Chapter 15

“Emmilia what is going on? Your mother is in a fit and going on about heathen guys in leather pants and whose bus is that?” He looked at his daughter and then at his niece and shook his head as he peered around them both to gawk at the two young men sitting on his veranda being served by his house staff. “Well.. they certainly are strange looking I’ll give you mother that but Emmilia? Gianna? Someone tell me what the heck is going on here?”

“Uncle Danny ? So good to see you , Oh these are our friends and Auntie Regina is being her well you know ? They’re really sweet honest , they want us to go with them for a few days or longer .  “Gia paused giving her uncle a chance to digest what she just said “ Please can we go? I - we really like them ? “ She gazed up at her uncle , her emerald eyes pleading with him

“Gianna your 21 years old, I cant tell you not to run off with a...” he paused, squinted his eyes thru the window and shook his head perplexed. “Is that man wearing pink animal print pants??”

Emmie stifled a snort “Uh, that’s Jon Dad, Jon Bon Jovi.” She paused for effect. “He has an um... unique sense of style.”

Gia joined in the laughter “See he needs me to help him for some fashion tips but “She leaned in a whispered voice to her uncle “He-they’re from Jersey and he’s Italian ‘

Daniel raised an eyebrow and really took a good look at Gia’s face. So that’s what was up. He glanced back out the window. Bon Jovi, wasn’t that a band? A popular one if he wasn’t mistaken. When would they have had the time to make friends with guys like these? He silently thought. Jamaica. It had to be. He looked at his daughter and wondered at her cool reserved expression. Sometimes she was more like her mother than she wanted to admit. “So, I think I know what’s going on with Gia here, She’s obviously been bitten by the love bug.” he teased. “ but who’s the other guy?” his eyes challenged his daughters.

Emmie shuffled her feet and tried to out stare he father but failed. Her eyes dropped to her toes and she mumbled “ That’s Richie.” a bit nervously.

Daniel bit back a smirk ‘Rchie huh , well whats about this Richie that wants my young daughter traipsing around the US? “ he asked already knowing the answer , and knew he couldn’t deny either girl anything within reason . Though if he did , he was in for a long confrontation with his lovely wife.

“Well I....” She paused unsure of how to explain herself. She wasnt about to tell her father: this is Richie we had a hot steamy affair out in Jamaica and now I wanna go running around on his tour bus boinkin his brains out. No that wouldn’t go over well at all. So she simply said, “ I like him, and he likes me and well he wants... we want to .. spend some time together.”

Daniel gazed intentionally at his daughter then shot a gaze out to the young man sitting at the table. “Do you mind if I meet your gentlemen friends first before I  say yes “ There was definitely more goin’ on than either girl would care to divulge but both girls were of age and he really didn’t have to give his consent for either girl to go but it was nice that they still respected him enough to ask. If it had been his wife neither girl would care and go .

Emmie looked at Gia and sighed, “Alright but.... be nice please?” she pleaded knowing full well her father would never be intentionally rude. She only hoped he didn't come off as intimidating as he was rumored to be in the press. Jon and RIchie had both had enough hostility from her family today.

“Now Emmie when am I not to be nice “ He said with a wink , letting the girls walk back outside , with him following right on their heels.

RIchie looked up and swallowed hard , Great this must be the father , he shot a nervous glance to Jon then immediately stood.

Jon groaned inwardly and stood up, the man looked so damn serious. His suit was impeccable his hair styled to perfection. He was a walking fucking GQ fashion plate. He looked down at his own clothes and swore to himself I’m never wearing these pants again.

“Good afternoon Gentleman, I’m Senator Caden, Welcome to my home.” He extended his hand to both men. “And please let me apologize for the welcome you received earlier, I’m afraid my wifes a bit sheltered and she doesn’t mix well with people who are a bit more... adventurous in life than she herself is.”

Richie shook his head, man had a confident grip   “No problem sir, I’m sure we were quite the shock “ He chuckled  Damn if I haven’t been this nervous since first show if front of over 10,000 people.

After shaking both men’s hands he said “Please sit...” he sat with them and poured himself a drink. “So.. Bon Jovi huh? THE Bon Jovi?” He looked at Jon.

Jon cleared his throat and spoke, he hoped confidently. “Yeah, the one and only.” Ok, so the guy knows of us... is that good or bad? Shit.

Daniel smirked “ No need to be nervous , sons , I promise no shotgun wedding from me unless you give me a reason too. “ He gazed at the two men whose faces blanched . “Do I ? “ he arched his eyebrow.

Gia piped in to the rescue “ Uncle Danny! You promised! “  She ran over to stand in front of the two men .

“What?” He looked at his niece innocently, “I’m just jokin’ They know I’m jokin don’t ya guys?” he grinned and patted Richie on the shoulder nodding when he finally laughed a little . “Or am I?” his expression went stern once more and they all went silent again.

He couldn't keep a straight face so long the second time and ended up snorting in laughter “Look relax guys ok? I just wanted to come out here and say hello, apologize and have a look at the guys who are kidnapping my girls from me. I only have two rules. One: No drugs. Ok I can't stop YOU from doing drugs but I get wind of either of my girls doing the stuff I’ll drag them back home by thier ponytails. And two: make em happy. whether your just a bunch of young kids playing the field  for the weekend or whatever I don’t care just make em happy ok? oh, ok, three rules, rule three is dont tell her mother I said ANY of this.”

“Yes, sir , can promise you no drugs for your girls , and yes we hope we can make them happy and three I can definitely promise not to tell Mrs Caden anything “ Richie answered eyes gazing truthfully into Daniel’s .

Once Gia knew they were safe , she backed away a few feet listening to her Uncle . She did really love him , he had been her substitute dad since she lost her parents .  After he finished his speech to the boys , she walked over to him , giving him a big hug “ Thank you Uncle Danny , thank you so much “ kissing him on the cheek.

He smiled and returned her hug “Yeah yeah,, Dont you girls have some packing to do?” he playfully shooed them off.”GO on now hurry before your mother catches wind of this diabolical scheme. Carla! Get my Cognac! I need to loosen these fellows up! They look like they’ve died, gone to hell and been sent back up 3 times over!”

Gia turned to Jon flashing him a smile , before running after Em , to go upstairs and pack leaving the men together have a glass or two or even three of  Cognac

Daniel sat down with the boys  “Relax , honest I won’t hurt you . -- But I do have one more thing to say with the girls not around “ He paused when Carla returned with the Cognac , poured three glasses of the auburn liquid then continued “ Have fun , make them happy but if you hurt them in anyway I can promise you I won’t be so nice “ His voice stern ,picked the glass , downed it , then replaced the glass on the  table “IF its just a casual thing for you , let them know now . MY girls -- well Em hasn’t much experience with boys and Gia plays it off that she has but deep down the girl just wants --to be appreciated “

Jon watched as Richie took a long time sipping his drink and wondered how to answer. The man really wasn’t that bad, not as far as fathers and family go. It had been so long since Jon had dealt with a woman who wasn’t following him on the road that he didn’t know how to react in this situation so he opted for honesty. “To be honest Senator, I’m not sure whats going on in my head, I just know I met Gia during my break and well...Yeah we parted ways thinking it was fun thanks and that was that but.... now I’m not so sure that was the right choice so... Thanks To Richie being smart enough to get Emmies Address... here we are.” He cringed a little knowing the truth sounded a bit harsh but it WAS the truth.

