Epilogue

Thunderclouds were building up and Cheyenne stared worriedly at the sky.

This was Stacey’s day and which bride would want to get soaked on her way to the altar?

“Dont worry I think we’re gonna make it before the rain comes.”

Stacey turned from the mirror. The healthy pregnancy glow lit her face up, and the huge bump gave her a few more curves. She looked stunning!

Stacey smiled and touch her bump gently as her son gave a healthy kick.

“Ready Stace? Richie is waiting.”

Dot stood at the door, holding the newest addition to the family in her arms. She had her mother dark hair and her daddy’s catgreen eyes.

“Thanks Dot. We’re coming.”

Cheyenne took her best friend’s hand.

“ You look gorgeous honey. Go knock him dead.”

Jon kissed her gently on the cheek when he walked passed her.

“You are breathtaking, sweatheart! I just don’t know if Richie’s nerves are gonna hold up. “He winked mischievously at her.

Cheyenne and Jon was suddenly alone in the room. She didn’t notice the click of the lock.

“What are you doing here? Arent you suppose to be by Richie’s side?”

“Arrgh let him sweat. Besides I wanted to come and say hi to my wife and steal a kiss or two.”

“Oh well that could be arranged.”

Her warm lips pressed against his, opening to him as she felt his tongue seeking entrance. He could never get enough of her taste. The way she melted into him always manages to steal his breath, stoking the insatiable hunger he felt for her.

Cheyenne found herself against the dressing table.

“Na a aaah. This is not the time for this.”

“There is always time to show my wife how much I love her.”

She was sitting on the table, Jon standing between her legs, feeling his way to her panties. His fingers reached its target and Cheyenne gasped, horrified at his timing but also turned on by his unexpected passion.

His fingers teased her nub to life, feeling it grow under his gentle ministration.

He hand clutched at his shoulder, her head tilted back as he kissed her to mindless desire.

Her fingers unzipped his pants and true to Jon he didn’t have underwear on. Before his pants reached the ground, he thrust into her. Cupping her ass, he pounded into her, sending her to heaven and back.

He knew the exact moment when she slipped over the edge and exploded into a mindblowing orgasm. He closed his mouth over hers, capturing her cry in his.

Her nails dug into his flesh and as her walls pulsed she shoved him over the edge too.

Her head laid on his chest listening to the thundering of his heart.

“God Jon. You are so bad! Stacey is probably waiting for us and here we are lusting after each other like crazed teenagers!”

“Honey you drove me wild and I promised myself I will never fight it. This wasn’t what I had in mind but seeing you standing there, with your back to me, flashing that gorgeous ass..well I’m just a man and you are my woman..and as they say the rest is history.”

He was busying himself, trying to get himself in order when he realised Cheyenne was still sitting on the dressing table not moving an inch.

“Baby, you better get yourself respectable, we have a wedding to go to.”

The blond, shaggy haired, blue eyed hunk struggling to get his pants on, astounded her everyday. Just when she thought she couldn’t love him more, he proved her wrong.

“Baby?”

“Cmere....”

He stepped closer, his eyes two sparkling pools, the smile on his lips mesmerizing her.

“ I sometimes wish the world could see you through my eyes. You would be able to capture the world and hold it in the palm of your hand. You bring love and laughter into my life. One smile like that and my world lits up. I love you so much it scares me sometimes.”

“Baby I don’t need the world to see me like this. All this if for you and only you. You are my world, my universe. You are all I need.”

A soft whisper brushed over his lips just before he touched her lips with his.

“I love you.”

“Lets get our two best friends married, shall we?”

“Ready when you are.”

Hand and hand and as one soul they walked out to path the way to their friends’ new life together.

THE END

Chapter 388

They found everyone down stairs. Dot and Rob had arrived to greet the couple before they went on honeymoon.

Richie stood up, smiling as he saw Cheyenne and Jon walking hand in hand towards them.

Stacey gave Cheyenne a knowing smile and winked at Jon when his eyes rested on her.

Richie stood behind Stacey, pulling her back into his embrace he smiled as he announced.

“Stacey and I are gonna have a baby.”

Everyone congratulated them and Stacey basked in the attention, Richie held her close, holding her and kissing her as they go along.

