Synching With the Devil's Son

Chapter 73

Bella's P.O.V.

"My cousin said he'll give you a great price on his car," Trish tells me while she loads her dishwasher.

"That's great! How much is he going to charge me?"

"He said it's worth about fifteen thousand, but he'll sell it to you for half that."

"What?" I say, flabbergasted. "Why?"

"I don't know, maybe because you're Chris' sister and my best friend?"

That doesn't make sense to me. He's throwing away thousands of dollars. I probably should not look a gift horse in the mouth because it would be a big stretch for me if he sold it for what it was worth, but something isn't adding up here. "That doesn't explain why he'll sell it to me for so little."

"Maybe you should ask him," she says, not understanding why I'm not jumping at the opportunity. "I need to tell him if you're interested or not because he needs to put an add in the paper if you do not want it."

"Yes, I'm very interested, thank you," I say softly, pushing my unease to the back of my mind.

"Okay, I'll let him know. He's coming into town this weekend, you can meet up with him and discuss the details then," she tells me, looking at her calendar. "How about Saturday at 5:00?"

"Yeah," I breathe, "that works for me." I wonder briefly if Lucien will be back from Hell by then.

"Great!" she says, turning toward me after her dishes have been rinsed and put into the dishwasher. "Enough about Tommy and his car, I want to hear all about Lucien."

I smile serenely at her. "What do you want to know?"

She narrows her eyes at me. "Don't be obtuse. You guys were all over each other this weekend and I haven't heard from you since we got home."

"That storm was pretty intense. Lucien drove me home and then helped corral all the animals. By the time we were done, it was pouring, so he stayed at our house."

She snaps her eyes at me. "He spent the night at your house?" When I nod she asks, "Were your father and brother home?" I nod again. "And they were okay with that?"

I nod for a third time with a slight smirk on my face. "I cannot believe how quickly Lucien has assimilated into my family," I tell her. "He jumped right in to help with all the animals, both before the storm hit and then again the next morning. We've only been together for a few days, but both Chris and my Dad commented on what a great guy he is. They both like him, but only half as much as I do."

She does a double take and then smiles at me. "Are you getting past your previous, albeit horrendous, expereinces?"

I smilie impishly. "WAY past."

"Girrlllll, have you finally had your first orgasm?" she asks excitedly.

How much do I tell her? I decide on everything except Lucien being an angel. "Mmm," I say deliciously, "I've had exactly six orgasms this weekend," I confide cheekily.

"WHAT?!" Trish asks, "Lucien gave you six orgasms? How many times did you have sex?"

"Umm, just once, but it was a magical hour." When she snaps her head in my direction, I say, "The first one was in the river...he used his hands, and the second was on my couch when he used only his mouth."

Trish is speechless. Her mouth moves while she tries to formulate what she wants to say. "I'm sorry," she finally manages, "you've had intercourse once, for an hour, and had four orgasms?"

I nod, not realizing how unusual that scenario is. "Yep, and I'm so sore down there, that I had to flee to your house before my Dad suspected anything."

At this admission, Trish peals with laughter and hugs me tightly. "Congratulations my friend, I am so proud of you. The rumors about Lucien must be accurate if what you are saying is true. We should have a 'Bella Has Finally Found Her Sexuality' party!" We both laugh and continue talking about Lucien, and how my family reacted to him. I tell her about Chris interfering by asking if Lucien is aware of what happened to me, and how it made me feel worthless and used. We talked about Lucien's reaction to it all, and how considerate and gentle he has been toward me. We talked about Ryan, and what we are doing this summer after graduation. The time has flown by and I need to leave so I can help my Dad at the farm. I give Trish a hug and head home, promising to return once Tommy gets into town.
