Note: All persons in this novel are fictitious. If you are looking for a great deal of explicit sexual activity, this story is not for you. The scenes that are included will be evocative rather than just for the sake of sex itself. This story is for your reading pleasure. Its length is undetermined at this time, because I do not know where my mind will take me along the way. I hope you will stay with me during this journey until it reaches its inevitable conclusion.

103. Happiness Is
The Boeing 757 landed into a stiff crosswind at the Sante Fe Municipal Airport, which made everyone on board hold onto their armrests with death grips. Everyone, except Cassandra Chase, she was busy looking out her window trying to see Christian. The wind was so blustery, no one; with the exception of the ground crew was standing outside the terminal.
The stairs were rolled up to the front of the aircraft, and Christian still did not step outside to greet his sister.
Patti was livid, and called him a wimp.
"You stay in the aircraft Cassie. I'm going to tear that brother of yours a new asshole. Give me five minutes with him, then come inside and do your thing."
"What is my thing Patti?"
"You have five minutes to figure it out."
"Come on Jemma let's give it to him good. That pussy should be standing at the bottom of the steps, on his knees, waiting to see her."
"I've always wanted to call a man a pussy. I'm finally getting my chance to do it."
They walked into the terminal and there was Christian standing by the door, holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers. He was crestfallen when he didn't see Cassie.
"Where is she, where is Cassie?"
Patti went after his heart and balls immediately.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news Christian. At the very last second, she changed her mind, and didn't come with us. Religion got in her way. She could not live with a lie, between herself and her God. We were at the airport, ready to board the airplane, when she started crying.
"I can't do this. I love him, but I can't lie to God. I could not live with myself if I did. Every time I would say his name, it would be an affront to my religion. I just can't do it."
I tried to explain to her ever since Noah, and his famous Ark, we were all brothers, sisters, or cousins. Everyone on that ship was related to Noah or his wife. Since then every time a man touches a woman we are committing incest.
Patti had Christian so totally involved in this conversation, Cassie could have walked into the terminal with a brass band playing, and he would not have seen her. She took a seat directly behind him, and listened to their discussion.
Jemma said, "Why don't you let me hold those flowers before you drop them. They are very beautiful; it would be a waste to throw them in the trash."
Christian handed her the flowers, and continued listening to Patti.
Jemma handed the flowers to Cassie. She lifted them to her nose, and enjoyed their wonderful scent. She wanted her brother 'now', but the look on Jemma's face kept her where she was.
As Patti continued dragging out the story about how conflicted Cassie was, and how much she loved him, Christian began to tear up. He reached into his pocket for a handkerchief, and realized he left it at work.
"Would you happen to have a tissue Patti?"
"My pocketbook is on the aircraft, and so is Jemma's. Why don't you ask the nice old woman behind you?"
Christian turned and saw the most beautiful sight in his world: Cassie.
He got down on his knees between her thighs, and pulled her towards him.
"I am so angry with you at this moment I could murder you. You three cooked this up to torment me. I should send you home, and let you live your life in misery. The only thing is I would be miserable too. I love you Cassandra. I always have, and I always will. Would you do me the high honor and great privilege of being my wife?"
He reached into his pocket, took out a Blue Tiffany box, and opened it.
Cassie's hand flew to her mouth, as she filled her lungs with air. The ring was magnificent. The center stone was a large deep red Tiffany-Cut Ruby, surrounded by round diamonds and emeralds.
Cassie lost the power of speech, until Jemma pinched her.
"Ouch, what was that for?"
"Would you please put this man out of his misery and say something."
"Oh, yes Christian, absolutely, I would love to marry you."
She pulled his head towards hers and gave Christian a true lover's kiss.
"Will you take me home and make love with me?"
"I really don't think that would be a good idea, until later tonight."
"Why, why can't we do it now?"
"Mom and dad are waiting for us at home."
"Christian if you tell me they knew about us all this time, I'm going to shoot you."
"Why, I didn't know they knew, until I told them I was moving here. Mom asked me if I was running away from you. When I asked what she meant she said, "Don't be a jackass. You've been in love with your sister since you were a teenager. I thought she and Callum were going to get married, but once Callum was out of the picture, and you told us you were moving to here, it was obvious to both your father and I you were trying to hide from her."
"Did you tell her I'm adopted?"
"I've never heard mom say so many four letter words in a row that weren't directed at Alan, in my life. Patti, I would be wear bulletproof clothing when you get to our home. She knew it was your doing. She said you did it for another young woman the night she was supposed to get you drunk."
"It was your mother's fault. I couldn't have done anything if she had done her job properly, and gotten me plastered."
"I don't think she's going to accept that as an excuse. I would still wear the armor."
"Let me call the flight crew and tell them to take the night off. We will leave at 10 A.M. I'll call General Morgan and tell him about our change in itinerary."
"It's not fair Patti. Cassie's not married, and she's going to get laid before I am."
"We can stop at a supermarket and buy a few cucumbers."
Christian said, "Ladies that's food abuse."
"It's not if you make a salad in the morning."
"Oh God I'm going to be sick."
"I can tell you've never licked a pussy Christian. You are in for a real taste treat; isn't he Cassie?"
"I love the taste of mine, and I know I'm going to love the taste of his."
"I've never done that before, please leave my head alone."
