Annie leaned forward to rest a hand on his arm, but he jerked back, and she let her hand fall. “We do have something special, Tommy. You mean the world to me. I love you.”
“But you’re fucking her!” He yelled, pointing back at the house, trembling. Annie glanced back that way, as he continued. “You still chose HER over me. How could you do this to me?” He let out a long sigh as his head fell to his chest.
This time when Annie rested her hand on his arm he didn’t jerk away, she leaned in to hold him. “Tommy, honey, I love you. You're amazing." She paused, taking a deep breath. “And Marti is my best friend.”
He pulled back a little to glare at her. “Marti? Your best friend? How can you say that? Is she your best friend or your girlfriend? What about us? What the hell am I? What about our engagement? Our life together?"
Annie started to talk, but Marti rushed out the door. "See y'all later!" She said, sniffling, her voice cracking as she ran down the drive to her car. She didn’t know if they heard her, and at that moment, she didn’t care. It was late and she wanted to be alone. This was way more drama than she had bargained for.
“Well, Annie, what about us?" Tommy asked again, glaring at Annie watching Marti leave. She looked up at him. “What?” she raised her voice a little, “What, Tommy, what about us? I’m sorry. I love you, what do you want me to do? Get on my knees and beg?"
“No, honey, I just-“ He put his arms out and she moved into them, shivering against his hard chest. He hugged her, and bent down to kiss her head. Tears falling down his face. "Annie, oh Annie, how could you do this? What would I do if I lost you? “
He was so big next to her and she wanted that safe feeling again, the warm feeling she had every time he held her. The feeling she may never have again if he didn’t forgive her.
Annie hugged him back to her, her whole inside cold. Clutching him to her, Annie pressed her face to Tommy’s chest and began to cry. She would do this. She would be with him. She loved him.
Annie guiltily thought of Marti as he held her in his arms. She would let Marti go. She would talk to her tomorrow. She wanted to be the best wife for Tommy. He wouldn't have to work. The house is almost finished. They could spend their days in marital bliss. She would show him what a good girl she was.
Tommy placed his hand on her back and gently eased her through the door. "Go shower and wash that girl off of you. I'm tired." She was shivering from the night air and her nipples were poking through her shirt. She quickly crossed her arms and covered them. She didn't want Tommy to think she was still turned on by Marti. Marti? Shit! Where's Marti? She was too afraid to ask.
Tommy headed toward the kitchen as she ascended the stairs. He grabbed a beer and chugged it down with a whiskey chaser. He got on his knees and looking up, he prayed out loud. ”God, I love her, please forgive her, I will, and Lord, I pray for your blessings for my future wife, our children, our home and our marriage. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen." He drank another shot of whiskey and then another. He turned and went upstairs.
Chapter 17
Annie had already showered and cleaned up her bedroom a bit when Tommy opened the door. She was scared of what he was going to say. Was the fight over? Had Marti came home? She wasn't about to ask.
Tommy took a quick shower and crawled into bed with Annie. He nuzzled up next to her and whispered in her ear "I love you, Annie; you are the most precious thing in my life. I’m sorry I cursed and yelled at you. I love you and don’t ever forget that" he caressed her tummy giving her goose bumps. She wondered if he was going to make love to her after all he saw. What did he see? She didn’t want to know.
Tommy leaned over and kissed her lips gently, she could taste the whiskey on him as he licked her bottom lip, biting it gently. She flinched "What? Marti never do that to you?”
"Tommy, stop!"
"Sorry, baby, I just can’t get y’all out of my head. You were enjoying it so much I wanted to throw up. My lady in bed with another woman. It sickens me. Aren't I enough for you? Are you sure you love me?"
"Yes, honey, I do. I do love you, more than you will ever know. And you are enough. I’m truly sorry for what happened. Things just got out of hand. I'll never do it again. Promise."
She felt his manhood getting hard and she reached down to stroke it. I know, she thought, he can’t say anything about Marti now. She leaned down and put his cock in her mouth. Tommy let out a low throaty moan as she licked his shaft, twirling her tongue around the bulbous head. She stroked his length with both hands up and down, up and down, while her mouth was sucking the tip. She could feel his body tighten up and she increased her speed just a little, while one hand moved down to caress his sac. Her pussy getting wetter and wetter with every stroke.
