I moved my hand grabbing his hardness as he groaned in his sleep. I gave a smug smile knowing that I made him lose his mind just as much as he makes me lose mine. I crawled towards him where I was directly in between his legs licking my lips as I thought about how he would taste in my mouth. So instinctively I held him as I licked the head of his hardness as he groaned louder. My mouth sliding further down as I took his shaft into my mouth sucking harder his hips lifted slamming him further into my mouth as I licked and sucked him the best I could. I heard him moan his hands wrapping around my hair I peeked up at him as he smiled at me, “Good morning love.”
I continued my exploring hesitating at certain times not sure if I was doing it right Matt must have caught on because he helped me by guiding me with his hands well encouraging me with his words, “Yes love damn that feels good,” he tensed as I slid my hand around his balls grasping them as I sucked his head, “Damn fuck keep doing that baby just like that,” it didn’t take him long to tense up as he was getting ready to cum, “Baby you should stop it could be messy.” I ignored his warning as I sucked him further into my mouth making him squirt down my throat as I rose up licking him clean. He pulled me towards him kissing me hotly.
“That was fucking amazing love and I will be paying you back tonight,” he glanced at his watch, “but we have to get going or we will be late but let me help you in the shower.”
He helped me three times making us late to see the owl trainer.
We were 30 minutes late well an amused Anna and Luke stood waiting for us but the trainer well he was pissed. So pissed that I had to offer him a bonus check just to stop talking about how late we were. Anna and I were so happy to be training an owl just like Harry Potter.
The trainer waved his hand towards four cages of owls giving us a lesson on them, “Owls are not particularly smart but these owls are smarter than most they are called barn owls and they usually can be trained in a week or less well other owls can take up to four months or more.”
He gave us long rubber glove to put on as one by one we held out our hands as the owls flew to us perching on our arms. He taught us how to call the owls to us and what it meant for an owl to peck you. He also taught us how to tell the owl to deliver a note to someone. We spent hours laughing and training the owls until we got tired of it wanting to eat.
We decided to have a picnic style lunch. Anna and I grabbed a blanket and all the utensils as the boys grabbed the food from a nearby café and some champagne to sip on. We laid the blanket down as we got comfortable put my head on Matt’s shoulder as my phone started ringing it was El.
“Hey El, how have you been girl?”
She laughed, “Well chicka you sound like you had really hot sex or you met Chris Hemsworth.”
“No Elaina. To both,” we talked for about five minutes as she mentioned her Valentine’s Day it told her we will be home in a week after Australia that gave me about 4 weeks to come up with my decision she didn’t say it but I knew she was freaking out like me at the short amount of time.
Anna bent to get a grape, “How is Elaina?” I gave her a short laugh, “I guess Cole keeps bugging her she says its nothing but he did visit her during Valentine’s Day so who knows.”
Anna squealed in delight at the prospect well Matt made a noise, “It would be good for him to settle down I have known him for a long time and he has some demons some that should be buried and I think Elaina would be good for him.”
I gave a nod, “Yea but it’s difficult you see Elaina has her own problems some heavy stuff I feel like those two would be great together but they could also be volatile with each other.”
We all sat there soaking it in when my mother called. I gave my phone a disgusted look as I answered it, “Hello,” my mom cleared her throat, “Penelope dear how have you been?”
I gave a phone a look making sure it was my mother-it was, “I am fine mother may I ask why you are calling?”
“Well you don’t have to be snide girl I was just checking to see if you were okay still alive,” I took a breath, “Yes I am fine now tell me what exactly you want?”
“Well since your being a brat I will just get on with it your dad and I will be traveling to France we will be there for 6 months so you will have the house to yourself,” she didn’t even say bye before she hung up disconnecting me from her life once again.
Matt moved his hands over me in a way to comfort me from my mother and her cold words, “Come on love let’s take a walk,” he led me down a trail towards one of the beaches, “Was that the evil witch of the West?”
