Caleb's Blessing (11 page)

She moved faster against my mouth and begged me ever so sweetly; only the only word she could get past her lips was ‘please’.

“Please what sugar?”

Her eyes were bright with lust and her skin was overheated and flushed. She was struggling to form the words, but each time I touched her with my tongue she seemed to lose her ability to speak.

Her hard tug on my hair told me without words what she wanted and I slammed into her again.

“Perfect fucking fit.’ Now I was convinced more than ever that her ex was a brain dead fuckwit. Then again if not for his fuck up I wouldn’t be enjoying the best fucking pussy in creation right now.

She has the kind of pussy that could make a man forget everything else just for a taste. “I could stay inside you like this all day baby.” I reared back so that I could look down into her face.

Using my fingertips I trailed a soft line along her face, brushing the tendrils of hair away from her face. “I love you so much.”

“You...”

“Shh, I love you accept it, accept me.” I lifted the finger with my ring to my lips and bit down on the metal as I stroked in and out of her. If nothing else, I needed her to at least believe that she was loved, time will heal the rest.

I waited for her again, though it all but killed me to, but I let her find her pleasure again before seeking mine.

And when I did, when that feeling of electricity running up and down my spine hit me, I let go and spilled my life giving seed into her; and with every drop that flowed into her womb, I prayed it did its job, even as I marked her.

I didn’t give her a chance to give into her embarrassment after we’d both caught our breath; instead I pulled her up and off the bed and dragged us both into a warm shower.

A few minutes later, she was once again speared on my tongue, with her back to the shower wall and her legs over my shoulders, as I knelt at her feet. It looks like I’d found my new favorite meal.

***

We made it back downstairs with five minutes to spare. She was still blushing by the time the boys came trampling in and I hoped they didn’t notice or if they did, they wouldn’t say anything.

“Hey what happened to your neck?” Oh shit, fucking Mikey. Diego kicked his chair hard enough to send his ass to the floor as the rest of them looked from me to her and back.

I ignored their asses and gave her a soft look to let her know that she was okay. Mikey got a clue and shut his yap as he retook his seat. Now he was the one with the red face. Jackass.

The others rushed through lunch and you’ve never heard such polite conversation in all your days. Simon was the first to notice the rock on her finger.

“Well now what’s this? Looks like wedding bells.” That got the attention of the other females and pretty soon everybody had to get a look and the chattering started full force.

“Okay you clowns leave her alone. Come here baby.” I held my hand out for hers and brought her over to my side.

“I was going to tell you later but since you’re so nosy I guess now is as good a time as any. I’ve asked Amanda to marry me and she has said yes.” That wasn’t exactly true but hey, it works.

“So now you know what’s expected, she’s no longer a guest here and though I know I don’t have to ask, as my woman I expect her to be protected. In case you don’t know what that means Mikey, she is now the most important thing on the ranch.”

“I thought she always was boss.”

“Good guy. Now let’s eat and stop making a fuss, she doesn’t like being the center of attention.”

The talk changed to the new garden and what all they had planned. I wasn’t feeling so raw about that anymore, not with my badge of ownership on her finger for all the world to see.

As soon as lunch was over we headed out to the stables to tend the horses and talk away from her ears. “That thing we talked about before, I think we have to move on that soon.”

“You given any thought to how we’re gonna get him here?”

“Not quite, I’ve been giving it some thought and I might wanna do something a little different. I’m not sure yet, but whatever it is has to be soon. I’ll think it over some more and let you boys know what I come up with.

For now I just want to concentrate on making her happy, like the garden, thanks for that.”

“It’s easy being nice to her she’s one of a kind.”

“That she is Jonah, that she is. By the way I asked mom to plan some kind of shindig to celebrate our engagement, she’ll get back to me about when but expect it to be sometime soon.”

“Dammit, why couldn’t we do something for her here, you know what this means? We’re gonna have to wear a monkey suit and all your mama’s friends are gonna get into their cups and pinch our asses when no one else is looking. Ladies my ass.”

“Suck it up cupcake.” Adrian always finds something to bitch about when it comes to parties, but mom always finds a way to shanghai them into doing what she wants.

We made quick work of patching up what needed seeing to before moving onto what needed doing next. It was coming on time to batten down the hatches. In a couple weeks fall will be on us and winter will be right on its ass.

We’d become good at preparing for the shit that could go wrong on the ranch in inclement weather, but there were those things that no amount of planning could prepare you for. We try to get a head start on those too.

She seemed more relaxed that evening after dinner when we sat together in the den watching some drivel or the other that neither of us saw. We were too busy trying to suck each other’s face off.

