Caleb's Woman

by Eve Vaughn

His nails, now sharpened to claws, dug deeper into her, breaking the skin. Hovering on the threshold of pleasure and pain, Sommer screamed her release as her pussy gushed with juices. “Yes! Oh God, yes!” Tears streamed down her face, but this time from the overwhelming sensations coursing through her body. He’d taken her body on a roller coaster ride of lust and uncontrollable passion.

  Caleb wasn’t finished with her yet, however. He continued to plow into her pussy, making growling sounds in the back of his throat. “This cunt belongs to me. No one else. It’s mine, isn’t it, Sommer?”

  “Yes,” she whispered, too weak to say it in a louder voice.

  “Uh!” He grunted with one powerful thrust before filling her with a stream of his come. Caleb held on tight and released a howl from the back of his throat.

  Sommer thought he would be done with her then, but Caleb had other ideas. He slowly backed away from her, his cock popping out of her with a wet slushy sound. Emptiness seared within her core at being separated from him. She missed being one with him. Sommer didn’t have long to ponder on the feeling for long before his fingers replaced where his dick had been.

  Pushing in and out of her for a few brief strokes, he then spread her cheeks and placed his damp digits against the puckered ring of her anus.

  Sommer stiffened, instinctively knowing what he wanted. In their time as lovers, there had been ass play, but she had never been completely comfortable with full on anal. Deep down, she’d known Caleb had wanted it, but he’d never pressed her for it, which is one of the many reasons she loved him. Tonight he wasn’t taking no for an answer, and as turned on as she was, Sommer wasn’t sure she wanted to stop him.

  She inhaled sharply as he shoved a finger knuckle deep into her rear, then pulled out to the fingertip. He moistened her anal cavity with his slick digit, pumping in and out until she was panting with need. Caleb added yet another finger, stretching, lubing and readying her for his dick, making her want him and driving her insane.

  “Caleb, please,” she whimpered as she clenched her fists, willing herself to remain as immobile as possible. Her body was racked with uncontrollable quivers of passion.

  Caleb stilled. “Please what, Sommer? Please fuck your ass?”

  She nodded her head.

  A throaty laugh tore from his throat. “You’re going to have to do better than that, my dear.”

  She licked her lips, hesitating only a moment before giving him what he wanted. “Please fuck my ass! Fuck me now!”

  “Now you’re getting it.” He removed his fingers from inside of her bottom and placed the tip of her cock against her back entrance.

  Sommer tensed, anticipating that it would hurt. To her surprise, Caleb leaned over and gently nipped the back of her neck. “Relax, Sommer.” He pressed light kisses on her shoulder blades, sending shivers up and down her spine. Here was the man she was so desperately in love with, the one she spent years secretly worshiping from afar. She wanted him to take her now—needed it.

  “Caleb, please, now.”

  Without another word, he straightened up and grasped her waist. With one swift thrust, he drove his cock deep into her ass.

  Sommer bit her bottom lip, drawing blood to stop herself from crying out. It almost felt as if he was tearing her apart, but at the core of her ache was a tight ring of pleasure so intense that tumultuous waves of sizzling heat ripped through her very being.

  “Easy, Sommer. It’s okay, baby,” he said softly. Caleb slowly began to move within her, sliding back and forth. “That’s it, baby, give over to me.”

  She found herself pushing against him, her rear meeting his pelvis. “Caleb,” she sighed his name softly.

  He fucked her with vigor, making the table shake and wiggle. “Oh, God, Sommer!” He cried out as he came in her again before leaning over and kissing the side of her face and neck. Breathing ragged, he rested on her, whispering romantic words. “You’re so beautiful, so wonderful.”

  Caleb lay over her for several minutes and Sommer reveled in the feeling of his heartbeat pressed against her body. She welcomed the weight of him on top of her. A comfortable silence fell between the two of them.

  Finally, he stood up once again and eased out of her. Then Caleb grasped her shoulders, pulling Sommer upright and then turning her around.