Daniel always appreciated honestly so he returned it as well “So if it was just a ‘fling’ as you put it , why are you here ? I don’t know if you noticed but those girls have more than a fling in there minds “ He poured another round for himself and the boys , picked up the glass , and took another swig. while waiting for their answer.


Jon shot Richie a dark look. Payback's are a bitch! Just sitting there calmly letting Jon take all the heat. Jon had to chuckle a bit as he answered “I don’t know, I guess I’m here to find out..... why I’m here.”

Richie bit back a chuckle , he hadn’t intended for Jon to take all the heat but, when he realized how it would have sounded if he had spoken up , the fact that Em wasn’t exactly legal when they had their tryst , he didn’t want to be picking out buckshot out of his ass.

Daniel glanced at the two  “ Well , thank you for being honest -- oh one more thing , you did use condoms didn’t you ? He asked with an arched eyebrow.

Richie definitely wasn’t gonna answer that one just simply stared into his glass , he had but to admit that would have put that buckshot in his ass.

Jon looked the man dead in the eye and said with just a hint of cockiness “You know anything about the rock n roll life Senator Caden?” When the Senator nodded affirmation Jon continued “then you gotta know, I may be stupidly brave sometimes, but I am NOT playing Russian roulette with the family jewels for nothing! An unplanned kid is the LEAST of your worries when your messin around these days.”

Daniel nodded , whether his wife would ever approve of these boys , he certainly did and though he didn’t want  to see his  girls hurt and prayed they didn’t these two seemed to come from good stock and for that he gave his approval.  “Well then nothin’ left to say then , Care for another round boys , have a feeling you’re gonna be around awhile, you know how long it takes girls to get ready and besides I need to tie one on before facing the wife after you leave “

A round of nervous laughter twine with the clink of glasses as the men settled back to wait.

Chapter 14

Gia plopped down on Em’s bed, irritation written all over her face , How much ranting and raving can one woman do ? “ I swear Em I can’t take this anymore I am so ready to run off for parts unknown  “ She huffed “Care to join me ? I -- we should have exchanged our tickets home to another good vacation spot. “

Emmie sighed and kicked a fluffy stuffed bunny across the floor before dropping hard onto her bed with a groan. “I don’t get it Gia, what’s the big deal? SO I signed up for some college classes? It’s not like I shot the freakin’ sheriff or something, but damn you’d think I did.”

Gia squinted her eyes ,placed her hand over her heart  and preceded to mimic her aunt “ Because Emmilie darlin’ we are Cadens , and  Cadens doesn’t go to -- that type of school . If you insist on going to school . Why not Harvard or something that is a school for the Cadens “

Emmie snickered, “yeah cause its just so easy to get into Harvard.” she said sarcastically. “Really Gia, I don’t see why it matters where I go do you?” She paused but not long enough for Gia to be able to answer. “It’s just an English lit, and a pre-algebra refresher course, it’s not like I need Harvard for THAT. Hell I don’t even know if I want to actually go to collage or not, don’t even know what I would major in if I went, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to get a couple of credits outta the way and test the waters a bit before I made a decision ya know.” She ended in a whine.

“Cuz , community colleges are worse than gum stuck to your favorite Gucci shoes “ Gia giggled “But seriously , she wont be happy til you’re married to the CEO of a major company , popping out heirs “  Gia flung her legs over the bed and sat up . “This is why I want to leave , I’ll never live up to what I should be , thats not me “

“yeah well you don’t have to, not really. You came into your trust fund a few months ago Gia, honestly I thought you’d be long gone once you did.”

Gia traipsed over to Em , turned her to face her . “Cuz , we’re family and I don’t wanna leave you behind. You been like a sister to me , only one that has besides Uncle Daniel to accept me for me . I can’t leave that behind “

Emmie had to smile,”Yeah I know, I know” She sighed. “Well Daddy will be home any minute now, I’ll just talk to him. He’s the one who said I should do things, find myself so he will tell her to lay off!”

“What you wanna do til he does? I know one thing avoid her as much as  we can “ Gia laughed then sighed “Wish we were stll  on the island , laying out , you getting hit by the volleyball “ a devilish twinkle flashed in her eyes.

Emmie chuckled then stood up and walked to the window, moving her curtain aside she peered out. “ Yeah, I’m glad daddy suggested that ya know. That whole trip was his doing. I wonder if we spoke to him about it if he’d set something else up for us to.......” her words trailed off and she stared out the window with a look of confusion on her face. “I really......oh shit...” She turned on her heel and fast as a flash took off out the door and down the stairs leaving Gia standing there open mouthed.

Gia watched her cousin dash out of the room, a look of bewilderment crossed her face when it sunk in that Em cursed.  She walked over to the window , her eyes widened “Well fuck me ! “‘Gia exclaimed , and quickly followed after her cousin .

Richie peered through the front window of the bus “Well hell, Em  said they were wealthy , maybe she really is a princess “ He joked while they waited for someone to answer the buzz at the gate.

Jon peeked over his shoulder, “I thought you said, she said her father was a Senator, this place looks like fucking fort knox, sure she didn’t say the president??”

“That’s what she said , Senator Caden , guess they get the protection as the president” Richie smirked.

Emmie was nearly squealing with delight as she blew thru the kitchen “Open the gate, open it!” She ordered one of the house staff as her Mother stood looking curiously at the invaders at the gate. “It’s ok mom, I know them!” she said excitedly as she traipsed thru the hallway into the huge foyer and out the front door.

“Emmilia is this the reason for your flippancy  and defiance lately?” Regina’s eyes widened when the huge silver coach halted at the far end of the horseshoe drive way, the door opened and two very strange and unsavory looking  fellows stepped onto the concrete. One wore a bent up old black stetson he must have picked up off a b-movie western set, and the other. Her face puzzled even more, Was that MAN wearing  PINK animal print pants? She huffed as Emmie ignored her. “ I told your father we shouldn’t have sent you girls alone to that -- beach. I just knew you’d get mixed up with people we try to protect you from I....“ Em’s mother paused trying catch her breath,

“Emmilia don’t you dare let those hooligans in here . You hear me young lady !! “

Gia smirked and seized the opportunity to seize the opportunity to send her aunt into a bad case of the vapors “OH Auntie Regina, oh yes better stand back they been known to bite and I believe they maybe rabid “  she said in all serious she could muster .