It wasn’t long before we shed all pretense and I had her pinned under me on the couch. I just simply lifted the hem of the little skirt she wore, released my cock and slipped into her.

It was like coming home again, and as I hit bottom, I wondered if I would always feel that jolt of wild excitement every time I entered her, or would that change with time?

Whatever, I couldn’t imagine a time when I didn’t feel what I felt for her now. There was no way I could ever lose this feeling of overwhelming love and passion.

I lifted her leg over the back of the couch as I dug my cock harder into her. “Do you know what I want to do to you, have you any idea how hard I want to fuck you?”

Her answer was to clutch me behind the head and pull my mouth down to hers for a wild as fuck kiss that went straight to my cock. I guess that was her way of telling me to go for it, so I did.

Pulling out of her in one smooth move, I flipped her over onto her hands and knees and slammed into her from behind. “Fuck.” It was even better than I imagined and I had imagined a lot.

She fit around me like she’d been formed just for me. Her ass fit snuggly into the cradle of my hips each time I pulled her back on my cock.

I gave her a few more marks to match the one on her neck as I rode her pussy hard, stopping every so often to make sure she was still with me.

My head was filled with dreams of the years to come. Years spent loving her like this, days and nights spent showing her all the love I had in my soul for her. I think a whole lifetime should be just about enough to show her.

“Cum for me baby.” I was close again. Her pussy was so tight it was going to take a while and a whole lot of fucking before I was able to last inside her.

I had a wild thought as I felt her liquid heat cover my cock.

“It’s breeding season on the ranch. Guess who’s first on the list.” I emptied a shit load of cum into her belly, making sure to go as deep with my cock as I could, and holding still until I was finished offloading deep inside her.

AMANDA

I’m almost afraid to believe, to hope. I want it so bad that I just know something’s gonna come along and snatch it away from me, something always does.

I haven’t allowed myself to want anything in a long time, because I’m always afraid. It’s better to just go through life day by day keeping my head down and surviving the best I could.

When I snuck away to that shelter in the next town over for help, I had no idea that anything like this would be waiting for me.

The day I received the call that Lance had been released early, I’d just thrown some things in a bag and hightailed it out of town under cover of darkness. I hadn’t even had time to tell anyone where I was going, which come to think of it was a good thing.

Not too many people knew that the shelter was a front for something bigger, and I’ll say a prayer of thanks everyday for the nurse that had snuck me the info the last time that ass had put me in the hospital.

I was just fighting hard to survive in this world that had already given up on me. If I could just find a place to hole up until I get back on my feet was the most I was hoping for.

How was I to know that my forever was waiting for me here? Or that it would be so hard to grab ahold of it?

As I moved around the kitchen that I’d come to think of as my own personal domain, I realized that it had been days if not longer since I’d given Lance a thought.

That in it-self was enough of a reason to accept Caleb’s proposal of marriage. That he could make me forget the most horrible time of my life was a huge accomplishment.

That I fell asleep in his arms at night without a worry or care in the world, after spending the last four years living in fear of closing my eyes, seemed unreal.

The fact that I was crazy in love with him just made the whole thing all the better. And the sex, if that’s what you could call it, was unlike anything I’d ever known or even imagined was possible.

After the brutish treatment I suffered at the hands of the monster I was once hitched to, it was almost surreal to find someone who touched me like I was the most precious thing in his world.

Since the first time we made love, a day hasn’t gone by that we haven’t been together intimately. Even in the afternoons sometimes, Caleb would sneak away and we’d spend hours in bed lost in each other.

I’m pretty sure that the others were onto us, but they never let on, and instead were even kinder and a tad bit more over protective of me; which drives Caleb up the wall when they hover.

It was all happening so fast too, he barely gives me time to think, but now things were getting serious.

I’d been wearing his ring for a week now and it was still taking some getting used to. I honestly never thought that I would ever wear one of these things again.

Never thought I would trust anyone with my heart, not that I’d trusted that snake. But Caleb was different, what I felt for him came naturally. I could no more not love him than I could hate myself. But there was still that one remaining doubt, what if I wasn’t the right one for him?

It’s strange. I never realized being in love with someone meant you put that person’s happiness before your own. I would rather run away if I thought I would bring him sorrow, than to stay here.

But at night when we were all alone he’d whisper to me, words that filled my heart with gladness and made me believe in happily ever after.

He paints pictures for me of what our life together will be and it seems so real that I could reach out and touch it. But at times like this, when I’ve been alone with my thoughts for too long, those words fade just a little and I remember my reality.

