Accidental Mail Order Bride by J. S. Cooper

Chapter Twenty-Seven

“You’re takingme to the log cabin?” I asked as we made our way down a dirt path in Austin’s Ford pickup truck.

“Not yet, but later.” Austin glanced over at me and squeezed my knee.

“Where are we going? I’m so curious.”

“You’ll see. I want it to be a surprise.”

“I’m definitely going to be surprised because I don’t really know your ranch that well, and I do really want to know.”

He laughed. “Have some patience, Lucy.”

“I will,” I said. “Can you believe your mom, though?”

“No.” He shook his head. “Actually, yes. She’s smart. Smarter than all of us combined.”

“Are you mad at her?”

“Never. She brought you into my life. How could I be mad at her for that?”

“Yeah, I’m so happy. I was so worried that she’d be so upset that I didn’t like Beau and that Beau didn’t like me, and she didn’t even care because she already knew that Beau and I weren’t for each other. She’s amazing. I love her.”

“I’m glad.”

I wanted to say that I thought she’d make a great grandmother, but even though Austin and I were feeling each other, I didn’t want to push things. I knew that guys got scared easily.

All of a sudden, Austin stopped the truck. “What’s going on? What are we doing?” I looked around. We were just in the middle of a field.

“You’ll see,” he said. “Stay in the cab until I tell you to get out.”

“I’m so confused, Austin.”

“You’ll see. Now close your eyes,” he ordered.

“Close my eyes?”

“Yes. Close your eyes and no peeking.”

“Okay.” I closed my eyes and I listened to him clunking around. I had absolutely no idea what he was doing.

“Okay. Open your eyes,” he said a few minutes later.

I opened my eyes. He was holding the passenger door open for me.

“Come on, get out.”

“Where are we going? Are we going on a walk or something?”

“Or something.” He took my hand and led me around the back of the truck and then stopped.

“I’m so confused, Austin. You’re not about to kill me or anything, are you?”

“Of course not. Look.” And then he pointed towards the flatbed of the pickup truck and I gasped. There was a blanket laid out on the floor of the cab. And on there was a bottle of champagne, some strawberries, and some sandwiches.

“I made a picnic for you in the back of the truck.”

“No way!” I put my hands over my heart. “That is so sweet.”

“Come.” He lifted me up onto the back of the truck and then jumped up beside me. We walked towards the little cushions that he’d put in the back and sat down. “Look.” He pointed ahead of him to the Montana Rockies in the distance.

“It’s beautiful,” I said. “Really beautiful.”

“Not as beautiful as you.” He grinned. “You know, you inspired me, Lucy.”

“Oh, in what way?”

“I wrote a song for you.

“You did?”

“Yeah.” He nodded at an acoustic guitar in the corner. “Can I play it for you?”

“I would love you to play it for me.”

“Okay.” He grabbed his guitar and strummed through a few notes and then started singing. “The sun isn’t shining, it’s not a sunny day, but I haven’t been happier since you came to stay. The birds are singing, the clouds are in the sky, there is nothing beautiful than my reflection in your eyes. Some people ask for heaven, some people ask for hell, all I’ve ever wanted was to get out of my shell. I love my home in Montana, I love it on the ranch, but I knew you were special after just one glance.”

He stopped strumming. I waited for the last notes to completely fade away before I spoke. “That was absolutely amazing. You wrote that for me?”

“That and several more.” He laughed. “I guess I’m just a big old, romantic at heart.”

“Oh, Austin.” I wanted to tell him I loved him, but I felt it was too soon. He took my hands in his and kissed me on the lips.

“Lucy Kensington, I love you. I know it might be soon. And I know that you might be overwhelmed and—”

“No, I love you too, Austin Hamilton,” I said, my voice breaking with happiness. “I love you so much. I never thought that a love like this was possible. I never thought—”

“Oh, Lucy, you make me the happiest man in the world. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you. You know that, right?”

“I love you, Austin.” I pushed him back and I straddled him, then leaned down to kiss him.

He groaned as I rubbed against him and slid his hands up and down my thighs. I tugged his shirt off then kissed down his chest and sucked on his nipple as he pulled my dress off. He lay me flat on my back and undid my bra and pulled off my panties, staring into my eyes the whole time. The way he looked at me made me feel like a million dollars.

“You’re so beautiful, Lucy,” he murmured between kisses.

I undid his belt and belt buckle, and he pulled off his pants. “Take off your boxers as well,” I ordered, tugging them down.

“I hope this isn’t going to be too uncomfortable. I know you—”

“I don’t care,” I whispered. “I want this.”

