Must Be Love

by Baker, Tory

  Chapter 20

  Aubrey

  “I never thought it would be like that. You hear so many girls that lose their virginity and it’s the worst experience ever,” I tell him honestly.

  Cade’s still inside me and hard as a rock. “I thought that didn’t happen either.” I tighten my pussy down on his cock.

  “Fuck, babe. You keep doing that and I won’t hold back, and you won’t be able to walk tomorrow, much less work.” He moves his hips in a lazy motion. Making me want more, but knowing I’ll be sore, too. I quit grasping his cock with my muscles and he slowly pulls out.

  Cade is watching as he slowly leaves my body. I look down at what his gaze is so intent on. My eyes wander down to where we were once connected, looking at the mix of us together that’s leaking out.

  “Fuck, that’s hot,” he grunts as he plays with the essence from us. I slowly start to close my legs, but he holds them open.

  “Don’t, baby. I love the look of this right here,” he says as he slowly pushes his finger back in while he uses his thumb to play with my clit.

  I moan out and start rocking my hips to the slow dance he’s doing between my legs. It’s like a slow dance, being built up to a faster tempo.

  My arms go behind my head and hold onto the pillow as another orgasm takes me over the edge.

  “Oh god, Cade,” my voice is raspy, from what he’s done to me.

  He takes his finger out of my center and slowly draws the come that’s on his finger, messaging on the top of my bare pussy.

  “Stay, just like this. I’m going to clean you up,” he demands and then he’s walking in all of his naked glory. His muscles flex with every step of the way. When I lose sight of him, I sigh out loud. Wanting him back in my presence, he looks back after I make it loud enough to be heard.

  He grins over his shoulder, and yeah. That grin is enough to make me do anything he wants. It’s something he only does in front of me. Like it’s for me and only me.

  I hear the water turn on and then off. He’s walking back and I wasn’t kidding when I sighed out loud before. His front is just as amazing as his backside, arms that are muscular from chopping wood and working in the field. His chest has a light dusting of hair, abs that aren’t over the top, but just there with a happy trail that leads down to his cock. He’s still hard and when he catches me staring at it. He chuckles, “I totally just got caught, didn’t I?” I mumbled.

  “Yeah, you did. But I like your eyes on me,” he says with mischief in his tone.

  He comes back between my legs and I feel him press a warm washcloth between my legs and it feels heavenly.

  “Thank you,” I sigh out.

  “Anything for you Aubs, anything,” Cade grunts out as he gets back off the bed and puts the now dirty washcloth in the laundry basket. He comes back to bed and slides in beside me. We’re both naked, and the warmth radiating off of his body lulls me to a light sleep, but not before I whisper into the night, “I wouldn’t change one drunken night, if it meant waking up and having you in my life.”

  “Best night of my life,” I hear Cade reply and then I drift off to sleep.

  Chapter 21

  Cade

  Waking up with Aubrey in my arms, it’s the best feeling in the world. I’d be a liar if I said I wasn’t tempted to wake her up with my body between her legs, but looking at the alarm clock and the fact that I know she’s going to be sore, stops me.

  I hate leaving her alone in bed. If I could take today off and laze around with her, I fucking would.

  Unfortunately, today is the day we meet with the landowners to see if we won the project and it would look horrible if both owners didn’t show up.

  After I get out of bed, I stand on the side watching Aubrey. She snuggles into my pillow and that brings a smile to my face. I can’t wait till the weekend when I can have her around me all day and all night.

  It doesn’t take me long to get ready and then I head downstairs, knowing that she doesn’t have to wake up until I’m almost out the door. I give her as much sleep as possible.

  I feed Axe, then make a pot of coffee for my travel thermos and get Aubrey’s tea going. After talking to her as much as possible, I feel like I’ve known her a lot longer than a few days.

  When you know, you just know.

  I head back up to the master bedroom and slowly peel back the sheets, seeing her naked and in my bed.

