I'm Yours
Chapter 3: Dirty Minds
Rufus did end up surviving the wait, even though he had had doubts. The time between then and the trip had flown by, and now, he and Lily found themselves at the airport, waiting for their plane to arrive.
"This is going to be a long flight. We're going to want to eat on a full stomach. I also would like to get some magazines and a good book," Lily announced, once they had checked their luggage in.
"If we can afford it after what they charged for our luggage to be stowed. A hundred and thirty dollars total just to store five bags? We've been robbed," Rufus grumbled as he stuffed his wallet back into his pocket.
Lily smiled, and latched onto his arm. "I'm sorry I had so many suitcases. I just really want to look good for you, and we will be gone for a week. That's a lot of things to pack!"
"I'm not upset you packed so much, Lil. Though, if you stayed naked the whole time, things would have been a lot cheaper for us." He grinned, and wriggled his eyebrows up and down suggestively.
Lily rolled her eyes, but grinned. "Even when we go out on those excursions you paid for? You really wouldn't mind all the Hawaiian men looking at me?"
Rufus's expression hardened. "Good point. You should have packed a parka."
Lily giggled, and kissed her husband's cheek. "I love you."
He looked at her, and kissed her sweetly on the lips. "I love you too." He went back to being annoyed. "It's not the amount of bags you brought that annoys me, but rather the price they charge per bag! It's insane! It's not like they don't have a ton of cargo space below the plane. All they have to do is load it. It's definitely not worth a hundred and thirty dollars to place five bags, which are probably loaded by five different people, making it only one bag a person!"
Lily rolled her eyes. "Rufus, it's our honeymoon. So what if we splurge a little? It's not like we can't afford it."
"It's just the principle," Rufus grumbled.
They arrived at the food court. "Well, the only thing I'm concerned about right now is filling up my stomach," Lily said, eyeing the food court. She didn't get out of New York as much as she'd like, and when she did, she usually just took the train. It's not like she'd never been to the airport before, but it still amazed her. All the hustle and bustle, people quickly moving to get where they needed to be. It was like the city only indoors. Even though it was just an airport, and she of course had been to many rich and elegant events, she still felt like she was some place exotic.
She tugged at Rufus' arm. "Let's eat here." She pulled him into the Tuscany Café without waiting for a response.
Rufus sighed. He didn't want to be a grouch on their honeymoon, so, even though they technically weren't on their honeymoon yet, he let it go. There was no use in complaining, he knew. The prices were what they were.
They ordered their food, Lily opting for a lightly buttered croissant and orange juice, and Rufus opting for a bagel with cream cheese and a small coffee with cream. They enjoyed their meals as they sat across from each other.
"So, what excursions did you pay for?" Lily asked with a smile between bites.
Rufus swallowed the bit of bagel he had been eating, and took a sip of his coffee before answering. "Well, I got us a day at a private island. We'll go on a half hour boat ride to the private island, and spend a couple of hours there."
Lily smiled big. "Really? Oh, Rufus that sounds like Heaven!"
Rufus grinned. "The boat line owns the island, and so there will be no other passengers but the ones on our boat.
Lily took a sip of her orange juice, then moaned. "Heaven on earth for sure!"
"I also booked us a helicopter tour so we can see the volcanos and the different islands. Then of course I booked some sailing and snorkeling. There's an Atlantis submarine excursion. Oo, and I also booked us a wine tasting excursion. There's a hike in the rainforest. There's a luau one night too." Rufus grinned. "We can't go to Hawaii without doing a luau!"
Lily, who had just finished her croissant, wiped her mouth with her napkin. "Rufus, you are too good to me."
Rufus reached across the small table, and gently stroked her cheek. "Nothing's too good for my wife. This honeymoon is long overdue. I just want it to be special for you. I'm only sorry it took so long."
Lily nuzzled her cheek against his hand, then set her napkin back down, took his hand between hers, and kissed it. Then, she grinned up at him. "You're also sorry about the price to stow the bags in the plane's cargo."
Rufus rolled his eyes. "Don't get me started again! He grinned at her nonetheless, and Lily grinned back at him.
They then both went back to eating their breakfast, both so eager to start their honeymoon. It had been a long time coming.
After they had their breakfast, they headed to the Hudson News store so that Lily could get her magazines and book.
"Let's get one of these!" Rufus suggested. He picked up a Penthouse Magazine. He grinned at Lily, and wriggled his eyebrows up and down. "There's something in here for both of us."
