Chapter Ten

Deborah looked back from admiring the view from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Jon had been collared by a couple of squealing American fans. They had approached Jon and her as they were about to make their way to the edge to look at the magnificent view that was afforded them from atop the tower when two women shyly came towards them and asked him if he was who they thought he was.

Deborah’s immediate thought was ‘ How the hell does he know who you think he is? What is he? A mind reader?’ when Jon pretty much asked the same thing, albeit more politely. The two women had almost squealed with joy and, catching Jon’s eye, Deborah had stepped away from them. She understood that this was a moment that the two women would probably treasure forever and she didn’t want to intrude on their moment. Plus she had felt the beginnings of something stirring inside her as one of the women had placed her hand on Jon’s arm and she needed some time alone to think about what she was feeling.

Jon stood and smiled as the camera flashed. He usually hated being caught out in public and pawed by women, whether they were fans or not, but he found he didn’t really mind it this time. He smiled as he thought of why he didn’t mind it. It was Deborah’s presence, she had a calming effect on him. When she wasn’t turning him on and making him want to jump her of course, but he knew he needed to take things slow as it had only been two days since he had sworn to himself that he was not going to get involved with another woman, ever. And yet, here he was threatening to do just that

The two women, Natalie and Becka as they had told him, were clearly huge fans and were having the time of their lives in talking to him and having photo’s taken. His smile slipped a little as he felt one of the women slip her hand down to his backside and squeeze.

He moved deftly out of her grasp and, handing an autograph over, looked at the two women. They were both smiling at him, huge almost designer smiles that he felt could devour him if he let it. He switched on his megawatt smile.

“It was nice to meet you two ladies but I’m going to have to go now.” he leaned closer, “To tell you the truth I’m scouting locations for our next video and I need a bit of peace and quiet to do so.”

They both nodded eagerly as if they were the first to garner this information.

“So, I’d be really grateful if you could keep it to yourselves that I’m here, ya know wouldn’t want the paparazzi to get a scoop, if you get my drift.”

“Oh of course Jon, you can totally count on us, we can be discreet.” said Becka, though it could’ve been Natalie.

Natalie, or was it Becka had written something on a piece of paper which she handed to Jon.

“This is our phone number. If you’re casting for extras for the next video we’d love to be in it.”

Jon forced himself to keep a straight face and take the proffered paper.

“O..k ladies, well I’ll keep you in mind.” he said as he backed away from them, looking desperately around for Deborah. Goddamn it where was Richie when he needed him. Richie would’ve charmed those two matrons until they were a puddle on the floor. He sighed and turned to search for his favourite redhead.

Deborah had turned back to the amazing view. Words had failed her. The overhead sun was glinting off far away white buildings. She could see the Moulin Rouge windmill and Mont Martre. A fresh, saline smell drifted past her nose and she breathed it in deeply, sighing as she did at the wonderment before her. She only wished that the wire could be removed so that she could have an uninterrupted view of the beautiful city. She was so engrossed in the view and her thoughts that she physically jumped when she felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around her, one around her waist and the other across her shoulder and the top of her chest.

“Hey babe.” Jon whispered, causing a small shiver to run down her back.

He leant his head on her shoulder and breathed in her perfume. It was a subtle dry scent from Diptyche, a small parfumerie on Boulevard St Germain, and she’d dragged him there before they’d made their way to La Tour Eiffel.

“Hey you,” Deborah responded, leaning back into his embrace, thinking that it felt right to be there, “Isn’t it such a wonderful view?” she continued.

Jon peered down at the swell of her breasts as they rose and fell with each breath and grinned.

“Oh yeah.” he said, his voice husky.

Deborah turned her head slightly to see him and caught him staring at her body.

“Jon, you really are incorrigible you know.” she smiled.

“Hey I can’t help it if I like what I see, can I?” he said, pouting.

“We’re meant to be looking at the view.”

“Oh I am, I’m looking at a great view.”

He shifted his arm slightly so that his forearm brushed the slight swell at the top of her breasts causing Deborah to gasp. She could feel the hardness of his abdomen behind her and she squirmed slightly as a pool of heat began to gather between her thighs.