  She expected to see some of the anger he’d displayed earlier, but instead, lurking within the depths of his deep blue eyes was tenderness. She wanted to take away all the cruel things she said to him, but did she dare?

  “Caleb, I—”

  He shook his head. “Shh. Don’t say anything else. If you want this to be over between us, then at least give me this night.” And with that, he lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bathroom. He placed Sommer back on her feet to turn on the shower head. He stepped into the stall and held his hand out to her.

  Feeling shy all of a sudden, she placed her trembling hand into his. Caleb pulled her against him, crushing her mouth against his. Their tongues danced and swirled around each other’s, tasting and reveling in each other’s flavor as droplets of water rained over their heads.

  Caleb was the one to break off the kiss, leaving her breathless. Taking a step back, his gaze raked the length of her body from head to toe. She shivered from awareness. The appreciative gleam in his hungry stare curled her toes with a wanton need to be taken by him yet again.

  Sommer wasn’t sure how long they stood still, staring at each other. Finally, Caleb grabbed the body wash and squirted a dollop into his hand and replaced it on the rack. Lathering his hands, he didn’t break eye contact with her. Sommer moistened her lips as hunger simmered within her core, as she watched him slide his hands along the length of his rock hard dick.

  He was the epitome of male beauty. There wasn’t a single inch of him that she didn’t want to touch or run her fingers along. His muscular sinewy flesh tempted her beyond bounds Sommer didn’t think would be possible to experience. A faint smile curved his sensual lips. “Do you like what you see, Sommer?”

  She could only nod, not trusting herself to speak.

  Caleb chuckled in response, grabbing the body wash and pouring another generous portion in his palm. This time, it was her turn.

  She shivered when his hands gently smoothed the soap into her body in gentle massaging motions. There wasn’t a part of her body where his hands didn’t roam.

  By the time he had soaped her completely, Sommer’s knees were so weak she didn’t think she’d be able to stand. Her pussy contracted and was hot with her lust for him.

  “You’re so beautiful. Come to me, my darling,” he whispered. “I tried to…dear God, I tried, but I…” She wasn’t sure what he was going to say before he abruptly broke off.

  Sommer stepped closer to him, the tips of her soap-slicked breasts touching his chest. She couldn’t stop trembling, she was so overwhelmed with emotion.

  Caleb cupped her rear, grinding his erection against her.

  She threw her arms around his neck as he lifted her into his arms, fitting her dripping pussy over his cock. She was so slick and wet from her juices and soap that his large member easily slid into her hot passage. Sommer locked her legs around his waist, taking him deeper into her.

  This time their joining was tender and sweet. As he moved into her, melding, pressing, holding her, Caleb whispered tender words in her ear. She came swift and hard, her body sagging against his in physical and emotional exhaustion.

  Caleb threw back his head and released a primal howl, signaling his coming orgasm. He shot his load into her, grunting.

  Sommer tightened her pussy muscles around his cock, milking him for every single drop of his seed. Holding on to him tightly, she rested her head against the crook of his shoulder.

  They stood under the spray of the shower for several more minutes before she allowed her feet to touch down again. Caleb leaned over and turned off the shower, then led her out of the stall.

  He toweled her body off with such gentle movements, Sommer
could no longer take it. Where his anger had firmed her resolve to break things off with him, his softness was her undoing. As he wrapped the fluffy towel around her body, she burst into tears.

  Chapter Ten

  Seeing Sommer cry had always been his undoing. When he’d taught her how to ride her bike and she pedaled into a ditch, he remembered holding her as cried in his arms, his heart breaking with each tear that slid down her cheek. She was tough and generally didn’t give in to fits of emotion, but on the rare occasions when she did, it got him every time.

  Cupping her face between his palms, he leaned forward and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Sweetheart, what’s the matter.”

  She sobbed even harder.

  Caleb engulfed her within the folds of his arms, rocking her gently back and forth. “It’s okay. Whatever is on your mind, you can tell me.”

