Indulgence (210 page)

“You ready?” I smiled at Lisa in the mirror. She looked
amazing. Her hair was pinned up with crystal snowflakes speckled throughout it.

“I think so.” She turned to me with a huge smile on her
face. “I can’t thank you enough, Cassidy. You’ve worked so hard putting this
wedding together for your dad and me.”

I waved her off, “It was my pleasure. I’m glad you two are
finally making it official.”

“Soon I hope to return the favor.” She hugged me tightly.

“We’ll see.” My tone gave me away.

“Honey, I’m sorry he hasn’t called. Don’t think the worst.
It’ll all work out.”

I willed myself not to cry. I swallowed down the tears that
cut like razors in my throat as I nodded at her. “Alright, let’s do this!”

I couldn’t help but look for him as I walked down the aisle,
spotting Jane my heart leapt with hope. I took my place across from Dad and Cal
as all eyes fell to Lisa.

She began her walk toward my father and I glanced at him,
catching him swipe at a tear. I was so happy for him, he deserved to be happy.
The music was swelling as Lisa finally joined my father. She placed her hand in
his and the ceremony got under way.

Done

~ JAMES ~

Cassidy was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Her
hair was pulled to the side in an elegant ponytail that was draped over her
shoulder. She was killing another blue dress, but this one wasn’t long like the
one she wore for the auction. I wanted to take her out back and fuck her in the
snow the first chance I got.

She had spotted Jane and I could tell that she was looking
for me. I wanted her to be mine, forever.
Whoa dude, relax.
It hit me
that I had never said that about anyone before; my playboy ways and my heart
warred with one another. Everyone was right. I
was
in love with her. I
don’t know why I kept denying it. I moved out from the shadows as the ceremony
continued as her gaze was focused on the happy couple. I remained standing in
the back of the barn just watching her. The vows were a mere whisper compared
to the beating of my heart.

Pulled from my reverie as the crowd cheered the kissing
couple, I joined in the applause as her eyes turned and found mine. I hated
that look of insecurity on her face, looking at me wondering if I still wanted
her. Didn’t she know that I would always want her?

Dave and Lisa made their way back down the aisle with Cal
and Cassidy following behind. She was pulled into greeting guests and then
pictures almost immediately. I tried to object when her Dad and Lisa insisted
that I join in the photographs, but the pleading in her eyes and Jane dragging
me behind her convinced me. The photographer took some of just Cassidy and me,
too.

“You look ravishing.” I whispered in her ear as the
photographer posed us.

“Right back at ya!” She gave my arm a reassuring squeeze.

“If you’re not careful, I’m going to take you up in the hay
loft and have my way with you.” The beautiful flush that I loved so much took
over her cheeks.

“Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” She winked at me
before copping a feel, rubbing her behind against me as she stood in front of
me.

“I think you know me better than that.”

“Do I?”

She was pushing me intentionally, wanting me to throttle her
with my cock the first chance I got. After the pictures were over I gave the
photographer my card so I could purchase my own copies. I then dragged her to a
dark corner while everyone seized the opportunity to congratulate Dave and
Lisa.

Pushing her up against the barn wall with a little more
force than necessary, pressing into her while stealing a kiss. She responded
with a groan and dug her fingers into my arms. I looked to see that she’d had a
manicure done and added fake nails.

I pulled her hand to my lips, “What are these?”

Shrugging her shoulders, “I wanted to look nice for the
pictures since I chewed all my nails off last night waiting to hear from you.”
She looked uneasy and I knew my blunder. “I ran into town early this morning
and had them done.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t call you. It was so late by the time I
checked my phone, I didn’t want to wake you.” She tried to talk and I put my
finger on her lips. “I figured you’d be swamped with wedding stuff this
morning. I’m sorry. I should’ve at least texted you. Forgive me.”

“Of course I forgive you. I just hated being away from you
with everything that was happening.” She stroked my cheek and I turned into her
touch. “How’s your mom?”

“They let her go home this morning. She’s fine, for now.”
Releasing a deep sigh, she threw her arms around my shoulders. I lifted her to
me and inhaled her intoxicating citrus scent.

