She stops and looks at me, “I’m not sure what’s going on, but there’s no need to be jealous about me and Jake, because there isn’t a ‘me and Jake’. Jake really is only a friend, more like a brother really.”
With tears in her eyes, “I saw you kiss him when you arrived.”
I sigh, “I saw you in the window and I guess I wanted to see whether you still have any feelings for him, and you do.” As she wipes her eyes, I continue, “If you are still in love with Jake, which I think you are, you can’t marry Tom, it isn’t fair to him and it isn’t fair to Jake either.”
Leaning against her car, “Jake doesn’t care about me anymore. He doesn’t even talk to me,” she tells me, crying now.
“I think if you tell Jake how you feel you will be very surprised.... that is of course, if he doesn’t put his foot in his mouth, I mean he is a guy and you make him nervous.”
Moving the tissue from her face, “I do?”
Laughing now, “You have no idea. I’ve never met Tom, but you can’t marry him when you’re still in love with Jake. Think about it.” I then turn away, heading back towards the house.
Walking back inside, “Anna, would you mind if I ask Jake to drop me off at the house when he gets here? I really don’t feel too good.” I rub my temples.
“No that’s fine. What’s wrong? Do you want any painkillers?” Anna asks looking concerned.
Going to my purse I retrieve a painkiller, “I have a tablet, a glass of water would be good, please.”
I must have only been resting on the sofa for about fifteen minutes when Jake appears. I’m sure he’s early.
Jake comes in and crouches down in front of me, “Hey, what’s wrong? Anna rang and said you were unwell and want to go home.”
“Oh Jake, I just have a headache, probably everything from this morning catching up on me.”
“Come on, I’m going to take you home.” Jake helps me up. I love it when Cade and Jake call it home to me.
“I think I’d better stay home with Rona,” Jake tells Anna.
“Jake, you don’t need to stay with me, I’m going to go to bed and I’ll probably be there all night. You might as well come back and eat.”
Arriving back to the house Jake insists on accompanying me to my room. Once inside he starts fussing over me. Pulling the bedspread down, so I can get into bed, going to the bathroom for a glass of water and setting it down on the table beside the bed. “Do you need anything else?”
“No, that’s fine. I really will be okay after I’ve had a sleep, please don’t worry.” Picking my pajamas up, I head towards the bathroom, stopping to hug Jake, “Thank you, now go eat with your sister and her family.”
“If you’re sure you’ll be okay, then I will.” Jake hesitates by the door.
I wake up a few hours later to my phone ringing. Knowing its Cade, I try to compose myself, “Hi Cade, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, but what about you, did I wake you, you sound sleepy?”
“I was asleep. I had a headache earlier so Jake brought me home and after him fussing over me, I climbed into bed to sleep it off. It’s gone now so don’t worry.”
Sighing down the phone, and probably running his fingers through his hair, which he does when he’s worried, “Are you sure you’re okay love? I wish I was there with you.”
“I’m fine, please don’t worry. I get stress headaches now and again.” I snuggle into the duvet.
After a pause, “Why are you stressed?”
On a nervous sigh, I realize I need to tell Cade about this morning, “Nick paid me a visit this morning, at the house. He had a friend follow us from the hotel yesterday.”
Cade is really quiet now on the phone, so I continue, wanting to get it all out. “He forced his way in and I guess he really frightened me. Luckily, I had my phone in my pocket. I managed to speed dial Jake so he came to the rescue, and punched Nick in the face just as the Sheriff arrived.”
I wasn’t going to tell him over the phone what was said.
Cade is still quiet. “Please say something!”
“I’m not sure what to say, I’m so angry and upset right now.” Cade sounds all choked up.
I feel tears come to my eyes, “At me?” I ask softly, crying now.
“God, love, I could never be angry with you. Please don’t cry. I’m angry that happened to you and that I wasn’t there to hold you, but never at you. I love you and I’m really worried about you. I wish I was there with you.”
Managing to control my tears, “I love you too, and I can’t wait to see you tomorrow, but please don’t worry about me. I’m just going to sleep until morning and then you’ll be home later.”
“Where’s Jake?”
“I insisted he went back to Anna’s for dinner, because I was going to sleep. He may be back by now.”
“Rona, you shouldn’t be alone.”
“It’s okay. Nick was arrested, he’s not around and Jake deserves a good meal at his sisters.”
“All right,” sighing heavily. “Hell, I want to be there with you, just to hold you all night and keep you safe.”
At this, tears well up again. Knowing I’m about to have a very big cry, “Oh Cade, I want that as well, but you’re in Denver. Please don’t worry. I’ll be fine until tomorrow. I really need to go back to sleep now.”
“Alright love, I’ll see you tomorrow night.”
“Love you, goodnight.”
Hanging up the phone, I can’t hold my tears back, I know Cade is upset. I could hear it in his voice. I hadn’t wanted to hang up, but I don’t want him to know how upset I am.
