“I’m soo sorry Richard.” She looked at him in shock and tenderly grabbed his hand.
“It’s okay.” He looked at her with a half-smile. “After that I was shipped to the States to live with Ben and David. Classmates assumed we were brothers because we were all Beekman’s and it pleased them so I just went along with it. Though, I never could understand why people accepted it so easily as they are all blond and I am as dark as night.” He half-grinned at her. “I guess maybe they thought I was a bastard kid.”
“I doubt anyone thought that.” Louise leaned into him. “You are way too confident for anyone to think you were anything less than legitimate.”
“Thanks.” He put his arm around her shoulder and she rested her head on his chest as they rode along on the bus. “Ben still resents me for taking over the family business. He thinks it should be his, but it was my inheritance that was used to expand the company and so technically it is mine and mine alone.”
“But I thought there was a trust?” She looked at him in confusion.
“I set that up separately. I didn’t want Ben or David to have something I didn’t. They really are like my brothers.”
“I see.” She paused, not wanting to bring up the fact that he had slept with her while she had been dating Ben. That didn’t seem like a very brotherly thing to do.
“So I thought we would get off at Oxford Street and walk to Regent Street and go into China town for some food later. Is that okay?”
“Yeah, it sounds good.” She smiled shyly at him. “Can we go to Piccadilly Circus as well?”
“Of course.” He paused. “And tomorrow we can go to Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace if you want.”
“That sounds amazing.” Louise spoke excitedly, unable to believe how lucky she was.
“They have an Egyptian exhibit at the British Museum if you want to check that out as well.”
“You like museums?” She looked at him in surprise.
“I was an Art history major in college.” He grinned at her, laughing at the look on her face.
“No way.”
“Yes, way.” He jumped up. “Come on, this is our stop.”
“Yes, my lord.” She jumped up behind him and they burst out laughing.
“I hope you remember that I’m your Lord tonight.” He whispered in her ear and winked at her and she flushed with excitement. So maybe he wasn’t planning on them sleeping in completely separate beds.
Chapter 13
Louise stared at Richard as he played with a giant Teddy bear in Hamleys, the largest toy store in the world and laughed at the looks he was getting from parents escorting their children through the store.
“I think we better leave before someone calls the cops on us.” Louise grabbed Richard as he started waving at kids using the arm of the teddy bear.
“What? I was just getting in to it.” He grinned at her.
“We don’t want people thinking you are some sort of pedophile as opposed to a hardworking millionaire with a penchant for toys.”
“That’s true.” He grabbed her hand and they ran out of the store. “Okay, where to next?”
“Let’s eat. I’m famished.” She smiled at him and licked her lips.
“I’m feeling kind of horny too. What did you have in mind?” He wriggled his hips and she laughed.
“Not that kind of hunger you perv. I want food.”
“Okay, I know a good spot.” He linked his arm through hers and his eyes sparkled as she looked back at him and smiled.
“Then let’s go my lord.” She squealed when he hit her in the butt and growled.
“Just wait til we get home you wrench.” He pulled her towards him with a kiss and she melted into him in complete happiness kissing him back heartily. “Louise, I think we better wait until we get back to the hotel.” He pulled away from her reluctantly and grabbed her hand again.
They ended up sharing a couple of different dishes of Chinese food and Louise had never felt so full and satisfied. “This is delicious,” She said licking her lips. “I feel like I’m ready for bed right now.” She rubbed her tummy.
“Ooh really?”
“For sleep,” She laughed at him. “You goof.” She sat back in her chair and thought about how happy she felt in this moment. This absolutely perfect moment. If she closed her eyes, she could pretend that they were a normal loving couple and that the rest of their lives would continue this way. She didn’t want to think about Monique or Richard’s issues with love and relationships. She was glad he had told her about his parents as she figured that his issues stemmed from his mothers cheating. She wished she could tell him that all women were not like that but she knew that she would be the last person that he would believe, seeing as she had been dating his brother when she first met him. And hadn’t even been going to his room when she hooked up with him. She sighed. She felt like he most probably thought she was some sort of whore, when she was anything but that.
“Hey, you okay?” He looked at her in concern and she made sure to smile at him brightly. She didn’t want to bring up the reality of their situation in this perfect moment.
“Yes. Yes. I’m great.”
“Good. We have one more stop before we head back to the hotel.” He left some notes on the table and jumped up. “Come on, we are headed to Soho.”
“What’s in Soho?” She looked at him curiously, wondering what their next stop would be.
“You’ll see.” He grinned at her and winked and she wondered what was going on.