  Her body shuddered and then Sommer hiccupped. “That’s just it. I-I-I can’t talk to you like I used to.”

  Grasping her chin between his thumb and index finger, he tilted her head up so their gazes could meet. “Sommer, it’s me, Caleb. What happened to the Queen of TMI? You used to share every aspect of your life with me…now…there’s a wall between us, and no matter how hard I’ve tried to tear it down, it remains between us. I was an asshole earlier. I shouldn’t have treated you that way, but I was so angry. No. That’s no excuse. For whatever reason you no longer want to be with me, it gave me no right to manhandle you the way I did.”

  She shook her head, her expression forlorn. Sommer placed her hand on the side of his face. “Don’t apologize. I’m the one who should be begging forgiveness. You see, I…I lied. You could never bore me, Caleb. In fact, these past few months since we’ve become lovers have been the happiest times of my life.”

  He tried to make sense of what she was trying to tell him. If anything, he was more confused than ever. One moment she wanted to end things and the next she was expressing how powerful their lovemaking had been. “I’m not understanding this mixed message you’re giving me, Sommer. Do you want to be with me or not? What’s going on?”

  Shaking her head, she shot him a sad little smile. “Caleb, it’s not about what I want.”

  He stroked her hair, wanting desperately for her to reach out to him. “Open up to me, baby.”

  Sommer pulled away from him then and presented her back to him. “No, don’t do that.”

  Caleb lifted a brow, his confusion growing. “Do what?”

  Her shoulders drooped. “Be so tender with me. I can’t take it.”

  “How can I not? I’m nuts about you, and when you told me you wanted us to stop seeing each other, I think I went a little crazy.” He took a deep breath. It was time to lay all his cards on the table. This was his mate, the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his days with, the one he wanted to bear his cubs. His every waking thought was connected to her somehow, and he could no longer go on with the way things were. “Sommer, I love you. I think I always have.”

  Finally, he’d said it and there was no taking the words back.

  She turned sharply then, her soulful brown eyes full of bewilderment. Open-mouthed, she stared at him for several moments as though trying to figure out what to say. Just when he thought she’d remain immobile, she shook her head vehemently. “No. You can’t love me.”

  His brows knitted together in his consternation. “Why the hell can’t I?” Taking a couple of steps to close the gap between the two of them, he grasped her by the forearms. “I love everything about you, Sommer, your smile, your sweet nature, how your eyes twinkle when you’re happy, the way you move, talk and your spirit. You’re the first thought when I wake up and the last before I go to bed. Sometimes I like calling you simply to hear your voice. My soul feels weak when you’re not around and my heart races whenever I see you. Baby, if that’s not love, I don’t know what is.”

  Her eyes glistened with the suspicious sheen of tears. “Caleb…I…I don’t know what to say.”

  “Say you’ll be my mate for life. I love you so much, I ache.”

  She shut her eyes, bowing her head. “I love you too.”

  Caleb found himself grinning like an idiot as his heart sped up and a euphoria like he’d never experienced filled his being. “Darling, that’s wonderful!” Unable to hold back any longer, he crushed her lips beneath his, sampling her sweetness and molding her against his body. His cock stiffened with need for her. For so long he’d daydreamed of this moment, but the reality far outweighed the fantasy. Caleb could hardly stand still, simply knowing she returned his feeling was indescribable.

  Sommer broke the contact of their lips, turning her head away from him. “No, Caleb. This…this isn’t right.”

  “What are you talking about? Nothing has ever felt so right. I love you and you feel the same. What could be more natural than the two of us expressing that emotion together?”

  “I…it’s because I love you that I can’t be with you.”

  “You’re not making sense.”

  A shiver shook her shoulders. “Do you think I can slip into some clothes before we get to this? It’s a little chilly. I’ll make us some coffee.”

  Caleb knew it was a stalling tactic on her part but decided patience would be the best way to handle the situation. Besides, he had no intention of leaving until he got to the bottom of why she felt they shouldn’t be together.

