Family Ties (Hidden Secrets) (8 page)

We
drove out to an abandoned field away from everything.  I wasn’t sure how she knew about this place and there was no way I was going to ask and set myself up for that answer. Once I helped her out of the truck, we walked around. There wasn’t anything around us but miles of empty fields of grass.  Suddenly Mary takes off running and laughing. Just as I was about to run after her she stops.

“
Turn around and cover your eyes.  We are going to play land ‘Marco, Polo’ Okay? Count to twenty and keep your eyes closed. No peeking.”

Turning
around, I closed my eyes and counted to twenty. The game was on.  Shockingly, I found myself enjoying this silly game. I yelled out ‘Marco’, but received no response right away like she had been doing.  Just as I was about to yell again, I tripped on something.  My eyes shot open and I held my arms out to catch myself as I fell.  When I landed I was face to face with Mary.

“
No wonder you didn’t reply.  You know you could have gotten hurt there?  Did I hurt you?”

She
shook her head. Unable to resist, I leaned down and kissed her. It was light and short, but I was afraid if I did any more than that then I’d get lost. I jumped to my feet. Helping her up, we headed back over to the truck.  Lowering the tailgate I grabbed the blanket and spread it out then lifted Mary.  We sat there just staring off.  A few minutes had passed when she scooted over and rested her head on my shoulder.  I wrapped my arms around her and held her as we continued to watch the sun set.

If
I were to be honest, I’m really not sure who moved first; Mary or me.  Whoever it was, it didn’t matter. What mattered was that at that moment, I was tasting her luscious mouth again.  It was an addiction.  Whenever we were together and even when we aren’t, I dream of her mouth.  My focus solely on her lips and the need to taste even more of her.  It didn’t matter if we had just kissed.  It was as if my lips were only whole when they were connected to hers.

She
started to push me back and I let her. Soon I felt her hand running up my chest. Pulling her tighter against me, I ran my hand firmly down her back and then massaged her ass in my hands. God, I wanted her badly. It was a struggle to not rip her clothes off right this minute and take her hard and fast with no care as to what it might cost me.

Mary
leaned back and pulled my shirt up and over my head. All I could do was just stare up at her.  She lowered her head down and began to trail kisses over my chest.  When her teeth grazed my nipples I couldn’t stop the moan from escaping.  Every bit of me was on fire. Never in all my life have I felt this way before.  What was it about her that drove me so fucking crazy?

I
didn’t have time to focus on that thought, though. She was still running kisses down my stomach.  But as she was doing that she was also unbuttoning and pulling the zipper down on my jeans.  My breath hissed through my teeth when her hand reached into my boxers and pulled out my erection.  All thoughts of any kind vanished when I felt her tongue circle around the head and down the shaft.

“
Fuck,” I breathed as she took me in her mouth.

The
warmth of her mouth wrapped around my cock was more than enough to get me off, but as her tongue put pressure as well as her cheeks… I was going crazy with need for her.  Tangling my hands in her hair, I slowly began small thrusts of my hips into her mouth.

“
Mmmm…” she hummed on my cock causing me to shudder.

“
Damn Mary.  I’m not going to last long if you keep that up.  Get up here,” I breathe, trying to pull her up to me.

Mary
pulls her mouth off my cock, but wraps her hand around me and makes slow, long strokes as she looks up at me with a smile. “Not tonight, Tobey.  Tonight is just you.”

Then
her mouth was wrapped back around my cock moving quickly.  Her hand continued to stroke, but faster this time and her other hand moved to my balls, rolling them lightly in her hand.

I
could feel myself swelling getting ready to explode at any moment.  Again, I tried to pull her up, but she only worked harder and faster until I couldn’t take it anymore and exploded into her mouth. I unconsciously shoved her head further down on my cock and pumped my hips faster into her mouth.

“
Fuck!” I roared as I hit my peak and flopped back onto the blanket out of breath and spent.  She continued to move up and down helping me ride out the last of my climax before sitting up.  Mary corrected my clothing, crawled up next to me and curled into my side draping her arm across my stomach.  Sighing contently, I wrapped my arms around her before falling asleep.  The last thought in my head was this was the first person I have ever slept with.

Shifting
in my seat, I sat in a booth waiting for Mary to arrive.  We were meeting at the restaurant that started it all for us.  This was proving harder to keep from getting distracted.  Distraction was not a good thing at this moment.  I needed to keep my focus. 

My
phone starts ringing scaring me slightly.  Pulling it out of my pocket, I recognize the number and immediately answer it.

“
Hey bro.”

“
Hey.  How are things going on your end?  Did you pull it off?”

“
Not yet.  This is proving more difficult than I thought it would be, but I think I have it figured out and should be able to pull it off here soon.”

“
Shit man!  You should have had it done by now!  What the hell is going on with you?  Maybe you weren’t the man for the job after all…”

“
Look!  I’m just fine for the job, okay? There have been complications, but I think I have them in the past and am ready to move forward.  Just relax would you?”

“
Relax?  Relax?  How the hell am I supposed to fucking relax after what they’ve done to me.  You know you are so fucking stupid sometimes!”

“
Be careful who you insult right now, bro.  You aren’t exactly in the position to piss me off and you are coming very close to doing just that,” I hissed down the phone.

“
Whatever man.  If you don’t pull this off soon, then I will just have to handle it myself.”

