Chapter 36

Oct 22, 2015

“Jon what are we doing and why do I have to straighten my hair to go out with you?”

“Because I plan on us getting wild in the leaves and they won’t stick as much in your straight hair.” He laughed and patted me on the ass.  “You look really good baby, I love these jeans, the pattern on your ass makes me want to spank you and brand it there.”

“Jonny you sass.”

“You love me and you know it.  Come on, you tease me with that Maroon tank top wait until we come home tonight I’m taking that white sweater off you and sucking on your shoulders.”

“Honey I hate to burst your bubble but you’ll suck on pretty much anything on me.”

“Well yeah you have a very perky and suckalicous body.  Especially your nipples and your belly button oh and your clit and your elbow and” Jon continues until I wrap my arms around him and kiss him.  I spank his ass and he starts to laugh. 

“God I love you I can’t wait to make love to you all night when we get home.” I tell him.

“I’m all yours baby doll.” He took my hand and led me out to my car.  We use it so little that it seems odd to get into it.  Jon gets in the drivers seat and we head out of the city.  The whole way I’m playing DJ, Jon is laughing at all the wacky music I have on my iPod.  He laughs at me singing along carefree and he’s touched that he’s seen me come from someone who could find a smile if she tried really hard to the woman he loves that smiles all the time and that lives life to the fullest.  To him it seems I’m living a whole new life.  One that I closed the door on the pain of the past and decided to be open to the love in the future.

That afternoon Jon and Serena take a walk in the fall leaves, down trails in the woods, lots of people are around taking pictures and they even take pictures with their phones before Jon starts getting playful and throwing leaves at her, sooner rather than later they are rolling around in a pile of leaves before Jon lands almost on top of her, he moves to the side and pulls a diamond engagement ring out of his pocket and moves to get on one knee.  Serena sits on her heels and looks at him.

"Serena I want this relationship with you. What we've had for the past 6 months has been what I’ve been yearning for.   I want to give you the chance to know how amazing it can feel when a man loves you with his very core.  I would be honored if you would accept this ring and agree to marry me.  Will you be my wife?"

I almost fall backwards into the leaves even though this is what we talked about and I knew I wanted it too.

"Babe are you going to give me an answer?" He asked.

"Yes, oh Jon, yes." I smile and he slides the ring on my finger before covering my mouth in a kiss that makes me melt.  After about fifteen minutes of kissing where he's laying on me I smile and ask him,   Little do I know that the people wandering around closest to us were paid photographers Jon hired so I have pictures of this special day.

Once we are home and have made love Jon starts talking while we are in bed and he’s holding my hands facing me. "Do you believe in me yet?" He asked going back to the original vow we made each other about trust and belief.  He trusted me completely even before I moved in but we were still waiting on my heart to heal enough to let him in. "Yes honey, I believe in you."

He smiled. "Do you believe that I want to be with you forever and I want to marry you and never be without you by my side?"

"Yes Jon."

"Do you think you can plan a wedding for March?"

"March? Why?" I ask him not sure why he wants a certain month.

"Well honestly I know you don't want something huge or very traditional but I got married already in Vegas I don't want to do that again so I was thinking how about something that most people wouldn't do.  A Winter Wedding and I was thinking that the easy way to do it would be to use the house in the Hamptons.”

"A winter wedding sounds fun honey, original and not traditional."

"I only have 3 requests."

I reach next to me and into my nightstand and grab my always present notebook, "What are they?"

"1. My parents are invited  2. My kids are invited. 3. You wear a wedding dress"

"Seriously? A dress."

"Honey I want to be in a tux and I want my bride in a dress that I get to take off of her."

"Sure honey, what's the budget?"

"We don't have one.  There's nothing you could spend that we couldn't afford so go wild."

"I can think of a million other ways to go wild Jon than to plan a wedding."

"I will give you all of that as well I just want us to be permanent and then we can do whatever it is you desire."

She laid her head on Jon's chest and asked him, "what is it you want that you want us to be permanent for?"

"I'm that obvious?"

"Yes my dear, I know you pretty well after a year together."  She finally got up out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. "Come on shower with me while we talk."

"I would rather get your dirty."

"I know Mr. Hormone but you'll survive, talk to me."

Jon sighed and then threw the covers back following his naked fiancee into the light grey marble and glass bathroom. He patted her ass gently before she walked into the clear glass door shower and into the water.  Following her closely he took her in his arms and hugged her tight before starting to wash her back.  "I want to move back to Jersey for a while."

