Phoenix Falling

Chapter 15

******** Liam ********

I almost panicked, when she told me to wife her. Who had told her? There were only four people in the world who knew I was planning it. Chuck, Tim, myself and the old man. But then I decided that she didn’t know. She was just giving me her feelings. I appreciated that. It was just so oddly coincidental. I woke her up this morning early. She thought we were going home, but I hadn’t told her I had extended our trip. I smiled when I told her not to bother packing her suitcase and she looked at me confused. It was 5:30 am. I wanted to get some coffee before I took her to the limo waiting out front.  We grabbed starbucks on our way out of the hotel. She snacked happily on a scone and sipped her iced coffee. Not asking where we were going. But she turned when I led her to the long black car. 

“A limo?” She asked. I smiled at her, holding the door for her while she got in. It took us to the Maverick helicopter office. 

“A helicopter?” She asked me. I just smiled. I wasn’t giving her too much. I helped her climb gingerly up into the black helicopter. I noticed she was nervous. Shaking a little. Ducking her headds as the rotary blades of the propellor spun above us. Once we were buckled I helped her put her headset on. There was one other person besides us and the pilot. She took the front seat. I hadn’t told her this person was a photographer I had hired. Then the Pilot clicked to life. 

“How are you guys this morning? Ready to take off?” He asked. We both answered yes. Then Olivia turned to me. 

“Where are we going?” I just smiled at her, then I winked at the pilot in his rear view mirror. Suddenly we lifted off. Smoothly launching into the air. We soared through the air, zooming over the Hoover Dam. She was giddy with excitement pointing it out to me. I smiled at her. Ecstatic that I could make her this happy. The helicopter then flew over the Canyon. Down low amongst the cliffs and bluff. After a while we began aiming for one of the Bluffs in the very middle. As we got closer I could see a table set up. That was for us. We touched down gently on the red dirt of the canyon. 

“Well, you can enjoy some sites. Take some pictures and have some snacks here.” The pilot said. I smiled at her. Then I went around the helicopter to help her out. It was like second nature to me, ducking under the blades. I had been in thousands of these damn things. I took her hand and led her over to the table. She grabbed a few crackers and I poured her a sparkling cider. She sipped happily on it as we walked hand in hand to the edge of the bluff. I could hear the camera clicking behind us. I smiled, happy this moment would be documented. When we got near the edge I waited until she turned away from me. Then I dropped onto one knee, pulling the ring from my pocket. More clicks from the camera. 

******** Olivia ********

We walked hand in hand to the edge of the canyon bluff. I couldn’t believe he had done this for me. It was so romantic. I looked out at the scene. I couldn’t believe I was looking at the Grand Canyon. There it was, huge, majestic. Bigger than I had ever imagined. He let go of my hand for a moment and I turned to look in the other direction. I wasn’t sure what to focus on with 360 degree views. I turned back to him. He was on one knee. A glistening ring in his hand. 

“Oh my god.” I said. My hands flying up to cover my mouth. He smiled at me. 

“Olivia,” He started. I felt a tear slide down my cheek. 

“Olivia, Jean Dawson. I love you, with my entire soul. I want to spend the rest of my life waking up next to you. Going to bed holding you. I want our two hearts to become one forever. Olivia. Will you marry me?” He asked. The tears were falling freely now. I nodded. 

“Yes!” I cried through my sobs. He slid the ring onto my finger then he stood up, pulling me into a deep hug. Kissing me passionately. Lifting me from the ground and spinning me around. He held me close for what seemed an eternity. I could hear the other passenger snapping photos. I peeked, 

“You hired a photographer?” I asked. He set me down, kissing me again. 

“Of course.” He said smiling. 

“Is this what you were doing yesterday?” I asked. He nodded. I smiled and kissed him again. The photographer walked over. 

“Can we do a photo of the two of you with the canyon as a backdrop, Olivia put the ring hand on his chest please.” She snapped a few. 

