My Sweet Canadian Girl Ch. 08

"You're not going anywhere," I said with confidence though my arms clutched her tighter all on their own. "I can't begin to imagine how much it would hurt to lose your love. That's why I could never do it to someone else."

"I wonder what he'd say if he knew the man he hates so much was trying his best to convincing me to keep him in my life? I love you Dickie, I love you with all my heart," she said weeping softly as she nuzzled my neck.

"I love you too Cassie. I love you more now then I did when we woke up this morning, just like you said I would," I said softly. She continued to cry onto my shoulder shedding more tears than eyes so beautiful should contain. Whenever it felt like she might stop, she'd wail again and fresh batch of tears would appear from somewhere. "I think you're right about Tamara," I said desperately hoping it would cheer her up.

"You're just saying that," she said turning her head to smile through the tears anyway.

"No I'm serious. I think she's a bitch too," I said smiling at the sweet sound of her giggle.

"Rick I know you're only saying that to cheer me up, but it's sweet of you anyway," she said kissing me softly on the lips.

"When we got there today one of the first things she mentioned was your knee," I said reaching down to rub it. "Nobody else in that house was thinking about your knee because we all love you. She's the only one who would bring it up and I hated her the moment she said it."

"You're the only one who's ever noticed the way she always says things like that," Cassie said with a wide smile. "Sometimes I felt like I was going crazy. I mentioned it to mom and Julie before but they said she was just being nice."

"Being nice would be complementing your hair or outfit. Pointing out the one thing about you that could possibly be seen as a flaw is cruel," I said.

"Oh Rick I love you so much," she said kissing me fiercely.

That was my sign to drive back to the lodge. Cassie hooked her arms around mine and leaned close with an adoring gaze as I pulled out of the parking lot. Bringing up Tamara had improved her mood better than I could have imagined. Seeing her smiling again after such a horrible visit with her family made me feel incredibly good. We still had a few days together at the lodge to take advantage of and her smile told me she was ready to enjoy it with me. As the resort came into sight I felt my heart race. This was where we first met and I'd never be able to lay eyes on these snow-covered hills without getting chills.

As we got out of the car and headed into the lodge I could see that the sexual desire that often burned brightly in her eyes was extinguished for now. Leading her towards the elevator I smiled at her as we waited and gave her a soft kiss just moments before the doors opened. Inside our room, she went into the bathroom with her bag telling me she'd be out in a few minutes. When she returned she'd changed into a warm pair of pajamas, had washed the makeup off her face, and pulled her hair back into a tight ponytail. My smile told her still looked just as beautiful though. It was enough to make her blush, which made her cuter still.

Cassie climbed onto the bed and smoothed the sheets next to her as she smiled back at me. I stood up from my chair and slipped my shoes off before approaching the bed. Lying next to her on the bed, I lifted my arm over my head until she had snuggled close and lowered it around her slender shoulders. Despite her best efforts she couldn't ward off her tears any longer, crying softly in my arms as I whispered my love for her over and over. Sometimes it felt like I told her I loved her so many times that the words held no meaning any more but I could feel her body respond every time and I knew she cherished each one.

Cradling her in my arms, I felt my own eyes fill with tears and shed them silently so I wouldn't make her feel worse. I wanted her father to accept me more than anything but no matter what I did he refused to give me a chance. Cassie and I had already promised each other a lifetime of love when we wed and the thought of enduring his hatred for the rest of my life left me feeling numb with pain. Until he started treating me like a man worthy of her daughter's love I couldn't see us ever bringing our marriage into the open and children would remain an unfulfilled dream. She deserved to have everything she wanted in life and I was going to do whatever it took to give it to her. There was no way I could let one man's hatred of me deny us what we both wanted so badly.

Thankfully I wasn't the only who had endured a restless night. Once Cassie had run out of tears she yawned deeply and apologized for being so tired. I pulled her body on top of mine for a tender kiss and turned the covers down on her side before rolling her back over to her side of the bed. Cassie burrowed under the blankets with a sad sigh and backed up until she was next to me. The moment my arm fell across he body, she seized it and held it to her chest kissing it with love. It was still only the middle of the afternoon yet but I knew there would be no snowboarding today. I wasn't bothered by it at all and was hoping she'd fall asleep to dream about the happier days in our past and those the future held for us.

