From This Moment (Jackson Hole)

by Alison Chaffin Higson

  We’ve just finished loading the dishwasher and tidying around when we hear the door bell. I look at Cade, “I think it may be Anna and Beth, they did say they would come over in the afternoon to see us, before we left.”

  I follow behind Cade; he gets to the door and as soon as it’s opened both Anna and Beth practically attack him, hugging him and congratulating us both. They both come over, giving me a hug, dragging my left hand up to look at my ring.

  “Wow. That is some ring.”

  “Beth..... that’s because it’s the only engagement ring, I ever intend to buy.”

  “Congratulations Rona.... and thank you for making our Dad so happy.” Anna gives me a hug.

  I can feel myself starting to get emotional. Although Cade has told me that they accept me as the woman he wants to marry, actually hearing it from Anna makes me all choked. Deep down I still have the worry that because of our age difference they might not be as agreeable as they make out. But this seems real.

  “Welcome to the family Rona.... I hope you aren’t angry at Dad for asking our permission. The fact is we can see how good you are for him so saying no wasn’t an option. In fact, I think if we had said no, he would have married you anyway, and just so you don’t misunderstand what I’m saying, I’m saying that I really am glad you are marrying our Dad. He’s probably the happiest guy alive right now.... well except maybe for Mack,” Beth adds.

  “Damn it, Beth.”

  With us all laughing now, except Cade who looks a bit pale, I go over and put my arm around him; he pulls me in close.

  “Dad get real, I have two kids. How do you think I got them?” Beth smirks.

  “A stork delivered them!”

  Taking Cade by the hand, I lead him towards the lounge, “I think you need to sit down honey before you start with anymore fairy tales.” Looking towards his daughters, I ask, “Does anyone want some coffee?”

  “Please Rona,” they both say in tandem.

  “Where’s Jake? His truck is still outside.”

  “Beth, I think he’s getting as ‘happy’ as Mack!” I say stunning everyone into silence for a split second.

  ~~ Cade ~~

  After Beth and Anna leave, Rona heads upstairs to pack. That was an hour ago. Deciding to go see what she’s up to, I head up to our room expecting to find clothes everywhere. Our room, I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of thinking that.

  Pushing the door open I’m surprised to find Rona’s suitcase, obviously packed, open on the floor with the top part resting against the wall. Her purse is on the dresser with her passport on top and she’s curled up on the bed asleep, facing towards the window.

  Going over to the opposite side of the bed, I lie down next to her gently so as not to wake her. Lying on my side, I just look at her. She is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen and soon she will be mine forever. Taking her hand, I can’t help but stroke her finger where my ring sits. It’s perfect. I have bought her the matching wedding band as well. I hadn’t even given thought to a wedding band for myself, but I will rectify that in Dubai, during our overnight stay.

  Noticing Rona waking up, I lean closer and kiss her on the lips, “Hi, Sleeping Beauty.”

  With a sleepy smile, “Hi, Prince Charming.”

  “You look as though you’re all packed.”

  “I am. Just a few things to go in later.”

  I pull her more into my arms with her head resting against my chest, “Do you remember when you first arrived here, how you said you wanted to go to the Maldives?”

  Rona goes very still; she lifts her eyes to look at me and nods. I smile down at her, “Well, I’ve booked us into a Grand Water Villa for two weeks.”

  She starts to cry placing her lips to mine for a tender kiss, “Thank you, I love you so much. I’m not sure I can take any more surprises. I’m ready to burst.” She just about manages to say, before I pull her back against me, running my hand up and down her back to sooth her.

  “Love, there is just one more surprise.”

  Taking hold of her head, I smooth my thumbs under her eyes to catch her tears, “I would be honored if you would marry me while we’re in the Maldives?”

  Really crying now, she just buries her face into my chest, shaking with tears.

  Coming up for air, I mop her face up with tissues. “Here, I wasn’t expecting all the tears,” I say, rather shakily.

  “Yes, yes I will marry you in the Maldives.” Her face is filled with a mixture of tears and laughter. “I’m sorry.... just being with you makes me so happy, but everything you have done for me is so perfect. I feel overwhelmed. I’m afraid you might have to put up with me crying all over you a few more times yet.”

  “Cry on me anytime you want love. I’ll always hold you and mop up afterwards.” I hope to get a smile out of her – which I do.

  Chapter 22

  ~~ Rona ~~

  Dressing this evening with Elise is fun and exciting. I can’t stop looking at my ring which sparkles every time I move my hand, much to Elise’s amusement.

  I’ve just shoved her into the bathroom with her dress telling her to stop putting off wearing it and to get it on.

  I have my red dress on again, with the matching heels and although I’d told Elise to go commando, I have a red lacy thong on as I wasn’t sure I could go out there totally bare with Jake being present. I had picked a blue one up for Elise, which I gave her along with the dress, much to her relief, if the sigh she let out was anything to go by.