I gave him a small laugh, “Yup called to tell me they are going to France for six months without me…nothing new.”
It got quiet as Matt tried to figure out what to say to me, “My dad hasn’t talked to me in months,” he blurted out making me jerk in surprise.
I gave him a look, “Well why not?” he glanced at the water dragging me closer to the waves, “Well I got in a lot of trouble after the whole thing with Isabella I got into gambling got addicted got into trouble with a man Gio who I owed a lot of money to the problem was I didn’t have any money to give so they took to making hell on my family and the bar we own. Until my dad paid him off after that my dad never talked to me again,” he gave me a sad look.
“My mom hates me because I ruined her career see my dad was directing a movie in France where he met my mother she was 25 beautiful and a model. They had a week long affair my mother ended up becoming pregnant she had to contact my dad tell him what was going on. They were forced to marry so they didn’t look like a one night stand story and mom had to leave France and modeling,” I gave a sad sigh, “She lost her career and for what a fat daughter. It’s a bittersweet ending for her.”
Matt grabbed me kissing my lips softly, “She is wrong and you love are not fat your ravishing,” he bit my lower lip as he growled into my mouth, “And right now I need to take you back to the hotel so I can ravish you with my mouth.”
I gasped as I grabbed a hold of him as we ran back to the hotel where he proceeded to show me exactly how many times I could unravel with his tongue.
We woke up late the next morning but we heard people cheering and laughing as they drank celebrating the day. I got out of bed grabbing my leprechaun costume that I bought with Anna it consisted of a green dress, stockings, green glittery heels, and leprechaun ears. I looked like a slutty elf character it was laughable and absolutely perfect. I jumped in the shower making sure to lock the door so Matt couldn’t come in to peek at me.
I head the door knob turning then a knock, then a bang, and then yelling, “Love why the fucking door is locked?”
I gave a laugh, “Because I need to get ready without being mauled by you every 30 seconds your incorrigible do you know that?” he rattled the door more, “I swear Penelope I will break the God damn door down if you do not open it.”
“No Matt I am getting ready it is a surprise so go pee outside,” he got quiet as he murmured expletives. Jesus, that man.
An hour later I was ready, I gave a peek out the door noticing that Matt was nowhere in sight. I did a ninja spin sliding out of the door as quietly as possible making my way to the door but right when I was about to throw the door open a husky voice came from behind me, “Where are you going love?”
I gave a startle scream my hand reaching for my heart as Matt gave me a smirk his eyes traveled long my body taking in every inch of me as I rubbed my hand on my chest that he was now eyeing, “You look exceptionally sexy I don’t think I can let you leave this hotel looking like that.”
My eyes widened, “Well why the hell not?” he gave me a dramatic eye roll, “Because one it will be too difficult for me to keep my hands off that delectable ass of yours and second well I will have to fight with every man and woman who will lay eyes on you because you look like a fucking pinup girl.”
I gave him a laugh batting my eyes, “Come on Matty lets go get so drunk that we can’t see straight then we can come back here and feel
our way to each other’s body.”
His shoulder stiffened as he practically ran to me lacing his fingers with mine pulling me out the door to the nearest pub where our friends were waiting. Luke looked pissed off my eyes traveling to see a grinning Anna wearing an identical outfit like mine. She saw me squealing in delight, “Damn Pen, you look sexy. Luke is mad because I ran out of the room looking like this and by the look on Matt’s face I can say he looks pissed off too.”
I gave her a smile, “He sure the hell is but you know what this may be my last Sr. Patrick’s Day so let’s live it up okay girl?”
“Damn right we are and we are starting by drinking a tall glass of green beer let’s go,” we made our way to the bar where men were leering at us making obscene noises and gestures I am not going to lie I kind of enjoyed the looks as they gave me I never felt so sexy before.
“Hello fine ladies or should I say leprechauns,” the bartender gave us a wink as we drooled over his sexy Irish accent, “What can I get you two?”
