THE MORTON QUADRUPLETS

CHAPTER 30 - RACHEL

I wake up to the bright light flooding the room we are in. The sound of birds chirping can be heard through the window. I am cuddled into Ryan's side. I cannot recall ever being this happy. I wrap my arms around Ryan and give him a tight hug.

He groans and wraps his arms around me and hug me back.

"This is what life should be like" Ryan says in his sleepy voice. A broad smile crosses my face. I agree. This is what life would have been like. It is what was meant for us.

I lay my head on his chest.

"I agree with you. What are we going to do today?" I ask Ryan. I am clearly far more awake than he is. I do not even sound sleepy anymore.

Ryan looks at me with one eye open. The other still closed.

"You are not going anywhere until you promise to wake up next to me for the rest of my life." He watches me a few seconds with his one open eye. Tiredness must have won because he closes his eye and taps my shoulder with his index finger. Clearly wanting an answer.

"That sounds very much like a proposal, Mr Morton." I tell him jokingly. It does sound like a proposal. With no ring.

Ryan groans softly and then suddenly wraps his arms tighter around me. He hugs me to him and rolls over so I am pinned between him and the bed.

"If you are going to give me a hard time for not having a ring ready..." he trails off while kissing me softly in the neck. He covers me in kisses while he rubs his body against mine. I can feel his arousal rubbing between my legs. ".... I have something far better than a ring."

I groan deeply as he slides into me.

"Say yes, be my Mrs Morton." He talks like he has a lot of control. I have lost all control the moment he kissed me. I moan with the pleasure of him making love to me.

"Yesss" I claw into his back with my nails. "Yes!"

The next time I wake, it is to the ringing for Ryan's phone. He has a boring businessman's ringtone.

"Yes?" he sounds irritated when he answers. "What?" He goes silent when he listens to the person on the other side. I can feel the tension growing in his body.

"Stay safe. I will be there within the hour." Ryan is getting up while he is saying this. He walks to the bathroom and open the taps to the shower.

"Yes, will do" he ends the call and looks at me.

"We need to go. I will explain everything in the car." Ryan says and turns to head into the shower.

I get up quickly and pack everything that can be packed into Ryan's luggage. When he exits the shower, I head in quickly.

By the time I am done, Ryan has already set the luggage by the door. I get dressed quickly and tie my hair up in a wet bun. We leave the room, I give the area one last scan before closing the door and running after Ryan.

Ryan puts the luggage in his car and opens the passenger door for me. I get into the car and wait for Ryan to get into the car.

He is tensed and I can feel it in the air. He pulls the car out of the parking lot and slips effortlessly into traffic. As soon as we get onto the freeway, Ryan pushes the vehicle over the speed limit. He makes his way through the traffic as if they are not moving at all.

I want to ask Ryan what is going on but he seems to be lost in his thoughts.

His phone rings again. It is now connected to the car's sound system.