  Elise finally appears in the bathroom doorway. She looks stunning, “Wow, Elise. Jake is going to pass out on the spot when he sees you or if he doesn’t, I bet he’ll have an instant erection.”

  “Oh my god, I can’t believe you said that.” Elise laughs and looks in shock with how outspoken I am.

  “Why not? It’s true. Although he might carry you off to his cave before the meal, in which case I’ll put both your dinner’s in the oven to keep warm.”

  I laugh at Elise who doesn’t seem too confident in her dress, “Elise chill, it’s only Jake, the guy you’re going to marry, I’m sure he’s seen you naked before, so don’t panic. You look amazing, you really do.”

  “Thanks Rona, you look really hot as well. In fact, I can’t wait to see how Cade reacts to you dressed like that.”

  “Then I suggest we get this show on the road.” Thinking it might be better to let them have a few minutes alone first, “Elise go and wait in the spare room and I’ll get Cade up here. When he enters our bedroom you sneak out and go downstairs. Make sure you have Jake’s attention before walking down. Cade and I will follow in about five minutes.”

  “I might be able to pull this off if Cade isn’t watching as well.”

  After Elise goes into the other bedroom, I shout Cade to come help me upstairs. Deciding to get his blood going early on, I sit on the edge of the bed with my legs crossed. My dress rides up my thighs practically to the top. Leaning back slightly on my elbows, I decide it’s enough. My nipples are already outlined against the front of my dress and I’m so turned on I’m not sure I won’t jump him the minute he walks through the door.

  “You called love?” Walking through the door, he stops in his tracks. Speechless.

  “You like, honey?” Shutting the door without answering, he walks towards me – never taking his eyes from me. Standing directly in front of me he goes down to his knees and opening my thighs, settles between them.

  He smoothes his hands up my legs from my ankles, sliding them higher by the second. Reaching the apex of my thighs, he spreads his fingers over the top of them and brushes his thumbs over my mound and between my legs. I moan. Moving my thong aside he rubs one of his thumbs around my clit.

  “God, you’re so wet for me. Seeing you like this has me so worked up I’m seconds away. If I don’t stop, I’m going to come in my pants.... again.”

  “Don’t you dare stop.” I sit up on the bed, and lean over unzipping his pants, releasing his erection which is throbbing and wet on t
he tip. Taking a tight hold of him has Cade panting with me. Moving my thong to the side, I slide off the bed, impaling myself on his penis. I plunder and lick in and out of his mouth, imitating what I want him to do to me with his penis, which is twitching inside me.

  Leaning slightly back, I spread my arms out and with Cade holding my butt it’s easy to move up and down on him, squeezing my inner muscles.

  Our breathing starts to get more erratic, “I can’t hold on love.” Cade manages to gasp.

  “I’m so close.” I manage to say, just as Cade reaches down and applies pressure to my clit; I writhe on top of his penis in ecstasy. We come together in an explosive orgasm, that doesn’t want to stop.

  Cade gathers me into his arms and just holds me while our breathing starts to even out. Still impaled on his growing shaft, I can’t help but start to squeeze him with my muscles. He feels so damn good.

  “Love, you have to stop.... I don’t want you to, but have you forgotten Jake and Elise are waiting for us?”

  He brings me back to the present. I’d actually forgotten about Jake and Elise.

  Shit.

  “Oh no, how long have we been up here?”

  He laughs at me now. I start standing up, which again drags a groan out of us both. He feels so good sliding out of me, “Not long.”

  Looking down at Cade, who’s on his knees with his penis still hard, sticking up in front of him, glistening with our joint juices has me bringing my legs together to try and stop the surge of lust I feel at the sight.

  Climbing to his feet on what appears to be shaky legs, he holds his pants up with one hand and brings me in close with his other hand. He places a quick kiss to my lips, “Go get cleaned up. Then it’s my turn, before we head down and pray Jake doesn’t have Elise on the table, like I did you.”

  ~~ Cade ~~

  Walking out of the bathroom after cleaning up, I find Rona leaning against the door still looking hot and bothered not to mention sexy as hell. I can already feel myself getting hard again which is the reason I’d worn my shirt over the trousers, instead of one that needs tucking in. I’d anticipated being hard as hell all evening. Even the orgasm we’ve just shared a few minutes ago hasn’t dulled my body’s response to my fiancée.

  Just thinking of the word fiancée makes my heart flip with anticipation and joy. Never before have I felt like this. Walking towards her, I lace our fingers together then place a soft kiss to her lips, “Let’s go see Jake’s reaction to Elise.”

  Heading downstairs, I can see a rather disheveled Elise and my rather embarrassed son. He has obviously had the same reaction to Elise that I have to Rona in the next to nothing sexy dress.

  “Hi, sorry to keep you waiting.... Elise looks hot doesn’t she, Jake?” Rona asks, winking at Elise and going over to Jake patting his arm; I’m sure she’s wearing her wicked grin.

