Destined to Succeed (11 page)

Branch had asked me to be his date and since we were a couple, I felt like I didn’t have a choice in the matter.

We were a couple, but we hadn’t had sex. I wouldn’t do that with him. I had sex with Cade and that almost ruined everything, so I made the decision to not do it again until my wedding night. Branch didn’t really love the idea, but he survived.

I’d heard rumors all year about him sleeping with other girls, but as horrible as this sounds, I didn’t really care. I didn’t consider us a real couple anyway. I didn’t plan on ever marrying him. But by everyone thinking we were a couple I didn’t have to worry about all the guys hitting on me or Callie giving me shit about Cade.

That girl freaking loved Cade. She couldn’t understand why we weren’t together and happy and planning our future. Well, we weren’t doing any of that because of Cade. I couldn’t make her understand, but when I was with Branch, she didn’t harp on me as much about it.

Everyone in town loved Branch and they thought we made the perfect couple. He was from a prominent family and my parents absolutely loved that. Especially, my mother. She thought Branch was perfect son-in-law material. She didn’t care that I didn’t love him. All that mattered was his background and what it would mean to her to have him as her son-in-law.

We stayed at the party at Branch’s house for a few hours. He was sneaking booze in the kitchen and was pretty buzzed by the time we were ready to leave for the bonfire party. I had brought jeans to change into after the party. Since the party was a little more formal, I had worn my pretty yellow dress that I wore under my graduation gown and matching heels. I went upstairs into the bathroom at Branch’s and pulled the dress up over my head. Apparently I didn’t get the lock on the door latched because before I knew what was going on, Branch had his arms around me and was pushing my stomach up against the sink.

“You smell so damn sweet,” he whispered as he placed soft kisses up and down my neck. I was watching him in the mirror as he stood behind me. He stuck out his tongue and made a swipe from my left shoulder up to my ear. My breath caught and I shuddered as his warm breath hit the wetness. Branch’s hands soon found my breasts. He unclasped my bra and moaned when he saw my nakedness in the mirror in front of us. He kneaded them and then squeezed my nipples. My breath hitched when he did that, and of course, he took that as a sign to do more.

His left hand started softly sneaking down my stomach until he got to the top of my pink panties. He was looking up at me through his long black eyelashes in the mirror. Those big blue eyes full of lust were about to make me give in. Then he slipped his hand down the front of my panties until he found my…
oh my goodness.
He definitely knew how to use his fingers. He found my clit and started pressing hard then alternating with small circles. When I was just about to come he slid his long finger inside me.  I was riding his hand and trying to stretch out my orgasm as long as I could.

“Fuck. That was hot,” he groaned as he pulled his finger out of my panties and placed it in his mouth. “Tastes fuckin’ sweet too.” He spun me around until I was facing him and he lifted me up onto the counter. “My turn.”

He unbuttoned his pants and slid down his boxers. He pressed in close to me and I could feel his hardness on my thigh. “I’ve waited so long for this,” he said as his lips found mine. His tongue was relentless. There wasn’t any part of my mouth he didn’t explore. Then I felt him try to push into me. “You’re so fuckin’ tight.” He got the tip in before I could stop him.

“Branch, no. I’m not ready for this. Not tonight, okay?” He pulled out and slammed his fist into the wall.

“You’d give it up to that fuckin’ Walker, but not me? What the hell does he have that I don’t?” Branch had let it slip a few months ago that he knew about me and Cade. He told me he didn’t like it, but we seemed to work through his anger over it. But when we would argue, he was always quick to bring it up.

“How many times are you going to throw that in my face? I can’t change the fact that I slept with Cade. Just like you can’t change the fact that you’ve slept with every girl in our class.”

His jaw dropped. He knew that I knew what he’d been up to and he should just shut up and let it go. So he basically did. “What, babe? What are you talkin’ about?” He placed his hand on my cheek. “I haven’t been with anyone since we’ve been seein’ each other.” He was trying to sound sincere, but he knew that we both knew better. “I wouldn’t do that to you.”

“Let’s just forget about this, okay? Let’s go to the party and say goodbye to all of our friends before they head off to bigger and better things and leave us here to survive the country life alone.”

His whole attitude changed after I caught him in that phenomenal lie. He was back to his normal flirty self.