“Hey! So the old man is going to be a daddy again? You up to it brother?’

“I hope to God I am!”

Jon hugged Stacey.

“Congratulations honey.”

Dot and Rob stepped forward, congratulating the couple. Rob kept on pestering Dot, but she just ignored him or at least tried to.

Jon didn’t miss it and decided to explore further.

“Whassup Rob? I see you are giving Dot a hard time there.”

Dot slapped Rob.

“See what you did. Now I’ll never hear the end of this.”

Rob kissed his wife on the mouth silencing her.

“We are pregnant too.”

A silence fell over the sittingroom, the next moment everyone started talking all at once.

“Well fuck me!”
Richie was astounded, he stepped forward to congratulate Dot.
“Its all you fault Jon! Yu called this one!”
“No I didn’t, Romeo did.”
Cheyenne hugged her close.
“I’m so happy for you! How far are you?”
“Five.”
“Five weeks. Still early. You better look after yourself.”
Dot smiled as she shook her head.
“Months.”
As if in one voice all said “Months?!”
Jon stood up.
“Cant be Dot, you have never carried small. I see no bump.”
“Thats because you cant take you eyes of Cheyenne long enough to notice.”
Jon burst out, with everyone else. She turned to the side, flattening her sweater to her stomach to display the little bump.
Jon rubbed it gently.
“Aaahh now I see it. So you hid it from us?”
Rob smiled.
“We just wanted to get over the worse, but to be honest we only found out about two months ago, and let me be the first to tell you. Romeo’s wish came true. It is a little girl!”

Chapter 387

Cheyenne couldn’t understand where he was going with this. She was still in shock and wanted to beg him to listen to her, but he wouldn’t hear any of it.


“ I told myself everyday that I could live with the knowledge of you and Richie’s affair. I even tried to convince myself that I could forget it, but the truth is I couldn’t, everytime I saw you two smiling at each other, touching each other I wondered. Would the attraction flare up again? I was wrong. I listened to my jealousy and not my heart. I made everyone’s life miserable. Blaming everyone. I’m sorry Rich, my friend. I should have known you would never betray me.”

Richie almost popped a vessel in his head when blew out his breath. He’s been holding it so long he felt faint.

“Did you hear our conversation?”

Jon nodded.

“The best eavesdropping I’ve ever done in my life.”

The two men, hugged each other. Standing like that for a while.

“I’m sorry Richie. I was a total fucking idiot.”

“I’m just glad this has been resolved.”

Richie turned towards Cheyenne. Hugging her briefly, leaving a kiss on her hair.

“You got your wish, honey. He believes you now. He knows the truth.”

He stepped back looking from Cheyenne to Jon.

“I’m going downstairs to make an announcement. I know you have to talk things through, but don’t be long ,k? I will be waiting for you two.”

Richie walked out but they didn’t even notice.

Jon’s face said it all. His clear blue eyes were filled with regret and anger. Anger directed to himself for being such an ass to so many people he loved.

Cheyenne had a vulnerable little smile on her face, her eyes were shining from unshed tears.

“How am I ever going to right this wrong, baby? I put you and Richie through hell, accused you of an affair. Oh shit what did I do?”

Her hand cupped his cheek.

“Just tell me you love me and that you know I will never betray your love and trust.”

His arms crushed her to him. He was silent but she could feel tears running down his face into her hair.

“I love you baby. I love you so much it edges on madness, obsession. Call it what you want. I will never ever doubt your fidelity again. I trust you with my whole heart, my life. I’m yours to do with as you see fit. You are my wife and I will do everything in my power to keep you happy. That is my promise to you.”

“Oh Jon! I love you honey!”

As answer he took her mouth, his tongue slipping gently, pouring all his love into that one kiss.

“I guess we should go and find out what Richie has to say.”

Chapter 386

He felt lightheaded and grabbed the doorframe.

This cannot be true! FUCK! I’m dreaming. I must be.

Richie’s height kept Jon from her view. They stood hugging each other for a little while longer.

“Aren’t you supposed to be on honeymoon?”

“I am on honeymoon. We are leaving tomorrow. Trying to get rid of me?”

