Chapter 35

She reached the pool and took some tanning lotion, starting with her legs, then her arms. A shadow fell over her and she looked up. Richie was standing there, with the sweet smile she has grown to love.

“Need some help with your back honey?”

Cheyenne wanted to decline, but Jon’s words replayed in her head again and she looked up at him smiling.

“Oh, would you? You’re a sweetheart! Thanx Rich!”

“Any reason to lay my hands on a foxy lady like you!”

She took the lotion and squirted into his big hands. Hands that could make a guitar weep. He reached over and she stopped him.

“Wait Richie . Don’t you want to loosen my bikini strap and then put on the lotion, please?”

“Chey. Look at me… do you think I wouldn’t like to loosen your bikini strap. Hell I’m all for it honey!”

She slapped him on the arm. “Oh, Rich. You are impossible you know that!”

Richie loosened the strap and Cheyenne felt the lotion on her skin. Richie stroked her back in circular movements . He had big hands, but they were very gentle on her skin.

Why couldn’t I fall in love with a man like Richie. He is so much fun to be around with and I think he can charm a girl until her head spins!

Cheyenne felt a shadow falling over them and opened her eyes. Jon was standing in front of her anger written all over his face.

Oh God why does he always get the wrong impression!

“Oh, hey Jonny boy. Just helping your girl here, I was afraid she would burn to a crisp with her lily white skin. So I offered to put some lotion on.”

“I can see that. I’m here now, so you can go for a swim I’ll take over from here.”

Richie stood up and smiled at Cheyenne.

“There you go Chey. I’m done here, I think you’re in good hands now!” He winked and turned around and dived into the pool.

Cheyenne felt quite nervous with Jon sitting behind her. Richie either didn’t see the anger in his face or he chose to ignore it.

Jon puts his hands on her back stroking her slowly. The lotion melted into her skin a while ago. But she just loves Jon’s hands on her.

“You are quite the tease aren’t you?”

Cheyenne opened her eyes but didn’t say a word.

Shit here we go again.
