From This Moment (3 page)

Her laugh is infectious and I try to scowl at her, but I don’t quite pull it off.

“I’m sorry, but the look on your face when you realized your path wasn’t clear was funny.”

She’s looking at me with a sad smile now, “I need to sleep for a while.
 I’ve been awake for a long time and with the time difference.  I’m so tired.  Would you mind passing me a pillow?” 

I look at her for a short time then stand up again to retrieve a pillow from the overhead compartment.
 She then settles down to sleep.

During the flight she ends up sleeping on Jake’s shoulder.
  Jake being Jake put his arm around her and got comfortable.  I spent the flight reading.  If anyone asked what I was reading, I seriously don’t think I’d be able to answer.

It’s
hell being so attracted to the same woman as your son.  I know that nothing can actually happen between us; she’s younger than Anna and Jake, my twenty-five year old twins.  Knowing that certainly isn’t helping and I really need to stop feeling jealous of my son.

Waking up on the descent into Jackson Hole, I find myself looking straight into Jake’s eyes which are mere inches away from mine.  I must have somehow cuddled up to him during the flight.  I’m practically lying in his lap. 

“Gosh, I’m sorry.
 I hadn’t realized I was sleeping on you.” I scramble to get back into my seat all embarrassed, especially with Cade looking on.

“Don’t worry, I enjoyed it.”
  Jake replies with a small laugh, “You know, I’ve been thinking about your accommodation problem and I’ve come up with another option.”

“I’m open to options.
  What are you thinking?”

“There’s plenty of room at our place and you won’t be alone with the both of us, at least for the next two weeks.
  My sister Beth and her husband Mack along with their kids are staying with us while they have work done on their house.” Jake looks at his dad for ="2his dadconfirmation.

“I can’t do that.
  We don’t even know each other.”  Half hoping Cade will come up with an excuse why I can’t stay with them.  But I know I’ll be upset if he does.

“You’d be more than welcome to stay with us.
  As Jake says there’s plenty of room and my daughter is there.  I’m sure she would love having another female around for company.”  He says this looking at me and I can’t think of anywhere else that I want to be right now.

“
Thank you I would love to stay with you and your family.”  My heart beats wildly.  I’m wondering what I’m doing.

Once we disembark, Cade and Jake lead the way to collect our luggage.
  Thankfully, it’s arrived with us.

As we start towards the exit, Jake shoots off saying he’s going to go retrieve the car from the parking lot and will be back shortly.

Cade suggests that we wait for Jake outside to get some fresh air after being inside all day.  Walking outside it’s rather windy.  Cade directs me towards the end of the car pickup area to take shelter in an alcove, facing away from the road and the wind.

I feel really odd being alone with Cade, because of how attractive he is.
  He really is yummy and I can’t get over the fact that he’s twenty-one years older than me.  He seems to be attracted to me, but knowing his age, well, I guess he would be more interested in someone more his own age.  Then he turns to look at me and I find myself transfixed by his blazing green eyes.

“Is it far to your place?”
  I try to fill in some of the silence.

He doesn’t answer, but is still looking at me.
  Taking a step closer, he puts his hand to the side of my face.

“Your skin feels like silk.”
  He caresses my cheek.  “I’ve been wondering how you would feel against my hand since the moment I laid eyes on you.”

I turn my face slightly into his touch and kiss his palm.
  Sucking in his breath, he moves even closer to me.

“You need to let Jake show you around and introduce you to his friends,” he says, as though he’s in pain, w
hile I continue to burrow into his hand.

“Why not you?”
  I whisper against his hand; my eyes are still locked to his.

“I want nothing more than to be the one to show you around and spend time with you, but I’m forty-five which is far too olde=" far to for you.
  Jake is only a year older than you.”  Taking a deep breath he continues, “I’ve never reacted to anyone before the way I react to you, which I need to get over because anything between us is impossible.”

At this comment, I can feel my heart breaking, he looks so sad with what he’s just said and it’s brought tears to my eyes.
  I move slightly away from him hoping he doesn’t see my reaction.  But unfortunately he does.

“Hey, don’t cry.”

I turn to walk away, but he catches hold of my arm and brings me back to him with my back against his chest.

Once there, he inhales slowly and turns me around to face him.
  He lifts his hands to my face and uses his thumbs to wipe my tears away.  He looks straight into my eyes, “If you think for one minute that seeing you go off with Jake everyday is going to be easy for me then think again.  I don’t think anything is going to be the same again for me and the thought of you with him –  In bed with him or anyone else for that matter makes me want to hit something.  Very hard.”

He’s still holding my face and
, during our conversation, he’s gotten so close to me that we are now chest to chest and hidden from view by the alcove.  My breathing has become slightly labored and so has Cades.  I find myself wanting just one taste of him.

