And I Love Her (2 page)

Cash Matthews

That was exactly what I wanted.

When I proposed to her, I had no idea how she’d react. Thankfully, she went along with it. But I had no idea she was such a tremendous actress. It was Oscar-worthy. But the moment we had afterward was beautiful.

I wasn’t sure if she wanted me in that way anymore, but she gave me every indication she did the other night. She begged me to kiss her, but she didn’t need to beg me at all.

I hadn’t felt those lips in so long. They were perfect against my mouth. Every time I kissed her, I had the need to claim her as my own. And when I moved inside her…that felt right. I wasn’t planning on wearing a condom. She was the last woman I made love to, and I didn’t want to be separated by latex. And I wanted to come inside her. It was an obsession I had.

I was in love with my fiancé. But she didn’t love me back. It was hard to accept and painful on the heart, but it was the reality of the situation. I just hoped I could change her mind in the year of our marriage. My happiness depended on it.

I stared at her while she slept. I missed doing this. It was a morning ritual. She would lie still then suddenly breathe a deep sigh. She repeated the process every few minutes. At least she didn’t snore.

Prudence made a final sigh before one lid lifted. When she saw me lying beside her, she immediately snuggled into me.

That was a good response. “How’d you sleep?”

“I’m not awake.” Her arm wrapped around my waist.

“Oh. My mistake.”

She buried her face in my neck. Her light breathing felt warm on my skin.

I didn’t mind. She could lie there all day. Suddenly, she pulled away then retreated to her side of the bed.

Damn.

“How did you sleep?”

“Great.”

She sat up then looked at the clock. “I didn’t mean to sleep here. I’ll go back to my room.”

No. No. No.
If I was marrying her, I wanted all the benefits. “I want you to sleep in here.”

She averted her gaze for a moment. “Why?”

Why? Hmm…
“If we’re going to be married, we should act like it. And since we slept together, I assume you don’t mind doing it again?”

Her voice came out as a whisper. “No.”

“Good. Would you want to return to the arrangement we had before? We’ll enjoy our time together, be monogamous, and we’ll go our separate ways at the end? We are still awkward around each other, and I think laying down the foundation will help us determine the expectations of the other person.”

She processed the words for a moment. “It’ll be just like last time?”

Unless you want something more. I know I do.
“Yeah.”

Prudence nodded. “I would like that.”

I smiled. “Me too. Unless you decide you want something else…” I wondered how she would interpret that statement.

“Something else?”

Come on…
“Yeah. Like something serious.”

“Because then we would end it?”

Rejection. Ouch. That is not what I wanted.
“Yeah…”

A slight look of panic covered her face. Her eyes widened slightly then returned to their normal size. “That won’t be a problem.”

It wouldn’t? How could she share that perfect moment with me and not feel anything? I can’t believe someone hurt her so much that she was completely numb. I admit I’m not the greatest catch, but I’m not the worst either.

“Where do we go from here?” she asked.

I hooked my arm around her waist and pulled her to my side of the bed. “Let’s start here.”

A breathtaking smile covered her face. She snuggled next to me then wrapped her leg around my waist.
This was better.

I placed my hand on the nape of her neck
then looked down at her. My nose rubbed against hers.

“Your proposal was beautiful.”

I smiled while I brushed her lips with mine. “I’m glad you liked it.”

“Where did you come up with it?”

“When you lived here, you used to light candles all the time. I knew you loved them. The rest was just an idea.”

“I loved it.”

“Good.” My hands glided through her hair.

“And the engraving?”

“It’s what I always call you—to myself.”

“It’s sweet.”

I kissed her forehead. “You’re sweet.”

She took a deep breath when I touched her then gripped the back of my neck. Her reaction to my touch was always explosive. I knew she felt the same chemist
ry I did. “Since we are talking about this, how is this going to work?”