“So what’s you favourite bit then?” she asked, trying to create a bit of distance between what she was feeling and the fact that they were in public.

“Oh I have so many” he whispered before kissing a spot on her neck just behind her ear.

“I like this bit.”

He kissed her bare shoulder.

“And this bit.”

He turned her head towards him and nibbled along her jaw line.

“And this bit.”

He kissed her forehead softly.

“That bit’s nice too.”

He turned her so that she was facing him.

Deborah looked up at Jon, her eyes huge in her face. She opened her lips slightly as if to say something but never got the chance as he gently lowered his mouth to hers.

Deborah grabbed hold of his tee shirt as he kissed her to stop her knees from buckling.

Jon licked her bottom lip tenderly to gain entry. It worked and soon he pushed his tongue inside her mouth to taste and explore. She tasted of menthol cigarettes and coffee with a hint of chocolate and toothpaste and he wanted more. He wanted to taste her all over, to leave no inch of her skin unlicked.

Deborah moaned deep in her throat and threaded her arms around his neck to pull him in closer to her. She could feel his growing arousal pressing into her belly through his jeans and it was only the sudden presence of the wire fence behind her that reminded her of where they were.

She pulled away from him slightly and opened her eyes to find him grinning at her, his breathing ragged and his beautiful bright blue eyes dilated with lust. He brought his hands up to encompass her face and leant his forehead onto hers, noses touching. Both were slightly surprised as to the amount of passion they had touched in the other. For a moment all they did was look at each other.

“Let’s go home.” Jon whispered, unaware of his use of the word ‘home’.

Deborah just nodded as she was beyond speech.

Jon pulled her close to him and together they made their way off La Tour Eiffel. A few Parisians smiled as they passed by, just another couple in love.

They walked, wordlessly, away from the tower and back to the hotel. After about five minutes Jon let go of Deborah and whistled as a taxi came towards them. They scrambled to get inside and were soon speeding back towards their hotel room.

---------------------------------------------------------

Jon opened the door to their room and they both entered. The bright flame of earlier had dimmed somewhat as they had both realised, almost at the same time, that they really were going to make love with each other. Both were nervous and apprehensive.

Deborah sat down on the bed. It was actually two single beds zipped together to make a double. She pulled her denim jacket off and dropped it on the floor, along with her sandals. Jon lit up a cigarette and immediately stubbed it out.

“What..”

“Do you?”

They both spoke at the same time and laughed which helped to break the ice.

Jon moved round the room to sit next to her on the bed. He cupped her face in his hands and looked into her eyes that shone with apprehension and need.

Gently he kissed her mouth then pulled away.

“We can take this as slowly as you want.” he said, placing his hand over her heart and feeling her rapid heart beat start to slow. He could feel the heat from her skin through the cotton tee shirt she was wearing and he licked his lips.

Deborah stared into his eyes, feeling that she could very easily get lost in them. She leant forward until there was mere millimetres between their mouths. She could feel his breath upon her lips and she subconsciously worried her lower lip between her teeth.

Jon felt his erection straining against his jeans as she breathed on him and he moved forward to fill the space between them. Their mouths met and explored each other with a timidity that belied the passion that raged beneath the surface. Jon slowly began to undo the buttons on Deborah’s teeshirt until her satin covered breasts were bared for his touch. Slowly, tenderly he ran his calloused fingertips over her bra feeling the hardening nubs underneath. Breaking the kiss he lowered his head and sucked one of the small nubs into his mouth, wetting the material of her bra.

Deborah gasped aloud as heat flooded through her system. She was filled with a sudden urge to feel his mouth on her skin and struggled to undo the clasp at the back. Deftly, not even breaking contact, Jon reached behind her and flicked open the clasp with one hand, chuckling deep in his throat at how his years of practice had come in handy.

Deborah shrugged the straps off her shoulder, forcing Jon to release her nipple with a little pop of his mouth. She allowed the material to fall until it landed in her lap and she was properly bared before him. He could almost se her heart beating fast beneath her chest as he drank her in. With a smile he resumed his ministrations on her nipple with his hot, wet tongue whilst gently stroking the other with his hand.

