| As they entered the house, Tasha was surprised to see the sheer number of people milling around the house. He introduced her to people left and right, but she realized that there was no way she would ever remember all their names. Jocelyn was in the kitchen with several other women whom but she beckoned Tasha in and introduced her to them all. Tash felt like a bewildered child but she managed to smile and greet them all. The group was comprised of the wives and girlfriends of Russ's cousins. Tash heard Russ in the living room shouting instructions to his footy team, so she decided to stick close to his mum. |
| She helped his mum get the table set up. Russ had brought some shrimp and steak with them, and he had fired up the grill to cook it. The men had the TV turned up loudly so that he could hear the happenings of the game. Every once in a while he would step back into the house to exclaim over a play. Finally it was all ready and dinner was announced. The family streamed into the kitchen to form a line around the food. When Russ sidled up to Tasha and wrapped her into a passionate kiss the entire family laughed and yelled for them to go do their business in private, which made Tasha blush bright red. Russ merely giggled. "No worries, love. They are secretly loving it!" He grinned. Sure enough, before the evening was over many of the family came up to her to offer congratulations and express their happiness. The men ribbed Russell and exchanged knowing winks while the women did the same thing to Tasha. She was embarrased, but relieved that his family seemed to like her so much. When they were on the way home, he could barely keep his hands off of her which suited her just fine. She thought that dirt road would never end, and when it finally did they jumped out of the SUV to meet each other halfway around the vehicle. Sweeping her off her feet and carrying her into the house, his mouth met every exposed bit of skin he could find. Their clothes were in a trail across the floor before they reached the bedroom. He lay her down on the bed and made her body sing like a finely tuned instrument. All he wanted at this moment was to feel her lithe body beneath him. Her passion burned as brightly as his and as she writhed beneath him the tremors overcame her. She moaned, in a state of pure rapture, as she felt his seed enter her body. He filled her with his nectar as trickles of sweat escaped his body to run in small rivulets onto hers. Afterward, they curled up togather knowing that they had one more full day alone in their Eden before they had to board a plane to L.A. Russ's new movie was premiering and he wanted her with him when he arrived for the press junkets. Not to mention the fact that the planning for their wedding was in full steam right now, with the invitations having gone out this week. The conversations they had and the plans concocted came back to her as she lay within the circle of his arms. Slightly more than 5 months remained, and Tasha was in full wedding mode. She had been in contact with her family, who were anxious to meet the upcoming addition to the family. They had known she was involved with Russell, but the engagement seemed to have caused a good deal of buzz in her family. Her sister Emily, whom she hadnt spoken with but a few times in 2 years, had been chosen as Maid of Honor. She broke with tradition to choose her friend Kristen as Matron of Honor, as she had wanted Kristen in the wedding in some form. It was unusual to have both a Maid and Matron of Honor, but she was steadfast in her decision. Kristen was delighted, especially when she found out that she, Jake and Luke were being flown to Italy for the ceremony. In fact, everyone involved was being flown in and Tasha joked with Russ that this wedding was going to break his bank account. He promised her that it would not and that he wanted her to be happy. "I'd be happy to wed you in a stable, studmuffin." She had said to him. The smile that graced his face had taken her breath away. The devilish grin followed. "Well, love, I dont want to marry in a stable, but I can think of a few other things I'd like to do." He winked. They had both gotten a lusty laugh out of that thought. Her thoughts turned to the wedding again. The decorations were being prepared, the menu for the food had been selected and the guest list was set. Quite a few famous people had been included, and Tash was apprehensive about such a high profile affair. She only hoped it turned out well and that the press would leave them alone. She sighed and curled up closer to him. Only one day left in the little cabin and she would have to face the press in an inescapable way. She wondered how intrusive thier questions would be and how many flashes she would be able to endure. It was something she was going to have to get use to since she was marrying an A list actor. With Oscars under his belt and a promising future as a director, Russell was heavily sought after by the biggest and brightest in Hollywood. He tended to go his own way, never one to do a big budget film just for the monetary aspects. However the fact remained that he was one of the highest paid actors in the business and it was well-deserved. He was simply one of the most brilliant men she had ever known. Russ had told Tasha more than once that she kept him balanced and Tasha just hoped she was able to remain the same person in the months and years to come. She gazed at his face, serene in his slumber. Tracing the lines on his face with the tips of her fingers, she thanked her lucky stars for the night that Kristen had begged her to go out for the evening. She still marveled over the twists and turns that life brought to a person. In the hush of the darkened bedroom, she listened to Russell's soft breathing as shadows chased across his face. Just as she lowered her hand, his arm came up and gently grasped it. One eye opened. "Not sleepy this evening, love?" His voice never failed to cause shivers in the deepest recess of her soul, so sensuous was it. She smiled and shook her head. She shifted herself so that she could creep up his body and press herself to him. "I'd be willing to wager you are not nearly as sleepy as you seem to think you are, either." She murmured. He laughed heartily and conceded that she was indeed correct in her assessment. Bringing her hand down to his crotch, she felt him swelling against her hand. She marveled privately to herself at his near constant arousal. Most men would never be able to sustain his sex drive for even a single day. To her delight, he proceeded to show her just how strong his sex drive was. |
