Four-Alarm Blaze [Southern Heat 4] (13 page)

“He’s being brought in from the next county,” Nina said. “Damn it! Every second counts in a situation like this. We can’t wait. I’m going in.”

“What the hell are you talking about, Nina? You can’t go in there. As far as he knows, the two of you died in that fire.”

“Well, I think if that surveillance camera is working, he has cause to think otherwise, don’t you?”

“Shit, I forgot about that.” Logan said.

“It doesn’t matter, Nina, you still can’t go in there,” Kyle added.

Nina looked more determined than ever. “I’ve been trained for this. He tased me before I got the chance to talk to him. Trust me. I know what I’m doing.”

Pulling her to the side, Logan confronted her. “Don’t do this, Nina.” Staring intensely into her eyes, he said, “If something happens to you, it’ll kill me.”

Stepping up on her left, Kyle said, “We didn’t save you from that fire to lose you now. Listen to us, baby. Stay here.”

“I love you both so much, but years ago, I lost someone very special to me. Danny left Debbie in that building, and she died. No one else is going to be hurt by him—not on my watch,” Nina replied before she hugged and kissed them both, walking off toward the officers.

“Come on, Laura. You’ll need to speak with the police now,” Logan said.

“Are you ready?” Kyle asked.

“Yes, I’m ready,” she confirmed.

Entering the pharmacy wearing a Kevlar vest, Nina detected the strong smell gasoline that filled the room. It almost panicked her, making her want to turn and run, but she refused to move. Standing her ground, she called out to Danny in the darkness.

“Daniel Oliver, this is Nina Taylor!” she shouted, strapping on a pair of night goggles. “Now you know I didn’t die in that fire you set and neither did Laura. You need to let Crystal and her father go.”

“Nice try, bitch!” Danny shouted back. “You two are alive, but Debbie’s dead. They’ll fry me for what I did to her. Nah, we’re all staying put. You need to go back out there and tell the boys in blue that we’re not moving.”

Nina felt her palms begin to moisten. Her patience was wearing thin, but with three lives at stake, not to mention her own, she had to remain calm. “Let me come back there with you. I only want to talk.”

Danny stuck his head out of Mr. Newman’s office. His baby face was dripping with sweat so much so that his dark brown hair was limp and sticking to his forehead. “Talk time is over. I want those cops outside gone. If you can’t make that happen, Crystal and daddy dearest are going up in flames.”

The next thing Nina heard was the distinct sound of snickering coming from the office.

“I’ve poured gasoline all over them. If the cops don’t back off and let me get to my car, I’m going to torch them both!”

Inching closer to the manager’s office, Nina spoke in a low tone. “That’s not going to happen. I swore to myself it would never happen again…never again.”

Looking out of the door again, Danny said, “Get your ass out of here before I—“

The sound of a single gunshot rang out from aisle three across the entirety of the pharmacy. A split second later, from the manager’s office, Crystal started screaming uncontrollably. Nina removed the goggles and ran toward the office as the SWAT team moved in.

Danny lay bleeding on the floor of the store. His breathing was labored. The single shot Nina fired into him with her Beretta penetrated his left shoulder. She straddled his body and handcuffed him while Crystal and Mr. Newman emerged from the office unharmed.

“It’s over,” Nina told them as the cops moved in to remove Danny from the scene.

“Thank you, Ms. Taylor,” Mr. Newman said. “You saved our lives. We’re eternally grateful.”

Crystal hugged Nina with tears in her eyes. “Thank you so much. Danny told us he was responsible for all of the recent fires in town. He is so sick. He even laughed about it,” she said before leaving the store with her father.

Logan and Kyle rushed pass the officers to be at Nina’s side.

“Baby, are you OK?” Logan asked, wrapping his arms around her.

“I’m fine,” she said, looking a bit out of sorts. “I’ve never fired my weapon at anyone until now.”

Kyle kissed her forehead and asked, “Where did that come from?”

