For Jan, Wendy, Jo and dear Sherry, who out of the goodness of her heart donated two web pages to me.
Thanks guys, and thank you Sherry for being such a special person.
Chris could feel his eyes burning. He'd been driving for hours and they weren't too far from home now. Seven men crammed into a six-seat SUV was a strain at best, but add to that a week-long seminar and a long drive home and it was truly a miracle no one had lashed out. It had been quiet for about ten minutes, Chris figured JD had either fallen out or fallen asleep...luckily the latter was the case. Buck however was having none of it."How can he fall asleep? He's the youngest for cryin' out loud...why is he the only one asleep?"
JD stifled a chuckle as he kept his eyes closed.
Josiah leaned back to take a look.
"Leave the poor boy be, Bucklin...it's exhausting being young."
"In comparison to what?" Buck grumbled. "He's had a week of lazing around, no shoot-outs, no car-chases, no kids...aw poor boy...must be plum tuckered out, doin' a whole load of nothin'" Buck leaned in close to JD's ear as he spat out the last word.
Dunne snorted in a failed attempt to stifle a laugh.
"Ha...knew you were faking, squirt."
The others smiled or shook their heads. JD opened one eye.
"Get the hell away from me you P...I...A."
Buck frowned, "What's a P...I...A?"
JD sat up and leaned in just in front of the brunet's face. "Pain In The Ass."
As the others snickered, Buck feigned hurt.
"Oh...that's harsh. I care for you, look out for you, put up with yer eatin' habits..."
"Wind me up, slap my head, call me squirt, NEVER LET ME SLEEP!" JD retorted.
"Are you listening to this guys?" He turned to JD and cuffed him.
"Ow...see...see what you do...like I said...Pain..."
"Don't say it," Buck warned.
"In..."
"Last warning."
Dunne grinned. "...the Ass."
As Wilmington mad a lunge for the younger man and the others took turns in either trying to pull them apart or cheer them on, Chris sighed.
"Oh for the Love of...KNOCK IT OFF!"
Pulling apart, both men pointed warning fingers at each other. Vin's cell rang.
"Hi Kel...huh? Any particular reason? only we're all kinda tire...okay baby, see you soon."
All eyes were on the Texan.
"Trouble?" Chris asked, unconsciously putting his foot down harder on the gas.
"Vin...is there something we should be concerned about?" Ezra wondered.
"Is someone sick or hurt?" asked Nathan.
JD sucked in a breath, "Hurt?...Vin? "
"Stay calm, brothers," Josiah said, more than a little unnerved himself.
"Let him speak," Buck ordered, just as desperate to hear the news. Tanner shrugged.
"Don't think there's a problem...Kel asked if we'd all come to my house before we head for our own homes."
A little concerned at the request, the seven men settled into an uneasy silence for the final half-hour of their journey.
~~~
As the SUV approached the Tanner homestead an audible sigh of relief could be heard. The porch lights twinkled and all seemed calm. As soon as Chris pulled up seven men alighted from the vehicle in double- quick time, Vin pushed open the front door and they all jumped.
"SURPRISE!"
"WELCOME HOME!"
"DADDY!"
All the Larabee Seven Ladies were standing in the main room, surrounded by balloons and streamers and a huge welcome home banner. Kelli had a twin in each arm, Andi and Jason at her sides but clearly desperate to burst forward, as were Grace, Caleb, Maria, Sarah, Joanne, Terrel, Lilah and Daisy.
As one they all surged, and all hell broke loose as each father prepared to catch his eager children.
~
Buck went down on one knee and opened his arms to receive Caleb, Maria and Sarah, all four laughing as they connected. Buck hugged and chuckled and somehow scooped up all three, struggling over to Inez as the beautiful Mexican's eyes sparkled with amusement and love. Buck placed the children down on the floor and bent to kiss Tannis, as she lay in her mother's arms. He then leaned in to Inez and whispered in her ear, kissing it softly.
"God, but you're a sight for sore eyes."
"Just thinking the same thing," she sighed as she nuzzled his cheek.
~
Josiah caught Joanne mid run and swept her up into his arms. He gave her a squelchy kiss that made her giggle. He was at Mallory's side in seconds and kissed her tenderly on the lips. She leaned against his broad chest.
"Welcome home, Sanchez," she breathed.
Josiah tickled Adam as he sat on his mother's right hip.
"It certainly will be," he sighed, contentedly.
