Josh's Destiny

Chapter 10

Sometime later Destiny's eyes fluttered open. She stretched languidly, like a satisfied cat. She sat up, holding the blanket so as to cover her bare breasts. Then it hit her, Josh was not beside her.

"Josh" she called and a few seconds later he entered the bedroom with a breakfast tray laden with fruit, toast, spreads, and coffee.

"Oh" Destiny sighed, "You bought my soul."

Josh grinned and put the tray across her lap. "I thought you might be hungry" he said as he carefully got in bed beside her. He had a towel wrapped around his waist, but he wasn't wet so he hadn't showered.

Destiny fixed herself a cup of coffee, and then waited on Josh to do the same. As they sipped the delicious brew Destiny asked, "What time is it?"

Josh shrugged his shoulders. "Who cares? We are not to be disturbed."

"I know, but..."

Josh looked at Destiny and he smiled a wicked smile. "When you're finished, we have round two coming up." Destiny noticed that beneath the towel, Josh was already tumescent. She grinned in return. "Suddenly, I'm not all that hungry...for food" she replied.

Josh stood up and took the tray, putting it down on the small table in the bedroom. "And now..." Before he could continue there was a loud banging at the door.

"Now who can that be?" Destiny asked, though she had her suspicions. So did Josh.

He didn't even bother to dress as he stalked to the door. "Who is it?" he called irritably.

"Jake, Sam, and Danny. Open the damn door!"

Josh sighed deeply as he unlocked and opened the door. Without waiting for an invitation, the three men entered the room and took seats in the spacious sitting room.

"No, that's okay, come on in and make yourselves at home." Josh crossed his arms and suddenly Sam giggled.

"What's so funny?" Josh demanded.

"You. Standing there, furious with your arms crossed, and you're wearing a towel."

"Just a minute" and Josh retreated to the bedroom and hurriedly dressed. He gave Destiny an apologetic look. She was already mostly dressed and she said quietly, "it's okay."

"Now" said Josh as he entered the sitting room, "What the hell is so urgent?"

It was at that point that Destiny entered with the tray and the men's mouths began to water. "There are only two cups for coffee..." It didn't matter as they attacked the food like sharks at a feeding frenzy. Destiny shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes as she looked at Josh.

When they had finished, Josh said, "Well?"

Jake finished licking the rest of the strawberry jam off his fingers, reached for a napkin, and then said, "In a minute. What's in the box?"

Josh had forgotten about the box until Danny brought it up from the floor where he had put it to accommodate Destiny's breakfast tray. Now, it sat on the edge of the coffee table, waiting to be opened.

"I haven't opened it yet."

Danny's eyes were gleaming, he loved presents. "Well" he said to Josh, "Open it already!"

Josh was still irritated by their intrusion and he asked, "Can't I ever have any privacy?"

Sam grinned and replied, "Not in this outfit, now open it."

Josh sighed and approached the box. He picked it up. It wasn't very heavy, and whatever was inside shifted slightly. He put it up to his ear and shook it gently.