Regina stared at her niece, a wave of fear flew over her face and she peeked timidly from behind the safety of the screen door as her daughter practically launched herself at the large, tall long haired..... cowboy?

Emmie  threw herself into Richie's arms and hugged him tightly. “Richie!!! You came! You really did! I mean I know you said you would but I didn’t really think you would but you did!” she rambled happily.

Richie instinctively wrapped his arms around her , “Didn’t I tell you that I would darlin’ “he answered with a smile while dropping a kiss on her lips.

Gia nudged her aunt  out of the way to join the circus , practically launching herself on the one who her aunt glared at with disgust.  Her arms slipping around his neck , breathing in his scent. “Well Jersey-boy you are full of surprises aren’t you “ not caring her aunt was near to the point of collapse , she kissed him.

Jon wasn’t sure what kind of reception he was going to receive from Gia. when they parted ways in Jamaica, it was kind of unspoken that the fling was over, good times had and that was that. He was pleasantly surprised and relieved when she slipped her arms around him and kissed him ardently. He pulled her flush against him, fully aware of his surroundings and the stern and stately blonde woman peeking out the door of the mansion. He knew she must be Emmie’s mother, Gia’s aunt. Remembering Gia telling him how much she seemed to detest any all things ethnic he broke the kiss and grinned down at her, “Well it’s good to see you too Gianna Ricci.” he said loudly enough for the scandalized woman to hear. he winked at Gia then kissed her again for good measure.

Regina’s face blanched white over the scandalous name spoken , she worked hard to keep that a secret . Stepping outside “You two are not welcome here , please leave or I will call security “ She huffed but not brave enough to step near these beasts   “Emmilia and Gia get in this house this very instant before I call Daniel

Emmie stopped cold. She’d been chatting excitedly, hugging Richie and dragging him towards the house. So happy to see him, wanting to show him her home and everything. She sighed, trying to keep her irritation in check. “Mother, these are my friends and I’d appreciate it if you showed a little respect please. Daddy will be home any minute, and I’m glad cause I’d like him to meet them. Once he has, if he still feels they should leave then so be it, after all it is his house but for now, would you please allow me to show them a little hospitality, they’ve traveled quite a long way.” she said in soothing tone.

Richie bit back a smirk, standing there silently as Em put her mother in her place in a very proper manner, so unlike the girl he had spent 7 wonderful days together . When she had spoken of her mother , he thought maybe she had been exaggerating but from what he just witnessed she wasn’t wrong by a long shot . He had met snooty people before but Regina Caden had to take the cake.

Regina huffed ‘ IF you let them in the house , they don’t touch anything  Roger , Roger where are you please follow them to make sure they don’t take anything either “ and then she turned on her heel back into the house “ Wait til your father gets home , Emmilia “ She called back as her voice grew lower and lower  til no one could hear her.

“Can’t wait” Emmie mumbled sarcastically to her mothers back before shooting her famous princess glare at Roger who knew when to back off. She watched as the man nodded to her then made himself scarce. Emmie cleared her throat then spoke again. “Well, now that the shows over, how would you boys like a nice cold drink?” She smiled at Gia hoping to ease the anger she saw bubbling up in her cousin.

Gia pinched her eyes shut willing her mouth to remain shut while Em handled Aunt Regina , if she hadn’t jumped in and spoke first , her temper would have exploded to unprecedented portions.  Once she knew her aunt had left , she opened her eyes , returned a  grateful gaze to Em . Em knew once Gia’s temper was unleashed everyone better duck for  cover “ I swear Em I am so close in telling her to go screw herself.  How could my mother and her have been sisters I will never know “

Emmie shrugged and led the small group thru the front door, through the foyer, past the kitchen and out the back veranda. Picking a shady spot near the pool she motioned everyone to sit down then politely asked one of the housestaff if she could please bring them some iced tea and a nice chilled bottle of Cabernet sauvignon, She made sure to add “Oh not daddy’s special ones, he’d kill me, but make sure it’s a good year Clara please?” As the woman ran off to do her bidding she looked at Jon, Richie and Gia and said “ I really am sorry for how she spoke to you, she knows better. Daddy will not be happy with her."

Richie gave her a reassuring smile “It’s okay darlin’ , We’re used it really . We get oh here comes the drug sex crazed rockstars again everytime we check into a hotel “ he winked , reaching for her hand and giving it a squeeze.

Gia remained silent , her aunt’s insolence grated on her last nerve.  She almost couldn’t bare to look at Jon for the embarrassment she felt. “Yea well its still no excuse , Uncle Daniel will burst a gasket knowing how rude she had been “

Carla returned with glasses for which she placed in front of the girls and the two gentleman  , “Wine or Tea . Miss Gianna ? and smiled , Never could understand why Mrs Caden treated her niece with such disdain .

Gia smiled ‘Wine please Carla I think I could use some right now “

Clara nodded and poured a glass for her “Sir?” she asked Jon.

Jon looked up. He had to admit he was a bit overwhelmed by this place. It was truly astounding, grand even. And servants? He didn’ t think anyone really had servants anymore but as he let his gaze travel over the place he saw many many people doing many different things and he knew, he’d stepped into a whole new world. “ Uh yeah wines good thanks.” He felt a bit odd sitting there in his tight spandex and converse shoes, bandana holding his unbrushed hair out of his face and all around him was beauty and elegance. No wonder the woman thought we were Satan incarnate he thought.  He watched as Emmie poured herself a glass of ice tea and Richie took wine of course. He glanced at Gia whose face was still pink. whether from anger or embarrassment he wasn’t sure but she’d finished her first glass of wine already and asked for another. “Hey babe... take it easy will ya? I didn’t show up just to get ya drunk and take advantage of ya..” he paused “ although the taking advantage part wouldn't be quite so bad so long as your sober.” he flashed her his winning  grin.

His silver coated voice floated over her like a warm summer wind , quickly dashing her anger and she smiled “ I seem to remember didn’t take much for you to take advantage of me “ She winked  “So now that you met the wicked witch of California , what brings you two this way ? “ Gia gazed into those blue eyes damn if she hadn’t missed the effect they had on her . The naughtiness she saw hidden behind them , brought a twinge of excitement that had been lacking the last few weeks . .She reached over placing her hand on his thigh, a bit brazen yea but hell right at this moment she didn’t care , not when she hadn’t expected to see him again.  

“Well ya know we were comin’ thru the area and well, we were feelin a little lonely so...”

She interrupted him sharply  “And another buddy I got a bone to pick with you , why didn’t you tell me who you were? “

“I.....” he stopped mid sentence. His mouth moved trying to form words but he had none. None at all. Why hadn’t he told her?  Cause it was just a vacation fling? Cause it didn’t seem to matter? Cause he wanted to forget the cynical workaholic he was when he was on the road? More like all of the above, but how did he explain that to her. “Well I guess... I guess cause I was just having too good a time just being Jon...” he shrugged and hoped those simple words made sense to her. Hell they didn’t even make sense to him but he had nothing else to explain his omission.

