Chapter 96

Pearl woke up to Rhys sitting on the bed, watching her sleep.

"I need to tell you a few things and then I'm going to let you decide what happens after." Rhys began, "I'm not perfect. I told you that in the beginning. I'm not proud of my past. But if you can learn to love me in spite of it, I swear to you, I'll spend the rest of my life making sure you never doubt that it is exactly that, the past. Since the moment I met you, no other women existed. I don't even see women anymore. It's only you. I am giving myself to you, all of myself, if you'll have me after all this."

She reached out and put her hand on his.

"I have one condition." She said

"Ok. Anything."

"You keep loving me like you have." She smiled. "And keep being you, the charitable, caring man I love."

"That's it? Consider it done." He said and kissed her cheek.

She asked him what time it was and how things went after she fell asleep. Rhys told her that it was 11 pm and Dylan and Ian had it out in the guesthouse, that Ian was going to fly to LA to meet Carys after this weekend's work on the album. "He's going to find out more information on what she's planning and what she has on me. And in the meantime, Dylan told him to tell her you and I were having some problems because of the pictures, to buy some time."

"Good idea." Pearl said.

"Are you hungry? Rhys asked. Pearl shook her head. Her appetite was gone.

"I'm think I'm going to take a bath" she said.

She got up and went into the bathroom, ran the water and lit candles to relax her. She settled into the hot water and exhaled. She had to let all this go. Rhys trusted her when she needed him to the most and she would do the same, it was just going to take some time. She needed to cry like she had. She needed the breakdown. It was cleansing. She heard the door open and Rhys walked in, standing in front of her. He took off his shirt, then his pants. He walked to the tub and got in behind her. Taking the loofah from her hand, he dipped it in the tub and poured hot water over her hair. He then took some shampoo and started washing her hair and massaging her head. It was caring and gentle and symbolic. He was, in a way, cleansing her of all of this. "I lied to you. When I said you couldn't be owned. When I said you couldn't be mine. You are mine. And I'm going to take such good care of you, you're never going to want to let me go. Moving forward, you never have to worry about anything. You don't have to be so strong. I'm here, and I'm going to help you carry that heavy heart around. I'm going to make sure the rest of your life is full of love and happiness."

"You don't have to do anything, prove anything. Just love me. I am already happy." She said and turned and faced him. "I'm never going to leave you, no matter what, I'm staying, for the rest of my life." His eyes lit up and she could see relief wash over him. He kissed her like he was starving and her kiss was flesh to eat. Leaning her back onto the wall of the tub, he kissed her neck and shoulders, covering as much of her skin with his mouth as he could. "You're mine. You're mine now. There are no more walls between us", he said as he lifted her up. She could feel him hard against her, nudging to enter her. She wanted it. She didn't care about the other women. She didn't care about any of it. She wanted him to take her and fill her, she wanted them to be one. She wanted to be the last woman he took as his. She looked in his eyes and moved her hips, sliding herself onto his shaft. He moaned and thrust himself into her. She wrapped her arms around him. He increased his pace and her climax came, feeling herself tighten around him. He cried out when he felt her orgasm's intensity and emptied himself deep into her. He thrusted harder and harder as he filled her body with his cum, not wanting to stop. She kissed him and told him she loved him. "I love you, my Pearl with the pretty eyes."

They got out of the tub and moved to the bed, still naked and dripping wet. His hands moved all over her body, memorizing every curve. He moved in between her legs and pushed two fingers inside of her. "I can feel me, still dripping out of you." He said and he inserted a third finger. She moaned and she could see his eyes, wild with desire. He opened her wider and soon he had five fingers inside of her. She had never felt anything like this. She was so turned on she thought she might faint. He moved his hand to open her wider and soon his entire hand was inside of her. She didn't know she could stretch that wide, and it felt amazing, only a little uncomfortable. She reached for his cock and started moving her hand up and down, as he moved his hand in and out of her. She had never seen him so turned on as he watched what he was doing to her. "Jesus, Jesus I've never seen anything so hot." She opened her legs further for him, welcoming whatever he wanted to do to her. "I'm yours. I want you to do whatever you want to me. My body is yours. Fuck me however you want. Make me yours." She said, opening even further for him. He continued moving his hand in and out of her, his breathing erratic. She couldn't believe how good it felt. He pulled his hand out of her and turned her over. She was dripping wet after what he was doing to her. He put his finger into her back side and his hand back inside of her front. She came almost instantly. He mounted her and inserted his cock into her ass, still hand fucking her pussy. He cried out "I've never done anything like this before. It's so hot. My god it's so hot." He said, fucking her hard with his hand and his dick. She could only moan. She had never been violated like this before and she was loving every second of what it was doing to him. He looked insane. He was making her completely his now. He took his hand out from inside of her and continued pounding into her ass. "I'm not giving you this where I'm at. I'm putting it in your pussy. I want you to have my baby." He pulled out of her and thrust immediately into her vagina, emptying his orgasm into her. His release was immense as he collapsed onto her back, panting. "No one has ever done anything like that to me before. That was incredible"'she said, running her hand along his back. He was still catching his breath. "I've never experienced anything like that. It was primal. It was beyond sex. Every time is unbelievable with you. You....You're every woman that I've ever known and you're every woman that I'll never know. You're my world."

She smiled as she watched him fall fast asleep. She was wide awake after her nap earlier. And she suddenly felt hungry. She put on a robe and went to the kitchen. Grabbing some grapes and a bottle of water, she sat at the island and looked out of the slider, toward the guesthouse. She saw Ian outside, smoking and talking on his phone. She opened the slider and walked toward him.
