of winners she saw no names that matched. As she went on she remembered the name she had seen as Mike Spikes. With a shaking finger she clicked on the name and the picture of Mike came to life on her screen. He was wearing a nice suit and was accepting an award from person on the stage. There was no doubting it now. She saw the man clearly and he was none other than Mike from across the street! Nadine sat back in her chair and her mind still didn't want to accept what she saw so she began to search more into him. She typed in his stage name and hit enter. The images that came up were the final nail in her disbelief's coffin. The images showed him without his shirt and his tattoos were on full display. The last thing that showed her it was him was looking at a scene with him standing in clear view so she could see the large scar on his knee. Nadine's hands shook as she clicked on several more sites and soon she was rewarded by a collage of pictures. There were several pictures of him engaged in acts with women of varying colors. Several white girls were on their backs being hammered by him. Several more showed a few black women in various positions with him. Many more came up that showed him with Latinas and Asians as well. As she went on she saw more pictures and several clips of films with him in them. While his name wasn't the name that was mentioned in the films credits, there was no doubt he was the man in the scene. As she went on she saw a picture that made her jaw go slack as Melina and him were on the screen! Melina was in a black lacy garter belt and fully fashioned nude back seamed stockings with a bra still on being madly plowed by him. She didn't know why she did it, but Nadine's shaking finger clicked the play button on the scene and it came to life. The scene was very erotic as Melina was on her side with her leg in the air with Mike behind her slipping in and out of her. Her very full breasts swayed along the bed as she was pushed and pulled under the continuous thrusts of Mike's strong hips and arms. Her voice was a series of moans and loud gasps as he found her spots and continued to assault them. Nadine wasn't aware of it, but as she watched her nipples slowly began to rise. She continued to watch as Mike slowly began to saw in and out of her making Melina mewl. The scene continued on with Mike turning Melina over to her back and spreading her legs wide. Melina looked up at him with a purely blissful look and began to talk dirty to him in Spanish egging him on. Mike's gleaming eyes bore into hers as he leaned across her body. Melina met him halfway and in a lusty display she began to tongue kiss him in a naughty manner. The sheer passion of the kiss was just delicious as Melina mewled again as he kissed her. As soon as it came the kiss ended and Mike continued to saw in and out of her. The sight of Mike's tan skin as it began to slap against Melina's bronze skin was beginning to show it's appeal for Nadine as she watched the last minute of the scene only to have it end and leave her in a strange place. She was suddenly aware that her hand was touching her left breast and when she saw that she closed out the computer and got to her feet. Nadine rushed to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. The cold water filled her hands and she smoothed it over her face to try and get a clear thought in her head. Sadly the water spilled along her neck and down her chest. The coolness of the water made her shudder and she decided to shower. She turned on the shower and waited for it to get hot. Once it was to her liking Nadine got into it and let out an audible sigh as the hot water washed over her skin. She washed off as best she could, but her hands kept shaking as she thought of what she had just seen. Her eyes closed tight as she tried to push the images aside, but her hands were not acting like she would like them too. Without her mind acknowledging it her fingers found a perch on her nipples and began to slowly twist them. Nadine shuddered as she twisted them and sighed as the feeling washed through her. As the buds rose and became like hard points Nadine opened her eyes and saw what she was doing. She stopped and put her hands to her sides. The burning in her tummy let her know it didn't appreciate her stopping, but she had too. She turned the water off and quickly got out of the shower. Her mind was spinning as she dried off and put on her pajamas. Without a thought she got under her blankets and curled into a ball. The night drug on and on for Nadine with no mercy. She was awake when Trevor came home. He slipped into bed and fell asleep without saying a word to her. Nadine was hating herself for thinking of Mike as her husband slept next to her, but her mind wouldn't drop it. The nights sleep she got was so very hard as she only slept maybe four hours. Time began to play games with her as she droned on and on at work and home. For nearly three weeks Nadine seemed to be distracted by something. During the time she didn't call back Stephanie, but it wasn't because she was mad at her. She just didn't know what to say. Trevor was being somewhat approachable, but he was also being his normal self most of the time. The two times she almost had to hold him down to make love to him seemed to make Nadine think he was not into it any more. For the most part she would beg him and finally just take matters into her own hands to make anything happen. The last night of passion they had was anything but for her. They laid in the bed after a very passionless time during the early afternoon. Trevor was on his back enjoying getting his jollies off and Nadine was on her side angry at everything it seemed. They had barely made love for ten minutes and she was not the center of his focus again. She felt something of disgust in her as she laid there thinking of many things and nothing all together. Deep down she wondered why he was being so distant, but her mind actually stopped caring of it. Her mind began to run wild with many different thoughts and it came to a head when she looked at the mirror and saw him smiling smugly. In her mind she was tiring of it all so she went for broke. "Do you even love me anymore Trevor?" she asked and her voice was neutral as she said it. Trevor looked over at her and scoffed. "How can you ask me that?" he asked back. "Like this Trevor, Do you...love me...anymore?" she said and broke it up so he could hear her. Trevor was not the only one shocked by her sudden anger. Nadine didn't realize how cold she sounded until it came from her mouth and hit him like a slap to the face. Trevor heard the tone and he tried to downplay it, but something in her eyes showed she was not just angry, she was spoiling for something more. "Yes, of course I do, how can you ask that?" he again asked and his voice showed an edge that he didn't want to come. Nadine heard the edge and it set her mind off and suddenly she felt her temper rising. "I don't know Trevor, maybe because you don't ever want to be with me or hold me anymore," she started and sat up to face him. Her eyes began to burn as she was looking dead at Trevor as she went on. "Or maybe because no matter what happens you allows just run off and leave me hanging every damn time we try and do something," she said firmly. "I have to work! What do you want me to do say no? Do you know how hard it is to find a good job anymore Nadine?" he retorted. "Trevor every time we do anything you leave. Every time I would like to make love to you, you fall asleep or just blow me off. Why?" she asked and her voice was on the edge of breaking. "Jesus Nadine, I work my ass off and now I get to be the asshole," he exclaimed and got out of the bed. "Trevor..." she tried to say but he threw his pants and shirt on. Angrily Trevor stalked to the door and left stomping all the way down the hall. Nadine put on her nightie and ran after him. As she made it to the living room he slammed the front door and his car started up. Nadine tried to get to him at the door, but he pulled out and peeled off. The way he did made her heart sink. As she was looking down the way she happened to look up and saw Mike was standing by his front door. He had something in his hand that looked like a cigarette, but not. He waved his hand to her and she felt a blush go up her face. Meekly she waved back and rushed into her house. Nadine sighed loudly and sat on her couch. She put her hands in her lap and for the first time in many years tears filled her eyes and a sob broke out of her. Her hands went to her eyes as she cried and it was a painful series of sobs that came from her chest. She curled into a ball on her couch and for what felt like hours the tears of frustration and anger washed down her face. Sadness was there, but not to the same level of intensity that the rest of her emotions were. The air hung heavily around her as the feelings that had been held down for so long came out in a torrent. Nadine cried and cried, but in the end she found a inner reserve to get off the couch and go to her bedroom. She looked around the room and somehow found composure to get back into the swing of it. She took her nightie off and went to the closet. Her hands shook as she thought of what she was doing, but now she didn't care. She got her clothes on and when she was done she looked at herself. She was wearing a nice skirt and blouse. She had on simple flats and walked to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and what she saw made her angry. The tear streaks on her face made her sigh and get out her face wash. A quick wash of her face helped to smooth down the streak trails. She did a light touch up of her makeup to make sure the lines would not show. She exhaled deeply and walked to her living room. She wanted to do what was on her mind, but at the same time she dreaded doing it. As her mind wandered about Nadine sat down and picked up her phone. She dialed the number that she meant to dial for so long and was relieved when Stephanie answered the phone. "Hey baby girl," Stephanie said softly. "Hi Steph, sorry I haven't called you," she apologized. "It's OK, I thought you were really mad at me for that," Steph replied. "Not mad, just shocked. I don't...I don't really feel comfortable..." she said trying to form the phrase. "You don't like porn," Steph finished for her. "Well..." Nadine said, but left it alone. "It's OK baby girl. I'm just glad your not mad with me," Stephanie said in a relieved tone. "I never was," Nadine said softly. Stephanie was taken back by that remark. "You never were? Then why didn't you call me back?" she asked somewhat confused. "I didn't know what to think when you showed me that film. I was angry, but really it was very confusing," Nadine replied not sure of what to really say. What Nadine didn't want Stephanie to know, and what she didn't want to admit was the film got to her more than she let on. Nadine exhaled as she pondered what to say to Stephanie, but nothing good came to her mind. "I see, well can we hang out next weekend?" Stephanie asked. "I'd really like that," Nadine whispered. "Then Saturday after you get up we are going out for a mani-pedi," Stephanie said laughing. "That sounds great," Nadine said and a smile finally found its way back to her face. "Then call me Friday and we can make arrangements," Stephanie said. The two talked about a few things regarding the upcoming event and Nadine hung up on her after they were done. She had half a mind to call her mother and see if she could go to her place for the night. She wanted nothing more than to be away from the house for a while. She picked up her phone and put it in her purse then she gathered her coat. Nadine figured to call her mom on the way over. Locking the door Nadine took a deep breath and walked to her car. As she was walking a loud commotion got her attention as a cat flew down the street hissing as it ran. Hot on the cat's trail was a fast moving blur that she made out to be Thor. Thor was easily keeping pace with the cat some how. As the big dog got near the cat the agile feline bounded up and over Nadine's wall into her backyard. Thor came to a stop and he growled at the wall. Nadine was wide eyed as the dog stopped growling and looked in her direction. When he saw his friend Thor's tail began to wag and he trotted over to her. He plopped on his rear and looked up to her panting happily. "How did you get out?" she asked the dog, but he simply titled his head as he panted happily. Nadine walked over and pet him on the head and Thor began to lick her hand. She laughed at that and knelt down to rub his neck and behind his ear. Thor seemed to like it and leaned down so she could get a better angle on his neck. Suddenly her nails found "the spot" and Thor let out a moan and flopped on the ground. Nadine giggled as she continued to scratch the spot and Thor was groaning happily as she continued. After a bit she stopped and Thor got back to his feet. Nadine laughed as he walked up to her and licked her face a few times in thanks. "Let's get you home big guy," Nadine laughed as she took him by the collar and began to lead him back home. As Nadine got closer she noted the side gate was open and it was likely how he got out. She took Thor to the side and locked it then brought him back to the front door and knocked at it. Thor sat down and she let go of his collar and pet him a few times. The door opened and Mike was standing in the doorway and he looked confused. "Um...Thor got lose," Nadine said softly. "How in the ..." he started to ask and Nadine answered him. By the Horns Ch. 02 "The side door was open and he was chasing a cat across the road," Nadine said smiling. "You pain in my ass," Mike said to Thor and Thor looked at him in a confused manner. "Sie erhalten hier in," Mike commanded and Thor rushed inside. Mike gave him a playful swat on the flank as he rushed by. Nadine giggled as Mike watched the dog run by and look back. "Sorry about that," Mike said thankfully. "It's no...um...no problem," Nadine said and her eyes looked down. "You all right?" Mike asked noting how she was looking down. "Um....yeah...I'm fine," she said quietly. Mike nodded his head not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable. He stood in the door and he was really concerned at how sheepish she was acting. "Mike I have a...um...question to ask you," she stammered softly. "OK, ask away," he replied, but Nadine suddenly blushed furiously. Nadine was shaking in fear as she really didn't want to ask him what she was going to, but to put her mind at ease and hopefully get over whatever was in her stomach she went for broke. "Do you have a computer I could use real fast?" she asked. "Yeah sure," Mike said and cleared the way so she could enter. Nadine walked in and she was suddenly even more scared. She looked around the house she had helped move in and was terrified of it suddenly. She was worried of making a fool of herself, but she followed Mike bravely to his office. The keypad sounded as he entered the code and the door opened. The two of them entered his office and Nadine sat down as Mike booted up his computer. After some key codes were put it Mike opened it to her use. Once he had it open and sure she couldn't access his personal files he got up and let her have at it. Nadine took a deep breath and got behind the desk. The big chair was very comfortable as she sat I nit and it helped her relax a bit as she typed out the site she remembered. The sire came to life and she noticed Mike was not looking at the screen. She took a deep breath and expanded the icon so the image of Mike filled the screen. The image was him and Melina that she had seen. "Mike, I don't want to sound silly, but is this you?" she asked and got up. Mike turned to look at the screen and his eyes found the image. He looked at the scene and smiled a bit. It wasn't smug, more of a smile of remembrance. A slight exhale came from his nose as he sat on the edge of the desk and bit his lower lip. With a slight smack of his lip as he let go he looked fully to Nadine's face and answered. "Yes, it is," was all he said. By the Horns Ch. 03 Sorry for the delay. I read and reread this one and hates it, but I realize that it must be so I can go on with what is to come. Chapter four is in the works and should be out very soon. Hope you enjoy and stick around to see what happens next. As always, enjoy the show kids! Nadine's hands pulled the black lace panties up her legs and set them in place. They fit so well and snug that she couldn't help smiling at the new feelings that washed over her as she looked in the mirror at the sensual woman that looked back at her. Her eyes gleamed as the mirror told the tale of it all. She was in her element now. A look into the mirror showed her eyes as the past washed over her thoughts. That time spent with Mike was time she would never forget. "So you're a porn star?" Nadine asked quietly. "Star, producer, distributor and director," Mike replied back. Mike leaned against his desk and crossed his arms. The black button up shirt he wore had the top two buttons undone so that his chest muscles showed through. His blue jeans were not tight, but loose fitting so that they rested on his hips and lent to his body's image. Mike's face was firmly fixed on Nadine so she could see his expression without anything being hidden. "I hope that doesn't bother you," he said quietly. "I don't think it does, but can I ask...?" she asked confused, but stopped herself not wanting to be rude. "What do you want to now?" he asked back. "Why are you...you know..." she asked. Mike smiled and chuckled a bit understanding her questioning. "Why did I get into the industry?" he said. Nadine nodded her head. She looked at him trying to read his face, and it was easy to do. "I had no real options when I got out of the SEALs," he replied. Nadine's confusion was immediate. She looked at his office and saw all the awards and the weapons in the office that looked like something she would see a special forces operator carry. Her face showed genuine confusion. Mike saw her expression and decided to lay out a bit of his life for her to help her understand why. He raised his leg and bent it back and forth so she would look at it while he flexed it. "They called me squeaky for a while," Mike said jokingly. Nadine laughed at the crude joke unexpectedly. Her laughter was a cross between actual humor and pure shock that he just said that. Seeing he had her attention in a more positive light he went on. "You have to remember, I may have all that training and proficiencies in all things tactical and special forces like, but that really means nothing in the big bad civilian world. I also had a little issue that a lot of people couldn't ignore," Mike said as he set his leg down. Nadine gave him a saddened look as she remembered his knee. "You see, I tried to join the police force after I got out, but I was declared medically unfit. I tried the NSA, CIA, FBI, and just about every agency that has letters as their name. All my applications came back to me the same way. Believe me, I've looked for all I could, but little came my way," Mike said somberly. "But why?" she asked. "Who could say? I tried to pan out my SEAL training for employment, but it got me nowhere. I wanted to make something of myself when I got out, but I lacked what the big employers want. So for me it was either I get a job or watch my kids starve. When you have two kids, a small VA check, and no college, it limits what you can do," Mike said as he sat fully on the desk. "Is that why your second wife left?" Nadine asked. "No, she left because she was a strung out junkie," Mike said to remind her. Nadine looked down at his feet, but Mike would have none of that. He tilted her chin with his fingertip so she would look at him and went on. "It was after I was out of the Navy that she started using. At first it was just a little pot, so I let it go. But soon, and I mean in record time soon, it got more and more into other things and I couldn't let that go. She stole my pain medication and even tried to steal my prescriptions before I got them," Mike said and Nadine's eyes began to waver. "All her time at work was spent hanging out with her new buddy that also became her dealer and pimp. I tried to help her, but she didn't want my help. She blamed me for all that happened to her because she had to step up and do something for herself. When she had to work to help support her family and herself was when she decided she needed a crutch," Mike said and looked at the wall. The conversation was getting to him, but he really had nothing to hide. Mike took a deep breath and left it out. The quick respite made him feel better so he went on. "She ran away one night with that fucker and I never thought I would see her again. When she was gone three months I filed for abandonment and won the whole thing. She lost all rights to the kids and I had to pay her nothing," Mike said and his face showed nothing as he went on, "It was six months after she ditched us that a friend of mine showed me a newspaper clip of her obituary in Las Vegas from a pain medicine overdose," Mike said and his eyes never wavered. Nadine touched his hand softly and he smiled at her. "For a time I thought of going back to Montana with the kids, but there was less work there so I had to stick it out in LA somehow," Mike said softly. He shuffled on the desk as he got to the heart of the matter. "I took a job at a strip bar as a bar tender and a bouncer," he recalled. "It was as good as I could get really at the time so I stuck with it. While I worked there I got some small consultant work here and there, but it was a simple five grand and done work that didn't last long. Most were simple "Hey Mike, can you look at this new toy? We think it'll be the next super weapon" or "Mike you gotta see this man! This gun is the shit and we need your opinion." I would look at whatever it was, play with it a bit, give my opinion, get paid, and be done. Sometimes not in that order, but more or less that way," Mike said and laughed a bit at the thought. Nadine turned in the chair to look at his face. She saw his eyes were full of humor as he thought of something. "What's so funny?" she asked not getting the joke. "Hmm? Oh I was just thinking of how it all began," Mike said and a huge grin spread across his face. "OK," Nadine said back interested at it. "When I was working at the bar I wasn't really making all that much," Mike began. As he did he stood up and walked to the side and turned back around to face her, "I met a dancer who was a good earner with the club and we started dating sorta," he said. "You dated a stripper?" she asked suggestively and her eyebrow raised. "Well, dated isn't the word for it. We hooked up and actually made a thing for a while. We weren't a sex couple, just a living arrangement kinda thing. She moved in with me and it was a huge relief. I had the kids and was trying to scrape by. But when she was helping out around the house life got a lot easier. She and the kids got along great so it was a good arrangement for a while," Mike said getting off his desk. He walked over to his fridge in the side by the tables and opened it. He pulled out two bottles of water and walked back to Nadine handing her one as he got to her. Nadine took the bottle and he sat down next to her. "See, what I didn't know was she was moonlighting to make extra money. She did small scale work for a minor director in LA. When I found out I was surprised by it. I knew she made good money as a dancer, but I had no idea she was into porn. We talked about it and she offered me a job with her filming company. At first you could say I was reluctant. I couldn't see myself in that light. It was about a month later when I needed to make some more money for Tony and his upcoming school year, I said "What the hell" and took the plunge," Mike said chuckling at the crude joke he put in on purpose. Nadine caught the joke and slapped her forehead. Her laugh was from the belly as Mike smiled down at her. "Well, I did my interviews, took my pictures, had an audition, and viola I started up in the industry as an extra. It took me a good while for anything to really take shape for me. I had to work my way up to where I got to and it was no easy ride let me tell you," he said. "How come?" she asked. "Well for a guy it's easy to get into it as you only have to do what comes naturally to us. In the industry that isn't so much the case. You show up, have to get hard with a full cast of people around you staring at you. Then you have to keep it up and have sex with a woman you don't really know in front of all those same people. To make it more fun you have to start and stop as the director says, change positions and keep it up, keep going with a camera guy up your ass getting close up shots, and let me tell you that light SUCKS!" Mike said the last word emphatically. "The light?" she asked. "Before they found a new form of lighting in digital cameras and the likes you had to deal with the older model cameras that had enormous lights on the top of the camera. When you are busy doing your thing the camera guy would get in for a close up and the light would be shining brightly on your soft spots. It gets very uncomfortable after a while," Mike said chuckling. Nadine was wide eyed and open mouthed as he told her that. She had an image in her mind of that happening and she shuddered. "That's half the reason most guys in porn have no pubic hair anymore," Mike said laughing loudly. Nadine laughed as well as the crude joke sank in. She had tears coming from her eyes as his voice was something she couldn't place. It was a cross between a stand up comic and a man telling his life story. She wiped a tear as he went on. "Though I did get even with a couple of asshole camera guys in my time. I farted in one guys face when he wouldn't get that goddamn camera off my nuts. He bitched and moaned for that, but you know what he backed off," Mike laughed. "Oh my god!" Nadine exclaimed and started laughing again picturing Mike doing that to someone. "Something funny?" Mike asked his face showing confusion at Nadine's laughter. Nadine laughed again at that and Mike stopped talking. He waited for her to get over her laughter a few minutes later and went on. "But of all of everything I had to do in the industry the biggest thing was just making something happen. It doesn't happen overnight," Mike said. "See it's not like you can just walk into porn and say "Look I have a big dick and I can do this, now make me millions!" The real stars are the ones who can make it over a good deal of time on the set," Mike finished. "So how long have you been in it?" she asked. "Bout eleven years now. It was a slow start for me. I worked at the club for a while and did a few shots here and there, then I got a lucky break and made a film that was a big seller with a few good stars. It was when I got really into the scene that I was able to break off and start a small scale project of my own and things began to flow into place for me. It took four years of hard work and lots of blue pills before things made sense for my label," Mike said and smiled thinking of it. "So you did all of this for your kids?" she asked him. "Yup, if it wasn't that I needed the money for them, I likely would have gotten a second job or something. But I was lucky that I got a good break," Mike said. Nadine looked down and thought about it all. She could understand his motivations for it, but the fact that the nice guy she had helped move in was a porn star. She had another thought go into her head and before she could stop herself she asked another question. "So Melina is also a star?" she asked. "Yes, she is on my label now and that's useful to the both of us," Mike said with a happy smile. "So how do you two make it work? I mean I don't think I could tolerate it," Nadine said speaking her mind. "It's never easy, but we have a common footing