Secrets (Codey #1) (5 page)

She claims to have always wanted a daughter and that she had no one to go shopping with. Cassandra felt obligated to go with her. Mrs. Codey made her do all sorts of girly things. Like manicures, pedicures and facials among all sorts of other tortures.

She even went as far as to let the woman talk her into getting a haircut. Now, instead of one dress in her closet, there were close to a dozen. That’s not including all the skirts she now owned. Yet Cassandra only wore them on weekends when she went out with Mike. There was no way she was going to stop wearing her jeans and t-shirts during the week. They seem to make Mike happy as much as they made her comfortable.

When Mike pulled up at 7:30. She was ready and waiting. When Casey opened the door, he was standing there in all his glory. Mike wore a white button down shirt and black jeans under a black long duster coat. It reminded her of the coat that Clint Eastwood wore in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. The outfit was topped off with a pair of black boots and his black Stetson hat; he truly was her super-hot cowboy.

Her knees went weak just from looking at him. When Mike realized she was checking him out, he smirked. “Like what you see?” His chuckle made Cassandra blush. “I love it when your cheeks turn that beautiful shade of red. Now come here and kiss me.”

She sighed after the panty melting kiss he scorched her with. “How can you miss me? We were together all morning.” He kissed the tip of her nose before straightening.

“Do you realize, it’s been 11 hours 32 minutes and.” He stopped talking to check his watch. “Five seconds since I last kissed you.” How the hell was she supposed to keep from swooning?

“So where are we going tonight, young Mike Codey?” Cassandra asked as they made their way to his truck. All he would tell her was that special plans had been made to celebrate their nine month anniversary. She wondered once more why he would want to celebrate this particular month.

“Surprise.” He said as he got closer to the clubhouse. Casandra turned to look at him but he was already getting out of the Truck. He walked around to open the door for her. “The surprises are just starting.” When he opened the door to the house, she gasped. The room was filled with roses and candles. They were everywhere.

His face flushed and a shy smile stretched his lips. “Today is our nine month anniversary. Yet did you also remember, seven years ago today. You fell into my life.”

Casandra couldn’t help the glare she shot him. “It was more like you slammed into my life. You hit me with your bike.”

Mike chuckled, “aren’t you ever going to forgive me for that?”

She smiled at the memory. “I shouldn’t, but the fact that you did all this and still remembered the first day we met. Now that, makes up for everything.” Casandra walked up to him. Then raised her hands to pull his face down for a kiss. “You Mike Codey, are a sweet man.”

They sat down and had the dinner Deloris had made them. The conversation revolved around them and their future. They talked about everything they wanted out of life. After dinner they went and relaxed on the couch.

“I think I love you more each day.” Cassandra said and he bent his head and kissed her. The kiss became intense very fast. Like all the other times. It seemed like every time they touched, a fire engulfed them. He bent her backwards and she was now trapped under him. Casey could feel the heat of his arousal as it pressed firmly at the juncture of her thighs. He watched her face as he ground his hips against hers.

Her eyes glazed over and a plea of more was uttered by her. She frowned when he shook his head no. So she rotated her hips, causing him to curse. His mouth lowered for another scorching kiss. This time his tongue mimicked the erotic motion of their bodies. When she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. Mike lifted her up.

“Are you sure?” A look of concern marred his features. Yet she had no idea why.

“I’ve never been more certain of anything in my whole entire life, Mike Codey. Please make me yours. Make love to me.” In silence he carried her to the bedroom. He had no time to even open the door, so he kicked it open.

“I can’t wait to see how you explain that.”

Her laughter was cut off when he fell with her on the bed. “I could care less about a damn door that was getting in the way of me and my woman.” Casey looked up at the fire in his eyes. She thanked the powers that be for picking the dress that wrapped around her body. For the sound he made when he pulled the knot open was primal. He growled when he saw the lacy red panties and bra she wore.

“You’re perfect.” He said through clenched teeth.  Yet his eyes never left her breasts.

Casey reached up and flicked the front clasp open. “I’m not, but you make me feel like I am. Are they too big?” He never answered her question. Once the shock of seeing her breasts wore off. Mikes head descended onto one of her globes. She arched when he took her nipple into his mouth.

“Holy hell.” What the man was doing to her was sinful.

“So fucking perfect. I can’t even get it all in my mouth.” Mike groaned as he tried again with her other breast. Casey was mesmerized seeing and feeling the way he worshipped her body. His sucking intensified, that was when she realized he was marking her breasts with love bites.