We are going to get married and stay married. You’re going to fall in love with me and ask me to never leave you. And we’ll live the rest of our lives in bliss.
“We’ll keep this arrangement. We’ll just have to convince everyone else we’re in love.”

“Like who?”

“My family, friends, and your family.”

“Oh.” She sighed. “This will be a lot of work.”

“And it has to be convincing.”

She rubbed my shoulder then stared at my chin. “Okay.”

“And we should meet with immigration and get everything rolling. We don’t have time to waste.”

“I wish this never happened…”

That stung. It wasn’t the way I wanted to win her over, but it wasn’t the worst thing in the world. I’d be sleeping next to her every night. There was nothing to complain about. “We’ll get through it together.”

“I should have filed my papers. I’m so stupid.”

“No, you aren’t,” I said firmly. “You didn’t know.”

“That still makes me stupid,” she said with a laugh.

I grabbed her waist. “No you aren’t,” I said with a firm voice.

She didn’t pull away. In fact, she edged closer to me.

My cock was hard the moment I woke up, so I pressed it against her leg, telling her exactly what I wanted.

She bit her lip while she glanced down.

Ooh…I liked that look.
I pressed my lips to her ear. “How do you want it, baby?”

“Baby?”

“That’s your name.” And I would keep calling her that even if she asked me not to. “Answer me.” My hands moved between her legs then applied pressure where she liked it. Her legs opened slightly, telling me she wanted it. I rubbed my fingers in a circular motion then breathed into her ear.

“
Mmm…”

The moisture started to flood on my fingers. And I was harder than I’d ever been. I loved knowing I made her feel good. “I’m waiting…”

She turned on her stomach then stuck her ass out.

“Good choice.” I moved behind her then rubbed my tip against her entrance, just to tease her a little bit.

“Cash…”

I didn’t want to make my fiancé suffer anymore. I moved inside her in one slick motion.

She arched her back as I moved inside her, a loud moan escaping her lips. I leaned back on the balls of my feet then pulled her to my chest. When I moved inside her again, a quiet pant escaped her lips. I knew it was deeper than she was used to. I wrapped my arm around her stomach and moved into her at a gentle pace.

I couldn’t believe I was fucking her again. I missed it so much. My head slid into her tight wetness and made me want to blow at every second. She was so tight that I knew she hadn’t slept with anyone else while we’d been apart. And that made me feel better.

I rocked into her slowly with even thrusts because I wasn’t used to the unbelievable goodness. I was going to blow my load every time I moved into her, but I couldn’t do that unless she reached orgasm first. I was determined to rock her world and her heart. She’d be in love with me eventually.

“Fuck me.”

Why did she have to say that?
I gripped her breasts as I moved into her hard and fast. In order not to come undone, I thought about Parker. It stopped me from escalating into that place I desired to be.

When Prudence gripped my thighs and slid onto my cock on her own, I bit my lip so I wouldn’t come. I knew she having her moment so I grabbed her hips and thrust into her hard and fast.

“Right there…”

“You got it, baby.”

Her nails dug into my skin as she finished. Her breathing was fast and labored. I stared at her nipples and saw the hardened tips. Looking at her perfect body sent me reeling.  Her gorgeous features always sent me sky-high.

“You’re so beautiful, it’s hard not to come.”

She grabbed the back of my neck and turned her face toward mine. “Come, Cash. I want you to fill me.”

Holy fucking shit. Did she just say that?
She never talked dirty to me before. I combusted as soon as the words left her lips. I squeezed her hips and bucked inside her, having an orgasm more intense than any other. “Baby…” My cock finished shooting out and I pulled her to my chest, still resting on my knees. It was so good that I just wanted to go back to sleep.

She turned her mouth to me. “That was good.”

I couldn’t speak. “Hmm…” I slowly pulled out of her then felt the sudden coldness of the air. I wanted to set camp in there and never leave.

She lay on the bed then sighed
happily, satisfied with the orgasm I gave her.

