“Ya think?” Jesse scowl’s at her. He
is not in a good mood.
She notices the bottle of Jack on the
table. “Is that the reason for your headache??”
“What do you think?” He
huffs.
Jesse puts his arm around my shoulder
pulling me against him. “Alexa, this is Cassie.” He looks down at
me. “Cassie, this is Alexa my older sister.”
I leave his arms and walk over to her
with my right hand extended. “Hi, Alexa. I’m Cassie Morelli. I
really am happy to meet you,” I say with a smile. Geez, I hope she
isn’t like her dad.
Instead of taking my hand, she grabs
me into a big hug. Oh, my! She pulls back with a big grin on her
face. “Hi, Cassie, please call me Allie. Only my dad calls me
Alexa. It’s nice to meet you too.” She smirks at Jesse. “And I am
only three years older than you, twerp.” Then she frowns. “I hope
dad wasn’t too rough on you guys,” she says looking between me and
Jesse.
Jesse walks over to us and puts his
arm around my waist. As I put my arm around him, I look up at him
and smile.
“Oh, dad was dad. You know how he is.
He was the way he always is with me and he wasn’t nice to Cassie at
all. I got so pissed off after he went to bed that I drank until I
passed out on the couch. Does that tell you anything?” He’s looking
at Allie like he’s still mad. “I didn’t even hear him leave this
morning and obviously he left without resetting the alarm. Dammit!”
Yep, he’s pissed.
I am so uncomfortable right now. “Um,
why don’t I go make us some breakfast?” I say pulling away from
Jesse. “Maybe you all can talk a bit until I have it ready.” I
smile. “I’ll holler at you when it’s time to eat.” I give Jesse’s
waist a squeeze and walk out of the room.
By the time I get everything on the
table, Jesse and Allie walk into the kitchen laughing. “No, you
took that from me, you meanie,” Allie says as she gives Jesse a
punch in the arm. Jesses give her a playful shove. “Well, you took
it from me first and it was mine in the first place, you thief!”
They both start laughing at each other.
Allie stops and looks at the table.
“Geez, are you planning on feeding an army? Look at all the food. I
am in heaven!”
“Um, yeah, I guess I did get a bit
carried away. But I wasn’t sure what you liked,” I said
shyly.
I look around at the food on the
table. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, toast, fruit,
waffles and pancakes. Ha, well at least she should like something
out of that!
We all sit down and start digging in.
“Oh, my God this is fabulous,” Allie says with a mouth full of
food. Jesse adds, “Wow, so you’re a great cook too, huh? Maybe we
need to trade off and on with the cooking detail.”
He looks at me and gives me his
gorgeous smile. Then he looks over at Allie. “So, how long are you
planning on staying?”
Allie looks a little uncomfortable and
squirms in her seat. “Ah, well, I’m not quite sure. I told the
office I was taking a week of vacation soooo, I was hoping to stay
for a while?”
Jesse looks at me and I shrug my
shoulders and nod. “I think it would be great if you stayed. I
would love to get to know you better,” I say smiling at her. Jesse
looks at Allie and smiles. “I’m ok with that. I haven’t seen you in
so long. Can’t wait to catch up.”
Allie is jumping in her seat.
“Awesome! I was hoping you would say that. And, ya know, it’s your
fault we haven’t seen each other in so long. With running all over
the country after these guys. Geez, it’s a wonder you haven’t been
killed by now you jackass!” She reaches over and punches him in the
shoulder.
Jesse gives her a smirk, and I look
over at him and smile. What I wouldn’t give to have a family, to
have siblings I could horse around with and just love. I
sigh.
“What’s wrong, babe?” Jesse asks me
with a frown. I look at him with a half-smile. “Oh, nothing. I just
love seeing how much you love each other. It’s sweet.” He reaches
over and squeezes my shoulder lovingly.
We finish eating and all pitch in to
clean up. Then, we head to the living room. I take a seat on the
couch and Allie sits on the over-sized chair. Jesse looks at us and
says, “Girls, I am gonna go into the office and do a little work,
while you all chat.” Then looking at me. “If that’s ok,
baby?”