Gia listened intently to his explanation as she flashed him a sympathetic smile,  she could definitely relate to that , all her life she just wanted to be Gianna Ricci , while her aunt wanted her to be anything but . “I’m glad you were just Jon , “ then mentally rolled her eyes I’m glad you were just Jon , God Gia what the fuck is that -- lame is what that was 



He smiled back at her and covered her hand with his, rubbing it softly. So she understood what he meant, good. He wondered when his life had gotten so damn complicated. He was living his dream! He’d worked hard for this but sometimes, when he was alone at night, he wondered if he’d done the right things, made the right choices. He leaned over and dropped a kiss on her cheek. At least this is one choice I righted he thought “So, uh, yeah, ya know we were coming through here, on our way to Arizona actually and had today and tomorrow off and thought, I wonder if those two pretty little California girls would like to come hang out with us crazy fuckers for awhile.”

Gia’s eyes lit up “Yes, we can we leave ‘ then paused to restrain her excitement not just to spend some more time with her dream man well not hers but  close enough but anything to get away from Aunt Regina , she would gladly go  “I mean sure we would love too “

RIchie chuckled “ A bit anxious are we ? “ A twinkle flashed in his eyes  “We are not sure what you might think of the ‘other ‘ us , because to be honest we are a bit more-- “ He winced for a moment before finishing how was he to explain the groupies , the flirting , and all that entailed being a rockstar “ wild “

“Is that why you said I wouldn’t like it?” She frowned a bit. She wondered what had made him change his mind. She’d wanted to go two months ago before she’d even come home but he’d said no. Now he wanted her to come along and see the other side of him? After not a single phone call or anything for so long... strange.

RIchie squirmed a bit , she had him there  Why hadn’t he wanted her  there ? Did he think she was too young to handle what the road dished out ? No , he just wanted to go back to the fun. Yea that worked out so well, the lil lady wormed his way into his mind and wouldn’t let loose. “Yes I did darlin’ just didn’t think you would understand if maybe we flirted a lot with our crowd “ She shot him a  puzzled look  “Ok flirt with the female fans , its our job but a lot of girls don’t understand and they get jealous and angry “

Emmie looked at Gia who was listening to Richie's explanation as well ,and she wondered what was running through her mind. Gia’ had told Emmie that Richie wasn’t gonna come see her, it had just been a simple vacation affair and she should just remember it with a smile. But Emmie had argued, he’d said he would come and he did, sure it took him awhile but he came. But,  Gia was right about one thing. She’d said Richie probably didn’t want her to come along because of all the girls.

Emmie nodded at Richie, “ I guess that makes sense but...” She stopped and shrugged “Well, I don’t care what you have to do on stage i just wanna come along and see what its all about. What your all about” She said with more bravery than she felt. It did sound like fun, but it also sounded like a lot more chaos than her sheltered existence had yet experienced but damn it she’d known there’d been more to their time together than just some crazy tryst and him showing up at her doorstep unannounced proved it! She’d be damned if she let him get away this time! her mind set and full of determination she glanced sideways at him, gave him her sweetest smile and said “ yeah I’ll come with you.”

Richie smiled “ Good how long will you need to get ready ? “ He asked , with more excitement than he probably should have shown ,causing Jon to slid him an amused look.

GIa piped up “Not long at all I can assure you of that , Right Em ? “ She was already standing , while tugging on Em’s arm -- Good God Gia get a grip on yourself girl , she mentally scolded herself.

“RIght not long at all” Emmie agreed,  “ You guys can just relax here and we’ll go throw some things together... Clara, will you see to anything they need while Gia and I go pack some things please? Thanks.”

She stood and kissed Richies cheek then taking Gia’s arm in hers headed indoors. Both girls excited beyond belief did not pay attention to anything what so ever and crashed unceremoniously into a solid wall of....” Daddy...oops!” She squeaked as he peered down at her in concern and amusement.

Chapter 13

Jon sat in the hotel room and looked first at the clock then at Richie. 11:00 on a night off and here they both were sitting across from each other in silence, sipping drinks and barely speaking while there other 3 brothers partied the night away a few rooms over. Funny how things changed, when did they change anyway? Hell, just last week he’d still been livin the high life drinkin too much and fucking too much and pretty much being his egotistical man-whore self then for the last 4 nights....nothing. He had no desire for any of it beyond the stage he just wanted to disappear.

RIchie glanced up at his best friend , as he poured another round for himself and Jon,  He thought Em was special but he didn’t know how much til he tried to go back to his King of Swing ways . True he felt bad leaving things the way he left them with her , but she was young and from her description of her family , they wouldn’t take to kindly to a long-haired rockstar. But the more he thought about her the more he wanted to say Fuck it ! I wanna go see her .  “Who would have thunk it bro ? Us sitting here on a Friday night , no babes just you and me drinking ourselves to oblivion”

“Yeah man, crazy ain’t it.” He shook his head and sighed then took a long gulp of his drink.

“Let me guess , a Raven-haired beauty you left behind in Jamaica man “ Richie tried to mimic his best Jamaican accent.

Jon nodded “I can’t quit thinkin about her.” he set his glass aside.” You know she had no clue who I was, not at all, and I never told her, not about all this, I mean i did tell her I just played it all down ya know. That whole week I was just me again and... As much as I love what I do I....” his words trailed off, he shook his head muttered a curse and picked his glass back up tossing the rest of the liquid down his throat.

Richie sighed “I know man, we finally hit it big , then find out all this isn’t like we thought it be then we meet two girls that actually don’t know or don’t care and we let them go? What the fuck is wrong with us . “ He reached for the bottle pouring yet another round “ I just figured her family wouldn’t want someone like me showing up at her doorstep “

Jon had to laugh “that never stopped you before man, seriously.”

“Not normally , but this girl was different , she was-- is special . Like a princess “ Richie admitted

Jon raised an eyebrow. Richie was known to fall in and out of love quite often, pun totally intended but something in his voice made Jon really take notice. “Man, you’re in love more often than a priest is in church, you sure it ain't just a territorial thing I mean you did say she’d never... ya know”

Richie shrugged his shoulders “ Maybe , I just know she’s different . High Class you know old money the kind the snub their noses at us if we even walked on the same street as them. “ He let the amber liquid slid down his throat a slow burn settled in this throat. “ And before you say normally I wouldn’t give a shit -- but she’s different bro “

Jons expression darkened a bit “yeah I know, and way, WAY out of our league man.”