It was maybe twenty minutes later when Cassie's cell phone rang. I cringed at how loud it sounded but Cassie had already fallen asleep and it didn't disturb her. Getting out of bed carefully, I went to her purse and checked the caller display on her phone to see who was calling. It was her parent's number, which didn't surprise me at all. There was no way I was going to answer it so I turned the phone off and put it back in her purse before taking a seat to watch her sleep. I could spend hours watching over her dreams like a guardian angel loving every second of it. After all the tears she'd shed on my shoulder earlier it filled me with joy to see such a serene look on her beautiful face. I hoped she was dreaming about a husband who loved her more than anything and the babies we'd have together.

My thoughts drifted as I watched my wife sleep, but they always came back to Cassie's father. I kept replaying every moment of our abbreviated visit over and over in my head trying to find something I could have done differently and drew a blank each time. It always came back to his petty gesture of not offering me a drink. I hadn't let it bother me and had refused to give him any indication that I'd even noticed. There was no doubt in my mind he'd find someway to blame me for further widening the rift between him and his daughter though. Maybe he thought I should have lied to Cassie when she asked me about my missing drink but that was out of the question. I'd lie when I was teasing her to prey on her trusting nature or to hide a surprise I was planning but never over something serious and never when she looked into my eyes in search of the truth.

A few hours passed and I was still no closer to an answer. I didn't think Cassie would sleep much longer but she could for as long as she wanted. She'd be hungry when she woke up because we hadn't eaten yet today. The thought of food made my own stomach growl so I wrote her a note and set it on the bed next to her before heading down to get us something for dinner. I was delighted to find that the hotel was serving a turkey dinner special over the weekend. Cassie was going to be very happy that we got to have a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner together after all.

They placed my order of food and drinks on a room service cart for me and I wheeled it towards the elevator. Back in our room Cassie was still asleep but I saw her stir and change positions the moment the smell of dinner reached her nose. I drank a bottle of water as I patiently waited for her to wake up before eating. Cassie wouldn't be upset if I ate before her but I knew she'd prefer to eat with me. There was no way she'd stay asleep much longer with the smell of turkey filling the room anyway. Sure enough, I watched her eyes flutter open a few minutes later and looked down at her with that smile she loved so much.

"Did you have a good nap sweetie?" I asked.

"It was just what I needed," she said stretching. "I even dreamed that my father wasn't such a jerk today and we stayed for dinner. What am I smelling?" she asked with the beginnings of a smile on her lips.

"Our Thanksgiving dinner," I said turning to the side so she could see the cart.

"You didn't need to wait for me before eating," she said. I smiled having predicted a reaction just like that from her. It felt incredibly good to know the woman I loved so well that I knew what she'd say before she did sometimes.

"I know I didn't but you'd prefer to eat with me wouldn't you?" I asked.

"Everything is better with you," she said sitting up to kiss me. "You make me feel so spoiled Dickie," she said in a soft voice. "You must spend all your time thinking of me and ways to make me happy."

"What do you think about when you're at work all day?" I asked.

"I think about my darling husband and what I can do to make him happy," she said at once with coy smile. "I guess I shouldn't feel guilty then."

"You should never feel like that. There's no way I could ever give you all that you deserve. That's why I can never stop trying my best and there's nothing you can do to change it," I said from my seat on the edge of the bed.

"We argue about the stupidest things," she said giggling at the serious look on my face until I start to laugh along with her. "I think we should have a fight about who loves who more next."

"No that one is easy," I said with a confident grin.

"Don't you dare try to tell me you love me more than I love you," she said looking as close to angry as she'd get with me.

"I'd never say that sweetie because I know it's a tie," I said starting to laugh over how fast her frown changed into a smile.

"I love you so much," she said throwing herself into a fierce hug and kiss.

"I love you too," I said when she pulled her lips away from mine.

"We better eat before I get carried away," she said giggling and kissing me once more when I stuck my lower lip out in a pout. "It smells really good. What did you get us?" she asked as she slid of the bed.

"I don't remember," I said waiting for her to lift the metal cover from her plate.