***
As soon as they got to Soho, Louise knew that they were in a more eclectic part of the City. She was slowly falling in love with London and its mix of history, fashion and quaintness. She looked around her with interest. This was definitely a seedier part of town and she wondered where they were going. She wasn’t very shocked when Richard walked her into a sex-store and she wondered what toy they were going to buy.
“I see where your mind is.” She teased him as he walked towards the back of the store.
“Really?” He grinned at her and stopped in front of a row of toys. “Well, why don’t you tell me which toy we should buy?”
She looked at the variety of dildo’s, beads, clitoris stimulators and other toys and was surprised at how interesting some of them seemed. She could feel herself getting wet just thinking about the two of them using some of the toys. “You want me to choose?” She looked at him in surprise. She still felt a little shy actually choosing a toy.
“Yes. I want to see what interests you.” He smiled at her and wriggled an eyebrow. He took a step back and watched her as she surveyed the different toys.
“I don’t know what half of these things do.” She frowned and picked up something that looked like a little egg. “What is this for?”
“We could get it and find out.” Richard grinned at her and ran his hand down her ass. She felt his fingers push against her ass cheeks until she felt the light pressure of a finger at her asshole.
“Oh.” She gasped and put the egg back down quickly. “No thanks.”
“Aw.” He smiled and tapped her ass with his hand. “It can be great pleasurable.”
“That’s okay, thanks.” She smiled hesitantly and picked up some beads. “What are these for?”
“Same thing.”
“What?” She looked at him in confusion. “That makes no sense.”
He drew her towards him and put his hands down the back of her skirt cupping her ass again. Once again he placed his finger near her asshole and then whispered in her ear. “The beads go up there.” She felt his fingers there and jerked away from him. “Don’t worry. I wouldn’t take your anal cherry in a store.” He once again whispered in her ear. He slipped his fingers between her legs and rubbed her pussy, which was already wet. “Though it seems like you are quite excited by the idea.”
“No I’m not.” She denied, though she secretly wondered what it would be like to have Richard play with her in that way.
“Liar.�
�� He rubbed her clit quickly and she felt like she was about to come.
“No.” She closed her eyes and jumped when she heard a noise behind them. Richard removed his hands from under her skirt and grabbed her hand.
“Come.” He led her even further to the back of the room and took her into a room and closed the door.
“Where are we?” She looked around them in confusion. The room was small and dark and had a small TV in it. There was another door in the wall and Richard opened it and walked into the other room.
“Come in here.” He grabbed her and took her into the other room which was pitch black. “Take your panties off.” He commanded. She did so without question and slipped them into her bag. He grabbed her and bent her over until her ass was pressed against the wall. “Stay like this and do not move.” He walked back through the door and closed it. Louise stood there in the dark, unsure of what she was waiting for. She heard some noise from the other room and felt something move in the wall. All of a sudden she felt some cool air on her ass and she gasped as she felt something warm come through the wall slowly.
“Move your ass down a bit.” She heard Richard’s muffled voice through the wall and moved her ass down a bit. She immediately felt his penis push its way into her pussy and she groaned as he moved in and out of her through the wall. She realized that is was hard for him to move his cock in and out of the wall, so she started moving her body back and forth so that she was guiding his cock in and out of her. She came pretty quickly and felt his sperm running down her leg as he came. She groaned as she felt him withdraw his cock and then heard him come back through the door. He reached over to her and kissed her while picking her up and wrapping her legs around him.
“Welcome to your first glory hole sex.” He whispered in the dark as she felt him guide his cock into her again. She moaned as she felt herself coming again and Richard pushed her back against the wall as he continued slamming into her. When he came again, he groaned and spoke in her ear.
“Fuck Louise, you make me come like no other woman.” He growled as he shuddered against her and she felt her tummy spasm with lust and love for him.
They walked out of the room a few minutes later and Louise could barely walk straight. Richard grinned at her and smacked her ass. “You look like a woman who has just been fucked senseless.”
“Omg really?” Louise looked at him in panic, hoping it wouldn’t be that easy for the other people in the store and streets to see.
“Just to me because I know.” Their eyes met and Louise felt something pass between them.
They left the store without making any purchases and Louise snuggled next to him in the back of the cab. “Thanks for a perfect introduction to London.” She mumbled up at him sleepily.
“You’re welcome.” He kissed her head and watched her as she slept against him. He could feel an unfamiliar tug of tenderness in his heart as he watched her and he wondered at the feeling. He had never before met a woman like Louise and had never expected to feel anything like this before. It had him thinking that sometimes anything in life was possible.
