Visions Of The Past

by Elizabeth Mahood

  Cade slid the straps of her bra down her shoulders and she arched her back so he could unhook her bra. Ellie’s two beautiful breasts popped out and Cade immediately had his mouth over one perky nipple. She arched again and a long sigh escaped her lips. His other hand came up to pluck and caress her other nipple causing her to writhe and buck under him more.

  “Cade, oh God please.” Ellie cried. There was nothing more that he wanted than to get them both naked and take her hard and fast. But she needed him to be gentle. There would be plenty of time for the rest, at least he hoped there would be.

  “Easy my girl. Just enjoy it.” Cade stated. He continued to torture her hard nipples as she moaned and cried out beneath him. He moved down her body reaching the yoga pants she had on, pulling them down in one swift move taking her undergarments and shoes with them. She lay naked on his army cot in the deer blind, looking more beautiful than he had ever expected. Fear was in her eyes and she was shaking.

  “Are you ok?” Cade asked. She nodded.

  “Yes.” She said on shaky breath. “What, what are you doing?” She asked as he moved just above her sensitive spot. He smiled at her before moving lower.

  “Showing you what it’s like to be intimate.” He stated as he moved forward to taste her. She slammed her legs shut and he looked up at her.

  “No.” She said loudly with a look of horror on her face. He stopped and felt his heart beating in his chest.

  “You don’t want me to?” He asked. She swallowed hard and closed her eyes.

  “I…I mean that is…No one.” She tried to hide her face. He moved up to her and took her face in his hands.

  “I’m not going to hurt you Ellie, but if you don’t want me to I won’t. I promise I will take this as slow as you want.” Cade said with compassion. He watched indecision play across her face and then felt her relax and her legs slid open once again.

  “Ok.” She said breathlessly. He nodded, kissed her softly and moved back down her body, kissing every inch of skin he could. He could feel her shiver and then heard her let out a long sigh when he found the spot he had been waiting to touch since he was 16. He tasted and feasted on her until he felt her buck and try to clinch her legs together.

  “Oh God Cade.” She moaned. He chuckled against her sensitive area but continued to please her.

  “Shhh...Ellie or my father will think I’m out here torturing you.” He whispered. He moved in once again and she bucked.

  “Oh, I think you are Cade, oh please.” She begged. A few more movements with his tongue and she was screaming wildly, pulling on his hair which completely turned him on, and moving her hips up into an arch and then slowly lowered herself back down to meet the camping cot. Her legs shook and she was panting. Cade moved up next to her and ran a hand lightly over her bare sweat sheen skin. She shivered at his touch and had her eyes closed but the look on her face was pure bliss. Finally, she slowly opened her eyes to look at him.

  “Wow, that…that was amazing. I never knew.” She said shaking her head back and forth. He smiled at her and kissed her nose.

  “There is more but I’d like to save that for your place or mine. I don’t want our first time to be here in the deer blind no matter what you say. It’s, not…well it’s just not proper.” She held her lips together trying not to laugh, then a loud laugh came bursting out of her mouth. He scowled at her but she continued to chuckled.

  “Proper. I don’t think what we did just now was proper but I definitely am a fan. I would like to explore the more part.” Then suddenly she sat up. “But Cade, it won’t be at my place.” She said with a look of worry. Cade kissed her breast as she turned to look at him.

  “Why not.” He asked. He tried to reach for the other one but she batted him away and stood up starting to look for her clothes. “Wait, why not. What’s wrong, something else happen?” Cade asked now worried himself. She stopped and turned to face him as she started to dress.

  “Well…I originally tried to call you because…because someone threw bricks through my windows.” She said quickly then turned around to look for her shoes. Cade stood up so fast he hit his head on the ceiling of the deer blind.

  “Ow…fuck. Ellie why didn’t you tell me that when you first got here.” Cade said rubbing his head and grabbing for her arm at the same time. She pulled away and sat to put on her shoes.

