“No, I want him to come too,” Norah squealed as she walked
backwards with Shelly. “Come with me! I want you in the pictures!”
she called back to Liam. He finished his drink and went with them.
*****
“Where are we going?” Norah asked as Liam put her in his car
and climbed in behind her.
“Shh. I know you’re tired. I’m taking you to my hotel. I hope
that’s okay.” Norah started to say something. “I told your sisters, and
Lorraine gave me your bag from the house.”
“What happened?” she asked. “You fell asleep after you did three shots of jaeger with the
bride and groom and then something called a ‘blowjob’ with the
other bridesmaids. Which was quite entertaining, I have to say. I said
good bye to everyone for both of us, and brought you to my car.”
Norah walked in the hotel room, and stood while she
watched Liam take off his jacket, loosed his tie and took off his
shoes. He pulled out his shirt from his pants and started to unbutton
it.
“I was the envy of every girl in the room tonight. They all
loved you, and thought you were so handsome.” He walked to her
and kissed her lightly on her lips. His hands found the zipper on her
dress and pulled it down. He helped her step out of it, and then she
sat down while he took off her shoes. He knelt in front of her and
took in her pale pink undergarments.
“Well the opinion of only one girl in the room made a
difference to me.” “Oh come on, you can’t tell me that all those women looking
at you, wanting you, saying you’re the best looking man in the room,
or that they have ever seen…..you loved it,…..you know it. I know it!”
she laughed. “They were all looking at you……and me.
Thinking…..why is he with her?” she laughed again. “If they knew you
bought me, I think it would make more sense to them or maybe less
sense, now that I think about it.”
“Norah, don’t say that,” he pulled her up to him.
“Why it’s true, right? How much did you pay for me
anyway?” she asked. He lowered his eyes and then looked back at
her.
“You’re drunk. You don’t know what you’re saying. Come on,
let’s go to bed.” He pulled her arm and she took a step forward.
“No. I want to know. How much did you pay for me?” she
asked again. He turned his back to her, then slowly faced her.
“You really want to know? Because once I tell you, you can’t
un-know it, Norah.” “You really want to continue in this relationship knowing how
much I spent on you?” She crossed her arms against her chest.
“Yes.” He ran his hands through his hair and over his face.
“I thought we were trying to move past this and have
something normal? You think you can know how much I paid for you
and still have a normal relationship with me?”
“Yes.”
“Fine. 1.5 million dollars. Come on, let’s go to bed.” Norah
grabbed her stomach and swayed back and forth.
“I think I’m going to be sick,” she said and she sat on the
floor. He knelt in front of her.
“See this is why I didn’t want you to know.”
“That is a lot of money, Liam. How can I ever live up to that?”
she asked. “Why would you spend that much on someone you didn’t
even know?” He touched her face. “I didn’t even know what the bid was after the first few times
I hit the button. I just knew I had to have you. I told you, you looked
sad, and I had this overwhelming feeling to have you with me. It
didn’t matter how much it cost me.”
“You didn’t even know what the bid was? So you would have
spent more?”
“Yes, without question.”
“How high would you have gone?”
“As high as I needed to go. I am a billionaire, Norah, money
isn’t a problem for me. Can we go to bed now? Please?”
“Good Lord, Liam.” He picked her up from the floor.
“It doesn’t matter how much money I spent on you, or how
much I would have spent. You’re with me now, you don’t owe me
anything. After my treatment of you in the first month, I think we are
even. I don’t want to discuss it again.” He took her hand and walked
to the bedroom. They crawled in the bed together and Liam wrapped his arms
around Norah. “I know we have a lot more to talk about, but we can
talk in the morning. I just want to hold you now, please.” He pressed
his head to her forehead. They laid quietly in each other’s arms both
heavy with thoughts.
Chapter twenty one
Norah
I had no idea when I asked how much he spent on me that it
was that much. I knew he was rich and it was a high end auction with
high rollers, but I had no idea they were that high. I didn’t think it
would matter to me but it did. He saved me from a life of sexual
slavery by spending 1.5 million dollars for me. He didn’t even know
me. He whipped out his credit card and bought someone he wanted
to make smile. What if I had been smiling already? I wonder if he
would have bid at all. Now this same man who spent all this money
was in love with me and offering marriage. He wants to share his life
with me. His life in England. Of course I would move to be with him. I
loved him, and after the amount of money he spent on me, there
was no way I could tell him I didn’t want to leave my family again. He grip tightened around my waist and I felt his hands move
my legs up to my chest. I was laying on my side, so this put me in an
L position. He ran his hand over my behind and pulled at my panties.