I moved beside her then grabbed her hand. “When did you start talking dirty?”

“Talking dirty?” She turned on her side then drew circles on my chest.

“That’s what you were doing.”

“No. I was just telling you to come inside me.” She had a mischievous grin on he face.

“Well, I like it when you do that.”

She placed a kiss on the skin over my heart, just like she did the first night we had sex. It was a moment I’d never forget. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

I pulled the hair out of her face and stared at her exquisite features. Every time I was with her, I felt like I was with a supermodel, but better. Her thin lips were curved slightly at t
he end, giving it a slight shape. Her eyes always sparkled, even when she was sad. She was, hands down, the most beautiful thing in the fucking world.

And she was mine.

Prudence Clearwater

After I joined Cash downstairs, I saw him drinking his coffee while he wore his suit. That made my heart fall.

“You have to work today?” I couldn’t keep the disappointment out of my voice.

His eyes softened. “Baby, I’m sorry. I wish I could stay here with you.”

“Me too.”

He put down
his coffee then held me close. “You’ll miss me?”

“Yes.” I rested my face against his chest.

Cash pressed a kiss to my forehead. “I’ll be back before you know it. And I’m sure you have a million things to do.”

“Just practice.”

He cupped my chin and directed my gaze onto him. “Just be productive and the time will fly.”

“Okay.” I just got him back. I wasn’t ready to let go. I knew I was being clingy but I was just as clingy as before.

“We’re having a party tomorrow night.”

What? “We are?” I didn’t recall him mentioning that.

“It’s my engagement party for work. I want everyone to meet you—as my fiancé.”

Oh. That made me nervous. “That sounds like a lot of work and pressure.”

“We have an image to uphold, baby.”

“I suppose.”

He studied my face. “Why are you so nervous to meet new people?”

Cash wouldn’t let me look away. He kept my chin pointed at him. It was hard to hide things from him, at least when he looked at me like that. “Now I’m your fiancé, it’s different…”

“Different how?”

I shrugged. “I want to be perfect for you.”

His eyes softened. “Baby, you are perfect. I’m the one with a trophy wife. Believe me, everyone is going to wonder how I landed you.”

Yeah right.
Cash was the sexiest man I’ve ever seen in my life. He was confident, handsome, rich, charming…I was just awkward. “You’re too sweet to me.”

He kissed the corner of my mouth and let his lips linger. “Because you’re my fiancé. And she gets everything she deserves.”

“Including a matching Range Rover?” I asked with a smile.

“Even more.” He dropped his hand and grabbed his bag. “I need to get moving if I want to fight the traffic.”

Ugh. I didn’t want him to leave.
“Okay.”

Just like a fifties wife, I followed him to the door.

“What did you want to do tonight?” he asked. “I can take you to dinner, to a play, to a movie, whatever you want.”

I didn’t want to do any of those things. Since we agreed to return to our previous arrangement, I felt comfortable saying exactly what I wanted. I only had one secret to hide. “I want to stay in your bedroom for the evening.”

His eyes widened and a smirk spread across his lips. “To do what?”

I grabbed his tie and pulled his lips to mine. But I didn’t let them touch me. Instead, I teased him. “So you can come inside me over and over.”

Cash released the air he was holding, a moan along with it. “Fuck.”

I smiled triumphantly, getting the reaction I wanted.

He pulled out his wallet then handed me a wad of cash. “You have homework today.”

“And what is that?”

“Lingerie. Lost of lingerie.” He grabbed my face and gave me a scorching kiss. He pulled away and pressed his forehead to mine. “I’ll fuck your brains out as soon as I get home. And you better be ready for it.”

The area between my legs started to burn.

♫

I called Scott and asked him to drive me to
an intimate clothing store. I felt awkward making the request but I couldn’t drive myself. Dean was always an option, but that would just be…weird. He and I were close but I don’t think he’d appreciate taking me to pick out my sex clothes.