Lily shot him an unamused look. "So you need to look at other women because I'm not good enough on my own?" She crossed her arms over her chest, tapped her foot, and raised an eyebrow.
Rufus blushed, and put the magazine back. "I was only joking. Okay, half joking." He wrapped his hands around Lily's waist. "You know you're the only woman I need to look at. But it's still fun to look at other women's bodies sometimes. It's like your favorite movie or book. Just because you watch other movies or read other books, it doesn't mean your favorite movie or book isn't your favorite just because you looked at others."
"That's some kind of reasoning," Lily stated, still not amused. However, she lowered her eyebrow, stopped tapping her foot, and uncrossed her arms. "Anyway, wouldn't it bother you if I looked at other naked men?"
Rufus shook his head. "Not if you didn't know said men, and as long as you'd never look at said men naked in person. They'd have to be men you'd never meet in your life, like in the magazine!" He picked it up with grin, and waved it at her.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Ugh! I'm going to go find a good book," she said before taking off to do just that.
Rufus shrugged, then looked at the magazine again.
"You should get that one. It's amazing!"
Lily looked up from the book she had been reading the description of, and saw a tall, good-looking man with chiseled cheeks, black hair, and bright blue eyes grinning at her, displaying dimples in his cheeks and a line of perfect white teeth.
She smiled. "Is it?"
He nodded. "I read it during my last business trip. I found it here, and was intrigued by the description. I was so enthralled with it, I was finished by the time I got to my destination. It had only been a four-hour flight too. It just kept my interest so much, and it was a very easy read. It wasn't too deep or anything."
Lily smiled. "Well, if it's that good, I guess I've found my choice!" She held the book to her chest, and grinned up at the man. He was rather good-looking, she couldn't quite deny.
He extended his hand to her. "I'm Damien Sharp."
Lily grinned, and extended her hand to him. "I'm Lily Humphrey."
He shook her hand. "It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Lily." He kissed her hand.
Lily giggled. "Charmed, I'm sure." She wanted to smack herself as soon as she'd said it. Charmed, I'm sure? Gosh, she sounded like she was on one of those cheesy old movies from decades ago.
"So, where's a beautiful woman like you headed?" Damien asked her.
Lily smiled. She opened her mouth to tell him about Hawaii.
Rufus didn't give her the chance. He came over to her, wrapped an arm possessively around her waist, and pulled her tightly to him. "We're going to Hawaii for a belated honeymoon," he answered for her. He extended his hand out to Damien. "Hello. I'm Rufus Humphrey—Lily's husband."
Damien grinned—unfazed—and shook Rufus' hand. "It's nice to meet you, Rufus! You're a lucky man, having such a beautiful wife."
Rufus smiled at Lily. "I know I am." He kissed her sweetly on the lips.
"Well, have fun in Hawaii. A second honeymoon. That's nice!" Damien said sincerely. "I'm stuck going to Chicago. It's not a bad city, but it sure doesn't compare to Hawaii! I'm not even going there for pleasure. I'm going there on business."
"What do you do?" Lily asked him.
"I work for a publishing company. I'm meeting with a client who has a potential bestseller we're going to buy off of her," Damien answered.
"Well, good luck with that then! I hope you have a safe trip," Lily said kindly.
"Thanks! I hope you guys have a safe trip too." Damien looked from Lily to Rufus to back to Lily again. His eyes stayed on Lily for a bit, then he nodded a politely at them.
"Thanks," Rufus said to him. He turned to Lily. "Our plane will be here soon. We better go."
"All right. I still have to pick out my magazines." Lily turned back to Damien. "It was nice meeting you!"
"You too," Damien said.
Rufus nodded at Damien. "See ya." Then, he led Lily away. "I don't like the way he was looking at you like you're a piece of meat. Did you see the way his eyes lingered all over your body when we were saying our goodbyes?" Rufus asked her.
Lily smirked. "Rufus, what are you talking about? His eyes were not lingering all over my body."
"Yes, they were! I'm a guy. When another man has their eyes on his woman, a guy notices." Rufus crossed his arms over his chest, and shot a nasty look toward Damien. Damien didn't notice, for his back was faced to them as he looked over the books.
Lily rolled her eyes. "You're just being silly." She began to browse through the magazines.
"I saw you smiling at him. Would you say he is good-looking?" Rufus asked.
"Yes, Rufus, he was handsome. Is there something wrong with that?" Lily asked browsing through a Redbook magazine.