"Why? I thought you liked our house."

"I love that you call this place ours because it is.  I do love it but I miss Jersey and New York right now.  My brother is about to have another kid and my dad is having knee surgery in a month and I'd like to be there with them during this stuff."  He concluded while washing my arms and back.

I loved that he was honest and told me the truth of why he wanted to move. "I'd have to find out from Kal how flexible he can be.  I really like my job Jon, I don't know if I am in the mindset yet of having to give it all up."

"Baby we're getting married, at some point we're going to have to learn to compromise with each other and I think me moving here to be with you at the very beginning was a nice compromise on my behalf do you think that Kal will be able to be flexible?"  He hated to ask, he knew that I took great pride in what I did and I enjoyed my job.  However he also knew that his income could pay all the bills we have with all his houses and I didn't need to work.  Of course he didn't have the balls to tell me that, especially when I had my hands on his balls right now and was washing them.  He was in a precarious position right now and needed to tread lightly.

"How long are you thinking you want to live out East?"

"I'm not sure, maybe another year and then we'll see." Jon answered without really being very concrete.

She looked at him, "Are you telling me without telling me that you want me to stop working and just follow you around?"

"No, yes, no um, actually honey I don't know exactly what our future holds when it comes to where we'll live from year to year.”

She kissed him and then turned the water off.  "What about what I need? Stability and security and a place to call home?"

"Baby that's what I am.  That is why I want to marry you so you know where home is no matter what. You will always be able to be safe, stable and secure and loved because with my ring on your hand you have all of me that is yours.  It won't matter where we live."

"It will to an extent though Jon what if we want more kids."

"Honey we talked about this, natural children aren't really going to happen and if you want to adopt kids at that point we'll have to have a long talk about what raising them looks like to us.  Do we home school them or put them in a structured environment but how close are you to wanting that?"

"I'm not sure its just you just asked me to plan the wedding so we went from a couple with no solid wedding plans to all of sudden you want me to quit my job and move to who knows where with you."

He sits down in the cozy chair with me and we curl up in our lounge clothes, him in track pants and a t-shirt and me in yoga pants and a baggy t-shirt.  "Okay I understand, too much too soon. Thanks for pointing that out to me I just thought if I brought them both up together you would be able to digest all the changes coming up soon in your life.  Besides if you told your boss you're getting married and your husband's job demands he move back East wouldn't that work easier to get him to let you telecommute?"

The rest of the weekend they talk about plans to head out to the Hampton's so she can see the house and they can spend some time alone.  Jon also lets her know that he needs to spend some time down south in a few weekends, it seems he has some interests down there he wants to check out.  While discussing all that I just smile and relax because nothing is discussed in the first person most every comment that comes out of his mouth is 'we need' or 'we should' and every time he does that she feels safer and more loved.  His ability to think of her needs as well as his own remind her daily why she is so in love with this man.  He makes her complete and that's something she's not willing to give up.  She decides she would give up work if she needed to but since she finally found love, true love, the kind that stories are written about, now that she has that she is not willing to let it go.  She wants it to last and if making it last means she has to have a wedding she's going to but its going to be done with her feelings being considered to.

Being concerned about her boss is absurd she finds out. When she heads to work and quickly she pings Kal,

*Hey do you have a few?*

*sure give me 3 minutes then come up*

And she does. When she walked into his office she smiled right away and just blurted it out. "Kal I'm getting married in March."

"OH you two finally set a date, great.  Tell me how much time you need off."

"Well that's the thing." She swallowed.  "Jon's job is requiring that he lives back east for a while so I was wondering if I could have my job changed to be a work at home job. I do not want to resign but he's lived here for over a year pushing back at his job and well its time I return the favor."

"I might have a better solution.  Where are you guys moving to?"

"I think his place is in Red Bank if I'm not mistaken."

"How far is that from Jersey City?"

"I really don't know.  An hour maybe two, why?"

"Well no one knows this yet but we're opening a East Coast office and the two sites we are looking at is New York City and Jersey City and from a pure expense standpoint Jersey City is winning."

"So where would this office be?"

"Well we're looking at 101 Hudson Street, ask Jon what he knows of the area and see if its something you could do.  We don't offer 100% work at home positions.  You have to be able to go to the office 3 times a month at minimum for some reason or other I can't quite understand why yet myself but that is the way its set up."

"So would you be moving to Jersey or would I report to someone else if I do this Jersey thing?"

