Lassoing the Virgin Mail-Order Bride Page 7

  “Cash is over at the Johnson farm right now. Shouldn’t you be there?”

  “He always fill you in on his affairs?” The way he says the word affairs has my heart picking up a few beats. The tone doesn’t help any either. He studies me, and I look to the driveway the leads over the hill. Cash should be back any minute. He said he wouldn't be gone long and then we’d be on our way.

  His boots click on the wooden porch as he takes a step closer to me.

  “I can see why June was so fit to be tied. You are a pretty little thing. I’m not sure what Cash is gonna do with you. I don’t think you could handle one ride.”

  I flinch at his words because I don’t think he means a ride on a horse. And the implication runs a little too close to home.

  He reaches out, grabbing one of my curls. “The Johnsons aren’t home, you know. Went to a cattle show. Only one there is June. How long has he been gone over there with her?”

  My body freezes at his words. He’s been gone for over an hour now. I turn to bat his hand away from my hair and tell him to leave, but before I can, he’s gone. A loud crash fills the porch as Billy is pulled away from me and he hits the house. Cash’s hand is around his throat, and Billy is starting to turn red.

  Cash has him a good foot off the ground. I hadn’t noticed how short the other man was, but now that Cash is next to him, it really shows.

  “You think you can come on my land and fucking touch my wife?” Cash’s face is so close to Billy’s I have to step to the side a little to see him. His face is turning purple now, and I don’t think Cash is really looking for an answer to his question. It’s clear the man won’t be able to talk with how tight Cash’s squeezing his throat.

  “You don’t look at her, you don’t talk to her. In fact, you don’t even know she fucking exists.” Cash is so mad I can feel the anger pulsing off him in waves. He continues to choke Billy, and all I can do is stand there, shocked by how fast everything’s happened. I don’t even know where Cash came from. It was like he knew a man touched me, and poof, he just materialized. That actually would not shock me at this point.

  “Fuck!” I hear someone yell, pulling my eyes from the scene in front of me. I see Earl and three other hands with him start to run towards the porch. They head for Cash and try to peel him off the other man. It takes all four of them to finally get Cash off Billy. When Cash lets go, Billy slides down, his ass hitting the porch. His hand goes to his throat as he coughs over and over again. I look back to Cash, who’s still being held back by the men as they try to calm him down, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

  He keeps pulling to get free, wanting back at Billy.

  “He fucking touched her.” He lunges again, this time breaking free of two of the hands, and I jump in front of him. He halts, almost running right into me, and I throw myself into his arms, wrapping myself around him. No way he’ll keep going at Billy if I’m locked around him. If we don’t stop him, I’m starting to think he might kill the man.

  His hands go to my ass, catching me easily. I pull back and cup his face. “You marrying me today or you going to jail?” I ask him as I lean in, my lips just a breath from his, and I can see his face visibly relax.

  “Marrying you.”

  “Think we should practice that kissing part again?” I tease him, brushing my lips across his.

  He takes my mouth. The kiss is hard and demanding, almost knocking the air right out of my lungs. I can feel everything he felt moments ago. All the adrenaline still pumping through his body, only now he’s using it on me. He pulls back sooner then I want, breaking the kiss.

  “Get him off my land,” Cash says, not taking his eyes from mine as he starts to carry me towards the house.

  “I’m calling the Sheriff. He’ll hear about this.”

  “When you call him, can you tell him he still owes me a hundred dollars from our last poker night?” I hear Earl say as Cash kicks the door closed behind us and places me on my feet.

  His eyes run over me, and I can see the rest of the tension leave his body.

  “Goddamn, you look perfect.” His voice is gruff, but he takes a step back from me.

  I take a step towards him, and he holds one hand up.

  “Barely hanging on, sweetheart. I gotta get you to the courthouse, and if you touch me right now with how I’m feeling, I’ll snap and take you right on this floor.”

  “There’s more than what just happened out there, isn't there?” I ask, pointing to the door we just came through.

  “Yeah. I was already fucking pissed before I saw Billy reach out and touch you. I went right over the edge after that.”

