“I think you’ll follow your body and find that you have no problem doing what I want.” Richard’s eyes pierced hers and she felt his fingers slip under her skirt and rub up and down her panty-clad clit.
“Stop.” She hissed at him, looking to the front of the car to ensure that the taxi-driver wasn’t looking at them.
“Are you sure?” He smiled at her and slipped a finger inside her panties. She paused and involuntarily widened her legs as he slipped a finger into her. She gasped and closed her eyes as she felt her pu**y moisten as his finger dipped in and out of her. He slowly withdrew his finger and wiped it on her cl*t before putting his finger in his mouth and sucking it. “Yummy,” he grinned at her as he stopped licking his finger. “It sure tastes like you aren’t sure.” He laughed at her wide eyes and leaned over to whisper in her ear. “You’re body doesn’t lie Louise. I can have you whenever I want you.”
She glared at him and closed her legs and turned away from him to stare out of the window. She groaned to herself as she felt her pu**y still throbbing. He was right. Her body wanted him more than any man she had ever been with and she couldn’t stop herself from responding. She knew that if he were to put her on his lap right now, she would find herself f**king him as they drove along the streets of London; with no concern to whether the taxi-driver knew what they were up to or not. She sighed to herself, wondering what sort of woman she had become.
Chapter 12
The hotel was full of understated elegance. Louise was surprised and a little upset that Richard had gotten them two separate rooms. She had assumed that they would be spending their nights together and didn’t know whether she should feel happy or sad that he had gotten her her own space. Sometimes he was an enigma and she really wanted to get to know him better, outside of the bedroom.
She heard a knocking on her door and opened it to find Richard there smiling. “I hope you like the room.” He spoke as he walked in, without waiting for an invitation.
“It’s lovely. Thanks.” She beamed at him. The room was small but quaint. There was a full-sized bed with a down comforter. There was also a fireplace and a Victorian table with paintings of different members of the aristocracy on the walls. “I feel like an English Duchess in my chambers.”
“Well is the Duchess ready to hit the town with her Lord?” Richard bowed at her and she laughed.
“Yes, my Lord.” She curtsied and picked up her bag. “Let’s go and visit the Queen.”
“I’ll just call Charles and let him know we are coming.”
“Tell William and Kate as well, I want to give them a late wedding gift.” She grinned at him and delighted in his sense of humor.
“Hmm, I’m not sure about that. I wouldn’t want William to leave Kate for you and leave me all alone. You know how British men love American women.” Richard wrinkled his nose up at her and she burst out laughing.
“Somehow I think their marriage will survive a meeting with me.”
“Let’s not test it. I don’t want to get beheaded for sleeping with the Prince’s lady.”
“Off with his head.” She laughed.
“Off with her head.” He grabbed her hand and they walked to the elevator.
“You’re not King Henry VIII in disguise are you?” She poked him in the side.
“Not if you’re Anne Boleyn out for revenge.” He raised an eyebrow at her. “Though, I wouldn’t mind having 8 wives.”
“And 20 mistresses.”
“Nah, just one mistress is fine.” His eyes caught hers and they just stared at each other silently for a few seconds, the arrival of the elevator breaking their intense look.
“I thought we would take a bus into the West End.” Richard continued holding her hand as they walked out of the hotel. “Is that okay?”
“What? No taxi?” She pouted at him.
“Oh sorry, I just thought…” Richard stopped as she burst out laughing.
“No silly. A bus is fine. In fact I would love to ride a big read double decker bus.” She squealed at him.
“Oh ok. Great.” He stared at her. “You really are something special Louise.”
She felt a glow of warmness run through her and bit back the comment she wanted to make about Monique. She just didn’t want to ruin the moment. “Thanks my Lord. You’re something pretty special too.”
They got to the bus stop and Louise looked around her in wonder. There were thousands of people milling the streets and each one seemed to have a purpose to their life. They were all walking with determination and Louise thought they all looked friendly and happy; unlike most of the people she saw in New York. It was a nice warm day which surprised her as she had always heard how grey and rainy England was.
“Come on Louise. This is us.” Richard grabbed her arm and they ran up to a number 3 bus. “Two adults please.” Richard dropped some pound coins into a slot and took the printed out ticket and Louise followed him on the stairs to the top of the bus.
“Looks like it is our lucky day.” Richard grinned at her as they walked to the front of the bus and took the two empty seats.
“They must have known royalty was coming my lord.” She smiled at him and looked in wonder out of the big windows. “Wow, I never knew how many stores and people they had here.”
“Yeah. It’s a wonderful city.” Richard looked wistful as he stared out of the window.
Louise wanted to ask him what was wrong but scared he would rebuff her. “Do you really like London then?” She asked him casually.
“My parents are from England. I grew up here for the first 11 years of my life.”
“Oh.” She looked at him curiously. She had never heard Ben talk about living in London. “Ben never told me that you guys were English.”
“Oh, Ben never lived here.” Richard looked at her carefully. “Ben and David are my cousins, not my real brothers.”
“Oh.” She wanted to ask for more information but didn’t want to appear too nosey.
“My father and his father were brothers. His dad immigrated to the States after going to College a Columbia University. He met Ben’s mom and stayed in the States.” Richard paused. “My dad went to Cambridge and met my mom. He was a doctor. She was a society girl. They died in a car crash after he caught her in bed with his partner.”
“I’m soo sorry Richard.” She looked at him in shock and tenderly grabbed his hand.
