Breathless Awakening (The Breathless Series) (16 page)

Walking out of the bathroom, I half expected him to be standing at the door. I pictured him standing there doing a dance waiting to get in so that he could use the restroom. Maybe I was hoping he would be standing there so I could see his reaction when I stepped out in a towel. I was disappointed that he wasn’t there, but as I stepped into the bedroom to get dressed, I heard him from the kitchen.

“I made some eggs and toast. Wasn’t sure what you normally eat, but I hope this is okay. Do you think I could get in there for a minute before you go back to getting ready?”

“That sounds delicious, and you know you could have come in while I was in the shower. We are both adults. It’s not like I haven’t already seen you nude or anything.”

“Yeah, thanks for reminding me about that.”

After quickly getting ready and eating the eggs, I picked up the toast to eat in the car. Things were a little awkward in the car, but it wasn’t a long drive. I really didn’t want to tell Liz about last night, but I had to talk to someone about it. At least I could usually keep her under control. Celeste and Amber were the gossipers so I had to keep them out of it and I should be fine.

As I pulled up to the house, Zane looked over at me and smiled. “You know, I find it cute watching you try to figure things out in your head about what’s going on. I’m not really sure either, but let’s see if I can confuse things a little more.”

He leaned over, reached up, and placed his hand on the side of my cheek to turn me towards him more, and his lips touched mine. I felt a roughness to the kiss, but his lips were soft like satin. Just as I started to part my lips, wanting more and getting lost in what was happening, he pulled back. “Thanks for the ride.”

A whimper squeaked out and he laughed as he closed the door. Whatever appointments I had today, I was going to find a way to get back over here for lunch. I couldn’t leave him here all day by himself.

Chapter Nineteen

Luke

I could feel Cailyn’s weight on my chest as I woke. She had fallen asleep crying last night due to her concern that something was going to happen to her dad. Cailyn was beyond upset that no one had called to tell her, but I had finally calmed her enough to drift off. She had wanted to call and yell at her mother, telling her just how hurt she was that she left her out of the loop, and I was tempted to let her.

I’m not going to lie. The words that came from Cailyn’s mouth I thought I would only ever hear in the delivery room. I wasn’t even sure they would happen then, but I figured that would be the only thing that would ever get her that worked up. She was kind of cute when she was that mad though. Cailyn’s cheeks looked as if she had been out playing in the snow for a few hours, and the sexiest thing about it all was the way she would growl when trying to get her thoughts together between rants. Of course she didn’t think it was too cute when she realized I was getting turned on, and she was quick to redirect the anger at me momentarily.

I wanted to lie there with my eyes closed, running my fingers through her hair, and let her sleep. There was something tickling my forehead. At first, I thought it was Cailyn’s hair, but since I had been running my fingers through it for the past five minutes, I knew it wasn’t near my face. Slowly opening my eyes to let them adjust to the brightness, I saw a monkey sitting on the headboard with its tail hanging down in my face.

I knew I should have closed the balcony door last night. I tried to shoo it away without waking her, but it hopped to the bedpost and chittered at me in a laugh. Cailyn’s eyes shot open at the sound. When she saw the monkey was laughing at me, she joined in the fun. Her laughter, as cute as I thought it was, was enough to scare the monkey. Watching it bound across the room toward the door, it grabbed Cailyn’s panties from the suitcase. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing as it jumped onto the railing right outside the door and placed them on its head. The look on Cailyn’s face was enough to kill the morning wood that I knew I wasn’t going to get to use.

Cailyn’s phone started to ring. She jumped out of bed to grab it from the desk where she had left it the night before. Seeing her ass in that thong was killing me. I pulled on a pair of shorts and went to go see if I could catch the thieving monkey.

Cailyn

“Mom, how’s Dad? Is he okay? What did the doctor say? Why didn’t you call me yesterday?”

“Everything is fine honey, just calm down.”

“Daddy! Why didn’t Mom call me yesterday? Luke told me last night and I have been worried to death all night long. I didn’t sleep a wink. Do we need to come home? What happened? Are you okay?”