"Actually, I think there's nothing wrong with looking at another member of the opposite sex because I know you only love me, and you know I only love you," Rufus stated, his arms still crossed over his chest.
Lily raised an eyebrow at him. "You're being awfully mature."
"Would you say I am right?" Rufus asked her.
Lily nodded. "Of course! You are exactly right. So there should be no problem with me having talked to Damien, or with me thinking he is handsome."
Rufus grinned. "Just as there is no problem with me—or us—looking at a Penthouse magazine because you know I think your body is the most beautiful body in the world, and you think my body is the most beautiful body in the world."
"Don't flatter yourself, Rufus," Lily said, not looking up from the Cosmopolitan magazine she was now looking over.
Rufus didn't know what to say to that. He just opened his mouth as if to say something, then closed it, not knowing what to say.
Lily smirked up at him. "Got ya!"
Rufus rolled his eyes. "That was just rude."
Lily pulled him close, and kissed him long and hard.
They were both panting for air when she broke the kiss.
"Forgiven?" she asked him with a sly smile on her face.
Rufus' eyes lowered, and he leaned down and kissed her just as passionately on the lips. "Forgiven."
Lily grinned, and then grabbed his hand, and led him to the cash registers, her Redbook, Cosmopolitan, and book in her free hand.
"I'm so not looking forward to a fifteen hour flight," Lily said with a sigh as she got comfortable in her window seat.
"It will all be worth it though. Had we taken a boat, we wouldn't have been there until next year," Rufus joked.
Lily smirked. "It wouldn't take that long. It would probably take about a week. That's still long though, I know. Flying is definitely the best way to go."
Rufus grinned at Lily. "Jenny was upset we didn't invite her to Hawaii. She wanted to go so badly."
"I wouldn't think she'd want to be on our honeymoon with us," Lily said with a smile.
Rufus shook his head. "Oh, she doesn't. She said she'd be getting a different hotel entirely. And she'd be bringing her new boyfriend. Like I'd ever pay for that! If we do ever come back to Hawaii and bring the kids down, he's not invited. His name's Ryan, but he goes by he name of Crusher. He has his own rock band called the Destroyers. Jenny sent me a picture of him. He's got tattoos and piercings all over the place. She's lucky she doesn't live with me, and that she's eighteen now. Otherwise, there isn't a chance in hell I'd let her date that loser."
Lily latched onto Rufus' arm and smiled. "I'm sure he's still a nice boy. Let's not judge him now. Jenny is a smart girl. I'm sure she knows how to make the right decisions when it comes to men."
Rufus raised an eyebrow at her. "What about losing her virginity to Chuck?"
"Chuck's a good man," Lily said, not wanting to admit she was wrong.
"But wrong for Jenny," Rufus insisted.
"She's grown since then," Lily shot back.
Rufus nodded. "Maybe so. It still doesn't mean I have to like him. I'm sure there have been many of Serena's boyfriends that you didn't like. What about Ben?"
Lily blushed. "Point taken."
The pilot announced their approaching takeoff, and the stewardesses went through the whole safety spill.
Five minutes later, the plane was taxiing off the runway.
Lily squeezed Rufus' hand tightly. "This is the one part of flying that I hate."
Rufus kissed her hand. "We'll be fine."
"That's what Aaliyah, Patsy Cline. John Denver, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens all thought," Lily quipped back.
"In all fairness, three of those people were on the same plane," Rufus said calmly. He kissed her hand again. "Besides, if we die, at least we'll be together, right?"
Lily hid her face in his shoulder, and closed her eyes as they continued to ascend. "Somehow that does not make me feel any better, Rufus!"
"If we die, let's hope it's on the plane back. That way, at least we'll have gotten to go to Hawaii and had our honeymoon," Rufus teased.
"Rufus, you are not helping!" Lily cried out, her words muffled from her lips being pressed to his shoulder.
Rufus held her in his arms, and gently rubbed her back. "Lily, we'll be fine. I promise you."
"You can't promise that. You have no way of knowing for sure," Lily said to him.
"Well, now you're starting to make me nervous!" Rufus said.
They held each other tightly, and didn't relax until the pilot announced how many feet up they were, therefore signaling their ascent was complete.
"Let's just not think about how high up we are," Rufus stated.
Lily nodded. "Agreed."
Soon after, the stewardess came with snacks and drinks, so it took Rufus and Lily's minds off things. It wasn't long after that that neither of them paid any mind to the fact that they were thousands of miles in the air.
