Part of the Temptations series. Follows Breathless Surrender
Chris woke up swinging as freezing cold water was thrown on him. He moved to grab his gun, only to realize it wasn’t beside him where he normally put it when he slept but on the table across the room.
"Not real smart keeping your gun out of arms reach." Vin said with a smirk easily avoiding Chris’s fist.
"You must have been having quite a dream," Josiah gestured to his naked and aroused state.
Chris looked confused. He was sure he hadn’t of been alone but his head hurt to much to think straight.
"Get dressed! The Grissom gang robbed the bank in West Eagle and are headed this way." Vin then added, "Unless you want to be alone with yourself..."
Vin laughed as Chris threw a empty bottle at him letting in hit the wall behind him.
"Grissom gang?" Chris asked bewildered as Josiah tossed him his pants.
"Yeah. You run into them before?" Vin asked.
"No just heard the name recently," Chris said trying to clear his head.
Chris got dressed as Vin and Josiah went to saddle his horse. Chris looked in the mirror thinking he needed to get him a shave while he was in town. That’s when he noticed the small red mark on his shoulder. Suddenly everything rushed back to him.
"Casey," he whispered. His body responding to the memory of her touch.
The thought of Casey was driving him wild. When had she grown into such a beautiful voluptuous woman. Chris couldn’t believe her boys clothes concealed such lovely curves. He smiled remembering how he explored those lovely curves. He couldn’t believe he nearly took her innocence.
His hands tingled from touching her and he could still taste her on his lips. He had rarely used his mouth on a woman but with Casey that was all he wanted to do. Her lingering scent was driving him crazy. He hungered to taste her again and ached to touch her.
He knew he had to stay away from her. He didn’t know if he could be in the same room as Casey and not be touching her. The need to see her long dark hair spread wildly over his pillow was consuming him.+ + + + + + +
Chris watched the dust settle as his fellow peacekeepers stepped out into the street. Chris was relieved to see that all of them were accounted for. Three of the five Grissom gang including Grant Grissom himself lay motionless on the street. The other two were in no position to cause trouble.
Chris noticed Vin limping. Chris leveled his silent glare at him.
"I’m fine. Just banged up my leg some," Vin said as Nathan checked him over.
"It don’t look broke but you should keep off it for a few days."
"Sure, I’ll put it up after I come back from patrol."
"That means no riding!" Nathan said sternly.
"Do as he says Vin. I’ll take your patrol," Chris told him. A long hard ride was just what he needed before he apologized to Casey.
"Fine but I promised Nettie I would check on Casey since she’s going to be out of town for a couple of days," Vin complained not noticing the look of dismay on Chris’s face.
"Chris can check on her. Now lets get you off that leg," Nathan answered for Chris before leading Vin to the saloon with the others.
Chris was glad he didn’t need to speak. He didn’t trust his voice. Casey was alone. Visions both real and imagined filled his head.
‘This was going to be a long night,’ Chris thought to himself before joining the others in the saloon. He shocked everyone by only having one shot of whiskey which he left mostly untouched.+ + + + + + +
Casey was nervous. She knew Vin would be able to tell something was different about her. Vin was like a brother to her and he always knew when something was wrong. She didn’t know if what she had done was wrong since it had felt so right.
Even though she bathed and had sometime to get her body under control she still felt breathless. She still could feel Chris’s hands and mouth on her. Her body burned from his touch. She could still feel his mouth between her legs.
Casey shivered as she felt her body tingle just at the memory of his touch. Casey regretted having invited Vin to dinner. She thought she would be lonely without Nettie here. All she wanted to do was enjoy the memory of Chris’s touch.
Casey finished making her dumplings when she heard a knock on the door. Casey opened the door and was stunned when she saw Chris standing there.
Casey wasn’t prepared for the shock of seeing Chris again so soon. She just stood there with her eyes wide open and she even forgot to breathe. She was hoping she could avoid him until she got a hold of herself.
"We need to talk," Chris said walking in without being invited.
Casey closed the door and took a deep breath before turning to face him. He had shaved and bathed since she last seen him. He was absolutely gorgeous. Her hands ached from wanting to touch him.
"Are you hungry?" Casey started to serve dinner when Chris’s hand stopped her. She looked into his eyes and all thought was lost.
"Starving," He said before pulling her into his arms. His intention of apologizing for his behavior ignored and forgotten as her body melted against him effortlessly.
Chris couldn’t stop kissing her. Twice he nearly was able to pull away before she overwhelmed his senses once again. Soon their clothes were on the floor as they explored each others body. Chris desperately needed to taste her again. Her scent had been haunting him.
"I can't trust myself around you," Chris said to Casey staring into her beautiful eyes.
He loved her eyes. They were a beautiful deep rich midnight blue. He had always thought that they were dark brown but now that he got a closer look they were blue. . So dark they were almost black. When she smiled her face lit up. Her eyes got brighter and Chris felt warm his heart just to see it.
