Mistletoe, Chapter 3

This is the PSL* portion of our story, so you may skip this chapter if you’re not into that sort of thing.

*Plotless Sweet Lovin’

ljljljljlj

Matt grunted tiredly as he stiffly sank onto the rug in front of the fireplace, unwilling to dirty Kitty’s nice settee with his trail-dusty backside.  Grimacing, he yanked his old boots off one at a time and flexed his toes gratefully in the radiating warmth of the crackling flames.  Rolling his shoulders and neck wearily, he groaned as he listened to the sound of his bones angrily cracking and popping.   The thought of a good night’s sleep after his long, punishing ride from Hays City in the snowstorm was positively balm to his soul, and he sighed at the prospect of curling up next to Kitty in her comfortable brass bed.

The door to Kitty’s bedroom cracked open and he heard her voice from the landing outside, “Night, Sam...and Merry Christmas.  Be careful going home, you hear?”  Then there was a listening pause and she laughed merrily at some remark Sam called up to her, and the sound was like sparkling champagne that Kitty had insisted he drink one New Year’s Eve.  Just like that fancy drink, her laugh bubbled right up to tickle and warm Matt’s insides and make him smile.  

He turned his head just in time to see her glide in, her silken dress and petticoats rustling as she walked towards him, the crimson color stunning against her pale skin, fiery hair and vibrant blue eyes, even in the shadowy light provided by the fireplace and a small lamp by the bedside.  She smoothed her skirts as she lowered herself gracefully onto the settee and placed a gentle hand on Matt’s rough, unshaven cheek.  His mouth went dry at the nearness of her, and he marveled that she could still do that to him after the many years they’d been together.  He’d always thought Kitty Russell was the prettiest girl he’d ever laid eyes on, and she could still devastate this tough old U.S. Marshall with the smallest of touches and an affectionate glance into his wondering eyes.  He was just reminded at how lucky he was to have found such a woman who would put up with him for all this time after all they’d been through.

“Come ‘ere, Cowboy...” she instructed, one corner of her mouth knowingly turning up as he scooted over expectantly in front of her feet.  He sighed contentedly as her fingers began kneading his neck and broad shoulders, working out the kinks he always managed to get while riding long distances on the prairie.  “How’s that feel?” she murmured, brushing a hand over his temple and through his thick hair, her breath grazing coolly over his skin.  Her only answer was a grunt like a big ol’ bear and another sigh as Matt’s head rolled until his chin rested on his chest, relaxing and unwinding, slowly but surely as Kitty’s hands worked their usual magic on his saddle-weary muscles. 

A log shifted in the fireplace and sparks flew in the dimly-lit room.  Matt regretfully moved away to add more wood and poke at the embers until it caught fire, the sap sizzling and sputtering as it heated through.  As he settled back in front of her, she felt his warm hand on her foot, unfastening delicate buttons with surprising deftness and slipping the leather boot from her aching toes.  She made a noise low in her throat as he returned the favor, removing her other boot as well and rubbing her tired feet, his thumbs deliciously massaging her arches, until her eyelids were drifting shut. 

Kitty roused a bit when she felt Matt lightly kissing her inner ankle and his hands sliding warmly beneath her petticoats and over her silk stocking-covered calves.    She hummed drowsily at the feel of those big, calloused hands, but her eyes flew open when her mischievous cowboy’s head also ducked beneath her red silk dress and his fingers began fumbling for the tie on her pantaloons.  “Matt Dillon, what on earth...?” she croaked sleepily.  She distinctly heard him chuckling from deep within the frilly layers of satin and ruffles and lace. 

“I knew you’d had too much to drink tonight...  Oh!”  She quickly lifted her hips with his insistent prodding and he eagerly slid the frilly garment down her legs, dropping them in a silky puddle on the floor along with their abandoned boots. 

His warm lips burned a fiery path slowly up her inner thigh, kissing softly, kissing so very softly, his tongue trailing hotly, until she could no longer sit still.  She exclaimed breathlessly, “I thought you were tired...oh my... “  Her head fell back against the settee as she reveled in the feel of his scratchy beard against her bare skin, knowing she would pay the price dearly tomorrow with raw whisker burn between her tender thighs, but right now she didn’t give a damn because it felt so good, so, so good.  She sincerely hoped Sam was headed home by now, because if he wasn’t, he could surely hear Kitty Russell was having a high time upstairs at the Long Branch.

She managed to lift her head, fretting in a hoarse whisper, “Matt, I know you can’t breathe...you’ve gotta come out from under...oh...there...right there...”  Her breath came in short gasps and her head was swimming at the feel of her man’s mouth against her sensitive flesh, but she managed to pull her voluminous skirts higher and bunch them around her waist so he wouldn’t suffocate.  Oh, stars above, she could just see the headlines in the paper the next day if the marshal of Dodge City smothered to death underneath Kitty Russell’s skirts.  “Oh, Matt...” she gasped as her fingers fisted helplessly in his hair, the roaring fire warming her naked skin.

 Molten to the core, she could feel his scorching breath as he murmured against her throbbing center, “Merry Christmas, Kitten.”  His hair rakishly rumpled from wickedly burrowing beneath her ladylike skirts, he gazed hotly up at her for just an instant as he drank in the look of passionate abandon he’d elicited on her pretty face.  With a dangerous twinkle in his eye and a crooked smile that always proved to be her undoing, he muttered, “You know I love makin’ you purr, honey...” 

The rest was just a blur afterward, when her big, tough lawman made her shatter into a million pieces with his sweet, tender ministrations, holding her and stroking her and loving her as her body was wracked with wave after wave of powerful sensation that absolutely drained her and left her helpless and trembling. 