Deborah’s head spun with feeling and heat. No one had ever made her feel like this before and the sensations were overwhelming to her. She whimpered as his hand cupped her full breast, feeling the weight of it.

Gently Jon lay her back on the bed and stretched out beside her, marvelling at her smooth, unblemished skin.

He leant over and kissed her again, feeling her start to relax under his kiss.

“Hmm, I think I’m overdressed.” he murmured, sitting up and removing his teeshirt, boots and shucking his tight jeans, revealing white jockey shorts that left barely kept his burgeoning erection in place. He lay back down beside her and gently kissed her shoulder, licking the smooth skin, tasting her.

Deborah closed her eyes and gave in to the sensations he was creating within her. She could already feel a heat beginning between her thighs and shifted slightly trying to cause a bit of friction there.

Jon noticed her do this and chuckled to himself.

“I think you maybe overdressed as well.” he whispered as he undid her jeans zip and slowly pulled them down and off her legs, leaving her in a small pair of white satin knickers.

She opened her eyes and looked at him as he settled back down next to her, his erection pressing into her hip. Heat rippled through her as he gently traced patterns and swirls on her body with the barest touch of his fingertips. Goosebumps appeared on her skin as she shivered with excitement and anticipation, making her more aroused than she already was.

Slowly he traced a path down to her knickers and delved inside, gently probing through the already sodden curls until he found her nub. He gave it the barest of touches, causing her to jump slightly. She whimpered, her eyes tightly closed.

Waiting for her to relax, he gently stroked the inside of her folds, feeling the wetness seeping from her. He watched the gamut of emotions and sensations run across her face as she finally relaxed. He circled her clitoris gently, getting her used to the sensations that were zipping through her like electricity. He pressed down on the sensitive nub and she tipped her head back and gave a low moan that went straight to the base of his cock, causing it to bob painfully against the constricting elastic of his shorts.

Jon could feel the passion in her just waiting to burst forth and he was going to do his damnedest to make sure he was the one who brought it out of her.

He pressed further and she keened, clutching at the bed sheets, her back raised off the bed.

He lowered himself and began to lick her. Long, lazy swipes of his tongue from the base of her opening to her clit. He gently took her clit into his mouth and sucked on it. He loved the fact that he was giving her pleasure.

Deborah’s eyes flew open and she was lost. Lost in a swirl of feelings, sensations and emotions as her orgasm ripped savagely through her. She screamed and moaned as she writhed on the bed, her internal muscles clenching around nothing, wishing he was inside her to feel it.

“Oh god, Jon…Oh god, oh god, oh god…mmmm.” she moaned as her passion finally broke the dam.

“Oh fuck Jon…get inside…now…please!” she pleaded, not wanting the delicious feelings to fade, wanting, no needing to be stretched and filled by him.

Jon needed no encouragement and, ripping off his shorts, carefully, he crawled up the bed until he was in position, teasing her clit with the tip of his penis, making her jump as the pleasure pain principle took over.

Blindly she reached out for him and tried to impale herself on him. He took the hint and plunged into her.

Jon moaned as she felt the tail end of her orgasm wrap itself around him. Oh god she was so tight and small, he thought he might rip her in two. He closed his eyes allowing the sensations wash over him for a moment or two before he began to thrust in and out of her, marvelling at how tight she was. He opened his eyes and looked down at her as he took all his weight on his elbows. He bent down and tenderly kissed her.

Deborah wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer until he was lying fully on her, thrusting in and out, harder and faster with each thrust. She wrapped her legs around his back and locked her ankles, wanting all of him inside her. It felt so right.

With each stroke they could feel the white heat spiralling towards them, threatening to overtake them both. Jon thrust as hard and fast as he could and Deborah pulled him into her deeper with every stroke. Heat broke over them and enveloped them in a cloud of pleasure and passion. Jon yelled as he felt her muscles contract around his engorged member causing him to spill his seed inside her.