  “Well, I wanted to tell you about my past and then we…well you know.” She said blushing and continued to tie her shoes. Cade moved to sit next to her and stopped her from what she was doing.

  “You should have told me. Someone is trying to hurt you and that is more important than what we just did.” He stated, a little louder than he meant to. She pulled back and looked hurt. Shit. “Ellie, I liked what we did and trust me I want more but you are more important than anything. I’m going over there.” Cade stated, standing and grabbing his coat. He helped her down the ladder and led her to his truck. After telling his parents they were leaving, he drove her back to her house. Once there, he took her in the house after first going through and making sure no one else was there.

  “Grab your stuff. I’m done arguing with you about this place. It is now a crime scene, so you have no choice but to leave or be arrested for entering a crime scene illegally.” He said with authority. She crossed her arms and he pulled out his cuffs. He meant it. He watched her blush and he knew what she was thinking. Finally, she uncrossed her arms with a look of defeat.

  “Fine. You win.” She stated. She moved towards the bedroom but Cade grabbed her arm to stop her.

  “It’s not about winning Ellie, it’s about your safety. I care about you.” He stated. They held each other’s eyes momentarily and her eyes softened. She nodded and he let go. While she was packing, Cade took pictures of the bricks laying on the floor of Ellies small cottage. One was painted red and said “Go Home Bitch or Die” and the other said “You aren’t wanted here. You will burn.” Cade felt sick to his stomach. Ellie had been home alone. If they had wanted to hurt her, they could have. This was just a scare tactic but the next time…he didn’t even want to think about it. He was going to take Ellie to the B & B, come back here and help his deputies work the scene. There had to be some kind of tire tracks or something that could lead them to whomever did this. A few moments later, Ellie was packed and ready to go. They drove in silence and he knew she was mad at him.

  “Ellie I’m sorry. I know you tried and we can still fix it up and sell it if that is what you want. I just think you are safer here than out there all alone with no protection.” She didn’t say anything at first but then turned to look at him with a sigh.

  “I know. I thought I could do it by myself but this town, I should never have come back.” She stated sadly and then turned back. Cade felt hurt. He couldn’t believe that Ellie had shared her past with him and that she had started to trust him. He had thought maybe, just maybe after their intimate moment in the deer blind, that she might consider staying but now he wasn’t so sure. He got her checked into the bed and breakfast and told her he would be back later. As soon as she closed the door, he heard it lock. It rang loud in his ears as though she had just locked him out of her heart.

  Ellie stepped out of the hot steaming shower feeling like a brand-new woman. After Cade had forced her to pack and leave the house, she had decided that putting a wall up between them was for the best. But after he left, the feeling of emptiness that she always had returned as well as the voices. There was something about Cade that made her feel like a whole person. Like that piece of the puzzle you finally find on the floor to complete the picture. What he had done to her at the deer blind had been incredible. She knew she had been missing out but had no idea what all the fuss had been about. Ellie tingled thinking about the way he had touched her with his mouth and hands and she thought maybe a cold shower might have been better than the hot one. She flopped down on the soft comfy bed in her pink fluffy robe and threw several thick pillows behind her head. She picke
d up her grandmother’s journals and started reading. After reading the same line several times she threw it down and blew out in frustration.

  “Come on Ellie, you don’t have time for this.” She said to herself. She needed to think about the case, getting her grandmother’s cottage fixed up and getting back to Seattle. She needed to call Karen and check in with her but it was already midnight there. Just as she was about to drift off, a soft knock came on the door and Ellie jumped from the bed, checked herself in the mirror and adjusted her robe. She took a deep breath and blew out before opening the door. Cade stood on the other side of the door with a deep scowl on his face.