"you'll still report to me, since I'll be moving out East in June.  They want the execs to split their locations and well my ex wife and I are officially over it seems logical for me to be one that moves. My kids are in college and do not need daddy watching over their shoulder all the time anymore. In fact they told me to move and get a life.”

Chapter 35

With that said Jon and I spend the afternoon with him laying with his head on my lap while he touches and sucks on my nipples. I run my hand into his hair throughout the afternoon and he honestly relaxes more and more every few minutes his sucking changes speed and force until finally I look down at him and he's fallen asleep.  I take my nipple from his mouth and slide my shirt over my head but keep letting him sleep.

I'm so annoyed that Dorothea had to upset him but I'm happy that he told me what he needed as far as a way to calm down.  When he woke up a few hours later he smiled at me. "I love you and your tits."

I wasn't even looking at him I was watching TV so when when he says that I have to laugh, "I'm glad you liked your nap honey."  I bend down to kiss him.

"Will you move in with me?"

"you don't want to live at my place?"

"You rent, I own its more logical for us to live here. I'd have to pay the mortgage anyway."

"Sure honey, lets hire a moving company, what are we going to do with all my things?"

"We have the entire downstairs rec room that I never decorated and we have quite a few rooms I didn't buy furniture for so we can put your stuff anywhere.  We can put your stuff in the master bedroom and the stuff I bought in another room."

"The only thing I need in our bedroom is my cozy chair."

"OH yeah I love that thing, have to figure out more ways to do you in it." He teased again.

"Ok you, get up I need to go to the bathroom." He sat up and when I walked away, "Bring a condom back with you I'm horny."

"I'm so happy for you." She laughed and walked into another room. When she came back she didn't have a condom with her visibly so Jon laid her down on the couch tickling her playfully until he found the condom in her back pocket.  "Ha you're as horny as me.”

Jon continued to play with her kissing and touching her until both of them were naked and intensely turned on.   By the time sex became the necessity of the minute Serena was so intensely turned on she was grabbing at his body, “Jon”

“Yes baby”

“I need you, God Jon please I need you inside me.” She moaned and he covered his cock with a condom once he coated the tip of it with lube.  Once inside the condo he decided it was time to get inside his woman and pushed her legs open and pushed his cock deep inside her wet pussy.  

“Oh yes baby so damn tight. I love you”  He panted thrusting deep into his wet woman.  “I love your pussy, I love being inside your tight body, its heaven.”

Chapter 34

Back in Chicago a few weeks later...

"Damn woman, so perfect on your knees for me." He pushed his cock deeper into my mouth.  I swallowed around it and he stroked his hand through my hair.  "God I love you." He moaned again pulling back a little before pushing it deeper into my throat.

"So damn perfect. You're the best, you suck cock like a pro baby, my pro. You do everything just like I love."

I inhaled deeply through my nose and relaxed my throat even more and he rammed his cock all the way into my throat.  His balls were at my lips and his eyes rolled into the back of his head.  As he looked down at me on my knees sucking his cock he groaned. "So damn perfect.  Oh God babe swallow, get my cum, swallow me." He moaned while I continued to swallow around his cock and he pulled back and thrust forward, over and over he pounded into my throat until finally he could not handle it anymore.  Thankfully after getting the promise ring I removed the restriction from cumming in my mouth.  He let loose and came hard, I never tasted a thing since he was buried so deep down my throat it was way beyond my taste buds.

When he pulled his cock out of my throat he watched it come out inch by inch and got a feeling of pride at that.  Seeing that his woman had all seven inches of him in her mouth and down her throat. I am actually kind of proud at that moment too that I've learned to deep throat him with no fear.

He immediately bent down at the waist and kissed me hard. "I love you, with every fiber of my being I trust you honey.  You have given me back the ability to believe a woman when she says she loves me and won't ever hurt me. Thank you."

I smile at him.  "I am happy I have given you that back completely because I am close to believing that forever can exist."

He held up her left hand. "Is it because of that?"

"Not necessarily. It is a feeling of belonging, it is a feeling of knowing that someone loves me and is here for me. Yes the promise helps, a wedding ring will help but I know that even though marriage is intended to be forever that does not always work.  I'm happy to feel the love from you on a regular basis."

He pulled her to her feet sitting her on the bed.  He tucked himself back into his jeans and smiled.  "Does the constant sex and physicality help in that?"

"Yes actually it does.  Human touch is very important to healing and with you being skin on skin with me so often I don't feel nearly as alone.  You are breaking through my shell quite well."

