‘He’s just so happy not to have to commit. He’s a strange one,’ Cassie commented.
Kayden picked her up, pretending to carry her over the threshold even though they weren’t home. Lovingly gazing into her eyes he smiled. ‘He will find you one day and it will blow his mind. Before I held you for the first time I was exactly like him. I never wanted a woman around for companionship. I always considered them obnoxious, annoying even and only good for one thing.’ Sitting her on the bed, he bent down to take off her clothes. ‘Then you came into my life like a whirlwind and shook me to the core. I couldn’t get enough of you.’ Unzipping her, he slipped off her dress. ‘I remember the first time I held you,’ he began to divulge, while hanging up her dress. ‘I thought I was feeling an angel and right there, that minute, I never wanted to let you go.’ Coming back to her, he pulled the comb from her hair, kissing her neck.
Cassie turned shyly. ‘I didn’t know I was your first love. I thought with your hunky body and face you would have lost yourself in love many times over considering your age. Pardon the pun, old man.’
Standing up, he removed his clothes. ‘Only once, and I’ve just married her. Now come here and I’ll show you old man. I’m going to kiss, lick and love you till dawn, gorgeous!’
She chuckled and jumped up on him so quickly that he only just caught her, falling back on the bed with her, both laughing. Cassie quietened down first and moved his hand down so he could slip off her knickers. He suddenly went from being jovial and mucking around to a quivering mess. She knew he’d wanted her since their wedding vows. All he whispered out next was her name before he claimed her lips and his hot sweet passion swept them both away. He drew a lust from her that she never knew before. He was attentive and loving, leaving no part of her unloved. Cassie wondered if every couple experienced such a sense of throwing caution to the wind on their wedding night. Nothing more to hide, just the raw need for each other that pushed the boundaries well beyond the limits to an experience she could never have imagined.
United Amusement—Day One
Cassie could hear ringing. Shaking herself she grabbed for the phone.
Hanging up, she rolled back into Kayden. ‘It’s just the guys giving us a wakeup call. They said they don’t care if we’re newlyweds or not, if we don’t get ourselves downstairs in half an hour they’re all coming up to drag us out.’
She groaned and kissed Kayden’s sleepy face. She threw the sheet back and sprang happily out of bed, throwing herself under a hot shower.
Kayden begrudgingly joined her, still groggy and tired. ‘You were a knockout last night, honey. I’m still getting chills,’ he said quietly in her ear as his hands started to roam happily.
She giggled and slapped him playfully. ‘The gang’s going to be here knocking at our door any minute.’ She slipped out from his arms and getting out, flicked off the hot tap, leaving only the cold-water running. He smiled while he scolded her for the way she tried to cool him off.
In the bedroom, Cassie sorted through her clothes, hanging up what needed to be hung. She thought how glad she was that Woody had kept his promise about buying her designer clothes. When she had moved in with him, he’d organised a dressmaker. He had spent hours with her, going over magazines and picking out outfits that would suit her. He always appreciated her making an effort to look nice. But today she was spending it with her man and wanted his full attention so a little mischief outfit was required.
Pulling on a short, box-pleated skirt and a halter-top she smiled at the look on Kayden’s face as he came out of the shower.
‘That’s very cruel, honey. I can’t believe the way I am feeling! You’re going to tease me all day in that cute little number.’
She went up on tiptoes and kissed his cheek. ‘I want you with me all day. I’m using the clothes’ power to make sure you don’t leave my side for a minute.’
He laughed and snatched her into his arms. ‘You don’t need a skirt on to have power over me, my beautiful wife!’
Her evil plan backfired and the mini skirt was just too much for him. It was another hour or so before they finally made it down to the foyer where the others were all waiting.
Conor, Ethan and Jason had gone surfing after waking them up and the girls had gone out shopping. Ella and Woody only just joined them, making Cassie not feel so bad they may have held them up. She did make a little excuse saying they’d drifted back to sleep but she doubt if it washed, especially because Kayden couldn’t wipe the smile from his face.
