Chapter 210

Chapter 211

Dorothea came home two days later but having a child in hospital proved to be tiresome for both parents. Jon escorted Dorothea to the hospital daily.  Megan was kept company by Richie and Jaden, when he came home from school. She thanked the gods for Richie everyday, without him she would have gone completely nuts.

At day four little Jesse was diagnosed with jaundice and was placed under ultraviolet lights, everyone was upset about the complication. Jesse seemed to be a fighter and in no time did he recover.

Dinnertime was spent listening to the doting parents, boasting about how well their little one was doing and how cute and special he was.

Things between Jon and Megan was somewhat strained and although everyone picked up on it,  no one commented. Megan used her advanced pregnancy as an excuse whenever Jon came near her. Soon he accepted his fate and didn’t bother seeking any comfort from her, knowing that it will only cause her to lie to him and think up irritating excuses, besides spending each and every day in the hospital was tedious and he only wished the baby could come home so their lives could return to normal. Megan was nearing her due  date and in the back of Jon’s mind was the concern that something might happen to her when he wasn’t there, knowing that his best friend was close by brought some reassurance.

Carol and John were regular visitors, at the house as well as the hospital. Carol was blooming with pride and it seemed like the earlier tussle was forgotten.

Sitting at the dining table Megan’s mind roamed as her eyes rested on each person present at the table.

They were almost full house tonight...John, Carol, Richie, Sandra (Richie’s new girlfriend), Jaden, Dorothea and Jon.

Watching everyone as they drank, ate and conversed she felt eyes on her. Shifting her gaze she met Jon’s. His eyes cleared the rim of his wine glass, challenging her to keep looking at him. The message was clear, he wanted her, plain and simple..he wanted her as a virile male wanted his mate. Her heart bounced in her chest and a slow sizzle worked through her limbs. They seemed to be spun in their own web of heat and yearning. As if his blazing stare wasn’t enough , Jon dropped his glass just an inch lower, making sure she was watching him he snaked out his tongue, licking the rim of the glass. Oh that tongue! How many mind blowing sessions had she experienced with that tongue...

Hoping to seem calm and collected she sipped from her glass only to be thrown into an uncontrolled choking.

Richie slapped her gently.

“Are you ok, honey?”

“Yes...*cough*..Yes I’m ok.”

Devils danced in his eyes..he knew.

She wasn’t as immune as she made out....he could almost smell her arousal from where he sat....tonight...

It was late when the last guest walked through the front door.

Megan was on edge...Jon’s smouldering stares had burned a hole right through her. Its been weeks since they’ve been intimate and even though she was the reason for the abstinence , she craved his touch.

Richie had disappeared with Sandra, promising to show her the wonders of the Shoe Inn. Dorothea had excused herself earlier and Jaden was fast asleep.

She and Jon were now completely alone.

Richie let her laughter tingle through him. This girl was a wild one, daring and very charming. She brought adventure into his life, not that the life of a rock star was anything but adventurous in itself but she had that spark, fire he wanted in a woman. She was damn funny and generous, not like the  bimbos he had coming in and out of his life on a regular basis.

Shoving the door with one shoulder, he flicked on the lights and stood aside.

“Welcome to the Shoe Inn..where all the fun happens. You do like to have fun don’t you?”

“Depends on what you mean by fun...handsome.” Her hand crept up underneath his shirt, tip toeing towards his chest.

Clearing his throat, he felt her slip a finger into this belt , pulling him inside.  Like a lamb to the slaughter , he followed.