  “Seriously.” He shouted, shoving her back inside, slamming the door. “You didn’t even look through the peep hole. I could have been your attacker just waiting for you to open up the door.” He stated stomping around her room. He finally stopped to look at her and his eyes roamed all over her body, down her bare legs and then back up to her face. His hands were on his hips and his eyes were in a deep furrow. God he was hot. She moved forward and threw her arms around his neck, pulling him down to meet her lips. He hesitated at first but then she felt his arms snake around her waist and pull her flush with him. His tongue delved into her mouth over and over just like he had done to other areas of her body and it made her pool with wetness between her legs. She moaned deep and she felt him pushing her back towards the bed. He collapsed on top of her and her robe flopped open exposing one breast and most of her thighs.

  “You are so fucking beautiful Ellie. I’m sorry I yelled. I don’t want anything to happen to you.” He said leaning down to run his tongue along her neck, down her collar bone and back up to her lips.

  “I know.” She said breathlessly. She wanted him inside her, she wanted his hands on her and his mouth anywhere he pleased. “Cade, please.” She said wiggling under him. She felt him untie her robe and slide the material off of her body exposing every inch of her. Suddenly she realized, she hadn’t seen him naked at all. “Wait.” She shouted. He looked at her with desperation but she smiled at him coyly.

  “I am trying to be a gentlemen Ellie but a man can only take so much.” He stated desperately. She giggled.

  “I…I haven’t seen you naked. You got to do stuff to me but I didn’t get to please you. I have wanted to touch your bare chest since that day you got wet at my house.” She stated, feeling her cheeks burn with her confession. His heated gaze bore into her.

  “Oh, well if lady wants to see the goods before moving forward, who am I to deny her the pleasure.” Cade stated. Ellie wanted to jump for joy. He stood quickly leaving her feel cold and empty without his touch. He started unbuttoning his shirt but he was moving to slow for her liking. She moved up to her knees, shoved his hands away and ripped at the buttons of his shirt, sending buttons flying all over her room. Cade chuckled deeply. “Down girl.” Ellie moved forward and practically was drooling over the tanned skin, impressive muscle tone and the small smattering of hair that speckled his chest and moved down below his belt line. She ran her hands all over his warm skin and around his small nipples which tightened beneath her touch. She leaned down and used her tongue to bring one into her mouth and the tickle it with her tongue.

  “Mmm.” Ellie said barely recognizing her own voice. A low growl came from deep inside Cade’s chest.

  “Ellie…fuck” He said, running his hands through her hair and throwing his head back. She continued to torture him and then continued on her journey down his belly to his jeans. Once there, she popped the button of his jeans, unzipped the zipper and in one swift movement, pulled them down to his knees. To her surprise, he wore no underwear and what stood before her was like nothing she had ever seen. She raised an eyebrow at him as his erection grew under her gaze.

  “No underwear?” She asked as she ran her hands down his muscular back to his even more muscular ass which tightened under her touch. He was breathing heavy and just as she was about to touch him, he grabbed her by the arms and pulled her up.

  “No, I want to be inside of you for this. There is plenty of time for that but I won’t last if you do that right now.” He said on shaky breath. She giggled as he pushed her back onto the bed and landed softly between her legs. She could feel his hardness against her sensitive wet spot and she arched her back to try and guide him into her. “Slow baby, nice and slow.” He stated, sounding as though he was trying not to lose control.

  “Now Cade, please I want you now.” She cried. She wrapped her legs around his waist and felt him push himself into her deeper and deeper. It was slightly uncomfortable at first. It had been a few years. She did things to herself to satisfy the urge but nothing like this.

  “Fuck Ellie you are so tight. Holy shit I have to take it easy or I am going to lose it.” Cade said on a growl. Ellie wiggled beneath him.

  “Don’t take it easy Cade. I want you please.” She begged. That was all he needed. He pulled back and then thrust into her hard. After a few slower thrusts, he started moving faster and faster. She felt herself building up and then easing off, over and over with his sweet punishing rhythm. Finally, he pushed a hand between them and flicked her sensitive spot just enough to push her over the edge. She felt herself explode as his mouth came down over hers. She moaned and cried into his mouth as he continued to pump into her over and over. One last hard thrust and she felt him spill into her, filling her with his seed and ruining her for any other man for the rest of her life.