Allie sighs. “Ah, baby, too
sweet!”
I giggle and look at Jesse. “Sure,
Babe. That’s cool.”
Jesse smirks at Allie then bends down
and gives me a soft kiss on the top of my head before walking
towards the office. “I won’t be too long, I promise,” he says over
his shoulder.
Chapter
seventeen
“So, what do you do for a living,
Allie?” I ask as we settle in. She looks over to me and smiles.
“Well, right now I am managing my dad’s office, but I really,
really want to be an author. I have been writing stories for
several years, I just haven’t had the extra time to try and publish
them.”
“Wow, how cool! I would love to read
one. What kind of stories are they?” I ask eagerly. Allies clears
her throat. “They’re romance stories, kind of erotic, that’s why I
have never shared my passion with Jesse or especially my dad. Oh,
my God, my dad would absolutely disown me on the spot!”
I giggle. “Well, I will never tell
him. I think he hates me anyway, at least it feels like it by the
way he acted towards me last night.” I sigh.
Allie looks at me apologetically. “Oh,
it’s not you Cassie, I’m sure! He’s just a stubborn man who hates
what Jesse has been doing and just taking it out on you
guys.”
“Why is he so upset that Jesse is
trying to find his mom’s killers? I mean, I know it’s dangerous and
seriously, I get that it’s putting him and you all in danger, but
really I think Jesse’s passion for this is admirable. It seems like
he has to do this maybe to get closure?”
Allie sighs and take a deep breath. “I
know, I know. I am torn about it. I know Jesse feels he needs to do
this, but at the same time, I’m so worried about him. I don’t think
I could take it if anything were to happen to him. We’re so close.
But I get where he is coming from. My mother is no saint, we aren’t
close at all. I felt more loved by Claire than I do my own mom.
He’s been at this for two years now, so much time gone. I hardly
ever get to see him and he doesn’t talk much on the phone.” She
sighs again and shakes her head. “I just miss him.”
“So, what does Jesse work on in
there?” I say as I tilt my head towards the office. Allie looks
over to the office. “Sorry, that’s really for him to tell you, I
think. And I am sure he will.” She smiles at me.
“Fair enough.” I smile back. Allie
bends over in her seat and puts her hands on her knees. “So, tell
me about you guys. You’re really hitting it off, huh?” She smiles
deviously at me.
I smile widely. “Um, yeah. Allie, I
know I don’t know you or Jesse for that matter very well yet, but I
am so falling in love with him. Is that crazy after such a short
time with him? I just…I just can’t help it.”
Allie squeaks, “Squeeeeee!!!! Oh, my
God! I am so excited and happy for you both! Jesse is a great guy
and will make you so happy!” She jumps up and grabs me into a big
hug. Wow! Umkay….that went well.
“And no, I don’t think that’s crazy. I
think anyone can fall in love fast, if it’s the right person. Why
do you think I write romance stories?” She smiles.
At that moment, Jesse walks into the
room. Allie is still squealing loudly and hugging me to where I
can’t breathe. “Are you all okay?” He asks with a perplexed look on
his face.
Allie drops me and runs over to Jesse
and pushes him back slightly, as she slams into him. “Oh, my God,
Jesse! I am so happy for you guys!” Jesse starts laughing and looks
my way. “Um, babe, what’s she talking about?”
I stand up and walk over to them and
smile shyly at him. “Well I kind of told her we are together and
she just sort of went crazy.”
Jesse starts laughing harder. “Ah, I
see. Well you are getting to know my sister rather quickly. She
gets really excited pretty easily.”
Allie finally lets Jesse go and comes
and stands by me. She grabs my hand and holds it. “We’re gonna be
the best of friends. We will spend hours getting to know each
other, having sleepovers, girl nights and we will have soooo much
fun!” She says looking at me and smiling so big. She really is
beautiful.
“Ahem, so you’re saying that Cassie
and I really won’t have much time together because you will be
monopolizing all her time? Yeah, I don’t think so,” Jesse says
smirking at her.
Allie laughs. “Nah, I will let you
have plenty of time with your girl, after I leave and maybe, just
maybe, a little time while I am here.”
