He looked up at me, nostrils flaring and lips pursed tightly. “I just feel it. I feel as if you’re carrying my daughter.”
There was a subdued tone to his voice as if a sudden rush of sadness had overcome him. Resting my hand on his leg, I took a seat next to him on the couch, then lowered my head to try and come eye to eye with him.
“There’s something more to this. Why don’t you tell me what it is?”
“It’s not the time, Cassie. It’s Christmas, and we’re engaged. We should be celebrating.”
“Well, that’s been shot to hell, so speak up. Tell me what’s on your mind. I hate that my mom showed up here. Last thing I wanted.”
His eyes flashed over to me, life perking up in them as we finally connected. “I feel like a fucking dick, but your mom doesn’t deserve a second of your time, Cassie. She’s a rotten fucking individual and deserves nothing. You shouldn’t accommodate her ass.”
“I never said I was giving her anything, Alex.”
“But you were there, hearing her out…”
“No. I asked questions.”
“It doesn’t matter. The longer she stood there, the more I wished the roles were reversed. Fuck your mom.” There was a hint of sadness in his voice.
“Alex, look at me.” He didn’t look up right away. “Look at me! What do you mean you wanted the roles reversed?”
Alex stood abruptly, briskly running his hand over his face and head. “Cassie. It’s bad enough that I have no regrets for even thinking it. Don’t make me say it.”
“I can’t read your mind, Alex.”
“Your fucking mom. I wish she was fucking gone, and my mom were still here. Your mom celebrated when she lost a grandchild, but my mom squeezed our hands and showed her approval in her last fucking moments on earth. Your mom has done nothing but tear you down, but mine would want nothing more than to build us up. I hate your fucking mom because she’s a rotten person.
“Our daughter was robbed of a phenomenal grandmother and is stuck with a piece of shit one. I see nothing when I look at the woman. I wish the fucking roles were reversed, Cassie. Your mom should be in a fucking box in the ground.”
Shock overtook me. I had no idea that Alex had been feeling all of that, and his body language as he finished speaking broke my heart, making me realize that he was still hurting deeply. I reached out, taking his arm and pulling him to me. We stood in silence, the only sounds coming from Alex breathing hard into the hollow where my shoulder met my neck. I loved this man so much, and yet I had no clue what to do to ease his pain, to make him feel whole again.
“Alex, I love you. I don’t really know what to say because I feel like I lost my mom a long time ago.”
“But you see, Blondie, you haven’t. No matter what, that piece of shit woman is still here, and I will never see my mom’s face again. I will never hold her…never speak to her. I’ve lost the first woman I ever loved, and seeing your mom drives that hurt and animosity deeper inside of me.”
“I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t hate me. I’ve told you I’m going to fuck up, and I know I did today, but everything I felt came out, and goddammit it felt good.”
I laughed. He was so concerned with me and my reaction to him that it was making him a tad bit paranoid. “Let’s see…I have your ring on my finger and your baby in my belly. Even if I did hate you, I don’t think it would last too long.”
He pulled me in and his lips met mine with passion and intensity as his hand fisted through my hair. Alex was hurting, and I was the only thing that would ease that hurt. I relished my role. Whatever he needed, I was happy to provide.
“I love you, Blondie. I love you more than anything on this fucking planet.”
I nodded. “Do what you need, Alex. I’m yours. I’m at your disposal.”
Without another word spoken, Alex lifted me from my feet and carried me off to our bedroom where he gently laid me down on the bed before undressing and having his way with me.
Chapter 23
Alex
It had become apparent that Cassie knew me better than I knew myself. She was able to peer into me, pull out of me what I felt was better suppressed. As awful as it was wishing death on her mom, I felt better getting it out. It didn’t make me feel completely better, but it was weight off my shoulders, and that was definitely welcomed.
Laying her down and undressing her, I took in her beautiful and growing form. There was a small and growing bump, highlighting what we had been able to create together. My hands were drawn to it, gently running over the bump and feeling the love of the little one that I had yet to meet.
“I’m so fucking lucky to have you, Blondie. You have no idea.” I removed my shirt, then unfastened my pants, pulling them and my boxer briefs down in one quick swoop. Cassie’s eyes shut, her mouth opening ever so slightly as I worked my hands up her thighs and into the hem of her lacy panties. “You know how to make me happy, don’t you?”
She nodded her head, then reached out for me, latching onto my head and pulling me down towards her warm and deliciously moist center. I couldn’t wait to get back inside of her, but first things first, I had to get her good and worked up, making sure that when I got inside she’d crumble from the feel of it alone. It had been a while since Cassie had been interested in sex, and the excitement that filled me at the moment left me fearful that I wouldn’t last long when I finally got the chance to get back inside.
I worked her panties down her leg, then kissed my way back up. Her scent filled my senses, making my cock jump in excitement. I saw Cassie’s perfectly pink center and my tongue dived in. Cassie’s legs buckled at my intrusion, a shrill scream filling the room as I held tight. My tongue licked and swirled around to taste every inch of her. She tasted just as delicious as before, even more so since there was a distinct difference about her. There was no meal on earth more fulfilling or satisfying that what I had at the moment.
I swirled my tongue inside, pulling back occasionally and sucking her sweet juices as they began to flow. Her legs began to tremble, signaling her release was near, but there was no way that I wanted her coming without me buried deep inside of her. I moved to my knees, then held her legs open and pulled her towards me.
“Time to make you come undone, Blondie.”
She didn’t respond, instead shutting her eyes and biting down forcefully on her bottom lip. I slid into her, blowing out a long, hard breath as I settled in. The tight fit of her pussy, her walls clenching down on me, sent shock waves coursing through my body. I wasn’t sure how long I’d last, but that didn’t matter. I needed her, and thankfully, she was there…all mine for the taking.
Holding her thighs in my hands, I rocked her to and fro, giving my cock the satisfaction it had been craving for too long. Cassie was the cure for everything wrong in my world, and the physical closeness of me deep inside of her solidified that. Her hands gripped her hair, fisting tightly as her head began to thrash side to side. Her soft moans grew to harsh, laboring pants. She shouted a few orders and demands, making me pick up the pace and work her into a frenzy.
I dug deeper, feeling like I could reach the depths of this beautiful girl and it still wouldn’t be enough. Droplets of sweat filled my hands, causing to me to lose my grip on her thighs, but I readjusted, then pounded harder and deeper into her until the trembling could be felt in my own body. I bit down on my own lip, feeling the coming explosion beginning to take over.
“Come for me, Blondie. I’m coming!”
In almost perfect unison, Cassie and I cried out our release, coming undone together. I stilled, filling her with a violent release that left me completely spent. Careful of her belly, I leaned down and kissed her before falling to her side.