“But you said Gia wasn’t like that so maybe you got a chance ? “ Richie urged “ You said she’s a Jerseygirl and a proud one at that”

“She was a Jersey girl when she was like, five man,” Jon sighed. “Now she’s just... I don’t know it’s like she’s trying so hard to please those.. those people..I” he shrugged “Ok I don’t know for sure.” He managed to look a little sheepish, “we didn’t talk all that in depth actually but I kinda read between the lines ya know, she just wants to be accepted and trust me dude, with me, she would not be accepted... now, I ain’t saying I’m in love any of that happy horseshit but fuck it all to hell I DO miss her and it’s driving me fucking nuts!” He almost shouted his last words. God that woman had his head on the trail to fuckdom!

Richie held back a retort , he wanted to say if it wasn’t some kind version of love he would eat a snake but being in the same boat as Jon was at the moment , he held his tongue.  “I was thinking if we sent them anonymous letter ,with passes would they come ? “ He asked shooting a questioning glance to Jon “ I think they might , I sure do miss that lil lady too “

Jon shook his head “yeah Rich, cause sending passes anonymously with big words stating ALL ACCESS BON JOVI is so damn anonymous.” He had to laugh at Richie’s puzzled expression. Sometime he wondered how his brother remembered to breathe! “I was thinking more along the lines of pullin the damn bus right up to the estate gates and saying hey babe! how ya been!”

Richie’s chuckle echoed the room  “Dumb-fuck if we address it to them not like they are gonna parade the laminate in front of family, I meant anonymous by so their family couldn’t know ? I see you going up to the door and swooping her away “ He paused as if in thought “ That might not be a damned bad idea”


Jon smirked “I know, right?” Then he grinned, “Might be kinda fun too” The wheels in his head started turning as he poured another in a long line of stiff drinks for Richie and himself then he grabbed up the next months schedule and beckoned Richie to look it over with him. “You got that address she gave you?” He smiled with satisfaction when Richie fished the wrinkled square of paper out of his wallet and handed it over.

Hours later, the two men said their goodnight, their drunken midnight plan scribbled on scraps of paper to be found by pounding heads and crusty eyes in the morning.

Chapter 12

Emmie gripped the arm rests tightly as the plane taxied down the runway lifting off with a shudder. She hated flying, always had, probably always would. She sighed sadly yet contently if that was possible. She was sad to have the vacation end but she’d had the most wonderful time. She glanced at Gia who sat stone-faced staring straight ahead. she hadn’t said more than a few scant words since they’d left Jon and Richie at the boarding gate.

Richie, what a wonderful man he was! She never thought she’d meet someone as exciting, kind and handsome as him. Since the very first night she’d given herself to him, they’d been inseparable.  Her days had been filled with exciting new things, anything and everything the island had to offer in the way of entertainment they had tried. And the nights, oh the nights were the best. He’d shown her so much. He’d been so gentle, so passionate! She wasn’t the same naive little girl who’d arrived here 7 days earlier that was for sure! She felt a bit guilty at abandoning Gia like that on what was supposed to their girls vacation but...she smiled, she honestly didn’t think Gia minded at all, she’d spent all her time with Jon and seemed very happy to do so.

Gia’s thoughts were filled with confusion , happiness , sadness and a mixture of something she never thought she would fill -- Was it just a crush or was she feeling much more -- Na that’s just not possible its completely insane to even think it could be love. Could it ? The week she spent with Jon was the happiest week of her life and now it was over,  Forget him , Gia hell he probably already has forgotten you . 

She glanced over at Em , flashing her a forced smile . “Back to reality huh? “  she managed to squeak out quietly .  Gia watched her cousin , there was something in her eyes which almost matched hers.  Richie had managed to do what countless other boys, men haven’t been able to find his way into Em’s heart.  She only hoped Em was stronger  than she was in trying to forget this fairytale romance on the beach .

“Yeah” Emmie said quietly. She gazed out the window at the clouds before speaking again. “He said he’d come see me.”

Gia flinged up an eyebrow “ Really , I’m happy for you Em, Rich seems like a great guy. Though “she paused a giggle escaped her “I can’t wait to see your mom’s face when he does “  Jon never saiid- Stop Gia ! If he doesn’t oh the fuck well , be happy for Em .Silently shaking away her troubled thoughts.

Emmie laughed a bit too loudly cause some of the other passengers to stare at her strangely. She covered her mouth to stifle herself then said “Yeah, I can’t wait! It should at least be entertaining.” She grinned like a fool as she imagined her mother’s reaction to a tall hulking long haired rocker showing up at her door with flowers for her precious little princess.

Gia covered her snicker with the back of her hand “You’re gonna send your mama into a bad state of vapors . Whatever happened to my princess , should have never sent her there Daniel its your fault “  She mimicked in her best “Aunt Regina”

Emmie snorted, “God you sound just like her Gia.” She pause then sighed. “I swear Gia I would have gone with him but he said I couldn’t”

“Why? If he liked you so much , why couldn’t you go with him “ Gia asked a bit warely..

Emmie frowned. “I don’t know.” She hadn’t given it much thought at the time, they were having so much fun. He’d said he was gonna miss her when he went back on the road. She’d said well I could just come with you ya know. And it was true, she could have gone anywhere she wanted. She had nothing tying her home, no school, no job,only her family and it wasn’t like she was gonna move to New Jersey or anything but travel around a bit with him and his band, yeah she could do that.

“What did he say exactly?” Gia asked with concern mixed with a tinge of anger , it was ok to have a fling but to lead her on was another thing altogether .Why was it ok for him to come see her but she couldn’t go see him? Was he married ? So help him if he was .  Gia was known to party have fun but a married man wasn’t a thing even she would do.

Emmie shrugged, “He said he gets really busy when he works and I wouldn’t like it much cause even though it’s all five of them it’s him and Jon who have to like, ya know do all the interviews and the press and be seen and it’s just go go go” she shrugged again “Actually I think it would have been kinda exciting but, whatever.”

Gia shot her a puzzled look “All that for a struggling musician ?? , “ She thought Jon and Richie just came from money .

Emmie blinked in confusion, “Struggling? Gia...” she laughed “ They work hard for what they’ve got even now that they’re famous but those boys aren’t really struggling for money. What the hell did you and Jon do all week? Screw like rabbits? No talking?”

Why didn’t he tell me ? Why keep it a secret , not like I would go after him for his money ?  “No we didn’t just screw , but he just said he was a musician who dabbled in this and that so I just figured his family had money ? “ Gia replied confusedly . “I don’t get why he wouldn’t tell me the truth or at least the rest of it , not like I wanted him for his money. “

“Well hell Gia, maybe he thought he didn’t have to I mean his last name alone should have given it away, even if you live under a rock I mean...he did tell you his last name didn’t he?” She paused and was puzzled by Gia’s silence. “Bon Jovi?”

“Well I didn’t think I saw him sign his name at dinner but he signed it John Bongiovi. So I didn’t put two and two together but not he didn’t really tell me his last name “ A blush crept up on her face with that confession.

