His Valuable Gift
His Valuable Gift
Prologue:
James Landis was not strikingly handsome nor he fabulously wealthy. He was, more often than not, tongue tied around women so couldn't claim to have a silver tongue. I do not have a six figure job, drive a fast sports car, or own a villa in the south of France.
But he was happy and completely happy.
He had the love of a woman he been in love with since he was just a boy of six years. He'd lost his mother to a tragic accident and had no father so he was been taken in by his mother's sister Rose Wilson. While she'd been a less than ideal replacement, her ten year old daughter Grace saved him from a life of misery and loneliness. His love for Grace just grew over the years as he did.
And grow he did. Now that he was almost in his twenties he was a big man, standing 6' 2" and 240 lbs of hard muscle. His genes and years of playing football in school had given him a strong body. He wasn't aggressive by any stretch of the imagination. Grace called him an innocent. He relied tremendously on her because he often found himself confused and troubled by people's behavior. He didn't recognize when he was being lied to nor did he understand why people did it. This often led to him being hurt or taken advantage of. He knew that wasn't normal but Grace never made him feel stupid or ashamed for his inability to understand. She was patient and explained things to him. She understood him better than anyone and he loved her with every fiber of his soul.
The truly incredible fact was that she loved him the same way.
They'd lived with her mother until Grace caught her sexually and emotionally abusing James. After the confrontation, Rose spitefully sold her house to move in with her boyfriend making them essentially homeless. While they were both adults at the time they would have been on the streets had it not been for another woman in James life.
Beth Thompson was the mother of one of James football teammates. Initially she seemed to be just attracted to his physical attributes but she confessed that she had fallen for his innocence and his sweet, gentle nature.
She'd later said that she never expected their relationship to advance beyond their mutual and powerful physical attraction and she'd resigned herself to that. She lived alone in a large mansion since her ex-husband and his son had unsuccessfully tried to kill her to collect the insurance money. She was lonely living alone in the big home and it was beginning to weigh heavily on her. When she heard that James and Grace were going to be out on the street she leapt at the chance to come to their rescue and ease her loneliness. Grace and James were stunned by her generosity and willingness to take them in.
When James discovered he was in love with Beth as well as Grace, it was Grace who announced it to Beth. Knowing him as intimately as she did, Grace was aware of his true feelings for Beth almost before he was. She wasn't threatened. She knew he loved her without reservation. She was also aware that Beth wasn't the only woman that he'd been intimate with. They, like Beth, had begun their relationships with him for the pure physical thrill of having sex with the big man but they'd all become attached to him... as he was to them.
James had been with Beth's best friend Angie Spencer, a widow, and their mutual friend Zoe Sandoval who was separated from her husband as he was serving a life sentence in prison. He'd also been with two other women in Beth's neighborhood, also her friends, Stephanie Mathews and Carolyn Patterson, both of whom were going through divorce proceedings. All continued to see James with Grace's blessings as long as they never abused James good nature or took advantage of his innocence. If she ever discovered they had manipulated him as Rose had done then their relationship with him was over.
Aside from being very busy at home, as James had his dream job working for Draco’s Heating and Cooling. The owner had paid for James to get his certification and nurtured his favorite employee as James work was second to none. While his unique mental state may have given him some socially challenging issues they also allowed him to focus on his task with an almost laser like precision. It was almost a savant state. He wasn't really clear on what all that meant but he knew he loved his job and for the first time in his life he was really good at something.
So he was happy. With the leaves gone and snow threatening to fall any day now, his very favorite time of year was rapidly approaching! Christmas! Now that he had so many more people to share it with James knew he had more reasons to be very merry indeed!
