Unexpected Expectations by Dreamer

Author's Note: Thanks to everyone who reviewed my other stories. Sure makes me write faster.

Casey stood beside Vin Tanner filled with dread. Bounty hunters had used her to get Vin to cooperate in returning to Texas. She couldn’t bare the thought of him hanging when he was innocent.

Vin stood before the court resigned to the fact that without any proof of his innocence he would soon be swinging from a rope. He only hoped Chris would get here in time to say good bye. He barely felt Casey’s death grip on his hand. As if she held tight enough she could protect him.

“All rise for Judge Mentday.” After silencing the few chuckles at his name the judge got down to business.

“Vin Tanner, says here you’ve been acting as law for a town for three years. Is that correct?”

“Yes, Sir,” Vin answered.

“Not very smart for a wanted man.”

“He’s innocent!” Casey yelled.

“Order! Order in the court.” Casey settled down when the judge threatened to put her in jail for disrupting his court.

“This your wife?” the judge asked.

“No, Sir. She’s my friend.”

“I see.” The judge frowned and took notes. “So are you guilty or innocent as the lady bellowed.

Casey silently huffed at the remark as Vin explained how Eli Joe had tricked him and how his death had ended his chance of clearing his name.

“Eli Joe! I am getting sick of hearing that name. You are the eleventh person in my court he set up. All right enough of this nonsense! Case dismissed.” The Judge banged the gavel down harder then necessary.

Vin’s jaw dropped open in shock as Casey gave hi m a huge hug. Of all things that was the last thing he expected. It was over. He was free.

“Just a second. Johnny will have some papers for you to sign. Miss, what is your name?”

“Casey Wells, Sir,” Casey said happily still holding on to Vin.

“Do you have any family here abouts.”

“No, Sir. Just my Aunt in Four Corners.”

“Mr. Tanner, will you be escorting her back home?”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Friend or not, I don’t approve of young ladies traveling alone all that way unless she is with her husband or kin. Vin Tanner I proclaim you married to Casey Wells. As a wedding gift I’ll wave the ten dollar fee. You may now kiss your bride.” With that he got up and left.

Casey and Vin stared at the judge as he got up and left the saloon turned courtroom.

“We're married? Don’t we need to say I do or something?” Casey asked confused letting her hand drop from his arm.

“Not in Judge Mentday’s court room. He is very ridged in his beliefs and imposes them with out a thought but he’s as honest as they come.” Johnny handed Vin some papers to sign then handed one to Casey.

“You’re luckier than most,” Johnny winked at Vin giving Casey a veiled leer despite her men’s attire she had on.

Vin felt like his whole world had just spun around him like a child’s toy. He finally got his name cleared and got married instead. Vin looked at Casey as if he saw her for the first time.

Casey grew in to a beautiful woman. Although her boyish clothes seemed to hide the curves unless you looked closely as Vin was doing now. Vin noticed with a blush that her shirt was stretched tight across her chest where her breasts strained against the material.

Her jacket was usually buttoned but the heat of midday sun made the saloon hot and stuffy. Vin couldn’t stop thinking about her breasts even as his eyes skimmed over her flat stomach and long legs.

Vin knew it was going to be along trip back to four corners.

+ + + + + + +

Vin and Casey bought supplies and heade d out almost immediately. The sooner they got back the better. They started out with a relaxed pace with Vin pointing out various items of interest.

They stopped the first night by a stream. The stream curled in on itself creating a nice pool which to bath or swim.

Casey couldn’t believe that she was now married to Vin Tanner. It was a shock and surprise but she wasn’t unhappy about it. She could be a great wife but she didn’t even know if he wanted her.

Casey had a huge crush on Vin for years. She never in her wildest dreams thought anything would come of it. She enjoyed their friendship. They had an easy relationship and she felt she could tell him anything. Except that she was in love with him.

Casey was practical. Having a man like Vin Tanner love you was like winning the moon and the stars and she just wasn’t that lucky. Now that they were married she hoped it would change.

JD and Casey’s relationship was more friendship rather than romantic. Everyone thought they would get married eventually but Casey didn’t think so. JD had taken to carousing with Buck and it was when she smelled a woman’s perfume on JD she realized they would never be together.