Chapter 9
~~ Cade ~~
Arriving home at two in the morning, exhausted and worried about Rona, I only just remember to switch off the security system, before I wake the house up.
After Rona’s phone call, I knew I couldn’t stay in Denver, so as it happened I had enough time to get on the next flight home. I left a voicemail for John, my boss at the law firm, grabbed my bag and left.
Going upstairs desperate to see Rona, I make a quick detour to my room and change into t-shirt and sweats before heading to her room.
She’s left the small lamp switched on by the desk. I can just make her out asleep in the bed.
The last thing I want to do is give her a fright. I walk over to the bed and crouch down, stroking the side of her face, “Rona, wake up for a minute.”
“Cade,” she says, very sleepily, with her eyes still shut, “Good dream.”
Smiling now, “Love, it’s not a dream.” At this her eyes fly open.
“Oh, my god.” She sits up, then bursts into tears.
“Oh love, don’t cry. I’m here now. You’re okay.” I hold her while she cries. After several minutes she calms down and dries her face with a tissue.
“I can’t believe you’re here.”
“It’s okay, lie back down. I’m sleeping here and going to hold you all night. If that’s okay?” I ask climbing on the bed. Once settled, “All I could think about was getting home to you.” I kiss her on the forehead.
Taking her into my arms, she turns to face me, wrapping her arm around my waist and our legs tangle. “Thank you, for making me feel loved and cherished. I didn’t want to admit how much I wanted you here with me, holding me.”
“I know there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.” I lean forward to kiss her.
Nibbling on her bottom lip then moving up to the top, I continue my assault on her senses. Using my tongue to trace the seam of her lips, she opens her mouth. I seal my mouth to hers in a hot kiss that has my erection trying to burst out of my sweats and Rona pushing against me trying to get closer.
Pulling away from me, “Cade, make love to me.”
Oh boy, “I didn’t come to you tonight with the intention of making love to you. I need you to know that. I just need to have you in my arms while you sleep.”
Sitting up, she takes her top off, baring the most perfect breasts I’ve ever seen. My breathing q
uickens. Her breasts are the creamiest of white, with rose tinted tips.
“I’ve wanted you inside me since the airport. I can’t wait any longer. You can hold me later.” She’s now taking her pajama shorts off. I lie motionless gazing at her.
I suck in my breath at the beautiful nakedness in front of me – from her rose tipped breasts, to the dark curls between her thighs, covering a feast waiting for my mouth. She’s exquisite.
I close my eyes to try and control my body’s reaction, before I come in my pants. Again.
All of a sudden, I feel the bed dip slightly as she moves towards me. I feel her hands on my waist as she starts pushing my sweats over my hips. She pushes them lower – my cock bursts free.
She moves my sweats all the way down and off, tossing them on the floor. As she races back up my body, she places a kiss to the tip of my shaft. My eyes fly open. I arch up off the bed in shock and pleasure.
Christ, I very nearly embarrassed myself.
“Rona…. you have me so worked up. If you touch me there, I won’t last and I want to come inside you.”
With a wicked grin she starts pulling my t-shirt off. “You have an amazing body. I only have to be near you and I’m wet. Here, feel what you do to me.” She takes my hand and places it between her legs. Heaven help me – she’s wet. I start moving my fingers through her wetness from her sex to her clit. I pull her back down beside me, placing my mouth against hers. We kiss as though we’re starving for each other – which we are.
Inserting one finger into her, she starts moaning against my mouth. I add another finger and start moving both fingers back and forth. I move slowly down her body to her breasts. I lick and nibble around her nipple before sucking it into my mouth. Using my hand I take her other nipple between my fingers and apply pressure. She arches off the bed. Rubbing her clit with my thumb, I start to suck her breast into my mouth. Shouting my name, she comes around my fingers.
Withdrawing my fingers from her, I position myself between her legs and in one thrust I’m inside her to the hilt. I can still feel her coming against my cock. I start to move slowly. She wraps her legs around my waist; god, does she feel good. She’s so wet, hot and tight – heaven! Continuing to move slowly inside her, she takes hold of my face and brings me closer for one hell of a hot kiss. “Faster,” she begs.
I start pounding in and out of her – she’s moaning, moving her head from side to side. She’s obviously close to another orgasm. I feel my balls start to tingle and then I’m coming in the best orgasm of my life. It seems to go on forever, especially when Rona comes around my shaft, squeezing and milking me dry.
When we finally come up for air, I place a kiss on her lips while we move onto our sides, still connected, still entwined.
Looking into Rona’s eyes, I move a strand of her hair behind her ear, smiling, “God, love, you feel so amazing.... I love you,” I smooth my hand over her ribs to her hips.
Withdrawing from her, I realize I haven’t worn a condom. I should be bothered, but I find I’m not. Having Rona pregnant with my child would be amazing. I’m not sure how Rona will feel though, “I didn’t wear a condom.”