He gave Anna a once over gliding his eyes to me as he took me in his eyes lingering a little bit too long, “Well can we have two of those green beers and four shots of tequila,” he gave me a wink, “Anything for a fine woman like you.”
I could feel my cheeks warming up as he came back placing our order in front of us, I reached to pull out a bill to give him when he put his hand on mine a spark entering my body but not in a sexual way more comfort than anything other, “No thank you sweets this is on the house.”
“Thank you,” I gave him a bigger smile as we got comfortable talking to him. He was mentioning his father and how he helps him herd sheep I gave a startled laugh as he told us about trying to shave a sheep when he was ten it ending with him being the one shaved, “It was a lesson that I had to learn,” I gave a laugh slipping my hands around his waist as I leaned my head on him, “I like you Jake we are going to be great friends. I think you should come back with us to New York you will love it.”
Before he could answer I was getting pulled out of his arms a fist flying pat me hitting Jake in the face. I gave a startle scream as I reached for Jake who was cursing. I turned angry eyes to Matt he grabbed me pulling me towards him as I tried to get out of his hold. He wouldn’t let go and I was beyond pissed I did the only thing that came to mind I slapped him.
He dropped his hold his eyes turning black in ager as he stalked towards me, “Do you feel better now Penelope?” I gave him a nod no as tears sprang to my eyes as I took in the red mark on his face. I reached my hand to his cheek but he left out of my reach stalking outside. I guess the party is over.
Jake gave me a sympathy look, “I think you should go get him before he does something dumb and maybe when you’re at it you could explain to the fact that I am not interested in you or anyone of these beautiful ladies because I prefer him over you.”
I gave him a short nod giving him a hug, “I am sorry and I still want you to come with us try it out experience new things. I will be back tomorrow hopefully you will be joining us.”
He gave me a smile as I waved towards Anna and Luke making my way to our room trying to calm my nerves over the whole scene that just went down. I am not a violent person but Matt makes me feel things I have never felt before he drives me crazy. I gave the door a push taking in the messed up room my eyes focusing on Matt who was drinking a bother of Jack Daniel’s. He saw me giving me a slimy smile.
‘Hey love you done being whore? You come back to beg and apologize,” I took a deep breath reminding myself that he was just hurt but before I could say anything in response he jumped up grabbing me and throwing me to the bed his hands sliding up my leg, “Do I not make you feel enough? Do you not like what I do? Because your body screams for me and trembles but yet I can’t tell what the fuck your heart wants. You hide secret from me but I don’t ask because I figure you will tell me soon but then I see you all over an Irish bartender practically sucking his dick and then you slap me like I am trash,” his eyes grew sad, “Maybe that’s it maybe I am too damaged too messy for you. Maybe you need better but I am not sure if I could let you go.”
My heart broke as I watched his face his eyes tearing up I touched his face making him look at me, “I don’t want anyone but you the bartender he is gay baby we were talking about New York and I offered him to come with us to try it out his dream of being an actor. I feel so much for you. I am the one who is broken.’
He gave me a chaste kiss, “I am sorry for overreacting we seem to always assume the worse but let me tell you love. You are not broken you are my salvation you are my light.”
“I know I have things to tell you and I promise once we get back to New York I will tell you everything but Matt you are not damaged you not a mess you are the only one that has me, the only one that sees me, you are my home.”
We kissed each other drowning in the mess that we are.
Ch. 14: Scuba Diving and Zip Lining (Penelope’s POV)
The next morning was utterly, extremely, unenjoyable an elephant was on my head stomping around up there I blame those stupid green beers and probably all those tequila shots that I took. Matt was still asleep by me as traced my finger over his tattoos. Yesterday was intense on both of our parts and quite scary but I think we shouldered past it making us closer. I couldn’t admit to him yet that I was falling in love with him there was too many what if’s and plus he still doesn’t know about my brain tumor. I grabbed my medicine bag zipping it open as I threw all my pills in my mouth drowning them with water.