Deborah felt him spurting inside her and smiled, feeling like she’d come home.

Jon made to move off her.

“No please, stay inside me for a little while, it feels right.” she murmured, pulling him in for another kiss.

After a few moments he slid out of her and curled up around her. He pulled a quilt over them and they drifted off to sleep.

As Jon felt himself drifting he murmured in his sleep.

“I love you.”

Deborah opened her eyes than closed them again, smiling.

Chapter Nine

Deborah woke up for the second time that morning and stretched. Jon was sat up on his bed, legs crossed at the ankles, wearing a pair of low slung jeans and not much else. He was writing in a small note pad and had an intense but thoughtful look on his face. He was listening to his ipod and tapping one foot along to the melody.

Deborah smiled to herself as she lay on her side, cuddled into her quilt, watching him work. He was tanned but not to the mahogany hue that Richie favoured. It was more an ‘I work and play outdoors’ kind of tan than an ‘I own a tanning booth’ kind of tan. He had a small concentration of freckles dotted along his shoulders that the sun had brought out. He was still favouring the hairless chest look and Deborah jut let her eyes roam over his body. He had broad, muscular shoulders that led to well defined pecs and an abdomen she was sure she could bounce a penny off of. He wasn’t as muscular as he had been when filming ‘The Leading Man’, but it was close. His jeans fit his thighs tightly and revealed shapely legs that tapered off to long, slim feet.

It was weird, but nice, to be sharing a room with a man she wasn’t in a relationship with. Ever since Glen she had feared she wouldn’t ever want to sleep in the same room with a man again but Jon was so comfortable to be around he had taken away that fear, plus he was so easy on the eye.

Deborah let her gaze move back up to his face and jumped slightly as she was met with a pair of bright blue eyes staring back at her.

“Do I pass the test?” he asked, putting the notepad to one side and running the other hand through his blond shaggy hair.

Deborah had the grace to blush slightly as she sat up and pushed the quilt off.

“I think so.” she said, smiling at him as she got up and walked over to the balcony door.

“Hey if you wanna smoke in here, then smoke, no need to go out there for my sake.” Jon said, offering her one of his cigarettes.

She leant over to take one and he looked straight down her tee shirt. She had D cup breasts with rose areolas and he could also see the slight flair of her belly as her tee shirt gaped wide.

She took the cigarette and stood up, totally oblivious to his having checked her out.

She took a deep drag from the cigarette and sighed with pleasure.

“You know, this’ll mean that Jen and Richie will never come into this room, don’t you?” she said as she exhaled a plume of blue-grey smoke.

“I can but hope.” he smirked, “I don’t mean that but I swear, I went along earlier while you were sleeping…again, you know you keep that up and I’m gonna call you Richie mark 2, anyway I let myself in to my old room to get my stuff and he was stood there completely naked. I swear if I see that man’s balls or ass one more time I’m just gonna scream, no scratch that, I’m gonna go live on some desert island, somewhere where I will never have to see Richie naked anymore.”

Deborah started laughing at the thought of Jon running through the hotel screaming ‘my eyes, I’m blind!’

“It’s no laughing matter, I mean that man is so well built it’s enough to give you a complex you know. It’s bad enough that he has to be taller than me but to have that body and be older than me? S’not fair.”

Deborah looked at him, expecting him to have a huge grin but he wasn’t even smiling. She realised that he was serious and had a complex about the way he looked.

“But Jon, there’s nothing to compare to. You and Richie are just so different and perfect in your own ways. I mean Richie’s perfect to Jen. He’s loud and funny and good looking and pretty much everything she’s ever looked for in a man, whereas to me he’s high maintenance and I would always be aware of what I looked like, making sure every hair was in place in case I got photographed and I’m just not that kind of person.”

Jon was intrigued. He had used his ‘I’m not worthy and I’m really shy under my persona’ speech and she hadn’t turned round and kissed his ass, telling him how wonderful he was. She had told him he was as good as Richie but no better and no worse. He had started to use his little speech to weed out the ass kissers and those women who just wanted to hang off his arm.

