“You scared the fuck outta me babe, that shit’s a no-no. From now on I’m keeping you close.”
His hand played with the new necklace around my neck. I looked down at the infinity diamond pendant as he studied it.
“What’s this?”
“I got it for you, you’re not allowed to take it off ever understand? I have the matching bracelet, see.”
He showed me the thick links that wrapped around his wrist with the same infinity.
“You done in here?” At my nod he picked me back up and took me back out to the room where the others were waiting for us.
“Okay babe you rest while I get someone on that burger and call our friends and let them know you’re awake. I’m sure they’re all dying to see you.” He was gone for five minutes before he came rushing back into the room.
I realized it was delayed reaction and not another crisis that made him do that. I think it was going to take him a while. “So, how soon before I can get out of here?”
“Well, the doctors said everything looked okay, but they’d feel more comfortable keeping you here another day at least.
“Mom, but I’m not sick and I feel fine. The wounds don’t even really hurt and they’ll give me a prescription won’t they? So can I please go please, please, please?
“I don’t think...”
“Sure honey, if you want out of here we’ll make it happen.”
“Thanks dad.” He smoothed mom’s hair in apology for cutting her off, but he would know how being here was making me nuts.
“But what about the plastic surgeon, I thought...”
“He’s already seen her and scheduled her first appointment honey you know that. Besides there’s nothing else for him to do until the wounds at least start to heal.”
“I guess you’re right, I just don’t want there to be any complications. But if you two thinks it’s fine I guess...”
“Actually Mrs. Claiborne, I was thinking of taking Sian home with me. If you’ll remember, she was going to spend last Friday night with me...”
“Yes but that’s before she was hurt.”
It turned into one long discussion and I could see my parents struggling to give me space. And though I understood their position having their daughter almost taken from them, I really wanted to be with my Jace.
By the time my burger and fries with a chocolate shake had arrived, they were no closer to a solution. My money was on Jace though; that boy doesn’t give up for anything.
While they haggled over me, I tried once again to wrack my brain for any scrap of memory of that night.
There was something there, but each time I got close it drifted out of reach again.
There had to be an explanation for me getting off that bus, if I could figure that out, then I could fit the other pieces of the puzzle together.
By the time I had finished gorging myself Jace had won the tug of war, now he was set to tackle the hospital staff to get me out of there sooner.
I had no doubt about the outcome. I was suddenly so happy to be alive I grabbed him and kissed him right there in front of our parents.
He held the back of my head and smiled down at me when I was through assaulting his tonsils.
“What was that for princess?”
“Thanks for finding me. You do know that we have to feed Jasper like prime rib for the rest of his life right.”
“Way ahead of you babe.” Our friends showed up not long after and there were tears and hugs and lots of questions.
Jace had his head together with Jared and Shane and the three of them seemed all hush-hush if you ask me. I wasn’t sure that that could be trusted but when I asked what they were up to, I was given the brush off.
Chapter 7
JACE
I was finally able to take her home and was just happy that I had her here with me, safe and sound. We’d both fought her parents to get her here, but in the end they’d been very understanding, which made it easier on all of us.
My parents fussed for a while when we got there of course. Mom had had Marisa cook some of Sian’s favorites, which she barely picked at and that only because I made her.
I guess the greasy burger on an empty stomach might not have been such a great idea, but it’s what she’d wanted.
I’m thinking after what she’s been through, she can have anything she wants, at least for the next little while.
“Mom, dad, I’m taking me baby upstairs to take care of her, we’ll see you guys in the morning. Mom you took care of that thing for me right?”
“Of course son, and if you two need anything before morning don’t hesitate. Sian it really is great to have you back with us where you belong.”
They both hugged her before I snatched her away and headed upstairs.
“Alone at last.” I kissed her again because I couldn’t seem to get enough of her taste. I hoped never a-fucking-gain to ever go through that shit.
I wasn’t about to give it anymore of our time tonight though, now it was time to start the healing process and I had just the thing.
“I’m giving you a massage, you’ve been lying in that bed for days you need it. Come with me.” I’d had mom get me a table like hers for my bathroom.
She’d offered to let us use hers but for what I had planned I didn’t think that was a good idea.
I led her by the hand into the spacious bathroom and over to the table. Mom had gone all out and even had a cabinet there with oils and massage wands.
Everything I could need to give my baby what she needed. I’d have to thank her later for going the extra mile for my baby.
“Let me help you.” I removed her clothes slowly, before helping her up onto the table to lie on her stomach.
“Just relax okay, I’ll get some music.” I used the remote to turn on some slow moody instrumental music, before getting the oil ready next to her.
I got up between her slightly parted thighs and knelt with my knees on the towel that I had placed over her ass.
Lifting her arms I pulled them back, stretching the muscles in her back before releasing her back down slowly and doing it again.
I repeated the move a few times until she was loose, holding the pose longer each time. “Relax now baby.”