“Okay.” Branch laughed and raised his eyebrow suggestively. “Want me to help you put your pants on?”

I grabbed the jeans out of his hand and shook my head. “No thanks, I think I got this.”

We rode to the creek in utter silence. I was sitting by the passenger window in Branch’s big ass candy-apple red double cab Chevy truck. I was trying really hard to stay as close to the door as possible. The thought of him touching me again tonight made me nauseous. What we did earlier in the bathroom was the farthest we had ever gone, and ever since that I just felt different. It felt like…well, it felt wrong.

Cade~

“Now, Amy. If you don’t stop doin’ that we ain’t gonna make it to the party.” This chick hadn’t stopped rubbin’ my dick since she got in the truck. I’d already had her last weekend, but damn I guess she’d really missed me and my cowboy. She was a couple years older than me and she was smokin’ hot. She was a tiny little thing, with long blonde hair and the biggest damn brown eyes. Brown eyes were my weakness. A chick with big brown eyes…shit. They owned me.

“But, I missed you, Cade. I missed you so bad.” I felt her little tongue runnin’ up my neck all along my jaw.

“I’m gonna wreck the truck, hon. When we get to the party I’ll fuck ya senseless, I promise.” I carefully removed her hand from my crotch.

“Fine. But I don’t understand why I can’t at least suck your dick on the way there.” Holy shit, this chick was crazy, but in a really fun way. She had her face all scrunched up and was stickin’ out that bottom lip tryin’ to pout.

“Hon, as much as I love to feel your sweet little mouth wrapped around my dick, I love my truck more. I can’t let nothin’ happen to my baby. I’ll make it up to ya, soon…real soon.” I ran my hand up between her legs and felt how fuckin’ ready she was for me. “Damn, baby. You’re soakin’.”

“I’ve been waitin’ for this all week, Cade. I need you inside me. You are the best lay I ever had.”  She was givin’ me that evil little grin. “And we both know I’ve had a lot.”

Whoa!

We pulled up to the creek and parked. I got out and Amy slid out right behind me. She squeezed my ass, and then slid her hands into my pockets from behind me. She had my dick in her happy little hands before I even got around to the front of the truck.

“Damn. Let me say hi to some people before you violate me, hon.” I was grinnin’ as I removed her hands from my pockets and took her right hand in mine. We walked over and had a seat on one of the square bales that were bein’ used as make shift seats around the bonfire.

She couldn’t keep her hands off of me. I tried to get us a drink, and she pulled me back down beside her and started kissin’ my neck. She was holdin’ onto my thigh. Goddamn it…if she didn’t calm down, I wouldn’t be able to hold back much longer.

My resistance finally broke. A man can only take so much. I put my hand on her cheek and then kissed the hell out of her. My tongue was findin’ places in her mouth that ain’t nobody ever felt before. I pulled my mouth from hers and whispered in her ear, “I need to fuck you, now.” She smiled and we walked over to the grove of trees just beyond the creek. It was pitch black out so we wouldn’t have to worry about anyone seein’ us. Not like that would be a big worry of mine anyway.

“I need you, Cade. I need you now!” Amy was screamin’ as I was unzippin’ my Wranglers and gettin’ cowboy suited up to play. “Hurry, hurry.” This chick was gonna be the death of me.

I had her pushed up against a big ole maple tree. I pulled her dress up and her panties down and sunk into her balls deep. I’m a big boy, but she had no problem takin’ me all the way in. “FUCK!” She screamed as I rode her hard.

I was nippin’ at her neck and thrustin’ into her hard, over and over. She was definitely gonna be diggin’ tree bark out of her ass later tonight. “You. Are. The. Best. Fuck. Ever. Cade. Fucking. Walker,” she screamed as I thrusted.

When she came I looked deep into her big brown eyes, but somethin’ was missin’. There was always somethin’ missin’. I came right after…this chick was definitely howl-worthy.

“We need to do that again...and again...and again.” Amy seemed pretty happy with what we’d just done.
It was pretty damn great, if I do say so myself.

“I don’t usually do that with anyone more than once. You’re already the exception to my rule, hon.”

“Well, fuck you then. I can find somebody who I can do that to over and over and he’ll love me for it.”

I didn’t want to sound like a total ass after what we’d just done, but I said it anyway. “Then maybe you should go find that guy, because I ain’t him.” I zipped up my Wranglers and started back to the party.