that keeps us together," Mike said. "Common footing, oh the kids right?" Nadine said seeing the only link. "You would be right. We decided to stay together for the kids. Marcos and Luis are great kids and deserve a good chance. So we made a deal to keep work at work and here at the house it is us raising our kids in a good home," Mike explained. "So that's what you meant by complicated," Nadine said and her eyes were big. "Yup, but that's just the tip of it all really, Tony and Carey, my oldest, are also my priorities so I have a full life of mad confusion," Mike said chuckling. "I can imagine," Nadine laughed. She got control of herself and went on, "So how did you two come of being?" she asked. "Melina was working for a producer that I knew back when I was starting off. Everyone in the industry hated him because he was a scumbag. I couldn't stand him because he jipped me for money from a few scenes back when. He used his women like dogs or worse and mass produced cheap and really bad quality stuff. I met her on the set of a smaller film I was directing and we clicked. She dropped a hint that she wanted to get out of his production so I negotiated her contract with the guy and with a "savvy" bit of negotiating I was able to get her deal and bring her to my label," Mike said and when he said savvy he used his fingers to enunciate it. "Savvy?" she asked. "I threatened to sue him, or kick his ass, I didn't leave a preference to which. He was a weasel dick so it was an easy thing to make happen," Mike said chuckling. Mike drained his bottle of water and stood up. He went to his fridge and got another. He shook it for Nadine, but she still had half a bottle. He stood up and opened the new bottle and Nadine tilted her head. "So how did you guys...you know?" she asked. "Well, she got pregnant on the set. We did a check of a few things and found out it was five guys and myself that were likely candidates of paternity. All of the guys bitched out on the test when she was able to find out who was the father. So I said fuck it and took the test. Comes to find out it was mine so it made sense to me. She moved in with me and we started a plan for her," Mike explained. "Started a plan?" A plan for what?" Nadine asked. "Meli doesn't want to do porn her whole life. So we started her up in school and getting her a portfolio so when the kids are more of age if she wants to find a new path in life she can. But for now, she loves it with me and the kids. Besides she told Tony if he doesn't have a date for his senior prom she would go with him," Mike said laughing and Nadine joined him. "But I don't think that'll be necessary because he's a stud." Mike said beaming with fatherly pride. "He seems like a good boy," Nadine said thinking of how he was at the party and the few times she saw him around the neighborhood. "He is. Shit he's gonna be better than his old man I think," Mike said with a grin. Nadine smiled at the grin and he went on, "The only thing that worries me is he wants to join the navy and be a SEAL like me. I'm touched by that, but I won't let him do that," Mike said softly. "Why not?" Nadine asked confused. "If he wants to be a SEAL and is serious, then I will help him with everything he needs to do it right. I'll train and train him for it. But I wont let him enlist it the Navy, he's going to college first. Then, when he is an officer, he can join up and go for the SEALs," Mike said thinking of his own failures. "So he can have a better chance later on," Nadine understood. "Exactly. The SEALs are a great thing, but it's not for everyone. I've seen pro athletes go in and not make it. But I've also seen guys that were five nothing and a buck nothing make it through because they had what it takes. Believe it or not, it's not all physical, it's a state of mind," Mike said and Nadine nodded her head. "So from the SEALs to porn huh?" she said and actually laughed despite herself. "Yup, from a commando to a smut peddler," Mike joked back. "So you said you were an investor though," Nadine said. "I am, in fact that is where a lot of my money comes from. My mom taught me how to invest from an early age. When I was growing up my mom and dad scrimped to make ends meet, and when you have five growing boys to feed, they had to look to other means. My mom found the other means and taught me how to spend money to make a good return," Mike said and pointed to his file cabinet. "So what else do you invest in?" she asked. "Whatever turns a profit really. Though I have a few investments that won't surprise you. I invest in local clubs and real estate, plus I have some stock options in a few major weapons firms that I did a lot of work with back in the SEALs. Me and a buddy of mine co own a custom cars company that fixes up old cars and restores them. I also have a part ownership of a king crab fishing boat in Alaska. That actually makes me a decent return," Mike said and Nadine tilted her head in confusion. "A fishing boat?" she asked incredulously. "Yup. It's a good boat with a good crew that fishes all year round so it always makes good money," Mike said back. Nadine's eyes were wide and blinking at him rapidly. She shook her head and laughed at that. Mike got up and walked to his cabinet and opened it. He fished around the came out with a thick folder and opened it. He produced a few documents that showed he was indeed a forty percent holder of a one hundred thirty foot fishing boat. Nadine was in shock at that, but for some reason she couldn't shake the thought of Mike fishing. She began to laugh and her head hit the desk as her arms came to her head. Mike looked down at her and watched her laugh for a while. While she laughed he put the folder away and sat back down next to her. Mike had a sudden grin on his face as Nadine got the laughter out of her system. He had no idea why she was laughing at his choice of ownership, but he had a little plan to get the laugh under control. "So when did you find out about my profession?" he asked. Nadine's face went from happy to bashful in under a second as she remembered the reason they were there. A slight blush came up her neck to her cheeks as she looked down. Mike noted the expression change and went further into it. "Well?" he asked playfully. "Umm, a little while ago," Nadine answered honestly. "So let me guess, you were surfing the net and suddenly there I was with a woman?" he asked again being very playful. "Well no, not exactly. My friend showed me the clip," she said and tried to hide the blush that was coming up again. "I see, so what scene was it if I may ask?" he asked and leaned closer to her and was not surprised by the heat he felt radiating from her body. Nadine's eyes got wide as she looked up to see his grinning face very close to hers. Her mouth opened a bit, but she turned away from him and Mike chuckled softly, but devilishly, at that. Nadine's shaking fingers went to the keyboard and she tapped up the site that Stephanie had shown her. The image of the scene came to life and Mike looked over her shoulder at the screen and he smiled brightly. He remembered that scene so very well. "Ah yes...that one. That was a fun one I recall. She was more into it than I thought she would be," Mike said simply. Nadine turned to face him and her eyes were wide that he was so blunt with his explanation. Smiling Mike leaned towards her and put his cheek on hers and his hands came around her to the keyboard. Nadine sucked in a breath as she felt his body so close to hers. His fingers typed out a web site and hit the enter key. Nadine tried her best not to shake as she felt the stubble on his cheek brush against her smooth skin. She held her breath as he slowly pulled away from her and a small part of her wished he hadn't. Nadine closed her eyes briefly and opened them up as she heard the screen come to life with some music. When the screen stopped loading a very well made web site came up with a logo that she had never seen before. It showed a group of horses running across a field with flames coming from their hooves and manes. The top of the screen said Stable Productions. By the Horns Ch. 03 "This is my site. This is where we sell and market our videos and images," Mike said and leaned away from her body. Nadine shuddered a bit as he moved away from her. His cologne was very subtle and it lingered in her nose for a few seconds after he left. She turned back to the screen and Mike clicked a few options with the mouse and a list of stars of the company was in front of her eyes. Most of the people she hadn't recognized from the party were on the list as were more she hadn't seen before. One of the names that she saw was Melina's and her eyes looked closely at her screen picture. The picture showed Melina wearing a very nice black and purple nightie that barely covered her ass. She was leaning forward teasingly and her hair and makeup were professionally done. She didn't look slutty, more classy and naughty all at the same time. Nadine was impressed and scrolled through more of the images. She saw the name she remembered he used and clicked on it. Mike's picture came to life and showed him wearing a pair of gray business pants with no shirt so his hard body and tattoos came out proudly. The belt and zipper were undone, but showed nothing other than his navel area and the top of his lower abdomen. Nadine looked along the screen and she saw the pictures were very classy and made all the stars and starlets look appealing and very model like at once. She noted that there were so many different people in the screen from Black men and White men to a few Latino and Asians the men all had a similar appearance. They all looked like they were no stranger to the gym or at least to exercise. The women all were very very attractive and from the pro care taken from their hair and makeup they looked trim and well balanced. She could see a few likely had corrective surgery or enhancements done, but not to make them over the top. Mike waited for a few then he got the reaction he wanted as a familiar face from the party came on the screen. Talindra Desire's picture came to the screen and Nadine's eyes bulged as she saw her as she liked to look. The tall woman was wearing six inch stiletto heeled boots and a tight black and red corset. The tops of her knee high boots had gold buckles and the straps that led from the corset were garters that hooked to black fishnet stockings. Her left hand held a riding crop and her right hand had a leash that was attached to a collar of a smaller Hispanic man who was on his hands and knees before her. She had her left boot up on his back and her expression was very demure. Nadine's eyes popped open and her jaw went slack as she saw the woman from the party that she thought was very pretty was now before her eyes and the look she had was terrifying, but she couldn't look away. "So that's my company," Mike said and Nadine looked to him. "Wow," was all she could say. Mike laughed a bit at that. She was looking back to the screen and Mike suddenly heard his phone ring. He picked it up and looked at the screen. "Speak of the devil," he said and answered the phone, "Hey. Yes I'm home, why? Oh you need to talk, that's cool. When did you...? Oh now. Yeah I can talk. Let me get dressed and....oh your here now. No your not...." Mike said and suddenly he heard the dogs barking. Nadine looked up and Mike was staring at the door to the office. "Oh shit she is here!" he laughed. Nadine looked at him confused, "Who?" she asked. Mike's answer was to point at the screen to Talindra and Nadine's eyes bugged out. She frantically hit the back button and got the image of Talindra off the screen. Mike chuckled and got off the desk. "Be right back," he said and went to the door. "Should I leave?" Nadine asked. "Nah, just hang out. Feel free to look up more porn, I insist," Mike said and laughed. Nadine's jaw dropped open and a laugh came to her as he left the room. She laughed a few times and shook her head. She looked down at her lap, but her eyes instead saw her shirt was showing high beams. She sighed as she realized they were very sensitive at the moment and the thought of Mike so close to her made a shudder wash over her. She scrolled back to the picture of him and looked at it. The expression he had was non assuming. He didn't pose really, but how he stood showed his character more than anything else. Nadine was unaware that she had a visitor in the room when she suddenly felt a warm wet feeling on her arm. She jumped and looked down to see Thor panting at her after licking her arm. She laughed and scratched him behind the ear. He leaned into her leg as she sat and flopped into her as she found the right spot again. He groaned in pure bliss as she continued to hit the spot. His back leg began to kick like he was going to scratch, but he didn't as she got the new spot. Nadine laughed as Thor let out a loud moan and flopped to the floor. In a flash he bounced up and began to shake his body. She sat on his haunches and tilted his neck to he could scratch himself and after a few scratches he shook one more time and came to Nadine. He put his head on her leg and panted happily. She patted his head and heard voices from down the hall. "Yeah we have a good set up coming from the buyout, but we'll only get the four instead of the five we originally negotiated for. Seems the fifth wanted a new contract with Vivid," Mike's voice said. "That fucking bitch," a stern woman's voice said. "Yeah well what did you expect? I didn't want her here anyways so we dodged a huge bullet with her. She would wanted us to up her salary and truthfully she isn't worth it," Mike said as he came back in. Mike entered the office as did the same two women from the party. Talindra was very tall Nadine noticed. She was wearing simple riding boots with no heel and she was easily close to six feet tall. The woman who walked with her was the other woman from the party she didn't find the name of. While Talindra looked very casual in her boots, jeans, and tee shirt, the other woman wore a nice conservative business suit of cream color with nice heels to match. She carried a briefcase and like at the party she was pretty in her own right. The ladies saw Nadine and Talindra remembered her from the party. A smile came to her features and it had a hypnotic effect to Nadine. The way her eyes dazzled in the light was very intoxicating. "I remember you. Your the cutie from the party," she said with a very strong voice. Nadine heard the simple words, but the sheer power in her tone was something she couldn't ignore. It was a cross between very matron-like to what she envisioned a executive would have. "Hi, I'm Desiree and this is my wife Tamara. You must be Nadine," she said and extended her hand to Nadine. Nadine was stunned she knew her name and stood to give the woman her hand. The shake was very formal, but she could sense an underlying current of energy behind it. The other woman shook her hand as well and they sat down after the formalities were out of the way. "So Nadine, looking at our enterprise are we?" Desiree said smiling. Nadine looked back to the screen and shut it off not realizing Mike's picture was still up. "Oh why did you take the nice picture down? Do you know how hard I had to badger him to take that?" she pouted and Nadine's eyes bugged out. "Oh come on know. I took it didn't I?" Mike protested. "After I threatened to have Melina stop making you your favorite meal for a year," Desiree said laughing. "Always busting my chops..." Mike grumbled and Desiree laughed throatily. The laugh washed down Nadine's spine like a velvet glove. She shuddered from it and couldn't understand why she was feeling like that. Her legs were shaking as was the rest of her. Desiree happened to see her and looked to her. "You alright sweetie? You look a bit nervous," she asked with genuine concern. "She's just nervous with her idol sitting across from her," Mike teased and Nadine instantly blushed. "Mike! Be nice to Nadine!" Desiree said in a matron-like tone. Nadine laughed at the way Mike went from playful to quiet. Desiree heard the laugh and looked dead at Nadine and the laugh stopped suddenly. "And what are we laughing at?" she asked as she crossed her legs very lady like. "Um...well I...um," Nadine stammered and Desiree laughed again. "I'm just teasing you," she said and Mike chuckled at that. "She does this a lot you see. But then again, the office would be a very boring place without her," Mike said and got from his chair. He walked behind Desiree and gave her a peck on the cheek. Desiree tilted her neck so he could kiss her cheek and when he was done he went to Tamara and sat down next to her. "If you'll excuse me I need to go over some things with my lawyer, you can stay or go your call," Mike offered. "Well if it's private I can go," Nadine said meekly and Desiree took note of the tone. "No, stay, I insist," Desiree said firmly and Nadine looked at her. The way Desiree was looking at her was something she had never seen before. Desiree stood up and for some reason Nadine stood with her. "I think I'll go take the dogs out back Mike," Desiree said and Mike nodded his head. Looking back to Nadine Desiree tilted her head, "Shall we?" "Um....OK," Nadine said unsure of what was going on. The two of them walked away form the room and towards the living room. Along the way the dogs all came to the two of them and Desiree led them outside. The way the dogs just ran to her and obeyed without question shocked Nadine. Desiree didn't say anything other than snap her fingers and the dogs hopped to and ran out to the yard. Along the way Desiree unfurled the umbrella that was over the bench that she had sat on with Mike at the party. "So, I see you haven't run screaming from Mike and told the whole neighborhood of what he does," Desiree said simply. "No, it's not my business," Nadine replied. "That's a good answer. So, tell me Nadine, why are you here asking Mike to show you what he does I wonder?" Desiree pried and Nadine blushed. "Oh I see, a good little girl that met a big hunky porn star and is smitten with him," she teased and Nadine couldn't help the blush. Desiree laughed playfully and patted Nadine on the arm. Nadine actually laughed a bit at the joke, but deep down she couldn't take her mind's eye off of Mike and the scene she had seen before. The way the thick woman was being manhandled by him was something she didn't want to admit had gotten to her. She didn't realize but her face was lost in thought. "So on to a better subject, how are you doing?" Desiree asked. "Oh I'm OK I guess," Nadine said and Desiree could tell she was being less than truthful. Desiree decided not to dig so she let it drop and changed topics. "Well, next weekend I expect to see you at my birthday party," she said seriously and Nadine looked up. "Your birthday?" she asked. "Well yes. My birthday, you know the day I get a year older," Desiree teased and Nadine laughed "Well of course I can come if you want me to," Nadine offered. "I just said so," Desiree said laughing and Nadine felt silly. "God, you're so cute," Desiree teased and Nadine blushed. "Umm," Nadine tried to answer, but was dumbfounded. "Well I think I've embarrassed you enough for one day," Desiree said laughing and got to her feet. Nadine watched as the woman went to one of the balls on the floor and began to play with the dogs. Nadine watched her and couldn't help but look at her with a sense of wonder. She saw how strong Desiree seemed and it made her begin to wonder. A part of her admired how strong she was. A large part of her also wished she could be as strong as she was. Nadine watched as she had the dogs chasing the ball and it was fun seeing the dogs being so playful. A long time passed as they watched the dogs play. The sun was at it's end and night was coming about when Nadine's phone went off. Nadine sighed as she reached into her pocket and pulled it out. Looking down she saw it was an email from Trevor. She had a curious look on her face as she opened it and a link was on it. The top of the email made her curious as she saw it was sent to more than a dozen people aside from just her. She opened the link and a video began to play. She noted the time and it was maybe twenty minutes ago. Nadine looked close at the images and what she saw made her mind almost shut down. On the video was a dimly lit strip club and Trevor was dancing with some white girl she didn't recognize. Looking close at it she saw the woman was hanging all over him and he was doing nothing to stop her. The way the two acted was very unsettling to her, but what happened next was just the last straw. The woman was giggling as Trevor grabbed her by the ass and squeezed it. The woman was actually grinding her body along his and Nadine's eyes bulged as he said something she couldn't hear and the two left the club floor to the back. Nadine's eyes had a sudden influx of tears in them as she watched the man she married drag a cheap floozie away to the back of the club. The person with the camera was laughing as he followed and when he got there he cheered his friend on as the woman had her head in his lap and was bobbing away on his dick. Nadine's gasped as she watched the woman sucking him off and he was showing more emotion for it than he ever had from her. Desiree heard the gasp and looked to Nadine and what she saw made the hackles on her neck stand on end. She walked over to the younger woman and what she saw made her head tilt in confusion. The screen of her phone showed a skinny rather plain looking blonde woman sucking on a man's dick. The look on Nadine's face was one of pure anger that looked ready to explode. "Nadine?" she asked and Nadine looked up in tears. "Oh no," Desiree said as she realized what would likely make her tear up like that. Desiree's face suddenly took a turn that Nadine had no reason to why. The sorrow for her was there, but and deep coldness filled her eyes as she sat down next to her and put her arm around Nadine's shoulders. The feeling of the strange woman's arms was actually comforting and Nadine's tears came out as did a loud sob that caused her to lean into the arm and she broke down crying. Desiree curled Nadine to her side as the tears began to drench her shirt and Nadine's phone slipped from her grasp. The arms of the smaller woman were in her lap as she sobbed and Desiree softly spoke words of comfort to her. The tears did not stop and even the nearby dogs stopped playing when they heard the sounds of Nadine's pain. Thor came forward and looked at his new friend and tilted his head. He saw the pain in her face and for some reason he knew she needed comforting. Slowly he trotted up to Nadine and put his head on her hands. Nadine felt the soft fur and her eyes opened to see the big dog just sitting with his head in her lap. He didn't pant, just sat still and her hands found his fur as she got a fistful of his jowl and held it. Thor looked up to her and she let go realizing it would hurt him. Desiree patted Thor who got from Nadine's lap and trotted away. Nadine got the sobs under control after a while and just sat still next to Desiree. Desiree slowly began to stroke her back in slow circles and Nadine sighed into her as it relaxed her muscles. It was during that time that Mike happened to the yard wondering why they had been out so long. He looked over and saw the sight before his eyes of the two of them so close and his eyes slowly narrowed as he took in the situation before him. He saw the phone on the floor and the way his three dogs sat nearby and quietly at that made him concerned. He strode up to the two and when he got to the front of them he realized something bad had happened. "Nadine?" he softly whispered. Nadine's pain filled eyes looked up and that was all he needed to see. A slight grimace came to his face as he put two and two together. A slight pall of anger also crept up and he had a slight impulse to go hunting. However, his better nature kept that impulse under control as he sat down next to Nadine and put his hand on her shoulder. When Nadine felt his big hand on her she looked over to him and she had tears running down her cheeks. The sob she had under control came back and Mike saw it. "No, no, no...shhh," Mike said softly as she turned to him and began to cry again. Mike took her in his arms and held her close to him. His body began to rock like a father would rock a child that was upset as he softly spoke to her. His words were soft and comforting as he promised her he would be here for her if she needed it. Nadine nodded her head in his chest and was shocked when Desiree hugged her from behind as well. Nadine felt surrounded by the two most unlikely people in the world at that moment. She couldn't understand why these two people were being so nice to her at all. She wanted to ask them why, but her anger at Trevor prevented the words from being formed. "Nadine...Nadine," Mike said softly to get her attention. Nadine looked up to his warm eyes and she noted a firmness behind them. "Let's go inside. We can talk more if you want, or you can do as you wish," Mike offered. "Thank you," she got out between gasps for air. Mike stood up slowly and kept his arm around her shoulder. Desiree stood as well and held her the same way on the other side. They walked into the house and to Mike's office. Once there they found Tamara at the computer typing something. She looked up and saw Nadine and her eyes got wide. "Are you OK?" she asked suddenly. Mike shook his head quickly to silence her and that was all it took for Tamara to give a pained expression. Mike led Nadine to the couch in the side of the office and sat her down. Tamara came over and between her and Desiree, Mike knew Nadine would be fine. Once they were sitting Mike went back to the yard and quickly found her phone. He saw the file was still open. On a hunch he hit play and watched the video for a few seconds. He watched the scene unfold before his eyes and began to chuckle. "Fucking amateur hour," he spat as he walked back to his office. Along the way he forwarded the email to his account and strode into his office. Mike walked in quietly as Nadine sat back and dried her eyes. Desiree held her hand and Tamara sat quietly next to her. Mike sat at his desk and pulled up his email. He put the email up and hit play. Desiree looked at him curiously as he pulled out his glasses and began to look at the screen. Desiree's expression suddenly shifted as she knew that he only had those glasses on when he was directing or editing films. "Mike?" Desiree asked confused. "This was shot on a fucking iPhone. I mean really, they could have used a Samsung," Mike laughed mockingly and Desiree looked at him incredulously. Nadine looked up at him in confusion as he watched on. He snapped his fingers as if he had an epiphany and went on. "I know this bar. Oh fuck it's that dive piece of shit "Angels". Its in Glendale," Mike said recognizing the bar. Mike shook his head when he thought of Trevor going to that place to do what he did. A part of him wanted to mock Trevor for doing what he did, but he needed to retain some tact for Nadine. Mike knew very well of the club from his early days in the industry as they got many of the low rate talent from there. Aside from that Mike knew the many other things that the bar was notorious for. "It's a Florida for strippers and a breeding ground for junkies," Mike said derisively. Nadine's eyes got wide as he said that. Tamara also had a wide eyed expression as Mike said that. The wheels spun in her mind as she came up with a plan for Nadine in a micro second. Mike looked to the screen and the skinny blonde then to Nadine. He shook his head as he compared the two and laughed a bit. His mind spat an insult to Trevor for choosing such a worthless comparison to cheat on Nadine with. By the Horns Ch. 03 "I figured he'd choose someone with a bit more to offer, not some trash junkie that couldn't hold a candle to