What would it have been like if I met Matt as a normal girl would we have bonded the way we had or would I have been a different person that he would have looked past? I gave a shudder as my thoughts turned darker. Would Matt miss me when I am gone or will he just move on like I was nothing?
I felt his arms around me his head laying on top of mine, “Hey love are you okay?” I gave him a smile, “Yes I am are you oaky though yesterday was… intense,” I felt him stiffen behind me sighing a guilty sigh, “I know love and I am so fucking sorry I should have never acted like that I was just I don’t know you drive me fucking crazy I never felt like this before and man I feel like a fucking woman.”
I gave his arm a slap, “Excuse me not all women act like you,” I gave him a kiss as we picked up the room packing our clothes. We had to leave in an hour to the airport our next stop is Australia for a week and I was excited hello Chris Hemsworth lived there.
Anna and Luke looked like shit as we waved to them, “Whose dumbass idea was it to travel right after getting plastered?” Luke yelled to us as we all eyed him, “It was your dumbass idea Lucas,” Anna hissed at him as Luke frowned than smiled at us, “Oh yea well than it was bloody genius then.”
I stopped by the pub opening the door to see a smiling Jake waiting for us with his bags. I gave a squeal as I jumped into his arms him holding me tightly, “Thank you for this opportunity I will never be able to repay you.”
I gave him a genuine smile, “Oh Jake you will repay me by being me best and first gay friend. I always wanted one you know?” I gave him a wink as he smacked my ass.
Matt gave a cough as we turned to him, “I would be really jealous right now if I didn’t know any better,” he held his hand out to Jake, “I am sorry for how I acted man and I am glad you are joining us I need more eyes on this one.”
I gave him a slap as Jake took Matt’s hand, “No problem I would have hit me too if I saw a hottie with his arms all around this fine piece of arse,” I gave Jake a slap as the boys nodded in agreement.
“Come on boys and Anna we need to hurry up and get on the plane you know Australia cannot wait,” Matt gave me a suspicious look, “Why are you in a hurry love?”
I gave a noncommittal shrug, “I am not I just want to sit down,” Anna and Jake both gave me a knowing look as I gave Matt a smug look, “Plus I can’t wait to see those fine Australian men and the place that raise the sexiest man alive… Chris Hemsworth.”
Anna and Jake both m
ade sounds of agreement as Matt gave me a leer, “Run love run,” so I did as he chased behind me our friends laughing at us as I tried to escape the man who will always have me.
To say we were in another country would be wrong we were in a whole other world. The cab driver took us to the hotel as we checked into Sydney, Australia well we got ready I got an extra room for Jake as we checked in.
The moment we got in we went straight to dinner as the waiter came to us, “Hello mate’s what can I getcha ya?”
We ordered fish and chips with some beers as the waiter gave Luke a wink as I gave a happy laugh at his expression, “Luke you have an admirer.”
He gave me a finger as I food came, “There you go mates bog in,” we all gave him a look as he laughed at our expressions, “Eat up mates! Eat up.”
We did what we were told as the waiter came back to us grabbing our dishes as a young women made her way to the bar giving our guys a once over winking. She must have been determined because she made her way sauntering to our table, “hello boys tourists I presume,” I gave a laugh her eyes narrowing on me, “Why the hell are you laughing?” I gave her a smile, “I was just thrilled to see your excellent deductive skills.”
The table snickered as she pulled her shoulders straight, “Don’t mess with me I am Natasha Monroe the heiress of this hotel,” I gave her a once over shrugging my shoulder, “That’s nice my name is Penelope Davis heiress of Davis Productions and Johanna Davis’s daughter you know the international model and designer,” her face went pale as I continued, “Anyhow these boys are taken,” Natasha eyed Jake, “Well he isn’t,” she said snidely as Jake gave a wink to our waiter turning to face Natasha, “Sorry hairy I don’t like what you have and if I did I wouldn’t go anywhere near it.”