She leans over and kisses me, “How do you feel about that?” I can’t believe she’s bothered about me more than herself. “I’ve never made love before, but the times I’ve had sex it has always been with protection. I’m okay health wise as well.”
“Tonight was the first time in twenty years that I haven’t worn a condom. I’ve also never made love before. I love you, so if I’ve made you pregnant tonight, well, although not planned, I would be thrilled.” Seeing the grin which lights her face, I add, “Having my child growing inside you would make me the happiest guy on the planet.”
“I love you too, and would love nothing more than having your baby growing inside me. In fact, I actually imagined it that night we went to Anna’s for dinner. You had Edith in your arms and I was watching you both from the kitchen, I thought how great it would be if it was our baby in your arms so that I had the right to go and cuddle up with you both.”
“Wow, you bring me to my knees you know that?”
Kissing my chest, she snuggles into me; I wrap my arms around her and hold her as she sleeps. Finally drifting off to sleep, she’s still wrapped in my arms.
~~ Rona ~~
Mmm, waking up naked in Cade’s arms feels wonderful. I spent the rest of the night in his arms and we talked about babies. Wow.
I knew I would have to tell him everything from yesterday morning, but for now, I have a wakeup call to give. So hiding my worries, I lift my head from his chest to look at him, he’s still asleep. Grinning, I decide to investigate his body and see how long it takes him to wake up.
Placing a kiss on his chest, I rise up, moving over to his side. Leaning over him, I suck on each of his nipples, which includes a little nip, hoping to get a reaction out of him. I’m not disappointed. “What are you doing?”
Laughing, “Trying to wake you up.”
“I’m already up.” He glances down his body.
Now he’s awake, I climb back on top of him, this time straddling his waist. Leaning over, I place a kiss on his lips. “Good morning.”
“Good morning, I could get used to waking up like this.”
Grinning, I start moving down his body, kissing, licking and biting his nipples. Moving down his chest with my lips, I dip my tongue into his navel – making him squirm – his penis between my breasts enlarges. I slightly raise my chest and rub my breasts against him. His hands cup my head, trying to move me downwards.
Moving on, I tease him with kisses on both hip bones. Reaching his penis, which is leaking at the tip, I stick my tongue out moving towards him. I hear him groan. Licking him along the slit, I slowly continue down his shaft to his balls, taking one into my mouth. I gently suck. Releasing it, I do the same to the other one – his hips gyrate with pleasure.
Teasing him even more, I leave his shaft and move down. First his left leg to his foot, coming back up his right leg, moving my hand to stroke between his legs.
“I’m about two seconds from exploding.” He groans. “Oh god.” I suck the tip into my mouth while humming at the same time.
Lifting my head to look at him, he’s watching me, with eyes full of love and lust. Smiling at him, “Let me love you.”
I lick him from base to tip, licking around the head of his penis, where he’s leaking again. He starts to breathe really heavy. I suck the tip into my mouth and use my tongue, swirling it around the head and sucking. He’s now holding my head in place groaning. “Any second.” He chokes out.
Sucking him fully into my mouth, he slides down my throat. I breathe through my nose, swallowing at the same time as I gently squeeze his balls. My finger caresses him between his thighs. Shouting my name, he explodes – orgasmically down my throat. I swallow everything he has, his grip loosens on my head.
Releasing him slowly, I lick around the head of his penis to make sure he’s clean. I move over to the side and he cradles me in his arms. Smiling. “You look like the cat that got the cream.” He grins.
“Did I do that right?” Hearing my question he freezes. “I’ve never done that before. I just had to taste you, and you’re yummy.”
“Sometimes, you leave me speechless. Not that I’ve had that many, but that was most certainly the best. I can’t move.” Cade’s still grinning.
With a smug smile, “I think I’m going to shower, you can go next. If you come in there with me, we won’t be out anytime soon, and I promised Jake I’d go into Jackson with him sometime this morning.”
“I’ll go shower in my room and meet you downstairs for breakfast, because if I stay here I’ll end up in that shower with you.” Cade starts pulling his sweats and t-shirt on.
“Cade wait, I need to tell you about Nick.”
Meeting my eyes, “I know love. I rang Daniel last night after talking to you. He told me what Nick threatened you with and what he said. Daniel is holding him for now as th
ere is apparently some interest by law enforcement from out of town who want to talk to him. From what I can gather he’s in big trouble, so going nowhere anytime soon.”
“Oh boy!.... okay.... lets shower, I don’t want to think about him anymore.” Seeing the hopeful look on Cade’s face, “Separately.”
Winking at me, “I knew that!”
Climbing out of bed, I hear Cade sigh. Standing in front of me, he smoothes his hands over my hips, up towards my breasts, which he caresses, placing kisses on each nipple. I moan. Leaning up to kiss him, he puts his hands around me on my butt and pulls me in close for a delicious kiss.