Mike kissed a trail down her belly and Casey had the urge to cover the little pouch on her abdomen. He just bit at her hands so she moved them back. “I’ll buy you a new pair.” He said making Casey frown in confusion. Until he gripped her thong and snapped it off.

Her mouth opened in shock and she was about to let him have it when his head lowered and he. “Oh damn, what the. Oh, oh, oh fuck.” Casey was unable to form a coherent sentence. 

“Oh fuck is right.” Mike said raising his head to look at her. Then he lowered it again as he parted her folds with his fingers. “So fucking delicious.” His tongue laved at her folds and into her entrance. She could think of nothing but what this sinful man was doing to her body.

“Oh stop, stop.” He lifted his head and she fisted her hands in his hair and pushed his face down just as she lifted her pelvis to meet his mouth. “Don’t stop, don’t stop.” She panted as he found the little tight nerve. He chuckled and the vibration nearly sent her over the edge.

“Oh Mike, This is so, so.” She smacked the top of his head with her hand. That made him look up. “Why haven’t we been doing this all the time?” He laughed once more before returning to the spot that made her moan. Mike picked up the flicking movement and when he inserted a finger into her. She went off like a rocket.

At that point, she lost control of her body as a feeling of who knows what took over. Casey was aware of nothing but his relentless tongue and finger.   She came back to earth when the feeling was replaced with pain. “That hurts.”

“I know baby, it will only hurt for a little bit.” Mike cooed as his head lowered to her breast once more. She liked that feeling a hell of a lot better than the pain, her body relaxed. She felt the moment he entered her completely.

“Son of a bitch.” She screamed and he covered her mouth with his just as he started to move inside of her. She was ready to bite his tongue off and he must have sensed it because he pulled back.

“Don’t do it Casey.”

“It hurt.” She sniffled.

“I know, and for that, I’m sorry. That’s the only and last pain I’ll ever give you.” Mike told her as he licked the tears that had fallen down her cheek. She looked at him in awe. For her anger had been replaced by the heat that was building as he moved in and out of her. It still burned, but there was something there, a deep itch that he seemed to be making better the more he moved in and out of her.

“Can you feel me pulsing inside of you?” She nodded yes. “You’re so fucking tight. You’re choking me, every time you tighten around me.” His words only made her tighten again. He grunted and she liked knowing she made him feel that way.

“I don’t think I can last much longer.” She loved seeing how his veins bulged as he tried to hold off. Then she felt his finger start to rub her bundle of nerves again. “I’m not finishing until you do.” She closed her eyes from the on slaughter of emotions. “That’s it baby feel my cock throbbing inside you. Feel my fingers rubbing your little pleasure point. Or would you rather I suck your nipple into my mouth too.”

He did just as he said. The combination of words and actions sent her over one more time. Yet this time, it was more glorious than the first. Through her haze, she heard him reach his special place too. “So fucking perfect. So fucking wet. So fucking mine.” Mike groaned his release.

Chapter Six

When Casey woke the next morning, Mike was half on her. One arm was cupping a breast and his leg was over her thigh. “Well, so much for waiting to make love until I was married.” The smile on her face left no doubt that she regretted nothing. Until clarity finally hit. “Holy shit, we didn’t use a condom!”

Her words had Mike opening his eyes. Casey was frowning down at him. “I’m sorry. With the way things happened. It was the last thing on my mind.” After wrapping his hands around her waist he pulled her back down and nuzzled her neck. “What’s the worst that can happen? We have a baby and get married sooner, rather than later.”

Cassandra glared but Mike just smiled. “I can picture it. A little boy, with my good looks. Or a little girl, with your bad temper.”

Mike moved down and kissed her stomach. Casey smacked him in the arm. “Be serious.”

After crawling back up her body his eyes met hers. “I’m dead serious.” Once again, his hand found her belly. “If there’s a chance we created life last night. I would be the happiest man in the world. If we didn’t, then our plans will go on as before. We get married after you finish with your career. Then we’ll have lots of babies.”

Cassandra smiled at him. “We’ll have to use protection next time.” The thought of next time had Mikes smile widening.

“Since we didn’t use one last night, one last time will not make a difference.”

They eventually made it to where Leo and Luis were waiting for them. It was life as normal, but Mike and Casey felt anything but normal. After morning chores they went riding. They talked about their future plans as a group.

Leo wanted to be a veterinarian. This way he could take care of the cattle. They were already looking for a location for him, so he could set up a clinic. That would allow him to also service the surrounding farms. He was still hot and heavy with Mindy and she was planning on being the Vet tech. The whole University thing was not for her. So it will work out great for them.

