Wayward Son (Jensen Family #3) (19 page)

“How did Mr J hook you then?” Novak asked.

“We’d known each
other for years before we got
together, I’m his sister’s friend you see, I watched him grow up and by the
time he was fifteen he was absolutely stunning, he didn’t hook me, I hooked him
.
W
e had an on off relationship for quite some time. His marriage broke
up shortly after mine did, he arriv
ed on my doorstep one day with strawberries and c
hampagne, we’d messed up three bedrooms and both living rooms before I
agreed to date him, the rest is history
.
”

Novak turned to Paul, “Smooth Mr J, very smooth
.
”

As soon
as dinner was over Gavin took James and
Novak to their respective rooms, both boys dumped their bags and then joined
Gavin and Kiera in the television room. Kiera selected a DVD and they settled
down to watch the
film on the large squashy sofa
s
.
Kiera comf
ortable sitting between Gavin and James, Novak spreading
himself out on the smaller sofa opposite them.

“Have you heard back from the audition yet?” Kiera asked.

“No but some of the guys are coming tomorrow
,
so I’ll try and drag some information
out of the
m then
.
”

“You’re joining another band?” James asked.

“Trying to
.
”

“Traitor
,
” Novak sat up
.
“We’re your band
,
” he gestured to himself and James.

“There’s just the small matter of geography preventing us from practising
.
” Gavin put in
.
“These guys are going
into Battle of the Bands and really need a singer
.
”

“They’d be mad to turn you down
.
” James said
.
“You have an
incredible voice
.
”

“Thanks James
.
”

“I’m disappointed Gav, I’m going to have to find a new wing man
,
” Novak Sighed.

“I’ll always be your wing man,
moron
,
” Gavin replied flicking crisps at his
friend.

“Why do you call Gavin wing man?” Kiera asked Novak.

“Because,” Novak leant forward, “
We do EVERYTHING
together.
”

“We’ve had some fairly questionable adventures together
,
” Gavin chuckled.

“We’ve had loa
ds of questionable adventures
,
” Novak confirmed “And some very good
times, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for this guy
.
”

“Likewise
.
” Gavin
confirmed.

“What sort of adventures, or don’t I want to know?” Kiera enquired.

“How open minded are you?” Novak spoke.

“There isn’t much that shocks me
.
”

“In that case, we’ve done the usual stuff, you know, threesomes, magic
mushrooms, food colouring in the girls showers, things like that
.
”

“That’s tame stuff
,
” James put in
.
“These two are a nightmare when you get
them t
ogether for any length of time
.
”

“You don’t join in then?” Kiera asked James.

“Absolutely not, I’m the one who usually picks up the pieces
. These two just cause chaos and then stand back looking pretty.””

“We are both fine specimens.
” Novak jeered.
He rea
ched over and ruffled James’ hair,
“James here see himself as the ugly one, don’t you James?”

James knocked Novak’s hand off his head and rolled his eyes. “Compared to
you two I am.” He mumbled.

“I suppose you have seen all the goods.” Novak laughed.

“Shut
up Novak, I’m still trying to get that
image out of my head
.
” James closed
his eyes and pressed his fingers to his temples.
“I have no desire to ever see another man naked,” he shuddered. “Ever.”

“Anything I should be concerned about?” Kiera asked.

“No
.
”
both Gavin and Novak
hastily
replied.

“They’d had a memorable session with a number of girls after a gig one
night
,
” James explained
.
“I walked into Novak’s hotel room the
following morning to find lots of naked ladies sprawled pretty much everywhere,
it w
as a sight to behold. Gavin was draped over some
red head stark bollock naked and Novak was still at it with a little blond,
again stark bollock naked, not nice
.
”

“You should have joined in, there was more than enough for the three of
us and it was one hel
l of a night
.
” Gavin commented.

“I’m far more refined than either of you heathens
,
” James scoffed.

“You crashed out Gav, I had one hell of a night, and you were a bit of a
lightweight
,
” Novak laughed
.
“But that is one of the many reason why
I call him wing
man
.
”

“Kinda wish I’d known all that before I slept with you
,
” she told Gavin.

“Would it have made a difference?”

“Maybe, I’d just like to have had a little more background information;
you don’t give a lot away
.
”

“There isn’t really anything to give away
, I’m
just a normal regular guy
,
” he told her.

“Uhuh, threesomes?” she questioned.

“Ok so I’ve found myself at one end of a girl while Novak has been at the
other end on several occasions, doesn’t mean anything and you of all people
know I like sex, it rel
axes me. What happened when I
lived in Gloucester is history; I don’t do those things now
.
”

“Only cos you live with your
dad and he watches you like a h
awk
,
” Novak said
around a mouthful of Doritos .

“That’s part of it
,
” Gavin
confirmed
.
“But I’m a
different person now, you know that and you know why
,
” he warned his friend.

“Yeah, I do, sorry dude
,
” Novak shrugged
.
“Changing the subject, are you two an
item then?” he gestured to the pair sitting opposite him.

“Friends with benefits
.
” Gavi
n told him.

“Ex friends with benefits
,
” Kiera
corrected
.
“Gavin felt bad
being with me when he wants to be with Angel, he said it wasn’t fair on either
of us
,
” she explained.

“It wasn’t
,
” Gavin told
her.

“You’re young, free and single then?” Novak honed in
on Kiera.

“Yes
.
”

“Hmm, we may have to discuss this further, that’s if you don’t mind Gav?”

“Hey!” Kiera chimed in, “what are you asking him for?”

Novak grinned, “Er, wing man.” He offered as if that
explained
.

“I’m fine with it so long as Kiera is
.
”

“I’m
very cool with it
,” Kiera smiled then licked her lips, drawing Novak’s gaze
.

“Hey
,
” Novak grinned,
his expression one of a light bulb suddenly going on in his brain “Do you guys
remember that girl I used to date, er Sally?”

James and Gavin broke into a sho
rt lived
version of Mustang Sally.

“Yeah, yeah, Mustang Sally, damn that girl was fine
.
”

“What happened to her?” Gavin asked.

“She fell in love, sadly not with me, she’s married now, has a couple of
kids, wonder what her old man would think if he knew she
liked to be fucked on the outboard at full revs
,
” Novak laid back on the sofa grinning
at the memory.

“This girl was a student
,
” Gavin
explained to Kiera.  “Novak is a water ski instructor, she was one of his first
pupils, of course, she took one look at t
he Blond God
and decided instead of learning to water ski she’d just like to learn to ride
him
.
”

“She liked to sit on the cover of the outboard motor
,
” Novak picked up the story “She’d tell
me to rev it up while I was between her legs, I’d fuck her on the
motor at full revs
.
T
he bloody thing used to vibrate like mad so she’d get the full force of
the outboard at the same time as wrappi
ng her legs
around me, we’d bang
as the vibrations got her off and she
in turn did the same for me. I would have married tha
t
girl
,
” Novak sighed
.
“She had one hell of an imagination,
completely uninhibited
.
”

“He was heartbroken when she left him for another guy
,
” James told Kiera “Professes to have
never found another like her to push his boundaries
.
”

Gavin knew the purpose of
this story was to
challenge Kiera, as if Novak needed any help picking up girls
.
H
e wasn’t entirely comfortable with it but realised that neither of his
friends would do anything to hurt the young woman sitting beside him and Kiera
seemed to be more than
a little taken with Novak, she
would more than likely be his ideal match.
