Hey guys here is another update, thanks for the reviews! Keep them coming!
Lucy fell asleep in the car on the way to the Lakeview, so here I am, in the elevator with her cuddled in my arms. I knew that Lucy wore perfume, and I knew that it smelt like vanilla, but Holy Hell! When Lucy is this close to me, I could REALLY smell it, and God was it driving me nuts! All I want to do is kiss her and kiss her until she is breathless, or at least moaning my name in that way that she does.
When we got up to my penthouse I went straight into the bedroom and covered Lucy up with the blanket. I then went into the living room so that I could make some phone calls; mostly to Metro making sure that Aaron is doing ok running the show. I also call one of my suppliers, they have been giving Aaron trouble and I need to make sure that they know that they are expendable and that I can always find a new supplier. That call didn't go well, the supplier didn't think that he needed to treat us with respect...
"I don't care who that kid is, I've been in this business a lot longer then both of you together, and you don't get to tell me how to act!"
"Look buddy, I own Metro, and when I'm not there, Aaron is in charge! SO if he says that we didn't get a shipment or that the shipment was only half filled, then YOU fix it! I don't want any more trouble or we will have to go to another supplier, which I KNOW will hurt your business, since we make up over half of your buyers! So you WILL show Aaron more respect, not because that's what's right, but because if I hear that you have given him trouble again, I WILL terminate your contract!"
I woke up a little while ago in the most comfy bed I have ever been in. It smelt like Old Spice, whisky and cigars, a smell that is most defiantly Dusty. I was so happy that I just snuggled back down and breathed it in. Then I heard Dusty, he sounded mad and was yelling, I couldn't hear another voice so I knew that he was on the phone, I was worried at who could be on the other side, especially when I heard Aaron's name. So I got up to investigate, I stood up against the door jam as Dusty yelled at one of his suppliers because he had been giving Aaron trouble. Dusty always looks out for the people that he cares about and I guess that includes Aaron, which is good, because Dusty needs friends – some guy friends at that. I was content just to stand there forever and listen to Dusty, he gets so worked up and its really adorable. Especially since he hadn't noticed that I was up from my nap yet. He finally ended the call saying that he would terminate the contract that's when I made my presence known...
"Wow Dusty, that was quite a show"
I said this to him as I crawled up onto his lap, and started to kiss his neck and face....
"Hey Princess, did you enjoy your nap? Mmm Luce, Lucy..."
"Yeah I did Dusty, but I was disappointed to wake up alone, you should have joined me in bed. I woulda liked waking up next to you a lot better..."
I know that that was a low blow. I can see how worked up Dusty is getting, and all we are doing is kissing and petting, and when I said that I would have liked to wake up to him I can feel the proof of how much Dusty would of liked to do that.
"God Princess, your killing me, don't say things that you don't mean, because you may be surprised to see them come true."
God I want her, I want Lucy Montgomery so much that it hurts, I mean physically and literally. I want to be with her always, I want to spend the rest of my life trying to make her happy. I want her so much, but I know that she isn't ready. If we made love right now, we'd both always wonder if we did it because of what we were feeling about Craig and the whole kidnapping. I don't want that for Lucy, she deserves special, she should have candles and champagne, roses and pretty words. Things that I don't have right now, so as much as I know how much I want this, it can't happen right now. But soon very soon...
"Mmm Luce, stop...honey stop...Mmm Lucy, we have to stop, we can't do this right now, we have stop..."
Dusty is enjoying this, but he's telling me to stop. So I stop, and there is a look of desperation, and relief on his face. I think that he wants it, but for some reason he won't or at least not tonight. Which I guess is all right because I'm still so mad at Craig and Dusty deserves for me to have my whole heart in the act and not to have me distracted by something as heartbreaking as my father. So I climb off of his lap and suggest that we go out and get some dinner. Dusty agrees and we head to Metro. The car ride over there was quite, but it wasn't an uncomfortable silence, just the silence of two people that were so comfortable with each other that there was no need to be talking. The one thing we did do on the ride over was hold hands, as soon as we got in the car, Dusty grabbed my hand, lifted it to his lips and wouldn't let go the entire time, so our hands rested on center console the whole time. When we got to Metro Dusty opened all the doors for me; and kept my hand in a firm grip as if to say "This is my girl" that mentally would come in handy when we entered the club, because low and behold who should be waiting at the bar, but Aunt Lily and Grandmother, and they looked as Dusty would put it, REALLY PISSED. As we walked down the stairs Dusty kissed the top of my head as if to give me strength, and guided me right in front of Lily and Grandmother.
"Lily, Grandmother, what are you guys doing here? Shouldn't you be home with the kids tonight Lily, and I thought that you said that you weren't going to be home from your business trip for at least another 3 days Grandmother?"
"Well Lucy, I would be home with my children and Holden, but I got the most disturbing call from your father today, it seems that he is in jail again and that Hal is charging him with your kidnapping. He called me so that I could try and get him out, he also wanted me to check on you, Craig said that Dusty pulled you away against your will. That sounded a lot like Dusty so I wanted to make sure that you were ok. I tried you cell phone but you weren't answering, so I called your Grandmother and told her to meet me here, since I knew that you would eventually show up here with him."
"I was so worried Lucy when Lily said that she couldn't get a hold of you and that Dusty had forcefully made you leave, are you ok? That scum didn't hurt you did he?"
Ok, there is only so much that a man can take, I mean are those Walsh women dense or somethin', God I'm standing right HERE, I can hear everything that they are saying, all the thinly veiled insults. I'm getting suck of it, suck of them ganging up on Lucy, trying to get her to stop seeing me. I'm sick of the suggestion that I'm not good enough. I was good enough twenty years ago for Lily, I know that I have changed, but I'm trying to be a better person, one deserving of Lucy, but that's between me and her, not us and the whole Walsh/Montgomery clan. As Lily is bullying Lucy, I can see the light start going out of her eyes again. I can see her eyes filling with tears, they won't be spilled, but their there never the less and that is unexceptable. Lucy shouldn't have to deal with this too. Her family should respect her, even if they don't agree with her choices.
"THAT'S ENOUGH! LUCINDA, LILY GET OUT OF MY CLUB! YOU CAN'T SPEAK TO HER, OR ME THAT WAY, EXPECIALLY SINCE IT'S MY CLUB! I DIDN'T HURT LUCY, I JUST GAVE HER A PLACE TO REST! WE CAME TO METRO TO HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT, NOT TO BE INTEROGATED BY YOU! AND JUST FOR YOU INFORMATION BEFORE YOU START PICKING ON LUCY AGAIN, YOU SHOULD GO AND TALK TO HAL OR NIKKI, THEY'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED AT THE STATION, AND IT'S NOT WHAT CRAIG HAD YOU BELIEVING! OH AND ONE MORE THING I WOULD NEVER EVER HURT LUCY! NOW GET OUT OF MY CLUB AND DON'T COME BACK!"
The look on my Grandmother's face was one of pure amazement, as if she couldn't believe that anyone would talk to her that way, let alone have Dusty Donavon do the yelling. Aunt Lily was another story completely. She looked like she was getting ready to fight...I think that her and Holden are having problems and she likes taking them out on Dusty and I. I shoot her a warning look, telling her to get the hell outta here before I start in on her too. They finally leave and Dusty leads me to my seat, a quite table for two in the corner. He pulls my chair out for me and as he does, I say...
"Wow that was interesting, I'll never forget the look on their faces while you were yelling at them! It was Hillarious! Thank you Dusty!"
All Dusty can do is shoot me a look......