“So what kind of man are you looking for?” Jon asked, lighting a cigarette and putting in the ashtray.

“Well one that doesn’t run off with a friend of mine for a start.” she tried to joke, her smile not quite reaching her eyes.

Jon reached out a hand and stroked hers.

“Is that what Glen did?” he asked, softly.

She nodded, not quite trusting herself to speak.

Jon moved over and sat cross legged facing her, taking her hands in his.

“What happened?” he asked, his voice softly whispering to her, full of concern and compassion.

Deborah took a deep shaky breath and adopting his position looked into his open, honest face.

“Lisa was someone I worked with. She was new to the office and the area. She’d moved there with her boyfriend but had split from him before she came to work. Well, she was young and pretty and quite shy and I guess I felt for her and took her under my wing at work. Very soon she was coming home with me for dinner and would often spend the night in our spare room. Glen hadn’t really taken to any of my other friends and I guess over time I’d lost contact with a lot of them because he wanted me to be with him. After a while Glen started to take an interest in Lisa and I was glad as no one wants their friends to be ignored by their partner, do they?,” Deborah looked back up at Jon as she’d been staring at the quilt.

“After a few months Lisa mentioned her lease was up and she needed to find somewhere to live, I said this to Glen and he said she should move in with us for a while until she found somewhere,”

Deborah sighed, tears in her eyes,

“God, I was so stupid, I didn’t even see it coming, you know? All I knew was that I had a friend again and that Glen got along with her. I didn’t even think it was strange that he’d stopped going out with his friends on a Thursday night and had started staying at home to talk to me and Lisa as it was the one night a week we were both on the early shift and got home early.”

“How did you find out?” he asked, holding tightly onto her hands which had gone limp in his grasp.

“I walked in on them. I knew Lisa was home as she’d taken the day off and I’d gone home sick, with a stomach upset, isn’t it funny how I can remember all these details as if it was yesterday? Anyway, I was looking for some stomach tablets and thought she might know where they were. I knocked on her door but the music was loud so I just walked in to find her astride Glen. They were so busy they didn’t even notice me for a few minutes, not until Glen opened his eyes and saw me in the doorway.”

Jon squeezed her hands and wiped a lone tear away as it trickled down her cheek.

“What did you do?”

“I left. I turned around, gathered my coat and bag and left. I went to another friends house and she took me in, even though I hadn’t seen her for over six months because of Glen, she was still my friend. You know sometimes people really surprise me. I mean she had every right not to speak to me because of what I did but all of that was forgotten and she let me stay with her and cry on her shoulder. She came back with me the next day and we cleared out most of my stuff. What we could put in my car anyway. I cancelled all my direct debits to do with the house and cleared out the joint account. That was six months ago and up until two weeks ago I hadn’t heard from him at all.”

Jon moved forward and brushed a soft, warm kiss on her forehead, before placing an arm around her shoulders and allowing her to rest against his chest.

Chapter Eight

Jen walked out of the huge, luxury bathroom and stood, naked, in the doorway. She rubbed the water from her hair and discarded the towel onto the floor. She looked over at Richie. She still had to pinch herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming and that she really was sharing a room with a very naked and very horny Richie Sambora. The slight soreness in her muscles told her that it wasn’t a dream and that she really had been having sex; long, hard sex with the sexiest guy she’d ever known.

She stood in the doorway watching as he softly stroked his huge erection, his eyes hooded and sensual, with a small, wry smile on his lips. His head was cocked to one side and he looked her up and down as she stood, brushing out her long, wet, dark brown hair.

His mahogany tanned skin glistened with a thin sheen of sweat that she just ached to lick off as she walked slowly, seductively towards him.

Richie looked at the sexual woman in front of him and slowly fisted his aching erection. She smiled at him, slowly licking her lips as she sashayed over to him.

“Want some help with that?” she motioned to his hard on as it bobbed against his abdomen, as she sat down on the bed next to him.

“Why? What you offering?” he replied, his voice husky with need.

Jen just smiled as she lowered her head to taste the pre cum as it glistened on the tip of him.