"You know when I can be fully naked with you it'll help more." He teased as I spank his ass as I walk by him going to the door.  "When's that wedding happening?" She laughed letting him know that he knows what will change the restrictions and she’s not budging on this.  Although he has no intention of forcing it he told her he wouldn’t be him if he didn’t try to see if the rules had changed from time to time.

Spending the time a few weeks ago with his family was so invigorating for Serena.  After that they did what Jon promised and they went up to Upper Michigan and met Kathy and a few others, Jon was fully invested in them being family and she knew that more and more each day.

Over the next few weeks Serena and Jon fall deeper into a relationship.  The oddity of a promise ring that early in their relationship didn't seem to affect them.  She loved the fact that everyone at work wanted to see the ring since very few people took that step anymore before engagement. Her friend Anne was nuts about the fact that they hadn't known each other that long. Serena told Anne that she wasn't going to marry Jon right this second, they still had a lot to learn about one another but both of them were committed to the same end goal.  It was something they both wanted to assure them that they weren't going in an opposite direction as the other.

Anne doesn't get that but Heather does. After talking with Serena about how much she hates dating and how much she doesn't want to be alone in this world anymore she understood that Serena was willing to take a risk on Jon because she knew the pain of being alone.  It helped that on the way back from Michigan Jon had booked the flights to stop in Wisconsin so they spend the night at her house in Appleton with Heather and her son.  Once she met Jon she knew the reason why Serena was so in love.  The guy treated her like a queen.

One night she took the train to Jon's and when she walked in he was on the phone with whom she thought was his ex wife based on the dialogue.

"No I'm not giving you more...No the kids have what they need I provide for them...don't even think about it, I'm not going back to court this is over and done and you know that, I'm not your meal ticket anymore, get a job. Just because I'm going to get married again does not mean you have a right to start this shit.  Goodbye." Jon then hung up and as he turned around all he could see were his girl's open arms.  He fell into her warm embrace.  "God I love that you're here. I love you Serena." He held on tight.

"I love you Jon.  Come here just relax with me on the couch." She walked him over to the couch and sat down, he then layed down on the couch and let him fall into the couch with his head on her lap. She put her hand on his shoulder and rubbed his arm.

"Sometimes I wonder what I saw in her to marry her.  She's so greedy she just wants more and more, now she wants a new car I'm like I'm not your damn  meal ticket anymore get a damn job."  He vented as Serena moved her hand and ran it into his hair.

"Damn baby that feels so good."

"I'm here honey, she cannot get to you anymore.  She is just your past I'm your future." She reached down and kissed his temple.

"Will you do something for me? I need to know its a whole new world now."

"Sure Jon what do you need?"

"Will you take your shirt and bra off while we sit like this.  I want to lay on my back and lick and suck on your nipples while you play with my hair."

"Sure honey let me go take a shower so I'm all clean."

"No I want you now, I know you were at work today I'm ok with a little perfume and honestly a little sweat is just you."

"Ok." She told him and pulled her shirt over her head reaching behind her she struggled to unhook her bra so he reached back with one hand and undid it.  Once it fell away he smiled and moved the pillows around so he could get in the position he wanted to be in.  "How do you do that? Do they teach guys unhooking a bra 101?"

"Oh no baby its a skill you master growing up. If you are a teenage boy and a girl gives you permission to touch her tits, you figure out the fastest way to get them available for you to play with.”

“So now I’m a girl giving you permission huh?”

“For this particular afternoon yes, I’m just going to lay here and suck on your nipple and enjoy some quiet time with my baby.  You can turn on the tv babe and watch a chick flick I have some breasts to play with.”

“I didn’t know you were quite that much of a boob man.”

“I’m a sex man, if you told me no about your boobs I’d ask for your pussy and if you said no to that I’d want to play with your ass. Some afternoon in our lives I will have you laying over my lap, stomach down and I’ll play with your ass, spanking you and stretching that tight little rosebud with my fingers or toys until you were jonesing for my cock up your ass deep.”

I look at him shocked, “Really?”

“OH yeah I can think of how fun it would be to push one finger, then two and finally get three fingers in your ass before I move and fuck that tight little hole.” He said bluntly just to see if he could shock me.

"You want that pretty bad eh?" I ask him.

"Yes and no, I want to shock you right now to see your reaction but yes I want it because I want to give you that experience without the memories of being mistreated.  Then if its something you like we continue if not we don't."

"So you'll talk like this just to see if it'll shock me?" I ask him again not sure I believe that.