“Never sweetheart! I love you too damn much!”

Jon didn’t know if he should crash their cosy little conversation and call them out for the bastards they were. Something held him back.

How the fuck could they do this? Why in the hell did she marry him if she wanted Richie?

The next question stopped his thoughts in their tracks.

“Are you happy with Jon darlin’?”

“Rich words cannot explain how I feel about him.”

Her voice was quivering as she spoke.

“I love him so much it hurts. He is my soulmate the love of my life. I don’t need anything but him. Only one thing is amiss...” her voice drifted off.

So is she telling him its over? He didn’t understand the direction of their conversation.

“What honey?”

“I just wish he would believe in my fidelity. I know he still thinks we slept together, and you know what? Its hurts like hell. The only reason why he believes the twins are his, is Mikayla’s resemblance to Steph. I wish there is a way I could tell him. There had never been anyone but him. I love him I will never betray him.”

Richie took her in his arms again, holding her, stroking her hair like he would a child. She hung onto him, letting him sooth her, trying to hold the tears in her eyes back. She didn’t need a million questions when she went downstairs.

He lifted her face upwards, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. A movement by the door drew his attention and he suddenly felt physically sick.

Cheyenne felt Richie’s body stiffened and that’s when she saw Jon in the door. His eyes were huge and he was clutching his stomach.

Cheyene jerked from Richie, a guilty flush creeping into her cheeks.

“Oh fuck. Jon wait let me explain. SHIT!! How do I do this...”

Cheyenne felt her legs turned to rubber when she saw the look on his face.

“Jon, honey let me explain...”

“No need to explain. I can make my own conclusions.”

“But you’re wrong. Please just listen.”

Jon stepped forward, color was returning to his cheeks but he still seemed upset.

“I came to the conclusion that I am a total fucking idiot who almost messed up a 20 year relationship and almost lost you and my kids. How could I be so blind?”

Chapter 385

Jon and Cheyenne found a house full of people. The house was buzzing, kids running around, adults sitting everywhere.

Cheyenne couldn’t wait to see the babies and went straight towards the nursery.
Thats where Stacey found her.

“Hey girl!”

“Hey Stace.”

“They were little angels. Carol apparently woke up only once. Chey there is something I want to tell you before Richie blabbers it to the world.”

Cheyenne lifted her gaze, now curious.

“I’m pregnant.”

Cheyenne’s head whipped around.

“Oh my God! Oh my GOD!!! Stace!! When, how.... ?”

Stacey laughed as Cheyenne hugged her, the astonished look on her face was priceless.

‘Where? I guess at my place. How? I would have thought a woman with twins should know how...”

Cheyenne laughed, her mind was spinning.

“Oh you wise ass. I wanted to as you how far you were!”

“Eight weeks”

“Oh I’m so glad for you and Richie! How did he react? I guess he was over the moon!”

“Well that is an understatement if I’ve ever heard one. He almost crushed me to death and then swung me around like a mad man! By the way he so much as ordered you and me to get the wedding going. He doesn’t want his son to be born illegitimately.”

“Son?”

“He is so sure its a boy. So lets just humor him till the sonar tells him otherwise, k?”

They hugged again. Stacey sat with her for a while, just sharing the joy they felt in companionable silence.

“I’m gonna check up on Carol. She is a real busy body. Poor Violet doesn’t know what to do with her in the kitchen. So I’m gonna do my good deed for the day and save the poor woman.”

Cheyenne was still smiling after she put the twins to bed.

“I take it you heard the news?”

Richie was leaning against the door frame. He looked years younger and by the looks of it, it seemed like his smile was glued on.

She squealed when she saw him standing there.

He stepped forward catching her as she ran into his arms.

“Oh Richie I cant tell you how I feel!”

Jon heard the squeal coming from the room and took a few larger steps to see what the matter was.

A sinking feeling slowed his steps as he saw Richie leaning against the door. His feet got a life of their own and as he poked his head around the corner, he heard her words and saw her in his arms, her face lit as she stared into his face.

The breakfast they shared this morning worked its way up as she stood on tiptoe to plant a kiss on his awaiting mouth.

Chapter 384

Jon woke up, feeling kisses up and down his body. He was a married man again! He lifted his left hand , staring at the gold band.