In fact, in what seemed like hardly any time at all, they arrived in Los Angeles for their two and a half hour layover.
They got a quick lunch, and looked around the shops.
"It's too bad we don't have time to leave and come back. We could have checked out LA a bit," Rufus said as they looked at snow globes and T-shirts. The snow globes were kind of neat, but the T-shirts were just tacky.
Lily smiled at him. "It's an excuse for another trip!"
Rufus chuckled. "True. We don't get to go many places, do we?"
Lily shook her head. "No, we don't. It's not like we don't have the money to travel. Why don't we?"
Rufus shrugged. "Heck if I know. I think we should plan to take at least two vacations a year."
Lily nodded her agreement. "Sounds good to me!"
Time flew, and soon it was time for them to board their next flight.
"Here we go again," Lily said, clinging tightly to Rufus as their second plane took off.
"We survived the last one. We'll survive this one," Rufus said. "The taxiing is actually kind of fun."
"I still hate everything about flying other than the short time it takes to get to the destination. And this time it's not even short!" Lily complained.
"It's the quickest we're gonna get there," Rufus reminded her.
Lily sighed, and relaxed against Rufus' shoulder. "I know."
Rufus sighed. They had been traveling for eight hours. They had had dinner on the plane, then were forced to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows parts one and two. Part one had played a few hours ago, and had been directly followed up with part two. He honestly didn't get what the big hype was on the movie. It was just a big bore to him. The worse part was, he had been forced to watch it alone. Lily had opted for reading her books, looking over her magazines, and sleeping. He dosed off here and there, but couldn't sleep too well on a plane, so he kept jerking awake.
Anyway, he was now stuffed on his dinner (a turkey and cheese sandwich with mayonnaise), as well as the peanuts, pretzels, cookies, and Coke the stewardesses had handed out. He had thought about getting some wine, but it was so expensive on the plane. They charged so much, and he didn't want to let the airlines win by giving them that kind of money for a simple glass of wine. He just wanted something to do.
He looked at his watch. It was one o'clock in the morning Eastern time. He had no idea what time it was where they were now. Though, since Hawaii was five hours behind Eastern time, he figured it was around eight the night before. Or around that time anyway. They still had three hours left to go before arriving in Hawaii, so he wasn't for sure.
He tried not to groan out loud at the thought of traveling three more boring hours. Then he remembered something. While Lily had been talking with Damien, he had gone ahead and bought the Penthouse magazine. He figured Lily would come around if he bought it. Sure, Rufus was usually so clean-cut and proper. He had to be for the kids, and for the public eye since he was in the media a lot, being married to Lily. He had to be dignified and classy since Lily was a woman of class an elegance. However, he had a side to himself that only Lily had seen. When they were alone, they both let out their inner rebellious teenager that had never fully left either of them. And, frankly, the thought of him and Lily looking at that magazine together, really turned him on to no end.
He looked around, and when he was sure that no stewardesses were around, and that no one was watching him (most of the passengers were sleeping), he dug into his knapsack, and pulled out the magazine. The cover had a sexy couple on it. The woman was only wearing a black thong without a top on. The guy was in a pair of black, tight, spandex-looking boy shorts, his hands cupping the woman's bare breasts from behind. They were both grinning mischievously at the reader. The guy was blonde, and built like a god. The girl was beautiful, but not as pretty as Lily. Besides, she was a brunette. They looked nothing like Rufus or Lily, so Rufus opened up the magazine to see what else the magazine had to offer.
That's more like it! Rufus thought as he saw a beautiful blonde in a very compromising position with her dark-haired suitor. Rufus felt the guy was better looking than him, and the woman didn't do Lily justice. But the woman was still incredibly beautiful, and it wasn't too much of a stretch to imagine the couple as him and Lily.
He quietly moaned out loud as he imagined doing to Lily was the man in the picture was doing to his woman.
Lily stirred. "What'cha looking at?" she asked, rolling over in her seat so that she was facing him. Her eyes fell down on the page Rufus was looking at, and she sat up straight. "Rufus!" she lowered her voice, so as not to wake anyone, or bring attention to them. "I thought I talked you out of that!"
Rufus shrugged. "When you were busy talking with Damien, I bought it before coming over to get you. I'm sorry, Lil. I just think it's hot."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Out of all the years I've known you, I never realized what a pervert you are."
