Before we left we had to promise that we would come back again soon, which we agreed to easily as it is a good night here and everyone is friendly enough. When we get back to Coral’s she shows me the spare room and I settle in for the night.
I can’t help but feel sad that this is the first night I have not been with Kenni in what feels like a long time.
I am woken very early in the morning by a door being hammered on. I stay in the room and let Coral deal with it, it is after all her house. I hear raised voices and the next thing I know my door is being shoved open.
Sitting up on the edge of the bed I come face to face with Kenni who does not look happy in the slightest, oh dear I think I pissed Mr Bennet off, that’s a shame, not.
“Where in the fuck have you been all night?” He is so mad but I’ve only just woken up and not at my happiest and I’m very, very hungover.
“What’s it got to do with you?” I go back at him, the anger from yesterday rising once again.
“You’re my fucking wife, that’s what it’s to me.” He looks incredulous not knowing where my audacity has come from, he knows though, he has to.
“Don’t you dare pull that shit, I’m your bloody wife when it suits you, yesterday when I needed my husband he was nowhere to be seen, so fuck you, get out from my friend’s house, I’ll come and talk to you when I’m ready, not when your stood in front of me screaming and shouting.” He is so fucking mad and I know he didn’t expect me to say that. He physically withdraws from my personal space and takes a step back.
He stares me down and is seething as he contemplates his next move, I can tell the exact moment when reality dawns on him and it hits him that he isn’t going to get far with me and he does the sensible thing and backs off, leaving the room.
I hear him storming through the house and I can’t help but burst into tears with the reality of my life dawning once again on me, after it was briefly forgotten last night. Coral comes into my room.
“Well done Luci, you totally rocked. I’m so damn proud of you at this moment in time. My brother is coming in a bit to pick you up to get Kenni’s truck.” I forgot that I left that at the bar.
“I need coffee, lots and lots of coffee.” She laughs at me and smiles warmly before heading to the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. When I arrive in the kitchen she speaks again.
“Seriously you were fucking awesome back there, I had visions of him throwing you over his shoulder and dragging you out kicking and screaming, I have known that man my whole life and I have never seen anyone stand up to him like that. You have to remember you were not in the wrong, it’s all on him.” I am strangely comforted by her words and feel slightly empowered.
“I have to face him in a bit and I’m not sure what I’m going to say to be honest, I’m so disappointed in him and I’m embarrassed to see his parents after leaving like I did. If Ruby wasn’t coming today I think I would stretch it out a bit longer and make him suffer. Thanks for last night I needed it.” I really am glad that I met Coral, even gladder I started a friendship with her.
“Honey as I said it’s all on him, you go to that ranch with your head held high, you have done nothing wrong, remember that and you’ll be fine. Keep him sweating for a while though.” Her brother turns up at this point and I go with him to get Kenni’s car, he’s not really a conversationalist so we sit in an uncomfortable silence and since the bar is only a few miles away, the time soon passes.
Driving back in Kenni’s car I have time to gather my thoughts before I get back the ranch, when I pull up and jump down it’s his mother that greats me first.
“Luci I am so sorry about yesterday, I think we were all a little shocked, we thought you’d be going home in a few weeks, don’t worry Kenni has now explained things to us.” I wonder if he told her the whole truth. Marriage and all?
“Honestly Annett its fine, where is he?” I know it’s not her fault really, but I can’t help my hostile tone.
“Oh honey please don’t be mad, we want you to be happy here and I’m sorry I didn’t realise how serious things were with you and my son. He is in your room, impatiently awaiting your arrival home darlin.” My shoulder rise up automatically, preparing for battle stations and I smile politely to Annett before making my way into the house and up the stairs towards his room.
When I walk in I hear the shower running in the bathroom and contemplate my next move. Should I join him or should I make him wait? Stripping off my clothes, my decision is made, I open the bathroom door and make my way in and he notices me immediately and opens the shower door for me to join him, which I do.
I am now stood in front of him, facing him. He runs his hands down my side and then grips me under me bum pulling me up against the wall and wrapping my legs around his hips, still holding onto my arse, he brings his lips down to meet mine harshly and then he guides his cock straight into me, hitting me so deep I can’t help but cry out so loud.
He begins moving in and out of me at a punishing rate, he moves his lips over my neck and he is putting his mark all over me, almost like reaffirming himself to me. I can feel his apology in the way he is making love to me and I can tell he is very, very sorry.
He doesn’t need to speak words as long as he carries on doing what he’s doing, apology accepted in my mind. A thought crops into my head and I’m strangely aware we use sex as a communication tool, I have no idea when this started but it works for us and I love every minute of it.
“Luci please forgive me, you took me by surprise yesterday, I love that you are making a life for yourself here, I love you.” He delivers a punishing thrust and I am rendered completely speechless, I physically cannot respond to what he has said as he continues his thrusts into me, I can feel my orgasm building and I rise my hips up to meet him thrust for thrust, determined to make the most of this situation.
I’m moaning so loudly I’m afraid people can hear me, but quite frankly I don’t care and I can’t do anything to stop it, he feels amazing and if this is what make up sex feels like, I hope we fall out several times a day because this feeling I have deep inside of me is literally the best I have ever felt in my whole life and I never want it to stop.
I know we are building up to something special so I allow myself to get lost in my orgasm and it is beginning to take hold of me, a warm, fuzzy feeling is washing over me as we continue on our lovemaking, Kenni grips my hips so tight and has two further hard and deep thrusts into me before we both explode together.
His mouth is all over me, I feel him everywhere, he’s kissing me all over my body and I’m loving every minute of it.
“Don’t ever walk out on me again sweetheart, last night was the longest of my fucking life. I couldn’t find you anywhere in town and that scared me baby, so much. Where did you go?” I contemplate lying to him, but what’s the point, it’s a small place and he would know.
“We went to the next town. I wanted to get drunk without being disturbed.” He knows what I mean and doesn’t push it any further seemingly satisfied with my explanation.
“Yesterday I needed you, I needed my husband and you deserted me. I was so mad at you but I know how sorry you are because I felt it, it doesn’t mean I forgive you yet though I’m afraid, I thought you of all people would understand about me settling down here, I guess I was wrong. The problem now is it has me questioning my future here and what you actually want from our relationship. I married you for fucks sake! Surely you knew that meant me settling here.” I’m surprised at my anger but I know, without a shadow of a doubt, it needs to be said.