His mom was throwing us a party tonight and I am already full of nerves. Caleb kept telling me not to worry that everything was going to be okay, but it was the first time I’d be out among so many people since I’d ran.

I was sure that no one would even think to look for me here, I was clear across the country after all, and had no ties to this place, but I would still feel exposed.

I wish I could be as sure of the evening’s outcome as Caleb seemed to be though. He was so excited, going so far as to have some lady come out here to fit me for new evening gowns.

In the end he’d been the one to choose the gorgeous red gown I was to wear. It was the most beautiful thing I’d ever worn close to my skin. Red satin that clung a little, but not too much, with a sweetheart neckline, and thin straps on the shoulders.

It looked plain enough on the hanger, but once I put it on it took my breath away, Caleb’s too apparently.

It was fun watching him argue with her about needing a shawl or something to cover the back of it while she held her ground because it would spoil the dress.

“What are you thinking about so hard baby? It’s not about tonight is it? Because I already told you that you’re going to be more than fine.”

He came up behind me at the sink and wrapped his arms around me, nuzzling my neck, where he’d left another one of those marks of his, just a few short hours ago.

“No, I’m not worried about it, well not much anyway. I just...” I turned around in his arms and hugged him as tight as I could. Being in his arms was the safest place I’ve ever been in my life.

When he holds me the way he is now, I feel like nothing can touch me. Like all the promises he whispers to me while we’re joined together in the still of the night, will come true.

“You just what sugar?” He held my head back and looked into my eyes. “You have me now baby, nothing will ever get by me to harm you. Not to mention the boys will never let anyone near you. So let me see that beautiful smile.”

How could I not smile? If I didn’t he would take it personally I’m sure, since he seems to have made it his mission in life to make me happy twenty-four seven.

“There she is, now let’s go up to our room I have something to show you.” I gave him a sidelong look and a smirk. “Again?”

“No smart ass I really do have something to show you, but now that you mention it...”

“No you don’t, I have to get lunch going.” I tried to evade his arms but he was too quick. “Feel that?” He pressed his hard-on into my rump.

“Yeah, and? It’s always like that.” And it was; morning, evening, noon and night, it didn’t take much to get him started. My protest went unheard and I laughed my way up the stairs because he was being grabby feely.

He grew serious once we got to the room, and walked me over to the wall where there was a Van Gogh of all things hanging.

I was about to ask him what he was up to when he moved the painting and revealed a safe, from which he removed a long velvet box, and walked over to the bed.

He patted the space next to him. “Come baby.” I sat and watched as he lifted the lid and I almost swallowed my tongue.

“Please tell me those aren’t real.” I actually started to hyperventilate. The necklace was beautiful at first glance, but there’s no way it could be real.

“Of course they are.” He looked at me like I was out of my mind, when he was clearly the one that was off the rails.

“Caleb...” I knew what was coming next, but there was no way I could wear that. The ring was bad enough, the only reason I felt okay wearing it is because of what it represents, and I’m sure he would never let me take it off anyway, but this was something different.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, there was another compartment that held the matching earrings and a bracelet. I’m no expert, but if they were real they had to be worth millions.

There’s no way, “Caleb I don’t deserve...” He couldn’t possibly believe that I was worthy of these; this was too much now surely.

“Hey, whatever you’re about to say don’t, it’ll only piss me off. I’ve been giving you time to get used to me, to us, but that is one thing I will not tolerate, not even from you.

Sometimes life knocks us down baby, and it knocks us down hard as fuck. But if you can get back up, then you’re still in the fight. You’re not only back on your feet, you’re winning this round and I aim to see that you win the whole damn purse. Do I strike you as a stupid man?”

Sometimes his change in topic midstream gives me whiplash. I could only shake my head no, because he was anything but. “No, you’re kind and smart and...”

“Yes, yes I know, I’m the epitome of perfection.” He actually rolled his eyes at me. “Well if I’m so damn smart I will thank you not to call my choice in a wife undeserving or any of the other bullshit you have going on in your head. I will also thank you not to invite that asshole into the most important aspects of our lives thank you very much.”

“But...” I was fighting to hard to hold onto what he was saying; to make myself accept and believe.

“No buts. Now, this was passed down to me as the first son to one-day give to the woman of my heart. That happens to be you, and before you ask, I’ve never even taken it out to look at, or been tempted to give it to anyone else, until you.”

“I don’t know what to say.”

“You don’t have to say anything, just wear it tonight at our engagement party the same way my great-great-great nana did. Now since we’re already up here...”