~
Ezra walked toward Barbara who met him mid-way. They kissed and held each other tightly.
"I love you, Standish," she smiled up at him.
Ezra cupped her beautiful face in his strong hands and kissed her nose. "Oh my sweet darling I have missed you so." They stood in a tight embrace for some time, oblivious to the pandemonium around them as they only had eyes for each other.
~
Chris was tracing every line of Cody's face as Grace clung to his neck and chattered endlessly. Larabee surveyed the scene around him and hugged his children closer as he smiled toward his eldest daughter. It was good to be home.
~
Nathan held a squirming Terrel in his arms as he approached his beautiful wife and baby daughter. After a tender kiss with Rain, he kissed Ronesha and tickled Terrel.
"Is everyone okay?" he asked as he stared into Rain's eyes.
"We are now," she beamed.
~
Andi and Jason almost had Tanner off his feet but the agile Texan averted disaster and swept them into his arms, struggling slightly. After asking if they'd been good he returned them to the floor and leaned in to kiss Bren and Trey. Kelli locked eyes with her Texan and they kissed for a long moment, savoring being close again.
"Love you Tanner," Kelli whispered as she stroked his face.
"Missed you, baby," he said back, smiling as he ran his fingers through her hair.
~
Lilah and Daisy practically launched themselves at their father as Casey winced, fearful they might hurt his still recovering surgery incision. JD deftly caught them and spun the two squealing girls until all three were dizzy. He put them down on the floor and they chuckled as they toppled gracefully to the floor, a little unbalanced from the twirling.
In two steps JD was in front of Casey and pulled her into a passionate kiss and embrace, completely ignoring Buck's exaggerated coughing as he savored every second. Since he had almost died, JD had taken life by the scruff of it's neck and shook it vigorously, living every moment as if it were his last. He wanted his wife to know he needed her, his children and his brothers to exist as much as he needed oxygen to breathe, but he wasn't planning on kissing any of his brothers passionately anytime soon. As they breathlessly pulled apart they both smiled.
"Love you," they said together, then giggled.
Intimate reunions over, they all proceeded to intermingle as they eventually settled at the food table and enjoyed supper together.
~~~
Finally saying their goodbyes outside the Tanner house, the women and children were heading toward cars as seven men stood together before heading home. Without a word, Chris positioned his hand in front of him toward the centre of the circle he and his brothers had formed and one by one each man placed his own hand on top.
"See ya in the mornin' guys."
They all nodded as they dropped their hands and headed for their families. It had been an exceptional homecoming...in fact, it had been truly...Magnificent. ~~~ On the short drive back to Nettie's and their home, the twins promptly fell asleep. JD had been watching them; he had missed them so much. JD then turned his attention to his wife as she drove. He studied her profile, while his body reacted to the thoughts playing in his head. Thoughts of Casey Dunne stretched out naked on their bed while he showed her just how much he had missed her. Casey caught the look, smiling inwardly and shuddering at what exactly that look meant. As they pulled into their driveway and stopped, she gasped. She wasn't expecting her husband's hand to reach under her skirt and brush gently against her bare thighs.
"JD...I'm driving," she admonished, half-smiling and almost willing him to...'Oh God'...she took a tiny sharp breath in.
JD chuckled at the reaction and removed his hand. "Not going commando tonight?" he smirked, "and actually baby...you just pulled in."
Casey blushed, causing JD to shudder himself, as his body ached for her to be in his arms.
~
Once safely parked, they each took a slumbering child and entered the house. The first thing they saw was a note on the kitchen countertop from Nettie, informing them she had gone to bed and that she would be taking the twins shopping with her tomorrow, so JD and Casey could spend some time together. The young man smiled.
"She must've read my mind."
The petite brunette looked lovingly at him. "Mine too."
In less than ten minutes, both girls were diapered, in their nightclothes and safely down for the night. They checked that the baby monitors were operating and quietly left the twins' room hand in hand. With Nettie's room on the far side of the house, the two young lovers were more than ready for their hopefully uninterrupted special time together.
~
Just as they reached their bedroom JD could stand it no longer and pulled Casey toward him. Her need as desperate as his, she clung to him as they kissed fiercely, panting and moaning with desire as their hands traveled hungrily over their clothed bodies. Somehow they managed to get through their bedroom door, closing it with a light thud. JD pressed his wife back against it to free his hands as his lips kissed her throat and neck. While his one hand held her arms above her head his other hand pulled at her skirt until it dropped silently to pool on the floor at her feet, all the while neither partner breaking contact for a moment as lips kissed, nipped and sucked hungrily.
