Chapter 87
Roman climbed into bed beside her, she had taken a couple of headache tablets and gone to bed an hour ago. He knew she needed some time so he waited downstairs tidying up and making excuses to delay going to bed. She turned in her sleep and snuggled against him.
"Hey." He whispered. "I love you."
She pressed her lips to the side of his neck.
"Love you too." She told him sleepily.
"How are you doing?" he asked.
"Not too well. I love Nic and I am really happy for her but I'm just so sad." She told him honestly.
"Thank you." He said.
He put his arms around her.
"I'm sad too." He told her.
She opened her eyes and looked into his.
"It will get better." She said. "Just too much at the moment."
He grinned at her trying to make it better for him too.
"Well if you keep talking to me and holding on to me we'll get through it." he murmured. "Because I need you too." He added.
She smiled slowly.
"Hold me." She asked.
"Of course."
She curled up in his arms and they fell asleep.
Mike heard the murmured voices and sighed. He plugged his headphones back in and listened to his music. He hated knowing his Mum was so sad. He drifted off to sleep. He woke up at 6am and got dressed quick and went down the stairs. He took his bike out of storage and went for a ride to Aden and Belle's.
"This had better be good." Aden grumbled as he opened the door. "Mike?" he asked.
"Hi bro, I was stuck and I needed some help."
"Come in and be quiet I don't want to wake Amy-Belle." Aden smiled and led him through to the kitchen.
He poured out a cup of coffee for himself and another one for Mike.
"Spill it." Aden said sitting down at the breakfast bar.
Mike grinned.
"Nic is pregnant." He told him and saw Aden grin.
"Didn't take them long." He murmured with a smirk.
"Well Mum is really happy for her but they are also a bit sad. I'm trying to think of something to do to cheer them up."
Aden nodded.
"Did you have anything in mind?" he asked him.
Mike shook his head.
"All I can think of is a night in the Sands or something but Mum is back doing her photography so she's spending time in hotels." He said in a long rambling sentence.
"Well how about a nice meal out?" Aden suggested.
"That was my next idea. But well your dad is a chef and Mum would prefer pizza to …"
"Just about anything." Aden supplied.
Mike grinned and nodded.
"So I was thinking how about a beach party?"
Aden looked at him.
"It could work. I presume you were thinking about having it tonight?" Aden grinned.
Mike nodded.
"Nothing special just everyone bring some food and some drink and we do a bonfire. And have some tunes. Mum and I used to have them all the time we were in California."
Aden nodded.
"And what would you like me to do?" Aden grinned.
"Tell everyone?" Mike suggested.
Aden nodded.
"No problem. What else? " he asked.
Mike shrugged.
"I don't know. I was thinking that I would give Miles a ring and get him to help."
Aden looked at him.
"How about we nip to the Diner and speak to Irene? We can give Miles a call to come and meet us there. He'll be up for the free coffee."
Mike grinned.
"Ok." he agreed.
They walked along the beach to the diner.
"Hey Darl" Irene called. "You're here early?"
Mike grinned at her.
"Yes we want to talk to you." He told her.
She nodded.
"So you want a coffee?" she asked.
Both Mike and Aden nodded.
She went back to the coffee machine and poured out three coffees handing theirs over and coming and sitting with them.
Mike outlined the plan, skipping the reason his mum was feeling a bit sad.
Irene nodded
"No problem Darl we can do the food." She told them.
Miles walked in and over to them.
"What was so important that you got me out of bed?" he grumbled.
Irene went and got him a coffee. By the time she returned Mike and Aden had filled Miles in on the plan.
He thanked Irene for the coffee.
"So what? You want me to get the drinks?" Miles asked them.
"That would be good." Mike said.
"What about lights and tunes Mike?"
"We've got some strings of lights we can use back at the Caravan Park." Miles told them.
Aden nodded.
"How about loads of Candles and some torches. We can get some from that palace in Yabbie Creek." He told them
"I have to go there this afternoon anyway." Miles said draining his coffee. "I can pick some up."
Mike grinned.
"Thanks." He said to them all.
Ella rolled over in bed and saw that Roman was watching her.
"Hey." She said.
"Morning." He told her and leaned forward to kiss her.
"Very nice." She told him.
He pushed her hair gently away from her face.
"Why don't we do something today?" he asked her.
She grinned.
"I want to spend a bit of time with Mike to be honest." She smiled at him. "But thank you."
"No reason we can't do that." He kissed her again.
His hand stroked her face.
"Are you starting something Mister?" she asked him with a grin.
He looked into her eyes.
"Depends." He replied.
"On what?" she giggled against his lips as he kissed her again.
"On whether you would like me to do something with this." He murmured and took hold of her hand and pressed it against him. Her fingers felt cool against his hot flesh and he moaned softly.
She wrapped her hand around him and he showed her how to caress him.
"That feels incredible." He whispered in her ear. "But I want to be inside you because I want to please you too."
She pressed her lips to his and kissed him slow.
"I love you." He told her.
She grinned.
"Touch me." She told him. "Slow." She whispered.
His hands found her breasts and he teased her nipples into sensual arousal, loving the way she enjoyed and responded to his touch. He pressed kisses down her body, teasing her with his tongue. She moved with a sensual rhythm. He looked up at her face and saw the passion in her eyes.
"Now?" he asked.
She smiled.
"Yes." She told him simply.
He moved and reached to the bedside cabinet to get protection. He heard her sigh and looked at her.
"Hey." He whispered.
She shook her head.
"Ella." He said kissing her.
"I'm sorry. " she told him.
He smiled sadly.
"Its ok." he told her, rolling away and standing up.
He reached out and pulled her with him taking her into the bathroom with him. He switched on the shower and climbed under the hot spray. He pulled her hand until she gave in and joined him. He kissed her with the water pouring down over them. She turned and picked up her sponge and his shower gel.
He reached around and took it from her hand, using it to soap her all over. His fingers played with her newly aroused nipples and he heard her moan as he kissed her lips. She grinned and took the sponge refreshing the gel and using it on him. He moaned when he felt her hands caress and stroke him.
"Yes?" he asked.
She nodded.
He turned off the shower and wrapped her in towel. Hooking another one around his waist he took them back through to the bedroom. She dropped the towel as he closed the door. She stepped toward him and kissed him hard on the lips.
He grinned at her.
"Nice." He told her.
She kissed him again and let her hands wander over his torso. She pulled at his towel and it fell to the floor. Grinning at him she stepped backwards and away from him. He watched her walk to the bed. Loving the way she moved. He took the required amount of steps following her and she reached into the bedside cabinet and handed him the necessary protection.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him towards her for another earth shattering kiss. He sheathed himself and lifted her to plunge deep into her in one thrust. They fell onto the bed in a tangle of limbs.
"I love you Ella." He gasped against her lips kissing her again and again.