“Perfect, let’s do a ring shot now, Olivia. Set your hand on top of his.” She zoomed in on our hands and took a few more. 

“Ok, go for a walk away from me.” We turned to walk away.

“Ok now stop, Olivia I want that ring finger on his shoulder and you looking back towards me.” She said. Click, click, click. We spent close to an hour taking photos. I didn’t complain, I was engaged and the ring was amazing. White gold, with a huge pink stone in the center. Around it were tons of small diamonds, all halod by another batch of small diamonds. 

“Liam this ring, it is absolutely gorgeous.” I said. Kissing him gently. He pulled my hand up to his lips and kissed my hand. 

“It was my grandma’s” He said smiling. 

“Oh my god. You gave me a family heirloom?” I said, gazing down at it again. It was so big. 

“Yes love. I did. Because it’s your family now too.” he said. Kissing me gently again. 

“Now, we’ve kept the pilot way longer than planned. Shall we?” He asked. Leading me back towards the helicopter. I smiled and followed his lead. He helped me in and buckled me. Then he ran around to the otherside. 

“Congratulations.” Said the pilot over the intercom. I smiled. 

“Thank you.” I said happily. Our return flight to Vegas I held his hand the whole way. I couldn’t believe it and just yesterday i was joking that he should wife me up. He’d been planning it. No wonder he had been acting so weird. Coming into the city, we flew over the strip. Getting a great view of the city skyline. I wanted to text the girls and tell them. But I decided that I had better do it in person. We rode the Limo back to the hotel. 

“I got us another night here.” Liam said, then drug me back to the room and made love to me for the rest of the day. In the morning we got up and drove home to Phoenix. I couldn’t believe I was going to be his bride. I kept looking at the ring. I couldn’t help it. It was beautiful.

“If you don’t quit staring at that thing. You are going to wear it out.” He said cheekily. 

“I can’t help it. I’m so happy.” I said kissing him below the ear. He let out that sexy moan that turned me on so much. I smiled and slid my hands down his torso. Stopping at his belt to unbuckle it. Then I unbuttoned his jeans.

“Olivia.” He said, trying to stall me. I smiled. Then I unzipped him. 

“Distracted driving is not my strong suit.” He said. I smiled more. I pulled his erection from his pants. God it was so big, long, thick. Hard. soft all at the same time. I unbuckled my seatbelt and leaned over him taking him in my mouth. He moaned. I wired my tongue around the tip. Running laps around the rim. It hardened more than it had already been. I slid myself down. Taking all of him into my mouth. Pushing against the back of my throat. I gripped the base of him tightly. Sliding him in and out of my mouth. I felt his hands grip my pony tail. His hips flex. 

“Olivia.” He moaned.

“Pay attention to the road.” I said, letting him fall from my mouth. 

“Dammit don’t quit” He said urging me back towards him. I smiled. I lowered my head back down His rock hard erection disappearing between my lips. He moaned again and thrust his hips upwards. I pulled back and gently licked the top of him. Then I ran my tongue down his shaft. 

“Quit teasing baby.” He moaned. I smiled, Then I slipped the head into my mouth again. Sucking hard on him. 

“Ah, yes” He moaned. To my surprise he pushed my head down. 

“Yea baby. Suck me hard like that!” He said. I sucked hard while he pushed my head down each time that I brought it back up. His next moan was a little louder. 

“I love when you put me in your mouth.” He said. I smiled. Wow dirty talk? I flicked my tongue against the slit in the head. Working it quickly. Suddenly he came. Emptying himself into my mouth. I smiled and sat up. Letting him watch me swallow. He smiled.

“Damn baby. I can’t believe you're going to be my wife.” He said, putting his foot down a little harder. 

“Why are you going so fast?” I asked him. 

“I have to get you home and return the favor, baby.” He said, gripping my hand tightly. I smiled. I was ok with that.