I poured some oil over her thighs and massaged from her lower leg up to her ass. Bending each knees after, as I rubbed my fist into the tense muscles of her thighs.
Both legs were treated to the same so that she was a slippery girl by the time I was done.
I took my time and moved gently even though it had been so long since I’d had her that I was ready to lose my shit.
Finally I worked her onto her back and oiled and massaged the front of her legs up to her pussy, which I massaged with my oily fingers, getting her even more slippery and wet.
She had to know what was coming next as I looked down at her. “Feels good?” I whispered the words, almost afraid to break the spell.
“Uh-hmm.” She smiled up at me even as I lowered my head to take her lips. My fingers kept playing with her pussy lips, and going inside to tease, as I tongued her mouth mercilessly.
She reached up and pulled my sweats down to my hips so that she could reach my cock, which was already halfway to fullness. Her hand on my dick felt amazing, like the best thing in the world. I could never have lived without feeling that again.
I kept rubbing her pussy as she stroked me, getting pre-cum all over her hands and chest.
Pulling away from her, I moved to the head of the table and lowered my straining cock over her mouth.
She tongued my balls as I leaned over and went back to fingering her pussy deep. I pulled off my shirt and prepared to fuck her, hoping that I had enough control not to hurt her.
She waylaid my plans though when she sucked my cock into her mouth, forcing to me to take action.
I lowered my head to her sweet cunt and we ended up in an unplanned sixty-nine. I had to remember to stay up on my toes to keep my weight off of her though.
“I have to be inside you baby, now.” Her pussy made loud squishing sounds as I ran my hand over her one last time before turning around on the table and positioning myself over her, with my cock at her pussy’s entrance.
Her soft cries were music to my ears as I teasingly rubbed my cock against her slit and clit, while sucking her tits.
I made my way down her body for one more taste of that sweet nectar as she ran her hands through my hair.
“Now.” I eased into her gently. I was very aware that my cock was the hardest it has ever been and I could hurt her if I weren’t careful.
Pulling one of her legs high on my hip and spreading the other off to the side on the mattress, I stroked into her pussy as we both moaned and sighed.
When her body had adjusted to my fullness inside her, I stroked harder, until the table rocked beneath us and her moans got louder.
She came hard on my cock and I felt it down to my toes. “More.” I turned her over to her hands and knees and being careful of her injuries slammed into her hard and fast.
“Fuck I’m cumming, fuck.” I reached beneath her for her clit and pulled and pressed on it until I felt her start to build again.
“That’s it, cum on my cock, cum with me.” She pushed back hard and came as I blasted away inside her.
My dick was still hard and I knew it would be a while before he was back under control again.
All my fear and anger was bottled up inside and this was the only release I sought. I eased out of her body and turned her around into my arms.
“I’m going to take care of you now.” I gave her a bath as I let myself cool down, before heading into the shower to clean myself up.
I’d gotten some of her oil on me not to mention her juices, but those I didn’t mind having drying on my cock.
When I was done I lifted her out of the tub and walked her through into my room.
I remembered something that I’d thought of while I was watching her in that hospital bed, being thankful that I had the chance to see her again when I’d begun to think she might be gone from me forever.
“I’m taping our lovemaking sessions from now on.” She looked at me curiously.
“Why?”
“Because when you were gone, I thought I would go mad for the sight of you. I’m never going to be without the sight or the sound or the taste of you ever again.”
“Jace...”
“No Sian, you don’t understand, the fear, the fucking not knowing, never again.” I thought I’d got this all out of my system but apparently not.
I set up the camera as she watched before going back to the bed and her. “I love you, you have nothing to fear from this. I won’t tape us each time we’re together like this, but I need this.”
She nodded her assent and I nibbled on her ears and neck as I sought to distract her.
It didn’t take long to have her mind turned to more pleasurable things and she was soon straddling my cock.
“That’s it baby, take me all the way in.” We fit perfectly together with my arms locked tight around her, and her pussy milking my cock.
I pulled her on and off my cock, going slow so as not to hurt her. She moved like my Sian, riding my cock like she could feel it, making all those sexy little sounds that made me crazy.
Her body was one long lean line of perfection as she moved over me, fucking herself on my cock.
“Turn on your side babe, I like taking you that way.” I helped her get on her side with her back to me so that I was spooning her.
“Tell me if I go too deep.” I lifted her top leg and drove my cock into her depths. Her screech had me pulling back in haste until she reached back and held me in place.
“No don’t stop Jace it feels so good.” I started a wild thrusting into her body as she moaned out her pleasure.
I didn’t want to keep her that way too long though, so I turned her to her back in the classic missionary, only I lifted her legs around my ass.
I kissed her hard as I pounded into her; her juices coating my cock told me she was enjoying this almost as much as I was.
“Right there Jace, oh yeah, I can feel you.”