  I want her in my bed, always. I want her to make a stamp on this house and turn it into a home, and I damn sure want her ripe with my child.

  “No,” she grumbles as she tries to grab the blankets to put back on her body. Placing a knee on the bed, I sink in beside her and bring my lips to hers and kiss her awake.

  “Good morning,” I whisper huskily into her ear. The desire in my voice isn’t something I can hide from her.

  “Morning,” she grumbles, but she gets as close to me as possible.

  “I have a few more minutes, but then I’ve got to head out. You waking up for the day?” I question.

  “Uh, yeah. I guess I better. I bet Dr. Smith would yell the clinic down if I was late. Then the whole town would really be gossiping,” she grouses.

  I climb off the bed, taking her with me, as we stand by the bed. She’s naked to my clothed body. Every part of me wants to say fuck work and get back in bed.

  “Hi,” she says with sleep still in her eyes, but a smile on her face.

  “Hey,” I reply. She giggles and I let her go.

  “I’ll be right down, don’t leave yet. Please?” she asks.

  “I won’t leave without telling you, promise,” I tell her. She heads to the bathroom and I head back downstairs, knowing if I stay neither one of us would get to work today.

  Chapter 22

  Aubrey

  I’m so glad today is finally Friday. The clinic has been slammed this week with an injury or an accident of some kind every day. It breaks my heart to see animals in pain, it’s probably why I’m looking forward to the weekend off.

  Cade and I talked as much as we could, but we were both falling asleep on the phone at times. It sucked sleeping alone, even if all we got was one night. I missed the spiciness of his smell, the warmth of his body, and being cradled all night long.

  When Cade asked me to spend the weekend with him, I said yes without hesitation. Here I am now, back at my apartment packing my weekender bag. More like over packing, that’s just who I am and now that the weather is turning colder and colder each day. I swear I’m having to wear even more layers.

  I’m just finishing up packing my toiletry bag as the last item, when I hear a knock at the door.

  “Just a minute!” I yell out. I grab my bag and head for the door. After I take care of whoever’s here, I’m heading to Cade’s. I got off work a few hours early, so I figured I’d head over and take Axe out and hang around his place.

  I open the door and stop in my tracks, the man I can’t seem to quit thinking about is right here. He has Axe with him and a spray of wildflowers, my world rights itself and I fly into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist.

  Our lips meet each other’s and he’s taking everything I have to give and more. My whole being feels like it belongs with Cade. When we’re in the moment, just the two of us.

  We finally break apart. I’m still wrapped around his body. I don’t want to let go of him. We may have only known each other a short amount of time, but I know Cade is my everything.

  “I missed you, Aubs. Can’t stand not having you in my bed every night,” he rasps, as I finally lower my legs and slide down his body. I feel the hard ridge of his dick and I whimper in need, “I missed you, too. Sleeping was nearly impossible,” I reply back.

  “Where are your bags?” he asks.

  “In the bedroom.” I’m about to tell him I’ll grab them, but he’s already striding to where they are.

  I bend down to pet Axe and coo at him, “I missed you too, boy.”

  “This is it?” he questions as he’s ho
lding my weekender bag.

  “Yep, let me grab my purse and lock up,” I reply back.

  “We’ll be back to get more of your things, soon,” he states.

  “What does that mean?”

  “I want you with me always. It’s been two days Aubrey. I hate waking up without you tangled in the sheets with me. I get home late at night and I instantly want to turn right back around and be with you.” His hands are on my shoulders as he looks into my eyes.

  “I want that, too,” I reply, breathlessly.

  “Good, it’s settled. We’ll come back Sunday and move you into my place,” he says, grabbing my keys and walking Axe and I out of the place I’ve called home the past few months. I leave with a smile, knowing that this is just the beginning.