"Turkey dinner," she said surprised and excited at the same time.

"Thanksgiving dinner for me and my wife," I said smiling at her.

"Oh Rick..." she said starting to cry.

"I've seen enough tears from those beautiful blue eyes today," I said taking her into my arms for another kiss before carrying our plates to the table to eat.

"Wait," she said when I lifted my fork. "We have to say what we're thankful for first."

"Okay I'll go first," I said smiling at her. "I'm thankful for my sweet, beautiful, loving wife."

"You need to say more than that," she said.

"All right I'm thankful your father isn't here right now so we can eat in peace," I said hoping she'd find the humor in it.

"Rick," she said in a scolding voice though she smiled as she said it.

"I'm sorry," I said. "I'll be serious this time. I'm thankful your sex drive hasn't diminished from that sex starved girl I met on these hills," I started with making her blush. "I'm thankful for the way Marc and Julie have welcomed me to your family and I'm thankful my family fell in love with you the moment they met you. I'm thankful Canada finally saw fit to welcome me to stay and I'm thankful it took marrying the woman of my dreams to make that happen."

"That's much better," she said with an approving nod. "My turn now," she said excitedly. "I'm thankful for my sexy husband and his perfect cock that fits me just right," she began making me burst out laughing. "I'm thankful for my job at the hospital and every moment I get to spend with the children there. I'm thankful for all the people who care about me even if they don't all get along with each other yet. I'm thankful for your endless love and patience in the face of my father's hostility. Most of all, I'm thankful we'll be together forever and not a moment less."

With her final heartfelt words we clinked our glasses in a toast and settled in to eat our first of two annual Thanksgiving dinners for the very first time. We ate slowly and silently admiring each other from across the table. The food was good but I knew without ever having tasted her mother's turkey that it wasn't near as good as it should have been. I smiled at her knowing that there were other things in my life to be thankful for but none more important than her. After our main course there was apple pie for dessert and hot cocoa that had gone lukewarm as we waited but remained a sweet treat full of incredible memories of falling in love.

Sitting close together on the sofa in our room we sipped on glasses of wine as we reflected on all we had to be thankful for. In that moment, I was thankful that Cassie was finished with her tears for now though I knew a deep sadness remained. Tomorrow was a new day and we were going to spend that day snowboarding together and enjoying ourselves. I was hoping it would let her push thoughts of her parents far away but thinking about them reminded me that they'd called for her earlier and I forced myself to tell her. She went to her purse slowly, as if she didn't really want to hear their message but knew she had to. I watched her listen for a few minutes with a face that failed to hide the sadness that had returned.

"Mom called me five times," Cassie said in a voice full of guilt.

"Tell her what happened then," I said.

"They'll blame it on you," she said.

"At least I'll deserve it this time," I said.

"I better call her," Cassie said coming over to sit next to me before she dialed the number. I place my arm around her shoulders to offer whatever support I could. "Hello mom," she said in a voice that cracked. "I'm sorry too. No I wasn't ignoring you. I fell asleep when we got back to the hotel and Rick turned my phone off so it wouldn't wake me up. We're okay mom. No he never blames me for anything," Cassie said tilting her head into my shoulder. "Is dad still mad? No I didn't say that. Wait! Did he say he's sorry for how he treated Rick today? Did he? Well I don't want to talk to him then. Mom if you give him the phone I'll hang up. I meant it don't..." Cassie fell silent and listened for just a moment before hanging up with tears glistening in her eyes again. Damn that stubborn man!

"Cassie..."

"The first thing he said was that I shouldn't have let you convince me to leave. I knew he'd blame it all on you when I was the one who couldn't stand being there anymore. I won't cut him out of my life Rick but I don't want to talk to him again until he apologizes to you," she said in a determined voice.

"What if..."

"There is no what if. It can't make things any worse than they are. I'm not going to wait on him forever either. If he doesn't accept you as the man I love then we'll have our wedding without him," she said in a sad voice that betrayed her true feelings.

"Whatever you want sweetie," I said hugging her. I was already married to his daughter. Having a second wedding that included everyone but him would be hard but far from impossible. For Cassie I'd try even if it was.

"I just want to go back to bed and forget this day ever happened," she sighed into my shoulder.