Emmie tried not to laugh but failed “So you DID screw like rabbits the whole time” she teased.

Gia tried to hide the blush that was ever so present on her olive skin though to no avail she failed and  it only caused Em to laugh even harder “ I-- well we did do other things , deep sea fishing , walks on the beach that led -- ok you’re right basically we fucked like bunny rabbits “  She knew how it sounded and for some reason for the first  time it bothered to her to know that’ s  all it was 7 days of sex. But he just was so - so different . Oh well it was done , a nice fling never to see him again and the that very thought  caused sadness to creep into her heart again.

Emmie watched Gia’s face play thru the emotions and wondered why she would be so sad. Ok, yeah, she herself was a bit sad going home cause already she missed Richie, his playful teasing, his outright silliness, his amazing love making.... she shook her head “Don’t be sad Gia, it was a great time.”

Gia let out a deep sigh and with a small smile replied “ Yea it was , just hated to see the fun end is all “ Why was she so sad?  Because you’ll never see him again  that’s why you fool, Shaking away the sadness or making an attempt to  “But you know us we can find  trouble back home “ She winked at Em.


Emmie laughed “yeah I guess we can.”

Chapter 11

Gia waited for Jon to open the door of his room , she really should have checked in with Em by now but when she had arrived at her room this morning to retrieve more clothing and change for her outing with Jon, Emmie was nowhere to be found. Gia should have been concerned. What kind of person is she to totally forget her cousin a girl that has been more like a sister--for what a guy? She never done that before . What is it about this guy that makes her forget everything but him?

Once Jon opened the door, she followed him in trying to shake away the guilty thoughts that now plagued her.  “You know maybe I should check in with Em ? “ Gia said a tinge of worry coated her voice .

“The blond?” Jon chuckled. “Oh I wouldn’t worry bout her, I’m sure she’s fine, probably took off with Rich somewhere. Most likely his room, ladies tend to do that with him.” He grinned

“You don’t understand Em isn’t like that “ Gia answered plopping down on the couch.  “She is ok with your friend right? If that’s where she is ? “

“Of course she is, here” he picked up the phone and dialed a short number then handed it to her. “I'm almost positive that’s where she is cause he went over to your hotel last night to see her. Since she wasn’t there this morning when we stopped in to get your things, well...” He then plopped himself on the couch much as she had a moment ago and stretching his legs out, laid his fuzzy-haired head in her lap.

Gia took the phone , while waiting for someone to answer , her hands instinctively went to his hair , intertwining her fingers through the long tresses.

A quiet manly whispered “‘Hello” came thru the wire.

“Richie? Um this is Gia , Em’s cousin “ She paused “ I was just seeing if she was with you, hadn’t seen her since I left last night and didn’t see her this mornin’ when I stopped in to change . Is she ok? “

“Yeah, yeah! She’s fine.” he spoke softly into the phone. “She’s right here, just asleep. She’s perfectly fine I promise.”

Gia let out a deep sigh of relief , “Thank you I should have checked in ear--  wait did you say she’s asleep this early? Are you sure she’s feeling okay? “ Gia asked her eyebrow creased with worry .

Gia heard Richies deep throaty chuckle, “She’s feeling wonderful, at least that’s what she told me a little bit ago. Don’t you worry little lady I got your cousin all taken care of” His last few words were said with a  drawl of sexiness.

Her eyes widened as she took in the tone of his voice , glancing down at Jon who had a huge smirk on his face , she mouthed “Holy hell, she didn’t ? Did she ? “  then returned her attention to the phone “Well okay then , sorry for the interruption“ A naughty grin spread across her face. “Tell her I'll talk to her soon then. “ She chuckled .

As he watched her hang up the phone his grin grew “Told ya so.”

“You just lovin’ being right don't you?  “ Gia leaned closer , only a breath hair’s away from those sensuous lips .

Jon raised up on his elbows and stole a quick kiss from her lips “Absolutely!”

“Men ! “ Gia hmphed good naturedly, lifting his head up , then stood to face him , her body tingled with a mixture of desire and excitement . This  guy surely could make her go from zero to 60 in mere seconds .  “I haven’t thanked you yet for a wonderful day today “ Her hands playfully tugging at the bottom of her tank .

Jon sat up. “Thank me eh?” he leaned back against the couch cushions and watched as her tank slipped up revealing smooth tan skin.

‘Yea thank you “ Gia purred, dropping on her knees in front of him , parting his legs so she could slid between , then teasingly ran her hand over his jean shorts .

He drew in a sharp breath. “Oh, I think I just might like this babe.” his hand reached out to stroke her cheek and twirl a lock of hair in his fingers.

Gia grinned devilishly as her hands unbuttoned his shorts, urging him to lift his hips so she could lower the shorts down . Then gently grasped him , running her hands slowly as if inspecting the silky soft hardness, before leaning forward , licking , teasing the head, she gazed up grinning as his baby blues darkened .

He moaned and felt his member twitch in her hand, “God, do that again.”

Gia flashed him a wicked smile “ What this ? “ she twirled her tongue across the head , a pearl of salty liquid appeared , the mixture of musky and salty flavor touched her tongue, causing her core to twitch with excitement,  Blow Jobs usually wasn’t her thing but , for some reason this man had her doin’ things she would never in her wildest dreams she would do.

Jon felt his hips buck gently at her teasing. He resisted the urge to grasp her head and force her mouth onto him. He closed his eyes and imagined the sweet heaven that would be.

Gia lowered slowly down inching his hardness into her mouth , then lifting back up , her eyes remained fixed with his , gliding down once again in a nice slow torturous pace.

He moaned and slipped his fingers into her hair guiding her gently as he felt his body tighten.

Gia purred in satisfaction from his reaction to her ministrations , then a naughty thought passed her mind, she abruptly ceased , standing up removing her shorts  ‘Care to touch me while take care of you ? “She replied sensuously . Her core dripping wet from the just the thought .

“Actually I think I’d rather have you here...” He pulled her arm gently and opened her legs to straddle him. Her skilled mouth had him damn near ready to burst when she’d stopped so suddenly, he felt like if he didn’t sink himself into her right then he was going to die. Gripping her hips he slid her tight wetness onto him and bucked up filling her completely.

Gia gasped , her core twitched with a pending orgasm threatening to send her to cosmic heights yet again, once catching her breath , she slid down, pressing her breasts against the soft hair nestled on his chest while rotating her hips,  Her lips found his in a hard passionate mind-blowing kiss.

The warmth of her walls pulsed around him, clenched him as he drove up into her. His fingers bit into the soft flesh of her thighs as he moved her up and down. Her silky hair tickled his skin as she devoured him with kisses it’s scent filling his head. He felt himself slipping, he was slipping fast over the edge. Her earlier teasing has only made him hungrier for the end result. With purpose he drove upward harder and faster panting her name again and again, begging her to join him in the bliss. His final groan of pleasure was deep and full as he call out, “Come with me Gia.”