you," Mike spat and took of his glasses. He scoffed and stood up. His own pain of a junkie wife came to him for a brief instant, but he shoved it aside. His pain meant nothing as it was in the past, all he cared about at the current moment was the sweetie he lived across the street from. "I'm so sorry Nadine. If I can do anything to help you, and I mean anything, just ask or say and I'll do it," he said and pulled up a chair in front of her. Nadine nodded her head and looked down. She felt angry as hell, but surrounded by three people that she barely knew that showed her nothing but compassion in her dark time made her feel a lot better. Some of her wanted to call her mom, but her mom would only make her more angry by bringing up why she should listen to her more often. Another part wanted to call Stephanie, but she knew that Stephanie wouldn't be able to help as much as they had thus far. She looked at Mike and a fire was in her eyes as she came to her own conclusion. "I want him gone," she said and her voice was filled with spite. "Then I can help you honey," Tamara said softly and patted her hand. "How?" Nadine asked and she snapped a bit. Tamara understood her anger and spoke before she could apologize. "My good friend and school mate is a very good divorce lawyer. I can call him if you..." she began to say, but Nadine stood up and her eyes burned. "Call him now! I want him gone!" Nadine said fuming and her hands clenched at her sides. Mike stood up and nodded his head. He handed Tamara his phone and she placed the call. Mike looked to Nadine and saw the anger there. "Do you want to stay at your house or do you need a place to stay?" he asked. Nadine looked to Mike and nodded her head. "OK then, let's get some of your stuff and bring it over here. I doubt he'll have the balls to try anything with me," Mike said confidently. Nadine nodded her head and walked to the door of the office. Desiree and Mike walked with her to her house and when they got there Desiree took Nadine by the shoulder and made her look into her eyes. "Don't destroy anything or he can whine in court. Just get your things and let's go," she said firmly. Nadine nodded her head and they trio entered her house. Mike stayed closer to the door of the bedroom as the pair loaded Nadine's suitcase with her clothes and toiletries. It took a very short amount of time before the bags were packed and with Mike's help they were back across the street in his house and safe. Nadine was shown to the spare bedroom and she put her clothes away. Desiree helped her and the two were quiet the whole time. "Thank you," Nadine finally said to her as they finished unpacking. "For what?" Desiree said softly. "For everything," Nadine whispered. "It's nothing baby girl, it's nothing," Desiree said and stroked her cheek softly. Desiree leaned forward and gave her a peck on the cheek and when she pulled back Nadine had a bit of a smile on her face. "I see a smile on someone's face," Desiree teased. Nadine let out a bit a choked cough that had a smile in it. Desiree had a warm matronly smile on her face as she took Nadine's hand and led her down the hall to the dining room and dinner that Melina had brought home with the kids. The kids greeted Nadine warmly as they all sat down for dinner and Nadine noted there were three more children at the table. She said nothing of it, but the kids looked just like Desiree and Tamara. The twin girls were very much Tamara's children as they had similar facial features to her. Their hair was long and done in corn rows with beads on the end of the braids. The other thing Nadine noted was they had mocha skin. The other boy that sat with them was very strong featured like Desiree. He had dark skin like his mother, but his eyes were not deep brown like hers. They were much lighter and his hair was not thick like his mothers. His hands were large and his lanky form showed he was going to grow big and tall. Nadine looked at the two young boys that she knew were Mike and Melina's and it dawned on her. All the children at the table had features to their father who was dishing out food to the chatting people. Nadine's mouth was slightly open when she felt a tugging on her arm and looked down to see the youngest boy Luis tapping her. "Can I have that drink?" he asked sheepishly in Spanish while pointing at the jug of tea next to her. "Oh, si," Nadine said and poured him a glass. Nadine watched as the boy looked down at his glass and picked it up. He sipped a lot of it down and Mike tilted his head. "Luis, forget something did we?" he asked in an amused fatherly tone. Luis set his glass down and looked away. Nadine had no idea, but he was blushing fiercely on the other side. Mike got up and his smile was wide as he walked to the boy. "He gets bashful sometimes. I'm surprised he asked you for a drink," he said chuckling. Mike came to the boy who jumped from the chair and put his arms around his dad's neck. Mike laughed as he caught him and he spoke to the boy in Spanish to calm him down. "Es hijo de ok, ella no lastimarte," he said softly and Nadine understood it. "I won't bite," Nadine said laughing a bit and the little boy looked at her, then ducked his head back to his dad's shoulder. "Oh," Mike grunted and laughed as his son hugged him tightly. "Venga aquí poco un," Melina said as she got up and smiled brightly at her son. Luis opened his arms to his mother and she strained as she picked the little boy up. "Your getting too big for this Luis," she teased in Spanish. Carrying her son Melina went back to the seat she had and Luis began to be a bit more social. Nadine chuckled as Melina ate and fed him a bit of his meal that one of the twin girls handed to her. The happy grouping had a great meal and many things were spoken of as they enjoyed the company. After dinner was over they all broke to different areas of the house. Mike and his oldest went outside with Desiree's son. The younger boys went to the TV and started playing the Wii. The ladies went to the office and spoke in private with the twins leaving Nadine all alone. She got up and went outside to see the boys playing catch with Mike. They tossed the ball around the yard for a while and after a bit Mike saw her watching them. He had the boys go check on the younger kids and Nadine wasn't surprised when they both acknowledged him as dad. Mike spun the football in his hands as he walked towards her. With a grin he tossed it underhand to her and she caught it cleanly. "So you don't catch like a girl," he said grinning. "No," she said and threw it back to him regular style. Mike laughed as he caught the surprisingly fast throw. He tilted his head in an impressed manner. "You know you can stay as long as you want," mike offered. "Thank you," she said back. Nadine was passed tears at that point so she had nothing left to do but sigh. "I know it hurts, but you can get through this," Mike said reassuringly. "It does, but I think it's not hurting much anymore," Nadine said truthfully. "Tamara got a hold of her friend. He can meet with you any time. Just bring the email and he can get it done for you in a month no problems. Hell I can even cover his fee if you'd like," Mike offered. "You don't have to," she said softly. "The offer is there regardless," Mike said and tossed her the ball. Nadine caught it and looked at him curiously. "Why are you helping me? You don't even know me," Nadine said and tossed the ball back. "Let's just say, it's my nature," Mike said warmly as he caught the ball. "Plus I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I knew you were in need and I could help. Call it my upbringing," he said smiling. "And you're passing that to all your kids?" she asked back. "Everyday," Mike said grinning. "So they are all yours?" Nadine asked. "Yeah. Devon was not one we were expecting," Mike said speaking of Desiree's son. "What?" Nadine asked curiously. "Like Meli, Desiree got pregnant on the set. She met Tamara a few months after she had him and the two clicked. They got married after like three months of dating. I know it's nuts, but eight years later they are the happiest of any couples I have ever seen," Mike said smiling. "That's sweet, but Tamara's as well?" she asked. "Well, Tamara wanted kids as well. They talked about it and decided to go the artificial route. Tamara decided to have kids that would have similar features to Desiree's son so they asked me to supply the juice," Mike said. "So you two didn't, you know," Nadine asked. "No, no,no. Tamara doesn't like men at all. Me and her are just friends. While she is one of my best friends, she and I would never get together," Mike said laughing a bit. Nadine didn't say anything else. She was about to get lost in thought when Mike tossed her the ball again. She caught it and laughed as she threw it back. They tossed the ball back and forth until the boys came back out and the game got more fun. The game became a four way circle as they threw the ball and made each other work for catches. As time does it flew by for the happy group, but the night came to a close. Desiree and Tamara gathered their kids and left after wishing Nadine the best. Melina put the young ones to bed and Tony and Carey went to their rooms. When all the kids were in their rooms they all went to the living room and sat on the couch with Nadine in between them. Mike and Melina sat up with Nadine and neither said a word, they didn't have to. Nadine knew that she would be amongst friends and that was all she needed. Mike put his arm over her shoulders as did Melina and Nadine simply enjoyed the warm embrace of the two as her mind drifted to a happier place. By the Horns Ch. 04 So sorry for the delay in my offerings. Life has been one game after another of fun and excitement, he he he. Actually got things back to normal, so to speak, so hopefully things flow smoother. As for this tale enjoy the show kids and keep in mind i have two other tales to go so keep an eye open. Vote, comment, enjoy what you see, and maybe there will be more. As her eyes came back from focusing on the sight before her Nadine could only smile at the reflection. The way the skirt and lingerie made her look was something she was not getting tired of seeing in the mirror. The work she had put in also had a part to play with what was before her eyes and now she had bigger plans. She padded over to the closet and began the hunt for the right shoes to wear and found them in the middle of her growing collection. Her thoughts traveled to the times that she found herself growing and the memories again washed through her. Nadine's night was hardly what could be called a good night of sleep. She rested more than anything. The images of Trevor's betrayal haunted her dreams and more than anything she knew that he would likely try and blame her for it all. The night was not helped by the constant blowing up her phone went through with Trevor's calls. She didn't answer them and set her phone to voice mail. In a way she was more than a little amused that she was across the street from him, but he had no idea. The room she got was on the opposite side of the street so it faced the backyard. She laid in her bed and sighed as she finally got something that resembled sleep. The next morning she got up in a daze as the alarm went off earlier than she would have liked. Nadine took a quick shower and dressed in simple clothes. Without waking anyone in the house, she hoped, she left for work. Being able to get her car without Trevor seeing her made her feel better, but a part of her was fuming that he was feigning ignorance. She listened to all his voice mails and all of them had the same line of "Where are you?", "I hope your OK" and the likes. Nadine tossed the phone into her purse and let all the mails continue without listening to them. It didn't take her long to get to work and drudge in. Nadine pushed through work and kept unusually quiet with her tasks which concerned some of her co workers. No one asked her about anything so she let it go. It was at work she got three calls from Trevor that she promptly hung up. Nadine took an early day to get away from work before he came to find her and just dodged him as she was leaving. Nadine took a roundabout way to get home and in doing so avoided him, but her luck wouldn't last. It was after she went home that she found his car waiting in the spot and him in the doorway. Steeling her resolve she parked in front of Mike's house and took a deep breath as he came running toward the car. For all her life Nadine had always tried to defuse situations as best she could, but today something was very different. A wire that kept her mind running coolly had been crossed with a hot wire that was ready to explode. The anger in her welled up from somewhere she never knew was in her as she watched her cheating husband come toward her like nothing was wrong. Angrily she opened the door and the dour look on her face told the whole tale as she stood in front of her car and slammed the door shut. The sudden anger in her features actually caught Trevor off guard as he slowed as he got to her. "What are you doing parking here? Your house is over there," Trevor said pointing at the house. "Not anymore it's not," Nadine said and the ice in her voice was apparent. "What the hell are you talking about?" Trevor asked confused. "What the hell am I talking about?" Nadine echoed back incredulously. "Yeah. What the hell are you talking about?" Trevor asked back trying to act big. Nadine saw through his act and scoffed loudly. She dismissively waved her hand and turned to walk away from him, but Trevor's hand snaked out and grabbed her arm. The blazing fire in her eyes tore into Trevor's eyes as she did something she never thought she would do. Her free hand lashed out and caught him fully on the face. The echoing slap sounded like a sonic boom that ripped through the air. Trevor was caught fully off guard by the slap and it sent him staggering away from her as he hadn't ever imagined Nadine would hit him. Trevor looked up at her and the rage in his eyes was apparent as was the embarrassment of being hit by her. His hand rubbed his cheek as he took a menacing step towards her, but Nadine would not back down. "Who the fuck do you think you are?!" Nadine asked coldly as she crossed her arms and stood her ground. "What the fuck is your problem Nadine!?" Trevor yelled. "Mine? Fuck that, what is yours?!" Nadine spat back and dug her phone out of her purse. Trevor narrowed his eyes as she picked up the phone and opened her email. It took less than a second to pull up the damning evidence. When his eyes saw it they grew wide in shock. "Nadine I..." he tried to say, then he saw the woman sucking his dick and his friends laughing. "You what? You can explain yourself? Make this right somehow?" Nadine asked rhetorically. "But I..." Trevor started to say. "You know what? Fuck you! I wasted my life on you and your simpering ass! You whined and cried because you got hurt and couldn't be who you wanted to be. I stayed by you and sacrificed so much of my dreams and hopes for you. And what do I get for almost six fucking years? You fucking some trampy ass stripper in a sleazy drug den!" Nadine screamed at him and tears of anger filled her eyes. Trevor was left speechless as she threw her phone into her purse and turned on her heel. His mouth was wide open and locked there as he tried to form words, but none came. "You'll get the divorce papers by the end of the week. I don't ever want to see you again," Nadine said coldly and walked to Mike's front door. "No!" Trevor yelled and began to run towards her. "No?" Nadine said and turned to face him. "No! I am not ending this Nadine! I made a mistake, but that doesn't mean I don't want to be with you," he said and tried to grab her. Nadine shoved him from her as Trevor tried to grab and hug her. "Don't touch me you asshole!" she screamed. "No fuck that shit! You are coming home and that's final!" he yelled. Trevor grabbed her arm and began to twist it causing Nadine to yell in pain. It was as she screamed that the front door opened up and a looming shadow made them both stop as a very grim Mike stood in the door. His face was ice cold as he glared down menacingly at Trevor. The way his albino eyes tore into Trevor froze him in place. Nadine had never seen such malevolence in a stare before and it unnerved her as well. His gaze went from Trevor's face to his hand on her arm and without a word Trevor let her go. "Go inside," Mike said calmly to Nadine. Nadine was unnerved by the calmness in his voice, but obeyed. She went inside the house and Mike closed the door behind him. When he was sure she was safely behind the door he took three steps toward Trevor and crossed his arms making his biceps and chest stand out as he flexed for effect. For a long time he stood in front of Trevor almost daring him to try something, but Trevor was lost as he had no idea what the big man was planning. His cold eyes showed a promise that meant only pain or worse if he tried anything. The calm steady breathing the big man did also took the fight from Trevor. It was as he finally spoke Trevor realized who was in front of him. "Now where I come from, if a woman says she doesn't want to see a man again, he should take her advice and leave her be," Mike said in a cordial tone that again took the fight from Trevor, "Now I can understand you are upset with her, but I should ask you; Are you sure it's to make yourself feel better?" he asked calmly. "This ain't your business!" Trevor spat to Mike feeling anger wash over him at the condescending tone Mike had under the calm way he spoke.. "Oh no, but it is. You see you're on my property now, junior. What's more, you're disrupting my son's nap with your fucking yelling and I really don't appreciate that," Mike said in a cold tone his arms tensing making Trevor back up a step, "Now I'm going to be polite and ask you to keep it down and talk to her in a civil tone. If not, you can take your ass back to your house and cool down. Either way you have thirty seconds to make up your mind before I make it up for you," Mike warned. "Look man this ain't your fucking business!" Trevor yelled and brought his finger up to poke Mike. Mike stood by impassively as the finger descended. The moment it touched him and shoved into him was all the reasoning he needed to react. Before Trevor had a clue he was in danger it was too late. The same finger was the blink of an eye in Mike's hand being bent the wrong way. Mike simply engulfed Trevor's hand with his own and the grip allowed him to bend the finger upwards and toward Trevor. The pain immediately put him on his knees as Mike stood impassively over him. "Now that's what people enforcement call assault. I think it may be a good idea for me to tell you this, I am not someone you want to fuck with dude. It won't end well for you. Now this is your last warning, get the fuck off of my property, or I'll do some damage you won't walk away from. Comprende?" Mike said in a very simple tone. Trevor felt his arm being turned and was forced to his tip toes. Mike walked him to the edge of the lawn and with a deft shove pushed Trevor into the street. Trevor recoiled his arm and turned to face Mike, but the way he stood there arms crossed impassively made Trevor stop. The sight of the stone cold eyes and even breathing showed Trevor that the man before him was no foe to be taken lightly. "Get lost," Mike said without any emotion and turned about. Mike didn't even turn his head as he walked back to his house and opened the door. On the other side of the door Nadine stood by and she was shaking. She was certain they would fight, but the way Mike defused the aggression Trevor wanted to bring was something she hadn't counted on. Mike locked the door and with a snap of his fingers Nadine heard the sounds of the dogs running to the backyard. She happened to look at his face and like a switch his eyes went from cold and hard to warm and friendly. "You alright?" he asked quietly. Nadine nodded her head and walked to her bedroom. She was still upset, but she didn't want Mike to see her so angry. Mike said nothing else to her as she walked to the room she was using and sat on the bed. She had her hands in her lap as she sighed loudly. After a while of looking down she picked her head up and stared out the window at the dogs playing in the backyard. A part of her wished she could have a life like his, but the reality was she didn't she didn't have Mike's life. A larger part of her wished she could not feel what she felt, but she didn't have Mike's apparent ability to turn off his emotions. She sat and brooded on the bed for a long time. Nadine didn't recall when it happened, but she had rolled to her side and her eyes closed. She napped and really wished she didn't have to wake up. Sadly her eyes opened to an odd feeling. She felt something tickle her nose and when she opened her eyes Thor's big face was looking at her. Nadine let out a dumbfounded laugh as the dog tilted his head and suddenly licked her face. Nadine groaned as he did and rolled to her other side. Thor let out a playful bark as she did and began to wag his tail thinking they were playing. Nadine rolled to the other side of the bed and Thor sprinted across the room to her and when she got there he put his big paws up on her hips and began to lick her face several times. Nadine squealed as she tried to get the big lug off, but he was firmly planted. Thor continued to lick her face until Tony happened by the room to see what was going on. Seeing what Thor was doing, and being a victim of the same thing himself, he laughed and shook his head. "Thor kommen!" he commanded. Thor got off her lap and rushed to sit before Tony. The young man patted Thor on the head and ruffled his ears a bit as the dog whimpered happily at his buddy. With a playful shove of his head to the side Thor ran off to the living room leaving Tony alone in the hall. "Sorry about that," Tony said scratching the back of his head sheepishly, "He likes to play when people are just waking up. It's just one of those things he does," Tony apologized. Nadine wiped her face and laughed a bit at the explanation. "It's OK. I just wasn't expecting a big dog to lick me when I just woke up," Nadine said and got up. She went to the bathroom and washed her face. It took a few seconds and she felt better. Drying off she waked back to the hall and saw Tony was walking to the living room. When she got there she saw the young boys playing the Wii and his sister doing her school work on the table. What she didn't see was Mike or Melina around. Curiously she looked to Tony. "So where's your dad?" she asked. "Dad's had an emergency at work. He left me in charge while he was out, but I guess you are now that you're awake," Tony said and scratched behind his head thinking. Nadine laughed and shook her head dismissively. "No I don't think so. You know how to handle your siblings so you can do it," Nadine offered. "Gee thanks," Tony said off handedly hoping to get a break from being the baby sitter. "Quit whining Tony," his sister said from her book. "Shut it twig!" Tony retorted. "I am not a twig you bean pole!" she quipped back. "Coulda fooled me,"he said back and Nadine shook her head. The brother and sister had a few more insults go back and forth. Nadine was amused by how intricate they got with it. They never swore, only flung creative words at each other. After a few minutes of it Nadine had walked to the fridge and gotten a drink. She was about to walk back when a bouncing bundle of energy that was Luis went running by followed by an agitated Marcos. Tony had stopped arguing with his sister long enough to turn and watch the pair run off leaving a big mess in front of the TV. He sighed and went to clean it up. Nadine followed the two and was amazed that they ran upstairs and down it three times like they were playing tag. As she watched them playing she started to rethink he earlier wish of having Mike's life. She knew she could never keep up with the two young boys and was relieved that she was only a guest in his house. She sipped her tea and looked at the clock. When she saw it her eyes got big. She had fallen asleep nearly seven hours ago. It was now almost eight at night. As she started to panic that she had slept so long she heard the sounds of the car pulling in front of the house. Tony heard them too and when he looked down he saw the mess was cleaned up. He had barely put the toys away when the door opened and Melina came inside followed by Mike. He carried several bags that looked like groceries. As he made his way to the kitchen he saw Nadine was awake and smiled at her. "It lives!" he said in amazement. "Yeah," Nadine said chuckling. "Morning sleepy head," Melina said laughing. "Jeez, I thought you were going to hibernate you passed out so bad," Mike said as he set the groceries on the counter. "I guess I was tired," Nadine said and sipped her drink. As she sipped the kids from upstairs came rushing downstairs and mobbed past her. She moved her legs enough to not fall over as Luis brushed by her to get to his mom. Melina saw him running up and turned to him. She knelt down and caught him in her arms and spoke lovingly to him in Spanish. He happily told her of how he played the Wii and beat Marcos at a game they were playing. Melina smiled and hugged him tight at his accomplishment. The happy boy went on talking and Melina took him to the living room. "With me or his mom he talks ninety miles and hour, with anyone else he says a one line sentence and runs for his life," Mike said chuckling as he watched the two depart. "He'll get over it, I used to be shy when I was a kid," Nadine said softly. "You still are," Mike said laughing. "Hey!" Nadine said back. "It's the truth. But you're getting better you know. It took some stones to do what you did today," Mike said smiling at her. Nadine sighed as she remembered the encounter earlier. "Did he come back?" she asked quietly. "Nope. He got into his car and drove off. Likely he is gonna go whine or find something, or someone, else to keep his mind off things," Mike said seriously. Nadine looked down and her brow furrowed. The words were blunt, but she knew they were sadly the likely truth of things. While she appreciated the honesty, it was still a bit soon for it. What she didn't expect was a strong hand touching her shoulder making her look up. She saw his face was near, but he didn't move. His eyes just were strong and resolute. She knew that whatever, he would catch her back. "Help me with dinner?" Mike asked and she nodded her head. Together they went to make dinner for the mob. As she washed the produce Mike grinned and looked at her. "So this Saturday we have a big old shin dig you get to go to," Mike said. "Oh Desiree's party," She said back. "That would be the one. Now I know that you don't have clothes for the party, and for this one it's kinda specific for what you have to wear," Mike said grinning. "What's that?" Nadine asked confused. "It's a forties party. So we need to get you proper clothes for it," Mike said grinning. "Forties party?" she asked confused. "Yeah, is a throwback deal a lot of high end clubs do every so often. It's a theme that clubs do that mixes the forties and modern chic into a awesome party," Mike said as he stirred the pan of sauce. "Desiree was always into things from back in the day so we decided to throw her a forties gig at her favorite club in LA," Mike said and sipped the sauce. "So I have to dress in nineteen forties clothes? Won't I look silly?" Nadine asked. "Nope. Hell you might shock yourself. The forties were a bit more conservative, but it was also the start of the revolution for women with shorter skirts and pants. You may just find some stuff you'll love to wear out of this," Mike said as he tossed the sauce with a large vat of pasta. "Well I have a date with my girlfriend Saturday during the day. What time is the party?" she