"JD..."
Casey sighed softly as JD stoked her ass-cheeks while removing her panties and whimpered as his fingers teased her erect clitoris. Not to be outdone she brought her hands down over her man's back and quickly unbuttoned his jeans. In seconds shorts and jeans were off and Casey took a shuddering breath as his swollen cock rested against her thighs and his lips and tongue sucked and licked at her arched neck.
Breaking contact for a moment, JD placed his hands under his wife's ass and hoisted her up. She locked her arms around his neck and eagerly wrapped her legs around his waist as both their bodies screamed for release. Making a small adjustment in Casey's position, JD penetrated and Casey arched her head back and gasped at the delicious feeling.
"I love you, Casey."
They looked at each other and kissed tenderly, almost honoring the moment, then seconds later JD jerked, gently at first as he used the door to support Casey's back. Kissing more frantically now, Casey began a rocking movement and they both gasped and whimpered as they reached their peaks. JD thrust and Casey screamed into his shoulder as her body quivered with ecstasy.
"Oh God..." JD's body went weak as his head exploded with lights and his body shook from the fierce orgasm. His cheek rested on Casey's head as control slowly returned.
Panting with the exertion they stayed like that for a minute. JD loved the start of their love-making. They had learned before they were married that the pure lust they initially felt when they spent the night together left no leeway for gentle petting and preparation and they simply gave in to their desires. Once sated...the real fun began.
~~~
Still as one JD turned and walked them to the bed, all the while kissing and nuzzling, though less frenetically now. This was playtime and both of them intended to relish every second.
Releasing herself from JD's spent member, Casey dropped her feet to the floor and gazed lovingly into his eyes.
"I just need to clean up a little, I'll be right back," she whispered.
JD nodded and watched her walk away. He stripped off his shirt and toeing off his sneakers to land Lord knows where, he pulled the bedcovers back and lay naked on the bed, his cock already beginning to revive as he watched the bathroom door. When Casey came out she was also naked, her long hair draped teasingly over her breasts and shoulders and the young tech smiled at the beautiful woman walking toward him.
~
Casey checked herself over in the mirror one more time, smiling at a few marks JD had left in the throes of passion and with a final flick to her hair, left the bathroom. She saw JD smiling at her and her heart almost bursting with the love that filled it. Only recently she had been so afraid that he would die and she would never get to hold him like this again. That thought uppermost in her mind, she stood next to the bed, bent over and kissed him.
Not sensing the moment, JD grabbed his lover around the waist and flipped her over his body to land the other side of him.
Casey giggled, "JD...watch your back."
He smiled that smile that had her hooked from day one. "My back's fine, Case." He went a little serious.
"Buck thought I was sleeping in the car...in reality, I had started to think of home, the girls...you..." He stroked her face and she leaned into his touch, her eyes closing for a second.
"...baby...I want this night to be for you. You always..." he actually blushed, "...take care of me. Please let me do this for you."
Before she could even respond and remind him he had only been less active due to his surgery, JD was kissing her passionately, but with none of the urgency from before. Her body responded as she returned his kiss, tongues exploring as lips moved to find every sensitive spot. A tiny gasp escaped her when JD's hand began traveling down her body and he thrilled at the feel of silky skin heating as his fingers brushed across it. Sensing his wife's responses as much as feeling them, he rolled her onto her back, while his lips followed where his hands had been. Casey sighed, groaned and arched, her skin feeling as if on fire while the love of her life worked his way to her inner thighs. She wantonly opened her legs and wasn't disappointed as a soft warm tongue penetrated her most delicate areas, causing her to writhe with pleasure, her legs opening even wider to allow better access. A touch to her clitoris sent her crazy and she completely missed the yelp from JD as she pulled his hair in an effort to encourage him to bring her to completion.
Sensing his wife was losing control, Dunne moved back up her body with his lips and returned to her mouth. Casey was just about to complain when clever fingers resumed where his mouth once was and she squeaked and writhed in an attempt to ensure the fingers did their job. JD was watching his wife with rapture, his member now fully erect as her actions excited him. Suddenly Casey let loose a sob, while her body convulsed with pleasure. As she came down from her orgasm, she wrapped her arms around JD's neck and kissed him with such love, he felt a little emotional. At last, she opened her eyes and gazed at him.
