Twisted Saga ReGenesis (Book 3 of 3)

Chapter 1 - Leaving

Gwen stands there, unable to believe that something has caused the rare trait in her husband's eyes to rise to the surface.

"Babe, you okay? Your eyes, they're yellow."

Josh barely dips his head as his glow burns a hole through her.

"Remembering all the shit I experienced here as a kid. You know I hate coming home. Every time we're here, something bad is about to happen."

Gradually his eyes return to their natural hazel color. Josh'sHis inner fury cools down before he approaches his wife. The sky above begins to cloud up with an occasional roll of thunder.

Josh takes Gwen under the pavilion, where they avoid getting drenched. They're stuck there for several minutes, but for Gwen, it doesn't matter since Josh has his arms wrapped around her torso and gently breathes in her ear.

"Welcome back, lover; you know when your eyes do that, it scares the living bejesus out of me." She reminds him before she lifts her arm, reaching behind his head to pull him in for a kiss.

All the time they share a passionate moment, a surprise guest arrives at the house. Someone who's traveled from Wyoming to share his pleasure over the final favor President Edward Burns II gifted to Josh before retirement.

The guest of honor arrives at the house to see no one has returned from the funeral. He stretches in his rental car to retrieve his cell phone.

After her phone begins to ring, Gwen's unaware since she left her phone in her SUV. Benton leaves a message and taps his foot on the floorboard while he waits for the return call.

"Come on, Gwen, what's taking so long?"

The rain lets up enough for the couple to head back down the path. Gwen's not in a rush to drive home. Josh can't wait to get away from Huntington. This is the one subject they never can agree on when it comes to their past.

The Mustang takes off like a bat out of hell, but Gwen notices her phone vibrates in the cupholder. She checks the voicemail and squeals after she plays the message.

She manages to turn around to take the only route she remembers back to the house, but she cannot beat Josh. Benton stands in the driveway, talking with him. It's a relief to see Josh laughing with her client, that became one of his friends.

Benton has dark skin and tall stature with his long pitch-black hair and pot belly frame. His dark eyes are enough to capture anyone's attention.

"Well, it's good to see this happening; the two of you have some fun! Benton, is everything alright? I was coming out in a few weeks to deliver the last contracts to have the lands granted back to you and your people." Gwen explains as she glides over to Josh.

"Yes, my dear friends, everything is fine, but I wanted to come here in person to say thank you. My people are most grateful for the generosity both you and Josh have shown us. The lands of our ancestors coming back to us means the world to all of us."

Josh tightens his grip and keeps Gwen against his body, signaling to her that he's ready to get her alone. In her subtle way, Gwen lets him know that she's ready for him to take her and violate her body all over again.

"Hey Benton, they shouldn't have ever torn y'all from those lands to begin. Plus, having the President is on your side, and one I can trust, I might add, but you have a great support system." Josh mentions.

"Yes, even if he is Seminole, but President Burns has our thoughts and hearts is all that matters. We can't thank any of you enough!" He says, walking up and embraces them in a hug.
