Breathless Awakening (The Breathless Series) (8 page)

“That doesn’t sound good. I was talking to her just ten minutes ago, and I haven’t done anything other than what she asked me to do. That means I’m not in trouble, but my wallet probably is.”

Chapter Nine

Luke

“I‘m glad you decided to behave yourself this time and not attract the attention of security. Some of those guards looked like they wanted any reason you would give them to put their hands on you. Hell, I bet they just undressed you more times with their eyes than I have been able to in real life.

As the driver of the shuttle to the hotel loaded our bags, Cailyn looked up to me with a mischievous grin on her face. “Why don’t I just give you another chance to do that as soon as we get to the room?”

“You dirty girl, you. I thought you wanted to stop at the bar on the way to the room, but if you want to get right down to business then I don’t see a reason to delay.”

“I wouldn’t mind a few drinks later, but I still haven’t had the opportunity to completely enjoy you while sober.” Her hand reached over to my crotch, rubbing against me while she leaned in to leave soft kisses on my neck. “I’m still a little tender, so you be gentle, but being up and moving around is helping some. I know how this feels on my lips from the plane, and now I want to know how it feels sliding inside of me. I want to feel your lips and tongue on my clit, teasing me, making me come up off the bed with anticipation. I need more than anything to let you have your way with me. I don’t want to question what sensations are from you and what is from the alcohol. I need to know, without a shadow of a doubt, that every spark running through my body is because of you.”

I looked over at her, and gave her a devious grin of my own. “If you wanted me to take advantage of you all you had to do was say something. Why wait until the hotel to get started?” My hand slid up under her shirt, cupped her breast through the bra, and caressed it as a low moan slipped out.

“Luke! Stop, what about the driver?”

“That didn’t stop you on the way to the hotel last night.”

Her eyes were wide and blank as she looked at me confused. “What do you mean on the way to the hotel last night?”

“Oh, you don’t remember giving me one hell of a blowjob in the limo last night? God, Cailyn, it was amazing! You sucked my cock like a pro. If you were that drunk and you don’t remember, first that is going to make for a lot of fun over the next week for me. Second, if it wasn’t for the plane, I’d wonder if you were going to be able to repeat that performance.”

I moved my hand down and tried to get it out of her shirt. Cailyn looked disgusted. “What the hell are you talking about? We did no such thing in the limo, and we are not going to do anything here. At least on the plane it was behind closed doors. No one would have known if you hadn’t come out of there looking so guilty. Although looking at the eyes of those flight attendants, they looked like they wanted to take you right back in there and teach you a lesson. Between the two of them and the mother in front of us, I guess I better get used to women staring at you.”

As if she never said a thing about stopping, I leaned over to give her a quick kiss. At first, she saw it as a concession, just a quick I’m sorry kiss. Before she knew it, my tongue was pressing for entrance and instinctively she parted her lips allowing it. She may be unexperienced with all of this, but her hormones were screaming for me to fuck her at every possible chance.

Flustered and not sure if she wanted me to stop, she pushed away a little more forcefully than I think she intended. “Getting rough with me now, huh? I think I like it.”

“Oh? I’ll show you getting rough if you keep it up. You know how difficult it is for me to stop myself right now. We both know how bad I want you, but you can wait the ten minutes we have until we get to the hotel.”

“Yes, dear, you’re right, I’m wrong, I’m sorry, I love you. I’ll behave myself.”

“That’s right, you better.” Her hands went up to her breasts and she pushed them together. “Or you won’t be getting to play with these any time soon.”

With a determined look on my face, I gave Cailyn the most evil grin that I could. “Excuse me? Who do you think you are, trying to keep those away from me?”

“Who do I think I am? Who the hell do you think you are?” Cailyn had a glimmer in her eyes as she started to knead and caress her bosom. “These are mine, always have been and always will be. If you are good, I may share them with you, but if you keep that attitude up, I’m not going to share anything with you.”