  “What happened?”

  “Nothing. Not a goddamn thing.”

  I just stare at him. Cash runs a hand over his face, then pulls it through his dark hair.

  “I went to the Johnsons’ and they weren't there.”

  “But June was.”

  “But June was,” he confirms, making me uneasy. I don’t like that one bit.

  “I sat and waited and waited some more while June ran her mouth. Baby, you know how I feel about that voice of hers.” He says it like he was tortured, making me roll my eyes.

  “She offered me something to drink. I said no and that if her mom and dad weren’t back in the next five minutes, I was gone. That’s when she fucking lost it. Tried to throw herself at me. I dodged her, and she hit the floor. Hard. Then she started crying.” He studies me for a second, and I can tell there’s more and he doesn’t want to say it.

  “What, Cash? Just say it.”

  “I just stepped over her and left.”

  “Okay.”

  “Okay?” He mimics my response. “You’re not mad? I thought you’d be pissed I just left her there crying. Last time she started with those tears, you told me to be nice. I thought—”

  “That’s what got you so mad?”

  “Big fucking part.” He lets out a deep breath. “All I kept thinking was that if you had to listen to some man talk for thirty minutes about how you should marry him, I’d lose it. Then I came around that corner and there’s a man standing on my goddamn porch fucking touching you.” He yells the last part.

  I just shake my head and walk over to him, placing my hands on his chest, smiling up at him.

  “How can you be smiling? I still want to go back out there and beat the shit out of someone.”

  “I’m smiling because you’re so jealous. You’re even jealous for me over you.” I start to laugh because saying it out loud makes it ever funnier.

  He just shakes his head.

  “We should go get married. I think that might help.” I’m not sure who he’s trying to convince, me or him.

  “Sure it will,” I tease.

  “Maybe if you were walking around here with a round little belly, that might help, too,” he adds.

  “Can we focus on one thing at a time here? The wedding first,” I remind him.

  “We get this wedding done and I’m going to be focusing on that real hard.”

  “Promises, promises,” I tease.

  He leans down and places a soft kiss on my lips.

  “This is going to be the fastest wedding this town has ever seen.”

  Chapter 10

  Cash

  I hear the hinges shake on the door as I kick it closed behind us.

  “Flip the lock, Mrs. McCallister. We’re going to be needing some privacy.”

  Clare giggles in my arms but turns the lock as I asked. I nearly run down the long hallway to our bedroom, so desperate am I to get her in there. I feel like once we are in our room, she’ll be mine and she can’t get away.

  Our wedding had to have made history. The fastest I dos in the state of Texas, guaranteed. When the officiant got to the part about asking if anyone objected, I jerked the ring out of his hand and put it on Clare before he could even finish the sentence. I pulled her to me, kissed her on the mouth and said, “We’re done here.”

  Clare was laughing the whole time I carr
ied her out of the courthouse, but I was dead serious. I wasn’t giving anyone time to object to anything, and I sure as hell wasn’t waiting any longer to make her mine. The drive back to the ranch was long enough, so as soon as we got back, I carried her from the truck, across the threshold, and into the house.

  “Cash, you’re going to hurt yourself running around with me in your arms like this. Calm down. I’m not going anywhere.”

  “Baby, I could carry you for the rest of my life and not even break a sweat. You’re so little. You’re going to have to start eating more. You need to put some weight on,” I tell her, making her giggle.

  Once inside the bedroom, I kick the door closed behind us and stand Clare up next to the bed. She looked so beautiful today, and I can’t keep my hands to myself any longer. Holding her to me, I look into her eyes and see her bite her lip.

  “I’m nervous,” she whispers, and I see the blush hit her cheeks.

  “I just want to lie naked with you, baby. I’m not sure how much we’ll be able to do. You’re so tiny, and I’m…” I trail off, not sure what to say.

  “Gigantic,” she finishes for me, her eyes going wide as she looks at my body.