asked. "Starts at nine and ends at...well...fuck who knows," Mike said chuckling. Nadine laughed a the remark and nodded her head. "Good, then after you get off tomorrow you get to go shopping with Meli. I think she can hook you up good," Mike said with a sly grin. "I am not wearing anything too bad Mike," Nadine warned. "No...of course not," Mike said and winked. Nadine laughed at the remark and tossed the salad together. They threw things together and set the table with Tony's help. The meal was a warm affair as the whole group had a good time. Nadine ate her fill and when it was done she had a good time playing Wii with the boys. The good time that went by left Nadine in her bed sleeping soundly that night. Her dreams were not filled with anger, but they were manageable as she got a good nights sleep that night. The days of the week went by and when Friday came about Nadine had a nervous energy when she went to the store with Melina to pick up what she had found at the store earlier that week. The whole thing was more than a little naughty, but at the same time it was not distasteful. The entire thing was a one piece black dress that looked very hot when she tried it on. It left her shoulders semi bare like a cocktail dress, but went past her knee as was the fashion of the time. The heels she found were three inch pumps that had a peep toe that matched the dress with the same onyx color. By the Horns Ch. 04 Melina had found lingerie that wasn't period, but still fit the look of the gown. Nadine was more than a little shocked at the choice. She wanted to turn it down, but the way Melina gave her the look made her think twice about arguing. The black lace undies were boy shorts that were very cute that had a matching black lace garter belt. Sheer nude seamed stockings and a black bustier finished the package. Nadine took the packages from the store with Melina who also had similar taste in clothes. The two of them had a blast as they talked of many things. They also talked about Melina and Mike. To Nadine's surprise Melina did care for Mike, but she didn't go into their relationship as to her it was complicated. Nadine didn't press the issue as the found the last little things for the outfits and drove away from the boutique. They got dinner for the house after they shopped and when they got home the house was in shambles. Suitcases were everywhere and kids were running around filling them. Mike stood in the center of the chaos making sure that the youngsters were filling their bags with the proper items. Nadine was confused a what she saw and tilted her head. "I'll explain when we're done," Mike said. Nadine nodded and when the kids had their bags packed to Mike's specifications they had dinner. The dinner was full of fun, but there was an underlying energy from the kids. After it was done the kids went to bed and Mike sat in his office. Nadine walked by and saw him doing some paperwork. He looked up from his work and saw her walking by. "I hope you're OK here, I know things may be a bit odd to you," he said taking his glasses off. Nadine stopped and looked into his office. She shrugged her shoulders and walked in. Sighing she took the seat across from him. Mike closed the folder he was looking at and looked up at her. "It not as bad as it could be. If I go to my mother's she will make me nuts. If I go to my friend's Trevor won't leave me alone. I guess here it's safe," she replied. "I can understand that. If you want I know a few people that could help you find a place when you gets things settled," Mike offered. "I think that would be good. I don't want to intrude on you guys," she said softly. "I doubt intruding is the word I would use for it. Maybe an extended guest," Mike said smiling. "Thanks. So where are the kids going?" she asked. "Well Luis and Marcos are going to their grand parents. Seems they want to take them to meet the family back in Costa Rica. Melina is going with them the night after the party. Tony has football camp and Carey is going to my folks in Montana for a week. She has a chance to work with the forestry people. She wants to be an ecologist when she grows up. She loves it, I can't say I blame her," Mike said beaming. "So you'll be alone for a week then?" she asked. "Yeah, but I was thinking of going to Montana maybe. Or maybe to my property in Alaska," he said thinking. "Alaska?" she asked incredulously. "Yeah...I got a helluva deal on a plot out there. I also got a good house set up on it. All in all I have like four plots in a few states," Mike said as he stretched out. "How do you afford all this?" Nadine asked. "Well my money from the company is the base for my capitol. I also have money tied up in a ton of investments. So in all I turn a good profit. Sides, I am a thrifty shopper when it comes to land deals. You can get the land cheap, it's the taxes that suck," Mike said laughing. "I can imagine. You probably get breaks though right?" she asked. "Hell no! If the Republicans are in office I get taxed because I am what's wrong with moral order. When the Democrats are in office I get taxed because they call me the rich that doesn't pay his share. So in the end I get screwed more than my stars do!" Mike said laughing. Nadine caught the joke and laughed with him. The humor was well needed as it helped her mood. The two talked about his business and Nadine was amazed at how much he was responsible for. She also came to find out that Desiree was more than just a star, she was an large equity in the business. Desiree held a eighteen percent share in the company to Mike's thirty two percent. The rest was the man from the party she had seen with the young women. All the money Mike made was also put into various things that made him even more money. She was amazed at how organized and strategically he placed his finances. The conversation actually helped Nadine think of things from a new perspective. She thought about her own finances and compared what she had to what he did. She had a house, but she knew it was likely to be split between her and Trevor. She also had her car and not much else. Her mind thought of the variables of her finances when Mike stood up. He walked to his file cabinet and put the files away. Turning back to face her he smiled and held out his hand to her. She took it and he led her from his office. Mike closed and locked the door then led the way to her bedroom. "Sleep tight. We have a fun day ahead tomorrow," Mike said. "I will," she said and gave him a hug. Mike smiled and put his arms around her back. He held her for as long as she held him and when she broke it off he backed away. Nadine went to her room and shut the door and Mike went to his bedroom. Nadine stripped for bed and crawled into it. The warm blankets engulfed her and she lay there for a few minutes thinking. She pondered asking Mike if he would help her set up a portfolio of her own. As she weighed it the idea had merit. She smiled as she curled on her side and slept a good night sleep. The next day started with the mass exodus of the kids to their various destinations. Mike explained to Nadine he would take her to the appointment she had with Stephanie. Nadine accepted the ride, but she found the condition was to come with him as he dropped everyone off. Mike took Tony to the bus for the trip to the camp. After that he dropped the young ones off with the grandparents. He took some time to spend with them and when he was done he dropped Carey off at the airport. On the drive back he drove her to her appointment with Stephanie. Stephanie knew of what was going on with Nadine and she decided to not talk about it for Nadine's sake. Instead the two found themselves being pampered by a talented pair of manicurists. "I could get used to this," Nadine said as the artist did her magic with Nadine's nails. "Agreed," Stephanie said sighing. Nadine sighed as the woman completed her finger nails and began the pedicure. She had never had one before so the sensation was new, but enjoyable. Rarely had she ever been pampered and the time she was having was a good one. Stephanie looked to her friend and saw the closed eyes and knew that she was enjoying herself. "We should do this again I think," Stephanie offered. "Next week?" Nadine laughed and Stephanie agreed. "Sure thing sweetie. So what are you doing tonight?" Stephanie asked. "I am going out with Mike to a party for his business partner," she replied and let out a pleased sigh. "You're going out with Mike?" Stephanie asked shocked. "Well him, Melina, and his friends. It's his partner's birthday party tonight," Nadine explained. "Wow, open invitations?" Stephanie asked. "No, it's a themed party. Forties or nothing," she replied. "Wow, retro," Stephanie said and laughed a bit. "That's what she wants," Nadine said and sighed as she felt the warm water wash off her feet. The two sat back as the heavenly artists completed their tasks with nothing else said. They enjoyed a facial as well. When they were done Nadine felt great. Her skin felt very soft and touchable. On a hunch she had the artist paint her nails, fingers and toes, in a sensual red. Looking at them she admired the job the woman had done. Stephanie paid for the both of them and tipped them all well. As they were leaving Nadine was shocked when she saw Mike's Mustang rolling up to pick her up. "Wow...a chauffeur too," Stephanie laughed. "We have to be at a certain place at a certain time. It works for all of us," Nadine said. Mike parked the car and sat waiting for Nadine. He didn't rush her, but she knew that time was essential. Nadine looked to her friend and gave her a tender hug. Stephanie smiled as she hugged her best friend for a long time. When they broke it off Nadine gave her a peck on the lips. "You know your my best friend," Nadine said smiling, "Don't feel bad when I don't call." "I know, I'm glad we're good still," Stephanie said softly. "We were never bad Stephanie," Nadine said and smiled her bright smile. The two shared another hug and Nadine walked to the car after it broke. She got in and Mike started the engine up. Stephanie waved to her friend and Mike waved back with Nadine. They drove out of the lot and onto the on ramp of the freeway. Mike showed Nadine the power of his car and Nadine squeaked as he gunned the engine. The speakers came alive as a song Nadine never heard kicked on. The bass of the song was heavy and the lyrics were very haunting as she listened to it. Slowly she found herself bobbing her head to the song. "Who is this?" she asked. "Chevelle," Mike said. "Isn't that a car?" Nadine asked chuckling. "It's where the leader of the band came up with the name," Mike replied. "Oh, well what is this song, I kinda like it," Nadine asked. "It's called "Get Some", " Mike said as he turned it up for her. Nadine listened to the loud hard bass as the song hit the bridge and was blown away when the end came and seemed to throb the car. "So do you only listen to rock?" she asked. "I listen to whatever doesn't annoy me, or suck," Mike replied. Nadine laughed at the honesty of it all. Mike didn't pull any punches and she was starting to appreciate it. Finally she had met a person who didn't hide from how he felt or what to say. She looked to Mike and was curious of something. "So what's going to happen tonight?" she asked. "Well we'll get there about eight thirty. I have a few details to set up before she arrives. The party will start at eight forty five and then at nine Dez will arrive. The party will turn into a happy affair from then on. At nine thirty we are gonna give her the cake and sing to her. Then we give her presents. She wont open them at the club as there's gonna be a lot of them. After that I have a special surprise for her, but if you utter anything to her I'll skin you alive," Mike said smiling darkly. Nadine's eyes got wide as she heard the threat and she laughed a little in a scared tone. "It's a special deal I have for her, let's just keep it at that," Mike said smiling in a mysterious light. Nadine shook her head as they got off the freeway and drove into the neighborhood. The car pulled into the parking space in the driveway and Mike killed the engine. He unlocked the doors and got out and looked across the street. Trevor was in his car and looked like he wanted to say something. However, when Mike stood tall and his eyes scanned across the way he turned over his engine and drove off. Mike led Nadine to the house and Melina was at the door. Nadine barely had a chance to come in when Melina snatched her by the hand and took her off to begin getting ready. Mike laughed as he watched the pair go up the stairs. He didn't have as much to do as they did so he took care of the small things while the ladies got dressed up. Nadine was rushed to the shower and her and Melina began the arduous task of preparation. After a nice shower Melina had her in the bathroom to begin working on her hair. Using a flat iron she permed Nadine's hair straight and tied it into a ponytail. She worked on her own hair and had Nadine do her makeup while she got her mess of curls under control. After a half hour Nadine and Melina had their make up and hair done and Nadine was amazed at how she looked in the reflection. Her lips looked very kissable as the red lipstick made them seem much more pouty than normal. Her big eyes seemed very doe like as the blue high lights made them stand out like brown diamonds. Melina was not bashful of nudity around anyone and dropped her towel. Nadine was a little hesitant, but Melina gave her little choice as she popped her on the ass with her own towel making Nadine drop her towel. The two had a fun time of dressing when Melina was done laughing from that. The task ahead was made fun when Melina put on her MP3 player and the room was flooded with upbeat dance music that got Nadine in a fun mood. The ladies put on their lingerie and Nadine was shocked at how it made her look. She had never worn stockings before and the sight of them being held up by the cute garters made her look at them as a possible long term wear. Melina and her put on their shoes and once that was done They each pulled on elbow length gloves. Melina's dress was a sexy blue so her gloves matched. Nadine's black dress was accompanied by black gloves. Once their jewelry was in place Melina got out the dresses and one at a time the ladies helped each other into them. Once Nadine was zipped up she took a second to look in the mirror and was nearly floored at the sight that greeted her. The dress was an amazing sight that took her breath away. The way the whole ensemble added to a whole was something she would never had believed possible. She looked ultra classy, but at the same time sexy as all get out. Her figure was highlighted by the gown and it made a very alluring hour glass. Melina walked up behind her and the look on her face was one of being thoroughly impressed. "You do cut a figure," Melina said softly. Nadine was still in shock and nodded absently. Melina gigged and kissed her cheek. "Come on mami, let's take some before party pictures," Melina said in an eager tone. Nadine and her spent the next twenty minutes having a blast and taking fun pictures. Several were just her posing, many were of the two of them posing together, and a few were of Melina. The two were laughing after the last picture when they heard a knock at the door. Melina jumped to her feet and sashayed to the door. She peeped out and smiled as she saw the dashing man at the door. Mike wore a very high class suit that made him look like James Cagney from one of his many mobster movies. He had a blue pin stripe suit with a vest under the coat. A crisp white shirt was under that and a red and gold tie peeked out from under the vest. It was held in place by a diamond tie pin and matching cufflinks. When Melina opened the door Nadine saw in his left hand her held a very old school fedora. When he looked in the room and saw the two beauties ready to go he grinned and put his hat on to the side like a mobster of old. He smirked at Nadine and pointed at her. "Here's lookin' at you kid," he said in his best Cagney impersonation. Nadine smiled at the remark and did a turn so he could see the whole look. Mike let out a loud whistle. "Good lawdy!" he exclaimed and Nadine laughed loudly. Melina laughed as well and brought the camera to him. She rapidly spoke in Spanish to him as she showed all the pictures and Mike nodded his head in an impressed manner. "You definitely cut a nice figure Miss Nadine," Mike said and tipped his hat to her. Nadine's bright smile was a genuine one. She took the compliment in stride and as she did the camera clicked one more time. Nadine laughed as Melina gave a victory smile and put the camera away. "Well now my lovely ladies, it seems you both are in need of a gentleman to escort you to the ball. As I know of none, would you permit me to do the honor?" Mike asked as he offered his arms to them. "Well if I must," Melina said teasingly and took his left arm. Nadine laughed and took his other arm. Together they walked down the stairs and to the door. Mike opened the door and when they went to the front a limo was waiting for them. "I am not driving tonight as I plan to imbibe quite a few of the occasional cocktails," Mike said smiling. "Means more fun for us!" Melina said laughing and took Nadine by the arm. The driver held the door for the ladies and when they were safe inside Mike entered. The door shut and Nadine was suddenly very worried. She was about to go to a party that likely was going to be wilder than anything she had ever known before. She was shaking a bit and Melina saw it. Seeing her friend needed a relaxer she found the cabinet next to her and saw a bottle of wine inside. She opened it and poured a glass for Nadine and held it to her. Nadine took the glass and when she was about to sip it Melina poured a glass and clinked it to hers. "Here's to a great night mami!" Melina said in a bubbly tone. "To you too," Nadine said and sipped her wine. Melina sipped her wine and leaned into Mike's shoulder. She was very relaxed looking as she sipped her wine. Mike leaned back into the chair and closed his eyes. He sat lost in thought leaving the two to have more time alone. "So you ready for this mami?" Melina asked. "Yes, no, I don't know," Nadine answered honestly. Melina giggled a bit and sipped her wine again. Once she was done she looked at Nadine and her eyes shone in a strange light. "Just whatever happens mami, have fun. Don't think about it," Melina said in a very sensual tone. "What do you mean, whatever happens?" Nadine asked back with a bit of trepidation. "Let's just say there are going to be a lot of hot people at the party with a lot of alcohol. This is a by invitation only party, so it may get a bit....fun," Melina said smiling hungrily. Nadine heard that and she got a bit worried. She looked to Mike who opened his eyes and smiled at her. "What my little ball of "can't handle her liquor" is saying is; it's for Stable personnel only. No civies allowed. There may be a bit of adult fun to be had tonight. Just if it happens I hope you don't get too put off by what you see," Mike said softly. Nadine nodded her head and sipped her wine. She thought about what Melina had just said the rest of the way to the club. The arrival of the limo was far sooner than she would have liked, but she had little time to worry now. The door opened and Nadine took her first shaking step into the big bad world. While not an A list occasion the club had a large amount of security. The bouncers opened the rope for the group as they walked arm in arm to the door. Once inside Nadine's eyes widened as she saw the crowd of nearly a hundred fifty plus people. She knew that not all of them were stars, many were the production team and accounting staff. She was impressed that so many of them would show for the party. Mike was immediately set upon by the people in attendance. He shook many hands and kissed many cheeks as he walked to the office part of the club. Melina took her to their private booth and they sat down. Nadine was very nervous as she looked along the bar and took in the panorama of it all. The club was fairly large. It could easily hold she guessed maybe four hundred or so people on the floor and maybe two hundred more along the sides. She noted the upper floor was a VIP lounge and bar. They sat along the stairs, but as soon as Mike came back they went up stairs. Mike was talking with the owner of the club and the two seemed to be old friends. They joked as the owner and him went over the paperwork for the night. "Jesus, remind me to have a barbeque for my next birthday," Mike joked. The club owner laughed at that and the two signed off on all the forms. Once it was done Mike led the ladies to a nice booth and they sat down. A waiter came up and they ordered drinks. Nadine and Melina got another glass of wine while Mike got a scotch on the rocks. The three of them got their drinks and sipped them leisurely for a while. Mike looked at his watch and noted the time. By the Horns Ch. 04 "Well now, I get to go MC this event so if you ladies will excuse me," Mike said smiling. He got up and kissed Melina's lips and gave Nadine a kiss on the cheek. Nadine smiled as he did that and watched him go. "He has such a great ass," Melina said teasingly as she noted Nadine was lost in thought. Nadine bobbed her head as she hadn't heard what Melina had said. Then it dawned on her and she laughed loudly seeing Melina giggling like a school girl. She sighed and sipped her wine as Mike walked down the stairs and to the stage. The party goers there saw Mike take the center of the stage and pick up a microphone. He made sure it was on and when he was satisfied he walked to the edge of the stage. "Well now. It seems we have a great turn out tonight!" Mike said loudly amping the crowd up. The crowd cheered and applauded Mike as he stood on stage. Mike waved his hands in a downward motion hoping to make them silence. It had it's effect after a few seconds. He smiled as he looked out along the crowd. "Now I know that it's not my ugly face that brought you all here tonight," Mike began and a heckler shouted out silencing him. "Your damn right it ain't!" the voice said loudly making a loud chuckle come from the crowd. "And on that note good night everyone!" Mike said theatrically making the crowd boo him. He took the booing in stride and smiled. "But then again it did take a lot to make this night special. It took all of you showing up for a woman that means a whole hell of a lot to all of us. That same woman who happens to be off stage right now!" Mike said and the crowd began to clap and cheer. "So let's not waste anymore time or my breath by introducing the lovely lady whom you all came to see. You know her, you love her, and if your smart you bow to her before she gets out her whips!" Mike said and the crowd began to clamor loudly. "The lovely, Mistress Talindra Desire!" Mike said loudly and turned to the side. Nadine watched as Desiree walked on the stage with Tamara and her eyes bugged out. Tamara was dressed up like a mobster's doll. She wore a skirt and heels with a nice top. Her legs were encased in seamed stockings and she had her hair done up in a bun with a standing feather in it. She looked classy and very naughty all at once. Nadine couldn't help but see what Desiree was wearing. Desiree strutted on stage wearing a full on zoot suit. The wide brimmed hat was in a bright orange. The feather in the hat was red like the one in Tamara's hair. The suit itself was the same color orange with white pinstripes. On the front of it was a large gold chain that fitted out the ensemble. She wore not dress shoes, but stiletto boots under the pants. She strutted on the stage and came to Mike. She gave him a kiss on the lips and a big hug. After she broke the hug Desiree turned to the crowd and raised her hands to them. The crowd applauded and shouted well wishes to her. She bowed to them and stood back up to take the microphone from Mike. "Thank you all for coming! I didn't know you all cared so much, but then again say free liquor and let's see who comes out!" Desiree said laughing. The crowd laughed as did Mike. She got a coy look as she went on. "And don't think anyone here is gonna spank me! That's what I plan to do to my favorites tonight!" she said with a wink. The crowd laughed and applauded the remark. She knew she had them, but instead she wanted to get to it. "Now enough words! Dance dammit, this is a party after all!" she shouted and waved at the DJ. The DJ got to it and a mix of old jazz and modern dance flooded the club. The crowd began to hoot and the floor filled with a jubilant group of revelers. Nadine watched from her booth as the crowd got going and was amazed at how wild the crowd got in such a short time. She was stunned as they seemed to get into a very sensual groove in just a few minutes time. Melina didn't wait for her as she quickly went down to the crowd and joined in the fun. Nadine sipped her last of the wine in her glass and looked down a the group. She was about to get up when she heard steps behind her. "Quite a sight isn't it?" Mike's voice said over the music. "It's something," Nadine said softly. Mike sat down at the booth and looked across it all. He knew all the people in attendance so he had no real reason to not let Melina dance with them. She had worked with most of them at some point so he couldn't hold jealousy either. His eyes quickly found her dancing with Chad and he smiled. He remembered how close the two of them were so he relaxed. Instead his eyes found Nadine and he couldn't deny the beauty his eyes beheld. The way the dress melded to her curves was something else. Mike had seen many women dressed in far more provocative, but something about Nadine's look caught his attention. While he knew that she likely held little interest in him, he put a small parcel of thought in his mind. Instead of making a sloppy pass at her he decided to order a drink. The waiter was quick with his double crown and a new glass of wine for Nadine. Nadine turned to see the wine before her and smiled at Mike. He tipped his glass to her and they clinked and sipped. After they toasted Mike set his glass down. "Now instead of sitting here like a lump, why not go have some fun," Mike said smiling at her. "Well...I don't know...I..." she started to reply, but Mike cut her off. "Oh no you don't," Mike said grinning and got up. He was faster than he looked and had Nadine by the hand and somehow got her to her feet before she could protest. Nadine's mouth opened to say something, but Mike grinned wickedly and his hand reacted before he could think. The firm hand slapped off Nadine's thick butt and it caught her by surprise. She yipped as it hit her, but in her mind her libido went out of control. "Now get your cute little butt down there and have fun!" Mike growled and started to lead her to the stairs. "Mike I..." she tried to reply, but he gave her that same stern look he gave the woman in the video. "No buts!" he said sternly again. Mike quickly walked her to the steps and with a gentle nudge made her start to descend the stairs. As she went he pipped up one last time. "The only butts I want is yours on the dance floor! Now get to it!" he said chuckling. Nadine smiled as she surrendered to his wish. Nadine walked slowly down the stairs and walked to the dance floor at the bottom. She took a breath and before long the music began to take hold of her body. The fast beat and thumping bass made her hips come to life and before long the crowd had let her in and she found herself dancing with several of Mike's Stable. The way the men and women danced were at times foreign to her, but it didn't take her long to get into the groove. That and the shots that flowed from bar to floor made her an instant hit with the dancing crowd. The fuel of music and alcohol was something Nadine rarely had gotten to experience, but she quickly