That’s all it took for her to quickly join him in heaven, her legs shook  and her core throbbed with such sensitivity of the orgasm overtaking her, breathing heavily into his mouth , his name came out in gasps ,  “Oh fuck! “ crying out as she floated right along with him, yes this guy was her addiction that she wasn’t sure she ever wanted to cure.   She grasped tightly against the back of the couch as she road out the long lasting bliss .

After a long moment Jon managed to speak a simple “Damn baby.” as his hands glided gentle over the flesh he’d minutes before pinched tightly in desperate ecstasy.

Gia raised her head, still breathing hard  “No words , I have no words to describe that “ her hands sliding to his face ,cupping it  damn those eyes are hypnotizing  “ Have to say , hitting Em with the volleyball was the best thing to happen to us in a long long time “

Jon chuckled and gave her ass a light slap. “Yeah, I’m gonna have to thank Rich for the crappy shot” he grinned.

Gia squealed from the sting of his hand hitting her bare backside “  Oh kinky are we? learning all sorts of things about you Jersey boy “ she winked a wicked expression fell over her face.

“You ain’t seen nothing yet babe.” his eyes twinkled with promise as he stood with her legs wrapped around him and crossed to the bedroom. She wanted kink, he had a few things to show her. Thank you Richie, thanks for being such a shitty volleyball player, I owe ya one bro he thought as he closed the door behind them.

Chapter 10

Emmie remained nervously silent during the ride back. She was lost in her own thoughts. Had she really said she wanted to go back to his place? She wasn’t stupid she knew full well what ‘your place or mine’ meant. Yes she’d said it. She couldn't help herself. Everything about him was so....different, so intriguing so...sexy. She shook her head a bit as he led her through the lobby of his hotel and into the elevator. She found him sexy, she wanted him and that scared her. She didn’t even know why. But it did.

Richie stepped off the elevator, Emmie’s hand intertwined with his  They walked in a comfortable silence to his room, reaching in his pocket he withdrew his key , slid it in the lock and turned the key .

Opening the door, he stood aside allowing her to walk in first  “Welcome to my abode “ Richie grinned as he followed her  then shut the door “ Care for a drink ? “

Emmie nodded as she looked around. She didn’t know what to expect. Would his place be decked out with fancy things since he had money? Would it be full of drinks, drugs and other things she’d heard tales of where rockstars were concerned? It was none of those things. Was it nice? yes, actually beyond nice: elegant even. She was surprised at how immaculate it was. His suitcases sat in a corner, his clothing was hung neatly in the closet. In the other corner was a guitar case leaning against the wall, an amber colored acoustic guitar leaned against the case, the wood finish shined like glass. On the dresser lay several silver chains and rings. Even his shoes, many many pairs of them, were lined neatly against the wall. She chuckled a bit at how much like herself his room set up was. She raised an eyebrow at him quizzically as she took the glass of amber liquid he offered her, she sniffed it make a face and swirled it the glass, but didn’t take a sip quite yet. “you a neat freak?” she asked softly.


A deep hearty chuckle escaped Richie’s lips as he replied "Shocking  to see a rockstar that's neat. Guess I hung around Jon too long . “  He reached for her hand leading her to the couch.  He was taught to be a gentleman , so he let her sit down first before joining her .

A silence befell them before he spoke again “ It’s ok if you changed you’re mind. We can just talk and hang out if you want “ .

Richie watched as array of emotions play out over Em’s face. Last thing he wanted to do was make her feel like she had to do this now that they were here .

Emmie watched him intently. Had he changed his mind about her? Was that why he was giving her a way out? She really wished she knew more about how men worked. More than what she’d heard from her mother and Gia cause so far Richie didn’t act anything like any of the stories either woman had told her about men and it was really confusing her. She thought for a moment wondering what to say and decided to stall for time by sipping the drink he’d given her. She took one deep swallow and mere seconds later was sputtering, her face flushed and eyes wide. with a gasp and cough she frown “What the.. the .. hell is this stuff????”

Richie smirked “Whiskey darlin’. If you rather have some wine I can order some up ? “ He reached for her glass but she had it downed in another 2 seconds , “Whoa there darlin’  This stuff has a  bit of kick to it “ He dialed room service and ordered a bottle of wine.

A few moments later he rejoined Em. “I promise sweetheart , no need to be scared I won’t hurt you “ His arm slid around her shoulders to try and make her feel at ease .

She leaned across him to set her glass on the side table, “I’m sorry.” she said when she sat back up. She laid her hand on his thigh gently, timidly. “I don’t mean to be so nervous but I...” How did she explain that her nervousness came more from doubts about her own lack of experience than worries about the things he might do to her. She’d heard enough from Gia to know, she wanted him to do alot of those things to her.”I mean... what I’m tryin to say is I haven’t...” She groaned and her face turned beat red with embarrassment.

He grasped her face gently and with a smile replied softly “ It’s ok darlin’ we can go as slow as you want. You set the pace “ He leaned in closer and pressed his lips against hers .

She whimpered just slightly at the touch of his lips.  She closed her eyes and leaned into him slipping her hands around his neck and into his silky hair. She loved the way his mouth tasted, a hint of smoke, a bit of Bourbon and a full dose of man. Just the way he kissed her made her forget all reason. She had visions of ripping his clothes off him and climbing onto his naked body. She moaned and her eyes flew open in shock. Since when did her mind reside in the gutter?

Richie pulled back and shot her a look of concern “ Darlin’ you ok ? “ his hands had slid down her back inching their way down  to her nice firm backside.Did I push to fast ? God she tastes so good, Its gonna kill me if I have to stop .He thought wincing at the possibility of blue balls tonight

She nodded and laughed shyly “yeah, I’m fine just...” She pulled back to look at him and brushed a stray lock of hair from his eyes. “I just seem to be having some.... not so innocent mental visions lately.” She reached up and traced his lips with her fingertip.

“What kinda visions lately ? “ Richie asked his eyes twinkling with naughtiness . He pulled her closer then tilted her neck as he placed sweet kisses along her neck .

She gave a nervous throaty chuckle “Well this is close, “ her heart fluttered wildly as he settled her across his legs, straddled. She shivered as his lips tickled her skin and sighed. “Of course you had less..... clothing on and so did I.”

RIchie arched an eyebrow “ Oh really , I think I like your visions of yours “ his hand slowly slipped underneath her tank inching up to her bra then moving it aside to gently flick the pink hardening nipple.

She watched in fascination as his hand disappeared beneath her shirt. She gasped in pleasure when his finger found her nipple. She felt it pucker and sighed then licked her lips. she couldn’t hold herself back anymore, she didn’t care anymore if she did something wrong, she couldn’t just sit here and take it, she had to touch him. She leaned in and kissed him her hands slid over his shoulders and over the soft fabric of his shirt. she felt the heat of him through it.