I was so happy actually to talk to daddy. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but I could only assume the worst. Luke was playing with the monkey on the balcony trying to get my underwear back. The scene was hilarious to watch him jump for the monkey, or try nonchalantly to back up to it before spinning quickly to try to catch him off guard.

“Sweetheart, I told your mother to not call yesterday because I didn’t want to worry you. The doctor came in and told us that they are going to send me down for tests soon. We still don’t know all the details, but they are speculating I had a minor heart attack. They were worried when I came in, but since I bounced back so quickly, they weren’t as concerned.

“Well, the nurse is here now. I’m going to let you talk to your mother. Promise me that you will not yell at her. Remember, I asked her to not call.”

“I can’t promise…”

“Cailyn Nicole Don… I guess you aren’t my little girl anymore, but please be nice to your mother.”

“Yes, Daddy. And I will always be your little girl. I love you Daddy!”

“I love you too, sweetie. Here’s your mother.”

“Take care of him. I’ll be right here when you get back, Terry. I’m sorry, Cailyn, I’m here now.”

“Mom, why didn’t you call me last night? I should have come home as soon as this happened.”

Pacing nervously around the room, I knew my mother’s voice enough to know that she was doing the same. I could hear the worry in her voice no matter how much she told me everything was okay.

“Cailyn, sweetie, there was no reason for you to worry yesterday. Your father wanted to let you enjoy your honeymoon, especially your first day. Now, I am sure there is nothing to worry about. He wanted to call you before he went for the tests, but I will make sure to call you as soon as they tell us the results.”

“I suppose you’re right, but please let me know as soon as you know something.”

“We will. I’ll make sure to call you as soon as your father comes back. I’m sure he will want to talk to you some more anyway. We love you both. Try not to worry too much and enjoy yourself.”

“Yes, ma’am. I love you, too.”

I hung up the phone and a shiver ran down my spine. That didn’t bode well, but I was so worried about Daddy. The stress with the wedding and then the accident was all too much at once. If this was going to happen, I’m surprised that it wasn’t on Saturday.

I walked over towards the little kitchenette and grabbed a banana. Peeling it as I walked towards the balcony, I laughed at Luke. “Are you still trying to get those back from him?”

“Babe, you have no idea how annoying these monkeys are. Look around. There are at least twenty of them just sitting back and laughing at me.”

Breaking off the tip of the banana, I held my hand out towards the monkey. Jumping slightly as the monkey jumping onto my arm to grab the banana startled me, I squealed with joy inside as I watched him run up to my shoulder, leaving the panties hanging on the branch that he had been sitting on.

“I guess you just need to know how to talk to them.” Breaking the rest of the banana into a few pieces, I set them on the railing. The monkey quickly jumped over to grab another piece before swinging into the trees and giving the piece to another monkey and nuzzling their noses as if they were kissing.

“Is your dad alright? What did the doctors say?”

“They are just now taking him for tests, but Mom assured me they would call back once they know something.”

“How about I see if I can get some room service brought out here so that we can have some breakfast and figure out what we are going to do today. I don’t think you are going to want to go too far from the phone for a while.”

“That sounds wonderful.” Luke was so considerate. We had planned on doing a zip line tour of the forest today, one of the things he was looking most forward to of all the activities, but there was no way we would have any reception out there. We were lucky enough that we had thought ahead to add the international calls on our plan before we came.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I stepped out of the bathroom brushing my hair as Luke answered. “Umm, did you plan a party that I didn’t know about? I thought it was just the two of us.”

Luke grinned. I knew that when he got that look he was up to something mischievous, but I wasn’t quite sure what. “I just figured that we had both better get a good meal to start the day. After all, with everything going on we didn’t really get to enjoy last night that much. Plus, we might need to occupy ourselves while we are waiting around here with nothing to do.”

I knew how hard it was for him not to devour me last night. The guilt ate away at me all night long, but I could not come to terms with everything going on at home. I still didn’t feel like doing anything, but maybe once I ate things would be better. That didn’t mean I had to let him know that though. “Luke, how could you be thinking such a thing? Here I am worried sick about my father, and all you can think about is sex. How dare you.” I stormed back into the bathroom and slammed the door. I was really hoping that he bought the act because it took everything I had to not laugh out loud.