found it appealing. Her body began to come to life as the dance grooves found her in the middle of several of Mike's more attractive men and women as they danced and started to slowly shed their inhibitions. The crowd found a rhythm in the hard bass that thumped from the DJ's turntables. The fast paced music began to find an energy that began to flood the room. It was something that Mike couldn't ignore. He walked along the upper floor as he made his way to the stage. A smile washed over his face as he watched his people enjoying themselves as they currently were. Mike sighed in content as he came down the steps to the main stage and saw Desiree sitting in her chair watching the racious crowd. Several of the men had removed their coats and many buttons on shirts or dresses were finding themselves being undone. He chuckled as he walked to Desiree and saw she was comfortable sitting on her chair with Tamara laying with her head in her lap. "Always the voyeur are we?" he asked as he came astride her. "Aren't we all," she replied back evenly. "So it would seem," Mike stated and leaned against her chair. Desiree looked up to Mike and smiled at him. His hand patted her cheek as he looked at the clock and saw the time. "It seems after this song I have something to give you," Mike said smiling smugly. "Aw, you got me a present Mikey?" Desiree teased. "Yup," was all he said and began to walk to the stage. The DJ saw Mike walking to the stage and nodded to him. He didn't set up the next song as Mike picked up the microphone and waited. The song came to an end and Mike tapped the microphone getting the crowd to look at him. "So it's tradition at a party to have the birthday girl blow out her candles, but if we did that tonight the fire marshal would shut us down," Mike joked and the crowd laughed with him. Desiree gave him a sour look and the finger making the crowd laugh all the harder. "We do have a cake, but sometimes you can't have your cake and eat it so instead I have a present for you," Mike said smiling back to her. He waved his hand and the lights dimmed and a spot light shone down on a door. "So I remember there was one person aside from Tamara whom you loved more than anyone in the whole wide world Mistress Desire. One person that no matter how mean and cruel your lash was loved your tender mercies more than life itself. One person whom you always had a kind word for when no one else did. One person that broke your heart when he disappeared those long months ago," Mike said and the crowd listened to the speech and started to buzz. Desiree was suddenly worried as Mike turned theatrically to the crowd and went on. "Once he was lost, but now she is found and back for her Mistress' birthday and our own pleasurable company. Once she was known as Enrique, but now she is simply Erica!" Mike said and thrust his hand to the door and the crowd all looked that way. Into the room walked a very petite Latina in a classy dress and heels. She had a lithe, petite body and it took a long moment, then Desiree perked her head up. In a moment of clarity she was on her feet and rushing to the little woman. The smaller woman saw Desiree and teared up as she almost jumped into her arms and the both of them had tears in their eyes as they hugged closely. The crowd applauded the reunion and a few of them had tears in their eyes. Nadine was totally lost as she saw what was going on. She was so lost until a hand touched her making her look over. Melina was there and she had a teary eyed look on her face. Meli wiped the tears from her eyes and leaned over to Nadine's ear. "The little woman she is hugging used to be her favorite sub until they had a falling out. It wasn't the sub's fault that they split up. Desiree has been unhappy thinking of him, but Mike found out where he was. Mike found her in Thailand undergoing gender reassignment surgery," Melina explained. Nadine shook her head and blinked a few times. The world she had just walked into was one that she never would have imagined would go so deeply. As she got her composure back she looked up to see Desiree and the small woman laughing with Tamara. Mike was standing behind them all and after a moment Desiree turned and hugged Mike firmly making the crowd cheer and applaud. Melina was clapping as she began to cry again. The DJ started up the music again and this time the music was more laid back. The mood shifted from sensual to more relaxed and flowing. Nadine walked away from the stage and to the upper floor. She found the booth and took her seat. She was a bit tipsy from the shots she had earlier and decided to rest a bit. She ordered a water and slowly sipped it as she watched the crowd below. "Sometimes I find beauty in quieter places," Mike said softly. Nadine looked to him and smiled at the compliment. "You look great tonight," Mike said and sat down next to her. "Thanks Mike," she blushed and looked down. Mike sipped his drink and set his glass down. He looked over the crowd and as he did he saw Nadine shaking a bit. "Cold?" he asked. "No, just...I don't know," she whispered. "You don't know?" Mike teased. Nadine giggled a bit and was shocked she did. It was likely the booze laughing and she looked at Mike with bleary eyes. "Wow, already drunk," Mike said smirking. "No," Nadine protested, but in reality she was. Mike shook his head and smiled. "So then you'd probably laugh a lot if I did this," he said and his fingers found her bare skin. The sensation was too much for Nadine and she jerked and squeaked as his fingers found her sensitive spots. Mike smirked and his evil fingers found the spots again and Nadine began to flop around the booth laughing. She desperately tried to get his fingers away from the spots, but they were fast and well practiced in the arts. Nadine laughed and flopped suddenly as she was in his chest with her back against him and got hold of his hand and begged loudly to make them stop. "I give!" she pleaded laughing. "Oh you do do you?" Mike teased and his other hand came in from behind and found the same spots from the other angle. Nadine wailed in laughter as his fingers found her spots and did their devil work. "Mike!" she pleaded and Mike stopped. He was grinning ear to ear as she lay against him panting and laughing. "Well at least you're having a good time I see," Mike said and Nadine laughed as she nodded her head. Nadine was fully along his chest and she felt it. Her mind didn't care though as she was very comfortable and felt great. Mike's hand reached across her and found his glass. He slowly brought it to his lips and after he took a sip he set it to her lips. Nadine took a deep sip of his drink and swallowed it down. The fiery liquid burned it's way down, but it actually refreshed her. She exhaled and felt Mike's hand across her. To her surprise her body snuggled deep into his side and Mike smiled down at her. "Comfy I see," he said in a deep rumble. "Mmhmm," she purred. Mike leaned back allowing her to find a better angle. It didn't take Nadine long to find it. She was able to see the crowd enjoying themselves and as she peered along the crowd she saw Desiree and Tamara dancing with the woman. Curiosity overwhelmed her and she looked up to Mike. "So what's the deal with them?" she asked. Mike sipped the last of his drink and signaled for another round. He also made the gesture for another for Nadine as well. Once the drinks were secure he picked up his and sipped it then exhaled. "Erica was Desiree's favorite sub. They made some of the best scenes together and even had a small romance of sorts going. the picture you saw on the website was what he used to look like before he had surgery. Things were fine for a while before they had a falling out when Desiree and Tamara had a fight about them. Erica was really lost without Desiree and she disappeared," Mike explained. "Why was Tamara so mad?" Nadine asked confused. "Because Tamara doesn't like men at all. She was afraid that Erica was getting too close to Desiree and it was a bit of jealousy. In reality it was fear. All I can say is that she was afraid of the sub getting too close to Desiree and put her foot down. It was a few months later she realized how bad Erica was doing with out Desiree watching over her that made her realize how much she depended on Desiree. We lost touch with her and it was when a friend of mine went to Thailand on holiday he stumbled across her path," Mike said and sipped his drink. Nadine listened as he went on that Mike had gone to Thailand and talked with Erica. He explained that Enrique had sacrificed his manhood to be more accommodating to Tamara if only to be allowed back into Desiree's life. Nadine's eyes grew huge as she realized the depth that Desiree was worshiped. "Do all your people love her like that?" she asked incredulously. "Not all. But all of them respect and cherish the friend and confidant she is to most of them. A few of my guys and gals don't like her, but they respect her for who she is, namely their boss," Mike said the last part chuckling. "And you?" Nadine asked. "She is so many things to me. She is my best friend, she is the mother of one of my children, and most importantly, she is my moral compass," Mike said honestly. "Your moral compass?" she asked. "Yeah, I could have been an asshole like most I knew in the industry back in the day, but she keeps me in line. That and if I don't she nags me to death," Mike said laughing and Nadine chuckled at that. "Now if you must know something else. Desiree told me something of note regarding you," he said and Nadine looked back to him, "Desiree has a knack of seeing people and their potential. She is the reason we do so well with a lot of our dealings with people. See recently told me she thinks you have a lot of potential," Mike said and clinked his glass off hers. "I do?" she asked shocked. "Yup," Mike said simply. "And you?" she asked. Mike smiled in a dark light and the look in his eyes sent a shudder down her spine. "Well if you keep grinding along my leg like that I may think you want something from me," Mike said in a husky tone. Nadine didn't realize, but she had turned into him when he said that about Desiree. She looked down and realized she was indeed straddling his lap. Mike's smiling face was not very far from her as she began to shake. "Afraid?" he asked teasingly. Nadine's hands shook so bad that she put them in front of her and tried to get it under control. Mike's arms suddenly enveloped her and he pulled her close as he whispered in her ear. "There is a strong person in you that she saw. It's something she would like to see come out in you, if you let it," Mike said softly. Nadine heard his words and realized what he was talking about. He wasn't teasing her, he was trying to make her stand up. Realizing that she sat up in his lap and looked him dead in the face. "And what would you want from this strong woman?" she asked back. "It's not what I want, it's what you want," Mike replied casually. Before she could answer back he sat up and looked her dead in the face. "What do you want for yourself?" he asked. Nadine's eyes shook as she saw him not but inches from her and with a shaking body she leaned forward and claimed his lips with her own. It was just a soft kiss and nothing more, but her body cried out for more. "I think if that's what you want I can make good on more future requests," Mike said smiling. Nadine actually smiled brightly at that comment. She put her hand on Mike's cheek and he gave her fingertips a slight kiss. "Maybe we shouldn't do this," Nadine said suddenly and her eyes got worried. "We will or won't do whatever you ask for," Mike said softly and patted her back. Nadine didn't want to, but she got off his lap and sat back in the seat. She picked up her drink and finished it off in one swig. Once done she got to her feet and excused herself to the ladies room. Mike sat back in his chair and sipped down the last of his drink. He didn't have to drive for a change and ordered another. He smiled at what just happened and in his mind didn't mind if she wanted to do that again. Mike had rarely ever found a girl with lips so soft and those lips made him think. He sat back with his drink and pondered life and it's many mysteries. The party continued on and on through the long night and a great many sights came to Nadine's drunken eyes. She had drank more than she ever had and was feeling lighter than air after a while. The night's pleasures began to fill her mind as she danced and had a great time with Melina and Mike's friends. On stage Desiree got her cake and blew out the candles with Tamara. She also indulged the crowd by spanking someone thirty three times. The last time she slapped the victims bare bottom elicited a huge roar from the crowd. Desiree lifted her hands to the crowd and this time she descended the stage to join her friends on the floor. By the Horns Ch. 04 Time flew in a blur for Nadine as she danced with several members of Mike's stable. Her feet began to loose traction a bit as she realized her time was done. She slowly made her way up the stairs one last time to find Mike sitting in the booth with a water bottle in front of him. His tie was undone and he was relaxing. The whole time she was on the floor she only saw him down on the floor two times. Nadine didn't ponder the mystery at all, but instead plopped down next to him. She giggled a bit as she leaned on his side. "I think you're all partied out," he said softly and she nodded her head. Mike reached around her and patted her side making her cuddle into him tighter. Mike smiled down at her and noticed she was nuzzling his side as much as anything. He chuckled and suddenly had a wild notion pass through his mind. His finger found her chin and tilted it making her open her eyes and look up. Their eyes met and for a long time they stared deep into each others eyes. Mike saw a feisty woman that had been repressed for years and was yearning to be unleashed. A slight flicker in her eyes told him that and his mind resolved to take a risk. He leaned in before she could stop him or her and claimed her lips. Nadine couldn't stop herself this time and opened her mouth slashing her tongue along his lips before Mike could register it. His slow kiss turned into a wild and sloppy one that suddenly had an unexpected consequence. Nadine's libido turned on and wasn't to be denied this time around. She fully straddled his hips and her arms found locks around his neck. Her frantic kissing also made her hips began to grind uncontrollably. Mike was stunned at what was happening, but he relaxed as soon as he felt her mash against his body. His hands trailed down her back and slowly found her full ass. A strong squeeze made a throaty moan come from Nadine as she slowly kissing him. She shuddered suddenly and Mike was stunned further when he realized she had nearly orgasmed in his lap. Mike decided for her sake to make it a short night. He broke the kiss and Nadine whimpered frustratedly as he did. "Shall we leave?" he asked. She didn't answer with words, she exhaled and got to her feet nearly ripping him to his. Mike took her arm and led her away from the crowd. He went to the back of the club and to the back exit. As he was leaving Melina noticed and followed them at a distance. Nadine and Mike made it out of the club and were at the waiting spot for the limo. Mike noted Nadine was shifting uncontrollably and his own arousal began to fill his body with lurid thoughts. He grinned as he noted her eagerness and decided to give her what she obviously needed. The door to the limo opened and Nadine quickly got inside. Mike let Melina get in behind her and Nadine was shocked when Melina sat across from her. She was quiet as Mike sat next to her, but her libido was burning hot. Mike realized that Melina could make something hot and fun become even hotter so he got Nadine's attention before she could protest to anything. His hands grabbed a hold of her and yanked her back to his lap. Nadine gasped as she was in his lap with her back to his chest. Mike's stubble grazed along the bare smooth skin of Nadine's neck and shoulder as his lips went to her ear. "Shall we pick up where we left off?" he growled huskily into her ear and nipped it playfully. Nadine shuddered as his next nip was on the bare skin of her neck. She arched into him and Mike's hands slithered along her thighs and teased her stocking tops. Nadine whimpered softly as his strong hand teased her thighs expertly. She had never had a man touch her in such a way and it made her shake in his lap. Mike nipped her neck again making Nadine squirm further in his lap. Across from them Melina smiled darkly and decided to make her play. Nadine's eyes were clamped shut as Mike's lips went from her neck up along her jawline. She shuddered and sighed as his stubble caressed her cheek. His lips grazed along hers making her shake as his tongue invaded her mouth. The whimpers that came from her mouth intensified as she felt a strange pair of hands brush along her thighs. Her eyes never opened as Melina's delicate fingers traced their way up the front of her hungry body. Nadine shuddered and abruptly came as Melina's fingers traced the outlines of her diamond hard nipples. Mike felt the way Nadine shuddered in his lap and growled as he felt the blazing heat on his lap. Mike broke the kiss and as he did Nadine couldn't catch her breath as Melina's lips found Nadine's. Her eyes opened as for the first time she shared a lust filled kiss with another woman. Nadine's lips were closed for a while, but her libido made them slowly open. When her lips did open their tongues gently touched and she surrendered to the moment. Her mind lost all it's will to protest as her bodies desires came out. Melina was stunned as Nadine not only allowed herself the kiss, but began to return it with vigor. The way they kissed spoke volumes to Mike as he watched the display before him. The kiss was one that was very raunchy, but at the same time had a pure innocence to it. He realized that this was likely the first time Nadine had ever done something like this and decided to see where it went. For Nadine the world spun out of control as she and Melina shared a deep probing kiss. Their tongues played in each others mouths as they sought to find where the other was wiling to go, and it didn't take long before Melina took it a step further. Her left hand drew itself along Nadine's body and cupped her full breast making Nadine moan into the kiss softly. The gentle squeeze she did on the full orb made a shudder wash over Nadine once again. What shocked her more was when Nadine's hand grabbed Melina's and squeezed. Nadine's back arched in Mike's chest making him groan as he suddenly felt a blazing heat over his thickening cock. As her eyes were still closed Nadine's hips moved a bit back and forth as she felt the sensations of Melina's experienced lips devour hers and soft hand squeezing her breast. To make the feelings more intense she felt Mike's solid body behind her and a very thick and hard bar growing beneath her. What she saw in the videos was likely a camera trick in her mind, but as she felt it forming beneath her she quickly realized it was no trick. The next feeling she had was Mike's strong hands sliding up her hips and hiking her skirt up. It took a short time, but her stocking tops came into view as did her rapidly soaking panties. Once the skirt was a good distance up her hips Mike's hands stopped moving it up, instead they suddenly went south and teased her thighs and hips. Nadine felt his large fingers teasing along the front of her panties and she shook again in his lap and her breath caught stopping her kiss with Melina. Her head fell back and she gasped loudly as his finger brushed her flared out clit. Mike felt the reaction and his fingers didn't stop. Nadine's mind swam in her drunken haze as his fingers began to slip aside her panties and find her fattened lips begging for attention. Mike spared no time in giving her what she wanted. His fingers slipped along her dripping slit and exposed her fattened clit to the cool air and Nadine choked out a strangled gasp of pleasure. Melina saw the gasp and looked into Mike's eyes. The dark eyes filled her with his wish and she sank to the floor of the limo without a word. Once she was where she needed to be her tongue flicked along Nadine's dripping slit. The second Melina's tongue found her slit Nadine cried out and twisted in Mike's lap. The pleasurable jolt that shot through her made her spasm in his lap and deluge Melina's tongue with her nectar as she came furiously. Mike held her in his lap and Melina showed no mercy to her as she greedily licked and suckled Nadine's sopping hole. Mike decided to stifle what was likely to be a loud series of screams and his free hand caught Nadine's face and shoved it to face him and he claimed her lips again. The frantic, almost desperate, kiss that Nadine gave him was one he would never forget as she suddenly lost all her inhibitions. Her legs locked tight around Melina's neck and held her in place as she bucked and ground against Melina's well versed tongue. Mike felt his suit pants beginning to get very painful as her full ass ground fully on his steel hard cock. He was desperate to get it free of it's prison, but relented as he saw the house coming up. He somehow held himself in check and with a growl he broke off the kiss. "I think we are gonna have to take this inside ladies? What do you think?" he said in a husky tone. Melina somehow freed herself from Nadine's thighs and had the door open. Nadine did a fast shimmy off Mike's lap and eagerly rushed out of the limo as it stopped. Nadine and Melina made it to the door in a blur. Meli had her own key and opened the door so they could get inside faster. The ladies rushed inside and up the stairs without a word. Mike paid the limo driver and tipped him well, though he was sure that the show the lovely ladies had given him was likely tip enough. With a grin he began to walk to his house and as he did saw Trevor standing by his car and the look on his face was one of pure anger. Mike simply smiled darkly at him as he took his coat off. Trevor was shaking as he saw the dark look from Mike. Mike walked into his house without so much as a backward glance when he saw Trevor slam the door to his own house. He walked into his house and heard the frantic gasps and pants of Nadine and Melina upstairs. He had a show to see and didn't waste time in going up to his room. Once there he was greeted to the sight of Nadine face down on the bed with Melina on her back kissing her neck and shoulders. An evil smile spread across his face as he took off his tie and tossed it to the dresser. His shirt came off with a simple tug. Once he was topless he kicked off his wing tips and undid his belt. He slowly walked to the display and made his presence known by giving Melina a hard spank on her luscious ass. Nadine felt Melina's teeth sink into her flesh as the loud crack echoed along the room. The sinking of teeth was also met with a loud groan from Melina. It was as if Melina was on the verge of erupting herself by the sound of the moan. Mike grinned and leaned close to Melina's ear. "¿Qué, no puede compartir?" Mike growled to her and she shook her head no. Mike's lips met Melina's neck and she shook with pleasure as he kissed her favorite spot. His slow teasing was something that he knew she loved, but as it was he knew someone who needed release far more. His lips trailed along Melina's cheek to her lips then down to Nadine's soft earlobe. Once there he put his lips next to her ear and decided to play a fun game. "So what does my sweet Nadine need?" he asked teasingly. Nadine shuddered feeling his weight along with Melina's on her. The feeling also made her realize she was in a room with a man she knew would likely make her scream like she so desperately wanted to. "Don't tease me," she whimpered. "No?" he asked back wanting to make sure she knew what she was getting herself into. "No Mike! Please don't tease me!" she growled suddenly and Mike was taken back by the ferocity in her plea. "As you wish. Meli," he commanded. Melina wordlessly undid the zip on her zipper and slowly the dress began to peel off. Mike stood up and moved away as Melina did the same when it was open. Nadine got up to her feet and the dress ended up in a pile on the floor. Mike stood off to the side and watched as she turned and stepped out of the dress. All Nadine wore was her bustier, garter belt and stockings, and soaking boy shorts. Mike let out a breath at the sight and snapped his fingers. Before Nadine could stop the flinch she did she saw Melina undo her dress and step from it as well. She took off her long gloves and slowly walked to Nadine. Unlike Nadine Melina wore stay ups, so she had no garter belt on. Without a word Melina slipped to her knees and lifted Nadine's foot. She took off each shoe and when done she got to her feet and turned Nadine around. She undid the catch on the bustier and it slipped off her body. Nadine didn't hide herself, instead she turned around to faced Mike in all her glory. As she did his eyes got wide as he saw her large nipples and dark aureola facing him. He stepped forward and when he did Nadine walked to him. He scooped her up by her ass and made her put her legs around his hips. Their lips met with a fierce passion as the tried to eat each others face. As they kissed his strong hands found her ass and squeezed it hard making her mewl in his hands. He took several steps forward and sank onto the bed. With a wave of his hands Melina crawled along the bed and joined them. Nadine felt Mike shift so Melina could join them and as she did a hot mouth latched onto her nipple making her squeal into his mouth. The group continued their fun as Melina began to squirm on the bed getting worked up. Mike and Nadine simply kissed and let their hands play along each others exposed skin. The playing that they did on the bed became a bit more serious when Mike ground his crotch into Nadine and she felt the hardness in his pants rub her slit. He sat up suddenly and looked down at her. He smiled a dark smile as his hands found her hips and hooked into her panties. Without a word he slid them down and off her legs leaving her in her garter and stockings. Mike noted that Melina must have had a hand in what he saw. Nadine was trimmed tight and a small tuft of hair was all that was left. The sight made a grin come to Mike's face as without a sound her slid down the bed and his mouth engulfed Nadine's slit. Nadine's back arched off the bed and she rose up as his talented tongue slipped along her lips and teased her hole with maddening efficiency. Melina saw the way he was working and grinned. She knew his talent and decided to make Nadine feel much better. Nadine fell back to the bed and her legs wanted to lock around his head, but his strong hands held them open. She screamed in pure bliss as his tongue sank into her hole and teased her inside. Nadine felt a huge fire burning inside her and was panting as she felt a new sensation. He ass lifted off the bed and turned to her side as a second tongue found her puckered asshole. The overwhelming feeling made her climax like she never had before. The howls of pleasure ripped through the house and made Mike grin evilly as he heard them. With a growl his large digit invaded Nadine's hole and his mouth latched onto her clit. The sensations made Nadine buck her hips wildly as Mike thrust the finger slowly in and out of her. Nadine's head thrashed side to side as her hips wildly ground on Mike's finger. Melina heard the wailing and got a bit more creative. She licked her own digit and slowly teased Nadine's hole. For a long time she teased the puckered hole with her finger making the bucks that more wild. Once she felt the right moment she slid the digit into Nadine's ass and the feeling of the fingers teasing her from both holes made Nadine cum again. Wildly