Whoa, that was new, a vocal Sian in bed. I kept hitting the spot and she kept cumming.
“Fuck babe you’re so fucking wet.” I cold feel her pussy juice splashing against the cheeks of my ass and my inner thighs with each powerful thrust of my cock into her.
“Too much, I’ve gotta cum.” Her pussy was pulling me towards climax long before I was ready.
I slammed into her over and over as I felt my balls heat with my jizz. “Fuck baby.” It felt like I had a tsunami in there just waiting to escape into her pussy.
I came so hard my back locked and I stopped breathing for half a minute easy.
I was blowing like a steam engine when my body finally stopped jerking and twitching on top of her; I could still feel her pussy spasm around my cock.
I looked down at her and she was out. I laughed and pulled out before lying next to her and taking her in my arms. My phone chimed with a text and I reached over to grab it.
Now my mind went back to planning and plotting. She had known her attacker or so she believed, even though she hadn’t seen their face.
That was enough for me; I still held out that Mandy was behind this. I’d set things up so that she would know that her little ploy hadn’t worked, that Sian was alive and awake, and had just received word that the trap had been set.
Now I will wait and see what plays she makes, then I would know once and for all if she really was involved or not.
When my phone rang I kissed her lips softly before rolling out of bed to get it.
I saw the name there and my blood boiled. My first inclination was to tell her to get fucked, but by the time I hit answer I’d had a change of heart. That wouldn’t serve my purpose, and nothing was more important to me than making the guilty pay.
“What do you want?”
“Well, you wouldn’t accept my help the last time so I’m trying again. I heard that your friend is going to be okay...”
“Cut the shit, we both know you don’t care about her so what is it that you’re really after?”
“Jace really, I really don’t know what has gotten into you. First you just dropped me like yesterday’s news without a proper explanation I might add, and now that I’m trying to mend fences, you won’t let me.”
This bitch was so full of shit it was a wonder it wasn’t coming out of her ears.
“Okay, go ahead, I’m listening.” I listened for the next fifteen minutes, which was fourteen minutes more than I could stomach, but if I was going to get anything out of her, I was going to have to play nice.
I played the disgruntled ex for the first half of the conversation until I finally softened and pretended to let her lure me in with her saccharine sweet bullshit.
She must really be in a state if she thought I was buying her shit. It was very telling that I was receiving this phone call just minutes after learning that she had taken the bait.
This more than anything else thus far, proved to me that she was most definitely involved.
I hung up the phone with a taste of disgust in my throat and determination in my heart.
Every word had driven the nail deeper into her coffin. She had tried to play up the concerned citizen bit, but her true nature can’t help but show through, and I knew all I needed to within five minutes.
I waited another half hour before deciding it was fine to go. Sian was safe here, I could slip away and do what needed to be done and be back before she woke up.
With one last kiss to her brow I got dressed and left the room. Taking the stairs that led off of my balcony, I snuck my way to the garage, making sure to stick close to the house so that I didn’t trip any of the security lights.
I didn’t want my parents to awaken and realize that I was go
ne. The less people who knew about my little errand the better.
I rolled the car down the drive with the lights off and when I reached my destination I parked a little ways away in a copse of trees where it was hidden from sight.
It had been a while since I’d done this but I’m sure nothing had changed. I made my way stealthily through the dark my mind set on one thing.
Chapter 8
MANDY
How could everything be going so wrong? I stormed around my room destroying everything in my path as I felt the first stirrings of fear.
After my conversation with Jace I wasn’t sure if he suspected or not, but how could I chance it?
He’d sounded pretty amiable there at the end, so maybe I’ve bought myself some time, but how long? No, it wasn’t in me to sit and wait for a noose to be tied around my neck.
I knew I shouldn’t have trusted that idiot with this. Grabbing my phone I called him. “Meet me down at the pier, fifteen minutes.”
I didn’t wait for an answer just left the house and headed out in my car. I didn’t want him coming here just in case someone was watching the house.
“And just who the hell would be watching the house Mandy? Don’t go getting paranoid already, that’s the surest way to fuck things up even more than they already were.”
If that idiot Kelly hadn’t called me when she did I would never have known. I wonder how much the Saunders had paid to keep it so hush-hush that it had taken two days for me to know that she was alive and in a coma in the hospital.
Then again, my little impromptu weekend trip could be the reason for me not hearing the news. You’d think one of my many friends would’ve called and shared.
Now she was awake and there’s no telling what she was going to say if anything, when the fog wore off, fuck.
I hadn’t stayed on the phone much longer after hearing the news. I’d had a minor meltdown and had needed a little something.
I had to get my thoughts together and plan. Now I felt the panic threatening to choke me, but I hadn’t come this far to lose everything because of her. No way in hell.
“Think Mandy think.” Okay, if she saw who attacked her that could somehow lead back to me since he wasn’t the most trustworthy of beings. And why didn’t I think of that before I got him involved?