It was only a couple seconds before he jiggled the doorknob trying to open it. “Cailyn, I’m sorry. I know you are worried about your dad, and I am too. Everything will be fine. Upsetting you or starting a fight was the last thing that I wanted to do. Wait, is this our first official fight as a married couple? I was hoping we could have made it a little longer than this. Just… Well, you waking up and walking to your phone in your thong. How was I supposed to think of anything other than what I wanted to do to you?”

I yanked the door open with a grin on my face, and reached down to his ever‐growing cock. “That’s what she said. Mmm, I’d love to have this for breakfast, but there was this nice gentleman that thought I needed to have a buffet instead.” Walking out to the balcony where they had put all the food, I stood by the chair and eyed Luke, waiting to see how long it would take him to pull it out for me.

As Luke walked up behind me, I felt one hand grab my ass and the other reach around to grope my chest. Thankfully, the view of the ocean we had from here was pretty secluded because of the forest. His head tilted in to get a few soft kisses onto my neck. Chills ran down my spine as my knees went weak. “You know, babe, we don’t have to eat breakfast. This can be our dessert instead.”

“Oh no, I’m going to eat this while it is still nice and warm. You will just have to wait.”

Luke knew the spot on my neck to go after. I could feel his lips working their way up, slowly kissing higher until he was just about to reach it. My hand reached behind me to find his crotch, making him think I was encouraging him. Just before he could melt my fortitude, I grabbed a firm handful and heard a slight whimper. “I meant what I said. I am going to enjoy my breakfast while it is hot. If you would like to join me, then you are welcome. Otherwise, I will join you in bed once I am done, assuming that you can behave until then.”

If there was one thing I was sure about, it was the fact that I wanted to make sure he knew from the beginning of this marriage that I was not going to lie down for him. This was a two way street and we had to meet each other halfway.

The food was delicious. The mango and papaya were so fresh, but then they probably got it from up the road. Luke focused mostly on the eggs, bacon, and such. I caught him sneaking a little of the fruit when he thought I wasn’t looking though. We tossed small pieces to the monkeys that watched from the trees like dogs waiting for food to hit the floor.

Luke’s eyes were ravenous. I enjoyed dragging things out and making him wait. I ate a little more than I should have just to torture him. I got up from the table and started to walk inside, looking over my shoulder at Luke. “Oh, don’t give me those puppy dog eyes. Stop pouting and get in here. Take me like a man.”

He wasted no time getting up from the table and before I knew it, Luke had thrown me over his shoulder on the way to the bed. Maybe I shouldn’t have eaten so much. “Hey, I said take me like a man, not like a caveman. Put me down!”

Luke tossed me off his shoulder onto the bed, but before I could bounce up off the bed Luke was on top of me. His kisses were delectable, his hands grabbing the bottom of my shirt and lifting it as I arched my back. Our lips parted long enough to get the shirt over my head, and as his tongue slid between my lips, I felt his rough hand gently caressing my breast. I couldn’t contain myself. I wasn’t only torturing him at breakfast. Every second that I delayed, I was thinking of what he would do to me, thinking of his cock buried deep inside of me as he kissed my neck.

My hands went to his chest, pushing him away from me. “Luke, stop. I’ve watched you for the past thirty minutes as you undressed me with your eyes. I watched you think about everything that you would do to me. I could see you kissing me, being gentle, and making love to me. Fuck me, Luke. I want it hard and fast.”

I felt a hand reach down between my legs, two fingers sliding across each side of my clit and rubbing it confidently. Two fingers slid into me easily as wet as I was before pulling out and giving another rub across my clit. As Luke stood up from the bed, he wrapped an arm around each leg and pulled me to the edge.

“You want me to fuck you? I’ll give you what you want, but don’t even think about telling me to stop.”

He placed my feet on his chest, my knees bent over my chest as he rubbed his cock across my clit. He was so close to sliding into me, but he just kept teasing me. Two could play this game. My hands slid up to my breasts, pushing them together and caressing them. My fingers sliding across my nipples, sucking my bottom lip into my mouth and moaning. I could see his eyes getting bigger, but I wasn’t expecting it as he slid his cock down and fully into me suddenly.