It wasn’t that she was hurt or jealous. It was more that she wasn’t. She still enjoyed their time together but both of them knew it wasn’t love. That didn’t mean that JD wasn’t close to her. She thought of him as her best friend. He even knew she had a crush on Vin. He too didn’t think anything would come of it.

“There’s a shallow inlet behind those trees,” Vin told her so she could wash up with privacy. “I’ll be here if you need me.”

Casey thanked him and grabbed some soap and extra clothes. It had been a long time since she last had a bath. She was feeling ripe plus she was sure she wasn’t smelling like roses.

Vin told himself that he was just going to make sure she was all ri ght. She was taking a little longer than he thought necessary. What he saw was going make the trip home a lot more uncomfortable.

Casey was standing in the thigh deep water completely naked. She had her back turned to him giving him a lovely view of her backside. He nearly fell over when she leaned down to rinse the soap from her hair. Her long hair hung in her face as she turned letting her hair fly back wildly. A drop of water hit Vin. He realized he had moved towards her without knowing it. A few more feet and he would be in the water.

Vin’s eyes ran up and down her body trying to memorize the sight of her womanly curves before he got control over himself and moved away. Her body was more amazing than he could have ever imagined.

Vin moved back to the fire he had started and was staring into the flames when she returned.

“You OK, Vin,” Casey asked concerned for him.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just been a strange couple o f days,” Vin said getting up from the log he had been sitting on. He couldn’t even look at her without seeing her naked.

“Yeah, Isn’t it? Hey! You’re not a wanted man anymore!” Casey made to hug him but Vin evaded her touch. He didn’t trust himself not to touch her.

“I’ll go get us some dinner,” Vin said mounting his horse quickly and didn’t see the tears form in Casey’s eyes.

“He doesn’t want me. Even as a friend,” she whispered her voice full of heartache. She knew he would just have the marriage annulled like Missy Thomkins parents insisted after she married a ranch hand.

Casey fell to her knees and cried after he left. That hurt most of all. Vin not wanting her even to be his friend. That hit her harder because she a least thought she had that much. Vin had always been friendly with her. He would joke and tease her much like a brother would.

The thought hit her like a ton of bricks. That was why he was acting so weird. Vin thought of her as a sister so being married to her must make him uncomfortable.

Even as she did her part to set up cam p for the night she had to pause now and then to let the tears out. When Vin returned she made sure to avoid his gaze and went to be early. She could tell he was avoiding her as well. Otherwise she would have never concealed her distress from him. She attributed it to the unwanted marriage. She wouldn’t force him to stay married to her when he so clearly didn’t want it.

Vin lay on his bedroll staring at the sky. Every time he closed his eyes he saw Casey’s glorious body. He was very aware of her lying across from him or he would have missed the sound of her crying quietly. She had been so quiet tonight but he feared he would ravish her if he tried to draw her in to conversation.

Unable to stand the sound of her crying Vin went to her and pulled her into his arms.

“Casey? What’s wrong?”

Casey opened her mouth to speak but all that came out was more tears. Vin stroked her hair and could feel the wetness of her tears soak thou gh his shirt.

“Don’t cry. Please tell me what’s wrong,” Vin gently rocked her.

“I’m just being stupid. I know you don’t want to be married to me and I never thought I could be so lucky to have you so when he married us. I started to hope and...” Casey’s words turned into unintelligible babble as she cried harder.

Vin stared at the girl in his arms crying her eyes out over him, “You want to be my wife?”

“Yes! More than anything I...” Casey’s words were silenced by his kiss. He then kissed her forehead and used his thumb to dry her tears.

“I do want you to be my wife,” Vin brushed his lips against hers.

The kiss started out gentle and tender but soon the passion built and Vin could no longer control himself. His hands swept over body exploring every inch.

“Casey, your so beautiful,” Vin said as he stripped her of her clothing. “So soft and smooth.”

“Vin, That feels so good,” Casey said as he kissed her breasts and lightly sucked her sensitive nipples.

