Lily's Dream (Unexpected Lover Series) (6 page)

“I should have realized that, Lily.
There are shops all along the beach so we can get you a swim suit, hat and
beach towel.

There were many shops carrying beach
essentials and non-essentials. They looked through the swim suit display and
Andre immediately picked out a red bikini with tie straps and a red hat to
match. “Try this on,” he said. She came out of the dressing room wearing her
shorts and silk shirt. “I have on the bathing suit,” she told him and gave him
the tag she had taken off the suit. With beach towel and sun tanning lotion,
they headed for the beach.

Andre chose a part of the beach that
wasn’t crowded so they had this strip of sand and water to themselves. Lily lay
on her beach towel and Andre admired her beautiful body. He enjoyed rubbing
lotion on her exposed skin while she was admiring his beautifully muscled body,
as well. She rubbed lotion on him until he got up, grabbed her hand and said,
“Let’s lit the water.”

As they were running toward the water,
Lily said, “Andre, you know I can’t swim, right?”

Andre stopped immediately and turned to
her, “Lily, you forgot to mention that rather important fact.”

He led her into the surf until she was
waist deep in the water. “Stay here and don’t move. I’m going to swim out into
deep water but I’ll be right back. Don’t move.”  He was a strong swimmer and
she watched him with envy. He returned and they played around in the water. She
ducked him but he refrained from doing the same to her. Suddenly she stopped
and said, “Andre, my top came off and is floating away.” He was standing in
front of her and his eyes dropped down to her bare breasts. “You have such
beautiful breasts, Lily,” he said as his hands reached out to caress them. His
eyes were riveted on her breasts as he cupped each breast with a hand and
rubbed her nipple.

They were shocked to hear a shout from
shore, “Hey, buddy, sorry to interrupt but her top is floating out to sea.”

Surprised they both looked to see that
indeed her top had floated quite a distance away. “I’ll swim out and get it.
You stay right here and don’t move.” With that comment, Andre swam out and
quickly grabbed her top and returned. He placed the top on her breasts and she
turned around for him to finish attaching it. He said, “How does this work?”
She replied, “Just tie the strings in a bow.” “No knot?” he asked. She shook
her head and replied, “No. That would be tacky.” “Well, tacky or not, you’re
getting a nice strong knot now and in the future,” he replied emphatically.

Lily enjoyed the feel of the sand
between her toes and they walked up the beach along the water line. She
splashed in the shallow water and waded out until the water reached her waist.
“I wish I could swim. Will you teach me?” “Of course,” he replied. “You should
have learned long ago. The best place to learn would be the pool at the
apartment building.”

“Let’s get some more sun,” suggested
Lily and lay down on her beach towel. “Only for a short time. You’ll get
sunburn,” replied Andre.

A short time later, Andre got up, pulled
Lily up and stated they needed to go before she got sunburn.

On the way home, Lily asked Andre, “Why
are you so grouchy?”

He replied, “Because I got so aroused
just looking at your breasts and wanted so damn bad to kiss them. To make it
more embarrassing we were in a public place. I should have more control than
that.”

Lily tried to hide her smile as she
replied, “If I’d known you wanted to see my breasts, I would have showed them
to you before now. If guys ask to see my breasts, I just show them.”

Andre’s head whipped around as he looked
at her in astonishment and saw her big grin. “You damn well better not!”

“I promise,” replied Lily. ”I was just
kidding you, anyway.”

“Let’s shower and go out to dinner,”
suggested Andre. Lily readily agreed to this suggestion.

Andre had been in his apartment for a
short time when the telephone rang. A very annoyed Lily asked, “Will you please
come down here immediately.” “Is something wrong?” he asked. “Yes.”

Andre hurried down to her apartment to
find her standing in her door still in her bikini. He looked her up and down
and said, “What’s the problem?”

“How am I supposed to get this top off
with all those knots you put in it,” she replied.

He started laughing and said, “You’ve
got a problem, a knotty problem. Turn around.”

She complied and he had trouble getting
the knots untied but finally she could get the top off. She took it off and
stood there with bare breasts. “Gotta go shower,” he said and hurriedly left.

