Chapter 37
Now he was in serious trouble, Megan's confession had clearly been a warning that he couldn't take lightly. If he couldn't confess his love over the phone, he would do it in person. The next morning he was on his way to the airport in his SUV, tying his fingers to get on a flight as soon as possible. He would get his family back, of that he was absolutely sure.
While in Megan's office her lawyer was advising her to be more reasonable, she in turn had made up her mind, she would sell her shares and totally disassociate herself from the bank's business. She would start her own business with its own rules and schedule, so that she could devote more time to her little baby.
After all the fuss with the shareholders and the lawyer, he had finally sold his shares and with that he had amassed a larg fortune to live well for a very long time and to be able to give his son a good life. At last he would be free of his family's wealth. By the time he returned home, he felt completely happy, he believed that nothing could ruin his happiness.
- Hi Megan, you're home early.
- Hi Mel, where's the baby?
- Asleep.
~ You know, I thought, if you want, you can come back to the ranch anytime. I'll pay for everything, girlfriend. Melissa was aware of all her friend's decisions.
~ I don't think I can leave you alone.
~ Rodrigo must miss you a lot, I think it would be a good idea for you to go. You know I'll be fine!
~ Girlfriend you're a fool, you can't be separated from Jack. He really loves you, believe me.
- 'm sorry Mel. I know you mean well, but he hasn't shown that he does, and it doesn't matter you know, I'm fine, I'll be fine!
- Oh Mega, I think you're rushing things. She gave him a big comforting hug.
~ Thank you for being with me Mel. She told him on the verge of tears. -I really want you to go with Rodrigo, it's been a lo time and you haven't seen each other, he must miss you very much.
- Yes, he tells me that every time we talk, all of a sudden and I took you at your word.
A small knock on the door interrupted the friends’ conversation.
- Excuse me Miss Blake. Mr. Jack Manson is downstairs.
- Jack, is he here?
Her heart instantly skipped a beat, if he'd arrived so quickly, he'd most likely been using jet lag. But that had led him to travel to Atlanta suddenly.
- You don't plan to see him. Her friend winked.
~ Yeah, sure, bring it up here when you come down, please.
~ I'told you, he loves you.
- We don't know why he's here.
Without waiting to think too long, she ran to the bathroom to clean herself up a bit, she thought about putting some lip gloss on her lips and why not? She sprayed some cherry water on the side. It had been so many weeks, she couldn't recei him as he was. She heard two soft knocks on the door and he came in, as handsome and manly as ever, he melted her immediately.
~ Hello, my dear.
~ It's a surprise for me to see you here.
- Jet lag works wonders, it's awful, but it was worth it.
- Yeah? Why's that?
~ Because I missed you so much, and now that I'm seeing you I don't regret taking that long trip. Because every night you've made me miss you so much and my whole being has needed you. Because I don’t know what to do without you. Because I love you madly and I want you to remain my wife and the mother of all my children, I want you to come with m to make me immensely happy, to reward you for all this time that I have been an idiot. Do you want to remain the wife of this cowboy?
Life could give her no greater gift than that confession of love from the man with whom she had fallen deeply in love. He had made that long trip because he loved her and was afraid of losing her, how could he not love her, standing there in front of her dressed as a sexy cowboy and releasing pheromones everywhere.
~ I dot She threw herself into his arms and was greeted with a kiss that went deep into her bones.
~ I love you, Megan!
- Oh Jack, I waited 50 long to hear those words from you. I love you so much. She told him full of joy.
- Well, these two weeks have been hellish. This punishment you've given me has been the worst of all. So why don't we g to bed and have a proper discussion.
- That sounds like a great idea.
Megan and Jack spent a whole week in Atlanta, while Megan finalised the business of getting things in order, since she ha decided to live on the ranch with her husband and son, she would sell everything but the new house she had bought. Perhaps her son wanted to live a different kind of life than his father, so she had decided to keep the house. The days th: Megan had free, she dedicated to her husband, they walked and enjoyed each other, but she knew very well that Jack hac lot of work, and she couldn't delegate so much work to Rodrigo.
~ Are you sure you want to come back tomorrow? Jack asked her, hugging her completely naked, after a magnificent dinne they spent the rest of the night making love.
~ Yes, I'm sure, you have a lot of work to do at home. And I'm anxious to get my project off the ground.
- Do you really want to open a clothing shop in town?
- Of course I do, a lot of women have to go all the way to San Antonio to buy a dress, I'm going to make it easy for them t get to a good shop in half an hour.
- Well okay, I'll talk to some friends to find a good place for you.
~ That would be great! He gave her a kiss on the cheek.
it had been five months since they had left Atlanta, Megan and Melisa had done their best to open the clothing shop. It took a while at first, since it wasn't very popular, but as the months went by, their business began to pay off.
~ How do you feel about being the wife of a grumpy cowboy? Jack asked her, both of them in the bathtub giving each oth a lovely wife massage.
~ You're not a grumpy cowboy, I admit that before I couldn't stand you because you bothered me all the time, but I know that you did everything because you had fallen in love with me and the best way to show it was to bother me. He said in mocking tone.
~ I still like to tease you!
- 1 know, and I hate it!
I can't help it, you look lovely when you're angry, city girl.
- Don't be a bore. Giving her a pat on the shoulder.
As she lathered his arms with the sponge, he began to trace his fingers in circles on her belly, until he reached her femini centre.
- Oh Jack! she moaned eagerly. - Do you want me to misbehave tonight?
- Every night, if it's with you. - Are you ready for my city girl?
~ Yes, cowboy! And that was the last thing he said to her.
