Loving what He Wants (Celine and Rhyland Series) (2 page)

‘Me too.’ He rubbed her leg.

‘Promise me when we land in New York we will be like regular folk?’

‘What’s that supposed to mean?’

‘No drivers. We’re taking the subway. No eating out in fancy restaurants. McDonalds will do just fine.’

‘Okay, anything else madam’

‘I think that’s it for now.’ She giggled.

‘Can we at least stay in a great
hotel?’

‘On one condition.’

‘What’s that?’

‘We share the room. I want you with me the whole night, not just part of the night.’

He hesitated.

‘Please?’

‘I…’

‘Please.’

‘Okay for you.’ He wasn’t sure about it but he had to trust the flow of everything.

When the plane landed there was a car waiting. She shook her head at him.

‘What?’

‘I said no drivers.’

‘How are we going to get to the hotel?’

‘How do people get from the airport to hotels?’

He sighed with a big grin of his face. He let the driver take the luggage and they decided to find their own way to the hotel.

It took some getting used to. They entered the main Newark airport and looked around. She smiled at him as he tried to take control. It was so easy just instructing drivers to take him places but this was a new challenge. Not that he’d been rich all his life. It had been something he’d become accustomed to.

They walked over to the tourist section and pulled out a map of the subway.

‘Why don’t we go and ask the lady at that tourist information.’ He pointed at a lady.

‘Why don’t we tr
y and do this ourselves? All we need to do is find our way to the subway.’

‘Okay miss, lead the way.’

After a lot of hiccups they managed to find a train that took them to the subway. Finally they found themselves standing at the door to The Plaza. It was hilarious and even though he was enjoying the adventure he did find it a little tiring.

‘I’m surprised you don’t have a hotel in
New York.’

‘I was about to buy one when the illness struck. I just wouldn’t be able to now.’

‘I’m really sorry about all this.’

‘Don’t be, it’s not your fault.’

An hour later they were at their destination. The door man opened the door and they made their way to reception to check in.

‘Is it alright if I have a lie down? Why don’t you have a look around and let me know what we’re doing tomorrow.’

She looked at him concerned. He looked a little pale but he perked up trying to hide the little bit of pain he felt.

‘Are you alright?’

‘I’m fine, don’t worry about me. This is something I’m used to. Just let me get a little rest and I’ll be back to normal.’

She watched him unsure whether or not to leave him.

‘I’ll be fine, I promise. Now go on, sort out an itinerary.’

‘Okay. Make sure you get enough rest because there’s a lot to do.’ She tried to sound jolly.

After she’d settled in Celine decided to go downstairs and check out her surroundings while Rhyland slept. She was genuinely worried about him but for his sake she stayed strong. Hopefully the following day would bring some joy.

Chapter Two

The day was all planned out. Celine wanted to do so much in so little time. The first stop was Macy’s, she just had to shop. The look on his face was priceless but he was enjoying it nonetheless.

‘I just thought it would be fun, do a little retail.’

‘Sure babe, whatever you want. It’s a girl thing I suppose.’

When they had finished
with their shop, Rhyland’s driver was outside waiting.

‘We’re not going in the car.’

‘I agree but we’re not carrying these shopping bags around.’

She smiled as she handed over the bags filled with clothes and shoes. It was cold but
not as cold as it was back in England. She snuggled into him as they walked through the busy streets. It was amazing just spending time with each other without expectation. They visited the empire state building, walked through central park. Took photos and ate at McDonalds. Later that evening Celine begged to go to Times Square. She wanted to see what it looked like in the evening.

‘I feel as if I’m in a movie of some sort.’ She gazed around the lights, the billboards
like a little child in Toysrus. If there was one thing she wanted to see this was it.

Rhyland snapped photo’s as she stood in awe. They snapped shots together and made faces. But after a while she noticed that the day had taken
its toil on him.

‘I think we better get the driver,’ he said finally. ‘I don’t think I could stand another ride on the sub.’

‘Okay, yeah okay.’ She was worried. ‘Are you alright?’

‘I’ll be fine. Tiredness comes in flashes. I’ll be fine.’

After the driver arrived and whizzed them back to the hotel in the thicket of traffic, Rhyland ordered in. They sat on the balcony of the hotel gazing out at the vibrant city, having their dinner. After their meal he drew them a bath and they just sat and soaked in the water doing nothing but enjoying each other’s company.

‘Come with
me.’ he took her hand and carried her to bed.

There was a tray of strawberries
that had been left over for dessert. He wheeled it over, picked one up and ran the large strawberry over her wet body.

‘You have made me the happiest man in the world. I had a great time today.’ He ran it up towards her mouth, as she was about to eat it he took a bite and laughed.

‘Why are you teasing me?’

‘Because you’re so cute when you’re mad.’ He took another one and ran it over her body.

This time she took a nibble of the juicy fruit. She chewed slowly watching him as he took the other half.

‘What do you want for Christmas?’ she asked.

He smiled.

‘What?’

‘Do you really want to know?’

‘Of course I do.’

‘Okay but first tell me what you want.’

‘I have everything I want.’ She kissed him. ‘Now tell me.’

He had a twinkle in his eyes. He leaned over to grab another strawberry and fed it to her playfully.

‘I’m waiting.’

‘I want to marry you.’

She burst out laughing but he wasn’t laughing.

‘Are you serious?’