Tommy reached down and pulled her leg to twist her around, so her pussy was on top of his face. No, she thought, she didn’t want that, she wanted to please him, but it was too late, he had already inserted his big finger inside her, filling her up as she eagerly sucked his cock. Her hand on his sac, gently caressing and sucking. His hand was entangled in her hair and he was pumping her mouth, his tongue swirling her clit, he moaned a throaty growl, his body tightened as she took him to the edge. He suddenly stopped. She lifted her head "What?"
“Honey, come here, he said, “I don’t wanna finish just yet.” She lifted her head and scooted around to him. Her body trembling with passion for this man that she loved.
"What honey, just tell me what you want." she wanted to jump on his enormous cock, but thought twice about it.
"I want you, darling; all of you” as he turned her over on her hands and knees and started licking her slit from behind. He reached under her and found her nipples, hard and wanting. His tongue moved to her ass and she gasped. Oh my! Did he want that? With that huge cock? I don’t know if I can. Shit! I have to; I have to let him know he can have all of me.
His expert tongue moved in and around her tight opening. He pinched and rolled her nipples. She let out a little moan. Words were not needed as his tongue licked and toyed with her ass. He gently dipped his little finger covered in her wetness inside the tight little hole to relax it a bit, massaging her muscles while his other fingers danced on her swollen nub. Annie moaned, she was scared and excited at the same time.
He leaned over and grabbed a foil packet and bottle of lube from the drawer. Ripping the condom open with his teeth, he rolled it down the shaft. Squirting a generous amount of lube into his hand, he slicked himself up with the goo, returning his hand to her ass and rubbing some around the entrance. He didn’t want to hurt her and he wanted her to be nice and ready.
God, she was hot. Her perfect ass in the air. Tommy slid his dick up and down her wet slit as he gently placed his thumb on her bottom and massaged it some more. He lightly stuck the tip of his lubricated finger in the tight pucker, Annie jumped. He slowly slid it in and out and slid it back in loosening her up. She moaned, this felt better than she thought.
He pulled his hand away and held her hips as he gently pushed the slick head onto the entrance. She flinched "Ahh! Fuck!" She cried out.
He stopped; slowly letting her expand as he tenderly teased her hole with the head. As her body was getting used to the feel of it, his hand moved up to caress her back. Her skin was hot and she wiggled her ass, pushing it slightly towards him, letting a bit more of him inside her.
Her pussy was aching for release and as he pressed a little deeper, waves of pleasure drowned out any pain she felt and she pushed her ass back farther to take more of him in. “Fuck!” Tommy bent over to kiss her back “Patience, baby, I don’t want to hurt you.” “Do it, honey, I’m ready” she whispered.
He kissed her back as he gently slid the whole length of his cock deep inside her ass. They both let out a groan, the hot pleasure she felt as he filled her up was incredible. The tightness of her ass on his dick was nothing he had ever experienced before.
She laid her head on a pillow and grabbed her ass cheeks, spreading herself apart for him. He
r body trembling as Tommy reached around her and found her clit, swollen and begging for his fingers. He placed two fingers on her pussy, rubbing the engorged bud on each side as he slid in and out of her ass, increasing the speed as her tight hole relaxed, taking him all in. Annie was incredible.
Tommy grabbed her behind hard and thrust his cock deep inside her again and again, faster and harder as his whole body exploded in a mind blowing orgasm. “Oh, Annie,” he yelled as his whole body tightened up. He shuddered and Annie could feel his manhood throbbing as his hot come filled her insides.
Annie came forcefully, grinding her clit on his fingers while his cock pumped into her burning ass. Her head was spinning, her body on fire from the orgasm that ripped through her belly.
They both fell over, exhausted, and she started to cry. He held her tight and gently slid out of her. He turned her around facing him, kissing the tears off her face.
""What’s wrong baby, did I hurt you?"
"No honey, you are just the most amazing man ever. I love you so much," as she ran her fingers through his hair, pulled him closer and kissed him. She knew she made the right choice. He knew he did, too.
It was 4 am and Marti wasn’t home.
Chapter 18
Annie slept in, the emotions of the night before still heavy on her mind. Tommy had left her a note saying he had gone into the city for a couple of hours, he wanted to let her sleep and to text him when she woke up. Her body ached. Her butt ached. Her head ached. She needed some coffee and a shower.