“Gee, thanks sis,” he says with a
frown on his face.
We spend the day talking about
everything. I told her about my life growing up, the Café, my
friends there and how I miss them so much. She tells me about how
she hates her job and some day she will get the guts to leave it
and follow her dream of writing.
“When this is all over, I really would
like for you and Jesse to come meet my friends at the Café. You all
will love them and I know they will love you too. They’re really
the only true family I have,” I say eagerly.
Jesse scoots closer to me on the couch
and puts his arm around me and squeezes. “We are your family too
now, baby. Don’t ever forget that.” He kisses me on my
cheek.
“Yes, we are and there is no getting
rid of us,” Allie says matter of factly.
Later that evening, Allie stands and
stretches. “Well, I am bushed. I think I will go clean up and hit
the hay. Sleep tight and I’ll see ya in the morning.” She comes
over and give us both quick kisses on our cheeks.
Awwwww!
After Allie has gone upstairs, Jesse
pulls me to him and turns us towards each other. He begins kissing
me all over my face. My forehead. My eyes. My cheeks. “Hmmmm, let’s
go upstairs and get to know each other even better,” he says still
kissing me. I wiggle a little. “Uh, um. Oh! Yes, um, okay,” I say
incoherently.
Chapter
eighteen
We make our way upstairs and I go
stand by the bed. He backs into the door as he closes it. Looking
at me with lust in his eyes, he starts to breathe heavy. He stalks
over to me and I back up and hit the bed. Standing in front of me
now, I look up at him. As he kisses me, he pushes me onto the bed
until he is lying on top of me.
As our tongue’s dance together he
brings his right hand up and cups my breast. He squeezes it then it
makes his way over to the other to give it equal attention. I pull
away from our kiss and bend my head back and moan, “UHHHHH.” He
takes this opportunity to suckle my neck, so I lean my head to the
right to give him more room. He starts kissing me down the side of
my neck to my collarbone and whispers, “You have too many clothes
on again.”
I push against his chest until he
moves up. We both get up and remove our clothes hastily. We jump
back into bed laughing. He moves on top of me, cups my face with
his hands and looks into my eyes. “You are the most beautiful
woman. I am so glad I found you and I will never let you go,” he
says with tears in his eyes.
With my eyes watering now, I grab his
face and pull him to me and crush my lips against his. As we kiss,
he begins rubbing my right breast then pinching my nipple. I moan
into his mouth.
His hand leaves my breast and moves
down my body, slowly. It reaches my opening and he begins to rub me
there. My hips buck in his hand as he takes his thumb and starts
circling my nub, as he continues to rub me. I break from the kiss
and look up to the ceiling, then close my eyes.
“Ugh, Jesse, more, more please. Ugh,”
I say withering underneath him. I reach down and take his cock in
my hand and rub my thumb over the head, wiping off the semen that
has seeped from the tip. My hand follows his big shaft to the
bottom and I squeeze it all the way back up to the top.
He lets out a loud groan and looks
down at me with the sexiest look on his face. “Ah, baby, you’re
gonna make me come too soon. I want to be inside you when I come,”
he says looking at me with his eyes half-mast.
He reaches over to the night stand,
getting a condom out. He rips it open with his teeth. He sits up,
in between my legs, and quickly sheaths his cock. Before he resumes
his previous position on top of me he looks at me and slides a
finger inside my core. I buck and arch my back. “OHHHH my God! That
feels so good!” I yell.
He puts another finger in me, crooking
them, hitting my g-spot. OH, MY GOD! I start to see dots in front
of my eyes, my body shaking.
Next thing I know he is back on top of
me and thrusts his cock inside me. I slowly open my eyes and look
at him. He is so beautiful. His eyes are full of love and they are
looking into mine as he moves. I meet his thrusts and we find a
rhythm together. He starts sucking on my right nipple and fondling
my left breast as he continues to bring me closer and closer to the
brink.
“Come for me, baby. Come with me,” he
whispers and that’s all it took. I yell out his name over and over
as he yells out mine and we fall together.
