Love's Slow Burn [Southern Heat 2] (11 page)

“OK, how about this? Jake Martin is a fine man. You know he grew up here. Your sister attended school with him. And though I don’t know Dean Stark as well, he also seems to be a responsible citizen of this town.”

Casey’s cheeks became flushed. “Yeah, I guess I would agree with that.”

“Give me a break, girl. You’ve taken up with the both of them. I must admit, initially, I doubted my suspicions until I ran into Shelley Carlyle. She briefly mentioned seeing you with Jake and Dean at her bar and grill. She seemed to think it was a harmless night out for the three of you, but I knew better. My niece has taken up with two men? Are my suspicions correct?” Jenna asked with an intense look of worry.

Never knowing how she would ever gather the nerve to even approach such a subject with Jenna, the cat was now out of the bag. Casey knew it was time to come clean.

“Well, are you going to answer me, girl?”

After taking a seat next to her aunt, Casey took in a deep breath and said, “I didn’t mean for this to happen. You’ve got to believe me. I had intended on seeing Jake—only Jake. By the time I found out he shared a house with Dean…I love them both, Aunt Jen. Most women fall for one man, but I fell for two.”

“How could you let this happen, Casey? You’re a smart woman. What exactly do you plan on doing with two men? Don’t answer that. I don’t think I want to know,” Jenna said, shaking her head.

“Auntie…”

“Listen up. I’m only going to say this once. You need to be careful how you handle this situation. Don’t be naïve, Casey. This isn’t Las Vegas, you know. What happens here doesn’t always stay here. What if your parents find out?” Jenna asked, her brown eyes widening. “Oh, I can just hear that conversation right now. Who do you think they’ll blame for this? Your mother will have my head!”

Casey eyes became dreamy. “They are absolutely irresistible, and they will do anything to make me happy. I love them both, auntie. I couldn’t choose between them if I had to. I’ve decided to keep them both, but I promise I won’t make you a party to anything that could ruin your reputation here in town.”

“Who said anything about my reputation? Screw that, Casey. I’m just worried about you. I want you to be happy.”

Kissing Jenna’s cheek, Casey said, “I’m about as happy as I could ever be. Jake and Dean do that for me.”

“Good, then this conversation is over. Are you ready? I hear the fireworks display this year will be second to none,” Jenna said with a smile.

After Casey and Jenna arrived at Sutter’s Ridge, they located a picnic table affording them an excellent view of the night sky and cracked open their cooler full of beer and wine coolers. Shortly afterward, Jake Martin and Dean Stark approached their table. They were wearing blue jeans and red T-shirts identifying them as members of Fire Station 65.

“Good evening, ladies, we were wondering when you two would arrive,” Jake said.

“Ladies, how are you tonight?” Dean asked.

“We’re doing just fine,” Jenna replied. “Now that we’ve gotten the formalities out of the way, cut the bullshit. You two need to sit down.”

They both stared into Casey’s eyes and knew that Jenna was on to them. Taking seats at the table across from the two women, they prepared themselves for what was about to go down.

“Let me start by saying that I so greatly appreciate the work you two do for this county. I know firsthand just how important your jobs are. Hell, you saved my home from burning to the ground.”

“Ms. Jenna—”

“Jake, please let me finish. I want you both to know just how much I love Casey. I will do anything within my power to protect her from any and all harm. That being said, her happiness is paramount in all this.”

Dean was the next to speak. “Ms. Jenna, believe me when I say there is nothing Jake and I wouldn’t do for your niece. She’s the most important person in the world to us.”

Jenna continued on. “The relationship the three of you have decided to enter into is not an easy one. It will never be a cakewalk. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“With all due respect, we know that, Ms. Jenna. But we hope you can understand that Dean and I love your niece. I mean, we really love her with all our hearts. I can’t take her away from Dean, no more than he can take her from me. We need her, and she needs us. We’ll do right by her…always.”

