Caleb's Blessing (12 page)

CALEB

Every time I touch her, I find something new to love about her. How can she not feel that, sense it? The boys are always teasing me these days that I’m worst than a lovesick cow, but she doesn’t see it.

It hurts like fuck that she’s been so hurt, that someone else got to her before I did and tried to put out her light before I even had a chance.

I was hoping that my love would be enough to get her over the past. I knew that given time she will no longer live under that cloud, but it wasn’t going to be as easy as I had first thought it seemed.

I’m a long way from being frustrated though, and every chance I get, I’m going to show her just how much I love her, until she has that ah-ha moment, like now.

I clasped the diamond necklace that had been in my family for almost a hundred years, around her neck. One day, I’ll tell her the love story behind the first man who’d had it made and the wife he’d loved more than anything in this world.

For now I took my time and unbuttoned her shirt, revealing her sun kissed skin bit by bit, like unwrapping the most precious of gifts. When she was dressed only in the necklace, I lifted both of her feet in my hands, spreading her thighs a little.

Starting at her instep, I made love first to one foot, before moving on to the other and making my way up her leg. By the time I reached her wet core she was writhing against the sheets in heat.

I teased her with the tip of my tongue, running it up and down her slit, sucking her swollen clit into my mouth and making love to it as I took her essence into me.

I didn’t stop eating her sweet pussy until she was moving against my tongue wildly and pulling on my hair to get me to come to her.

Licking my way up her middle, I took one of her nipples into my mouth just as I lined my cock up with her opening and slid in. Again that feeling of completeness shook me to my very soul.

“Please tell me you feel that baby, please tell me you love me more than you hate him, because if you don’t, you’re never going to feel what I feel right now.”

I didn’t mean to make her cry, but that’s exactly what happened. “I do feel it Caleb, I promise I do.” She tried catching my mouth with hers and I fed her my tongue, sharing her taste with her.

I took my time and made love to her as slow as my body would let me. It wasn’t easy going slow when my dick wanted to plunder, to conquer, but I did it, because it’s what she needed now.

If ever a man showed his love for his woman through touch, I was that man. Every touch was like butterfly wings, every word was whispered lovingly in her ear as I held her close, trying to get as deep inside her as I could.

“I love you. I love everything about you.” I touched her scars with my fingertips, and kissed those I could reach easily with my mouth.

I slipped out of her and kissed and sucked my way down her middle until I took her in my mouth once more, letting the taste of her wash right through me.

When she was limp and sobbing for release, then and only then did I slide back up her body, and into her.

“I want to give you my son.” I didn’t realize until I whispered those words in her ear just what an affect they would have on me.

All my good intentions went out the window. With the thoughts of fucking my kid into her filling my head and heart, I lifted her ass into me and fucked into her hard; I didn’t stop until I had pushed my way past her cervix.

“Shh, baby, sorry.” She screamed again when I eased out and back in; but the way she juiced all over my cock, I knew she had to be okay.

I fucked into her cervix with every stroke of my cock as I bit into her neck. She wrapped her legs and arms around me tight, making sure to keep me just where she wanted me.

When I emptied my seed inside her this time, I was pouring everything I had into her, my heart, my soul, and my dreams.

I had to inspect the overgrown kids before we left for my parents’ home that evening, to make sure everyone was dressed appropriately.

Mom doesn’t play when it comes to one of her shindigs and dress is a huge part of it for her. The boys were on their best behavior though, because they knew how important the evening was for my baby.

I’d already put a bug in their ear about how nervous she was so they knew what had to be done. “One of us will have eyes on her at all times. I’m going to try not to leave her side all evening, but you never know what the fuck, so you boys be ready to back me up.”

I gave them a few more instructions before it was almost time for her to come down the stairs and they left.

I was left to stand alone at the bottom of the stairs waiting for her, worrying about the evening ahead. There wasn’t much that could go wrong as far as I could tell, but I knew she was going to be on display this evening and so did she.

I had already made up my mind to boost her up as soon as she came downstairs, and was wracking my brain for all the right things to say, but when she eventually reached the top of the stairs, I forgot every last one of them.

My tongue and my dick went south. For a brief moment I had no words, couldn’t put two together if my life depended on it. It was only when she started fidgeting under my stare that I came out of whatever it was that I had gone under.

“Babe, I’m having second thoughts about this.” I tugged at my collar, which was suddenly too tight.

“Is something wrong, did something happen?” she started to hurry down the stairs.

“No baby, stay there, just one second more please.” She stepped back and looked down at me quizzically.

“Wait right there baby.” I went into the study where I was sure I had last seen the camera. My heart beat like a crazy drum in my chest and I had to wipe my suddenly sweaty palms on the legs of my tux to get them dry again.

I snapped more than a few pictures of her before placing the camera on a side- table. “Okay baby now you can come down, but do it slowly.”

She was smiling now because she was finally getting that the way she looked was making her man stupid, I’m sure all women like leaving their man speechless.

As soon as her feet landed in front of me I reached for her. “I’m not sure that I want to share you...” She placed her finger over my lips to shush me.

“You never have to.” Now who was reassuring whom here? “In case you missed all that or it went over your head, you look beyond amazing baby, and it’s not the dress or the jewelry either, it’s all you.”

And it was true; maybe taking her from behind in the shower had done more to relax her than I thought. Whatever the case, she was radiant, her eyes outshone her jewels they were so bright with excitement.

