Chapter 119

"I'm nervous." Rhys said, on their way to meet with the guys. Pearl smiled. "Don't be."

"Hey Rhys! Glad you could make it." John said, greeting them at the door. Everyone was there and they had Ian on a face call on the computer. They talked a little about some ideas. Blake wanted a werewolf theme because of the song title and the band name. They all quickly shot it down, except for Rhys. "I don't like the cheesy typical werewolf idea but I like what it makes me think." He said. Dylan looked at him and Pearl could see the wheels turning.

"Beauty and the Beast" Dylan said. Rhys smiled.

"Pearl is the Beauty type character. One is you is the beast. The rest are hunters, like one, a Van Helsing character and others, we can figure that out. And she has not until a last rose petal falls, to kiss him, but a tree, shedding its last leaf." Rhys said. It was brilliant. They all loved it.

Rhys looked at Ian on the screen. "You. You would be the beast." Ian laughed. "Of course I'm the beast!"

Rhys shook his head. "You're the most known by the public for being in other bands. It has to be you. How are your acting chops?"

"I will beast my ass off for this. It will be great." Ian said, holding up a glass of whiskey to the screen.

"Pearl and I are going to Los Angeles in a couple of weeks. I would have better access to everything and I could get us onto a soundstage. We could use my condo to film, too. It's got a really cool retro vibe and it's in the hills. It will be a lot of work but I think I can get it together in a week. I will need you all to fly out and be there and know exactly what to do. Should take only a couple of days to shoot." Rhys said.

They all agreed and John said he would make all the arrangements.

"That was really exciting." Rhys said in the car. "And tomorrow the nominations come out. It's going to be a busy month."

Pearl sighed. This was the transition month. This was the month that everything changed.

"Good morning, I love you." Rhys said. Pearl had fallen asleep early. She was still exhausted from everything that had happened and was yet to come. Rhys kissed her and ran his hand along her side, following the curve of her body. He pulled back the covers and ran his hand further, past her panties and down her bare leg.

"I miss my wife." He said, moving his hand back up her leg and stopping at her panties, pulling them down. He rolled her onto her back and spread her legs, kissing her tummy and then down between them while lifting her tank top with his hand, exposing her breasts. She moaned and arched her back, opening her legs wider for him.

He moved his mouth up to her breasts, taking each one into his mouth and biting lightly on each nipple. Then he moved himself on top of her and freed himself from his boxer briefs and entered her. She bit her lip and gasped. "I miss being inside of my wife." He said, moving in and out of her, kissing her and rubbing her breast. She wrapped her legs around him and lifted her hips so he could reach deeper. He quickened the pace and she felt her climax building. "I miss cumming inside of my wife", Rhys whispered and with that, her orgasm came and she tightened her legs around him, pulling him to her. His did as well as he moaned and pumped into her, grabbing her throat and thrusting until he filled her with every last drop he could give her.

"I love you, Rhys." She said. He smiled and kissed her, still on top of her. "I love you, my wife." He said, and pushed himself into her a few more times before he rolled off of her and pulled her into his arms.

They showered and Rhys went to make coffee. She walked into the kitchen to find him on his phone. "Really? That's awesome. Ok. Thank you." He said and hung up.

"That was Hank, my agent. He's in Los Angeles and just got word on the globes. The show was nominated for two awards. Best television drama series, and Best performance by an actor in a television series drama for Holden Tomlinson." He said, smiling.

"Oh my god! Congratulations!" Pearl said, running up to him and giving him a big hug.

"Tonight, we are celebrating!" He said.