He moved don her body kissing her stomach, hips and thighs. He gently parted her legs and nearly came just looking at her. She was everything he ever dreamed of. Warm sweet and inviting.

Vin let his head fall to her dark curls to taste her moving his tongue in small circles. He paid special attention to her sensitive bud by gently sucking it into his mouth. He let his fingers take over as he placed his tongue at her opening and probed her inner folds deeply.

Casey was speechless. She couldn’t believe this was real. It was like a dream only this was nothing like anything she ever known before. The warmth he created within her kept building until her whole body was shaking and stiff as a board as she came for the very first time in her life.

She looked down at Vin in amazement. His eyes said everything she was afraid she would never see. This man wanted her. She dared ho pe he loved her but this was more than she thought she could hope for. Besides she could work on love later.

“Casey, I won’t do anything your not ready for.”

“I want to see you,” Casey sat up and began undoing the buttons to his shirt and Vin laughed when she tickled his side by accident.

“Your ticklish?”

“No. I’m not,” Vin lied and tried to keep her hands away from his ticklish sides. “OK OK OK I am.”

“That was fun,” Casey laughed then sobered as she took in the sight of his bare chest and bulge in his pants. Casey licked her lips and kissed his chest.

Casey helped him shed the rest of his clothing but stopped her when she went to bring her mouth on him.

“I want it but this will end real quick if you do,” Vin told her and smiled when her disappointment vanished.

“Next time,” Casey stated.

“Next time,” Vin repeated with a growl.

After making sure Casey was ready Vin lay her down on her b ack and gently pressed himself into her. Casey cried out both from pain and pleasure of having him inside her for the first time.

“Kiss me,” Vin ordered and his kiss drove the pain away leaving only the pleasure. Slowly he began to move his hips when he could tell her breathless gasps were from pleasure.

Vin slowly would enter then withdrawal driving Casey insane with the pleasure. Vin increased the pressure pressing deeper and deeper with each slow thrust. His tongue mimicked the same movements.

Casey kept her mouth open to allow him full access as she let him position her legs over his shoulders. Now his thrusts were stretching her even further completely making her mindless with pleasure.

Vin’s lips left her mouth to kiss and nuzzle her neck. He carpeted her neck from her ear to her shoulder with hot wet kisses before he rubbed his soft beard inflaming her skin and her passion.

Impressed with how flexible Casey was pressed her knees to her chest and continued to drive into her. After checking to make sure she was all right he increased his p ace as he grew closer to his release.

Vin was pounding into her body during his final moments unable to stop until he exploded filling her womb with his seed. He collapsed against her then helped her stretch her legs out.

“Casey, You are amazing,” Vin softly kissed her letting his love embrace her as did his arms.

Casey was tired but she felt more alive than ever before. Being married to Vin Tanner and having him make love to her was more than she ever dreamed possible. She was afraid to close her eyes In case it had all been a wonderful dream.

Unable to stay awake she rested her head against Vin’s chest with his arms around her keeping her safe and warm.

Vin woke early the next morning the unfamiliar feeling of a naked woman beside him. Vin opened his eyes to see Casey resting so peacefully next to him. He couldn’t believe how quickly he let his lust control him. He felt Casey deserved better.

Vin was abo ut to untangle himself from her embrace when her sleepy eyes opened and she gave him a great big smile. He was expecting her to be angry at him for his actions. For rushing her into something she wasn’t ready for.

“Casey, I...” Vin tried to apologize for losing control but Casey refused to let him speak. She was so scared that he would say it had been a mistake and wouldn’t let it happen again. With all the courage she could find she kissed him before he could say another word.

Vin at first was stiff against the kiss and she was sure she had lost until his arms wrapped around her and he kissed her back with passion. With no clothes to separate them he pulled her on top of him and lowered her on to his throbbing erection.

Casey was a little tender from last night but her desire and hunger for the man beneath her won out and she slowly rode him. Casey felt him get even harder as she increased her pace as her enjoyment of his body grew.

Vin held on to her hips helping her increase the pace. Her breasts bounced wildly in time to her movements. Vin cried out her name at the same time as she screamed her pleasure.