“I’d like to spend some time with her,” she pulled back to
glance at me as if asking for permission. “If that’s okay with you.”

“Of course it’s okay.” Pulling her arms down, I held her
hands in mine. “I’m glad you said it. Listen, I was thinking about tomorrow.”
She looked at me intently. “I know the fetish party is tomorrow night, but I’d
like us to spend the day with Mom putting up the tree. It’s our family
tradition.”

“Absolutely, I’d love to partake in your family tradition.”

“If we finish in time we can decide about going to the party
then. I hope you don’t mind.”

“I don’t mind at all. I just want to be with you, and
whether that’s at a fetish party or decorating the tree, I’m happy.”

“Thank you. Cassidy, there’s been something I’ve been
meaning to tell you…”

“Miss Charles, when do you want the appetizers to be served?”

For fuck sakes, could she not see that we were in the
middle of a conversation?
I glared at the girl in the catering outfit as
she scurried away from us.

“I’ll be right there.” She looked back to me, “You were
saying?”

“Nothing. It can wait. You did a great job. This looks
amazing.”

“Thank you. Save me a dance.” She pecked my cheek before
gliding away.

“You can have them all,” I called after her. She flashed her
beautiful grin back at me.

Later on, I followed her in to the house so she could use
the bathroom. She headed up the stairs and into a bedroom with an attached
bathroom. She closed the door and I took in my surroundings. We were in a
generic room, no evidence that it was Cassidy’s childhood room or someone
else’s. It was then I spotted her bags near the closet as she told me this was
the room we would stay in that night. I peeked into the hall and didn’t see
anyone so I closed the bedroom door and locked it.

When she exited the bathroom I threw her over my shoulder
before dropping her to the bed.

“Oh.” She was giggling, “James, they’ll wonder where we
are.”

“I’ll be quick.” I dropped my jacket and opened my pants as
she propped up on her elbows, watching me undress. I dropped to my knees,
yanked her to the edge of the bed pushing her dress to her hips, and buried my
face in her panties. “I love your smell, taste, how slick you get for me. Are
you slick for me?”

She blushed and I laughed as she dropped to her back. I
pulled her panties down and unleashed everything I had on her, showing no
mercy. Her clit was already hard and she wrapped her fingers into my hair,
digging those new nails into my scalp as she swiveled her hips into me. She
started twitching and I knew she was close.

“James, oh, I’m close.”

Pulling away, I pushed her further up the bed as I drove my
cock into her. We were both moaning when there was a knock at the door. She
stiffened and I murmured to her that the door was locked. “Shhh,” I whispered
as I began massaging her clit with my thumb.

She smiled and threw her head back. I pulled out and begin
rubbing her clit with the head of my throbbing cock, knowing she couldn’t
resist it. Soon she was silently coming and I slammed back into her, resuming
my pounding. My release quickly followed and she pulled my mouth down to hers
to subdue my groans.

There was another knock at the door. “Just a minute.”
Cassidy giggled as I pulled myself off of her.

I went to the bathroom and washed my face before wetting a
rag. Kneeling down, I wiped away any evidence of our fucking from her and when
I was done I threw the rag in a hamper and pulled my pants back on. We exited
her room hand in hand snickering to ourselves and avoiding the eyes of the old
ladies in the hall.

“Do you know who they were?”

“Friends of Dad’s from work? No clue!” She pulled me down
the stairs and outside to rejoin the reception.

After dinner, the music initiated and so began the routine
dances. Before I knew it, I was being pulled to the floor with Cassidy as part
of the wedding party. I was thankful to have her in my arms again, her temple
rested on my jaw as her body relaxed into mine.

“Did you just sniff me?” I whispered in her ear.

“You smell good. I can’t help it. I never want to forget
your smell.” She chirped in my ear, “Stop smelling so fucking edible if you
don’t like me sniffing you.”

I let out a laugh and squeezed her tighter. “Be careful.
That potty mouth of yours does things to me. Things not appropriate for prying
eyes.”

