Destined to Succeed (23 page)

I screamed out, “Ahhhh!” as he roughly pinched my nipple. He tore his lips from mine and swept me up into his arms.

“I think we better take this upstairs.”

I just nodded as he carried me toward his bedroom. I couldn’t believe this was happening. I was finally going to make love to Cade again. I had dreamed about this so many times. The few times when Branch and I had sex, I fantasized about Cade. Tonight my fantasy would become a reality. I needed this and by God, I deserved to enjoy it.

When we got to his bedroom, he gently sat me down on the bed. He knelt down in front of me and put his hands on my knees. He pulled his shirt off and threw it down on the ground. Then he started to unbuckle his pants. I placed my hands on his and slowly helped him unbuckle and unzip them. I ran my hand along the length of him and a low growl came from deep in his throat. His hands were under my shirt and tossing it to the ground while I was kicking off my shoes and pulling off my jeans. He pressed me down to the bed and pulled my ass up off of the bed so he could finish taking my jeans off. I was laying in front of him in nothing but my bra and panties. He was down to his underwear…man, I missed those tightie-whities.

“Suzy Q, I need to tell ya somethin’,” Cade whispered in my ear as he knelt down in front of me.

“Not now, okay? Let’s just enjoy each other and talk tomorrow. I need this, Cade. I need you,” I whispered back. Then I pressed my lips on his neck and tasted the sweetness that was Cade.

Cade pulled away from me and knelt down again. I felt him kiss my inner thigh. His hands were exploring my stomach and breasts, while his nose was running up along my sex. “You always smell fuckin’ amazin’,” he moaned as he pushed my panties aside and slid his tongue into me. I had to bite down on the pillow to muffle the sound escaping my lips. He was thrusting his tongue in and out and I was just about to explode when he replaced his tongue with his fingers and started using his tongue on my clit. My clit was throbbing and when he nibbled on it, I exploded against his mouth. I had never come that hard in my life. I was pretty sure that I almost blacked out. When I finally opened my eyes, Cade’s face was hovering over mine. “Most beautiful fuckin’ thing I’ve ever seen.”

“I bet you say that to all the girls,” I laughed, but he didn’t.

“Only you, Suzy Q. I’ve never said that to anyone but you.”

He started kissing my neck and then between my breasts. When he took my nipple into his mouth, I shuddered. He looked up at me and grinned. Then he moved over and did the same thing to my other breast. He grabbed my thigh and pulled my leg around him. When he ground his hips into mine I arched my back and pushed my breast further into his mouth. He groaned loudly and then staring into my eyes, he slowly slid inside me.

I had almost forgotten how big he was. I felt so full and so loved. His eyes never left mine - neither one of use could look away as he slowly thrust into me.  It was as if we would die if we broke eye contact. Every sensation was amplified this way. I loved this man - God how I loved this man - and this was not sex, it was so much more than that. We were making love and I didn’t want it to ever end. But all good things must end…

Cade closed his eyes and a very low, deep howl escaped his lips as he came inside me. When I felt him jerk inside of me, something inside me let go and I came again with him. Making love that way - never looking away from each other - was amazing. It was truly meaningful. 

“You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen and I’m never lettin’ you go again.” Finally, those words I had dreamed of hearing for years - I believed him - this was forever.

~Chapter 19~

Cade~

I woke up to the most amazin’ sound. Suzy Q snorin’. It was perfect. As she breathed in and out she made this nasally sound that wasn’t really a snort, but it was pretty close. I leaned up on my elbow and watched her breathe. I could’ve stayed like that all damn day.

“Whatcha staring at, cowboy?” Suzy Q asked with a smile on her face.

“My best friend.”

“Oh, are we just friends again?”

“Hell no! You’re my best friend with benefits now.”

“Really? That’s what we are, huh?”

I couldn’t look at that mouth another second without kissin’ it. “Would you just shut up and kiss me?”

“Yes -,” I cut her off by coverin’ her mouth with mine. We were both naked and only covered with a thin white sheet. I could make out the outline of her breasts as she pulled the sheet tighter around her. I had to touch them. I mean, they were right there just beggin’ to be touched. When I reached for the sheet to pull it away, she shuddered.

“What’s wrong, darlin’? You know I’ve seen them before, right?” I asked with a wiggle of my eyebrow.