"Aw, come on, Lil! Don't you think that would be hot if I were to do that to you?" Rufus asked with a pout.
Lily examined the picture again. She blushed a little. "How do they even bend like that?"
Rufus grinned at her, and wriggled his eyebrows up and down. "Practice makes perfect. I think we should try it." He winked at her.
Lily rolled her eyes, and turned to the next page. "This magazine is so stupid. It never has anything people can actually—" Lily cut herself off as her eyes fell upon something.
"What?" Rufus asked, looking down at what she was looking at. He saw that it was the same blonde woman and her dark-haired man, making love on top of a building. The woman was sitting in his lap as they made love. He grinned at Lily. "Do you like that one?"
Lily blushed. "I don't know. I'm just thinking we've never tried it like that before. With me on your lap."
Rufus licked his lips. "We can try it, if you'd like." She had no idea how much he wanted to try that now.
"It seems like it would be kind of thrilling, being that high up," Lily continued. "All the way up on the roof."
"Does it turn you on?" Rufus asked, his hand slowly starting to creep over the crotch of her pants.
Lily sucked in a breath, and slowly let it out. "Rufus, stop that!" she hissed.
Rufus looked around. "Nobody's watching. They're all asleep. The stewardesses aren't even around." He went back to rubbing her over her pants.
"Rufus..." Lily tried to protest, but her heart wasn't in it this time.
Rufus turned the page with his free hand, and pointed to another couple, this time, the guy was putting his mouth to good use on his woman's lower region. "Look at this one," Rufus said, rubbing Lily a little harder. "Would you like me to do that to you?" He was getting so aroused himself, his breaths were quickly becoming short and rugged.
Lily glanced downward, her own breath getting rugged. "I don't know. It looks nice, but if we were going to do that, I'd have to return the favor. It's not nice to receive without giving, you know."
Rufus closed the magazine, and grabbed her hand. "Let's go. Now."
Lily smirked. "Let's go where, Rufus? In case you've forgotten, we're still thousands of feet in the air."
Rufus stuffed the magazine back in his knapsack. "To the bathroom. I have to have you now before I explode."
Lily was hesitant. "I don't know. What if someone hears us?"
"Everyone's too busy sleeping. Please, Lil? You have no idea how much I need this right now." Rufus gave her his best puppy dog eyes.
Lily sighed. "We won't have room to do what's in the magazine, you know. Since you didn't opt to pay for first class, we're stuck with a tiny little bathroom."
"First class raised their prices. This trip was expensive as is," Rufus defended.
Lily rolled her eyes, and shook her head.
Rufus took her hands in his. "We'll make do. I promise!" He nuzzled her neck with his nose. "I need you, Lil. Please?"
Lily looked at him, then sighed. She could never say no to him. Besides, he had gotten her too hot to say no. She grinned. "I suppose joining the 'mile high club,' as they call it, would be kind of fun. Let's do it!"
Rufus grinned too, then quickly led her by the hand to the back where the bathrooms were. At least the plane ride was starting to get fun. He grinned at the thought.
They got to the bathroom, and saw that it was occupied. They tried the other one, but it was out of order. Their only option was the occupied bathroom. They waited outside the door.
"Let's just go back to our seats. We'll have plenty of time on our honeymoon for trying out the magazine," Lily said, gently squeezing her husband's hand.
"Surely the lady won't be in there that long," Rufus stated.
Then they heard it. The loud, undeniable sound of someone passing gas. Then they heard the sound again...and again. Then they smelled the wretched smell. It was bad.
"My eyes are watering!" Lily whispered.
Rufus covered his nose and mouth. It was so bad, his stomach was starting to churn.
"We are not making love in there," Lily whispered.
Rufus sighed in defeat. His shoulders slumped. "Let's just go back to our seats."
Lily nodded, and they walked hand-in-hand back to their seats.
"I'm sorry, My Love," Lily said, resting her head against Rufus' shoulder once they were seated again.
Rufus held her tight, and wrapped the travel blanket they had been given around them. "It's okay. Like you said, we'll have plenty of time on our honeymoon for that."
Lily closed her eyes, and Rufus did too. The bathroom incident had calmed down his arousal. Besides, he was suddenly feeling tired. He guessed he'd need his rest anyway for the honeymoon, and it was better to get it now than later.
He drifted off to sleep, dreaming of all the different positions he and Lily could try out. He had a feeling Penthouse magazine was going to quickly become his favorite magazine.