“You better, both of you,” Jenna said. “Because if I have to hear even once that this union the three of you have willingly entered into is nothing more than a passing fancy, there’ll be hell to pay. Do you all hear me? Do you understand?”

“Yes ma’am, we hear you,” Dean said.

Jake nodded in agreement, “We understand, Ms. Jenna.”

Jenna turned to face her niece. Her expression was a stern one. “Did you hear and understand me, Casey?”

“Yes, auntie, I understand. And I want you to know that I feel so much better with you in my corner. I love you,” Casey replied, kissing Jenna’s cheek.

“Good. Now that we all understand one another, if you all will excuse me, I’m going to press the flesh. I’ll speak with you later,” Jenna said.

Jake and Dean stood up as Jenna left the table and walked off to speak with the mayor and a few county executives.

“Whew, that was some kind of intense,” Dean said.

“Yeah, I thought our heads were on the chopping block,” Jake added.

“She’s been wise to us since she returned from Vegas. I can’t believe she waited until now to bring this all up,” Casey told them.

“Speaking of pressing the flesh, how have you held up since the last time we made love?” Jake asked.

“You really want to talk about that now?” Casey questioned.

“Why not? Your aunt just gave our relationship her blessing,” Dean said with a bright smile.

Shaking her head, Casey said, “I can’t believe you two. You’re incorrigible.”

“Uh-huh, but you can’t get enough, can you?” Jake asked.

“Truth be told, I can’t. I want you both so badly.”

“We’ve got an hour to kill. Let Jenna know you’ll be gone for a bit. We have something to show you,” Dean said.

After Casey alerted her aunt, she accompanied Jake and Dean to a secluded area of the park. Climbing into the back of the fire emergency vehicle, the two men wasted no time in unzipping the front of her dress and peeling her out of her white lace lingerie.

“I’ve been waiting for this since we got back in town,” Jake said, unzipping his jeans and pulling his cock out of his underwear. “Suck my dick, Casey. Wrap your soft, pretty lips around my shaft, and suck on it hard.”

Casey licked the length of Jake’s cock and then went down on it as far as she could while he massaged her big tits, paying close attention to her nipples. Dean was busy pulling her legs open as wide as he could, exposing her smooth, bare ass and pussy.

Watching Casey suck Jake’s dick made Dean’s manhood stand at attention. He started stroking it intensely, staring at the plump outer lips of her hairless cunt. Dean was eager to fuck her, so he reached between her legs and played with her pussy, stimulating her clit until it was fully aroused.

“I need you to stick your prick in my pussy and pump it real hard. I had to finger myself for two weeks. All I could think about was the feel of your cock and Jake’s cock in my cunt, sliding in and out of my mouth, and pumping my tight ass. Welcome home, boys.”

The words she spoke made Jake grab the back of her head and thrust his manhood into her mouth at a furious pace. Dean pushed the head of his thick penis in between her pussy lips and into her wet vagina, pumping her from behind furiously.

Their dicks filled her body again and turned up the heat smoldering inside of Casey to the point where she started shouting orders to them.

“Fuck my juicy cunt, Dean. Oh, fuck me hard! Your cock is so big. It always feels so good when you ram it in my pussy. Ooh, yes, like that.”

“You’re so sexy, Casey. It makes me want to explode in your sweet, hungry mouth. Suck me off, baby. I want to watch you lick my cum off of your lips and swallow every drop,” Jake said.

Felling every inch of Dean’s meaty cock inside of her made Casey even hornier, and she issued him a challenge. “My pussy is super tight, Dean, but I know you can open me up with that huge dick of yours. I want it deeper inside of me, so I can make all that sweet, creamy cum shoot right into my cunt. If any of it drips out, you’ll have to lick me until it’s all gone.”

“Oh, fuck, I’m coming,” Jake said, forcing Casey’s mouth to his lap.

He shot a sizeable load of semen into her mouth that she eagerly swallowed. When he withdrew from her mouth, cum spurted on her lips. As he panted wildly, he watched her lick it off and swallow it, too.