He growled her touch set his blood boiling but he had to take it slow.“That’s it baby. that feels so good “  he murmured as his hand slid back from her shirt then hefted it from her , eyes glazed over as they fell on her perfect perky breasts hidden behind a lacy bra.

Following his lead she grasped the bottom of his shirt and tugged it over his head. When they’d first met, he’d been shirtless on the beach, sun-kissed and glistening but at the time she’d not really appreciated how finely chiseled his physique really was. Her eyes feasted on the bare expanse of his chest then she dipped her head slowly to drop kisses there.

His growl became more prevalent and with clinched eyes Slow it down Sambora! but she was making it so damned hard, his hands reached around her , and with a quick flick removed her bra from her , then dipped down lathering the perky diamond hard nipple.

His mouth on her breast was hotter than anything she’d felt before, her head fell back and she gave herself up to him. Whatever it was she’d been thinking of doing next was forgotten, all she could think of was the sensations coursing through her.  She heard soft gasps and little moans and wondered vaguely if they really could be coming from her lips.

He wrapped his arms around her tightly stood up and carried her to his bedroom “I think in here will be a bit more comfortable darlin’ “  he growled in her ear , then gently laid her on the bed while he crawled up beside her. His attention immediately going back to her breasts while his hand slid down her side then to her shorts .

She felt the softness of the bed beneath her when he lowered her down and shift just a bit when his hand brushed against the front of her denim shorts. She instinctively pressed her hips upwards and sighed happily at the sensations the pressure caused.

His hands quickly unbuttoned her shorts begging her to lift her hips to remove them , once they were gone , he played with the elastic band running his fingers slowly over the silky material, while his mouth was kissing all the sun-kissed parts of her body.

Her inhibitions were gone, nervousness fell away and she found that her hands became eager, almost greedy in their ministrations. they glided up and down his copper skin, her lips sought his and kissed and nibbled almost ferociously. She found his hardness straining against the thin fabric of his shorts and gently cupped him. His fullness only managed to stir the fire in her more and she whimpered just a bit in frustration.

His eyes nearly rolled back , he jerked from her mere touch then he slowly lowered her panties , giving them a toss next to her shorts , his fingers sliding in her moist heat.  “God baby you feel so  good . Tell me if you like that “ He growled , his mouth covering hers in a long passionate kiss.

She gasped out a breathy “Oh yes” into his open mouth and her head reeled as his fingeres invaded her and worked a magic like none she had ever even imagined. The tingling feeling she’d been feeling since he first kissed her now flared to a roar and she found herself begging for what, she didn’t know but she was begging him.

Richie paused for a moment , stood up and shimmied out of his shorts then climbed back up to Em his knee parting her legs further, then crawled over her , he gently rubbed his hardness against her core , in hopes of preparing her for his rather large size .  “Baby I’m gonna go as slow as I can, try and relax it will be easier for you “ he murmured in her ear.

She simply purred and raised her hips up to meet him, her whole body was on fire  and she felt ready to explode, implode. She felt as if she would die if he didn’t make this deep burning stop somehow.

Richie crept up closer his cock right at the entrance of her core, reaching up he grabbed her hands on each side of her , then slowly entered ,stretching her with each inch , he clinched his eyes tightly , fighting the urge to come like a teen boy on his first night .  “Baby almost there , you ready ? “ He asked as he hovered over her , his lips were a mere inch from her lips.

“Mmmhmm.” she whispered in a ragged pant. she opened her eyes and looked up, his face was a mask of concentration, his eyes closed he bit his bottom lip as he slipped inside her. His length filled her and it hurt but as much as it hurt the pain was welcome, she knew it would be brief and once it was over all the warmth and goodness she’d been feeling before would come back. She burried her face in his shoulder.

Richie reached the barrier , pausing for a moment , he smiled down at her  “It will hurt for only a moment I promise “ then he dropped a long kiss upon her lips then pressed on through . He stopped pulling away from her lips , he watched her expression , from pain to relaxation then ending with her eyes pleading for more. “ Ready ? ‘ He asked as he stroked nice and slow til the pain was replaced with unbridled pleasure.  He rotated his hips as he withdrew the slid in deeper , lifting her leg in the crook of his arm , he plunged into her warmth .

She cried out with each gentle thrust her fingers twined firmly in his hair  her mouth breathing hotly on his neck, her hips rocked against him in time to the slow sensual rhythm he’d set and soon she found herself calling out his name as she crested for the first time. The world exploded around her and she clung to him as if he were her life boat in a raging sea.

It took all his might not to follow her in Ecstasy as her walls clinched him tightly almost pleading to go over the edge with her , but no shaking his head mentally , he had to show her that her first time was something she would never forget . His thrusts would slow, rotating to enter from a different angle . Her expressions of pure bliss egging him on further to please her.

 “Baby you are amazing “ He growled in her ear.

Beads of sweat dripped down from his forehead onto her landing on her near her mouth , He growled when she licked it away with her tongue .. Good god that was sexy !  His thrusts becoming more intense , she was a fast learner and he felt more comfortable in increasing his intensity .

She’d barely come down from her first orgasm when he switched up his pace and direction sending almost immediately over the edge again, her fingernails dug into his shoulders and she breathed out “Oh my god!”

The last of Richie’s reserve was lost with her latest orgasm , it gripped him tightly , milking him like a farmer to a cow , he sped up , plunging harder and faster into her core , til his own release overtook him  jerking then slowing down til he collapsed on top her their sweat , sticking them together like cotton  candy to fingers .

Willing his breath to return to normal, he glanced up and with a smile said “ You ok ? “

Emmie nodded as she looked up at him with unabashed wonder and said simply “yeah.” Her breathing had slow back to something near normal but her heart was still racing and every nerve in her body tingled and glowed. She couldn’t help but laugh a happy shaky laugh as one finger traced a trail down his cheek.

Richie pressed his lips against hers ‘You are amazing you know that darlin’ “ he reached up to move a strand of sweaty blonde hair out of her eyes. while lying still inside her . His member twitched in response from the slight moment of touching her hair.  Holy hell , just touching her hair gets me hard again , shaking away the confusing notion , he continued to stare into her bewitching blue eyes .

She felt her face flush at his compliment and she slipped her arms around him hugging him gently to her. “Thank you.”

‘No need to thank me baby “ Richie smiled  and he leaned down to kiss her sweetly then a naughty look passed over his face “Ready to go again ? “

“Again?? Already?” she asked incredulously.

A twinkle flashed in his eyes and he smiled “ Yea ‘ He paused “ Only if you’re ready we can stop if you want ? “

She giggled “Stop? are you crazy? why would i wanna do that?” she bent his head down and captured his lips with hers. She was gonna like this, she was gonna like this alot. This was gonna be the best vacation ever.