  “We’ll go slow. And when we can’t do anymore, we’ll stop.” Holding her chin, I make her look back into my eyes so she knows I’m serious. “You know I won’t do anything to hurt you. Slow, baby. Real slow.”

  She smiles up at me, and it makes my heart nearly burst with love. That’s what this all is. I’ve been falling for her since the second I saw her in our kitchen. All that wild blonde hair and mouthiness she’d thrown at me like I wasn't three times her size. She wasn't intimidated by me in the least. Where many went running, she’d just rolled her eyes or smacked my chest, calling me a brute. I’m a goner, and I’ve never been happier in my life.

  Leaning down, I take her lips and wrap my arms around her waist. Her hands go up and around my neck, and I hold her to me as we just kiss. As always when we connect, the low heat builds to a boiling passion and soon the kiss alone is not enough. Reaching up, I unbutton the lace at the back of her neck and then undo the zipper at her back. The dress falls down softly to her hips, and I hold it there while she leans back from me and steps out of it. She takes off her shoes, leaving her in only white lace panties.

  “My God, Clare. You are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life.” I place my hand on my chest to keep my heart from trying to break through. Just looking at her has me weak in the knees and willing to sacrifice my own life for whatever it takes to make her happy. I hope I can be the husband she deserves because she deserves the best in life. And I’ll try until my last breath to be what she needs.

  She smiles at me, her blonde curls falling all around her like a halo. The sun is setting outside, and the golden-pink light is peeking in, and all I can do is stand there like an idiot looking at my beautiful bride. I watch her as she slips off her panties and climbs onto our bed, lying back and waiting for me. I should move and go to her, but I’m stuck, frozen by how utterly perfect she is.

  “Cash. Are you going to stand there all night, or are you going to make love to your wife?”

  She giggles, and it breaks my trance. Suddenly, I’m in rapid motion. I’m stripping off my boots and white button-up shirt. Then I’m tugging off my jeans and boxer briefs until I’m stripped bare and climbing onto the bed over her.

  When I’m on top of her, her small body completely engulfed under mine, I lean down and kiss her neck. “You never have to ask me twice, baby.”

  I hear the smile in her voice as she hums in approval. Her body is already responding to mine with the way she moves under me. I’ve been eating that sweet little pussy every chance I get, and she more than loves the attention. I trail kisses down her body and settle between her legs. Her thighs open for me easily, the shyness falling away.

  Licking her pussy might be my favorite thing in the world. Next to kissing her. Nothing compares to holding her in my arms and feeling her lips against mine. But these sweet lower lips are damn close. I start eating her just the way she likes it. I’ve already figured out she likes it slow and steady at first, then she likes me to pick up the speed and get greedy. Her hands fist the back of my head and I know she’s done being teased. She’s ready to take what she wants, and that’s usually the moment I end up cumming on myself and making a mess in the bed. I’d much rather have that cum go inside her, and maybe tonight we’ll try it.

  Thinking about putting my cum in her has me reaching between my legs and pinching the end of my cock. I don’t want to take a chance of busting a nut when she cums on my face, so I hold it tightly to keep any from leaking out. I want to try to save it for Clare.

  The smell of her sticky nectar and the taste of her sweetness has me edging closer and closer. But I hold back and concentrate as she reaches the edge of her pleasure. When her hands come to the back of my head, I suck her clit and give it a little nibble. Bringing my fingers up to her opening, I penetrate her, trying to stretch her little hole as much as I can. I’ve done this a couple of times now, but every time it feels as tight as the first, and I don’t feel any better about putting my cock inside her.

  I keep firm pressure on her clit as I rub the sweet spot inside of her, and I feel her start to orgasm. Her legs tense on either side of my face, and she tries to arch off the bed. I keep up the even rhythm, and she skyrockets over the edge and into paradise.

  “Cash!”

  Hearing my name on her lips nearly sends me over the edge, but I hold back knowing that I want more. I want to try everything I can to be with her fully, and I want to see if I can get my baby inside her. Tonight.