Chapter 14
Louise slept peacefully and stretched lazily when she woke up. She was surprised to feel her arm hit something solid and her eyes flew open. She smiled happily as she looked at a naked Richard in her bed. They had had a passionate night and she felt satiated and happy, almost as if she were living in a dream world.
The phone rang and she reached over and grabbed it as Richard woke up.
“Hello,” She yawned into the phone.
“This is the front desk. There are two guests waiting for you and Mr. Beekman downstairs.”
“Really? Who?” She asked curiously.
“A David Beekman and Monique.” The man from the front desk continued as Louise felt the blood drain from her face.
“Ok, thanks.” She hung up the phone and saw that Richard had woken up. “David and Monique are here.” She said the words quickly before he could speak and she felt a sharp jab of pain as Richard jumped out of the bed.
“Oh shit.” He grabbed his tee shirt and boxers and put them on. “Did you know they were coming?”
“No.” She spoke softly feeling her heart break as he rushed to his room. “I guess I’ll see you later.” She mumbled to herself as he rushed through the door. All his concern for her was gone as he rushed off to his girlfriend Monique.
She lay there for a second before getting out of bed and heading for the shower. She paused hoping that Richard would come back to the room and apologize for just darting out. She felt used and worthless and cried as the water from the shower came crashing down on her, scalding her with its heat.
She got dressed slowly and went down to the lobby to see Richard, Monique and David sitting at the restaurant eating breakfast.
“There you are Louise.” David jumped up and rushed over to her, hugging him to her. “Surprise.”
“Hey.” She smiled up at him, trying to hide her pain. “What are you guys doing here?”
“Monique and I had to go to France to do a shoot for the commercial and we figured we could come over to London for the day to surprise you and Richard.” He grinned at her. “I figured you deserved a break and shouldn’t have to work on a Sunday.”
“Oh thanks.” She smiled weakly at him; not bothering to tell him how wonderful Richard had been to her the day before.
“I know what a slave-driver my brother can be.”
Louise wondered if she should tell David that she knew that Richard wasn’t really his brother but decided against it. It didn’t really matter. Just like she didn’t. She walked with David to the table and noticed that Monique’s hand was resting on Richards’s leg. The redhead looked as beautiful as ever and Louise felt an overwhelming hatred overcome her.
“Good Morning.” Richard smiled up at her with a strange look in his eyes and she turned her head away. This was her punishment for sleeping with a man in a relationship. No matter what type of relationship it was, she had no right to think it would become more. He had already told her where he stood.
“Morning.” She smiled weakly at him and blanched at the look of superiority that Monique gave her.
“Sleep well?” Richard’s eyes sparkled at his own words and Louise felt like slapping him.
“Not particularly. There was something hard and irritating in my bed.” She spat back at him. He squinted his eyes and frowned.
“We’ll have to talk later and see if we can sort it out.”
“That’s fine. I’ve already taken care of it.” She looked away from him and reached for the teapot so that she could drink something.
“I see.” He looked at her questioningly, like he didn’t have a clue what she was talking about and she ignored his look. She knew she was the fool who had fallen in love with someone who had promised nothing more than sex.
“Good.” She spoke sharply and noticed that both Monique and David were looking at her curiously. “So breakfast looks yummy.” She spoke lightly attempting to change the subject.
“It is delicious. I love English breakfasts.” David answered her eagerly while cutting into his sausage. “They eat soo heartily here.”
“Yes, they do.” She smiled at him, happy that it wasn’t just Monique who had come to London.
“So did Richard tell you the good news?” David spoke casually as he ate.
“No. What good news?” She looked over at Richard who was glaring at David.
“Nothing.” Richard’s voice was deep and he looked at her pleadingly as if begging her to change the subject.
“Go on Richard. Don’t be embarrassed.” David laughed.
“Leave it David.” Richard’s voice was harsh and he attempted a smile to soften his words.
“But honey, I think she should know.” Monique’s voice was sweet as syrup as she reached over and grabbed his hand. She turned to look at Louise and gave her a superior look. “The jeweler called me yesterday morning to say that my ring was ready.”
&
nbsp; “Ring?” Louise’s voice reflected her confusion.
“Well, he called me by mistake.” Monique’s laugh tinkled. “He was meant to call Richard and not me but he got confused. You see Richard had my name engraved in the engagement ring he got me. They didn’t realize he hadn’t proposed as yet.” She laughed again.
Louise felt the color drain from her face as she heard the words. “Engagement ring?”
“Of course, he hadn’t proposed as yet but I rushed here to tell him yes right away.” Monique laughed happily. “I didn’t have it in me to pretend that I didn’t know of his intentions.”