“I pulled it from my glove compartment,” Nina answered.

“Damn, girl, remind me to never piss you off,” Kyle commented.

“Let’s get outta here, tomorrow is going to be paperwork day,” she said.

“You’ve got that right,” Logan confirmed, running his hand through his hair.

“Yeah, well, let’s wrap this up. We’ve got a date Friday night,” Kyle stated.

“What are you talking about?” Nina asked.

Kyle glared at her playfully. “Uh, have you forgotten about the Halloween extravaganza?”

“With everything that’s happened, I guess I did,” Nina admitted. “I don’t have anything to wear.”

“Don’t worry, baby. We’ve got this,” Logan told her.

“That’s what I’m worried about,” Nina said with a smile.

Friday night in the town of Melville, Louisiana was a time for joy and celebration. Thanks to the efforts of Nina Taylor, Logan Brock, and Kyle Rogers, Daniel Oliver, the murderer of Deborah Bennett and the serial arsonist who sparked terror throughout the town, was finally in police custody.

Logan and Kyle were decked out in full cowboy attire, including cowhide boots and six-shooters. The costume they chose for Nina was that of a bar maid, complete with garters and a plunging neckline. When they entered the town hall, they were met with hearty cheers and applause.

For the next couple of hours, the trio mingled among the large crowd, sampling the huge spread of food contributed by several local merchants and a few community organizations. Nina took turns dancing with Kyle and Logan, and the trio even participated in a fun-filled country line dance.

The Melville Preservation Society chose Nina as one of their guest speakers. When she took to the podium, she spoke briefly. “Thank you all for your support. Over the past several weeks, the town of Melville has been plagued by a rash of fires, the results of a serial arsonist. We’ve suffered the loss of several family homes, but not as tragic as the loss of one of our own.”

Kyle and Logan stood at the back of the room with looks that offered Nina encouragement. She exchanged a few glances with them before continuing.

“Deborah Bennett was a resident of Melville. She was young, vibrant, and full of hope. In a senseless, vicious act, Daniel Oliver stole her future by taking her life, but her memory will remain in our hearts forever. And to ensure that we never forget, the Melville Preservation Society has arranged for a college scholarship in her honor. As it turns out, Debbie possessed a love for photography. I’m pleased to announce that beginning next year, one graduating Melville High School student will receive a five-thousand-dollar academic scholarship in Debbie’s name to pursue a career in photo journalism. Thank you all for your support, and enjoy the festivities.”

The residents cheered and applauded again as Nina left the podium to rejoin Logan and Kyle.

“You did real good, Cali,” Kyle said.

“I’ll say. She’s racking up a lot of points,” Logan added.

“What kind of points?” Nina questioned.

Kyle smiled at her. “You’ll find out soon enough.”

The highlight of the event was the annual pyrotechnic show that went off without incident. Everyone in attendance gathered on the front lawn of the town hall to witness the sensational display of Halloween-themed fireworks shooting into the night sky, bursting into an array of brilliant light.

They left the festival and arrived home around midnight. Kyle headed for the living room bar to wrestle up a few rounds of drinks.

Plopping down on the comfortable living room sofa, Nina rested her head against the back of the seat. “Whew, the festival was great. I haven’t had that much fun in a long time.”

Logan sat on the love seat opposite her. “It’s nice to see you smiling again. I think happy looks good on you.”

“It sure does,” Kyle confirmed, offering them drinks.

“Everything started happening so fast, I haven’t really thanked you both for saving Laura and me. If you hadn’t arrived when you did—”

Kyle interrupted her statement with a lingering kiss. “You are the most important person in our lives, Nina. You know that don’t you?”

“Yes, I know, but I still wanted to say thank you to you both,” she explained. After taking a big swallow of the whiskey sour, she said, “Now if you’ll excuse me for a moment, I’m going to get out of this get up.”

“Why would you do that?” Logan asked.

Nina looked at him with a puzzled look. “What do you mean?”

