Chapter 248

Jon’s hips were grinding into her and she couldn’t think straight. Everything was moving to fast and if she didn’t stop it now she wouldn’t be able to later.

“Jon…Jon wait.”

He had a sagging feeling when he heard her soft plea. She pleaded at him to stop,not to make love to her.

He lifted his head slowly, pain filling his blue eyes as he look down into her doe eyes.

“Jon I cant do this. We need to talk first. There are so many things that need to be sorted.”

“Cant we leave it for another day? Please baby, I will never force you to make love to me, but I need to feel you in my arms. I just want to feel you in my arms all night long. Will you give me that?”

His pleading broke down all her defences. His eyes were an electric blue and they tugged at her heart as he looked at her waiting anxiously for her answer.

“Ok, Jon. I’ll give you tonight but we have to talk this thing through.”

His arms closed around her and she closed her eyes, his smell surrounded her and she felt like she was home at last.

“The car is waiting outside lets grab something to eat.”

“I’m really not hungry Jon.”

“Well you have to eat, you don’t just have yourself to think about now. Those babies have still a long way to go and they need nourishment. If you don’t feel like eating out we can get room service.”

“No! ..I mean ..we can go to grab my stuff at my hotelroom, and then we can go somewhere to eat.”

He studied her face for a while. Stroking her cheeks with his knuckles as his voice drifted towards her.

“You’ll do anything not to be alone with me. I wont hurt you baby and I will never force you into anything you don’t want.”

She didn’t dare put her real fears into words. She didn’t trust herself. Cheyenne knew, one touch from him and all her resistance would crumble, she had more pride than falling into his arms at the first sign of passion. Her head was already in a spin thinking about the rest of the night.

Jon took a quick shower and Cheyenne went in search for Stacey and Richie.

They were in his dressing room. She knocked and after a few giggles and soft mumbling, Richie’s voice invited her in.

“Am I interrupting something here?”

“Naaw nothing serious.”

Richie had a naughty glint in his eye and Stacey was still trying to button her shirt up, making a huge mess of it.

“Honey, you missed a button or two there…”

“Oh shut up will ya, thanks to you I’m fumbling like an idiot.”

“Ok girl now spill it. Did he almost kill ya, did he love ya…WHAT?”

“He wants me to go to the hotel with him….NOT WHAT YOU TWO ARE THINKING!” She explained quickly, smiling as Richie and Stacey winked at each other.

“We have to sort this thing out. Its not only him and me now. There are two other lives involved as well.”

“Well sweetie I’m glad you two are at least talking to each other.” Stacey seemed happy.

“I’m just so scared he won’t accept the babies. He still thinks we had an affair. I think he is still in shock and not thinking straight and maybe tomorrow when he wakes up he’ll change his mind. I don’t want my babies to ever feel unloved. I’ll rather raise them by myself.”

Stacey gave Cheyenne a tissue, her arms around Cheyenne’s shoulders.

“Don’t cry honey. Everything will be ok. You’ll see.”

“I think …its….it’s the hormones making me bawl like this and my damn nerves…but I’ll be ok.”

Richie walked with Cheyenne towards Jon’s room.

Pulling her into his arms, wiping her tears from her face.

“No crying now..I want to see a smile…gimme a smile…that’s better.” He stroked her dark curls, like he would with a child. She felt safe and comfortable as his hands stroke away her fears.

“Are you ready to go baby?” Jon eyes were unnaturally big in his face, but he managed to smile, not missing her slightly swollen eyes.