Vin let her fall to his chest and held her as they struggled to find their breath. She lay on top of Vin enjoying the feel of him inside her. They would take turn giving each other feather light kisses on their necks until Casey found a ticklish spot.

“Casey!” Vin squealed as she kissed and sucked hard at the sensitive skin. Vin’s only defense was distracting her. As he grew hard inside her he flipped her on her back and drove hips forward.

Casey’s eyes shut in passion as he thrust into her. Her hands clawed t his back and Vin was sure she left welts but he didn’t care. He was way past thought. He obeyed his primitive instincts and claimed Casey’s body and soul.

“You’re mine,” Vin said as he released his seed inside her.

+ + + + + + +

After washing up in the stream the two lovers continued towards home. They had to go slowly since Casey was ext remely sore.

“I kind of like it,” Casey admitted when Vin apologized for the eleventh time. “Reminds me of how I got that way.”

“Say things like that is only going to get you more sore,” Vin said seductively.

“Promise?” Casey laughed as Vin growled and rode up ahead.

Vin found them a cave to stay in that night. Casey placed their bedrolls together after Vin placed them apart.

“Casey, there’s no way I wont be able to touch you if your that close,”

“I don’t mind. I love being with you,” Casey felt bold enough to kiss him.

“I don’t want to hurt you and we still have a ways to go,”

“Vin, you’ll hurt me if you don’t touch me,” Casey said. The long ride had made her tender flesh ache for the feel of him. She imagined she was riding him instead of her horse and felt her body react in ways she was just beginning to understand.

“Make love to me,” Casey slowly removed her clothes captivating Vin’s attention.

“You’re driving me crazy,” Vin said as he joined her on the makeshift bed.

Casey smiled at him and winked, “It is next time.”

Vin let out a feral growl as her mouth descended upon his manhood. He lightly ran his fingers through her soft hair as he tried to keep himself using her hair to pull her down on him.

He hissed loudly as she used her tongue to play with his sensitive tip as she bobbed her head up and down his engorged shaft.

“Casey!” Vin moaned as he felt the pressure build up in his balls as he fought for control over his own body.

Vin’s hot love juices flowed into Casey’s mouth as he lost the battle.

“Casey, stop! Too sensitive!” Vin tried to still her actions but she only got more gentle.

“I like doing this,” she said as she continued to nuzzle and kiss his sated flesh.

“You’re killing me,” Vin said happily as he lay back to let her have her way with him.

+ + + + + + +

Ca sey was asleep dead to the world when Vin heard a noise and with lightning reflexes pointed his mare leg at the intruder.

“It’s me,” Chris called out then stared at the sight in front of him.

“Damn, Chris you nearly got yourself shot,” Vin lowered his mare leg and covered Casey’s naked body with the blanket.

“Not exactly what I expected to find in here,” Chris stated staring at the couple.

“No, I guess its not. Give us a moment,” Chris nodded and stepped outside.

Vin helped a sleepy Casey get dressed and then joined Chris outside after making sure she went back to sleep.

“You and Casey?” Chris gave Vin a long look that held a warning.

“She’s my wife,” Vin told him. “You’re late.”

“Got caught out in a storm and was nearly tossed around by a twister. You escaped?”

“Nope,” Vin informed him of the events of the past few days.

“Just like that? All that time looking over your shoulder...”

“Yep, j ust like that,” Vin snapped his fingers.

“So your married,”

“Yep,”

“Happy about it,”

“What do you think?” Vin raised his eyebrows at him.

“I think your a lucky man,” Chris seeing the image of her naked body snuggling against Vin.

“Yeah, I think so, too.” Vin smiled.

“So was she as good as she looks?”

“Better,” Vin gave Chris a wink.

Casey sneaked back and went back to sleep knowing her husband was as happy as she was with their unexpected marriage. When Vin returned she snuggled against him as Chris set up his bed roll a few feet away.

“I can sleep outside if you want,” Chris noticed Casey’s straying hand.

“Nah, she’s too sore,” Catching her hand before it explored further south.

“Not that sore,” Casey said making both men laugh.
