Sam informed Stella that he missed her first of all.
" Drake is not happy that you left him. He tried to have a party to celebrate you leaving, but he has been really pissy lately.
I think he will try to find you. Where are you? I heard Drake is taking time off from work to go to Europe. I want to keep you informed because I wish I could protect you from him. You deserve so much better."
Stella told him," Well, I'm happier now. No Drake drama. I appreciate your kindness to me, but I have your brother Cash to protect me here."
She neglected telling him where she was.
"Don't you worry Sam. And...how are you?" She asked.
"Stella I miss you terribly?" He said.
" I did invite you." She said.
He frowned. Yes she did. He still loved her dearly.
" Can I call you again, if I hear anything. I do want to protect you." He said.
" Just call Teddy, he lets me know what is important. And Sam you are important, thanks ..hey hold onto my ring for me?" She said softly.
He said,"Come home to me, soon."
She hung up and called her brother David.
" Hey, how are you?" She asked him.
" Where the hell are you, everyone is looking for you." He said.
She said," Trying to find a cure for my leg."
" Hey, by the way.. we all got money in our accounts. Did you get like...any money?"
She didn't want lie but she skirted around the truth.
" What kind of money," she asked.
He was afraid it was like his parents vow renewal all over again where she was left out.
He changed the subject.
" Well, I hope you find a fix Stella."
She did too.
" Well, I better go, take care sis, tell Cash I said hello." He hung up quickly.
Stella was used to being left out of family goings on. This time, she caused the family excitment by giving them all money, anonymously.
She smiled. She felt like she was in control.
Cash put the luggage in the car. Stella was feeling excited. She had never traveled to India before.
Doctor Fallow wanted Stella to meet her colleague Doctor Sanja Ruby in New Dehli.
Stella would stay there for a few days until the doctor returned from a work trip in Kathmandu. They agreed to meet at her hotel.
Stella tried to be hopeful as she continued forward on her journey to find an answer to her leg injury.
She made sure that she didn't over exert herself, and that she stood up every few hours to avoid any numbness, and accidents. It seemed to work.
Cash exchanged the money into Rupees. He called for the driver.
Cash gave Stella her pain medicine to help with pain on the trip and put a specialized compression garment on her upper thigh before they got into the car.
She fell asleep in his arms as he massaged her leg, giving her comfort on the way to the airport.
He would do this for free if she just smiled at him.
They boarded the private plane and Cash handed Stella a blue velvet box when she got settled in her seat.
She slowly opened the box. A very pretty diamond and gold ring stared at her. It had sapphires around the big center diamond.
Cash put it on her wedding finger. " Only the best for my gal." He winked.
She said," Wow, you did good dear heart."
She kissed his knuckle.
" Cash, this feels nice, even if it is all fake, I like you being my guy."
He said," I like you too boss."
She put a hand on his leg.
" Cash, I'm sorry that Kira didn't make it. I know how it feels to have the person you care about reject you....It hurts."
He looked away. " I loved that girl. She was never serious about being my girlfriend."
Stella looked at Teddy."Teddy knows how Drake treated me. He paraded his girlfriend in front of me..he didn't seem to care about trying to hide it either, he still doesn't.
I just found out that he threw a party to celebrate me leaving."
Cash put his hand out, she interlaced her fingers with his.
" As long as you need me to portray myself as your fiance, I will."
She yawned and stretched her arms up, her shirt rose up to show her flat belly.
Cash licked his lips. He whispered in her ear.
Let's go to the bed.
She turned red and nodded.
He undid his seat belt and waited for her in the back.
She said goodnight to Teddy and finished her champagne.
Cash held his hands out to her, she layed down with him.
He kissed her deeply, tasting the sweet champagne on her tongue.
He put his hands on her hips and sat her on top of him, fully clothed.
He seductively ground against her, slowly ...provocatively.
She sighed. " I wish...I wish I let you be my first. I should have waited. That damn Drake was so quick, he made me feel so inadequate."
He moved her hair behind her ear.
" That just means he lost all control, you did that to him. He must have really been hot for you." he kissed her shoulder.
" I want you to make love to me Stella, I will show you how a man loves a woman properly."
" I would have taken you in Switzerland but you were in such horrible pain, I could do it." He said as he massaged her butt.
Stella hugged him tightly.
" Cash, you know it will change everything between us, what if Kira comes back, will you set me aside for her?"
He hadn't thought that far ahead, he was thinking like a man.
He kissed her again. " Kira who?" He asked.
" Cash, if Kira comes for you and makes things right, I will step aside.
I want you to be happy."
She said laying on his chest.
She crossed her hands under her chin and stared up into his brown eyes.
" You are very sweet. But, no offense f... them both. Kira and Drake. Let's not look back, your here, I'm here."
He rubbed her sides up and down, her shirt rose up. He found her n*****s with his thumbs. She kissed his chin.
"I want you too Cash." She said as she touched him.
He rolled her off of his body and held her as she moved over him.
His head went back as he let her taste his lips, his neck, his chest.
" Stella, don't stop....oh Stella." He quickly heated up. She was still fully dressed.
"I'm no better than your ex, I'm losing control."
She just grinned at him. "Okay we have time."
She sat up, he saw the look of pain on her face.
" Let me massage your leg, lie back down." She did as he said. Tears in her eyes.
" I'm sorry." She said.
Cash nodded. "Me too." he raised his brows up and down. She giggled.
They prepared to land later that night. The city was all lit up. It was quite warm. The twinkling lights made it look magical from the air above.....
Cash took Stella up to their large suite by wheel chair.
They had a set of rooms in the upper level at the Luxory hotel.
There was a nice assortment of dried fruits and some curry for dinner. Cash drank the coconut water with his savory meal.
Stella ate lightly. She very much enjoyed the Masala Chai tea.
Teddy just had a coke and some chicken.
Stella went to bed. She was wearing those silky pajamas.
Cash followed her to make sure she got to bed ok.
He knelt down to kiss her forhead.
Stella held onto him like a life ring.
" Cash, I need you tonight." She said feeling lonely.
He nodded and slept with her in her room.
" I just want to be cuddled Cash."
She was becoming dependent on the big guy.
He seemed to like to have her near him as well.
Cash kissed her head. "Stella, we should get some rest, we have a long day of fun tomorrow, I'm taking you to the park and the market." He spooned her.
Stella tried to move away during the night to give Cash his space.
She was used to men leaving her after they got what they wanted, mainly Drake.
He grunted and tucked her back into his embrace. " I need you Stella."