When they met for dinner, Andre raised
his eyebrows at her hair. She had shampooed and dried it and just combed it
straight back where it hung down her back. “I totally forgot about your hair
which got wet with salt water. I’m sorry,” he apologized.

He told her he had made reservations at
a trendy new restaurant by the name of
The Hut
. The building was built
of logs with a thatch roof. The bar was made of rough planks and the tables
were of the same wood. There was a small dance floor with a small band on a
raised platform. Steaks and fish were cooked on an open fire and the smell was
mouth watering. “I can’t wait for a steak cooked on that open fire. What about
you?” he asked Lily. “Okay, I’ll go along with you tonight.”

Once their meal was ordered and they
were drinking
Hut Punch
which tasted like rum punch, Andre noticed many
of the men present checking Lily out. She was dressed casually with pink pants,
heels and dark pink sleeveless top. With her long blond hair hanging down her
back and large hoop earrings, she looked hot. He knew she was totally unaware
of how great she looked. Her self esteem had been damaged at some time in her
past. He was pleased that he could see her gradually gaining self confidence.
After all, she had suddenly been thrown into the midst of the elite of Miami
society and handled herself extremely well.

Lily pointed out Jacqueline and a man
sitting at a table in the far corner. “That’s the first time I’ve ever seen Jacqueline
with a date,” commented Lily. “She really puzzles me. She attends many social
functions but always refuses when a man asks her to dance.  And she always
seems to attend alone.” “Maybe she doesn’t like men,” commented Andre. “I don’t
think that’s it. And don’t say I’m too naïve to realize. I’m beginning to
dislike that word applied to me,” replied Lily. Jacqueline apparently did not
see them so they concentrated on their meal and each other. When they were
ready to leave, Jacqueline and her date were still deep in conversation.

On the way home, the atmosphere in the
car seemed strained. Lily thanked him for taking her to the beach and dinner
and he said he, too, enjoyed it. After that, he seemed lost in thought.

Suddenly he reached for her hand and
kissed it. “I really enjoyed our outing today. It only took a few days for me
to realize that you are different from the women I usually meet. You are sweet,
sincere, naïve and have absolutely no idea how very beautiful you are. I am
cynical where women are concerned but you are an exception. Can you forgive me
for making an assumption about you based on past experience?”

Lily had withdrawn her hand and was
looking at him wide eyed and puzzled. “I guess I should be flattered that you
have decided I’m not so bad after all. Obviously you thought I would lust after
your body, making an embarrassing pest of myself because that’s what all the
other women do. You didn’t want to have to fight me off. That’s it, isn’t it?
Isn’t
it?
That was your way of keeping me at a distance. You are right. You are
an ass, a conceited ass.”

Lily was absolutely furious. She knew
she was in love with him but she was fighting it as hard as she could. She
would never have let him know it. Why did he tell her now? She hoped it was
because he wanted her to see him as a possible lover. She hoped he wanted her
as badly as she wanted him. But right now she was so mad she would hit him if
he tried to touch her.
Wouldn’t she?
She looked out the window and
ignored him until they got home. He kept glancing at her but one look at her
face told him not to push right now.

They arrived at their apartment building
and Lily marched rigidly inside with Andre easily keeping up. Louis looked
after them with a puzzled look and just shook his head.

All was silent in the elevator. When
they arrived at Lily’s floor, Andre got off with her. At her door, they stood
and looked at each. Finally Andre said, “I thought I was giving you a
compliment but it obviously backfired. Just forget I said anything.” He grabbed
her and kissed her with the building passion he was feeling for her. She kissed
him back, and then pushed him away. “You keep forgetting this brother sister
relationship.” With a smile, she went into her apartment.

On the way up to his apartment, Andre
keep thinking that he was always cool, calm and collected. So what the hell had
just happened? He wondered if she was still mad at him. As he entered his
apartment, his cell phone indicated a text message had just come in. He took
his phone out of his pocket and saw it was from Lily
. Just because it worked
once doesn’t mean it will work next time I get mad
. He laughed. One of the
things he loved about Lily was her sense of humor. Whoa……
love?