"Actually baby words are just that, remember, I don't give them value unless someone else does.  I like words I think they are fun so for me to talk dirty to you, I like it if it makes your body more eager to be with me.  If you retreat from me because of them then I know to not do that anymore.  So which is it babe? Do you like it when I talk dirty or not?" He asked with a smile.

"Actually I think it is kind of erotic. To know what you want to do to me."

He nibbled on her nipple and then licked it softly. "OH honey if I told you every dirty little thought on my mind you'd never talk to me again."

"OH yeah I would baby, your mouth has a way of making me smile."  

He smiled, "You know, I think as your almost fiancee its my job to push you beyond what you've experienced before.  I'll have to order some things to play with."

"Like what kind of toys?"

"Oh I'm thinking handcuffs and blindfolds and toys that expand, maybe some bondage items or some whips.  I don't know we'll sit down one night and look at the internet." He then sucked on my nipple before continuing.  "We'll look together and find the things that interest us.”

Chapter 33

I walk into his office and sit in the chair, fuming mad because I remember the conversation vividly on the plane."So Jon who is going to be at this party and did we get your parents a present?"

He pulled me to him at that moment and kissed me deeply. "I love that you just asked if we got them a present. You are finally referring to us as we are, a couple, a we." He smiled and kissed me again.

"Well the ring helps remind me." I admitted.  Even if it was just a promise ring, the idea that he was moving in that direction put me at ease more.

He pulled her just a little closer and ran his hand down her back to her ass and squeezed. "If it doesn't I know of a way to remind you. My hand connecting with your tight little sexy ass."

I even remember how he acted once the fight attendant walked away from them. Serena smiled and looked around to confirm they really were on a private plane, she asked him. "If you had only one thing outside of normal everyday sex with your woman that you could do with me what would it be?"

"Spanking you.  I reserve the right to use not just my hand but some other naughty instruments but yeah spanking you would have to be my choice."

She looked around again to make sure that the fight attendant had not come back.  "Why? What is it about spanking me that you love so much?"

"Its more about your reaction but its also because I like reminding you that you are not in charge I am.  Its hard for you to remember that you don't have to know everything and be everything.  You have said so many times that you would like to know that the world is not on your shoulders.  Well this is one way to remind you that you are smaller, weaker and one hundred percent the woman in this situation so you don't have to be control the world."

"So you spanking me is for my own good?"

"OH absolutely babe.  The other reason of course is that your ass is so sexy and I love making it pink and making your nipples stand up erect."

"Jon." I smirked at him.

"I'll show you later how cute you are when you get horny.  After everyone goes home tonight I'll spank your hot little ass until you moan and beg me to take you to paradise."

"I'll hold you to that." She smiled lacing her fingers into his. "So are you going to answer my questions?"

"Oh yeah we got mom and dad a 10 day cruise to Alaska.  They have always wanted to see it but never took the time. As for who will be there, no worries honey just family.  My kids, their significant others a few work associates that have become family to me."

Once we arrive in New Jersey, Serena feels her nerves kick in.  "Knock it off woman, you are my baby and my family is going to love you as much as I do.  My kids will see my smile and immediately like the woman that put it back on my face so stop freaking out here. I love you that is all that matters in the overall scheme of things."

Serena shakes her head softly. "It is not really that babe. I just had a flash of pain again and I realized one more thing that I can no longer do.  I can not have you meet my mom or ask my dad for my hand in marriage. You won't have anyone who can't like you since all my family is dead."  I tell him and wipe a tear away.  He does not let me keep crying alone.  He pulled me onto his lap and helped dry my tears asking me if there was anyone that he should ask or anyone left in my family that he should meet since he's marrying my family too.

"Honestly honey, I have cousins left, that's it."

"Well cousins are family too or are you saying that you are not close to them?"

"There is only one family member per se that I'd feel like I really wanted her to meet you before we got married.  A lot of the rest of them are family but I don't see them on a regular basis so I'm okay with you meeting them after we get married."

"Well then it is time that I meet this cousin.  Is that Kathy?"

"Yes how did you know?"

"That's who you are talking to a lot when I come over. She is in Michigan right?"

"Yes in Upper Michigan so if we went like in the next two weeks there might still be summertime weather.  It snows there very early in the year."

"OK I say that after my parents shindig here maybe next weekend we head to see your cousin if she's going to be around."

"Jon that is a lot of driving from Chicago it’s like eight hours and I'm already taking time off this week."

"Do they not have an airport?"

"Well not directly where she lives but close."

"Well then we get a flight as close as possible and drive from there, neither of us are broke and it is worth it."

"I agree I think."