  Chapter 23

  Cade

  I won’t lie, not to myself and sure as hell not to my father. I told him I was going to do my damnedest to convince Aubrey to move in with me this weekend. He shook his head and said, “You sound like me when I was your age. I took one look at your mother and knew she was it. We were married two weeks later, lived a lot of years, until she was taken from me.”

  I saw the sadness in his eyes. I know life is short and I didn’t want an hour to pass me by and not have Aubs with me.

  I was worried that she would say it was too soon, that we should wait awhile longer, but when she gave me her smile and said yes, I was ready to walk her down the aisle and make her mine, so everyone in town would know it, too.

  With that thought in mind, I know what I’ll be doing as soon as I get a spare moment. I’ll be heading to the jewelry shop, but first I need to get Aubrey’s phone and make a call to her father. I know she’s a daddy’s girl, and she loves her mom just as much. If I were in his shoes, I’d at least want the man to have the balls and courtesy of giving me a heads up.

  We get home in a matter of fifteen minutes. Axe is in the backseat barking every now and then, ready to get out and sniff the ground. The past couple of days, even he’s been sad and grumpy without Aubrey here.

  “Want to go out on the four-wheeler?” I ask her after I stow her bag in the master bedroom.

  “I’d love to, I need to change first though.” She looks down at her work uniform that consists of scrubs, a long-sleeve shirt under her top, and sneakers.

  “Take your time,” I tell her and then I load up some snacks and a couple of drinks for us.

  I didn’t think to take something out for dinner, my mind was set on picking her up, and nothing else. Hopefully this will hold us over until we get back, then we can throw some frozen pizzas in the oven.

  Heading outside, I go to the barn and start up the four-wheeler and drive it closer to the house. I leave it running so I can grab the snacks. But Aubrey stops me in my tracks. She’s in skintight jeans, boots that go up over her ankles, a white tee shirt underneath that is molded to her body, with a flannel on over it, and a beanie. She’s fucking beautiful and all mine. What really stops me though, and nearly steals my breath away, is her smile. Her face is lit up with her smile, her whole face has a look of pure happiness. It radiates off her. “Am I dressed warmly enough?” she asks.

  “Yeah,” my voice croaks out and I stomp towards her. I need her taste on my tongue and her wrapped up in my arms again.

  I take her mouth and she gives back just as good as she gets. My hand finds her breast, and I feel her pert nipple. It’s pebbled, and damn it, I want my mouth on it. I pinch it and she mewls out loud.

  “Cade,” she whimpers.

  “Fuck, I know. I need you, too,” I tell her as we break apart. My forehead landing on hers. My hand may have left her breast, but it’s secure on her waist now.

  “Maybe later?” she offers.

  “Without a fucking doubt,” I reply and then we head out to the four-wheeler. We aren’t going very far, and we won’t be gone very long, but I figure it’ll give us both some time to decompress.

  I climb on and then Aubrey is climbing up behind me. Her body is glued to mine. When her arms wrap around my waist, I can feel the pebbled tips of her nipples, and the heat of her pussy on my body, even through the layers of our clothes.

  I clasp my hand on her legs, bringing her even closer to me. This may give me the biggest case of blue balls yet, but fuck, the anticipation of it will be worth it.

  Chapter 24

  Aubrey

  It was so much fun riding around with Cade. As dusk began to set, I got colder and had to burrow more into him. It also made it harder for me to control my rampant hormones and desire.

  After he felt me shivering, he clasped one hand on my thigh and held me there, as he maneuvered us back home.

  Home. It’s going to be our place now and I can’t wait to see what the future will hold. We make it back in record time and Cade shuts down the four-wheeler, leaving it outside instead of putting it back in the barn.

  I stand and stretch my arms over my head, taking in the evening air when Cade comes up in front of me, leans down and then I’m up and over his shoulder.

  “Cade!” I bellow, but really it comes out as a laugh. I use his ass for purchase. Slightly kneading it. His whole body is a work of art and it’s not something that’s made in a gym like most of the guys these days. No, his is from hard work and definitely from splitting logs by hand. Something I know he does if he gets up too early and can’t go back to bed. It’s one of the things he’s mentioned on the phone before and I can’t wait to watch him do it, only I hope he’ll be shirtless.