“It took us an hour to pick out that costume for you. It goes back to the store tomorrow,” Kyle said with a mischievous smile perched upon his lips. “If you really want to show us your appreciation, you’ll let us enjoy it for the rest of the night.”

“Exactly how do you two plan on doing that?” Nina asked with an air of suspicion in her voice.

“Hey, Cali, come over here,” Logan requested.

Kyle took Nina by the hand and walked her over to Logan.

“What are we doing?” she asked.

Kyle began to slowly move his hands along the length of her thighs, feeling the silkiness of her sheer black stockings that lead to her ruffled garters.

“Oh, they’re beautiful on you,” Logan told her. “Show me more.”

Raising Nina’s dress higher, Kyle exposed her sheer black lace panties.

Logan unzipped his trousers and pulled his hard cock and big balls out of his underwear. “Show me how you play with her pussy.”

Kyle licked Nina’s neck and then gently sucked on it as he slipped his hand into her panties, separating her soft, bare lips to finger her clitoris.

Nina’s breath quickened. Kyle’s finger strokes were making her pussy slick with juice. And if that wasn’t enough, watching Logan masturbate was creating a delightful cowboy fantasy within her mind. When his huge cock was stiff as stone, he joined them, pulling her dress off of her shoulders down her arms. He unsnapped the front of her black lace bra and freed her full breasts.

Logan studied Nina’s tits as if he was trying to decide how to pleasure them. Cupping them in his hands, he fondled her pink nipples with his thumbs until they were aroused, standing at attention.

“You were right, Logan. I like this game,” she confirmed.

Kyle pulled her panties off of her round bottom to massage her smooth cheeks.

“What are you doing back there?” she asked.

“Your ass is so tight. It needs to be loosened up a bit,” Kyle explained.

He made Nina laugh. “What are you saying? Massaging me back there is going to do that?”

Smiling at her, he said, “No, I just like touching you. Oh, it feels so good in my hands. It’s so firm but soft at the same time. It makes me want to stick my hard dick in it.”

“Put your hand inside your panties, Nina,” Logan requested. “I want you to masturbate for me.”

Doing as he asked, Nina started fingering her clit, stimulating her pink bud until it poked out of its hood. When she removed her hand, Logan said, “Stick your fingers in my mouth. I want to suck on them.”

She watched Logan’s tongue slide across her fingers as Kyle kneeled behind her. Parting her round cheeks, he started licking her puckered pink rim.

“Tell me what he’s doing to you,” Logan instructed.

“He’s tonguing me back there,” she replied.

“How does it feel?” he asked.

“It feels amazing,” she replied.

After sucking the last bit of pussy juice from her delicate fingers, Logan stared into her eyes. “Do you want Kyle to tongue-fuck your tight asshole while I suck on your big tits?”

“Yes, that’s what I want,” she whispered.

“If we do that for you, what will you do for us?” Logan asked.

“I’ll suck on both of your big, stiff cocks at the same time until you come in my mouth.”

Logan gently squeezed her mounds within his hands, circling her raised areolas with his tongue before sucking each erect nipple into his mouth.

Servicing her body with their tongues lulled Nina into the depths of sexual arousal. They made her want them more than ever before, and she wanted them now. As Kyle continued to pleasure her backside, she said to Logan, “I want your sweet dick in my mouth right now.”

“Why?” he asked teasingly.

“I need to suck on it deep and hard until you shoot a big creamy load of cum for me.”

“What about Kyle?” Don’t you want to suck him off, too?”

“You know I do. I want to suck the both of you off at the same time while you watch,” Nina told him, licking her lips.

“I say we give her exactly what she wants,” Kyle told him.

The two men started removing every stitch of clothing they wore. It always pleased Nina when they stripped down to nothing for her. Their muscular bodies and rippled abs turned her on to no end. They made her feel so special, so needed and wanted. It was time for her to show them just how much they meant to her.