“Baby, don’t go. I didn’t mean what I said. I know you don’t want anything more than sex. Let’s just have fun and forget what I said.”

She was fuckin’ insane, but I could spend the rest of the night inside her or…
holy shit
. She dropped to her knees and had my cock out and in her mouth before I could even think about what was goin’ on. We spent a lot of time in the field enjoyin’ ourselves. I missed most of the damn graduation party, but I would never forget the shit that girl could do with her hands and her magical little tongue.

We’d go join the party, ya know, after we’d worn each other out.

Suzanna~

I knew Branch could tell something was off because he didn’t say a word to me as he walked around to the passenger door and helped me get out of the truck. He took my hand in his tentatively. I nodded and we started to walk toward the party.

It was pitch black, the only light was coming from the bonfire which sat right in front of the creek. The creek wasn’t real big, but it was the perfect place for us to have a drink. It was surrounded by tall trees and there was a small wooden bridge that crossed it. That bridge scared the crap outta me. I swear to God it felt like it was gonna give way when you drove over it.

“Hey, jackass! Get over here.” Chris was hollering at Branch from the other side of the bonfire. Somebody had brought square bales of hay and put them in a circle around the bonfire for seats. Callie was here with Chris tonight. I really didn’t like that guy, but he was really hot and Callie thought he was perfect husband material. He and Branch were best buds, and Callie and I were close so we spent a lot of time together. The more I got to know Chris - the more I didn’t like him. He and Callie had been sleeping together for a while. She thought it was love, but I was pretty sure it was just lust. I felt bad for her, but I had tried to talk her out of it many, many times.

Walt Matthews was in love with Callie and had been since the day he laid eyes on her. I kept hoping that she would open her eyes and realize it, hopefully before he gave up on her. But the way he was looking at her from across the bonfire tonight told me he probably wouldn’t ever be able to give up on her. That boy had it bad.

Branch pulled me over to where Chris and Callie were sharing a hay bale. “Don’t call me names, asshole.” Branch knocked Chris’s hat off. When Chris went to grab it, he fell backwards off his seat. He took Callie down with him and the giggling ensued. Apparently, they had been drinking - a lot.

They were making out and trying to find Chris’s hat when I heard that voice. The voice that made my insides shake. I looked over across the bonfire and saw him. He was talking to some tiny little blonde. She was smiling and squeezing his thigh.  He put his hand on her face and then covered her mouth with a heated kiss.

I couldn’t look away. It was like a damn train wreck. He was thrusting his tongue into her mouth and she was squealing, when she could breathe, because after all, he was fucking attacking her here in front of God and everyone. Finally, Cade released her mouth and leaned in whispering something in her ear. She nodded and stood up. He reached over, patted her perky little ass and they started walking off toward the grove of trees on the other side of the creek.

Hmmm…wonder what they were going off to do? Damn man whore.

My blood was boiling. My head knew that feeling this way was ridiculous, but my body was having a completely different reaction. I shouldn’t be so upset about this. I knew Cade screwed everything with legs. I wasn’t stupid. I had heard all of the stories about him and since I had been with him I usually knew when they were telling the truth. I always listened, laughed, and went on about my business. I didn’t like hearing about all of the girls he was sleeping with, but it was, what it was. I hadn’t been with anyone but him.

“Baby? You alright?” Branch asked as he downed the first of what I was sure would be many shots at the party.

“Can you get me one of those? Or three?” I needed something to forget. Booze would help with that, right? Branch went and grabbed a bottle of whiskey. Really? Whiskey? I wasn’t much of a drinker, so I figured that would make me forget. He poured me a shot and whispered, “It’ll burn a little. But just the first one. After that it’ll go down real smooth. Promise.” He handed me the shot and I poured the whole thing down my throat. It burned like hell!

“Another shot of whiskey, please bartender?” I asked jokingly.

We were all sitting around the fire laughing and drinking. Everyone was talking about college and weddings and the future. I was looking for someone. I was looking for those damn green eyes that had owned me since I was nine years old. Why? Why did I have to love that bastard? Why couldn’t I love Branch? He was cute, rich, and nice. He seemed to really like me, of course he screwed around a lot, but what guy didn’t? It was probably my fault anyway, because I wouldn’t sleep with him.