“Ha ha! Aren’t you funny? Of course you’ve seen them before, but it was dark last night and when you saw them before, I was a lot younger. Everything isn’t exactly in the same place it was when I was nineteen.”

“Hon, everything you have is exactly where it needs to be. Believe me.” I pulled the sheet completely off the bed. We were both laying there butt naked. I couldn’t take my eyes away from her. My eyes roamed from her toes to her nose over and over again. 

“So, you like what you see, cowboy?” she asked nervously.

“You have no idea.” I sucked her nipple into my mouth and the moan that came from deep in her throat told me everything I needed to hear. I massaged her other breast - I didn’t want it to feel left out. I kissed a trail from between her breasts down to her belly-button. I dipped my tongue inside and then ran it in circles around it. Then I licked a trail down to her little bud. Tastin’ her was one of the most amazin’ things I’d ever experienced. I couldn’t get enough of her flavor. I could eat, lick, and suck on her all day and all night if she’d let me. I ran my tongue in circles and then when she got really worked up, I started to trace the number eight over and over again. I wanted to feel her come in my mouth, but I had to see her face when she did. So when she was just about ready to burst, I stopped what I was doin’ and slid up to her mouth. I kissed her and swiped my tongue through her mouth. My fingers slid down to where my tongue had just been and finished the job. I was lookin’ in those beautiful brown eyes when she came. I wanted to watch her do that for the rest of our lives. I felt whole when we were together. She made me feel like the man I’d always wanted to be.

She was the one that my dad had told me about. He always said, “Son, when you find the right one, you’ll just know it. Your dick won’t pick her. Your heart will. Always listen to your heart, because your dick can be a lyin’ bastard.” He was so right. My heart had picked Suzy Q years ago, but that lyin’ bastard was too stupid to point me in the direction my heart knew I needed to go.

“My heart picked you, Suzy Q. My heart always knew it was you.”

“I love you, Cade. Not as a friend, but as the man I want to grow old with. I can’t stand the thought of not having you in my life.”

“That ain’t ever gonna happen. I’m in love with ya too, hon. Always have been. I was just too damn stupid to realize it.”

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for all of this, Cade. I feel like I screwed up everything.” Suzy Q sat up and got a real serious look on her face. “Branch is a worthless human being, but he gave me my daughter. I love Isabella. She’s my heart and always will be. I wouldn’t change the past, because I wouldn’t do anything that would take her away from me.”

“You know how I feel about that little girl. She’s owned a chunk of my heart since the first time I saw those big blue eyes and…” I reached up and played with one of Suzy Q’s long red curls that was lyin’ across her breasts. I swept my finger over her nipple and felt a shiver go through her body. “Her beautiful red hair she got from her momma.”

She looked at me with those big brown eyes and I had to kiss her. I reached up and pressed my lips to hers. I didn’t want this moment to ever end. I was finally where I was supposed to be. Suzy Q and I were finally together. I would make sure that my girls were happy for the rest of their lives.

“Cade, I’ve loved you since…well, I can’t remember a time since I’ve known you, that I didn’t love you.”

“I’m sorry too, hon. I’m sorry that I wasted so many years. I’m sorry that I slept with all those women.”

“Okay, cowboy. Let’s set some ground rules here. I don’t need or care to know about all the women you’ve slept with. That is just information you do not need to share with me.”

I grabbed her by the arms and flipped her to where I was lyin’ over her. “Darlin’, you didn’t let me get to the good part of my story.” I kissed her neck and whispered in her ear, “Somethin’ was always missin’. I finally figured out what it was.” I continued a trail of kisses down to her breast. I nipped at her nipple before I lifted up and looked straight into her eyes. “It was you.” As I kissed her lips, I said, “The feel of your mouth on mine.” I ran my hand down to her breast and squeezed. “Your perfect breasts.” Releasing her breast, my hand traveled further down. I slid my hand around and cupped her ass. “Your amazin’ ass.” She laughed as I reached my hand around to my favorite part of her perfect little body. “The taste of your sweet little pussy and the way it feels when I’m buried inside you and you’re about to explode around me.” I slipped a finger inside her and she moaned. “Oh, and how could I forget your sounds? Damn, you make the sexiest sounds.” I pushed another finger inside her. She was trying to be quiet, but she couldn’t hold in the gasp that escaped her lips, when I crawled down between her legs and pushed my tongue deep inside her. It didn’t take long for her to come undone. I looked up into her eyes, “And that look you have on your face right now. Knowin’ I put that look on your face, it means everything to me.”