“Oh baby.” he whispered, as she took the whole of his erection into her warm, wet mouth.

Jen began to lick and nibble up the hard shaft, her hand pumping him lazily.

Richie reached down and fondled her breast, rolling the nipple between his fingers.

Jen moaned, deep in her throat, causing Richie’s penis to jump as the vibration hit his sensitive skin.

She looked up at him, keeping eye contact with him as she licked and sucked him.

He brushed the hair from out of her face and smiled at her, wrapping the long, silky strands around his fist.

He began to whimper, his eyes fully dilated as she went down on him faster and harder, felling the sensitive skin gliding back and forth over his rock hard penis.

Jen looked up at the man she had wanted for so long and felt her heart skip a beat as he lay back against the bedstead, his eyes closed and face flushed. Deep down in her mind she knew she mustn’t get too emotionally involved as it was highly unlikely she would ever see him again after the end of the week but her heart just wasn’t listening and she knew that she had fallen for him. He smiled and she knew she was going to end up getting hurt, one way or another but right now, she didn’t care as she straddled him and impaled herself on him in one swift motion.

Richie’s eyes shot open as he felt her warmth envelop him., he reached out for her hips to steady her as she moved up and down his shaft, her internal muscles fluttering around him as her orgasm neared.

Jen closed her eyes and let her head tip back, trailing her hair along his thighs as she felt her orgasm gathering speed. Sweat glistened over their bodies as she felt the heat pooling between her legs. She could feel her thigh muscles begin to tremble and gasped as Richie grabbed her and flipped her over onto her back before pounding into her hard and fast.

“Oh god.” she moaned as she felt the orgasm travelling up her legs to her spine.

“Oh…oh…yes! Richie! Oh my god!” she screamed as her orgasm exploded within her, the white heat spreading out in concentric circles from her womb. Her internal muscles clenched tightly around him and Richie gave one last grunt before he came, shooting up inside her.

He rolled over onto his side and breathed heavily. Jen smiled at him as she pushed her sweat soaked hair out of her face.

They snuggled into each other and drifted off to sleep.

Chapter Seven

Deborah opened her eyes and blinked in the darkened room. Something had woken her up. She glanced over at Jen's bed to find it was empty. She wasn't surprised in the least. The four of them had ended up in the downstairs bar of the hotel for a nightcap and the way Jen and Richie had looked at each other, not to mention the way they had held hands and whispered to one another, Deborah wasn't surprised that Jen wasn't in her bed.

She lay there for a moment wondering what had woken her. After the events at the restaurant Deborah hadn't really been in the mood for a nightcap and had only stayed for one before retiring for the night.

Knock.

She realised the sound she'd heard was a knock on the door and sleepily she got up, switching on the bedside lamp before opening the door. It was probably Jen.

“Have you forgotten your key?” she said, yawning, as she opened the door.

“Er, no as i never had one.”

Deborah blinked owlishly, as she looked at Jon, who was lounging in the doorway with a sheepish look on his face and a small bag in his hands.

“Can i come in?” he asked

“Er, yes. What time is it?" she asked, as he brushed past her and sat down on the small sofa.

"Twoish I think.” Jon replied as he removed his boots, “Oh god that’s better.” he sighed.

Deborah sat down on her bed, suddenly acutely aware of the thinness of her nightwear. She had put on a thin cotton vee necked t shirt to sleep in that was quite worn in places.

She smiled at him. “Have you been kicked out of your room then?” she asked as visions of Jen and Richie doing the dirty floated into her mind.

“Something like that. Actually Richie’s exact words were ‘get out of the room and don’t come back until it stops rocking.’ which, knowing those two, will be sometime next decade. When he’s got the scent in his nose it’s best to just stay out of his way, you know.” he smiled, which turned into a yawn, showing those perfect white teeth and a pink tongue.

“Well I’m sure Jen won’t mind if you have her bed, she’s not exactly using it.” Deborah replied, getting into her bed and pulling the covers up.