Luis on the other hand, is thinking about joining their dad in the oil business. A little over eight years ago, they did a survey on the land and found oil. So their father had been working on that part of the business. It made sense for Luis to work with their father since someday he will be in charge of it. Mike was taking over the farm portion.

Well, He and Casey were taking over the farm once they got married. The thought had him turning to smile at her. She wants to breed Mustangs and other horse breeds. So the future included an expansion of the farm.

The thought of the future filled him with adrenalin. So he turned to all of them and yelled. “Last one to the barn, unsaddles the horses.” Just before he took off.

His plan back fired. Casey was the last one and he had to help her unsaddle the horses. She was angry with him, but after he flung her over his shoulder and carried her to the top loft of the barn. “Every time you get angry, all I want to do is kiss your pouty mouth.”

He unsnapped the buttons on her shirt and Casey forgave him by the time they made it down.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Things were going great and Casey fell more in love with Mike as the days flew by. She went every day before school to help them with the ranch. Luis was busy after school with his father. Casey had yet to meet the man, but understood work waited for no one. Casey spent a great deal of time with Mrs. Codey and found she enjoyed her company.

Now, it was the day before graduation and a week before she turned 19. Yet her excitement came from knowing her best friend Lucy was coming to visit in two weeks. She was the only person besides her grandmother that she kept in touch with. They talked to each other once a week and she would see her on the occasions her mother had taken her to see her grandmother.

Lucy had even been to visit her in Texas three times in the last eight years. Casey loved when she visited. Well to be honest, she loved the way Luis and Lucy fought when she came. Casey thought Luis liked her, but Lucy thought he was to full of himself.

“Hey Casey, is Lucy coming to our graduation?” Luis asked before making a face.

She tossed a fry his way. “She’s graduating too, remember.”

She rolled her eyes as they all take a seat at the table. Leo was there with Mindy and Luis had brought his flavor of the day. Casey had noticed he had a pattern. Just before Lucy visited, he stopped dating seriously. Well, to him one month was serious.

The stress of all the finally had finally gotten to her, and her mother hadn’t been heard from in two weeks. Would she make it back for graduation? Casey felt the queasy feeling again from all the worrying. Mindy turned her head. “Casey, go with me to the bathroom.” Why couldn’t she go alone? Women always had a tendency to travel in packs whenever needing to pee.

“Give me a tampon.”

Great, now she was expected to provide crap for them too. “I don’t have any in my bag, sorry.”

“Why? We’re always on it at the same time.”

“I know, but all this stress has set me back. I didn’t get it last month either.” Mindy exited the stall wearing a weird look on her face. “What’s wrong?”

“What do you mean what’s wrong? You’re wrong.” Her eyes dropped to Casey’s stomach.

“No, are you crazy.” She back up and her hands automatically touched her stomach.

“Hey, you were the one who said you didn’t use protection the first time.” Casey started to feel bile rising up her throat. Thank goodness she made it to the bathroom.

“I think we should skip last period and go to the pharmacy.” The look on Mindy’s face said she would not take no for an answer.

True to her word. Mindy went with Casey to the pharmacy where they picked up three tests and two bottles of water. On the ride home, she drank one bottle of water. She really needed to pee it was easy to take the tests. Now all three sticks were lined on the counter. They laid on the bed waiting for the dreaded minutes to tick by.

Mindy rubbed her back as they waited. When the alarm on the night stand went off, Mindy was the one who went in search of the results. Casey was ready to flip and just couldn’t do it. When Mindy emerged, she wore a big grin and blew out a breath. “Looks like I’m going to be an aunt.”

Casey ran to the bathroom and sure enough, all three tests were positive. “What the hell am I going to do now?” She turned to her friend. “Stop smiling.”

“You, stop stressing. Hold off on telling Mike until tomorrow. I guarantee you, he’ll be the happiest man on this earth.” Mindy reassured her with a big hug. “Then, you guys can get married and live happily ever after. Just don’t make me wear an ugly bridesmaid dress.”

“Why would you thinks things would be that simple? It can’t be, can it?” Her friend just nodded yes with the same goofy smile on her face.

After Mindy left Casey went to the full length mirror and pulled up her shirt. “I can't picture my stomach bulging.” So she walked to the bed and picked up a pillow. After putting it under the shirt, she went back to standing in front of the mirror. “Hmm, this helps me picture it a little more. It’s just too weird to even believe.

After taking a shower, she called Mike and told him to pick her up tomorrow. Mindy suggested not to say anything until after their graduation. Sleep came sooner than later, the emotions of the day had taken their toll.
