Mistake (completed)

I have been sitting in town waiting for an eternity for my email to load. I wasn't going to show up but I need to write a receipt for Cadence's rent payment. I forgot how terrible dial-up internet was. It actually makes me laugh.

When everything finally loads up I have an email from Cadence. My heartrate spikes and my palms start to sweat. It takes me so long to open it because I'm a little bit afraid it might be an email saying she's going to accept my rejection.

Tony

I sent the rent payment...

This is harder than I imagined it would be.

I saw your mother, she's horrible Tony. I'm so sorry for everything you went through. She told me you're having hallucinations... I don't think they are hallucinations, I think it's me projecting myself to you. It's exhausting and there's only two ways to fix it and I don't want to accept your rejection so I'm begging you again to please come home.

I love you Tony and I want you to be mine the way the Goddess intended.

Love

Cadence

I've read it a hundred times. I can picture her crying as she writes to me. André comforting her. Why does he put up with that? Maybe it's because he knows how special she is too.

The whole way home I talk myself into calling her. I don't know what want but I think I should speak to her.

"Hello, Cadence's phone".

"Uh hi sorry to bother you, is she around?"

"Yeah she's just outside, would you like me to go get her?"

"Uh no that's fine it's probably better this way".

"Antonio?"

"Yeah..."

There's a long awkward silence.

"Look man, I'm really sorry about your brother and sister and about your parents and this town. It's really messed up".

"Thanks André".

"Can I be frank with you?"

"Sure".

"You need to stop being a fool. This beautiful incredible pwoman is so in love with you. You're her mate and she won't be truly happy until you come home to her. Don't you think she's worth it?"

Damn. He's not messing around.

"Of course I think she's worth it... But aren't you two together?"

"It's not like that. We enjoy spending time together. She's a beautiful woman with a good heart. Tony you should have heard her when your mom started in on her about you. She was fierce".

"Oh, Leon made it sound like you're a couple".

"I know, he's trying to make you jealous so you come back here. Look, I know you rejected her because you didn't want her to be cast out by her family and friends and that's honourable but she's suffering that fate without you. You should just come back to her".

"How can I show my face after I ran away?"

"It's easy you get your ass in your truck and you get back here and you accept this gorgeous woman as your mate. I'd give anything to be able to see my mate again, don't waste your time. She's made up her mind".

"I have to go".

"Don't fuck this up Tony." we hang up.

André

Cadence comes in right at the end of the call.

"Tony called?" she sounds hopeful.

"He did." I say as she sits down.

"Did he say what he wanted?"

"I think he wanted to talk to you but when I asked he chickened out".

She asks me in the sexiest pouty voice I've ever heard if I'll tell her what he said. I tell her it was private and then she asks if I'll tell her if she guesses.

It wouldn't. She'll know when Tony desides to tell her and not a moment before. I know he's a good man and he will do what is right.

Cadence doesn't seem to like my stance so she pouts so adorably I almost can't help but tell her but to my surprise she gives up that tactic quickly. Next she takes off her shirt.

"Cadence, what are you doing?"

She unbuttons her jeans and I swear she's about to pull them down, "I told him to come back to you".

She stops and stares at me, "you what?"

"I told him that he's a fool and that he needs to come back to you".

"You really said that?"

"Of course. I care about you and I want you to be the happiest you can be".

She walks over to me shirt still off and pants still open.

"come".

She takes my hand and leads me to her room. She shimmies out of her pants and lays back on the bed.

"You're the most selfless shifter I've ever met" she says quietly.

I ask her what she's doing and she says, "I'm giving myself to you".

I'm shocked, "Cadence you don't have to do this".

She looks at me who hooded lids, "I want to. I've wanted to for a while. Consider this my way of thanking you".

She sits up and beckons me with my index finger. This isn't what I had in mind but she's making it very hard to keep saying no.

Cadence slides off her panties and tosses them at me, "Just this once André".

"Ok just this once".

I climb over her and she pulls me into a very heated kiss. She laces her legs around my hips and pulls me closer to her. I can feel the heat coming off of her.

"Mm, André".

"Unwrap you're legs please Cadence".

She does and I remove my clothes. I grab her ankles and pull her closer to the edge. Inching my fingers up her legs spreading them as I go. I inhale the delicious scent of her arousal.

"Ooh André" she moans.

Are you sure you still want to do this?

With one hand I explore her body while the other teases her delicate pearl.

S

he nods seemingly unable to form actual words.

"More!" she moans breathlessly.

Her body arches to every caress of her beautiful form. She's moaning so sensually. It's smooth and silky and so damn sexy. I've never heard another moan like hers. It's so real, it doesn't sound even a little forced. Like I know exactly how to play her.

If she keeps going like this I'm going to release before I even get a chance to enter her.

"Please André".

She pulls a condom from... I have no idea where but that's not important right now. She opens it, sits up and slides it over me.

"Back up please Cadence".

I pin her hands above her head and slip inside her slick core. She cries out she's starts rocking her hips trying to take all of me, her legs once again wrapped tightly around me.

I try a few different speeds trying to find that smooth moan again. When I do we move perfectly in sync.

Cadence trembles beneath me, she getting close but I'm not quite ready to take the plunge.

I roll over so she's on top of me. She leans down, kisses me and nibbles my lip.

"Mm. It's all up to you now baby".

She gets up on her feet and hovers a couple of inches over me. I buck my hips and her head falls as she groans.

"Don't Move".

She gently bounces on me and circles her hips. Her head is thrown back moaning deeply everytime she meets the base.

"André... Please".

I hold her still and thrust my hips up, our flesh smacking together.

"André I think... I think I'm gonna... Oh fuck!"

I hold her still until I'm finished, she then promptly crumples up on top me.

We catch our breath and when we've finally come back down she says that she hates to say it but that was better that her first time. I was curious as to why she hated to say it.

She rests her forearms on my chest and looks at me with sadness.

"My first and only time was with... Gabriel".

I'm shocked, "Like Tony's brother Gabriel?"

She nods.

"I never would have guessed, does Tony know?"

"Nobody does, unless Gabriel told him. Honestly I'm pretty sure Tony doesn't even remember we were in school together. He doesn't seem to".

I cup her face in my hand, "how could anyone forget you?"

She shrugs and I run my thumb over her cheek. She smiles at me and lays her head back on my chest and tells me she tired.

"Good to sleep".

"If you want to go shower you should but please come back to bed" she says sleepily.

I kiss her cheek, smooth down her hair and go shower. Tony is so damn lucky to have her.

I shower and get back into bed with her. She cuddles up to me immediately and I think that in another life Cadence and a in would have been perfect for each other but this beautiful bear deserves her true mate.