her legs twitched and spasmed as Mike and Meli worked in unison to drive her to newer heights she had never known before. The long minutes of them working their magic paid off for Nadine. The orgasms didn't stop as one by one she made a mess of their fingers and tongues as her glaze didn't stop flowing. Finally, mercifully they stopped and Nadine was treated to a show as Meli greedily licked Mike's lips and tongue to devour the essence that Nadine had so liberally glazed him with. They shared a dirty tongue kiss that made Nadine shudder as the two looked back up to her. Meli had a hungry grin on her face and like a cat she slunk up to her trembling lips and claimed them. Nadine sighed as she was kissed fully. She tasted her own nectar on Meli's tongue. She was enamored by the way she kissed her and slowly began to give it back to her. Mike watched the nymphs kiss and his own desires began to come closer to fruition. With a quick move he was over the both of them and his fingers undid Meli's bra. Meli shucked it off and continued to kiss Nadine. His fingers found the edge of her own lacy thong and slid it off her ass. Once the thong was were he wanted it Mike suddenly jerked Meli and she flipped to her back with her head on Nadine's tummy. She looked at Mike with scared eyes as he hovered over her. "¿Qué dije sobre el no compartimiento?" Mike growled and Nadine was taken back by that. "Soy el señor tan lamentable. ¡Compartiré!" Melina begged. "Bueno," Mike growled and kissed her with a fistful of her hair. Nadine was shocked at how he was suddenly manhandling her, but at the same time a part of her wished for the same. Mike's kiss of Melina was short lived as he ripped her to him and whispered into her ear. Melina eagerly giggled and turned over so her face on on Nadine's tummy. Nadine was worried for a brief instant as she felt Melina begin to lick her way back to her dripping slit. Her head fell back as the eager mouth teased her slit and suddenly it stopped. "Mami, I think Mike has something for you. Wanna see it?" she teased. Nadine nodded her head and began to sit up as Mike stood up at the edge of the bed. Melina crawled over to him and like a good girl she undid his fly and reached into his pants. Mike's eyes closed as he felt the soft hand on his raging member. His eyes opened as Melina pulled him free of his slacks and when she did she gave him a long slow stroke making him growl. Nadine watched in awe as Mike's dick was freed from it's prison and was now so close to her. Melina saw the eager gleam in her eyes and curled her index finger to her. "I think I may need some help with this mami. It's sooooo big," she cooed in a innocent school girl like voice. Nadine crawled over her body shaking as she did. When she was closer Melina took her shaking hand and brought it to the throbbing red and purple member. Nadine had never seen a man so well endowed in all her life. She had seen Trevor, but aside from him and one other guy, she never saw anything close to Mike. His cock was thick and firm in her hands, but the skin was soft to the touch. The radiating throbbing of the blood in it sent signals to her brain that made her slit begin to drip some more. "Well mami, like it?" Meli teased. Nadine's large eyes were firmly fixated on the pipe in her hand as she absently nodded. She could see now why Meli and Desiree liked him so much. She could also understand now why he was such a big hit on the internet. Almost without thought she leaned closer to it and when she was close Meli leaned in close to her ear. "Wanna taste it mami?" she purred into Nadine's ear. Nadine shook for a moment so Melina acted for her. Melina's tongue flicked out and licked the slit making Mike gasp and drop his head back. Nadine watched in awe as Melina licked him a few more times then took the head in her mouth. A slow suck punctuated with a loud pop made Nadine's mouth water. As soon as Melina was free of it her own mouth latched onto Mike's cock and he groaned as she lost her mind and began to suck on him like mad. Mike groaned in pure bliss as her soft lips devoured him and sucked him with gusto. Mike had received thousands of blow jobs in his life, but this one was in the top of all he had ever gotten. His hands gracefully found her head and slowly guided her to an easier path. Meli leaned in close and began to talk in very sultry tones in Spanish to Nadine. The dirty words spurred her on as she gobbled as much of his cock into her mouth as she could, but in the end it was too much for her. She choked him out after a minute of wild sucking. She coughed and sputtered as she almost wanted to vomit, but held it in check. Mike looked down at her and knew that she was more than ready for what was next. He looked to Meli and with a flick of his hand Melina moved and Mike exploded in motion. He snatched Nadine up by the arms and tossed her to her back. The world spun out of control in a blur for Nadine as she landed on her back and suddenly Mike was on top of her. His blunt cock head was threatening to rip her open, but he didn't move and inch. Instead he looked deep into her orbs waiting for her to take the plunge. By the Horns Ch. 04 Mike's eyes hypnotized Nadine as he looked deeply into her own orbs. She thought of her whole marriage and how it ended. She pondered what would happen if she did this and suddenly had something to explain to her mom. All those thoughts raced through her mind in the fraction of a second, but without any hesitation her legs locked around his hips and eagerly pulled him into her. She cried out as he slowly, teasingly inched his way deeper into her than she had ever felt before. The eternity of taking him into her depths made her eyes bulge and the fullness she felt as after an eternity he bottomed out in her. "Say stop and I will," he whispered into her ear. Seeing Nadine nod Mike began to push and pull his hips in a slow steady rhythm. His cock stretched Nadine out as she felt him touch all her sensitive spots and give them fire. Nadine shook as he began to pick up speed, but the shaking wasn't from fear. The shaking in her legs was not born of panic, it was born of the orgasm that quickly ripped through her body. Nadine cried out as the sensation tore through her being and Mike grinned evilly as she did. His pace never slowed as he lunged deeply into her hungry hole. His rhythm picked up in slow, maddening increments as he rocked in and out of her depths. Nadine shook and shivered as she felt him begin to really move. Mike suddenly hiked her up and flipped over so she sank down on him. He stayed on his knees so she wouldn't be able to touch the bed and began to pick her up and slam her down on his cock. Nadine squealed in pleasure as Mike did what she wanted. He looked to Melina who crept up behind Nadine and began to caress her body. Melina knew the ways of making sensations stronger and used all she knew on Nadine now. Her body pressed against Nadine's back mashing her own perky nipples against Nadine's hot skin. Nadine felt the sensation behind her and almost screamed when Melina's long fingers came around to the front of her body and twisted her nipples in time to Mike slamming fully into her. Nadine's eyes squeezed shut as the feelings washed over her. Her head slumped forward to Mike's shoulder and she could hear his heart beating as he continued. The pace was strong and fast, just like he was doing to her. Melina's mouth latched onto her neck after he slowed making her mewl into him. As she was mewling she vaguely heard Mike's voice growling to her ear. "More?" was all he asked. Nadine threw her head back as she tried to respond, but nothing came out but a loud moan. Hearing that Mike's face went into a hungry smile. He shifted a bit and laid out flat keeping Nadine fully on him. Slowly he let her sink down so she was fully imbedded on him. Her legs straddled his own as she felt him as deep in her as anything she had felt before. His hands trailed down her sides and rested on her full ass giving it a squeeze. Nadine shuddered as she felt the squeeze move her. The feeling of his thick shaft slowly moving in her made her orgasm again. The clamping Mike felt made his eyes close. Melina saw this and crawled to his face. She gave him a long slow tongue kiss as he felt the squeezing Nadine gave him. After the kiss broke Mike's eyes opened. His eyes bore into Melina and his smile got wide. "I think you need some release now, don't you?" he asked teasingly. "Please papi," Melina whispered softly. Mike's hand found her hip and started making her move so her own dripping slit came over his mouth. Melina straddled his head and as it did Mike's teeth sank into her clit ring making her squeal. His maddening tongue darted around his folds after he released it making her moan and lean forward. Nadine's eyes finally opened to see Melina leaning near her. As she saw her eyes closed Nadine suddenly felt and urge wash over her. She reached up and grabbed Melina by her face. Melina's eyes opened as Nadine leaned in and latched her lips onto hers. Nadine's mind was blank as she hungrily kissed Melina and began to rock back and forth on Mike. The two women began to find a rhythm as they kissed and bucked their hips back and forth on Mike. Mike's tongue and cock worked overtime as he ate Melina's dripping slit to a shuddering climax and made Nadine writhe on him wildly. Melina squealed loudly into Nadine's mouth as her legs locked hard on Mike's head. Nadine felt her shudder and threw her head back as she felt a big climax brewing of her own. Melina leaned back and her full breasts began to heave as she rocked back and forth on Mike's tongue frantic to find release. Nadine saw the abandon she had as she rocked her hips and decided to get more bold. She stopped rocking her hips and found her feet. She began to lift up and set down on Mike and the feeling was indescribable. She began to go faster and faster as she felt the burning begin in her body. Melina saw what she was doing and smiled wide. She licked her lips as she remembered her own time doing that with Mike. She shook as a tremor washed over her as Mike's long finger slipped into her ass and began to play in her. Melina cried out as his other fingers slipped into her slick pussy and began to work in concert with his tongue. The room began to fill with the desperate cries and whimpers of the two ladies as Mike's own noises were muffled by Melina's slippery hole. Nadine's own slippery slit was being filled to such a degree she couldn't help but dropping her head back as she felt the familiar burning in her body wash over her again. She cried out and squealed loudly as another powerful orgasm ripped through her. Melina witnessed the meltdown and watched as Nadine's tummy twitched and her legs violently shook as she came crying out in pleasure. Her own orgasms were starting to build up to a fever pitch as Mike did another of his cruel tricks. While he was under them Mike's hands slipped around to her ass and like a snakebite his hand lashed out and slapped Meli's ass. Melina's squeal as the sound shook the air was one of pure bliss as his teeth clamped down on her clit ring. Another crack was accompanied by a louder squeal and suddenly Meli's tummy mirrored Nadine's as she climaxed hard. The sounds she made filled the room as she rolled off his head and flopped on her side. Her legs shook for a while longer as Nadine slumped forward and shook on his body. Mike's hands found Nadine's hips and held her to him. She was so very close to being done he could tell. Her eyes were glazed over and likely the alcohol she had consumed had made her closer to sleep. Mike was also close to his end, but not yet. He so wanted to make her remember this night and decided to do just that. Without warning Nadine found herself on her hands and knees in front of Mike's hard cock. He slid deep into her and her head whipped back. Mike grabbed a handful of her hair and leaned in close. "More?" he asked in a growl. "Yes," she gasped loudly. Mike's answer was to begin driving his hips in a rapid motion. He pile drove himself deep into her body like a lunatic. The loud slaps of his hips on her ass filled the room as did the loud whimpers and squeals of passion that came from Nadine's lips. The loud thunder of his slapping hips was also met with a few loud growls and grunts from Mike's throat. Melina lay on her side and watched her lover do what he did best. She knew the pleasure that Nadine was experiencing as she had been in the same position many times. She licked her thick lips and her eager fingers found her throbbing nipples. She twisted them slowly as she watched Mike pound Nadine's shaking frame. Slowly her fingers descended down her body as she writhed watching the display. Her fingers found her glistening folds and began to tease the lips and ring on her clit as she liked. A whimper came from her throat as her fingers found a good spot and began to play with it. Mike's focus was fully on Nadine, but his peripheral vision caught sight of Melina playing. He grinned as he saw the way she teased her own folds and an idea came to his mind, but first he had to deal with the matter at hand. His hands crept under Nadine's body and cupped her full tits giving them a hard squeeze. Nadine moaned softly as his hands found hold of her body and began to pull her toward him. Mike kept going until her back was against him. He leaned down and nipped her ear playfully making her moan. "More?" he teased. Nadine answered him by turning her head and snaking her tongue into his mouth. They passionately kissed as Mike's hands ran up and down her skin. She moaned as their tongues danced in each others mouth, but she also began to push back onto him. Mike groaned loudly as he felt her tightness squeeze him. Nadine felt him tense up and she shoved back harder and he groaned. Without warning she put her hands back on the bed and began to buck her hips into him. Mike gripped her hips and began to pump hard into her body meeting her frantic thrusts. Their bodies slammed into each other with such a fury that it made Melina take notice. Melina's hand rubbed hard along her nipples as her other played with her clit ring. She bit her lip as an orgasm washed over her and her legs spasmed on her hand. She turned her head to the side as she came and suddenly heard a sound that made her look up. Mike's breathing began to get shallow as he felt a load bubbling in him. Her gripped Nadine's hips so hard his fingers left white marks on her dark skin as he slammed into her. Mike's head fell back as he felt the impending eruption building then let go. Nadine squealed in pleasure as she felt a burning in her body as Mike spasmed hard in her. His groan of pleasure filled the room as he unloaded deep in her body. Nadine's hands gave out and her head hit the pillow leaving her ass high in the air. The soft whimpering that came from her lips was all she could manage as her body was spent. Mike's spasms stopped after a bit and as it did he slowly pulled out of her. As he did a large dollop of his seed spilled down her legs mixed with her own glaze. Melina saw Mike sink back to his haunches and his eyes closed as he savored the after glow of his climax. His breathing was shallow as he tried to find his center, but something happened that made him lose his composure again. Melina's mouth latched onto his spent cock and sucked him hard. He groaned in blissful agony as she sucked the last bit of him out of his cock. She sucked the sweet nectar of Nadine as well savoring how both combined in her mouth. Mike's hands found a double fistful of her thick hair and held on for dear life as the wild nymph he lived with drove him crazy. The torture of Melina's sucking slowly began to make his hard on return and Mike's focus came back quickly. Once he got his focus back Mike noted that Nadine was lying on her side and looked to be unconscious. He smiled darkly as he looked at his handiwork and a pleased feeling flared through him. His hands began to release Melina's thick hair and explore the back of her head and down to her neck. His long fingers teased the soft flesh of her neck and made her whimper on his cock. Mike suddenly grabbed a firm hold of her and yanked her up to his face. The ice cold eyes he had were full of a dark light that made her shudder as she saw his face. A evil smile washed over his face that froze her with fear. "I think that you've been quite naughty tonight little girl," he growled into her face. Melina was awash with fear as her lover went into a dark place she knew so very well. She tried to whimper a response, but his hand squeezed her voice box making her unable to speak. "Did I want an excuse from you?" he asked in a sinister tone. She shook her head in fear and Mike's smile returned. "Good girl, now what should I do with you I wonder?" he taunted. "Conmigo lo que quieras," she pleaded in to him. "Lo que quiero?" he asked back. "Si papi," she whimpered. Mike released her neck, but his hands went to her ass and hoisted her to his lap. She squeaked in fear as she was suddenly straddling his hips. His thick cock split her hole and she moaned throatily. Her legs wrapped around his waist as he lunged forward so she was on her back. Neither wasted a word as Mike began to feverishly pound her with deep, violent thrusts. Melina's head lolled side to side as he continued. Melina's voice went into a tirade of pleading whimpers and lustful cries in Spanish. For a long time they continued unaware that Nadine was not quite so out of it. Nadine's bleary eyes were open and allowed her to watch the two of them go at it. During the show her already dripping slit began to soak again. Her nipples stood out from arousal as she watched Mike's tattooed body move like a tiger as he pounded Melina. Melina, to her credit and from her time in the industry, withstood much of the pounding. Her hips began to buck into Mike as he slammed into her. Nadine's bleary eyes watched the show and heard all of what was said. Her understanding of the language spoken made her eyes widen at how naughty Melina was being. Nadine's eyes got even wider when Mike sat up suddenly. He continued moving his hips in and out of her and his left hand began to teasingly slap Melina on her cheek. "Ai!" she cried out on each playful slap. Mike continued to pound her and slap her face as she continued to talk dirty to him. His dark expression made the foul talk come out even more as his pace continued. Melina's dirty talk spurred him on as he continuously slammed his hips into her well abused canal. The slaps on her face began to get harder over time and Melina seemed to loose herself further into the throes of her lusts. Mike suddenly pulled out of her and spun her to her hands and knees. With a deafening crack his hand slammed down on Melina's ass making her cry out loudly. Nadine watched how rough the two of them were becoming and it made her legs slam together as she climaxed without even being touched. She watched Mike ram into Melina like a savage brute and saw the glowing red that was forming on Melina's skin. The loud dirty talk was making her head spin as they continued to fuck like raw beasts. A large part of her wished that she was in Melina's place as she continued to watch them go at it. Mike continued his ferocious assault and suddenly his hand shot forward and grabbed a fistful of her curls. Nadine saw the massive bicep flex as he ripped Melina's head to his lips. "Ahora, Como voy a probar que tu me pertrneces?" he growled fiercely. "Yo no sae papi!" she squealed. "Pondre otra razon en tu matriz?" he said in a deep soothing voice. "Si Papi!" she begged. "Sí, entonces eso es lo que haré," Mike growled and flipped her to her back. Mike angled Melina so that he could continue to pound deep into her. For a long time they continued until Melina screamed and spasmed wildly on Mike spurring him to unload deep into her body. Mike's climax, this time, was a loud one. He groaned several times and finally he shouted as he surged deep into her body. Melina mewled as she felt his hot seed burn into her body. The two of them shared a passion filled look as they felt the aftermath of their passions. Melina patted his arm and he slowly let her down. The two of them leaned into each other and shared a lusty sweet kiss. Their tongues danced along each others as Melina pulled him close. They shared a sweet moment in each others arms when Melina broke it and smiled at Mike. Her eyes glanced over to the shaking form of Nadine and Mike got up. He slowly scooted Nadine into their embrace and pulled the blankets around them. Nadine felt his strong chest against her body and sighed as Melina's arms encircled her as well. Nadine purred in content as she drifted off deep in their warm embrace. By the Horns Ch. 05 Miss me? I'm sure maybe some of you did, and no I'm not going to waste time with a "Where I've been" excuse. Let's just say life, holidays, and a new job have made my life.....interesting. Let's just leave it at that. Hope you dig this as believe it or not i do have something else on the way to include more of Her Love. now kept your damn pants, panties, thongs, or whatever you have on! As always kids, Enjoy the Show! The brightness of the lights made her smile as Nadine looked at what the final picture would be in the mirror. A giddiness she had never known washed over her as she pondered the upcoming events. A last look at the heels on her small feet made a smile come to her as she went to the closet for her coat. She was more than ready for the night to come, but as she entered the closet her mind drifted back to the events that brought her to this point. Nadine's head was pounding behind her eyes. The bright sunlight that filled the room made a pained groan come from her mouth. The misery of the hang over had just begun, but Nadine already wished she could die. She yanked the comforter over her head and shivered as a different pain hit her. Her thighs clamped together as she felt a strong tingle between her legs and the realization of where she was hit her almost as hard as the hang over did. She sat up quickly and wished she hadn't as vertigo began to hit her. She was in Mike's bed and her mind spun out of control. "I did..." she muttered and looked down. She wasn't nude, but dressed in a blue long shirt. She pulled the covers off and saw her bare feet and legs looking back at her. As her head panned to the side she saw the nightstand and on it was a bottle of aspirin and a bottle of water with a note leaning on the bottle that said "Drink me". She didn't argue with the note and opened the bottle and consumed half the bottle in three desperate swigs. A handful of aspirin found its way down her throat with anther chug of water. Nadine suddenly felt a painful urge and rushed to the bathroom to pee. As Nadine finished up she walked to the mirror and the sight that greeted her was one she would have never have expected. Her hair was actually quite long and went past her shoulders as it had been permed straight the night before. The way the look made her face seem much cuter was something she never would have thought of doing. The other thing that set her look off was the long shirt she wore was a blue one with a large picture of Tigger on it. He was bouncing with his arms wide and it looked adorable. The shirt also went to her mid-thigh so she guessed it was one of Melina's. As Nadine ventured out of the bathroom she was flooded with memories of the night before and it made her suddenly feel light headed. She walked over to the bed and laid back down and as she did her stomach shuddered. The sensations that she felt was the after effects of the wild night she had. As she lay there the wonderful night replayed itself over and over in her mind. The things she had done and the pleasures she had felt made her slit begin to get dewy as the images of Mike's body over hers came to mind. She had done something that she never would have imagined possible, she had been with both him and Melina and loved every second of it. The thought, though pleasurable, suddenly took a strange turn in her mind. She had just cheated on her husband and that thought and confusion made her close her eyes. There was no answer for her to why she felt so bad, but she could only say it was guilt. As much as it hurt her when Trevor had cheated on her, and she had a clue it wasn't the first time either, she felt bad that she had done what she did. Her body stayed on the comfortable bed for some time, but then she felt something that broke her reverie. Thor's long beak poked into the bottom of her foot and made her almost jump out of her skin. She looked down to see him standing by the bed with only his head leaning on it. As he looked up to her his ears were playfully flat to his head and his tail wagged happily as he saw her. He was whimpering and licking his chops as she looked at him incredulously. A whining bark to her made her hand go to his head and she chuckled as she pat him. Thor scooted closer to her and when he did lifted his head and panted happily as she stroked him behind the ear. "You are so silly," she said to the happy dog. Thor tilted his head and made a funny groaning noise as he was trying to comprehend if she was commanding him to do something or not. When she didn't say anything more his head tilted to the other side and Nadine giggled at him. Her other hand went to the other side of his head and she really gave him a good rub behind his neck. Thor resumed his happy panting as she got all his good spots. Nadine patted him one least time and got up, relieved that he didn't pin her down and lick her like the last time. As she walked to the door on the chair next to the door was the dress she wore last night. It was on a hanger and the lingerie she wore as folded neatly on the seat. Her shoes were placed side by side under it and as she looked down at it she remembered how good she looked in it. Her smile was made wider when Thor bumped into her leg and pushed by her to the hall. She shook her head at the big dog and followed him. At the stairs he trotted down them and she followed as he turned to the living room. Inside the living room she saw Mike and the image in her mind was one that was very primal. Mike was topless and wearing no shoes. His only clothes was a pair of khaki shorts with a zipper in the front. They looked like they were military issue and comfortable on his body. He was lounging on the couch and at his feet were Fenris and Geri. They sat on opposite sides of his legs and it was almost like looking at a warrior of old. On the TV was a UFC fight in progress. Mike's eyes suddenly turned as he felt her presence and when he saw her he smiled at the cute sight before him. With no words he pointed at the table near her and Nadine looked down and saw a pair of dark sunglasses. Nadine's eyes closed in relief and she happily put them on. The light was still too bright for her, but she managed as they came on. As she looked back to Mike he was holding up a sign. "Better?" it asked. "Yes," she laughed to him. He held up another sign and she laughed hard at what it said. "Is it safe for me to talk yet?" "Yes," she said and Mike smiled. "Well it's good to see you alive," he said softly. "Thanks Mike,' she said and plopped down on the sofa near him. "Can you tolerate food?" he asked. "Maybe later. I really just want to wait for the aspirin to kick in," she said softly. Mike nodded his head and stood up. He snapped his fingers and the dogs got up and followed him to the back door. He had them go out and followed them out for a few minutes to play with them. While he did Nadine watched him throw the ball for Thor and a long rope for the other two. Thor and Mike had a playful banter as the big dog wasn't ready to let go of the ball, but Mike was a dirty player and tricked him a few times. As they played, Nadine couldn't help but laugh at the show. The other two had a tug of war going on with the rope. Fenris