"Thank you," she whispered and began to kiss his chest as she started to work her way down. He pulled her back toward him gently and kissed her nose.
"Nu uh...your night, remember?" He smiled at the frown on her face.
"But...you just did...JD I want to make love to you...oh..."
Despite her recent release Casey could feel her body responding instantly while her husband sucked, teased and nipped at her erect nipples. Knowing his wife was suitably prepared, JD draped himself over the top of her and allowed his cock to tease the entrance to her soaked intimate spot while relentlessly kissing her. He finally looked into her eyes, resting on his elbows, their fingers entwined. The return look and movements beneath him told JD she was ready and keeping eye contact he pushed his rigid member deep inside her.
Casey couldn't believe how ready she was for JD to penetrate and opened her legs wide to receive him. As soon as he was in she wrapped her legs around him and thrilled at the fullness. He rocked gently and she gasped and shuddered all at once.
"Take me to Heaven my love, my heart," she breathed.
Those words...he loved when she spoke to him almost poetically, as well as exciting the easterner and he smiled.
"I love you with all my heart and soul Casey Dunne."
She tightened her legs in expectation. JD drew out of her body to rest at her entrance then he thrust, slowly at first then more intensely as they found their rhythm. JD wasn't sure how much time Casey needed, but her frantic rocking alerted him to the fact she was closer to the edge than he had anticipated. He thrust even harder to catch up and soon they were calling out each other's names while reaching their own personal Heaven, as one.
Collapsing with pleasure and exhaustion, they remained coupled as JD rolled to their side pulling Casey with him. Reluctant to move, Casey stayed joined, her leg draped over JD's as she snuggled into her husband's clammy body, hers no less moist as they panted with the exertion and emotion of their union. And that was how they fell asleep.
~
A few hours later Casey awoke to find that despite their positions remaining, her body had naturally ejected her husband's now flaccid member. She looked at her sleeping lover's face and her heart fluttered. She never thought of her husband as handsome, to her, he was beautiful. Despite his masculine facial appearance, his features were soft and boyish, especially when he slept and she almost felt she wanted to protect him as much as he wanted to protect her. She gazed at him and sighed, yes...beautiful, both in body and spirit. God must really love Casey Wells, she thought, because he had found a way to guide her to this man she loved.
~~~
While the first murmurs of the twins waking burbled through the monitor, Casey was just coming from the bathroom after showering. JD had instantly awoken on hearing them but smiled at his wife at the next sound over the speakers.
"Ya'll just relax. I have the girls. I'll bath them and give them their breakfast and we'll go shopping." Nettie's tone left no room for argument. "I've called Christopher and he's assured me as long as JD's in work by noon he won't shoot him. Apparently everyone's getting a late start today. I'll see you for dinner."
Dunne blushed at the thought that his older brother might have guessed what he and Casey had been doing last night. Casey sat on the bed next to him as she towel-dried her long dark hair. She noticed JD's body reacting and shook her head.
"We went too far last night JD...you're still recovering." She kissed him softly. "Thank you. And I warn you in advance...you will be repaid... in full."
JD groaned as his cock stiffened and he closed his eyes. "Casey...don't DO that," he whined then opened his eyes to look when an amazing sensation overwhelmed him. Casey had taken his penis into her mouth and was teasing him. She stopped and moved up to kiss his mouth.
"This is a little taster for you." She smiled and resumed her position, taking him fully to suck him dry and make him groan in ecstasy.
When he had fully recovered, he patted the bed and she lay next to him.
"If I promise no sex, can we just lay here and cuddle for a while?" he begged.
She chuckled. "Just make sure you have time to shower and change," she reminded.
For the next hour they kissed, touched and caressed, and despite their best efforts not to, they made love, softly and slowly and gently.
~
Just as he was putting his sneakers on, the phone rang. JD answered.
"Hey Buck."
"Seeing as you're on light duties an' all, I thought I'd come over and drive ya to work, that's providing, of course, you can still walk."
Dunne chuckled at the inference and hoped Buck hadn't realized his comments had caused JD's features to redden yet again. "Mighty kind of you, big brother, and yes...I can still walk."
"Just thought I'd check," Buck laughed "See ya in twenty."
As he replaced the phone and searched for his other sneaker JD smiled. This sure had been one hell of a homecoming. He almost couldn't wait to go away again!
The End
