Cash (9 page)

“I
have to try it sometime.”

Katy
lay back on the pillow, helping Cash out by spreading her legs wide. He inched
across and at first struggled to get into position but then everything was
perfect.

He
held open her labia while pushing himself inside.

“You’d
better be right about your bed not making a noise because I’m in the mood to
fuck you rough and hard.”

“Just
the way I like it,” said Katy.

Cash
wasn’t exaggerating. This time his lovemaking was harder, faster, almost like
he was celebrating having sex this way.

He
drove his cock higher into her pussy, taking her by surprise. She flexed her
toes, knowing she couldn’t scream out like she usually did when she came. His
sweat and her perspiration began to mingle. Her thighs were covered in a
combination of both and maybe some of her juices too. It was sexy, naughty, and
she wanted this man to do this to her for the rest of her life.

Katy
tipped her head back, biting her lip knowing Cash was bringing her closer to a
climax. The very tip of his cock scraped her G-spot. Yeah, she knew exactly
where that was from the books she sold in the store.
Books
for men to read and study.
Cash clearly didn’t need to do that.

The
room span as Cash grunted and moved faster.

She
gripped his biceps, heard his breathing getting heavier and more labored. She
usually liked to put her legs over the guy’s butt but didn’t want to because of
his leg.

She
clung to him, feeling him slide deep, hitting the back wall of her pussy and then
wow. Her climax hit her and she had to press her lips together to stop herself
from crying out and her parents knowing what they were up to. Finally a groan
escaped.
Maybe not loud enough for anyone else to detect but
Cash.
Katy was sure she could hear Cash’s heart beating as he breathed
in and then groaned in her ear, and then the pressure in her pussy telling her
he’d climaxed too.

“Shit,
Katy, that
was one of the best fucks I ever had.”

He
kissed her, finally pulling out of her and slowly finding his way back by her
side.

“Your
leg okay?” she asked him.

“It’s
fine. You want me to spoon you?”

“Cash
Doyle I think you might be too good to be true.”

Katy
flipped over and felt Cash’s arms around her.

“Guess
we should get to sleep because I know you’re going to work me hard in your
store.”

She
smiled. She could already hear Cash snoring.

****

Someone help me.
Jim, Todd, where are you guys?

Cash
saw the carnage. His ears were still ringing from the explosion. There was
smoke and he could smell something putrid. Something he’d never experienced in
his entire life. He wanted to be sick but all he got were dry heaves. His leg,
something was wrong with his leg. Cash looked down. His uniform was covered in
blood and debris and half his leg was missing. He looked around to see body
parts. One of them had to be his leg. Something bad had happened.
Something really bad.

He
screamed and screamed and hoped someone would hear him and come to his rescue.

“Cash,
it’s okay, you’re safe.”

Someone
was touching his arm and kissing his forehead. He opened his eyes to see Katy
leaning over him. He thought he was back in Afghanistan but remembered he’d met
her long after his return.

“Everything
all right in there?” someone knocked on the door and it was a woman’s voice.
Katy’s mom.

Shit,
shit, shit. Now he remembered he was staying at her folks’ house and he’d
obviously had one of his nightmares.
The one that ended in
the screams.
He’d already had to move out of one place because his
neighbors had complained about him waking them and scaring their kids. That was
back in the days when he had them three or four times a week.

“It’s
fine Mom. Cash had a bad dream,” said Katy.

“Maybe
he should have some warm milk,” she called back through the door.

Katy
smiled.

“You
know you and Connor always enjoyed that when you thought monsters were under
your beds?” she added.

“Sure
Mom, why don’t you make some and we’ll be right there.”

“We’ll
have to go drink it or she’ll get upset. You feel up to it or should I bring it
in here?” asked Katy.

“No,
walking around might be just what I need. I’m not a big fan of warm milk
though.”

He
was hot and clammy like he always was after those types of dreams. He slid to
the side of the bed, reached over for his limb and attached. He stood, pulled
on his pants and the t-shirt that Katy had borrowed from her dad for him.

“Everything
okay?” he heard Katy’s dad asking out in the hallway.

“Fine,
Cash had a bad dream so I’m making some hot milk.”

“I
could do with one of those now that I’m awake.”

“Geez,
I’ve woken everyone,” said Cash.

“Don’t
worry because we’re light sleepers.
Even birds singing in the
morning wakes
us.”

She
was being nice. She was always so nice. He walked out to the kitchen with Katy
to see her dad sitting at the table and her mom stirring milk in a pan.

“My
apologies for waking you at…” he looked at the clock. “
One in
the morning.”

“Don’t
even think about it. I had some nightmares when I had my surgery and chemo
treatment. Now sit
yourself
down and relax,” said her
dad.

The
four of them sat in silence for a while until Katy’s mom brought over the four
mugs of milk and sat them down. “I have the first batch of holiday cookies in
the fridge if anyone’s interested?”

“Not
for me mom,” said Katy.

“Me
neither,” said Cash.

She
looked at Katy’s father. “No, not after all the food I ate today. I have to
keep my youthful figure.”

Cash
smiled. If only his dad had such a sense of humor as Mr. Nolan-Delaney. No
wonder Katy and Connor were such happy people. He ran his finger around the rim
of his mug. He hated this stuff but he didn’t want to offend Katy’s mother in
any way.