She slipped on her robe and went down stairs to the kitchen to put the pot on then padded back upstairs to Marti’s room to wake her and have the dreaded talk. Marti wasn't there. "Marti! Are you here? Marti? Hello? Anyone here?"
Annie rushed downstairs, she heard the men working outside but Marti was nowhere to be found. She must have stayed out all night. Annie went and poured herself a cup of coffee, delighted in the aroma of the fresh brew. She put it to her lips, savoring the flavor and thought about Marti. She was sure she was pissed about the whole ordeal.
Why didn’t she get along with Tommy? Did something happen between them? She grabbed her cell phone and called Marti’s number, it went straight to voicemail. "Marti, its Annie, call me when you get this message."
She went into Marti’s room and started searching for something, anything that might tell her where Marti went or who she was with. Who were her friends? She had been so obsessed with Annie that Marti hadn't even seen anyone else the whole time she had been here.
Annie rummaged through her dresser, looking for any notes, addresses, phone numbers, something that told of Marti’s life when she wasn’t at the ranch.
She found an envelope tucked neatly away in her top drawer. Annie reached for it, and pulled out the contents. There were some pictures in the envelope. Annie started thumbing through them.
She smiled. There was an old picture of Marti and her dad when she was a baby. A couple of old pictures of them in elementary school. What is this? Is that Tommy? She looked at it again, not believing what she saw. She put her hand over her mouth and gasped. On the bottom of the stack were pictures of Marti and Tommy, obviously together, obviously more than just friends. She fell to the floor, her back against the wall. So this is what she had been hiding. This is why Marti didn’t want her and Tommy together. Tommy had been her man before Annie moved back.
Why didn’t she tell her? Why didn’t HE tell her? No wonder Marti was so snotty to him. What happened? Did she break them up? No. He was single when they reconnected. Neither one of them ever mentioned their past.
Annie hesitated before she picked up the phone again. Where was Tommy now? He said he was going into the city, but did he? Was he with Marti? So many questions raced through her mind.
She called Tommy.
“Hello baby! You’re awake? I’m on my way home right now. I have a big surprise for you!”
“Uh, okay, Have you seen Marti?”
“No, why would I have seen Marti, Isn’t she there?” he asked, frustrated that she wasn’t interested in her surprise.
“Just asking, honey, see you in a bit. I love you. Be careful. Bye.”
Annie was tapping her fingers on the dresser...think, think, think, where would she be? Shit Marti. Where are you?
Annie called her again. Voicemail. Left a message.
Tommy finally drove up while Annie was on the porch, texting Marti again. He walked up to her with a huge bouquet of roses and some shopping bags filled to the brim. “Hey sexy lady, these are for you.” As he bent down to kiss her cheek. She hurriedly glanced at him and then back down to her phone. “Hey,” as he lifted her chin up to look in her eyes. “I’m up here. What’s wrong? What’s going on?”
"I can't find Marti. She's gone. I can't find her and I'm scared something has happened to her."
"Are you sure? Did you call her mama? You know her mama lives in town?"
"I called her mama; I yelled for her by the peach trees, I called and texted her a hundred times. I know she's mad and heartbroken, but I wanted to talk to her and explain us, and now I am afraid something has happened to her." Not even thinking about the pictures in her room.
"Okay, honey,” he pulled her into his arms, “we’ll find her. Let me call dispatch and put out an APB." As he held her in his arms, he pulled out his phone and called it in.
Annie started crying hysterically, her body shaking and trembling. He held her tighter. She was his woman and no matter what happened, she would always be his love.
She cried. Cried about the two lives she had changed, her two broken hearted lovers she had hurt. Two people who did nothing but love her and show her an amazing wild side of her that she didn't even know existed.
As she composed herself, still in his arms, looking up at him, she thought about the pictures of them. The money in the trust he didn’t even know about. The whole bi-sex with Marti and Tommy watching them. All the lying, cursing, crying, hurt and pain over the last few days. She wondered if it was all worth it. Was he worth it?
She wriggled out of his arms, “Tommy, go, just go.”
“Wha -?”
“Go! I don’t want you here. Go away!”
“Annie, I –“
“Go away!” she screamed and ran into the house, flew up the stairs and slammed the door. Tommy was heartbroken. Walking down the steps, he wiped his tears, jumped into his truck, put on some George Strait and drove away.
