He growlslow in his wide chest. I’m flipped over before I know it and he smacks my ass before plowing into me. Only two strokes in and I’m fallingapart.
Groans and shrieks come out of me on their own accord. My body is shaking as I have one, long, continuous orgasm. “Blake! God!Blake!”
He stiffens then I fill with his heated juices. His groan is music to my ears. He’s a little more than satisfied and for some reason that makes meecstatic.
He releases me and I fall to the bed in a breathless heap. He falls next to me and tries to catch hisbreath.
All I can hear is our ragged breathing and I love it. I love everything about all of this. My mind flies around with all we could have and do andexperience.
I take in a deep breath and finally steady. “Whatever kind of bed this is, I want one. I don’t know how I can ever go back to my crappybed.”
“You won’t have to. Give that place up today. We can stay here until we find aplace.”
“No,” I say and turn over to lay my head on his chest. “Let’s go to another crazy great hotel, a new one each week, until we find a mansion of our veryown.”
“Whatever you want, baby. We are going to live it up. I’ve barely spent a dime of my money in this last year. What do you say to a weekend in Vegas?” His hand runs over my shoulder and I shiver with histouch.
“I say yes. But I do think we need to set a spending limit, don’t you? I mean neither of us has ever had money so we could totally fuck up and waste away all your hard won money. Your parents would never wantthat.”
“We can do that if it makes you feel better. Let’s get a touch more sleep then we’ll get ready and start the day.” He rubs my arm and I settle into his wide chest and close myeyes.
We are really doingthis!
Blake
If we are really doing this, I want it to be right. I want Rachelle to be a complete part of teamBlake.
She agreed to go to Vegas together this weekend. I left her at her apartment packing up things, deciding what she’ll keep and what will get taken to acharity.
I found out she wears a size six ring and am going to surprise her with an engagement ring. I’m going to ask her to marry me tonight and when we get to Vegas we can pick out wedding rings and getmarried.
I’m not going to risk something happening to me and leaving this world without making sure Rachelle has whatever I leave behind. My money will be her money too and that idea makes me the happiest guy in theworld.
Striking while the iron is hot is my tactic here. Rachelle has kept everyone at a distance her whole life and now that she’s letting me in, well, let’s just say I’m going to make sure I stay completelyin.
If I give her too much time she could flake and run away again. Her mind or her crazy mother’s influence can change things in a heartbeat. No, I’m taking nochances.
I’m putting a ring on that pretty little finger and making her mine forgood.
Damn, I hope she saysyes!
Rachelle
“Yeah, Mom, we’re heading out to Vegas later tonight. We’re spending the weekend there then we’ll come back to L.A. and find a nice place to stay. It’s really happening, we’re moving forward and I feel ready forthat.”
The way my mother is hesitating has me a little worried. “This is all happening so fast, Shelly. Are you sure aboutthis?”
“It’s not really happening so fast, Mom. For the last two months we haven’t even seen each other. We’ve texted and talked on the phone and learned so much about one another. And after this week together I know he’s got to be the one for me.” I pack away my dishes to give away. I won’t be needing themanymore.
“So, what is the plan then? Are you and he gettingmarried?”
Married? Who said anything aboutthat?
“Whoa!Mom, I never said we were getting married. This is a trial run. I mean I only want to get married one time, and that’s it. We can live together for a few years and if that all works out then we can get married if that’s what we decide we need to do. It’s just a piece of paper really. I don’t needit.”
“Well, that’s smart of you. No reason to get too deep into this thing with him. You barely know theman.”
My mother’s words are starting to annoy the shit out of me. “Mom, I do know the man. I know him better than I’ve ever known anybody. It’s not the fact that I don’t know him that has me saying we don’t need to get married, it’s the idea that I want to marry only onetime.”