and Geri each had an end of it and tugged and shook their heads trying to take it from the other. Nadine watched as when one would take the rope he would run away and the other would be in hot pursuit. The game went on for a long time as Mike and Thor had their own game going. As the minutes drug by Mike suddenly found himself surrounded by all three of the dogs and soon they began a good natured wrestling match. The dogs all were good at play and Mike was ready for them and soon they were all rolling around the lawn. Nadine laughed as Mike tossed Fenris into the pool. The dog flopped about in the water and swam to the side. Thor and Mike kept going as Geri ran to the side of the pool and jumped in after Fenris. The two of them flopped about in the pool for a few minutes as Mike suddenly hoisted Thor up and the big dog strained with his paws frantically flapping about in the air as he tried to get away from Mike, but it was to no avail. The big Shepard found himself in the pool as Mike dove in after. Mike's dogs swam around the cool water for a while then got out. Nadine watched as Mike swam a few laps, then got out and went to the side of the house. Whatever he did had the dogs attention and they rushed to him eagerly as he set out their filled bowls. Like before they waited for him to say so then dug in. Mike snatched up his towel, dried off, then walked to the house. He left the door closed so the dogs would dry outside and walked into the kitchen. Mike peeked out to see Nadine on the couch and she looked either asleep or just relaxed. Either way was fine to him as he made a couple sandwiches. He piled on roast beef and provolone on his and took a guess and put chicken for hers. Once that was done he took out a jug of tea and went back to the living room. Setting the plate in front of Nadine had a loud grumble from her stomach fill the air. Mike looked up at her and she smiled behind the glasses. The two of them ate in silence. The fights on TV were the only sounds in the room. Once Nadine had eaten all she could she set the plate down and sat back on the sofa. Mike polished off his meal and sipped his tea down. He looked over to Nadine who was rubbing her head. He smirked at the sight and poked her in the side making her groan and shuffle away from his fingers. "Need to learn your limits," Mike joked. Nadine turned her head to him and the grumpy look on her face was well worth the effort to him. He had a huge smile on his face at her misfortune. "Why did I drink so damn much last night?' she whined. "Ummm....because it was a party?" Mike offered. Nadine gave him a sour look at the remark. He chuckled at that and his eyes were full of fun. "And also because you were having a great time at said party," Mike said and patted her leg. "I did," Nadine said smiling. "More fun than I've had in a long time," she finished. "I'm sure you had a blast," Mike chuckled and sipped his tea. Nadine looked to him and took the glasses off. Her eyes were better in the light and as she looked at him she had to say it. "Why didn't you stop me last night?" she asked and Mike heard the pain in her voice. "Because you didn't want to," he retorted. "But Mike I..." she tried to say, but he cut her off with a single upraised finger. "I said last night we will or won't do whatever you want to do, and I meant it," he said softly. "But I was drunk," Nadine said and sounded miffed. "True," Mike said sounding out the word for emphasis then he went on," But I have known that when a person is drunk, they have no inhibitions about telling the truth or acting how they wish to." Nadine looked at him and her eyes were angry. "You let me cheat on my husband and did nothing to stop me?" she asked angrily. Mike shook his head and turned off the TV. He sat back and looked at his angry friend and blinked his eyes. "I do apologize if I left you feeling uncomfortable Nadine, but I asked you several times if you wanted to stop and you didn't. I can understand you feel low now, but I can't change the past. I enjoyed the night as did Melina. We hoped that you would be all right, but I guess we were mistaken," Mike said softly. Nadine's face went from angry to sad in a second as she realized she was angry at him. Her eyes filled with tears and Mike saw them. He reached over to the box of tissue next to the table and handed her one. His warm eyes filled hers and he saw her pain in an instant. Mike could tell she was a good person and she just had an affair on her husband. He knew that even though Trevor was a selfish prick, she wasn't a bad person. Nadine took the tissue and dabbed her eyes. The tears were there, but Nadine sighed and looked down at her feet. She didn't know how to feel at that moment and it showed in her expression. Mike's hand on her shoulder made her look up at him and her eyes said it all. She was very confused. Mike nodded his head and a notion came to him. He had to take her mind off things and suddenly he had an epiphany. If he couldn't talk her mind out of it, he would take her mind off it by doing something fun. "Go get dressed, then we'll go have some lunch, and do something fun," Mike offered. Nadine looked at him curiously, but he was already getting up. She wanted to talk some more, but he wasn't in that mood. With no other options she walked to her room and got dressed. Not knowing what he had in mind she got into some jeans and a nice shirt. She put on her favorite sneakers and put her hair in a high ponytail. Looking at her reflection Nadine saw the vision of herself in the mirror and she was quite impressed. A thought came to her to lose a few pounds, but all in all she liked what she saw. As she went back down the stairs she saw Mike walking by with a large bag over his shoulder and a pair of gray cases in his hands. Mike went to the garage, then after a few minutes came back into the house. With Nadine's help they watered the dogs and locked up the house. After all was done they got into the mustang and rolled out. Mike took her to a nice lunch and Nadine was starting to feel a little better. She wasn't alone with him and could trust herself, but deep down every time she looked at Mike the night before kept coming back to her. When lunch was done Mike drove them out to a place Nadine would never had imagined ever going. It was a training facility for a company that made weapon systems for sport and military contracts. Mike knew it well as he owned a margin of the company. As soon as his car came to the gate he was waved in and they drove down the driveway to a large shooting range. Nadine was wide eyed as Mike pulled into a parking spot and killed the engine. "What are we doing here Mike?" she asked in pure confusion. "We're gonna have a blast," was all he said as he got out of the car. Nadine wasn't so sure of that, but she got out of the car. Mike got the cases out of the trunk and Nadine suddenly realized what they were. Mike walked back to her and together they strode to the range office. As they entered the office Nadine saw it was really a large gun store. Mike walked to the counter and had a friendly greeting with the men behind the counter. To Nadine's surprise she saw a few women working behind the desk as well. The other thing she noticed was everyone behind the counter had a pistol in a hip holster. On the walls behind the counter was a large rack that had several types of rifles. From hunting rifles, to shotguns, and even a few AR style rifles, they were there. Nadine also saw a wall with a sign that said "Rentals", and most of those were military or fully automatic style weapons. Mike pulled out a large wad of cash and paid for several small boxes and he even got several loaded magazines of ammo from the employees. He also had them pull down two weapons from the rental area and bring them out to his area. As Mike walked back to Nadine her eyes looked confused. Mike saw it and smiled at her. "Never held a gun before have you?" He didn't so much as ask, but stated. "Never," she said quietly. "Well then, I get to teach you a great way to blow off some stress," Mike said smirking and Nadine let out an exasperated laugh. "Mike...I'm not so sure of this," she tried to complain, but Mike saw through her. "You know Desiree said the same thing,' Mike started to say and Nadine suddenly perked up. Mike went on and what he said next made her stare wide eyed and mouth open. "Oh Mike, I hate guns....why are we here...oh this is sooo stupid!" Mike said in a mocking Desiree like voice. Nadine let out a choked laugh and her hands came to her mouth. "Yeah, then we had some fun and now she is a member," Mike said chuckling. Nadine smiled at him and shook her head. "Have an open mind, besides I can shoot almost anything that has a trigger, so you'll learn quite easily,' Mike said and winked at her. Nadine sighed and relented. She followed Mike outside and when they got to the area she saw a pair of glasses and a pair of earphones for her. Mike set down his cases on the table and opened them up. Nadine saw two of the pistols from his office in the boxes. He opened his shoulder case and inside of it she saw one of the rifles he had that was very space aged looking. He set them down next to the two rentals and quickly set about setting things up for her. He sorted the ammo and the magazines to the proper weapons and once that was done he turned to her and leaned back on the counter. "OK, rules are simple: I make them, you follow them, no exceptions," Mike said seriously. Nadine nodded her head and Mike went over the important parts of weapon safety. He spoke clearly and she noted how on point he was with his briefing. After he was done with the safety briefs he picked up each weapon and showed her the basic points she needed to know. From the pistol grip, to the safety catch, to the magazine well and other parts, he made sure Nadine could say them back to him and show him what was what. After his course of instruction she had it down and Mike took her aside to show her how to load the magazines and made sure they were set properly. The whole thing took less than an hour and when it was done Mike decided to start her off with the easy weapons first. He picked up the Sig Sauer pistol and a few magazines. He walked with her to the firing line and set up a target. He winched it down range fifteen feet away and turned to face her. "OK. Now we do the fun stuff. First things first, put on your safety gear," he said. Nadine put on the glasses and her ear protection. Mike did the same and motioned her to the line. "With your right hand pick up the pistol, and keep the muzzle pointed down range,' he commanded. Nadine picked up the weapon and noted its weight. It was heavier than she thought, but as it sat in her hand she felt it was well made and molded to her grip easily. Once she was ready Mike went on. "Pick up the magazine of ten rounds with your left hand," he said and she did. "Load!" he said loudly. Doing as Mike showed her Nadine turned the pistol to its side and inserted the magazine into the well. She used the heel of her hand and heard the click of the magazine catching as she pushed hard. Once that was done she rotated the weapon back to proper setting. Mike reached over her and cocked the pistol. Nadine took a few small breaths and slowly began to calm down as the live weapon was ready to go. Mike saw the weapon was ready to rock so he patted her arm and leaned down close to her. "Keep your breathing steady. Don't yank the trigger, just softly pull. Squeeze slowly and..." Mike said softly and Nadine squeezed the trigger. The recoil was the first thing that caught her off guard. The muzzle flash was almost nonexistent. Looking down range after the shot Nadine saw she hit the target. It was a bit low and to the left, but she hit it. Mike smiled and leaned over her. He helped her adjust the sight and set her feet more for a steady base. Once that was done he patted her back and stood behind her. "Fire when ready," Mike said firmly. Nadine took a series of breaths and squeezed. After each shot Mike was there to help her adjust or not and she emptied the magazine. Once it was done Nadine stood there with a target in front of her showing her the results. Seven shots were in the main body and the other three hit, but were to the sides. All in all it wasn't a bad first time for her. She looked back to Mike who simply handed her another magazine and she eagerly took it. The mag loaded and Nadine took her time and remembered what Mike showed her. This time all ten shots ended up in the black and in a good grouping. Mike handed her another magazine, but this time he moved the target back another five feet. Nadine took her time and when the target came back, it had nine in the main body and one a bit high near the head. By the Horns Ch. 05 "It's easy enough," Mike said and took the pistol from her. He switched out targets and when it was ready he decided to show her some advanced shooting drills. He loaded his magazine and with a series of motions he fired two rapid shots five times. Nadine watched in awe as he seamlessly reloaded and sent another ten rounds down range with ease. He did a speed load and she was blown away by how casual he made it look. One last time he reloaded and this time he did a ten round rapid fire. The speed with which the rounds flew down range was just something else. Once it was done Mike brought the target back and Nadine was stunned. His grouping was the size of a half dollar and in two spots. Thirty rounds were in the center of the body and ten each were in the heart area and dead in the forehead. Mike turned to her and grinned, "See, simple." Nadine laughed at the showing. "If you put as many rounds down range as I have in this lifetime, then you'll be able to do that too," Mike said and patted her back. "I doubt I'll ever do that,' Nadine chuckled. "We'll see about that. Next?" he asked. Nadine nodded and Mike walked to the table with the empty pistol. He selected one of the rentals that happened to be a very fine weapon he was quite familiar with. Turning to Nadine she saw it was a weapon she had seen in a lot of movies. Mike walked it over to the shooting table and set it on the table. Once it was set he walked back to the other table and picked up several magazines for it. He handed two to Nadine and put the other two in his pocket. Nadine was nervous as they walked to the table. She was eager, but at the same time this was a bigger gun that looked like a rifle, but it was a lot smaller. The butt stock was black and fixed in place. The sights were open and Nadine was nervous as she neared it. "This is the MP5. It is a selective fire sub machine gun. You may have seen it from movies, and with good reason. The recoil of this weapon is not that bad and it is quite forgiving. Now here's the brief," Mike started. He took about ten minutes with her to explain it and its functions. Once he was done Mike showed her how to operate the safety and selector switch. He had her hold it and showed her the way to aim it and keep it safe. After Mike was certain she was ready he had her ready the weapon. Nadine was amazed at how smooth it went. This time Mike was behind her and his arms went around her. She sucked in a shaking breath as his arms rested under hers as she held the weapon steady and down range. She loaded it as he showed her and when it was set. Mike had her open fire when she was ready. The rounds that came from the weapon were smooth and steady. The inner working of the weapon kept it smooth as she sent rounds down range easily. Once the first magazine was expended she reloaded and Mike stayed behind her. Nadine reloaded it quickly and this time Mike had her put it on three round burst. This time the weapon kicked some more. It was still easy to handle, but now the weapon barked louder. She fired off the ten bursts, then was handed another magazine and this time Mike had her put it on full auto. Nadine shook gently as she flicked the switch, and Mike saw it. His firm hands held hers and braced her as she squeezed the trigger. The smooth recoil of the weapon made her hold it for a few seconds, then she let go. She did that five times, and the weapon was empty. Nadine's heart was beating quickly, but she felt alive. That was so out of her comfort zone, but she was exhilarated by it. Mike's arms left hers and she smiled up to him. Mike took the weapon from her and walked it over to the table. "That was cool!" Nadine beamed. Mike chuckled and turned back to her and noted how eager she was for more. He handed her his Colt .45 and Nadine was more than ready for it. Mike handed her five clips and she rushed to the table. Mike watched as she handled it so well. The operation of it was the same as the Sig and Nadine was ready for it. The only thing that caught her off guard was how hard it kicked. Nadine's rate of fire was slower, but this was a bigger gun that needed more work to use. All thirty five rounds went through the big gun and Mike smiled at how quick she was at getting it. Mike turned back to his table and picked up a newer gun that the shop had just gotten. He smirked at it and was eager to work it out himself. Nadine came back to the table with the empty pistol and magazines and Mike smiled at her as he held the odd looking weapon. "OK this weapon is new to me as well, so I'll show you first, then let you rock it," Mike said and Nadine nodded her head. "This is called the P 90. It's a Belgian made assault weapon that is used by many support troops that find a full on battle rifle not necessary. It fires a different round from a unique feed system," Mike explained and went on. He showed her the odd round and Nadine nodded. When he showed her how to load it, she was blown away at how easy it was. The simplicity of operation was apparent for use by conscripts. He also showed her that it was a selective fire weapon and she nodded. He picked up the four magazines he got for it and pocketed two of them and handed the other two to her. Nadine was amazed at how easy it looked to shoot and the weapon seemingly just did it's job without effort. Mike burned through the magazine, then the next pretty easily. She saw the target he was shooting at was a plastic humanoid shape. She also saw that he shredded it with very well placed shots to the chest and head. As he stepped to the side she walked up and gingerly took the weapon. Mike stayed behind to make sure she was all right with the weapon. For a few seconds Mike's body was flush against hers and Nadine felt it. Her breathing was shallow, but she couldn't help but focus on the task at hand. Once Mike was certain she was going to be all right, he handed her the magazine and made sure she loaded it properly. Once the magazine was set she racked the charging handle and was ready to go. Mike gave her the last few instructions before he stepped back. The fire that spat out of the P90 was awesome! Nadine fired a few short bursts and on her last magazine Mike smiled as he set it on full auto and she got to rock and roll. The way she was able to control the weapon made her come to like it. The ease with which she hit the target was also something she was amazed at. The red dot sight aided it, but she could tell that even without it she could do all right. Once it was dry Mike took the weapon and cleared it. Nadine was almost bouncing as they went back to the table. Mike saw the eagerness in her eyes to keep going and smiled at her. "So I take it someone's enjoying the fun?" he mused. Nadine's wide eyes blinked a few times and she nodded her head with a Cheshire like smile. Mike's amused face was all apparent as he was right about this yet again. Desiree and Tamara, Melina, now Nadine. Mike finally picked up the last weapon and Nadine saw it and was eager to go. He explained that it was a modified version of the Colt Carbine that the Special Forces used. He explained how the M4 that most used had many problems, chief among them jamming. The explanation went on with him saying all he did was fix the bolt and tweak a few things, then he pimped out the outside. He showed her the fore grip and red dot sight, as well as the easy way it handled with its grip. It took about ten minutes of him showing her how to operate the weapon, and how to hold it properly for firing. After Nadine showed she was ready once again they went to the line. Nadine was blown away by how the weapon handled and how simple it was to shoot. Mike explained how they had tried to make it "Idiot Proof" and Nadine almost fell over laughing. "You do know that there are a lot of people that join the service that are....rather thick. So they make things that even a complete moron couldn't fuck up,' he explained and Nadine shook her head. They spent the rest of the afternoon shooting the various weapons and having a blast doing it. Mike showed her a few tricks for the rifle and Nadine picked them up rather fast. He could see that in truth, she was a natural at it. The last of the ammo was expended and the piles of spent brass were swept up and loaded into a nearby trashcan. Once they were certain no more ammo was on the table or in the weapons themselves, Mike and her packed them all up. His were put in their cases, Nadine helped him carry the rentals back to the office. Mike had a chat with the owner and they laughed about a few things as Nadine looked around the store. As she did a display case came before her and as Nadine looked into it she saw it was a display case with a collage of pistols. Her eyes went over them and quickly she found Mike's and a few others she had seen on TV and what not. As she looked along she saw one that caught her eye. It was small and chromed. It looked different than the rest and she couldn't help but look at it. Mike saw her eyeballing the weapon and smirked. He slowly walked up to her and put his arm over her shoulder. Nadine unconsciously leaned into him as she stared at the piece. "What's that?" she asked. Mike looked to where she was pointing and smiled as he recognized it right away. "A Walther PPK. It's a smaller weapon made back in the twenties in Germany. It's the same gun that James Bond uses in most of the movies," he replied. Nadine looked closer at it and as she had seen a few of the Bond movies, she saw it was indeed the same. "Desiree has one, so does Tamara," Mike informed her. "They do?" Nadine asked back shocked. "Yeah, they have matching weapons for home defense. Tamara also carries hers at all times,' Mike said, then he realized he may have said too much. Though he spoke, Nadine wasn't paying attention. Instead she was looking at a few others and saw a certain pistol that caught her eyes. It was a mid-sized piece that looked like it could fit her smaller hands. Mike saw the weapon and nodded his head. "That's a good one," Mike said as he pointed to the pistol and the attendant opened the case. The man reached in and took the pistol out. He pulled the slide to the rear, locked it, and then handed it to Nadine. "That's the H&K P30, it's a .40 caliber, semi auto," The clerk said as he handed the weapon over. Nadine took the pistol in her hand and looked at it close. It was all black, had a great grip, but something about it screamed it was a good choice for her. The pistol fit her hand so well it was if the grip was built for her. She looked down the sights and the white dots on both ends made it easy to see them. Mike actually showed her something that made her eyes widen. He put his hand over the weapon and the dots glowed under them. "The paint is a night glow that makes it so you can aim at night," he explained. Nadine looked up to him and her eyes were half pleading, but also he could see she was interested in it. "How bout we test fire it?" Mike asked the clerk. "No problem,' the man said and took them to the back. Nadine was actually giddy to go back, but she couldn't explain why. Like earlier she took the pistol and loaded it like Mike had shown her. Set her target down range with no issue. Then with a deft hand she fired all ten rounds. Mike explained that the gun could actually fire fourteen, but due to gun laws only ten round magazines were allowed. Nadine sucked in a shallow breath and was shaking as she held the gun in her hands and as she was about to set it down the clerk came up to her. "Miss?" he asked as he held up his hand for the weapon. Nadine handed him the gun and lamented doing it. She really wanted it and it was obvious in her eyes. Mike grinned behind her and they left the range. As she went back into the front office Mike slipped to the side and had a chat with the owner. The whole talk lasted less than a minute and Mike came back to the case. "Dinner?" Mike offered. "Can I choose where?' Nadine asked. "Of course," Mike said smiling. He hefted the bags over his shoulder and with a nod from the owner Mike smiled as he was handed a separate bag. Nadine didn't see it as she was leaving the store. Mike picked up his other cases and walked to the car. Nadine got in and as she sat down Mike loaded the weapons into the car. They drove away from the range and back to his house. On the way back Nadine made her choice of the Tex- Mex restaurant from the first day she met him. Luckily it had a drive through so they got it to go and went back to the house. Nadine carried the food in as Mike went to his office to put away the weapons. As he got to the office he suddenly called out to her. "Bring it to my office, we can eat in here," he said. Nadine followed him down the hall in the office she saw Mike take each weapon from its bag and set them on his desk. Nadine broke out the food and they began to eat. During their meal Mike set about cleaning the weapons while he ate. Nadine watched as he easily broke down each one and cleaned out the barrels and internal mechanisms through eating his meal. "What's all that black stuff?' Nadine asked as she saw the black residue come from the weapons. "It's carbon. See when the powder explodes it deposits this on the weapons. It's a bitch to clean out if you leave it in too long, but you have to or the weapons will jam up and not work properly," Mike explained. Mike went on to explain how after they would shoot in the teams how they would spend hours cleaning and adjusting their weapons after. Nadine ate her meal and the stories he told of the times he had jams made her come to understand why he took such care of things. He also explained how the M-16 had such a bad past from all the false information given about cleaning it. After a while Mike was done, and the weapons were put away. Nadine and him enjoyed the last of their dinner and as they were watching a cool show about weird things in history, Mike got a call. "Oh god what now," he grumbled as he answered. Mike listened to the first few seconds of the conversation, then his eyes got wide with anger. A few more seconds of it was all he could stomach. "What? Wait, wait...slow down. He did what?!" Mike exclaimed and Nadine looked at him curiously. "Jesus H Christ, it's my fucking week off and he chooses now to be a little bitch...." Mike growled and Nadine sat back at his outburst. Mike collapsed in his seat, then as if pulled by invisible strings he rose to his feet suddenly. "Oh no! You tell him to get his act together and be at work by the time I get there. If he ain't, then he's gonna get his fucking ticket punched!" Mike said harshly into the phone. Mike stormed from his chair and mouthed several swear words as he stalked to the cabinet. He punched in the codes and made sure his weapons were locked up. Suddenly Mike hung up on the call and his fingers rubbed the bridge of his nose as his eyes closed. "Can't a guy just have a day off without people being completely useless?" he complained, then his head snapped back so he could look at the ceiling. For a few seconds he stared at the ceiling as if looking for an answer, then when none came he shook his head. "You're testing me again aren't you?" he said loudly to the ceiling and he had an insane gleam in his