"Yeah, neither can I." She said stepping in for another kiss.
Chris lifted her into his arms and carried her to her bedroom and lay her down on the bed. Chris lay beside her kissing her, trying to memorize everything about her. His hands cupped her breasts. He thought her perfect. Round and full with perky nipples just begging to be touched.
The two lovers were inflamed, desire ruling out any chance for reason. Chris had to taste her since that was all he could think about all day. He lay on the bed and had her kneel over him so he could reach every inch of her. He slipped his tongue into her warm, moist folds. two fingers slipped inside her exploring her depth. He could feel her maidenhead preventing him from going deeper so he replaced his fingers with his tongue.
Casey lay on top of Chris with her head on his thigh as he pleasured her with his mouth. She watched as his sex got longer and thicker. Wanting to touch him again she wrapped her hand around him. She felt him shudder with pleasure so she held him tightly and ran her tongue over the moist tip. She smiled as she saw him grow larger and could feel his breath hot against her already heated flesh.
She moaned as Chris seemed to be devouring her in response to her experimental licks. Casey licked and kissed Chris’s length causing him to moan and shiver. She slipped him into her mouth and slowly worked her head up and down. As her movements increased his excitement she grew bolder.
Casey felt Chris pull her sensitive numb into his mouth as she took Chris fully into her mouth and kept in time to his tongue probing her entrance. Chris thrust his hips sliding himself in and out of her mouth. Casey nearly had him down her throat as she felt a huge wave of pleasure.
Chris moaned in shocked pleasure at feeling himself go down her throat as she rode the wave of her climax and Chris was unable to control himself. Casey barely caught her breath before Chris emptied his seed in her mouth and she instinctively swallowed.
Casey turned around licking her lips and Chris pulled her to him for a deep soulful kiss.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Casey said with a impish grin.
Casey squealed as Chris climbed on top of her and tickled her ribs. They both laughed when Chris’s stomach rumbled.
"Hungry?" Casey said after catching her breath delighted to see him so playful.
"Yeah, I could eat." Chris pulled her to her feet and refused to let her get dressed.
"No I need to see you." Chris said in a low husky tone that Casey could not ignore.
Casey dished their supper but Chris insisted she sit on his lap. He brought a spoonful to her lips and watched as she slowly cleaned of the spoon looking boldly into his eyes. Then she would do the same to him. She couldn’t take her eyes of that crooked smile and clever tongue. A flash of desire swept through her as she remembered what he had done to her with them.
They shared a passionate kiss after each spoonful. Casey thought she should feel uncomfortable sitting in a man’s lap completely naked. yet some how it felt right. It was as if she and Chris had been together for years. The food had grown cold by the time the two lovers had enough food in them to sustain them.
Chris felt something he was certain he would never feel again. Had gone out of his way to make sure he wouldn’t. He had pushed away anyone who had the slightest chance of making him fall in love again. Mary had been trying to get him since he came to town. Once she had even thrown herself at him. He knew she was trying to trick him into marrying her.
He had never gotten the chance to with Casey. He never thought he needed to until today. She had always been a young girl to him. He had also considered her JD’s despite the fact that they had stopped seeing each other the year before. He thought she was pretty and would make a good match for JD when he settled down.
He usually preferred his women to have more experience. Although he has had a virgin or two they were usually more trouble then it was worth. Especially when visiting a brothel could take care of his needs. How Casey could so easily slip beneath his defences and make him feel again was miraclous. Chris knew he wouldn’t be able to push Casey away. She had gotten under his skin so quickly and thoroughly.
Not even a day had gone by and he was thinking marriage. It had taken Sara’s father catching Chris making love to his daughter to get him to agree to marry. Particularly since the other option was getting his head filled with lead. Chris didn’t really mind it had been a shot gun wedding since she had come to mean a lot to him. Especially after Adam was born.
Now here he was without a gun to his head and he knew nothing would keep him from this amazing woman in his arms. That he would willingly get married was beyond belief. Chris had no doubts about wanting Casey to marry him.
Casey was currently kissing his neck making it difficult to think straight. Her hands tenderly caressing his back.
"Casey," Chris looked her in the eye loving the endearing smile she gave him. He knew that this was right. "I want to ask you something."
"Mmmm, Yes, Chris?" Casey said leaning in to kiss his neck again.
"Damn, its difficult to think when you do that." Chris reluctantly pulled her away.
"Why do you need to think?" Casey pouted.
"Because I want to ask you to marry me." Chris stated and watched as his question sunk in.
"OK."
"OK, what?"
"Ask me?" Casey smiled softly at him.
"Will you marry me?"
"Yes," Casey sighed in pleasure as claimed her lips for a intense passionate kiss.
Chris had intended to try to wait for their wedding night before finally claiming her innocence. He just couldn’t wait. He was just beginning to comprehend that when it came to touching her his intentions would never be honorable. He wondered how fast Josiah could marry them.END
