1333 Words
" Stella, I want to call you again. Will you at least talk to me?" he asked.
" Drake, you can't...you can't be what I need. What I deserve from a real man.
I need to be a man's sun and his moon... a Godess perhaps.
I am a just a girl you like to kiss sometimes, not like a real lover even.
Infact. I don't really know why you are calling me...oh... yes it's the money.
I see, I thought that you were calling me for real.
You want it all don't you? Well, how much more do you need, did you burn through the 50 mil already?"
He was embarrassed by her accurate assessment of his behavior. She had seen right through him. He was initially money driven.
" Nope, I don't want the money, yes...it was a motivation before...but not now."He told her his truth.
" Oh, now that I called you out, it's not your motivation.
Well, the truth is...if I get married, according to my aunts edict, I have to have a solid pernup in place, or I lose all of that precious money.
So you see, there's no way around it. No prenup, no money and I know a man like you would never accept a prenup, so you would have to marry a broke wife." She hung up.
He smiled. She was thinking of being his wife. He didn't care about the damn money, well not that much.
He would call her later and try to keep her interested in him.
Ash came back to bed. He hugged her to him.
" Make love to me Stella. I need you." he told her as he rubbed her thin waist.
Stella smiled. " You are so cold, come here, let me warm you."
She kissed Ash and touched him. He moved her leg as he entered her warmth. He sighed.
" Does this hurt your leg honey?" He asked.
She shook her head. " Harder Ash." She grinned. He was so timid.
She told him. "Tell me I'm ugly, my breath stinks, be mean to me."
He stroked her face. " You are so very, very ugly...hideous."
She pulled him in. " More."
He said," Pew, you are so stinking sexy."
She wasn't listening anymore. She was riding the waves of that coiled up feeling...deep inside her womanly chambers.
Ash put his finger on her moistness. " You are so hot for me."
She moaned as he touched her intimately.
He held her hips and gave her the hardness she demanded. Whatever she needed.
Stella felt that build up release. She was breathing deeply.
Ash lifted her good leg, holding her under her knee. He took her. She pulled him in and went all over again.
He asked her if she wanted more. She shook her head. She couldn't. He release her leg and pulled her legs open. He finished then. He was moaning and whispering to her.
" Stella, you are so...so very lovely...so lovely." as he finished.
Stella held him tightly.
" Please, don't leave me Ash, stay in my bed tonight." her eyes were worried.
" I wasn't going anywhere, s**t someone did a number on you, Cash told me you were lonely...but Stella who hurt you like this?" He needed to hold her as she cried.
She whispered. " Everyone. They all leave me."
He kissed her lips. "I'm here. I'm so sorry you went through that Stella."
They fell asleep spooning.
The nurse came in to change Stella's leg dressing. She saw the two lovers intertwined.
She cleared her voice.
Stella stretched. She was Stark naked. Ash cover her breasts.
" We have company dear."
Stella pulled the covers to her, embarrassed.
" Sorry, Ash helps me get through the painfully long nights." She told the nurse.
She smiled. " Okay I will be back in a moment." She turned and left.
Ash pulled the blanket off of her. He sensually kissed each of her breasts.
" Mm..you are so sweet. I need a little more of you this morning." He looked at her as her entered her.
She thrust forward. " Be quick."
He was. When the nurse returned she handed Stella her pills. Ash was in the shower.
The nurse pulled back the sheet. She could smell their love making in the linen. It was a musky..erotic scent. Stella blushed. She started to apologize.
" I..well I can't really say anything, have you seen him? He's so...so ..irresistible. And...he has a twin." Stella said excitedly.
The nurse looked around the room.
" Can you give me the twins number?" She giggled.
Stella smiled. She wasn't willing to share his number.
" I don't have it, I just met them a few weeks ago."
" My fiancé Cash sent them to me, to keep me from being lonely." She smiled, thinking of Cash.
The nurses jaw dropped. Her fiancé knows she's with this gorgeous man and doesn't care?
She saw how crippled Stella was, she didn't even walk and these men wanted her still.
She admired Stella then.
" Can I tell you a secret Stella?" She asked looking around.
Stella leaned in," Yes!"
" You are like my idol, I can't believe you are so lucky in love, someone must be looking out for you, you know?".... she pointed up.
Stella smiled. " My auntie Sophia. It must be her."
Stella's phone rang, it was Drake.
She sighed," What now, why are you bothering me Drake, we aren't engaged, nor do you love me."
The nurse giggled," Another one yet." She shook her head.
Stella listened to Drake spouting some nonsense about change.
" Stella, listen...I am changing. I am going to do it. I haven't slept with another woman since I slept with you. That's the honest truth." He admitted.
Stella sighed." It's really here nor there Mr.Palmer. You know my big thing, you know all about me, you practically lived with my family growing up." She said.
He said," You don't want to be alone."
She said," Bingo!"
He said," I left you alone, time and time again didn't I?"
She was quiet. " I'm not anymore...not alone that is.
Your cousins are a better version of you, weird, same family last name too." she was sarcastic now.
" Okay, I can't leave right now, dad is dying. I have to be with him.
I will think of ways so you are never alone then, I mean once we get back together Stells."
He didn't give her a chance to debate him on this. In his mind, it was a fact..they would be together again. He ended the call.
Ash came in then, he told her that brother Cash was coming back.
He was taking her to the new house, he would hire the staff she needed to care for her there.
She smiled and put her hand to him.
" It changes nothing dear, don't worry. Cash and I aren't really engaged anyway."
He wondered then, would she...would she consider him as a husband?
She sensed his worry, he was so sensitive, she really liked this one, a lot.
Cash came about an hour later, Stella was all packed.
Cash lifted her up and told Ash to get her stuff. He kissed her sweetly. "Are you in any pain dear?"
She shook her head, her long soft hair moved around her shoulders.
" Damn, you are so pretty." Cash said and kissed her again.
Stella put her hand out, Ash grabbed it. He held it as he carried the bags. She wasn't setting him aside for Cash.
For some reason Cash was willing to share her, for now.
He never considered Ash a threat to his relationship with Stella.
He knew that might change once they wed. But he needed her to know she would never be alone with his family protecting her.
Stella rubbed her thumb in circles around Ash's hand. He looked down and grinned.