When Molly arrived at Lilly’s apartment
the next day, Lily was sitting on her couch sewing beads on a dress. ‘’We went
to the beach yesterday and it spoiled me. I don’t want to stay in the apartment
all day today. It’s such a beautiful day,” she complained.

Molly replied, “Yes, it is a beautiful
day. I wish you didn’t have to stay in, too.”

Lily thought for a few moments. “My
sister has dominated me for my entire life and I’m tired of it. I won’t let my
fear of her keep me captive indoors. What do you think about walking up to the bank?
I have a deposit to make and it’s only three blocks. In the middle of the day there
will be lots of people out. What could possibly happen?”

Molly looked doubtful. “Andre told you
to stay in your apartment, Lily. He must have a good reason and, anyway, he
would be very angry.”

Lily looked determined and said, “He
doesn’t have to know.”

So the decision was made and they walked
happily down to the bank, looking in the store windows and enjoying the sunny
day. They had started back to the apartment when suddenly a car jumped the curb
and plowed into Lily. Molly screamed and bystanders came over to see if they
could help. Someone called 911. Lily was lying still with blood all over her
face and dress. Molly tried to get her to talk but she was knocked out
completely. People in the crowd were discussing the car that hit Lily then immediately
pulled back into the traffic and left the scene. The Police and an ambulance
arrived at the same time and Lily was placed in the ambulance. Molly wanted to
ride along with Lily but was told that was not possible but that Lily would be
taken to Miami General Hospital.

Molly realized she did not have a
telephone and no way to let Andre know so she started running down the street
to his salon. She wondered if she could make it. She stopped to rest several
times and finally saw the mall ahead. She took the elevator up to the second
floor and finally she was at Andre’s salon. She burst into the salon gasping
for breath and dropped into the first chair available. Someone gave her a glass
of water which she gratefully drank. She saw Andre who immediately stopped what
he was doing when he noticed her. He hurried over to her and asked, “Molly,
what is wrong? Has something happened to Lily?” 

 Everyone had stopped working and was waiting
to hear what Molly said. Molly gasped, “Yes….yes….she was hit by a car…..and
taken to the hospital.” Andre paled visibly and asked, “How badly was she
hurt?” Molly managed to reply, “Don’t know. She was unconscious. Miami General
Hospital is where they took her.”

Andre ran for his car with Molly close behind.
She barely got in the passenger side as Andre drove off. “Where were you two
going?” he asked. “Lily had a check to deposit so we decided she’d be safe in the
middle of a crowded sidewalk,” Molly explained. “We had made the deposit and
were returning to the apartment when suddenly a car jumped the curb and ran
right into Lily. She was all covered with blood. I tried to talk her out of
leaving the apartment but…..” Molly started crying.

“Were the police there?” asked Andre.
“They arrived when the ambulance arrived. As soon as they took Lily, I started
running to your salon,” explained Molly.

Andre pulled into the Emergency Entrance
of the hospital. “Park the car, Molly,” he asked and hurried into the hospital.
 

“Where’s Lily Gardner? She was just brought
in,” he asked the attendant. “You can’t see her unless you’re a relative,” he
was told. “I’m her husband,” he lied. “I assume you’re the Andre she’s been
asking for. I’ll take you to her cubicle,” the attendant replied. 

Andre entered her area to find the nurse
washing the blood off her face. “Lily,” he exclaimed, “are you okay?” “Andre,
you’re finally here,” said Lily, “my ankle hurts.” He immediately took her hand
and sat next to her while looking her over carefully. “My love, I was scared to
death. How badly are you hurt?”

The nurse responded, “She’s a very lucky
young lady. She hit her head when she fell and that’s where all the blood came
from. The doctor should be in shortly. I’m trying to get her cleaned up. The
nurse left telling them she would be back.

“What’s wrong with your ankle? Is it
broken?” immediately asked Andre.

The doctor came in at this moment and
checked her over. ‘You don’t show signs of a concussion but will need a few
stitches in your scalp and I’ve ordered an x-ray of your leg. I’ll have the
nurse give you something for the pain. I don’t think it’s broken but it’s best
to be sure. There’s no indication of internal injuries. She’s very lucky that
she was not hurt much worse. I’ll be back when we have the results of the
x-ray,” stated the doctor.