She was blushin’. God, I loved to see that blush on her face. I laid down beside her and turned us to where we were lyin’ on our sides facin’ each other. I had my arm over her waist and she was rubbin’ her hand over the tattoo on my chest.  “I love ya, Suzy Q. I know I fucked this up. I know I hurt ya. I’ll never forgive myself for that, but I’ll spend the rest of my life makin’ it up to ya. I promise.” I chuckled, “You do realize you ain’t gonna be able to get rid of me now. You’re kinda stuck with me.”

“I can think of a lot worse things to be stuck with, cowboy.” She laughed as she reached down and grabbed a hold of cowboy.

“Now, hon, we ain’t ever gonna get outta this bed if you start doin’ that.”

“Who said anything about getting outta bed?” That’s when we heard it.

Izzy B was knockin’ on the door. “Uncky Cade. Where’s momma? Momma are you with Uncky Cade?”

We both looked at each other. We had no idea what to do next. I climbed up and threw my shirt at Suzy Q. “Put this on.”

As I pulled on my Wranglers, I opened the door and scooped Izzy B up in my arms. “Momma, whatcha doin’ in Uncky Cade’s room?” She was so cute with her little nose all scrunched up. She was lookin’ all confused.

Suzy Q had sat up against the headboard and pulled my shirt on. I sat Izzy B down on the bed and she crawled up to get on Suzy Q’s lap. “Momma and Uncle Cade were just talking about what we were gonna do today. Uncle Cade thought it might be fun for us to go riding and maybe have a picnic? Would you like to do that today?”

She nodded. “Momma, why do you have on Uncky Cade’s shirt?”

Suzy Q turned beet red. “Your momma spilled coffee all over her shirt, so I let her borrow one of mine,” I answered for her.

“Okay. I’m gonna go get dwessed.” Izzy B jumped outta the bed and started walkin’ off toward her room.

“Holy hell!” Suzy Q looked scared to death.

“What?” I wrapped my arms around her as I sat down beside her on the bed. “We have to tell her. She’s gonna be so happy. I hate to brag, but she kinda loves me.”

“Well that must run in our genes, because I kinda love you too.” She kissed me with all of the passion she kissed me with last night.

“I know some jeans I’d like to run into,” I chuckled.

“Um, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I don’t have on any pants.” She laughed as she stood up and lifted up my shirt so I could see that she wasn’t wearin’ a damn thing underneath. I slapped her behind.

“Woman, you are gonna be the death of me. You can’t say somethin’ like that then just get up and leave.”

“Sorry, cowboy. I have to go get ready for a picnic.” She smiled and I watched the woman that I loved walk outta my room and pick up the other love of my life and start to carry her downstairs. Life couldn’t get better than what it was right now.

Suzanna~

Isabella and I made some bologna sandwiches for our picnic. I’d made some deviled eggs the day before and we packed some chips and soda. My mom had brought us a platter of lemon bars, so we packed those up too. We were all ready for our picnic.

Izzy B had thrown on a cute little sundress with pink and purple polka dots on it. She had on her old brown cowboy boots. That kid was just like me…a little girly, but all country. She asked me to wear a dress like she did, so I put on a peach sundress that was trimmed in eyelet lace and I had to pair it with my old worn brown cowboy boots. We both pulled our red locks up into a ponytail and we were all set. Cade came downstairs wearing his signature Wranglers, cowboy boots, Stetson, and a green John Deere t-shirt with the sleeves cut out. He looked HOT, but he always did. That man was sex on a stick.

“My girls ready for our picnic?” he asked as he pulled me and Isabella into a hug. He squeezed tight.

Isabella coughed, “Your hug is too stwong, Uncky Cade.” Cade laughed and let us go.

“We’re all ready. I’ve got lunch ready to put into the saddlebags. Which horses are we gonna take out?” It hurt me to think about all of the animals that were lost in the fire. I hated to think about it.

Cade~

“Let’s take Old Smokey and Trigger. They’re both pretty gentle and they need a little exercise.”

“Yay, I wub Twigger. He’s my favowite!” Izzy B was so excited. I knew ridin’ Trigger would make her smile. Trigger was Sunshine’s momma. Izzy B missed her little pony so much. I thought maybe ridin’ Trigger would make her feel close to Sunshine again.
