The Billionaire's Secret Love Child(126)

John followed, throwing his horse to a gallop and giving chase. The look of happiness on his face was palpable.

I tried to follow suit, but I couldn’t even tell how to get the beast I rode to move more than an inch. And, after a moment passed, I climbed out of the saddle.

“Don’t worry about it,” said the stable hand, “there’s plenty more time for riding. I could lead you back to the house if you’d like to ride now.”

“It’s alright, I would just like to keep my feet on the ground for a while and get adjusted.” I said.

A car was parked nearby with a driver waiting. I couldn’t even see John and Maggie anymore. I sighed deeply and nestled into the back seat. After a few minutes of driving I managed to spy a house. Even from a mile away it looked massive and somewhat intimidating but at the same time it felt inviting.

The four story mansion hovered above the flat plain. The wood exterior looked weathered and rustic as though the house were a bit older. Off to the west I could see the stables where a few horses grazed nearby. In front of the large double doors that marked the entrance stood another man, dressed in jeans and flannel button-up he stood patiently waiting for the car to stop.

“Welcome to the Harris family mansion.” He said, opening the door.

He took my bags from the trunk of the vehicle and carried them as he led me inside.

“This house was built in the late 50’s for Mr. Edward Harris and Mrs. Betty Harris upon the arrival of their first son, John. They’ve since moved to a different house but John maintains the grounds and the family business.”

We continued on past the dining hall.

“As you can see the house has regularly been updated, we have our own generators and are completely energy independent.”

We began to climb the staircase the hooked around the back of the entry hall.

“John runs the family business, Harris Enterprises. A fortune 500 company specializing in many things, including: alternative energy, farming, housing, banking, private investment and imports and exports. You name a business, and the Harris family probably owns a stake in it.”

I could feel myself shake a bit at the knees as he continued talking. It seemed so surreal that I would meet someone like John and in a grocery store no less.

I snapped out of my thoughts as I was led into the room I’d be staying in. The room itself was easily larger than my entire apartment. Oak beams streaked across the ceiling and the balcony looked out upon the yard in the back.

“If you don’t mind I’ll take my leave.” he said before promptly exiting, leaving me alone in the palatial room.

I gazed off the balcony and took it all in. The ocean of grass and dirt felt lonely but in that loneliness I could feel that same sense of serenity I felt when looking out at the ocean. I was starting to understand how he felt about his home.

I heard a ruckus downstairs, Maggie and John had arrived from their ride. I tossed my luggage on my bed and left to join them.

“Your house is amazing, John.” Maggie said, “I wouldn’t mind coming back for another visit sometime in the future?”

“Well, it’s my best kept secret.” He replied.

“I can see that.” She said.

“You should see the rooms,” I chimed in from the staircase.

Maggie ran up the stairs and gave me a giant hug while whispering in my ear, “I want to marry this man.”

I felt sick hearing it. My feelings were welling up inside and I needed to let them out.

“I could go for a swim,” I said, “maybe you can take us to the pool for a bit?”

John nodded, “Get changed and meet me down here.”

Maggie and I ran upstairs, her room was right across the hall from mine and her luggage was already waiting for her in the room. Both of us had our suits on in no time and met downstairs.

I was jealous of Maggie, she had the most gorgeous figure and her swimsuit only accentuated it further. Her red hair bounced around her neck as she ran and her legs seemed to go all the way up to her neck.

Meanwhile, I was a bit shorter and much skinnier. Nothing ever felt flattering when I wore it, as I didn’t have much to show off. I covered myself with my towel in order to avoid the embarrassment of comparison.

John didn’t seem to mind and he was already in his swimsuit. It wasn’t fancy but he really didn’t need anything fancy to show off his figure. His abs seemed to go all the way down his hips and his slim swimsuit was just barely covering his manhood.

I could feel my mouth water, among other things, and threw my towel to a nearby chair. The water was warmer than I was used to and I liked it.

Maggie jumped in without a care. She was always impulsive and maybe that was part of the reason I liked having her around. The most impulsive thing I can remember doing is getting on a stranger’s jet and flying to Texas.

We chatted as we swam in his massive indoor pool. He talked with Maggie a lot while we swam and I just enjoyed my time. I lied on my back and just floated.

I liked to just float about relax my muscles. Before long Maggie and John were splashing each other in the pool. I couldn’t help myself anymore and I needed to get away. It was time for me to let them be.

I pulled myself from the pool and snagged my towel to dry off.

“Where are you going?” John asked.

“I think I’m going to change and go for a walk. Will I be able to get in later, or will the door be locked?” I asked.
