T heir lovemaking became more and more intense.
Instead of taking the edge off their passion, with time, it only increased.
Jessa couldn’t remember not being with him.
He wasn’t an easy man to live with, she realized more than once.
He tended to be incredibly arrogant, antisocial, and abrasive, and that was only the As.
Cain’s personality was so dominant inside the bedroom and out that she had to be careful how much control she gave him, or he’d take her over. The more time they spent together, the more he realized he could push her only so far before she pushed back.
One night, he forbade her from doing something.
She tried but couldn’t remember precisely what they fought about, but he just about had his head whacked when she threw a bowl at him.
It was a large metal bowl that could have done some damage had he not ducked.
He dodged the other things she threw while stalking toward her, catching her up in his arms and tossing her over his shoulder.
He chuckled at her angry threats, then swatted her butt when she tried to bite him.
They ended up in bed early that night and destroyed the room with their frantic lovemaking. The bed covers were on the floor, pillows were across the room, a shoe was on the nightstand, and the table lamp was on the floor.
Later, they found her panties on the overhead ceiling fan and laughed over that, not remembering how any of it got there. In the end, she did what she wanted to do.
The love she felt for him was intense and seemed to grow deeper every day.
He made sure she understood where the relationship was going, often.
She found she couldn’t think of a good reason to move back to her house when the time came.
This felt like home to her. Her house held both good and bad memories of Drew, but many of them were lonely.
If she was really moving on, she needed to do it right and let go of the house.
He was thrilled when she shared her plans with him. They talked about waiting until they figured out what Gary was up to. It would be too much to think Gary wouldn’t find out about her house being sold. Jessa agreed she wasn’t in a hurry.
As long as she was with him, she was happy.
As the days passed, they got into a routine.
As happy as she was, she still couldn’t let go of her fundamental need to know what happened to her husband.
Until she knew everything, she felt like she couldn’t give Cain one hundred percent of herself because a small part still belonged to Drew.
Not that she’d tell Cain that. Her love for him deepened by the day, but the turmoil still simmered beneath the surface, and it was getting harder to hide it from him.
Jessa wanted them to move forward and begin a life together. The only thing she could do was pray she’d get the answers she needed.
She knew Cain was concerned about her emotional well-being, and he did everything he could to make her happy. But he also did everything he could to deepen the bond between them.
Their lovemaking took a darker turn. One she never thought she’d enjoy.
It seemed Cain was obsessed with her ass.
The first few times he’d fingered her, she had to fight the urge to flinch away from him.
She always thought good girls didn’t do anything like that, but she was beginning to realize she wasn’t as good as she always thought she was.
She’d always felt something was missing from her and her husband’s sex life, but had never needed to delve any deeper because she was happy with Drew.
With Cain, she was able to let herself go and let the darker part of her personality free. She’d never been big into oral sex but with him, she’d find her mouth watering at the thought of having his cock in her mouth.
Sometimes, she wondered if that horrible night she’d lost her husband, something fundamental had changed inside of her.
The violence she’d experienced tore her soul apart, but had also let a part of her free she hadn’t known existed, and it was only when Cain came back into her life that she noticed the transformation.