The rest of the night continued with drinking, food, and
lots of dancing. I even allowed myself to relax and enjoy a few beers. It was
late and almost everyone had left due to the impending snow storm. The only
people left were Cal, Jane, Cassidy and I. Even Dave and Lisa had left to go to
a bed and breakfast down the road.

Slipping the DJ some money to stay late, I gave him my song
requests. Cassidy was sitting at a table by the dance floor and I watched her
remove her shoes.

“May I?” I stuck my hand out to her and she looked up to me
with a grin on her face.

“I should tell you no. My feet are killing me.” She placed
her hand in mine. “You’re lucky you’re cute.”

Yanking her to her feet I said, “You can stand on my feet if
you want.”

“The DJ will be leaving soon.”

“No worries. It’s taken care of.” I noticed Cal and Jane
sitting at a nearby table nose to nose, besides them and the DJ, we were all
alone.

The music started playing as I lead her to the melody.
Love Somebody
by
Maroon 5
filled the now empty barn. As the tempo picked up, I swung her out
from me as she giggled with delight. Cal and Jane joined us and the four of us
had our fun. The words of the song spoke true. Since meeting her, I knew I
would never be the same and would never recover.

As the song neared its end we were nose to nose, laughing
and kissing. I dramatically dipped her low as the song ended and kissed her
with the passion of a wild man. I was aware of the whistling and cheering
coming from Cal and Jane.

Pulling us to an upright position as Cassidy caught her
breath I saw her glaring at her brother and Jane. “Grow up, you two!”

“Yeah, yeah. We’ll see you lovebirds in the morning. We’re
crashing.” Cal and Jane walked out of the barn as the next song began.

It was just the two of us now as the DJ took a smoke break
outside. “I picked this song especially for you, Cassidy.” Her face stilled
before she tucked her head under my chin and listened to the song. “Thought
there was nothing slow about me falling for you, Blackbird. I fell for you the
first minute my eyes locked with yours. I know that now.”

Falling Slowly
by
Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova
filled the space around us and between us.
She gingerly put her bare feet on top of my shoe clad ones, her arms wrapping
around my waist as my arms encased her. Rubbing her neck with one hand and the
curve of her ass with the other, I thought about how she had grounded me and
brought me back to myself. I only hoped she was strong enough to handle all of
it, all of me, the things she knew, those that she didn’t that I couldn’t bear
to open up about and everything in between. And I prayed I would be smart
enough to keep her no matter the cost.

“I love you, Cassidy.” I felt her still before she pulled
back and I looked into her eyes. “I love you. I’m sorry it took me so long to
say it.” She was still not moving. “Breathe.”

She took in a breath. “Say it again.” She was grinning like
a school girl.

“Cassidy, I love you, always, only and forever you.”

She jumped up in my arms squeezing my neck tight and
whispering, “I love you too, more than you know.”

“I know, Cassidy. I know.”

When the song ended she headed over to the DJ who had just
returned from outside. They exchanged some words before she walked back to me.

“It’s my turn to request a song.” She kissed me deeply as a
song I hadn’t heard played overhead.

“What song is this?”

“
I’m Done
by
The Pussycat Dolls
. Don’t judge.” She smirked at me before burrowing into
my chest.

We were barely moving, just holding on to one another, and
she leaned her head back before standing on her tip toes to kiss me. It was a
kiss of possession, ownership, passion and love. I loved this woman and she
loved me. I didn’t think it was possible until I had met her.

“Thank you.”

“For what?” I looked to her, knowing that I was the one who
should be thanking her.

“For loving me, all of me. I know I don’t make it easy; I
may be a little crazy and I have a horrible temper. I tried pushing you away
and you didn’t let go. Thank you.”

I smiled, “You have a lot to learn about me, Cassidy. You
can push me away all you want and I’m sure I’ll push back at times. This is all
new to me, but I can assure you that when it comes to you, I’m never letting
go.”

Summer 2013

I was frantically packing my bags. I had to hurry before he
called the house to check on me. The Greyhound bus was scheduled to leave in
forty-five minutes. He wouldn’t expect me to take a bus and leave my BMW
behind. My plan was brilliant; at least I thought it was.
