Chapter 229

Shutting the newly cleaned bungalow door behind him he closed another chapter in his life.

As every mile rolled passed, he felt the excited flutter growing stronger in the pit of his stomach.

I’m coming home baby...I’m coming home to you...his heartbeat seemed to chant. Just a few hours and she would be in his arms, her sweet curves melting to him. Oh Sweet lord! His groin was tightening at the thought.

The sun set low in the sky as he turned into Navesink river road. Pulling up to the house he killed the roaring bike and smiled as he heard the loud laughter of the people he loved more than life itself.

Jaden was laughing so loudly, Richie’s roaring laughter brought a broad smile to his face but it was the sweet giggling that send shivers down his spine.

Grabbing his backpack and his trusted guitar he shouldered his way through the door. The laughter led him to the lounge and there he found them, a jumble of limbs and bodies straining to keep their poses.

“You do the honours champ and you better make it a good one this time.” Richie crooked his neck to look at Megan, winking at her.

Jaden hopped forward and bend down to flicked the little spinner.

“Oh I wanna see this!” Jaden quipped.

No one saw the man leaning against the door frame.

“Right hand..RED!”

Richie groaned as he stretched his lanky frame over Megan’s tiny one. Dammit why did he agreed to this?! His body was crooked and in angles he never knew was possible!

“You better keep you weight off me big guy. You’re gonna crush me!” Megan squeaked as she saw Richie’s strategy.

All his concentration went askew and he tumble all over her.

“Richiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee!”

Jaden almost snapped his back, he laughed so hard. Their expressions of horror and disappointment looked outrageously funny.

The whole thing collapsed and Richie sprawled out over Megan. All you could see were big hazelnut eyes and hands clutching at the huge shoulders.

“Aaawww shit..sorry darling”. I’m not good at this!”

He knifed off her and pulled her to a sitting position. Hitting his ass on the carpet next to her he gave her a once over with mischievous sparks in his eyes.

“You ok?” He grinned at her.

“Welll..just! Geesh you’re heavy and clumsy!” She brushed over dramatically at her forehead.

“Clumsy! Well!!” he feigned a shocked look.

“Well if the lady says you’re clumsy, you’re clumsy asshole.”

All heads whipped towards the familiar voice.

“DADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!”

Jaden bounced towards him and threw himself in his arms.

“You’re back!! We missed you!”

“Yeah I’m back. I missed you too sport! You’ll never know how much.” The last was aimed at the stunned woman staring at him.

“Welcome back bro’! Its really good to see you. You look good my man.”

Richie hugged him, leaving the boy crushed between them.

“Thanx my brother. I feel good.”

Megan couldn’t get herself to move. He looked so good, sparkling blue eyes, a little shadow of scruff darkening his chin. His hair framed his strong face and from where she sat she smelled his mixture of spice and a tinge of sweat drifting her way...The jeans seemed a bit loose, the only sign of what he had gone through the past week. But God Almighty he looked handsome as ever! Maybe even more so....

He read the hunger in her unnatural shiny eyes. His gut gripped for a moment. She looked like a flower after the first spring rain..so fresh and gorgeously fragile.

“So do I get to play twister with the champ or what?” why was his voice so hoarse?

“Yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!! Mom, dad  gonna kick your butt!”

Jaden’s piercing voice brought her out of her hypnotic state.

“He’s gonna what?! Oh so know you guys are ganging up against me?! Bring it on cowboy..show me what you got.”

A shiver rippled down Jon’s spine. Oh fuck! Why did she had to say it like that? His starved body won’t be able to withstand such a sexy slip of the tongue.

“This I gotta see.” Richie snorted, thank God for Jaden’s innocence. He didn’t see the strange bulge in his daddy’s pants!

Ducking closely to Jonny’s ear he taunted.

“Down cowboy..down.”