‘Dead serious. I want you to be my wife on Christmas day.’

She was dead silent. This wasn’t what she was expecting. Get married. Marriage was a way a way in her life.

‘Life’s now right.’

‘Yeah, life is now,’ she said absentmindedly. ‘It’s now.’

‘So how about it, how about you become Mrs Chambers this C
hristmas?’

He
kissed her a bit at a time. The thoughts came rushing through like an avalanche. Her parents, they hardly knew him. Ava and Harvey, what would they think? Harvey would probably think he’s paid her. But as he gave of himself slowly and gently the noises in her head began to subside. So what? What did it matter what anyone thought? It was her life, her life with the man she loved.

She wrapped her hands around him and took
in his generous kisses. He was gently as he explored her body. His lips travelled down her body, kissed the side of her thighs and down to her very toes. He took in a toe at a time into his mouth and crawled back up her legs.

She pushed him onto the bed and was on top of him.

‘Oooh I love a lady on top.’

She kissed him w
hile he spoke, ran her hands through his hair. She wanted to feel him. Feel every strand of his hair, smell him and feel his touch on her body. She wanted it to be imprinted on her mind forever.

He put
his hands on her waist; she sat up tall looking down at him. For a moment they just kept that position. He moved his hands upwards and took both her breasts into his hands and massaged them with might. She threw her head back as she took the feel of his strong hands and then she lowered back down to him. He took her and swapped positions, he was on top looking down at her. He met her lips gently and dipped his tongue into her mouth. She swallowed him, kissed him as if it would be the last time. Her body covered with goosebumps as he ran his hands down her legs and slotted between them.

‘Oh Rhy…land.’ It was a whisper, a cry
, a call for him to take her.

‘Yes baby.’ He
kissed her passionately. He could never get enough of her.

He took in a nipple between his teeth and bit down on it. He planted kisses all over her skin trying to make sure he covered every area. He massaged her shoulders, rubbed her stomach, her thi
ghs. He did things to her she never imagined and all she could do was surrender.

She lay breathless and weak gaz
ing up at him. His face was tender, his eyes full of love. She wanted nothing more than to give him what he’d asked for, for Christmas. He positioned his cock and as he was about to enter she said…

‘Yes…yes I will marry you.’

He pushed in deeper lifting her body up so that they were both in the upright position.

‘I will marry you.’ Her hands were wrapped around his neck.

He kept his hands around her waist; his cock was straight up her middle as she was locked in him.

‘Yes?’ he mouthed against her.

‘Yes?’ she kissed him back. ‘Yes,’ she breathed.

He shut his eyes and held her tight, his thickness planted deep inside her.
After a moment he gently laid her back on the bed and moved his body in rhythm to hers. It was like they were listening to their own music. He swayed and she did so too. He panted harder and harder and she took him over and over until there was no more. Until there was nothing left to give.

****

She woke up to sounds of terrible retching. The left side of the bed was bare. She threw back the covers and followed the sound. The door to the bathroom was locked.

‘Is everything alright?’ she knocked.

‘I’m fine babe, go back to bed.’

But he didn’t sound
fine; it was ten minutes later that he came out of the bathroom.

‘Is everything okay?’ she asked.

‘I’m fine; it’s just a bad morning.’ He fiddled for his bag. ‘As soon as I get my pills down I’ll be as good as gold.’ He tried to sound positive.

She watched as he pulled out a packet of pills. He ran some water into a glass and took down the medication.

‘What are they for?’

‘Reflux. I get it really bad sometimes, my bowels aren’t working as they should so my whole digestive system is out of whack.’ He smiled.

‘Oh Rhyland.’ She began to cry.

‘Please don’t be sad. I’ve had time to adjust to all this, I’ve made peace with it.’

She leaned into him as he lay down.

‘I didn’t want you to see me like this. This was one of the reasons I left before morning. Sometimes I have it bad for a while.’

‘I’m really sorry this is happening to you.’

‘Don’t be. The important thing is that I’ve had the chance to meet you even though it wasn’t
under the best circumstances.’

She looked up at him and playfully pulled on his nose.

‘I was stupid for ever thinking I could pay to have you.’

‘Yes you were because I would’ve gone with you anyway.’

He kissed the top of her head.

‘Today I think I’ll stay in. Go out and explore and I’ll spend time with you later if that’s okay?’

‘Yes of course, take all the time you need. Are you sure you don’t want me to stay with you?’

‘No I’ll be fine, I’
ll be sleeping anyway.’

‘Okay.’ She stayed in his arms just listening to his heartbeat. There was nothing more to do than just be there with him.

Chapter Three

‘Are you coming inside?’ she asked Rhyland when they got back to her house.

‘No, I think I’m going to go straight home.’

‘About what we discussed.’

‘Take your time, I don’t want you to rush.’

‘Okay, you take it easy and I’ll be on the phone to check.’ She kissed his forehead. She stood taller than him on the doorsteps.

‘I look forward to it.’ He was glad in a way to have someone fuss over him. ‘Speak soon.’ He stepped back and made his way to the waiting car.

Celine watched as he stepped in and the car drove away, her heart happy and sad at the same time.

The house was noisy, the television was on full blast and Ava was shouting something from the kitchen to Harvey. There was a red head on the couch next to him eating from a bowl of popcorn.

‘Celine, hello!’ he piped.