  Several moments later, Sommer placed a steaming mug in front of him on her kitchen table and moved to the counter to pour a cup for herself. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her. What a lovely sight she made. Her hair, left free to dry naturally, was a riot of waves and tight curls framing and showing off the perfect lines of her fine-boned features. The nightshirt she now wore rested mid-thigh, showing off her well-shaped legs. The pink silk material gently skimmed her curves—curves he’d just spent time caressing, licking and sucking.

  His cock stiffened, straining against his pants, aching to break free of its restraints. Caleb wanted her again but knew he needed to bide his time.

  Sommer took the chair across from him, her eyes glued to his bare torso. Red undertones colored the lovely brown skin of her cheeks. Her blush was enough to make him want to throw her on the table and fuck her senseless. Caleb’s grip on his coffee mug tightened. It would take every ounce of his self-control not to do just that.

  A faint smile curved the corners of his mouth. “Are you going to keep staring at my chest or are we going to talk?”

  Her gaze cut away from his. “Sorry,” she mumbled before taking a sip of her coffee.

  “Don’t apologize. I enjoy it when you stare at my body. It turns me on in ways you couldn’t imagine.”

  “Caleb, you’re not going to sidetrack me by flirting.”

  “It’s your fault for being so sexy.”

  “Stop,” she laughed.

  There it was. That smile he’d missed so much.

  “You’d better start talking, sweetheart because I’m giving you fifteen minutes before I carry you to bed and get some more of that sweet pussy of yours.”

  “You’re not making this any easier for me.”

  “And you’re cutting into your time. I’ve never been more serious about anything in my life, so you’d better spill it.”

  She released a deep breath. “I’m not sure where to begin.”

  “How about starting by saying you love me again.”

  Sommer smiled and placed her mug back down. For the first time since they’d entered the kitchen, her gaze met his. “I do love you, Caleb. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t. When…when I said we should end things, I was scared.”

  Caleb’s brows furrowed together. “Scared of what? Sommer, I’ve known you to be many things, but scared was never one of them.”

  “Not when it comes to you. For so long, I’ve been trying to hide my true feelings for you, in hopes you wouldn’t discover how I felt, that it just became a habit. These past several weeks, I didn’t want to open up to you about anything f
or fear of spilling too much.”

  “But what I’m trying to understand is why? If you would have told me you loved me sooner, I would have been dancing on air. I was pretty sure you figured out how I felt for you a long time ago, by the way, I looked at you, couldn’t stop touching you, wanting to be with you every second of every hour. I called you when I was away on business because I couldn’t get through the day without hearing your voice. Surely you knew.”

  She shook her head. “I didn’t have a clue. I was surprised as hell that day in my store when you told me you wanted me. You see, all these years I thought what we had was more of a brother-sister type relationship and I didn’t want to rock the boat by confessing my true feelings for you. It knocked me for six to hear you say those words to me, but then when you held me in your arms, it was like heaven.”

  “Then why were you hesitant about starting a relationship with me?”

  “Because I knew your track record. When you start an affair, it’s over within weeks. You’ve dated some of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. There’s nothing so special about myself to make me think I would be any different from those other women, so I shut myself off emotionally, content to simply be your lover until you grew tired of me like the rest. But then it got too hard to hold everything in. I wanted to save myself the humiliation of telling you how I felt because I thought things would be awkward if I told you I loved you and you didn’t return the sentiment.”

  Caleb stood up then, walked over and knelt beside her. He took her hand in his, hoping she could read his feeling for her in his facial expression. “None of those women were you, Sommer. They never lasted because you were the one I wanted. While I find it disconcerting you felt I would treat you so callously, I want you to know I would never do anything to hurt you. I mean for you to be my life mate.”

  She cupped the side of his face, a smile touching her full lips. “That sounds like my wildest dreams come true, Caleb, but I don’t think that would be a good idea. We’re probably better off simply remaining lovers.”