“Oh come on, babe, I respected your wishes for all that time. Don’t go cutting me off already. You know I want nothing more than to get my hands and tongue over every inch of your body. Stop doing that.” As I watched her caressing her chest, I could see her nipples starting to grow and push through the fabric of her bra and shirt. At least I wasn’t the only one that had issues growing at the time. I realized that I was going to have to play nice for the time being, but that didn’t mean that later in the evening I couldn’t have my way with her in every way I wanted.

“But, Luke, why would you want me to stop doing this? For the longest time I was the only one that ever played with them, and I really grew to like it. Do you know what else I like?” Her hand slid down her stomach, started to slide inside her shorts, and I felt my zipper about to bust as my erection was taking more room than was comfortably available.

“Stop, that’s enough. I’ll play nice, I’ll do whatever you want me to do. If you want me to wait, then I’ll wait. I definitely found out that you are worth the wait.”

“Oh, you weren’t sure I was worth it, huh?”

“Don’t go twisting my words around now. You know what I meant.”

“Oh, I heard exactly what you meant. Look, we’re here! Oh, Luke, it is so beautiful! I couldn’t have dreamt it would be this nice in a million years. Look at the beach. I can’t wait to get down there.”

Knowing not to get back into that debate, I decided to keep my mouth shut. That didn’t mean that I wasn’t thinking to myself the many ways that I was going to have my way with Cailyn as soon as we got checked in.

As the shuttle came to a stop, the driver turned to look at us. “The two of you make a beautiful couple, and will make beautiful babies. I can tell you are here for your honeymoon, so why don’t you all go on to check in and I will take care of your bags.”

I reached into my pocket to pull out some cash for a tip, but he quickly started shaking his head. “No need for that, everything here is taken care of for you. You go take care of that beautiful wife of yours.”

The door opened and a hand reached down to help Cailyn out. I nodded and thanked the driver before I stepped out and got the first breath of ocean air. The atmosphere was immediately intoxicating. The breeze blowing off the water was cool and crisp, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, and the view…the view was stunning since Cailyn was a part of that view but I was biased. I grabbed her hand, startling her out of her daydream, and tugged her towards the entrance. I could hear her giggling behind me as I walked up to the front desk. “Reservations for Mr. and Mrs. Luke Roberts please.”

“Welcome. Yes, I see we have the Honeymoon Bungalow with the ocean view for your stay. Congratulations to you both. The shuttle called ahead to let us know you were on the way and we have a bottle of champagne waiting chilled in your room. If there is anything else you require, please do not hesitate to ask.” The gentleman looked over my shoulder and gave a quick nod. “I see that we are already getting your bags taken care of, if you would like, I could have someone show you to your room. Once you have had time to…freshen up, call the front desk here and we will have your bags brought up.”

I wrapped my arm around Cailyn’s waist and pulled her into me for a hug. With my chin resting on top of her head, I leaned down just a bit to place a kiss on her forehead. “After you, my love.”

“You just want to stare at my ass, don’t you?” She started to follow the attendant showing us to our room, making sure that she swayed her hips to draw even more of my attention.

Chapter Ten

Rhylie

Ryan moped into the room staring down at his feet, not paying attention to anything around him. If he hadn’t been looking down, he wouldn’t have seen the bucket of water before he could have spilled it everywhere. Just as I was about to smack some sense into him, I saw Celeste storming in after him. With the look on her face, I could tell she wasn’t mad at him, but someone sure had pissed her off.

“Celeste, what’s up? Wait, before you answer that, take a breath.”

“Take a breath? What the fuck do you mean take a breath? I’m so pissed…”

I knew that cutting her off was a risk and it may redirect that anger at me, but I wasn’t going to stand there and let her yell at me for something that someone else did. “That is exactly what I mean. Someone pissed you off–I can see that. You aren’t that difficult of a person to read, you know. However, I am not the one that upset you, so take a deep breath, calm down, and then talk to me. I care about you, maybe not like Amber does, but I’m still your friend.” I could see the realization hit her as her eyes went wide. “Oh, don’t go giving me that look like you don’t know what I’m talking about. I’ve known for months.”

She started mumbling to herself before looking at me and saying, “Months? It’s only been a few weeks…” She shook her head, took a deep breath, and refocused her energy. “Those guys out there are so full of shit. They think that because Ryan is sensitive, and cares about helping the women, that they can just berate him and shit.”