  He’s hoofing it upstairs and into the master bathroom and then he brings me up to stand in front of him. My smile hasn’t left my face and his signature smirk, that’s just for me, is in place. His beard has some growth on it, and I flush when I think of how it’ll feel between my legs.

  “I’m going to make that pretty little blush creep down your whole fucking body,” he grunts as he peels his flannel and undershirt off in one swoop. I follow his lead. I toe my boots off and then peel my socks off. Once those are done, I toss my own flannel to the floor. I stop in my tracks, as I see Cade has everything off except his jeans and those are open, and his hand is fisting his cock as I slowly continue stripping for him.

  My shirt whipped over my head and I push down my jeans and step out of them. I’m left in nothing but my sheer, white, lacy bra and panties. He can see everything clearly — from my nipples down to my bare pussy. I’m so wet for him, it’s not even funny.

  “Turn around,” he demands.

  I do just that and then he’s there behind me. The mirror is in front of us. He’s looking at his hands as they roam over my curves, taking in my breasts as he takes the straps down and then flicks open the clasp. My breasts are immediately bare to him. My head falls back on him as he massages them. One hand is staying on my breast as he plays and manipulates my nipple, as the other one delves into my panties. I spread my legs, wanting what only Cade can give me.

  “Look at you, all flush and wanting me. Most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” he grunts.

  I reach behind him and find his cock. I stroke him as he continues to fuck me with his fingers, his palm hitting my clit as he thrusts in and out.

  “More, please,” I beg. I want more, but what I really want is to give him the feeling he gives me every time I orgasm.

  “Taking my time with you, babe. I want to draw this out and make it last,” he replies.

  I twist my body around, and he slowly disengages from my body, but I want to taste him. It’s one of those things we haven’t done yet.

  I drop to my knees. I’m eye level with his cock and I’m greedy for something I’ve yet to ever do. “Help me?” I question.

  He tilts my head up, so I’m looking into his eyes as he says, “We’ll take this slow. Only do what you want, okay?”

  “Okay.” Then he gives me direction. I follow his lead as he brings my lips to the head of his dick and I open up on instinct alone. Taking a tentative lick and loving the flavor. I continue and lick down his length,
until he’s completely wet and only then do I let my mouth engulf his head.

  “Just like that, Aubs. Fuck, babe. Keep doing what you’re doing,” he says as his hips slowly piston and his length delves deeper into my mouth.

  I bring my hand into play. What I can’t take in my mouth, I use my hand to help along the way. The way I’m giving Cade pleasure is enough to make me want him even more.

  “Play with your pussy for me, Aubrey. I’m going to come when you do,” he groans out.

  My hand finds my panties and I set to play with myself as I give Cade pleasure.

  He pulls out of my mouth abruptly and grasps my hand that is on his cock. He glides it up and down. My body is ready to come just from watching him. I insert a finger into my center and grind into my palm as I come. I feel warmth on my chest and open my eyes to see thick and heavy ropes of Cade’s essence on my breasts.

  “Fuck,” he grunts, and his head tips back as he finishes. He drops down to his knees in front of me and takes my mouth in a searing hot kiss.

  One week later

  Our weekend was beyond incomparable. We were going to wait to move Aubrey into my place on Sunday, but she asked if we could do it on Saturday, so we could laze around as much as possible before our work week started.

  Apparently, she was doing a month to month rental, and her place came furnished. She didn’t have much. Well, clothes. She had an abundance of clothes and shoes. Other than that, it was trinkets, books, and a few other things. It only took us a few hours to load up and she was following me home in her car.

  I had to sneak to get Aubrey’s parents phone number, but I knew I had to make this call to them. I wanted her to be my wife as soon as I could carry her down the aisle.