“I
know what that needs, nice splash of whisky,” said Katy’s dad getting up from
the chair and heading over to one of the cabinets. He pulled out a bottle and
tipped a good amount into Cash’s mug before helping himself to the same amount
in his milk.

“That
should make you drift off to a peaceful sleep,” said Katy.

Peaceful.
He hadn’t had
that sort of slumber in a very long time.

Chapter Eight

Katy
could tell that the bad dream the night before had upset Cash more than the one
in Vegas had. Maybe he’d been worried about waking her folks or them knowing
that he had night terrors. She assured him that they were open-minded people
who didn’t judge a person by their weaknesses and failings but on whether they
were a good person or not. That was the only criteria that a Nolan-Delaney used
to decide whether or not they wanted to befriend you.

The
shop had been bustling all day and she couldn’t have coped without Cash manning
the cash register. She’d seen him blush a few times when he’d rung up things
like vibrators, whips and dildos. But that’s what she loved about him so much.
Despite what he’d been through there was still
an innocence
to him. A vulnerability that made her almost
want
to
kiss and cuddle him. And speaking of babying someone, Jennifer and Connor
strolled into the store about an hour before closing, loaded with all things
baby.

“Look
isn’t this so cute?” asked Jennifer, showing Katy a blue toweling bath towel
with ducks and rabbits on it. “Look it even has a hood to go over the baby’s
head when you dry him.”

“I
told her that was way too small for me,” said Connor.

“Isn’t
he a laugh a minute,” said Katy.

“We
got a great deal on a crib and changing table and I’ve picked out the wallpaper
for Jon’s nursery.”

Katy
bit her lip. It sounded so wonderful, so dreamlike. Hopefully Aunt Betty was
right about men getting in the mood to propose over the holidays. She was ready
for marriage. Ready for babies and each time she looked at Cash she was sure
her ovaries and their eggs were doing flips thinking she’d finally found
someone to put them to good use.

“And
what happened to your Santa outfit?” Katy asked her brother.

“It’s
in the car but I thought Cash might like to be Santa,” said Connor.

“Me.
I haven’t been Santa ever.”

“Then
here’s your chance to show Katy your big candy cane,” said Connor.

“Connor,
where are your manners?” asked Jennifer. “Geez, I’m not sure what I’m going to
do with him.”

Connor
grabbed her and rubbed her belly. “Come along mama let’s get these things back
home and let Cash and Katy finish up here for the day. Oh, and I’ll bring the
suit in for you and I want to hear that you’ve given it some use.” Connor
winked at Katy.

For
once she loved Connor’s meddling.

****

Katy
sat on the bed eating the rest of the pumpkin pie from the day before as Cash
went into her bathroom to try on the Santa suit.

“This
thing itches like hell,” she heard him say.

She
smiled and decided to take her bathrobe off, and lay in the nude while she
waited.

“Ho,
ho, ho,” he said walking out of the bathroom.

The
suit was almost a perfect fit.

“Wow,
it’s not too often Santa arrives in the home of a naked woman.”

“I’ve
been very naughty this year, Santa,” said Katy.

“Have
you now?”

Cash
sat on the side of the bed. He placed his white gloved hand on her belly.

“Would
you like to see what Santa’s brought for you?” he asked.

“I
hoping
it’s
a candy cane. Not just any old candy cane
but Santa’s candy cane.”

“First
of all he has some panties for you.”

Katy
laughed when he pulled out the chocolate flavored edible ones.

“Put
them on.”

She
took them from him and slipped them over her thighs, the smell of chocolate
rising and making her hungry.

Cash
leaned over and began to lick them before beginning to pull them off with his
teeth.

“Surely
this is a treat for you Santa and not for me,” said Katy.

“Just
wait your turn.”

She
opened her legs and let Cash nibble away at the part of the panties around her
pussy, his tongue catching her folds and clit in the process.

“You
want to see my candy cane?” he asked. “It’s a magic one.”

“Really.”

She
laughed when he pulled out the vibrator he’d bought on their Vegas trip.

Cash
slid it over her belly, down her curls and then into her folds and very slowly
pushed it inside her. This was one of the bestselling models at the store. A
few women had told her it produced the best climax of their lives. She wasn’t
quite ready when Cash turned it on.

“Geez,”
she said holding the headboard. They weren’t kidding. She’d already had what
she guessed was a mini orgasm.

She
sank down onto the bed and let Cash push it in and out of her while it hummed
away.

“I
can tell you like my candy cane,” said Cash.

Katy
took the pillow from the bed and hugged it to her chest as she cried out when
the vibrator took her way over the edge.

“Hey,
now I’m jealous of this thing,” said Cash, turning it off and throwing it onto
the bed.

He
dropped his pants and was hard and ready when he got on the bed. He sheathed
himself with the holiday colored condom they’d given away as door busters at
the store.

He
slid inside her. The two of them looked each other in the eye.

“Make
a wish and Santa will make it come true,” said Cash.

Orgasm and you
proposing to me on Christmas morning.

Katy
brought her legs up and over Cash’s body, allowing him to slide in deep. His
Santa beard tickled her as he leaned over and kissed her.
 
They both breathed in perfect time as their
bodies almost became one.

Katy
drew in her breath, feeling her climax on the horizon, while Cash’s became
labored. She shuddered, the thrill of his cock inside her traveling through her
thighs and pussy until her whole body shook. And then Cash cried out and then
went still. They rubbed their noses together and put their forehead against one
another as Cash’s cell phone rang.
