Piper (Queen's Birds of Prey #4) - Kathi S. Barton Page 0,54

going to be a long while before this stuff could be divided up. Remi was looking forward to using a few of the pieces in her new home. She only hoped that if she ever had a mate, he’d like what she had. Or he could just leave. At this point in her life, Remi could take a man or leave him. It no longer seemed important to her to have a man around all the time.

Piper walked around the cave twice before she found the things she’d been looking for. Looking at her list, she had a long way to go before she was finished up. They had each remembered something they wanted her to look for. One of the things was the harness that the queen rode on when flying upon Mercy’s back. She knew where she’d seen it last, so headed in that direction. Grant came from one of the many smaller caves with his arms loaded down with things too. Piper went to help him.

“I should have figured I’d find things I’d like to take back with us.” Piper asked him what he’d found. “Well, I did find that picture of the seascape that we were to look for. It’s very well done. Do you know who the signature is?”

“Yes. If you look at it closely, you can make it out too.” Grant picked up the framed painting and held it close to his face. Finally, when he got it, he looked at her. “I had no idea why he never took it out of here in the first place. It’s a wonderful work of art. I’m sure if you were to look for that name there, he’s been painting like that forever. Who would have thought that Duncan would sign his work DHQD? But if you know what his middle name is, it makes sense. Duncan Harrison, Son of Queen Dante.”

“He’s really good. Even as old as I believe this is, Duncan really was quite the painter.” She told him there were more, but she’d not been able to locate them. “I think I have a couple of smaller paintings of his. They were marked for me to sell them for the cash for unknown projects. I have a feeling, however, that she knew just what projects they would be used for. Don’t you?”

“Dante could see the future in bits and pieces, I found out later. I have no idea how extensive they were. However, Duncan told me that she gave him a list of companies to buy up and when to sell them off. It’s what kept him from ever running out of money to keep the town surviving.” He asked her if that was legal. “I’m not sure it could be insider trading since she gave him the information well before the companies were made. I mean, I think that would be why it’s not illegal.”

“You’re more than likely right. I never thought of the companies not even existing yet.” Grant laughed a little. “Well, I guess we should finish up here. I have plans to take you as many ways I can think of tonight.”

“Why must we wait?” She moved toward him and hoped she was making a good move. “I would love nothing more than to take your cock into my mouth and suck you down my throat.”

“Christ, woman. The things that come out of your mouth.”

Piper bent in front of him and unbuttoned his jeans. He didn’t say anything more, but she could read his face and see that he was needy.

Taking his cock out of his pants, she heard his sharp inhale of breath as she wrapped her hand around his thickness, watching Grant’s face. Kissing the tip, she moaned when his cock leaked onto her lips. Taking him into her mouth, she knew this was the way a man should be made love to.

His cock was thick and long. She couldn’t swallow all of him past her tight throat, but he seemed to be enjoying what she was able to. As she fondled his balls, making sure they had as much attention as she was giving his cock, Grant wrapped his hand into her hair and held her still. Piper wasn’t having any of that.

Letting his cock go, she licked him from root to tip. Lingering over the crown of him, she tickled the opening several times before he cried out enough. Piper wanted to make him come all over her. To mark her in a way that