eyes. Nadine was wide eyed and a nervous chuckle came from her lips. Mike's eyes panned over to her as he shook his head painfully. A sigh escaped his lips as he gazed upon her cute face. "I need to bounce to work for a bit. Seems I have a "Star", he said using his fingers in quotations, "That needs an attitude adjustment," Mike explained. "Oh, well can I use your computer? I need to check my emails," Nadine asked. "Yeah!" Mike exclaimed seemingly from a happy part of his current mood, and it seemed to calm him down a bit, "Let me set you up a profile so you can get in or you'll be stuck on my load up." Mike punched in a series of passwords and got to his load up page. He logged out of his page and set her up a profile for her own use. He turned his head as she typed up her password and user name. Once that was done Mike explained that he had a six layer system set up on his computer for his companies' safety. Nadine nodded as he showed her how to access things and when she was good he gave her a kiss on the cheek and smiled. "You get lonely, just let the dogs in and I'm sure Thor will play with you for a bit, I hope I'm not out that long,' Mike said smiling. "OK, maybe I will," Nadine said thinking of the fun she had playing with the big lug. She watched him leave and went to the computer. Nadine sat down and sighed as she tried to put the feeling in her down. As much as she enjoyed the night before, she couldn't act upon it as she was still married. Her shaking fingers typed in her email and she read them all. A few were spam, but a few were important. The rest were just not worth her time. One that caught her eye was a new one from Trevor. In it he tried to explain that he was sorry. He said he made a mistake and he wanted her back. A part of her believed that, but then she saw the email ahead of it with his video on it. Nadine deleted his emails with two quick clicks. She sat back in the chair and a tear slid down her face. The anger that began to well up in her made her sit up and type out a new search in the finder. She typed up his email and as she knew his password from a time she saw him type it out, she plugged it in. Nadine saw his many emails and clicked certain ones. In several she saw pictures of three nude women, all of them white and plain looking. She also saw several more pictures of him engaged with them in sex and on most of the dates were times she recalled he said he was working late. Nadine's anger washed over her like a storm. Her nose breathed in and out several times as she began to cry, but the tears were not sad. It was pure frustration and anger that welled up in her stomach making the tears come down her cheeks. For a long time the emails mocked her by just being there, then she had an idea wash over her. With a fervor that was riven on by her anger she highlighted every one of his emails with the pictures of him and his tramps, and had them forwarded to her own. Once they were there she sent them to the email Tamara had given her that belonged to her divorce lawyer. Once all the emails were sent a dark look passed over her face and in one act of much needed anger, she changed his password and closed out the screen. As she sat in Mike's chair feeling anger, she looked over to the pictures on the wall. She saw the ones of him and a feeling of jealousy washed over her. How she longed to have met a man like him in her life. More and more anger began to fill her, but suddenly it was replaced as she saw a picture of him and Desiree. In that picture she saw them at a function and he was dressed up nice as was she. They were arm in arm smiling at the camera and Nadine couldn't help but stare at her. In Nadine's eyes, Desiree had to be one of the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. Her curves were in all the right spots. She had a nice bust line and her face was just perfection. Her large brown eyes sparkled like diamonds and as Nadine remembered the times she had spoken to her she was just lost. A large part of her wished she was just half as pretty as she was, then maybe Trevor would not have gone off and cheated on her. Nadine stood up and looked at herself in the glass case. She was shorter than Desiree by almost six inches. At five four she was normal height for most women. Her hips were thick as were her thighs. She had a curve in her tummy that made her want to suddenly go on a diet, but there was something she couldn't deny, she had a cute face and nice eyes. By the Horns Ch. 05 How Mike would find her attractive she had no idea, but the proof was evident as she felt a tremble in her thighs as an image of Mike going in and out of her passed her mind. The images of her and Melina kissing was also something that made her shake and she sat down again. A new feeling passed over her; confusion. Nadine sat for a long time thinking of things, then she suddenly had an idea that was just wild. She typed up the name she remembered that Desiree used and within a few clicks she found several images of Desiree and one caught her eyes. Desiree had a personal training routine she posted in her blog. In it she detailed how she worked out and how she ate and Nadine was shocked that one of her training sessions was martial arts with Mike. Nadine took notes of many of the ideas presented and also she looked up the other things Desiree noted. The martial arts she spoke of were two different types. The first was Jiu Jitsu. The second was called Krav Maga. The first was a Japanese form of in close fighting. The second was made by Israeli Special Forces and had become popular throughout the rest of the world because of its simple, but brutal, effectiveness. Nadine noted that the dietary part was not very much different than what she had eaten with Mike and his family since she moved in with them. She wondered if she followed a stricter form of the diet if she would lose a few more pounds? She also got her notions for exercise with the weight room he had in the basement of the house. With that in mind Nadine stood up and snatched up her camera. She took off her shirt and pants leaving herself in her bra and panties and snapped several self-pictures. Once those were done she sat down after redressing and took those pictures and made a file. She labeled it before and after and took a deep breath. She vowed then and there she was going to lose twenty pounds and try to get her body in better shape. Once that was done she sat back and looked at the ceiling. A few minutes drug by as she stared at the ceiling. Her mind was a blur of many thoughts. Some good, some not so good, a few down right dirty, but most of them kept going back to last night. How she went wild with Mike, how she kissed Melina with an open mouth. A strong part of her wanted to taste her skin, but fear had stopped her. She remembered how good Mike tasted as she bobbed on his cock. She tasted so much of his pre cum that she almost went delirious with lust. Nadine's thighs clamped together as she felt her nipples rise in a lust filled moment. She so badly wanted to find release as she was now very horny. A whimpering moan escaped her lips as she tried to keep her thighs closed, but an overwhelming urge was making her want to open them and delve into her slit with eager fingers. Nadine's eyes opened and she saw the computer still on. With shaking fingers she found the mouse and clicked on the web browser. She saw Desiree's page was still up and clicked on her link once again. A few scenes came up, but then she saw one that Desiree had on her blog that was her favorite one of all. Reading the brief description under it she saw it was the one she and Mike had done that won them their award at the AVN. Feeling an urge overtake her Nadine clicked on the link and the screen loaded up. The brief minute it took made her squirm a bit, but then the image of Stable Productions came up. The scene began with Mike dressed in a suit and glasses walking with a smaller man. The man was also in a suit and tie, but carried with him some papers he was going over. The two men walked down the hall of a hotel and as they got to the door the smaller man turned to Mike. "OK, just stay here and wait till I come out,' he said in a very obnoxious voice. "Yes sir," Mike replied in a professional tone and turned with his back to the door. Looking at Mike he had an earpiece in and looked to be a bodyguard of some sort. The scene cut to the man entering the room and shutting Mike out. Inside the man went to the table, set down his papers, then went to the bar. He poured two drinks and when they were ready, a loud clicking came from behind him. The man turned about and standing behind him was Desiree, and she was looking good! Talindra, as her stage name went, was wearing black velvet heels that were dangerously high. Her legs were encased in solid lace topped black stockings. Her body was encased in a sexy black and red corset. Her magnificent bust line was just barely held in check by the cups. On her neck was a lace choker with a ruby pendant. Her dark skin gleamed in the light and a metal arm band went around her right arm. Large diamond earrings hung from her ear lobes and her face was perfectly done up with subtle make up, but loud red lipstick. Her face was glaring down at the smaller man with a look of contempt, or disgust, Nadine couldn't tell what. The small man meekly held out the cup of bourbon to her and she casually stalked up to him and snatched it from him. She tipped it back in one shot and her eyes seemed to burn with a fire that seemed to come from a dark place in her soul. "Let's get this over with bitch, I have a lot to do today,' she said to the man and he bobbed his head eagerly. He went to move by her and she rolled her eyes. Her had was a blur as she snatched him up and threw him over the couch. Heels clicking dangerously she stalked up to him and her hand found his ass with a loud crack making him squeal in agony. "What did you forget to say!" she growled at him. "Yes mistress!" he begged. "That's right bitch! Yes mistress!" She growled and again slapped his ass. The small man moaned in pleasure as she hit him again and again, then she stopped and brought her foot up and swept his feet out making him fall to the floor. "Get out of your fucking clothes and get over the couch!" she ordered. "Yes mistress!" he whimpered from the floor and began to strip his clothes. Talindra stalked away making her heels click with each and every step. Not a long time went by and the small man was nude on the floor and Talindra walked back in the room with several toys and other items. The small man saw the instruments of his pleasure and he seemed eager, but that came to an end when she snatched him up and threw him over the edge of the couch. Talindra was being very aggressive with the man and his squeals and screams began to fill the room as she got rough with him. The cracking of the flog over his naked ass filled the room and the muffled cries of the man suddenly got to the figure outside the room. Mike snatched up his sidearm from his hip holster and entered the room. As he did, even though he had shades on, the look on his face spoke volumes. He saw his employer bent over a couch handcuffed to it. A ball gag in his mouth and a sexy domme whipping the shit out of him with a cruel looking flog. "What the fuck?" Mike laughed at the smaller man and the levity in his voice shocked the small man. The smaller man began to mumbled through the ball gag, but Talindra silenced him with a vicious crack of the flog. "Shut up bitch!" she growled at him and he bobbed his head pathetically in submission. "There are things better left unanswered," Mike said chuckling as he holstered his sidearm. He took his shades off and looked at Talindra and his eyes grew dark as he saw the sexy woman before him crossed her arms and leaned back in her heels. For a few seconds he held her firm gaze, then he took a step towards her. "But there are some things that need to be answered," he said lewdly as he stalked toward the sexy goddess of a woman. "Oh, and what would those things be?" Talindra purred to him. "Just how fucking bad are you for one?" Mike said suggestively and got very close to her. "You wanna try and find out?" she said in a warning tone. The evil chuckle that came from him made the sexy woman smile darkly at him. The scene took a wild turn as without a word she was spun around and Mike had her pinned over the nearby table. His face nuzzled along her neck and cheek as she gripped the table dropping the flog. "And what do you think you're gonna accomplish doing that?" she asked him in a breathy tone. "Make you scream like a fucking banshee," he growled and turned her face and claimed her lips. The moan that came from Talindra was a loud one as the two of them began to violently make out. Every time he would pull away then go back in, she would bite at him playfully. At times she would get his lip and the growl that came from him made her purr evilly. The two made out for a while longer, then Mike turned her about and hiked her up on the table. She squeaked as her ass hit the table and before she could protest her hips were lifted and her skimpy panties were off. Nadine's eyes bulged as she saw the shaved clean slit come out and her own slit began to get dewy as she watched Mike sink between her thighs and his tongue snaked along her hot slit. Talindra's head fell back as his tongue lashed out along her hot box. The thick thighs found perches on his shoulders, and her hands found his ears as she held him close to her steaming slit. Moans and gasps escaped her lips as she suddenly found herself on her back with him rising up holding her. Her shoulders and upper back were on the table, but his strong upper body took the rest of her with as he stood up. The choked gasp that came from her was one that made Nadine's eyes bulge as she watched Mike easily hold her body up with only his strong shoulders as she had a death grip on them. His hands held a firm hold of her ass to keep her where he wanted, but the rest of her was held up by nothing else. Nadine was floor as the show continued on for a long time and even had a scene of Talindra screaming loudly as she came hard. Once that happened Mike did a flex of his stomach and a kip of his hips, then she was shot up and he grabbed her in midair. Before Talindra could protest she was on her back with her legs spread wide and a rock hard Mike stabbing her deep in her soaked pussy. Nadine's hand was between her legs as she watched Mike slam fuck her like a demon possessed. The dirty talk and babbling Desiree was doing was too much for her and without warning Nadine's fingers found themselves delving into her hot box. As the scene went on and on, Nadine's hips began to buck as she remembered the night before and how hard he fucked her. The feeling of his thick pole pounding her when she was on her knees was the last spark it took and she cried out in agony as she came violently. Nadine's whole body stiffened up and her fingers were trapped by her thighs and clenched hole. Her whimpers were loud as were her gasps. The sight that greeted her when she finally opened her eyes was Desiree on her knees with Mike furiously stroking her cock. Nadine was panting in ragged gasps as she watched a large spurt of his thick seed erupt out and onto her open mouth. More and more of his seed came out, and more and more of it drenched her chin, neck, and breasts. When he was finally done Desiree took him deep into her mouth making him groan loudly and grab hold of the chair next to him to keep his balance. The soft, loving whimpers she let out stunned Nadine as she was slurping on his pole. When she was done she opened her eyes and with a long motion pulled her head back and when his dick came out of her mouth the loud pop it made sent a shudder down Nadine's spine. The next thing that caught her attention was a very big grin on a very real Mike that stood in the doorway to his office. Nadine gasped as she saw him, but he said nothing. He waited for her to get back upright in the chair before he entered the room. "Enjoying yourself I see," he said in a very dark tone. "Um," Nadine muttered softly, but she couldn't say anything that would help the situation. Mike got to the side of the desk and saw the screen. As he did a big smile washed over his face, and it wasn't a lewd one. The smile was more of a fond memory that took in his whole rugged face. The ice blue eyes seemed to sparkle as he watched the scene end and turn back into Desiree's web page. He chuckled softly at that as he turned to face Nadine once more. "That was a great time," Mike said softly as he sat on the edge of the desk and leaned back a bit. Nadine looked down at the desk, but his finger found the edge of her jaw and lifted it slightly so she was forced to look at him. Once she was looking at him he leaned close and his soft lips met hers. The sigh she let out was one that Nadine couldn't help. The soft kiss was a small one, but one that hit Nadine deep in her core. Once their lips had parted Mike said something that hit Nadine deep in her belly. "But so was last night," he said softly. Nadine couldn't help what she did next. Her eager lips mashed into his and her arms found the back of his strong neck. Mike was stunned at what she was dong, but he didn't stop her. As he stood up her eager body crushed into his. Without a word she jumped up and he caught her ass as her legs went around him. They passionately made out for many long seconds before Nadine broke off and her next words sealed both their fates. "Mike...Fuck me!" she demanded through clenched teeth. Mike's dark eyes bored into her own as he didn't waste a word. She was on her back on his desk and her jeans were torn off. The cool air of the office hit her warm body and it made Nadine mewl. Before any further words could come out Mike's shirt was on the floor and Nadine was sitting up frantically fumbling with his belt. The belt flew open as the zipper found itself torn down and with a deft move Mike's cock was in her hand. Nadine didn't even breathe as she opened her mouth and engulfed as much of him as she could. Mike's head fell back as she gave him probably the sloppiest blow job he had ever gotten. The loud slurps and mewls she emitted stuck in his ears as he looked down and what he did next only fueled her fire. His strong hand ripped her shirt open and threw it off. Her white bra came into view and it found itself yanked down under her heaving breasts. Nadine moaned loudly as she got off the desk and fell to her knees to better get at him. Mike's hand found the top of her head and a fistful of her hair was gripped. With deft pulls he showed her the pace he wanted, and she was eager to oblige. The drool that came out of the sides of her mouth showed Mike how novice she was to what she was trying to do, but he didn't stop her. He promised her she would, or wouldn't do as she pleased. Instead he simply helped her along by slowly inching deeper and deeper into her throat. The time seemed to stop for both of them as she wouldn't stop, and Mike wouldn't relent. With one last shove in Mike felt Nadine's nose above his member and he smiled as he held her like that for a few seconds. As he saw her feet kick on the floor Mike pulled her head all the way off allowing her to breath and cough. Nadine sputtered on her knees as without warning his prick shoved into her mouth. Her cheek was stretched out as the rod punched in and she was so lost to her feral lusts she growled wildly. With another pull back Mike's cock suddenly found the right angle and went back into her throat. Nadine again found her nose on his tummy and this time she relaxed her throat. What happened next shocked Nadine as he began to buck his hips back and forth. Nadine's mind spun out of control as he face fucked her for what felt like hours. The whole time she was doing it, he spoke to her and the words he used made her fire burn wilder than she had ever been in her life. Words ranged from "Little slut" to "Dirty fucking bitch" were the nicer words, but Mike had a few more he used on set that he started to use. Not that he needed to, but the showman in Mike decided now was he time to make a move for something he knew would be sweet. "It looks like you enjoy gagging on my dick don't you slut?" Mike growled as he shoved all the way in. A very garbled mumble was all Nadine could get out as she couldn't speak. "When I ask you a question, I better get an answer," Mike said calmly as he took his dick from her mouth long enough to speak. "Yes!" she wheezed loudly. Mike chuckled darkly as he hoisted her up by her hair and spun her about. Nadine yelped as he did, then screamed loudly as he viciously slapped her ass. The jiggle it did elicited a primal growl from Mike's throat. He was upon her before she could speak and his hands were around her waist and breasts as he got to her ear. Nadine's body shook wildly as he leaned in close. "Still want me to fuck you little girl?" he asked teasingly. "Mike please!" Nadine begged as he pinched her sensitive nipple hard. "Ah yes, you asked me not to tease you last night. Does that still apply today?" he mused. Nadine whimpered and gasped loudly as his demonic fingers found many more sensitive points and did their devil work on them. His fingers found her clit and twisted it as his other hand found her open mouth and three fingers slipped in. Nadine's mouth clamped on the fingers by instinct, but that was his plan. Mike cruelly clicked his tongue as he growled into her ear once more. "I told you to answer me, didn't I?" he demanded and what he did next blew Nadine's mind. Her arms went above her head and his belt looped around them. Once they were secured, Mike yanked her over the desk and tied it off. Nadine's eyes were wide as he stood before her face and his arms crossed. The bulging muscles he had were slightly smaller from age, but still looked in better form than most. His abs, while not a six pack, were flat and very hard. The legs hat were before her face came into view as he slid his pants off and she saw the hard cord of his muscles. The thigh muscles showed their condition, then the jagged scar on his knee came into view. With a shaking head she tilted her chin up to see him and as she did she saw Mike was looking at her with hard eyes. "Is this what you really want? Last chance to back out," Mike warned her. Nadine's eyes began to tear up as she realized what he was doing. He was giving her a chance to end it and not feel bad, but every part of her libido was not going to let that happened. What happened next shocked the both of them as without hesitation she glared at him and in a voice that would have made Desiree back up, Nadine made her intention be known. "Why aren't you fucking me Mike?" she asked in a cold hiss. Mike didn't waste any time. He strode behind the woman tied to his desk and with a deft move hoisted her leg up on the desk. Once it was as he wanted Mike's rock hard member found itself teasing her entrance. Nadine whimpered loudly as she felt his blunt head teasing her folds. The angle she was in left her no wiggle room and Mike used that to his advantage. With a growl he slowly inched his way deep into her waiting canal. As soon as he was fully imbedded in her Nadine's head fell back and Mike snatched her hair as he leaned down to her ear. "From now on you belong to me. You do as I say, as I wish, and above all, whatever I desire, is that clear?" he simply stated to her. "Yes!" Nadine whimpered loudly. "Good," was all he said as without warning he did exactly what she commanded of him earlier. Mike's hands found her hips and without a sound he began to pump his hips, slowly at first, but with an ever increasing tempo. In her helpless position Nadine could only put her head down and cry out as he savaged her depths. What was fun last night quickly devolved into raw, brutal fucking as Mike continued to increase his pace. Every whimper, gasp, and pleading beg, that came from Nadine was brought about by Mike's seemingly unending stamina. Just as she thought he would come, he didn't only to have her erupt in a teeth clenching orgasm of her own. Her body would spasm and ground under his assault, but for what felt like an eternity he didn't relent. By the Horns Ch. 05 "How does it feel to be mine?" Mike whispered as he slowed down just so slightly. Nadine tried to answer him, but he timed the question as she came again. The scream she let out turned into a slap on her exposed ass cheek making another scream come from her. Mike growled as he again got close to her ear. "You have a bad habit of not answering me. Do you remember what I told Meli last night?" he asked in a calm tone. "Yes Mike!" she gasped out. "And what did I ask her again?" he asked as he lunged deep into her and held it there. "How do I want to prove that I'm yours!" she screamed loudly. "And what did she agree to?" Mike asked and slapped her ass again. Nadine howled as she came again. "You didn't answer me," Mike said firmly and slapped her ass again. "If she wanted a baby in her belly!" Nadine whimpered. "Ahh, you do habla no?" Mike said using the Spanish word in inflection. "Si papi!" she whimpered loudly as he slipped out. Mike chuckled as he went on, "Y eso me convierte en su papi?" "Si papi! Ai!" Nadine screamed as he slid all the way in her again. "That's good to hear baby girl," Mike growled as he began to buck again. Nadine's head spun out of control as he fucked her relentlessly now. Mike was lost to his own passions as he fucked her raw, that he couldn't help the melt down beginning in him.. Nadine howled and screeched as time went on only to have him slap her ass again and again making his point clear. It was very soon during that she started to equate each slap with an orgasm and soon each time he slapped her ass she came harder and harder. Mike felt his own ending coming and before he could stop himself he grabbed her hips hard and Nadine felt something brewing. Like the night before he slammed deep into her several times, then with a loud roar Mike's cock scalded her insides as it spewed forth a massive deposit. Nadine shook wildly as she felt the deposit burn its way into her womb and down her thigh. Shaking Mike slowly slipped out of her and when he did Nadine screamed as she came again. This last orgasm was more than she could take and she passed out. Time seemed to be immaterial for Nadine. She was out cold. No dreams, thoughts, or anything went through her mind, only blackness. The way the light filtered through her hooded eyes showed that it was night time. She was on Mike's bed and dressed in a simple long shirt and panties. She knew they were nice ones as she could feel the lace as she turned to her side. What she also felt was her legs were also encased in something. Her eyes scanned over them and she saw a pair of cute white knee high socks on and she smiled at her warm toes. Nadine turned her head and when she did, she saw Mike standing in the doorway looking at her. He wore a pair of jeans and nothing else. He simply leaned against the wall and looked down at the slumbering princess on his bed. A smile on his face showed her how he was feeling as she somehow got out of bed and walked over to him. Each step was pure torture as she had a mini quake with each tentative step, but still she made it to her goal. When she was next to him she stopped a few inches from him. Her eyes scanned up to his warm face, and as their eyes met she felt a warmth in her body that compelled her to act. That act was a simple one as her arms went around his back and he hugged her close to him. They held each other close for several long seconds before Mike decided to break the silence. He leaned close to her ear and when his lips were next to the delicate lobe he kissed it gently then softly spoke to her as she sighed happily. "Now, you're were you belong," Mike said softly. Nadine said nothing, only nodded her head as her man held her tight.