“Norah? Are you awake?” he whispered in the dark. I moved
my body to show him I was awake and willing for what he wanted. I
moved my hand to his leg to find he was already naked. He kissed
the back of my neck and shoulders. I moved my upper body and took
off my bra. He pulled it from me and grasped my breasts in both
hands.
“You feel so good. I’ve missed this so much,” he kept kissing
neck and sucked on my earlobe.
“It’s only been five days, Liam.” I moved my ass against his
crotch. He pulled my panties down and completely off.
“It feels like longer.” He put my legs back in the L position and
kneeled with one knee beside my legs and the other along my back.
He entered me from behind and leaned forward. One hand was in front of me near my chest, and the other
behind me close to my back. His hips moved and he breathed in and
out like he was working out. He leaned in and kissed me hard then
lingered over my face.
“Does that feel good, baby?” he asked as he moved faster. I
nodded and closed my eyes. We were barley touching each other
but somehow this felt deeper and more intense. He leaned back on
his knees and kept moving his hips. He ran his hand over my ass, and
kept breathing hard.
“Ah….Oh….God Norah….you feel amazing, baby.” He moved
my top leg over his hip, and thrust harder and faster. He leaned his
head back and closed his eyes. His grip tighten on my hip and he kept
pulling me to him faster. I could see by the look on his face that he
was another world. “Fuck….I’m gonna come……yes, baby…..yes,
baby.” He movements got slower and he leaned back down to kiss
me and ran his hands over my body. His kissed my lips then traveled down to my neck and
breasts. “That was so good, Norah.” Then he leaned back and looked
in my eyes.
“Did you come?” he asked like it was an afterthought. “Shit,
Norah, I’m sorry.” He leaned back and pulled himself from my body. I
leaned up and kissed him lips.
“It’s okay, it isn’t a big deal. It was nice being close to you. I
loved that position. It was so hot. And I could see that you really
enjoyed it too.” I scooted to the edge of the bed so I could get up
and get some water. His hand stopped me and wrapped around my
waist. He scooted behind me.
“Norah, Dammit. Our first time back together and I’m so
selfish I don’t even let you come? That’s fucked up.” I turned to look
at him over my shoulder.
“It’s fine, really.” He held me tighter and I felt his hand move
between my thighs to my sex. “Stop, you don’t have to, it’s okay.” He parted my legs and laid so his body was still behind me
but his head was in my lap. He ran his thumb my clit and massaged it
in circles. My breathing picked up and I rolled my head back and
closed my eyes. I felt him lean forward and lick my clit softly. He
moved my legs apart some more, and I brought one foot up on the
bed. His tongue stayed at the top of my pussy but he licked me like a
cat drinking milk. I ran my hands through his hair and leaned back on
my elbows. Watching him lick me always turned me on. He kept
licking me as I came and tugged at his hair. I had to push him away
when I didn’t think I could take anymore. He leaned up and wiped his
mouth on the sheet.
“I’m an equal opportunity pleasure provider,” he laughed. “I
guarantee you come and don’t stop until you do.” We both laughed.
I got up and went to the bathroom. I needed water. I came back to
the bed and Liam was sitting up leaning against the headboard. “Don’t ever let me do that to you, Norah. If I’m about to
come and you haven’t, tell me to stop.” I crawled over him and
cuddled up next to him.
“It’s that easy for you? Don’t come, and you don’t?” I looked
up at him.
“Well it isn’t easy, but I like to think I can control it. I don’t
know what happened just now, I usually pay close attention. You got
me so distracted.” He kissed the top of my head.
“Like I said, it isn’t that important.” I looked up at him. “Not
that I want to be left out all the time, but I like just being close to
you.” He slumped down in the bed and held me while I fell asleep on
his shoulder.
*****
Liam laid with Norah in his arms and thought about all the
things he had said to her that day. Guilt overwhelmed him. Seeing her with her family and friends made him feel selfish
for wanting to take her away again. She was relaxed and confident
around them, but was tense and bottled up with him. He knew he
had caused her to hold back her feelings from him. He had made her
fear living out in the world without him. Watching her talk with
people, dance, drink and even make her speech at the reception
made him realize what an extremely capable woman she truly was. If
he took her back with him, she would concede to his every demand,
live a life of submission to him, and now knowing how much he paid
for her, for the rest of her life, she would feel as if he owned her.
And he really couldn’t blame her for that. Did he really think, deep
down in his darkest place, that he didn’t own her? He said he didn’t,
he even told her he didn’t want to own her, but was that the truth?