“My leg hurts, Andre,” said Lily. “I
know, love. You’ll get something for pain shortly,” he replied.

At that moment the nurse came in and
added the pain medication to her IV. Within moments Lily sighed with relief. “So
I have a husband”, she said and smiled. He laced his fingers with hers on her
free arm and said, “Lily, my heart turned to ice when I knew you had been hurt
and I didn’t know how badly. I want you to know how much I love you. I adore you.
I love you with all my heart.” He leaned over and kissed her gently on the
lips.

Molly appeared at the doorway and said,
“Wow! It looks like I’m interrupting something. I’ll wait outside.”

Lily looked deeply into Andre’s eyes and
said, “I love you, too. I have for a long time, even had to show you my breasts
trying to get a rise out of you.”

“You certainly got one. I just about
swallowed my tongue when your top came off.” Then with a thoughtful look he asked,
“Do you mean you rigged those ties to come undone?” “I didn’t tie them very
tight and hoped they’d come undone,” she replied with a grin.” He smiled and
said, “It worked very well. I enjoyed it very much.”

Lily was taken to x-ray and Molly came
in to wait with Andre. “I assume she is not seriously hurt? There was so much
blood and she was unconscious. I was so scared. That jackass in the car didn’t
even stop. It just hit her and sent her flying across the sidewalk and into the
building.”

Lily was wheeled back into the cubicle.
A short time later, the doctor returned with the information that her ankle was
not broken. The car hit her on the left side and caused her to twist her right
ankle as she was thrown across the sidewalk. She has a bad sprain around the right
ankle area and will not be able to walk for at least a week. He wrapped the
leg, sewed the three stitches in her scalp. She would have to remain for a few
hours to be under supervision in case she has a concussion. “When you go home,
you won’t be able to stay by yourself. Is there someone who can help you?” he
asked.

Molly had followed the doctor back in
and said Lily could stay with her. “No way. She is staying with me,” declared
Andre. “Thank you, Molly, for the offer. Come up and visit with her. She won’t
like staying off her foot for a week or so. Would you take the car home and
I’ll bring Lily when she’s released?”

“Of course,” she responded, kissed Lily
and left.

After a few hours, she was told she
could leave. “Let’s get you home,” Andre said and began to lift her up when he
realized she wore a hospital gown. “What is this thing you’re wearing? Can you
put on your clothes?”

“No, they’re all bloody and torn. I had
on a sundress and it wasn’t any protection at all. I’m covered in scrapes and
bruises and look a mess. My hair is all bloody. Tears were beginning to appear
so Andre took over with, “You look beautiful to me and I’ll take good care of
you. Let’s get you checked out and home. I’ll just wrap you up in this hospital
sheet.”

Andre tucked the sheet around her taking
extra care with her ankle and told the nurse he would pay extra for the sheet.
He picked her up and was told she was required to go out in a wheelchair. He
had called for a car and he gently picked Lily up from the wheelchair and put
her in. A stop to fill her pain medication prescription and they finally arrived
at their apartment building.

Andre carried Lily past an astonished
Louis and up to his apartment. While holding her, he kissed her gently and told
her he loved her and walked into his bedroom. Gently placing her in his bed, he
removed the hospital sheet and looked at her, saying “you’re the most gorgeous
parcel I’ve ever unwrapped.” He kissed her again and reluctantly got one of his
pajama tops for her to put on. He gave her a pain pill, saying “Now I want you to
sleep for a while.” He could tell she was getting tired as her eyes were
beginning to close so he quietly left the room.

He went into the living room and
immediately called the Police Station to see what the police report of the
accident revealed.  He was disappointed to be told that none of the bystanders
could identify the car other than it was a dark sedan. They had absolutely
nothing to go on at this stage. They were still investigating.

Disappointed and feeling uneasy, he sat
thinking about the possibilities. If it was intentional, it had to be Jenny. There
was no one else who wished Lily harm. But there was no way they could prove it.
The only thing he could do was to take very good care of Lily.