Cash gave me a lot of money—
a lot.
And I think he’d be upset if I didn’t put it all to use. He clearly didn’t need to budget. Soon, I’d be getting my big checks and I could start buying my own things. I couldn’t wait for that.

There were a few I particularly liked, but I knew Cash would like something slutty. I found a black ensemble with a teddy and garters. The bra was a massive push-up and my tits looked three times bigger than normal. I knew he’d want to fuck me in it.

After I got home, I waited for him. The day seemed to stretch on. I practiced my music and my vocals and made a few phone calls, but I didn’t have much to do. Except wait.

When I knew he’d be at the house soon, I curled my hair and made it enormous. Strands were flying all over the place. I definitely looked like a girl that wanted to be fucked. I considered putting on makeup but I doubted Cash wanted me to. He said he loved me for my natural appearance.

I took all the extra candles from my proposal and lit them in the house. All the lights were off and I waited in the entryway, wearing my lingerie and black heels. Right on cue, Cash’s Range Rover pulled into the driveway.

When the door flew open, his eyes immediately went to me. He studied every inch of my body
, seeing the slutty lingerie I wore. His eyes lingered on the heels before he moved back up. I knew he was pleased by seeing the intense look in his eyes. He shut the door behind him then locked it. After that, he was on me.

He pushed me against the wall then kissed me. He wasn’t gentle like he normally was. I knew he had one thing on his mind, and he’d been thinking about that one thing all day.

Then he pulled away and stared at my body. His hands moved over my tits and squeezed them. I liked how harsh he was being with me. I felt sexy and desirable. His fingers touched the garters along my thighs then pressed his mouth to my cleavage. He licked and sucked until he moved up my neck.

I was wet for him the moment he left for work, but now I was drenched. Cash moved his fingers inside the material then found my wet clitoris. He rubbed it harshly, making me gasp immediately. I wrapped my arms around his neck and breathed into his mouth, unable to kiss him. My concentration was on the explosion down below.

Cash slipped two fingers inside me and felt the moisture. “You’re so fucking wet.”

“’Cause I want you to fuck me.”

He growled. “Baby, I love it when you talk like that.” Cash dragged me toward his bedroom then kissed me as we moved up the stairs. His fingers pulled out of me then moved to my ass. He squeezed it as hard as my chest.

When we reached his bedroom, I was pushed onto the bed. Cash stripped his clothes with lightning speed.
Someone wanted to get laid…

His cock twitched as he stood in front of me, a picture of pure masculinity. Every chisel of his body was perfect. I loved feeling that heavy body on top of me when he thrust into me.

When he moved in, I pressed my heel to his chest. “Nah-ah.”

He growled then stared at my pussy. I knew he was anxious. But that’s what I wanted. To build him so high, he’d explode.

“Lay on the bed,” I commanded.

He stared at the area between my legs before he did as I said.

I pulled two panties from my drawer and tied his arms to the bedpost. He smirked while he watched me.

“I didn’t think our sex could get any better.”

I grabbed a shirt and tied it around his head, covering his eyes. “We’ll see…”

He writhed on the bed, trying to break free. “Baby, please let me watch. You look so fucking sexy right now. Please.”

I pressed my fingers to his lips. “Are you begging, Cash?”

“Fuck yes.”

I gave him a gentle kiss, not answering him. His hips moved up as he felt me. His cock twitched. I could tell he was getting anxious.

“Come on, baby…”

I gave in to his plea and untied the shirt. He smiled then looked down at me, waiting for my next move.

I lowered myself to his waist then leaned toward his cock. It twitched again when I came near. Cash took a deep breath while he watched me. I licked the base to the tip, tasting the sweetness of his juice.
Then I inserted him to the back of my throat. Cash immediately pulled his arms from the headboard, but they were held in place. “Hmmm…”

I moved him into my mouth a few time
s before I pulled out. He released the air from his lungs then rocked his hips gently. I removed my bra then pressed my tits together. When Cash saw me, excitement sparking in his eyes, I placed his cock between them and moved up and down.