  Clearing his throat, “Yes, she does.”

  Turning her back to us and some back it is, Rona heads towards the oven. “Let’s get some food on the table, I don’t know about you three, but I’ve sure worked up an appetite!” To which Jake responds by choking on his drink.

  God, I really wish I could gag her right now. I’m certain Jake doesn’t want to know about my sex life. I sure as hell don’t want to hear about his. But right now we are probably both hiding a hard-on under our shirts.

  I sit down to dinner with a sigh of relief; there is no chance of anyone catching a glimpse of my huge erection, which I’m now hiding under the table. I’m uncomfortable as hell in my trousers and just need the zipper down so my cock can be free instead of squashed. The meal is going to be hell.

  Looking across to Jake; he has his head down while shoveling food down his throat, “What’s the hurry Jake?”

  “Dessert!”

  “Elise or strawberries and cream?” Rona asks Jake.

  With a big grin, “Both.”

  “Good answer son.”

  I really hope Jake decides dessert is going to take place in his room as I’m seconds away from carting Rona upstairs.

  Rona stands up from the table to start clearing the dishes, and puts her hand on my arm to stop me from helping her, which I’m glad about as I’m not sure I’m able to walk. “Jake, can you help me in the kitchen?” Thank god she hasn’t asked me, although if Jake is in the same condition, then he’s probably cursing her.

  “Seriously?” Jake asks, with a pleading look.

  “Oh Jake, cover it with your shirt and follow me.”

  Choking on the last bit of food in his mouth, he gets up to follow my very hot woman across the room to the kitchen, while Elise and I stay behind.

  ~~ Rona ~~

  Arriving in the kitchen and depositing everything on to the counter top, I turn to Jake who looks like a deer caught in the headlights, “Relax Jake, I’m not going to eat you.”

  “Thank god, I’m not sure I can survive anymore of this torture. Have you seen Elise?”

  Chuckling at him, “Of course I’ve seen her, Jake.” I’m really attached to Jake he’s so cute and loveable and I love winding him up. Smiling wickedly at him, “What do you think of how I look in this dress?” I strike a pose and flutter my eye lashes.

  He laughs now, “You look hot, as you already know. You’ve tortured my father all through the meal.”

  “Just like Elise has done to you?” I pull two dishes out of the refrigerator and pass one dish of strawberries to Jake, along with a spray can of cream.

  “I want you to promise me something.” I whisper, so my voice doesn’t travel.

  “Will this promise get me into trouble?”

  Laughing at him, “No, but if you break it you’ll get a hell of a shock.”

  With his eyes widening, “What do you mean?”

  “I’ll spell it out to you. I’m going to seduce your father in the lounge and I would rather not have his son watching. Is that too much information?”

  “Shit.”

  “So take the strawberries, cream and of course Elise to your room and eat your dessert off your woman.”

  “Shit.”

  “Jake, move it!”

  “See you around eleven for your lift to the airport?” He dashes off towards Elise.

  “Not before!” I follow him with my own bowl of strawberries.

  Glancing at his father, then to me, “No chance.”

  “Elise, come on, let’s go get dessert.” Helping a startled Elise from her chair he takes her hand as they disappear to their room.

  “What was that all about?”

  “I told Jake to go eat his dessert off Elise in their room and not to come out until it’s time for the airport.”

  He looks at me through lust filled eyes, “And why would you do that?”

  Walking over to the chair in the lounge, I place the strawberries and cream on the side table and press the remote to draw the blinds over the windows.

  Turning back around to face Cade on the other side of the lounge, “Because, I’m going to strip you naked, massage your balls, lick cream off your cock and then suck you dry.”

  He gulps – loud. Cade looks frozen to the spot, “Fuck.”

  I start to pull my dress down while still looking at him, baring first my breasts, then my hips. I pause, waiting for him to make eye contact with me, and when he does, I drop the dress to the floor stepping out of it. Still in my heels, still looking at Cade, I slide my thong down my legs.

  Seeing his aroused expression, I turn around giving him a view of my ass. I bend over to pick my dress and thong up, dragging one hell of a curse from his lips.

  I throw my dress and thong onto the sofa and slowly start to walk towards Cade, who’s sporting an enormous erection from what I can see.

  Moving into his personal space, “Hi honey. Don’t touch me yet. Are you enjoying the show so far?” I ask him, starting to undo the buttons on his shirt. He doesn’t answer. I carry on with his shirt. When all the buttons are undone, including the ones at his cuff, I smooth my hands inside onto hi
s chest moving upwards over his shoulders. I rub my breasts against him. The tips are rock hard. I finish pushing his shirt down his arms with my hands.

  Feeling his clenched fists, I finally take his shirt off and toss it away. I place a kiss on each of his nipples, like he does to me, noticing how hard he’s breathing.

  I kneel in front of him. “You’re killing me,” he says, between clenched teeth.
