Deceiving My Bully Stepbrother

(Caspian)

I kissed Johnnie for the fourth time, my hands gripping either side of her face as she tried to pull away.

"Just one more." I mumbled, not wanting to let her go yet.

"Baby, I'm going to be late.." Johnnie muttered against me as I shrugged..not really caring to be honest..I know that makes me sound like a d**k, but I need a proper goodbye from my wife or my day will go to s**t.

"Fine, one more." She agreed, making this one really count as she slid her tongue out, swirling it with my own.

I don't know what it is..but I feel super clingy this morning, I mean..more than usual.

Maybe it's because Johnnie agreed we should try for another baby..she actually didn't take her pill this morning and we ended up f*****g in the shower..and on the bed..oh, once in the laundry room too. No wonder she is running later than usual...we did wake up super early though.

I felt Johnnie tossing and turning for most of the night and when she got up at 4 a.m. and left the room, I went to find her.

I walked down the hallway, the sound of humming making my heart clench as I stepped towards our son's bedroom. Something seemed to be up..I began to worry it was about the decision we made..wondering if Johnnie was having second thoughts already.

I slowly opened the door, the sight before me causing my body to flood with so many emotions as I found Johnnie. She had one hand inside Everett's crib, her fingers brushing his chubby cheek as she sang to him softly. It was an image that will be burned into my memory forever..just seeing how much she loves our son..and the way she looks at him was enough to make me want to cry. That must be karma for making fun of Ben..

Fuck..she was such a great mom though..and seeing that..it made me love her so much more.

"Baby." I whispered, coming up behind her as I placed my hand on her back, rubbing it gently.

Johnnie turned her head, peering up at me as she gave me a sad smile.

"Let's go talk in here." I said, glancing towards Everett as Johnnie nodded in agreement.

She bent down, kissing our son on the head before taking my hand and leading me out of the room.

I wasn't sure what to think, but the last thing I expected was to see the text that waited on Johnnie's phone.

I read it, scoffing in response as I saw my wife chewing her lip nervously.

My first response was to say hell no..but that's just me. Heather is toxic as hell..and the fact that she asked to meet up with Johnnie and her family, it makes me feel like there has to be some type of hidden agenda.

What could Heather get out of this? Does she need money? Is she trying to get information for my dad on what's happening with the company? I went through every possible scenario in mere seconds.

"What do you think?" Johnnie asked me nervously before turning off her phone.

"Well..I think I should be the one asking you that." I responded, my hand reaching out and pulling my wife into my lap. "I'm not really sure what to think..I was hoping you would have all the answers." She confessed, making me chuckle.

I glanced down, my hand grabbing Johnnie's as I looked at the tattoo that was etched into her ring finger. Often times I find myself tracing it when we have deep conversations..it seems to calm both of us.

"That means you haven't shut it down completely then?" I asked, making her shrug before sighing.

"I know I probably should say no..I just...I feel like deep down, a part of me is curious to hear what she has to say. What could she possibly want to meet up for? She was the one who chose to move away..and all that stuff with your dad.." She trailed off, making me pull back to get a better look at her.

"Hey, there is no right or wrong way to handle this. I know you still have a lot of unanswered questions. So maybe this is your chance to get through that babe..to finally move on. But, I would like to go with you..I know bed and your dad will be there.." I added, making Johnnie turn in my lap until she was straddling me.

"I would love for you to come..if you want to of course." She said, seeming relieved that I offered.

"Good, then it's settled. We will go and see what the witch has to say..besides...I kind of want to see your dad tear into her. She has avoided him up to this point."

I swear I would pay money to see that..having Neal just ripping Heather a new one for f*****g over his kids. It's going to be damn sweet..

I better text Alder and tell him about the latest. He is going to want the play-by-play.

After Johnnie got that off of her chest..everything felt so much lighter..and that was when the real fun started. I offered to take her to work this morning to get a little extra time together and then I was going to head over to my mom's and spend most of the day there.

"Pick me up at 5?" She whispered agaisnt me as I nodded my head yes.

"Make sure to send lots of pictures of Everett, oh..and ones of you too...preferably shirtless." She added just before jumping out of the car and smiling at me broadly.

I couldn't help but shake my head in disbelief.

And everyone thinks I'm the horndog..my wife has more shirtless picks of me than clothed ones, I swear. Then there are the other ones she asks for..yeah..those ones go into a password protected file, I will just say that much.

I rolled the back window down, letting Johnnie say goodbye to our son as she ran over to my side quickly, kissing me once again.

"I love you, have a good day okay?" I said sweetly, making her nod as she pulled away and went to walk inside.

That's when I suddenly saw someone approached her, my eyes narrowing as the blonde haired guy waved towards my wife happily.

"That asshat better be Steven.." I grumbled outloud..and right on cue..I got a text.

From Wifey: Stop glaring..this is Steven, the guy I told you about yesterday..the one who is definitely not into women.. Johnnie sent, making me sigh as I began writing back while Everett started to babble something in the back.

To Wifey: Good..he better keep it that way..also, maybe don't wear those pants next time..they make your a*s look too good.

I sent with a frown..I didn't even know what I was saying..but that jealous part of me would always be there. It has been since we were kids..Johnnie seems to take it in strides..and when it's too much, yeah, she definitely doesn't let me get away with it.. "Okay buddy, you ready to go see Grandma now?" I asked happily before starting up the car and glancing back towards Everett.

He just clapped his hands and started to babble again..

Then those babbles began to make sense.

"Azz..Azz.." He repeated, causing my eyes to widen. Shit..he must've heard me when I called that guy an asshat.

Whoops..well..hopefully he forgets about that one before Johnnie gets home..