“Kiss me.”
  I ask, looking at him, “At least put your tongue inside me….” and before I can finish his lips meet mine with such force, I don’t think I’ll ever recover.  As he starts kissing me, I’m not sure who moves in first.  I’m pressed close to him with my back against the wall and one of my legs wrapped around one of his. 

His mouth on mine sends tingles all the way through me to my core.
  My arms wrap around his neck.  My hands go to the nape of his neck; I run my fingers through his hair.  He tastes all male and smells so good.  I never want this kiss to end.  My nipples are hard tips digging into his chest, our tongues continue to duel.  God, I’m so wet and want him so badly.

~~ Cade ~~

Heaven help me, when she said to me ‘at least put your tongue inside me’.  I just lose it, having to taste her.  Our mouths meet; she opens her mouth to me.  I slip my tongue inside her like she asks.  Our tongues fuse; I never want to come up for air.

She tastes like coffee and chocolate.
  With our mouths still locked together, she wraps her arms around me, running her fingers through the hair at the nape of my neck; sending shivers straight through me to my cock.

Holding her in my arms, I move her back towards the wall for support.
  She wraps her leg around me andt sround m starts to rub herself against my erection.   I’m in heaven and nearly come like a teenager on his first outing with a girl.  She feels so good and right in my arms. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to let her go, which I know I have to do, but I wasn’t about to stop this kiss, at least not yet.

She pulls her mouth from mine for much needed air, but I find it impossible to stop tasting her.
  Placing tiny kisses along her mouth, I move down to her neck, her collarbone, then back up to her ear.  I bite down slightly.  She shivers.

Moving back to kiss her mouth, I put my hand up under her t-shirt and slowly move up to her breasts.
  Teasing her nipple with my fingers through her thin bra, I feel it tighten even more.  With my other hand, I take hold of her butt to align her better with my erection.

She tastes so good and is so responsive to my touch – driving me crazy.

Cupping one of her breasts in my hand, I remove it from her bra.  Placing my mouth on her, I suck her nipple into my mouth.  She goes wild in my arms and rubs herself against my shaft.  Christ, I’m so aroused with having Rona in my arms.  I’m not sure I’ll be able to hold back the orgasm that I’ve been hovering on the edge of since the first touch.

Within seconds her breathing changes.
  She moans – loudly.  Moving back to her mouth, our tongues meet and mate; I move my other hand to the fastening on her jeans; undoing the button and zipper.  I slip my hand into the front, moving my hand lower; she digs her nails into my shoulders.  I slide my fingers through her wet heat – boy is she wet!  Removing my hand from between her thighs, I shove both hands into the back of her jeans, landing on her naked butt.  Thank god for thongs!

Pulling her back into my erection we both grind against each other; squeezing her butt, she shakes in orgasm.
  I come in my jeans.  Seeing stars, I shut my eyes and just hold on to her while I come back down to earth.

Rona’s still holding on to me as though her life depends on it.
  Her breathing starts to even out.

She finally looks up at me, “So that’s what all the talk is about.”
  I just look at her not comprehending what she’s telling me at first and then I realize she’s telling me – that was her first orgasm.

“What.
  I mean why.  I mean you were engaged, didn’t you....”  After her response, I’m actually lost for words. 

Taking pity on me, “I had sex now and again with Nick, but he was always too impatient and I was never so in tune with him, like I just was with you.”

I just grin at her.

“It’s even betteok s even r when there are no clothes involved,” I say, on a sigh, while fastening her jeans back up.

~~ Rona ~~

I rest my head on his shoulder as he continues to hold me stroking my back.
  How the hell am I going to walk away from this guy?  I’d heard what he said about the age difference, which I guess is a major problem, and I don’t see a way around it.  As our heart rates start to get back to normal, I pull away slightly from Cade and look up with my arms still around him.

“Are you okay?” he asks me with such a tender smile on his face.

“I don’t think I’ll ever be okay again, unless I’m in your arms.”

He tightens his hold on me as he hears what I say.
  Putting his lips to my forehead and placing a small kiss there, he then rests his forehead against mine while looking into my eyes.

“God, please don’t say that.
  You have to find a younger guy to be with, although it will kill me.  This closeness between us can never happen again.  I can’t believe it happened in the first place.  You taste and smell so good; I just can’t stop touching you.   I need to find the strength to keep my hands off you.”

I rest my forehead against his chest and hold on as tight as he’s holding me.
  Taking a deep breath, I look up.  Our eyes meet as he leans down and gives me a really tender kiss.

Hearing a vehicle approach, we reluctantly step apart.
