Chapter 66

Somewhere during the flight Cheyenne threw her healthy arm over Richie’s chest. The pills kicked in and she was sleeping like a baby. Richie was also sleeping but after a while he woke up and found Cheyenne’s arm over his chest. She looked so peaceful sleeping like that and nothing in this world could make him disturb her.

He knew that Jon would probably be really pissed, but he couldn’t give a damn.

He looked over towards Jon…Yep, he’s spitting flames!

“Shit bro could you pass me my beer. I’m a bit occupied at the moment.”

Jon handed him his beer and stared down into Cheyenne’s face.

“She had a fucking horrible time, but it’s gonna be better now, we will look after her.”

“Yeah, she gonna be just fine.”

Cheyenne moved in her sleep, tugged at Richie’s shirt and pulled him closer mumbling in her sleep.

Jon went hot and cold all at once. He couldn’t take it anymore and just as he turned on his heel to walk away he heard her…

“Jon” it was a breathy whisper but he heard it.

She snuggled closer into’s Richie’s chest and held his shirt as if her life depended on it.

Richie lifted his head and looked at his friend. Jon’s face transformed immediately. Gone were the harsh lines and the hurt in his eyes.

“Aaaaw damn, my heart!” Richie grabbed at his heart and winked at Jon.

He had his old friend back! Fuck that was so good to see.

Richie looked down at the girl snuggled against his chest, he felt a physical pain everytime he looked at her battered face. He loved this girl as he would love his sister, maybe he loved her a bit more than a sister. He could fall in love with this girl so easily but he would never be that stupid. He knew where her heart belonged.

He just hoped and prayed that Jon would treat her the way she deserved to be treated and he knew that she would give Jon a lifetime of love and happiness.


Cheyenne’s eyes fluttered open, she was lying on Richie’s chest like she belonged there. She sat up immediately her eyes flew to where Jon was sitting and then to Richie’s face.

“Damn gal, what have they been feeding you at the hospital? My shoulder is numb!”
He massaged his shoulder and flashed her one of his cute smiles.

“Oh, Rich YOU!” She slapped him lightly on the arm and giggled at him.

“I’m sorry about climbing all over you , but I was sleeping and I didn’t know it was you. But thanx for lending me your chest. Nice rock hard chest by the way” She tapped on his chest just to get her point across.

“We all know that you weren’t thinking of me, you made that quite clear.”

The teasing look she received from Richie made her hair stood on end and when she whipped her head around and stared into two smug looking eyes she felt quite nauseous.

“Oh, God what did I say….what did I do..shiiit Richie tell me!”

“Oh, you didn’t just do something honey, you said something as well.”

Richie leaned forward and whispered into her ear. Her eyes widened and a blush covered her bruised face.

Jon saw her reaction and gave her a lazy grin. Richie caught the look between them and excused himself.

Cheyenne didn’t know what to say and just gaped at Jon, her pulse racing. He walked over to her and sat down, turning to take her face between his hands, forcing her to meet his eyes.

“Dreaming bout me baby? What were you dreaming about? The way my hands felt on your sweet ass or how I feel when I move inside you? Look at me tell me what you were dreaming, honey. I wanna know, I wanna hear it from you…”

He was so close she could smell his sweet breath fanning her face.

“I don’t know what I was dreaming , I…I’m not sure.”

“You are a bad, bad liar Cheyenne. But let me give you something else to dream about.” He took her hand and lay it on his chest, she felt his heartbeat and closed her eyes. She felt his lips touching hers, a sigh escaped his lips and he teased her lips with his tongue begging her to give him access. She opened to him and savoured the feeling of his lips against hers, his tongue mating with hers. A little groan escaped into her mouth and she backed up.

Jon lifted his head but kept her hand on his chest. He saw confusion in her eyes.

Fuck Jon she has just been through hell, and here you are ready to jump her like a horny dog.

“Jon, I’m sorry but I’m not ready to..uumm to”

“Baby I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done this. “ He took her hands in his and planted a kiss in each palm.

Jon left out a sharp breath and manoeuvred himself so Cheyenne wouldn’t be able to see his hard on.

Congratulations Jon you just managed to scare her off even more. You just won first price for the biggest fucking idiot.

Cheyenne felt unsure about how Jon took her lack of enthusiasm. But the thing with Mark is still too fresh in her mind, and when she heard his groan red lights flickered in her brain and she panicked. She wasn’t ready for any lovemaking or intimate touching from any man. That’s why she felt so safe in Richie’s arms. He gave her comfort and that’s what she needed the most.