I couldn’t resist taking her mouth under mine even though I knew I would muss her up a little, but she didn’t even complain. I was more than a little bit tempted to take her back upstairs and say fuck it. Shit, we’d better get out of here before mom sent out a delegation after us.

“You ready tigress?” She nodded as I placed her arm through mine and led her outside to the waiting car. Mikey had wanted to get her a carriage, to make a grand entrance he said, but I figured that could wait for the wedding if she wanted to do something like that.

I held her hand the whole way there in the back of the limo, talking to her softly, never letting her forget how beautiful she was and how much I couldn’t wait for the night to be over so I could have her all to myself.

By the time we entered the melee she was so full of me that she didn’t have time to be afraid. Mom knew the deal and was on the ball from the go.

It looked as though she’d been standing at or near the door with her eyes peeled outside waiting for us. Either that or she had put one of her spies up to it.

“Hello Amanda and welcome, it’s nice to finally meet you after speaking to you on the phone.” She gave me a scolding look since I’d been the one to prevent her from coming out to the ranch. At least they’d talked on the phone so it wasn’t like I was trying to keep her to myself. Not much anyway.

“Thank you, you have a beautiful home.” Mom tried walking off with her but I kept hold of her hand. “Caleb the guys are over there holding up the wall and scaring my guests away with their faces, can you please go make them stop?”

I looked over to where the boys were standing together on the far wall with their usual faces on. They hate parties for all the reasons they’d noted earlier, but they would never disappoint mom no matter what they said.

“They’re fine, where’re you taking her?”

“Caleb you grew up in this house, do you remember ever seeing a torture chamber in it?”

“A what?” I stopped short and looked over Amanda’s head at my infuriating mother.

“You’re acting as though you think I’m going to drag her off somewhere and tie her to the wall with chains.”

“I’m acting like a man who’s staying by his woman’s side because this is unfamiliar territory for her. Now where are we going?”

“I was going to introduce her around but I guess we can do that later.” She sniffed at me but I didn’t care. I’d made a promise and I aim to keep it.

Dad was next on the list and I came damn close to breaking his arm the old flirt. “Well now Marjorie who’s this bright little blossom?” I’m pretty sure he knew exactly who she was, but if he thought I wouldn’t kick his old ass for ogling my girl he had another think coming.

“Colin behave; you know very well that this is our new daughter in law, Amanda.”

“My sons have their daddy’s taste in women and horse flesh, let me see your teeth girl.” I was about to elbow his ass but Amanda stopped me with her laughter. She actually got the old goat.

“Well now, things ought to be fun around here.” He gave me a look that I understood only too well.

“Speaking of which where’s Drake and Diane?”

“Oh you know your sister in law likes to make an entrance, I’m sure they’ll be here soon. Now Colin unhand my daughter in law and let me go introduce her to the ladies.”

“Marjorie I’m quite sure she doesn’t want to meet those old biddies, do you child? See she wants to stay with me. Hey do you like spirits?”

“Dad.”

“What I’m just asking.”

“Give her here both of you and go tend to your guests you can introduce her around later.”

“Okay but I get the second dance son.” That’s what he thinks. I walked her over to the guys who acted like proud uncles or a younger brother in Mikey’s case.

“You cleaned up real well Ms. Amanda.”

“Thanks Jonah you boys look very handsome tonight. Jonah I saw Ms. Millie over there when we came in; did you say hi?”

“Don’t you start too, Caleb’s mama already wrung my ears with her mess, bad enough I gotta wear this contraption....” He mumbled something else under his breath as he pulled at his collar.

I should’ve known that I couldn’t keep her to myself for too long. Before you knew it people were coming up to me under one pretense or another, but I knew their game since every last one of them had their eyes glued to her.

By the third time a male checked her out too closely, I removed my jacket and put it around her shoulders. She only spared me one knowing glance but didn’t protest, which was good because it wouldn’t have mattered.

This of course caused my own personal peanut gallery to snicker like little old women. “Can’t you fucks find someone to dance with?” As was usual, all of the single women were sizing them up and more than a few of them were giving me looks like I’d done something horrible by taking myself off the market.

“You ready for a glass of champagne now baby?” I was pacing her but she didn’t know it. That’s why I hadn’t let mom introduce her around as soon as we got here. I wanted her to enjoy her evening and throwing her to the wolves as soon as we got here wasn’t part of the program.

“I’d love one thanks, but Caleb I can only have maybe one and a half.” Her face went beet red. “Why is that sugar?” I was walking her away as we spoke.

“Um, I tend to say a lot when I’ve had too much champagne.”

“Say a lot?”

“You know, be a little more honest than is sometimes good.”

“Oh I see, not to worry.” Like hell! I signaled one of the servers and had the first glass in her hand before she could blink.

When she was halfway through I saw my brother and his wife enter. Drake saw us and made a beeline towards us, while Diane did her thing where she waits for all eyes to be on her. The only one missing now was my little sister and she was gallivanting all over Europe for another couple of weeks.

“Good evening Amanda, you look amazing. I won’t ask how you’re doing, I can see for myself. Congratulations, to both of you.” He kissed her cheek and I pulled her back under my arm.

“Geez bro, it’s just me.”

“Yeah I know.” I rolled my eyes at him, like he was any better. Diane finally made her way over to us after accepting all the praise that was to be had.

“Well hello everyone, why Amanda don’t you look smashing tonight, but what’s with the ugly men’s jacket?” she turned up her nose.

Drake started to scold her for the crack about the jacket but I stopped him. “She’s wearing my jacket because I find I don’t like the eyes of every man here on her.”