“Damn, your pussy is so tight. You’re gonna make me come in it. I’m gonna shoot a hot load in your wet cunt!” Dean shouted, spewing creamy, thick cum into Casey as she squeezed her insides around his hard, smooth shaft.

The threesome lingered there for awhile, basking themselves utterly and completely in the exquisite, impromptu lovemaking they had just engaged in. Both Jake and Dean kissed Casey over and over again, taking the chance to show her how glad they were to be back in her arms. Afterward, they got dressed, slipped out of the vehicle, and made their way back to the celebration. Before returning to duty, Jake and Dean spent a final few moments with Casey, strolling around the park grounds and enjoying the festivities together. When their break was over, Casey went in search of her aunt.

Walking across the park, she found her way into a tent where she proceeded to buy two packs of sparklers. She could hear fireworks going off in the distance.

“Oh, Casey, there you are. I was wondering if you had returned,” Jenna said, entering the tent, walking toward her.

Suddenly Casey saw a flash of light, then another and another. Smoke began filling the tent as the roof of the makeshift structure started to burn. Everyone inside ran for the exit just as the roof started to collapse. Casey grabbed Jenna’s hand and dropped to the ground. They both tried to crawl their way to safety. The last thing Casey saw before passing out was the flame from the tent’s roof falling on top of her and her aunt.

Casey awoke in Jake’s arms. Straining to focus, she saw Dean staring at her. He looked extremely worried. She realized her vision was slightly obstructed due to the gauze bandage attached to her forehead. Her right arm stung from the superficial burn she suffered during the tent collapse.

“What happened?” she asked.

“Some of the fireworks misfired. A few of them struck the tent’s roof and set it on fire,” Jake explained.

“State-of-the-art my ass,” Dean said. “Someone could have been killed.”

“Where’s Aunt Jen?” Casey asked.

“They took her to Mt. Sinai,” Jake said.

“Oh, God! Is she all right?”

“They said she’ll be fine, but they want to keep her overnight for observation,” he replied.

“Casey, baby, are you all right?” Dean asked, handing her a bottle of water.

After taking a sip, she said, “Yes, I think so.”

“We’ll take you to see Jenna, but then we’re heading back to the house. You need to rest,” Jake told her.

“I’ll let the captain know. Everything’s under control here. Let’s get ready to roll out,” Dean said.

Back at Jake and Dean’s, Casey drifted off to sleep for an hour and a half. When she woke up, she took a warm bubble bath, washing away the near tragic events of the holiday celebration. Wrapped in one of Jake’s bathrobes, making her way downstairs, she overheard both men in the middle of a serious conversation.

“We could have lost her tonight, Dean. I haven’t been so scared in all my life.”

“I know what you mean, man. I felt so weak in my knees. A few times back there, I thought I was going to hit the ground and never get up.”

Shaking his head, Jake said, “I don’t ever want to feel like that again. I love Casey to death, but the thought of losing her—”

“What the hell are you two talking about?” Casey asked, interrupting their conversation.

“Casey? We didn’t know you had come downstairs,” Dean said.

With tears in her eyes, she asked, “Are you two planning on dumping me? One incident is all it takes to give up on all this? I so hate you both right now.”

Getting to his feet, Jake approached her. “Don’t get yourself so upset, Casey. You heard something that you shouldn’t have.”

“Shut up, you cold bastard. I give my heart to you, and this is how you treat me? Aunt Jenna was wrong. She trusted me to make the right decision when it came to the two of you. I can’t believe that I could’ve been so stupid. This has been the worst decision of my life.”

Dean walked over to embrace her, but Casey pushed him away. “You’re no better than he is. Don’t you know if you ever fall, I will always be there to pick you up?” she asked, another tear falling to her cheek.

“You know what, Jake, we’re a couple of dicks,” Dean said, staring into Casey’s eyes.

“What?” Jake asked.

“She is the best thing to ever happen to us, and because of what happened tonight, we’re ready to let her go? I can’t do it.”