“Fuck, baby.” He rocked his hips while I moved, making it hard and fast.

“You like my tits?” I asked innocently.

“Hmm…”

I’ll take that as a yes.

“Baby, stop.”

“Why?”
I knew why. I just wanted to tease him.

“I’m going to come…and I don’t want to.”

I pulled away then gave his cock a kiss on the tip. Then I crawled up his chest then took off my heels. I couldn’t wear them for what I was about to do next. I rose on the balls of my feet then placed his tip at my entrance. Cash bit his lip while he watched. Then I sheathed him all the way down, feeling him reach deep inside me.

“Shit.” Cash pulled on the restraints. “Shit.”

I moved hard and fast, loving the smooth glide. Cash was struggling to make it last but he was losing the battle. I knew I had to reach my climax if I wanted to have one. But it came immediately.

I dug my nails into his sides then screamed. “Oh god!” I fucked him hard as I met my euphoria.

“Beautiful,” Cash said quietly.

When I finished, I caught my breath, my hair in my face. “God, you feel good.”

Cash pulled on his restraints. “Baby, let me go. If you want me to make you come again, I need some control.”

I leaned over him, my breasts in his face. “Maybe I don’t want to come again.”

He bit his lip and moaned.

“Cash, how do you want to come?”

He grabbed my lower lip with his teeth and sucked. “You’re driving me crazy…”

“How do you want to come, Cash?”

His eyes glowed with the desire he felt for me. But he still wouldn’t say it.

I massaged my breasts with my hands, right in his face. “Tell me.”

Cash’s voice came out quiet. “Your mouth.”

“Excellent choice,” I said with a sexy voice. I returned to his wai
st then took him in my mouth. It only took a few strokes to make him crumble. My tongue massaged him and licked him. Then he exploded deep in my throat.

“Holy shit.” Cash panted while he squirted his hot liquid into my mouth. He still pulled on my knickers even though they were thin and lacy. He lied back when he was done, catching his breath.

I kissed his stomach and his chest while he regained his footing.

He stared at me with new eyes. “Where did this come from?”

“I like fucking you. What’s the big deal?”

“We never fucked like this.”

“Are you complaining?” I asked with a smile.

“No…”

“I thought not.”

“If I wasn’t
tied up, I’d pin you down and break the bed.”

I pulled my panties off his wrist. “Because you couldn’t break through these…”

He smiled. “I guess I liked not being in control for once.”

“No. You loved it.”

“That I did.” He pulled me to his chest. “I like your selection.” He felt the garters.

“I have plenty more.”

“Excellent.” He snuggled into the pillow beside me. “Wear a new one when I fuck you again.”

“Yes, babe.”

“Babe?” he asked with a smile.

I shrugged. “It just slipped.”

“You can call me that whenever you want.” He rubbed his nose against mine.

I snuggled beside him, tired from my unbelievable orgasm.

“How was your day?”

“Boring,” I said. “Yours?”

“Everyone seemed excited about the party.”

“You planned it at the last minute?” I asked incredulously.

“That’s how show business works.”

“What do I need to do to prepare?”

“Nothing,” he said. “I’ll have a dress for you and the evening will be catered.”

“Will it be here?”

“No. The yacht.”

Wow. This was going to be fancy.
“Okay.”

“Don’t be nervous.” He caught the look.

“I’ll try.”

He stared at me for a moment. “Have you spoken to your brother?”

Ugh. I kept forgetting.
And I knew how pissed he’d be for waiting so long, so that made me want to call him even less. “No…”

“You should call him.”

“I know…”

He ran his fingers through my hair. “I need a few minutes to recharge if you want to do it now.”

“I want to say in bed with you,” I said immediately.

He smiled. “I like this side of you.”

“The slutty side?”