“Good morning, Mr. Bongiovi.” She was playing with his navel, her tongue darting in and out.

She could feel the stiffening of muscles between her breasts. Lowering herself even more, she trapped the twitching muscle between her breasts.

“Ooohhh. Good morning to you too Mrs. Bongiovi. Don’t I get a good mornin’ kiss?” He pulled her upwards, letting her body slide over his.

He waited just until she deepened the kiss and flipped her over on her back.

“My turn.” He flashed her his perfect white pearlies.

He snickered when he found her wet and ready. She snorted unladylike at him, trying to hide her embarrassment.

‘What? I’ve been helping myself to you for the last half an hour!”

“A job well done then, baby.”

He moved in between her thighs, seeing the excited flush creeping over her face.
He was just as ready and hard for her and he knew this was going to be a quick, hard ride for both of them.

Lust was written all over her face, mirroring his own.

He thrust into her hard, keeping himself still for a few moments to let her adjust.

Her body spoke to his and soon they moved together, riding the wave of pleasure, letting it crash over them.

“Ooh baby!”

Her legs clamped him to her, letting him feel her tightening.

He collapsed onto her, feeling drained.

“I’m hungry.”

Jon started shaking, laughing so hard.

“What so funny? Have you seen the time? Its past eleven!”

He lifted himself onto his elbows, squeezing her cheeks together, giving her a fish mouth.

“Oh pouty mouth! Jump in the shower I’ll order us something.”

“Joining me when your done?”

“When have I ever said no to a beautiful naked woman in my shower?”

A few minutes later he stepped into the shower. Her healing scars caught his eye.

The thin red scars covering her body reminded him how close he came to losing her. His hands traced the red marks, to Cheyenne it was just Jon exploring her body. To him it was a silent thank you for keeping her alive.

She realised after a while his thoughts were far removed from where he was at the moment and that’s when she realised he was tracing the scars absentmindedly.

“The doctor said it should fade with time. I’m using tissue oil to speed up the healing process.”

“ I don’t care about the scars, baby. The only reason why I would like them to be gone is for the simple reason, I want to forget what that bastard did to you.”

“It will always be there, Jon. There’s nothing we can do about it. We can just be thankful that I was spared to see my babies grow up and grow old with the love of my life.”

He took her in his arms, letting the warm water cascade over them for a while.

“Baby I thank the Lord everyday for keeping you and the twins safe. You are my life, without you there is nothing.”

Chapter 383

Richie stopped in his tracks. His face turned into a funny grey.

Stacey jumped up, holding her hand up defensively as she went closer.

“Listen Richie...I” and that was as far as she got.

He had closed the distance between them, crushed her to him and kissed her mindless.

A while later they came up for air, both panting, he smiling and she still in shock.

His eyes were shining so brightly, it dazzled her.

“So I take it you are ok with this?”

“Ok? FUCK honey! I never thought I’d be a dad again! Oh my God I’m going to be a dad again!”

He scooped her up, swinging her in the air.

‘Woaaoh rock star. If you go on like this, you’ll shake the baby out!”

“Naaw he is a Sambora. Samboras are tough!”

He did stop his swinging though. An eyebrow flicked up.

“He?”

“Its a boy. I just know it.”

His big hand rested on her belly.

Tears rushed to her eyes. Thank God! He still wanted her and the baby!

“Yep, its a boy!” He nodded.

“Oh Richie!”

He heard the little twitch in her voice and he looked up. The joy on his face was indescribable.

“Aaaaw, sweetie. Why the crying? Hormones?”

She slapped him.

“No asshole! You don’t know how scared I was to tell you!”

“How long have you known this?”

“Bout 2 weeks now...” she refused to meet his stare.

“TWO FUCKING WEEKS!! I’m sorry darlin’. Dont mind me.”

He pulled her closer.

“Baby you don’t know how happy you have made me!”

She sniffed into his chest.

“Really?”

“Really, really, really.”

She laughed.

“The only problem is. Our son is not gonna be born out of wedlock. So honey you and Chey better get this wedding going.”

“You sure of this, aren’t you?”

“As sure as death, sweetheart.”