"The sooner we fall asleep, the sooner tomorrow will get here," I said making her sit back and smile at me. "I'll meet you under the covers," I said kissing her before rushing off to the bathroom.

On the way out of the bathroom I passed her at the doorway, stopping just a moment to kiss her once more. I turned out all the lights in the room except for the lamp on her side of the bed and stripped down to my boxers before climbing in. If I didn't want to wait for her so we could cuddle for comfort, I think I could have fallen asleep in moments. Our bed at the lodge felt strange but comfortable. We could both use a goodnight of sleep before hitting the slopes hard for the rest of our long weekend.

The sound of the bathroom door opening drew my eyes to her entrance. I watched with a racing heart as the most beautiful woman in the world walked into the room completely naked. She was wearing a smile and nothing else. Her hair was combed out and glistened like a river of honey in the remaining light. I watched her approach the bed with each step making her perfect breasts jiggle ever so slightly. Between her legs the smooth shaven skin gave way to the light pink crevice of her beautiful pussy. Gazing up and down her body I marveled at the flare of her sexy hips and the hourglass figure it gave her. From head to toe she looked like a goddess. By the time she reached the bed I was sporting a raging hard on and feeling over dressed.

"You look incredibly sexy," I whispered.

"I can see it in your eyes," she said as she crawled onto the bed approaching me slowly. "I must have been blind not to see it when we first met but it's there all the time now. The way you look at me makes me feel beautiful."

"I had a hard time convincing you of that when we met," I said smiling with memories of her misplaced modesty running though my mind.

"Not anymore though," she said reaching my lips with hers as I circled her body and pulled her into our kiss. "I love you Dickie."

"I love you too," I said running my hands up and down her back as we kissed again and again. My erection was begging to be used and quickly convincing me to do so. "We better stop if you want to go to sleep," I forced myself to say.

"I said I wanted to go to bed, I never said anything about sleep," she said giggling at my stunned expression and rolling off of me to scurry under the blankets.

It took me mere seconds to take my boxers off. Cassie's legs were already spread wide as I turned over and found a comfortable place on top of her. She reached between us to stroke my cock and smiled at how hard she'd made it. I let her swab the tip of my cock through her lips to moisten it and leaned forward to push all the way inside her when she guided me to her entrance. Lowering my lips to hers I kissed her passionately as her arms circled my neck and held me there. I wasn't going to screw her or bang her or fuck her tonight, tonight we were going to make gentle love as we held each other close.

Cassie's legs wrapped behind mine sliding up and down as I pumped my hips gently. One moment her tongue was pushing its way up into my mouth, the next it was retreating with mine in pursuit. My hands found a comfortable place on her waist where I felt her skin grow warmer despite the slow pace. On each deep stroke I pressed my body down onto hers until our abdomens were touching and her breasts were smashed into my chest. Thinking about her breasts forced me to touch them. Bring my right hand up her side until it touched the soft swell on the outside of her breast. Cupping it in my hand I gave it a squeeze and found her stiff nipple toying with it as she moaned into our kiss.

Lifting my lips from hers, I looked into her eyes and focused on making love to her. The speed of my stokes increased slightly but I was careful to keep them under control. Cassie smiled up at me, her face full of radiant beauty as we made love. I had to kiss her again and was met with an enthusiastic set of soft, feminine lips. Soon as our lips parted she gave that same incredible smile and I was back for more. After our second kiss I smiled down at her with the same smile that had captured her heart and she lunged up to kiss me repeatedly until releasing her grip to fall back to the bed with swaying breasts and a flushed face.

I ran my hand up her side slowly as I continued to make love to her. Over her breast again, along her slender neck, which felt naked whenever she took her engagement necklace off before bed, all the way to her face. I brushed my fingertips across her breath taking features, the feel of her smooth skin confirming the impossible beauty I saw there. We never stopped touching each other, sharing kisses one moment and intense stares the next as we made love. There's no feeling in the world like sharing a night of tender lovemaking with a woman who means absolutely everything to you. I opened my mouth to warn her I was about to cum but she closed it with a kiss, having read my mind and I let the inevitable happen as we shared our most intense kiss of the night.