I pulled him down on top of me and kissed him hard on the lips. I ran my fingernails down his back and he groaned as he kissed me back, his tongue sliding into my mouth. His fingers played with my hair and then ran down the side of my body, teasing me and making me shiver.

“I want you, Lucy,” he groaned. “I want you so badly.”

“And I want you too, Austin.”

“What about the food?”

“We can eat afterwards.” I laughed and wrapped my legs around his waist and he groaned as the tip of his cock grazed my pussy. I was wet and I knew he could feel it. He rubbed back and forth against me. And I felt his chest pressing into my breasts. I squeezed his shoulders and pulled his hair. “Take me, Austin, please.”

“Your wish is my command.”

He positioned himself between my legs, and I felt him at my core sliding into me slowly but surely. I gasped as he thrust into me. He was thick and hard, and our bodies felt like they were made for each other. He moved his hips back and forth slowly at first until I told him to go faster. And then he increased his pace, hitting me in just the right spot. I knew that we’d be bruised and tired the next day, but I didn’t care.

“Oh, Austin, faster!” I gasped as he plunged into me.

He rolled onto his back, pulling me on top of him, and I looked down at him, running my fingers across his chest,

“Ride me, cowgirl.” He grinned. I just laughed as my long blonde hair shielded the side of my face. I moved up and down on his cock, shifting forward slightly.

“Don’t stop,” he grunted. He grabbed my hips and guided me up and down faster, bring me closer and closer to the edge. “Oh, don’t stop Lucy, please!”

He reached up to fondle my breasts, pinching my nipples between his fingers. Then I could feel his finger rubbing my clit. I moved faster and faster, shouting out as the pleasure overtook me and I came on top of him.

He groaned and then pulled me off of him quickly. His body shuddered as he came onto the side of the blanket.

“Whoops,” he said with a laugh, kissing me and pulling me to him. He held me close to his body and I kissed his chest. “That was amazing,” he gasped. “I’m sorry. Our first time was in the back of a truck.”

“It’s okay. I guess this city girl is a little bit country after all,” I said with a laugh.

“Well, I might be a country boy, but I do know how to show you some comfort,” he said. “I don’t want you to be all achy breaky in the morning.”

“That’s okay,” I murmured. “As long as it’s not my heart that’s achy breaky, I don’t mind my body being tired. Not when it gets to be with someone like you.”

“You’re amazing. You know that right, Lucy?”

“I know.” I gave him a cheeky grin.

“I love you, you know.”

“I love you too, Austin.”

“You know, you’re going to be my wife one day.”

“I know.” I kissed him on the cheek, happiness soaring through me.

“It will be funny when we tell our kids how we met.”

“What you mean?”

“I mean, it will be funny when we have to tell them that their mother was an accidental mail-order bride.”

“We can’t tell them that.”

“But it’s true.”

“It’s not true. I’m not a mail-order bride.”

“Well, you weren’t my mail order bride, but you ended up being my bride after all.”

“Are you asking me to marry you, Austin?” I gasped. It felt so right, but I knew it was too soon.

“This isn’t the official proposal,” he said. “But you’re mine, Lucy Kensington, forever. And we’ll have kids, and we’ll get married, and I’ll build you your own house on the property. We’ll have our own place close enough that we can come to dinner with my parents, but far enough away that we have our own space. Would you like that?”

“I’d love it,” I said. “I’d absolutely love it. And, Austin?”

“Yes, Lucy?”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Sure. But I need about 10 minutes.”

“For what?” I looked at him, confused.

“Oh, I thought you were going to ask me if we could go again.”

“No.” I hit him lightly on the chest. “That’s not what I’m asking.”

“Oh.” He said his eyes twinkling. “What were you asking?”

“Will you help me with something?”

“With what?” He ran his fingers across my breasts.

“With Olivia and Beau?”

“Oh, no,” he groaned. “What do you want?”

“Let’s set them up. I think they’re made for each other. Just the way that we’re made for each other.”

“I don’t know that we should get involved with that. My brother is—”

“Austin, please.”

“Fine. We’ll see what we can do.”

“Thank you.” I kissed him on the lips. “And Austin …”

“Yes, my dear?”

“You think he can be ready in five minutes?” I said with a giggle as he pulled me on top of him and kissed me hard. He grunted and growled as I ran my fingers along his cock.

“I think I can do that for you, my darling Lucy. I think I can get hard for you whenever you want.” He kissed me on the forehead and stared deeply into my eyes. “I am here to do whatever you want for the rest of your life.”

“You’re amazing, you know that, right?”

“You make me a better man, Lucy. I’m trying my best to be the man of your dreams.” He grinned, sincerity shining through his eyes. “I love you, my beautiful sunflower, and I will always be here to make you feel at home.”