He
hung up the phone.  Shaking my head, I knew I’ve been slacking off.  I needed to focus on the task.  Just as I was about to put my phone away it rang again.  I half expected it to be my brother again, but my stomach suddenly knotted when I saw the number flashing on the screen.  Something told me that it was not going to be a good call.

“
Hey, where are you?”

“
Help me!” She screamed.

I
was out of my seat and moving toward the door before I even thought about where I was going.  There was wind whipping through the phone and she was breathing heavy, that told me she was running…or at least that is what I assumed.

“
I’m about two blocks away. Tobey…help please.”

“
I’m trying Mare. I’m trying, but you have to tell me which way.”

“
Toward the center where the meet and greet was,” she said breathlessly.

I
took off running. There were no other thoughts than to get to her before she was hurt. If anything happened to her before I could get there… Shaking my thoughts as I rounded the corner of the building, I could just make out her running toward me. As fast as I could I hurried to her. Dodging person after person, I ran faster trying to get to her before whatever she needed help from did.

“
Tobey,” she yelled the minute she saw me and ran right into my arms.

I
wrapped her in my arms and looked in the direction she came from.  Sure enough the same guy from the first day we met was not far off.  Glaring at him, I held Mary tighter to me.  Daring the guy with my eyes to come after her now, I had some steam I needed to burn off.  Instead, he turned and walked away.

Damn!

Turning my attention back to Mary, I pulled back and cupped her head in my hands.  It was then that I noticed her left side of her face was red and slightly swollen. My anger spiked and my head shot back in the direction the man was, but he was gone.

“
He hit you,” I hissed.

She
nodded her head and I pulled her back into my arms. Looking around, I saw people were looking and whispering.  No doubt because Mary was so well known and the town knowing her, I knew I needed to get her away from here.

“
Hey,” I whispered. “Let’s get you out of here. My truck isn’t far away.  Can you walk?”

She
curled into my side and nodded her head. Wrapping my arm around her waist, we walked back to my truck.  Once we were inside away from everyone, I turned to her and pulled her into my arms.  My heart was racing and my stomach was it knots.

“
Are you okay?” I whispered into her hair.

“
I am now.  You saved me again,” she said, smiling at me.

I
had just started to lean in to kiss her when her phone rang.  When I groaned, she smiled and laughed softly, pulling out her phone.

“
Hey Kay,” she answered, still smiling at me. “Yeah…I’m fine…Okay, be there soon. Love ya.”

“
Where am I taking you?”

“
To my sister’s please.  Apparently there is a dinner planned.”

After
she gave me directions, the ride there was silent. As much as I was enjoying myself, I needed to get back to the ranch.  I also needed to get some distance between Mary and I so I can get back on target.  We pulled through a large gate and up a winding road when Mary said something that for some reason pissed me off.

“
I bet you can’t wait to get home to your ranch and far away from my crazy.”

Pulling
over, I put my truck in park.  Reaching over, I unbuckled her seatbelt and pulled her onto my lap.  Before I could even say anything, her mouth was on mine.  We have kissed many times since meeting a week ago, but this one was hotter, more intense.  I was consumed by her.  She straddled my lap grinding softly against me. Pulling her closer to me on a moan, I pushed my hands up the back of her shirt.

“
God, I need you,” I breathed before taking her mouth with mine again.

She
wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled herself closer to me.  Her moaning and grinding was driving me crazy.  I was just about to do something about it when again we are interrupted with a knock on the damn window.

I
laughed as we both groaned and pulled away from each other.  The door opened and Nick was standing there.

“
Jesus Nick, do you not have anything better to do?” Mary hissed and I laughed.

“
I was about to ask if you guys did anything else,” Nick said with a chuckle.

“
Sure we do. Would you like details on what else we do?” Mary said overly sweet and I burst into laughter, quickly followed by Mary and soon Nick joined.

Helping
her down from my truck, she turned and looked up at me. “Do you want to stay for supper and meet my family?  You don’t have to if you don’t want to.  They are a lot to take on…”

I
cut her rambling off with a short kiss and smiled at her.

“
Wherever you are my darling, I want to be.” 

I
was pouring it on thick.  To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I could sit here with the family that ruined my family, but I was going to have to do it whether I wanted to or not.  My body was focused on getting what that kiss promised. Boy, I couldn’t get that kiss off my mind.  I’ve heard people talk about sparks when kissing someone, but those weren’t sparks… those were damn fireworks.  In my mind, I fully believe that had her brother not knocked on the window I would have made love to her in my truck and she deserved nothing less than to be in a bed surrounded by romance.  
Shit!  Where did that come from?
  Oh man I was in big trouble.

             
At least she only had one brother and a sister, right?  I could sit through a quiet dinner and then leave without it getting out of hand, right?  Maybe I could cause some major issues with her here and call my work done and book out of here?  Would I see her again? 
Shit!
  I was in big trouble if I kept thinking about her this way.  Maybe I shouldn’t sit through this dinner. 

Big
trouble.

“
I’ll go talk to Jason and let him know I am going to show you around the property.  He might want to meet you though.  Maybe you should come in and say hello with me while I talk to him?” She rambled.

“
Sure darling.”  I put out my arm and she took it.  We walked in the front door, Nick not far behind us. 

The
first thing that I noticed walking into the house was the huge table. 
How many people were coming to this dinner?
I wondered.  A girl came running over and hugged Mary.  She resembled Mary, so it had to be her sister.
