Damon's Challenge(4)
“Do you want to see your room?” Andy said, pulling him out of his thoughts.
Meredith stayed tense at the sink, washing the dishes.
Getting up from his seat, he followed Andy up the main staircase. “This is a nice place.”
“It’s a family heirloom as such. My mom and dad had it passed down to them and so on. Meredith loves the place, but she wants it filled with little kids.” Andy opened a couple of doors. “We’ve got more than enough room for some little critters of our own.”
“You don’t want kids?” Damon asked, detecting the slight anger in Andy’s voice.
“I want kids. I love them. I just can’t handle sharing my woman. Working on the ranch, I don’t get enough time with her as it is. Kids will cut into what little time I’ve got with her.”
That wasn’t entirely true. Andy clearly didn’t feel their relationship was strong enough to handle a couple of kids, and Damon knew it wasn’t. How the fuck had he been travelling through life, going from town to town, to stumble on his dream town? He’d seen what was happening in Creek Valley, and he loved it. The women devoted to two men and also the dominance with one member. The two couples he’d seen in town were evidence of that.
All of his life he’d struggled to piece together his dream life of having a man and woman at his feet, submitting to him. The women he’d been with loved the idea of two men for a once in a lifetime thing, and the men didn’t want a woman. Every time he’d tried to find the right two people to fit his needs, Damon had ended up with egg on his face. There was one time he literally got egg on his face when his lover had thrown eggs at him.
He was bisexual and a Dominant. Those two combinations, for some strange reason, were hard to settle down with.
Andy closed the doors. “It doesn’t matter. I love her with my whole heart. I’m not going to put a stop to something she loves. There’s ten years between us, and I don’t want to be running around in my old age.”
They moved down three doors.
“This is mine and Meredith’s room, and across the hall is where you’ll be staying.”
The door opposite their room, Damon walked inside. He went straight for the window, seeing the view overlooked the ranch.
“I hope you like it. We don’t have much.”
“You’ve got a beautiful ranch, a wonderful home, and a brilliant wife, Andy. You’re living the dream.”
Andy smiled. “Thank you.”
Silence settled on the room, and he felt Andy’s nerves across the floor.
“How long will you be staying?”
“I don’t know. I need to fix my bike and get me some money together. Hopefully not too long. I don’t want to impose on you,” Damon said. The Dom was screaming for him to stay forever. He wouldn’t do it. This was not his place to settle down.
“Well, you can stay for however long you’d like. I could do with the help, and Meredith won’t mind at all.”
Nodding, Damon turned his attention onto the other man. “I’ll consider it.”
The sound of steps coming toward him forced Andy to step outside the door. “If you need anything let us know. We want you to be comfortable.”
“I will do.” He smiled at Meredith as she stood next to Andy.
“Goodnight, Damon.” She kissed Andy’s cheek and walked into their bedroom.
In no time at all he was alone with his thoughts. Within minutes he heard the bed creaking in the room across from him. Sitting on his bed, he listened to Meredith’s feminine sounds and Andy’s groans. When they hit completion even he heard the disappointment in both of them.
They need your help.
No, he wouldn’t do it. No one needed anything from him, and he wasn’t sticking around to find anything out.
Chapter One
One year later
Andy stormed out of the ranch house into the setting sun. It was almost winter once again, and life outside was starting to wear thin for him. Putting on his gloves he moved toward the stable where he kept a fresh load of hay for his cattle. He found Damon forking through the hay as he entered the old stable. A couple of years ago during the summer he’d built a second stable for his horses to be more comfortable with. He’d found the plans his father left him before his parents went on a world tour. His two fathers and mother kept in touch every couple of months, but he was thankful they didn’t call every day otherwise he’d feel like they were checking up on him. The ranch was no longer in his parents’ names. They’d passed it over to him a good few years ago when they knew he was ready to take over.
“Morning,” Andy said, gritting his teeth as he watched Damon working. He was so happy the other man had decided to stay for as long as he could. His bike was close to being fixed. Over the last year they’d suffered through one hell of a winter, which meant the parts were late to arrive. The extended delivery time along with sourcing the parts made for a long, long wait.