No, it wasn’t. He did want to own her, he did think she belonged to
him. If he took her back with him she would live her life for him, and
rarely see her family. She would live a double life, submitting to his
wishes, and being a confident, relaxed girl for her family. How long until he just broke her down completely and took
away her confidence all together? He couldn’t do that to her. She
didn’t choose this life, and she knew so little about it. It had taken
him over two years to fully understand it, and he was still learning
new things about himself every day. He made her think this was
what she wanted, but he knew she didn’t. She looked at home and
happy here in Las Vegas. This was where she needed to stay. No
matter what his feelings were, how selfish he was, and how much he
wanted to take her with him, he couldn’t do that to her.
Chapter twenty two
Norah woke alone in the bed and ran her hand over Liam’s
side. It was cold like he had been out of bed for a while. She leaned
up and saw him sitting in the corner dressed in black slacks and
white polo shirt. He was moving his leg up and down like he was
nervous about something. She looked around the room and saw his
bags were packed and her clothes were folded neatly in the chair
beside the bed.
“Are we going somewhere?” she asked as she pulled the
sheet up from the bed and wrapped it around her body.
“Yes. You’re going home, and I’m going back to London.” His
leg never stopped moving.
“What? What are you talking about? Did something
happen?” she moved to the edge of the bed closer to him. “No.” He stood up and walked to the other side of the room.
“I just need to get back and you need to stay here.” He turned and
faced her again.
“Why are you moving away from me? Did I do something
wrong?” she took another step in his direction and he took a step
back. “Stop. Stop trying to move away from me.”
“Norah, I’m not in the mood for games this morning. Get
dressed so I can take you home.” He sounded very unemotional and
completely turned off, like the old Liam.
“No. Not until you tell me what’s going on.” She sat down on
the bed and crossed her arms.
“What’s going on is,” Liam took a deep breath, what he was
about to say was going to rip him apart and her too. “We don’t
belong together, Norah. I thought about it last night, and I can’t have
you in London, I don’t know what I was thinking when I said I could.” “You should be here with your family.” He lowered his eyes
and ran his hand over the back of his neck.
“What are you talking about?” her voice was very soft.
“I’m talking about us. We don’t belong together. I don’t know
why I even came here. I should have just left you alone.”
“You said you wanted to marry me!” she was yelling now.
“You told me to plan a big wedding! What happened to all that?” She
stood up.
“Like I said, I don’t know what I was thinking when I said
those things. Really, a guy like me married, please that’s a joke
right?” He forced a smile across his face.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are saying this? You know I
wil
l go with you. I don’t care about being married.”
“You can’t move in with me. You need your family and they
need you. I can’t ask you to leave them again. And marriage is
important to you, don’t pretend it isn’t.” “I’m going with you!”
“Well I don’t want you to. I don’t want you.” Norah felt like
her heart had just been ripped out. He didn’t want her? What was he
talking about? He was so loving and passionate last night. He flew
here for her, and asked her to marry him. Why was he being so
different now? What had happened in the last few hours that made
him change his mind?
“You don’t mean that!” she barely spit out. Liam closed his
eyes and cursed himself for what he was about to say.
“Yes, I do. I thought about it last night, and we just don’t have
anything in common. I need something else, someone else, who likes
the things I like.”
“What are you talking about, Liam? Where is this coming
from?”
“Do I have to spell it out for you, Norah?” “Yeah, I guess you do!” He swallowed hard. He knew this was
it, there was no going back. If he really wanted to push her away this
was going to do it. She would never forgive him.
“I want someone a little more adventurous in bed. I want
someone who will let me tie her up, and spank her ass, fuck her ass
even. I want someone who will suck me off while my friends watch.
Too bad really, I paid a lot of money for you and my investment just
didn’t pan out. Honestly, I just don’t want to own you. And I don’t
think I will ever be able to look at you and not think of you as
something I bought!” Norah’s face was covered in tears, but she
could see Liam was having a hard time saying these words to her.
She knew what he was trying to do, she just didn’t know why.
“Stop hiding behind this stupid lifestyle of yours! You don’t
mean any of the things you just said! You’re just being an asshole
and trying to get me to hate you!” Norah saw the tears rolling down
Liam’s cheek. “If you were so convinced that what you said was true, you
wouldn’t be crying! I don’t know what made you change your mind
last night, I have done everything you asked of me and even things
you didn’t! I told you I was open to learn about the things you liked
to do. But if you don’t want me, all you have to say is that you don’t