“The guys are just being guys. They lost Luke to Cailyn, and now Ryan is going off to hang with us and help. They are insecure and they are lashing out at the fact that they don’t have anyone. That’s just how guys’ are–self‐centered assholes who tear each other down, instead of building them up and being supportive.”

Ryan finally decided to look up and chose to try to stare me down. “You know, Rhylie, I am standing right here. I appreciate you not talking about me behind my back and all, but come on. Is it really that necessary to bash me or the guys?”

“Ryan, I don’t really know any of you guys yet. We all met less than twenty‐four hours ago. If you think this is me bashing you, let me give you a small bit of advice. Don’t ever piss me off. Right now, I am stating facts. I respect you for coming in here and helping us clean the house. Only a real man would be comfortable doing the ‘woman’s work’ while the guys are out there showing off for each other and seeing who can carry the most stuff.

“At the same time, you are being a baby. They may be out there being childish, making fun of you because they are jealous, but you can’t let them get to you. You went home with not one, but two beautiful, sexy women.”

I turned and looked at Celeste as I pointed my finger at her. “Don’t you go getting any ideas. I may be able to acknowledge that you are both hot, but that doesn’t mean I swing that way. And don’t you even pretend as if you’re innocent. I saw you looking me up and down last summer at the beach. You looked like a diabetic in a candy store the way you were salivating.”

Turning back to Ryan with his mouth agape, I said, “And back to you, mister, you went home with those two women. What may or may not have happened once that you got there I’m not going to speculate. I will ask you this though. Whom did those guys go home with? Where did they wake up this morning?”

Ryan started to stand a little taller, his lips started to turn up a little, and he walked over to Celeste. “You know, she’s right. Those assholes out there can go jump off a cliff for all I care. Let them strain their backs and hurt tomorrow. I’m going to save my energy for you.”

It happened too quickly for Ryan to pick up on it, but there was a hunger in Celeste’s eyes for a split second before she kissed him. “You just keep telling yourself that. I’m going to make sure you work your ass off here today before I even think about letting you have another piece of my ass tonight.”

“Alright you two, that’s enough. Don’t make me break you up. We know how the guys are treating Ryan, so that means I would have to send you out there with them, Celeste. I don’t think that would be very productive at all.

“Ryan, make yourself useful. Take that bucket and start scrubbing baseboards. Celeste, you can start vacuuming the other room. Let’s try and get the main floor done before Amber gets here and we take a break.”

“Wait, why does she get to vacuum and I have to scrub baseboards?”

“Well, to be quite honest with you, I don’t trust her on her knees with you in the room.”

The other room broke out into a hysterical fit of laughter. Megan walked into the room, paint roller in her hand, and looked at me with a smile across her face. “Rhylie, my dear, you remind me so much of myself in my youth. I miss having that spunk and life.”

“Aww, thanks, Megan. Do you need some help with the trim work in there? Ryan isn’t very comfortable on his knees, so maybe he could help you around the corners.”

Megan looked over at Ryan, paint roller pointing at him, “Have you been a bad boy? Is Rhylie trying to tell me I need to stick you in the corner?”

“I don’t know which is worse–the guys or you women. I can’t win for losing. Maybe I should go back out and help them some.”

Amber walked in the room and I pulled her to the side to catch her up on the drama. Like it or not, she was going to be stuck right in the middle of it all, so I thought it best to catch her up on what was going on. There may have been a few comments slip out of my mouth about her being lucky to have a guy go home with her the night before which resulted in her lecturing me.

“Look at you, Rhylie. You could go out and get any guy you want or any girl if you were brave enough to just give it a shot.” Amber winked at me, knowing that we had this conversation several times before. I was fine with her being interested, but I wasn’t going to try batting for the other team. “Don’t look at me like that. I know you just like to hear about it, but we all know that means you’re curious. Either way, I know you’re tired of the games, guys just wanting a quick wham bam, thank you, ma’am, and all that. I know that James really hurt you when you found out he was cheating. You sent him packing a year ago, but you have to move on at some point.”