“I am so glad you said that as I really didn’t fancy going downstairs and seeing if they had another room, ‘specially since Dave and Teek checked out. I think that room’s already gone. I saw someone going in there as we walked past.” he got up from the sofa and walked towards the small but luxurious bathroom.

“Just gonna take a shower.” he mumbled, opening the buttons on his dark blue shirt.

Deborah gulped as she caught a glimpse of his chest. Jon looked straight at her and smiled as she blushed.

She groaned softly as the bathroom door shut, and pulled the quilt up over her head.

Jon grinned to himself as he showered. He couldn’t believe she’d actually blushed at the sight of his chest. What the hell was she going to do when he came out of the bathroom wearing only a low slung towel?
He didn’t get to find out as when he walked out of the bathroom and switched off the light he found she had drifted back off to sleep.

Shaking his head, he slipped on a loose pair of boxer shorts and sat on the edge of his bed, drying his hair with the towel. He needed to blow dry it otherwise it would look like he’d been dragged through a hedge backwards in the morning but didn’t want to wake her again.

Jon got into the comfortable bed and sighed as he laid down. He turned onto his side and watched Deborah sleep for a few moments before he turned out the light.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jen looked up at Richie and grinned. She’d had about three hours sleep and yet felt on top of the world. Richie had spent most of the night making love to her in ways she had never dreamt of in her wildest dreams. Even thinking back on the nights events had her wet.

She put the key card into the lock and wiggled it a bit, waiting for the green light. Finally it clicked open and she walked into the room she shared with Deborah.
Seeing Deborah and Jon still fast asleep she motioned for Richie to be quiet.

Jon heard movement and woke. It was one of his problems that he was a light sleeper. He sleepily opened his eyes and looked straight at Deborah who seemed to be in the same position she’d been in when he’d fallen asleep. He flexed his fingers and felt his fingertips brush hers. Looking down he saw they had both reached out, during the night, to each other and their fingers were almost touching.

He smiled and was still smiling when Richie and Jen walked out of the bathroom. It took a few moments for his brain to kick in and he stared at them with a puzzled look on his face.

“Hey morning sleepy head.” Richie began.

Jon put a finger across his lips to indicate that Richie should keep the noise down. He motioned to Deborah.

“Hush man, she’s still sleeping.”

“Sorry dude.”

“What are you doing in here? Is one room not enough for you two?” he grinned, trying to clear the sleep from his eyes.

“Oh, we’re just getting Jen’s things. She’s moving in with me.” he said, as Jen began to pack her clothes away.

“Oh? So I’m in here then?”

“Yeah, that’s ok, right?” Richie asked.

“Well yeah, but did you think to ask Debs?”

“Er.” began Richie, a slow blush began to creep along his cheeks.

“S’ok guys, Jon can stay.” a sleepy voice emanated from the bundle of bedclothes that was Deborah.

“Hey babe, sorry. I was trying to get these two elephants to be quiet.” Jon said, in a soft voice.

Deborah pushed the bedclothes off and sat up yawning, totally forgetting about the thin teeshirt and gave both guys a glimpse of her deep cleavage.

Jon glared at Richie who had raised his eyebrows, his dark eyes flashing as he looked, firstly at Deborah and then secondly at Jon.

Deborah stretched, trying to work out some kinks in her neck, totally oblivious to the peep show she was giving the two guys every time she moved. Finally Jon’d had enough of Richie’s lascivious grins.

“Hey Rich? Jen? Take what you’ve got so far and I’ll pop the rest along later. I wanna get some more sleep ok?” the tone was light but Richie could hear the steel beneath and dragged Jen out of the room with a half packed suitcase.

“Morning sweetheart.” he said, turning to Deborah, to find her snuggled back down on the bed.

“Morning Jon. Sleep well?” she asked, still yawning like mad.

“Yes.” he replied, quite surprised as he realised it was the truth. He had slept for a full eight hours, something he hadn’t done in years and he felt really good for it.

Deborah smiled at him and was still smiling when she drifted back into sleep.

Jon just smiled and shook his head. This was going to be just like sharing a room with 'I need my sleep' Richie...well almost...