As she lay back on the settee looking for all the world like a beautiful but wilted crimson red poinsettia, she felt his soft lips brush across her own and then, sweeping her into his powerful arms, he carried her to the bed.  Making quick work of the tiny buttons down her back, she sleepily raised her arms as he lifted the dazzling red garment over her head, draping it carefully over a nearby chair.  He didn’t want to be the ruination of that particular gown because he’d found it so completely captivating.  Kitty Russell in that particular dress would be haunting his lonely dreams when he was out on the barren prairie for a long time to come, he was sure. 

For the briefest moment, he considered leaving on the remainder of her female unmentionables, but he felt the overpowering urge to smooth his hands over her entire body, lay with her skin to skin and be able to feel her heart beat next to his.  And truthfully, by this point in their long relationship, Matt Dillon was an expert at hurriedly removing frilly women’s underthings.  And so he was able to do so, carefully and gently, like unwrapping a beautiful Christmas package, he thought, pausing only to brush Kitty’s tousled curls off her sweat-dampened forehead.  He placed a lingering kiss there as she draped her arms limply around his neck.  Laying her back on the bed, he admired her creamy nakedness as she stretched her arms languidly above her head on the pillow, waiting patiently for him.   

He shucked his own pants and underclothes, anxious to taste her tight, pink rosebud nipples in his mouth, slide his palms over every inch of her skin and sheath himself inside her welcoming body. 
She’d been watching him for some time through slitted eyelids, but when he stood before her naked as the day he was born she sat up slowly on the edge of the bed.  One delicate brow arched as she looked pointedly down.  He followed her gaze and saw she was gazing at his sock feet. 

“You know, Matt, you always get better traction on the bed sheets when you take those off, remember?”

A slow, lazy grin spread across his face as he answered, “Yeah, you’re right, honey.”  Stripping them off, he stood before her appreciative scrutiny, part of his anatomy standing at rigid attention. 

“Mm-mm-mmm,” she said as she bit her lip, and called, “C’mere, Cowboy,” for the second time that night in a low, inviting voice that made her big, strong lawman shiver in anticipation.  She drew him into her arms and nestled her head against his sex, making him groan with the sensory overload—warm breath, soft skin, flowing curls, gentle hands...  Then she rained kisses on the impressive, heated silky length of him and suckled him into her mouth, pleasuring her man while his hands tangled in her hair, pins scattering on the floor around them until he gave a hoarse cry for her to stop.  Pressing her back against the bed, he covered her with his big body that was as hot as a blast furnace, sliding his hands over her impossibly delicate, dewy skin and touching her everywhere at once as she wrapped her long legs around his waist and whispered urgently, “I want to feel you inside me...”

“I’d be glad to oblige you, little lady” he said with clenched teeth, trying to hold back until he was within her satiny embrace.   She made a soft mewling sound as he touched the swollen, tender flesh between her legs and slipped easily into her velvety opening in spite of his size.  He kissed her temple and moved slowly to prolong the heady ecstasy.

She breathed deeply as he moved within her body, gazing into his eyes, remembering the first time Matt Dillon had touched her intimately, so many years ago--how it had been a revelation.  Who’d have thought that a girl with her background could learn something new about the art of love, but her sweet Cowboy had taught it to her, that’s for certain.  He was a generous and patient lover who tended to her needs.  She’d never even considered that she’d had needs before she met Matt.  She realized she’d never really known what love was until she crossed paths with the handsome young marshal of Dodge City.  Yes, he had indeed been a revelation to a jaded, gun-shy young lady who’d been forced to use her body to put food in her mouth and a roof over her head, and she shuddered to think what would have become of her if he hadn’t come along. 

A tear trickled from the corner of her eye down to the pillow as they moved together as one, and he dipped his head low to kiss away the saltiness.  “What’s the matter, honey?” he murmured, and she was looking into the same sweet, clear blue eyes, fringed with long, thick lashes that she’d fallen in love with a dozen-odd years ago.

Whispering, she answered lightly, “Not a thing...” and tried to laugh, but her breath caught in her throat with another deep stroke of his hard length within her.

 She swallowed the lump in her throat and said, “You kissed me in front of everybody tonight, Matt Dillon.”

His hips moved slowly, slowly over her, making her gasp while he answered, “I know I did, honey.  You’re not mad, are ya’?” 

“No...Matt...”  Her voice was barely a whisper.  “You’ve made me so happy.”

Then he reached down and touched her, caressed her just right, making Kitty arch her back and cry out with abandon again, a sound that sent a shiver down his spine and made his toes curl.  And when her intimate muscles embraced him tightly, desperately, he was lost, lost in her warmth, hotly spilling his seed inside of his sweet girl.  They collapsed, boneless and perspiring, entwined together as he whispered insistently against her temple, “You’ve always made me happy, Kitty.”

“I have?”

He heard the snow and wind still howling outside the bedroom window as he soaked in the sensations that surrounded him--the crackling of the fire casting flickering shadows in the room, the big, warm brass bed, a full, round stomach...but most of all the softness and comfort of Kitty’s body lying nestled against him, deliciously skin to skin--always there for him whenever he came back home.  He didn’t know what he’d do without her.  He answered, “Yeah, you have...and I guess it’s about time I showed it.” 

Matt tucked the covers around her, wrapping a long arm around her waist, and whispered, “Goodnight, sweetheart.” 

“Merry Christmas, Cowboy,” she murmured groggily and contentedly drifted off to sleep in his happy embrace.