  Kissing my way up her body, I see the soft smile on her face. She reaches for me, and I go to her as she wraps her legs around my waist. I feel the length of my cock lay against her wet pussy, and I have to close my eyes tight to keep from cumming. It’s almost painful how good she feels, and I’m not even inside of her yet.

  “I’m ready, Cash.”

  Her words are soft, but they make me open my eyes and look at her. I can’t say anything to that because I’ve lost my ability to speak, so I just nod my head and move against her. I rub against her for a little bit, teasing us both with what we want. In truth, I’m still nervous, so I’m trying to go slow. I want to build her need up so it’s not painful. The thought of hurting her makes me ache, so I’m going to do everything I can to prevent it.

  I dip a bit lower until the tip of my cock is at her opening, and I settle in there. I can already feel her tightness trying to keep me out, so when I push forward just slightly, I feel her virgin barrier.

  Closing my eyes again, I shake my head. “I can’t do it.” It’s all I can get out, because as much as I want to push through, I can’t make myself do it.

  Feeling Clare push against me, I open my eyes in shock as she rolls me over and climbs on top. It’s not like she’s big enough to move me on her own, but I’m taken by surprise and just go with it.

  I’m on my back and she’s straddling my waist, and I see her look down at me with a determined expression.

  “Listen, Cash. I’m sure in the history of the whole wide world, two people of the same size as you and me have done this. I may be little and I may be a bit delicate, but I’m tougher than I look. If you won’t do this, then maybe I should. Because I love you. And I want you in every way possible. Every big part of you.”

  “I love you, too, baby.” I sit up a little, pulling her down to me, our lips connecting, fire blazing between us once again. I break away to look up at her, the wild blonde curls once again surrounding her like a halo and making her look so beautiful. “I wanted to say it so many times but was afraid to scare you off.” It’s too soon. At least that's what I thought she’d say. But I knew it wasn't. My dad told me he knew from the moment he saw my ma that she was it. I just couldn't bear to tell her I loved her and not have her say it back. It would have burned deep because all that loneliness I’d been feeling since losing my
family seemed bearable. The memories are now sweet, not painful. Because I have her. Someone I love.

  “I’m not going anywhere. I love you, and you’re my husband. Forever.” She places her hand on the side of my face and looks into my eyes. I see it there. She feels it, too.

  Our lips connect again, and this time I feel her move on top of me. Her hips slide down a little until my cock is at her opening again. She moves down. When I feel the pressure of her soft, wet hymen against me, I want to pull back, but she’s too fast for me and drops down on my cock.

  “Fuck.” Breaking the kiss, I throw my head back and nearly black out from the pleasure. The tight grip of her pussy squeezes me so tightly, and I may die from it.

  I feel my shaky hands go to her hips, and I look up to make sure she’s okay. She looks down at me and smiles, and suddenly all my fears melt away.

  “You’re big all over, Cash. But I think we’re gonna be just fine.”

  I feel her move a little, and it’s all I can do not to cum inside her after one stroke. The wet slide of her pussy as she moves up and down my cock is slowly killing me in the best way possible.

  “Baby, I’ve died and gone to heaven.”

  Leaning up, I take her nipple into my mouth, wanting her to feel as good as I do right now. She moans at the pleasure and starts to move on my cock more, and I help her hips rock on me. After just a few minutes, she’s taking all of me and is fully riding up and down. I grit my teeth as I look between us and see our bodies connected.

  “I can’t wait any longer. I’ve been trying to hold off, but I can’t anymore. You’re so fucking tight. I can’t take it. This can’t be real.”

  Reaching between us, I rub her little clit and feel her squeeze me as she drops down on my cock. The sticky sweetness between us is so fucking hot, and I rub her harder, needing her to cum with me.

  “That’s it, Cash. Right there.”

  Clare sits up on me and leans her head back, closing her eyes, her blonde curls everywhere. She’s lost in pleasure as I thrust up into her and finally feel her go over the edge. I’m cumming just as she starts, so I hold her hips down on me and keep her still while I fill her up. As I pump one thick load after another into her, she gets too full and it starts to run out between us.