  Chapter 12

  Cade lay snuggled up next to Ellie in the bed at the Bed and Breakfast. He should have left after the last time but her warm body and soft kisses was too much to resist. Now she was sleeping soundly, wrapped around his body and there was no way he could leave. He would have to be careful about leaving for work in a few hours. Ellie had enough trouble with the people in town without drawing attention to their relationship. Was it a relationship though? The sex had been better than he ever imagined, and he had imagined it a lot. But as good as it was, he still didn’t know that much about her and with the case he was worried about compromising his job because of a relationship. He felt her snuggle deeper and made a sighing noise that made his damn penis twitch and start to grow. What the hell was wrong with him? The other thing that was bothering him at 4 am was that he hadn’t used a condom. He had been so angry with her when she flung open the door with not a care in the world but when had caught a glimpse of what she was wearing, or rather not wearing, all he could think about was what she looked like underneath. Then she made the moves on him and he was done. It wasn’t until the last time he finally came to his senses and put on a condom. She hadn’t said a word so he assumed that she was on birth control, but what if she wasn’t. He liked the idea of Ellie having his baby but he didn’t want her like that and what if she decided to take the baby back to Seattle.

  He shook his head because he was starting to panic about something that probably wasn’t going to happen. She stirred next to him again.

  “I can hear you thinking.” She said sleepily. She turned towards him and draped an arm and her long soft leg over his body. He squeezed her and then ran a hand up and down her back softly. She kissed his chest and he was instantly hard. He closed his eyes and tried to think of anything but wanting to throw her on her back and take her again.

  “Ellie, we didn’t use a condom. I mean, at least the first 3 times.” He said trying to be humorous but not really feeling it. She turned her head up to look at him but he couldn’t read her eyes. Finally, she smiled.

  “It’s fine. I…I can’t have kids anyway.” She said matter of fact. He watched her face but she was serious.

  “Ever? Like no kids at all?” Cade asked almost feeling mournful for the child he had just been thinking about. She shook her head.

  “That’s what the doctors said. When Terrance attacked me, he pretty much messed up all of that.” She said with a small laugh. She started to move her hands around his scar from his army days and he stopped her. She looked at him as he kissed her
hand. “Does it hurt?” She asked. He watched her and knew that she was trying to change the subject. He didn’t know why he cared so much. A lot of people adopted but the idea of not being able to have a child of his own, bothered him. Was it a deal breaker? He didn’t know.

  “Sometimes it does. But we weren’t talking about me.” He said. She turned away and pulled the covers over her naked body like she was ashamed. He moved behind her to spoon her. “Hey, I don’t care. I just wanted to know. I don’t know what is happening here and I just wanted to know if we were going to have any surprises. I don’t care Ellie.” He said. Suddenly at that moment, with her in his arms looking so vulnerable, he was telling her the truth. She turned back to look at him.

  “You don’t? I mean, I did at first but I guess I just got into the job and realized it wasn’t a priority for me. Besides, I wouldn’t want to pass on these damn visions to my daughter anyway.” She said half-heartedly. Cade kissed her softly and she turned to face him once again.

  “I just want you and whatever comes with it. We need to discuss work because I don’t want to put you in a bad spot with your FBI buddies or people in this town. I also don’t want your attackers to know where you are staying.” Cade said watching worry lines crease her brow.

  “I don’t give a shit what the FBI jerks say I don’t work for them and as long as we are professional and do our jobs, they can just fuck off.” Ellie said with fire in her eyes. Cade chuckled.

  “Okay, damn baby. I wouldn’t want to piss you off.” Cade said squeezing her tight. He felt her leg hook over his and pull him closer, his erection bumping up against her stomach. He felt her hand dip beneath the covers.

  “As for this town, I don’t give a rip about what anyone thinks, but I know you are the sheriff and have a reputation to uphold, so we should leave separately for now.” She said as she wrapped her warm hand around his shaft and started moving it up and down. Cade closed his eyes and felt her drop warm kisses along his chest and neck.