“Andre?” came a call from the bedroom.

When he arrived at her bedside, she
complained, “My ankle hurts and I have to go to the bathroom.”

“No problem. Take a pain pill first,
then bathroom,” replied Andre. “I’ll have to take you everywhere until you can
walk on that leg,” Andre reminded her.

Lily slept a couple of hours and woke to
hear Andre in the shower. When he stepped out and began to dry himself, she
enjoyed looking at his bare body. He was the most beautiful man, she thought.
Tall and lean, his shoulders, arms and stomach were corded with muscle. A V of
brown hair covered his chest tapering to a narrow line that ran down to widen
again at his genitals.  Her eyes stayed there for a while and when she looked
up, she found that he was watching her look at him.

“Do you like what you see?” he asked.
“Very much,” she replied.  

He walked out to the terrace and
returned with a plastic chair which he put in the shower. He walked over to the
bed and stripped the shirt off her, picked her up and placed her in the shower
chair. “Does your ankle hurt if you keep your leg still?” She shook her head.
“Then it’s your turn,” he said. “I want to get the blood out of your hair and
you’ll feel so much better clean again,” he grinned, “and now I get to see all
of you.”

After soaping and rinsing her body, he poured
a small amount of shampoo on her hair and began to gently rub the shampoo in.
He stood in front of her chair as he began to rinse. Up till now, she had her
eyes closed but she opened them to find an erection in front of her face. With
shampoo on her hands, she began to rub and massage it, thoroughly enjoying
herself. “Quit that,” he said. “It’s right in front of my face. What am I
supposed to do?” she replied. “You can leave it alone for now. Later you can do
what you want. It’ll be all yours,” he growled. After conditioner and another
thorough rinsing, he was finally satisfied that her hair was clean of blood and
he had not hurt her stitched area or ankle.

After giving her a clean pajama top to
put on, he placed her in the middle of the bed and held her hand. “We need to
talk, “he started. “I thought I would die if anything had happened to you
before I had a chance to tell you how much I love you. I have regretted so many
times building that wall between us. I have been so attracted to you and
jealous of you dancing with another man. I have been suffering with the want of
you. I am so in love with you, crazy about you.” She was smiling and pulled him
over for a passionate kiss, then said, “I love you, too, and have been in love
with you forever it seems.”

“Do you think it would hurt your ankle
if we made love?” he asked. “I have been wanting you for so long. I refuse to
let a sprained ankle stop us, but you’ll have to figure out how we’re going to
do it,” she responded.  He carefully placed her right ankle on a pillow and she
said it didn’t hurt if she kept it still. “Do I need to use a condom, “he
asked. “No, I’m on the pill.” ”Good, I hate condoms.

I can’t wait any longer to make love to
you, “he said between kisses. “Tell me if your ankle starts to hurt.” They
kissed and kissed with his tongue touching and rubbing hers. He looked at her
breasts and said, “You have the most beautiful breasts. Everything about you is
absolutely gorgeous and all mine.”  He began to run his tongue over each
nipple, and then sucked one and then the other. Lily began to experience a
prickling feeling coming over her and then exploding with intense pleasure. She
moaned but he kept on kissing and sucking. Andre put two fingers into her and
found her to be wet and ready. “Lily, love, I can’t wait any longer to be
inside you. I won’t last long this first time. Put your left leg around my
waist so I can get to you.” He guided his penis to her and pushed the head in.
He pulled it out and pushed further…”you’re so tight…I don’t want to hurt you.”
“Just push on in,” she gasped and he pulled out and then thrust into her going
all the way in. He lay still enjoying the wonderful feeling. Lily was also
enjoying the wonder of having him inside her when he asked, “did I hurt you?”
“No,” she replied. He started moving and with three thrusts, he jerked and jerked
again, reaching his climax. He was breathing heavily and rolled off her and lay
on his side with his eyes closed. “My God, Lily, I’ve never had a climax like
that. It about killed me.” “Was it good?” she asked. “Are you kidding? It was
the best I’ve ever had and next time will be better. As soon as I can move,
I’ll help you clean up.”