He wrapped me tighter in his arms and smiled. "Baby you do not need to know how to wrap your mind around the new reality that you are forced to live in right now.  You have lived through what most people would have curled up in a ball over and lost their minds. I can not tell you how proud I am to call you mine, you've survived what would have killed me."

"I thought it did for a long while.  The whole time you were gone when Jesse hurt himself I thought I would die every night from the pure agony in my heart."

"How did you survive it honey? I know we haven't talked about it much but since we flew into JFK we have time before we get to my place in Jersey. Talk to me."

"I can't say that I survived it like most would. I didn't do it very well Jon. I drank. A Lot." She took a deep breath. "Every night after work I would drink probably an entire bottle of wine.  And then I cried." Again another deep breath, not so much for it being needed but more to get the bravery up to admit the next thing. "Every night. I would say for almost a month that was the pattern. I didn't drink to get drunk though, actually for me it served a purpose. I drank to not feel.  There was too much pain in my soul, I had lost 2 aunts, an uncle, a cousin, my best friend my puppy dog and then finally my mom it was too much for one soul to handled and I broke."

"But broken to you means you are so damn strong to me."

She stopped talking and just started kissing him, hard.  She needed to feel alive, she needed to feel his heartbeat and know she wasn't alone.

Jon let her control it, he knew that she was trying to hard to work through her grief.  They have talked a few times about all the pain and loss she had suffered.  He knew what they had would not have come to be if he hadn't had to leave for six months to deal with Jesse and his surgery.  That time she spent in therapy, fighting to heal.  She fought the demons that threatened to swallow her whole and she won. He never saw that bad parts, he never saw her lifeless and refusing to feel.  By the time he came back to Chicago she was strongly on the road to who she is now.  He could see it even if she couldn't, now sitting in this car with her on their way to his parents.  He knew she would always hurt, she would always miss her family but what got him is that while she had almost completely died emotionally she actually loves more completely and more actively than anyone else he has ever known. Including his ex wife.  Serena loves him completely. Maybe that's because she knows how valuable every day is, maybe that is because she knows that without being invested emotionally you're dead inside. She's felt that already and doesn't want to go back.  He can see that in everything she does, it is cute how she holds on so tight to him so she does not lose another person but then demands she has her own time so she does not lose herself.  He ran his hand through her straight hair. He smiled knowing she straightened it because she was insecure about her 'wild' hair but what she does not realize that he loves her wildness. He kissed her temple and smiled again, "I love you baby."

She turned and smiled to him again.  "I love you too baby, anything I should know about your parents?"

"Nope, my parents are real and they just want me happy.  Just like I want my kids to be happy and if that means they love someone I don't quite understand or know that well, then that is okay because if they are happy in life that's all I can ask for."

"So do they have anything they hate?"

"Yes mom isn't a fan of snakes and swearing with bad bad words she'll get mad at.  Don't say Fuck around her or my dad they might put you in the corner and they are Marines they can do it." He smiled.

I laugh at that and slap his ass as we get out of the limo.

"Did you just slap my son?" Carole, Jon's mom asked.

"Well yeah but he deserved it.  He's such a sassy man."

Carole smiled and shrugged, "Well that's true. She's got you there Honey."

"Mom you are supposed to protect me." He groaned and then hugged his mom. "I love you beautiful." He kissed the side of her face and then smiled. "Mom this is Serena, hon, this is mom - Carole."

"It is so nice to meet you."

Of course there's hugs and smiles from her as we walk into the house and the driver leaves our bags at the door taking the tip from Jon before he smiles. "I'll just bring these upstairs I'll be right back."

As he gets five steps up his mom smiles. "Separate room Jon."

"You are dreaming mom." Jon smiled and finished up to his master bedroom.

I look at his mom, "Oh I can sleep in a separate room that's not a problem Carole."

"Are you crazy? I'm not foolish enough to believe the two of you don't share a bed in Chicago.  I just like to joke with him and he likes to remind me that he's old and does not listen to me anymore."

"Want me to help you get him, I can pretend I don't want to sleep with him with his parents in the house."

Carole smiled and then saw Jon coming down the stairs. "I think we're busted." She laughed as Jon wrapped his arms around me, "Brat, you deserve a spanking for trying to tease me like that.  So not nice to gang up on me with the likes of her." He gestured to his mom with a shrug.  "Besides as my soon to be fiancee you have a job to do, its to love me and hug me when I need it. I need you in my arms at night to give me strength, after all both of my kids are here with their current counterparts.”
