Legally Bound 4: Allegations of Love
Page 4
The air around them starts to crackle with an energy you could taste. It had always been there through the years only compounding with time. Now that they were no longer hiding it from everyone it made the room pulse in its wake.
“I’m cool with that,” Marcus appears beside them and shrugs. “I plan to work from home for a few weeks to help out with Hannah.
“So what do you say, Jas? You’d be getting Pam out of a bind,” Nate asks with a raised brow.
“It’s fine with me,” Jasper shrugs letting his plans click into place in his head. His father had specifically asked him for a report on the weather in Aspen just this morning.
Marie wouldn’t be running anywhere once they got to this so called modeling gig. Jasper turns to scan the house for his father. Everyone had started to make their way into the house.
His eyes land on not only his father, but his Uncle Thomas and James as well. His father gives him a grin and the three lift their cognacs at him. Jasper bites his lip to stifle a laugh. These three are always up to something.
Chapter 6
“So you let my father and Uncle Earl talk you into helping out with their plan,” Nate chuckles later that evening as he kisses Tiffany and Tracey on the forehead.
It feels good to be able to tuck his girls in. As it hit Nate that he would have another little one or even two more beautiful children to tuck in at night, he grows hard with want for his new fiancée.
Pam knew that look. She smiles taking a step back, trying to remember what he just asked her. Her pussy is pulsing with the anticipation of what this man will do to her. How did she really ever think she could live without this man?
“I..uh, your uncle, asked for a little help,” Pam replies breathlessly as she grasps what he is asking her.
“What if I asked for a little help,” Nate asks lifting a brow and licking his full lips. His hands shoot out gripping her waist as he lifts her onto his waist.
This is them. They are finally back where they belong. Tinker Bell and her Hulk. The dirty thoughts going through both their minds could start a severe fire. “What can I do for you Hulk,” Pam purrs against his lips.
“I’ve missed my baby; I need you to remind your man what it feels like to be rocked to sleep,” Nate says with a sexy grin. “I want to get my dick nice and wet, Tinker Bell.”
Pam licks her lips. “Oh, I can definitely help with that.”
“I love you,” Nate says placing a kiss to her nose then rubbing his nose against hers. “I’m never letting you leave me again Pam.”
“I don’t plan on leaving Hulk. My yum yum missed you, too,” Pam whispers before flicking her tongue across Nate’s lips.
He groans capturing her mouth and kissing her breathless. Pam hadn’t realized he was moving so fast until feeling her back hit the bed. Nate lifts from over her standing at the foot of the bed. Grabbing the hem of his t-shirt Pam had thrown on after her shower, he bunches it in his hands. Tugging the shirt, he pulls it off and tosses it across the room.
Nate loves when she is pregnant. Nate could see it in her hips and breasts. He would have to remember to be gentle with her. That idea goes out the window as soon as Pam lifts herself from the mattress and dives for Nate’s slacks. He is already shirtless.
Pam looks up at him through her lashes as she unzips his slacks. Pam can’t feel herself getting giddy and turned on as his erection starts to strain against the fabric. She couldn’t get her hands on him fast enough.
Nate pushes his pants down, letting them hit the floor as Pam palms his shaft. He is rock hard, so swollen with need, he thought he would burst right in her hand. Pam dips her head forward getting just a taste, flicking her tongue over his tip.
Getting the spark of an idea Pam smiles, sitting back up and turning her back to him. Lying on her back to reach up for him, stroking him, she looks up into Nate’s eyes and winks.
“Catch me,” is the only warning she gives before kicking up her legs and lifting her torso from the bed. Nate wraps his arms around her holding her in place as she hangs upside down.
Pam wastes no time bobbing her head up and down on Nate’s dick. Nate cups her round ass cheeks lifting her a bit more, diving in between her legs face first as she opens up for him. Wrapping one arm around her waist, he holds her in place.
Nate groans into her hot pussy as she sucks him in deep. The sounds she is making are clouding his brain. Damn, he loves this woman. Pam hums against his shaft as he sucks on her pussy lips and sticks his tongue into her folds.
Pam grips the edge of the mattress with one hand as she uses the other one to hold on to his base. She is using the bed and his thick dick for leverage. Damn, Nate can eat some pussy. Pam cries out around him. Her stomach starts to quiver and she knows she is close. He is damn sure coming with me, Pam thinks.
Pam releases his shaft and reaches between his legs to cup his balls. Just as her orgasm crashes over her Nate roars with his release. Pam sucks and swallows him down happily. When he pops from her lips, she walks her hands forward on the mattress expecting him to release her and lay beside her.
Pam realizes too late that Nate is in no way done with her. Once he places her down on her knees, he grabs her hips swiftly and thrusts into her tight, wet sex. Pam cries out and clenches the sheets.
“Oh yeah, Baby,” Nate growls, “You didn’t really think that was it, did you?”
Pam has nothing to say. This is exactly what she needs. As the rock on her finger catches her eye, a grin spreads across her face. Yup, this fine ass man is hers. Pam starts to throw her hips back to show him what he could look forward to for the rest of his life. This is going to be a long night.
Chapter 7
“Wow, it got crazy out there so fast,” Marie gasps as she rushes forward into the cabin that was secured for her for the next few days.
Marie starts to worry that she isn’t going to make it to the shoot after all. Pam had already sent her a text to say the shoot was postponed a few hours because of the coming storm. It was meant to be a late night shoot, but Marie was starting to doubt it would happen at all, which was fine with her. Marie had plans of her own.
What started as a few flurries as they landed and loaded into the SUV, turned into a full out blizzard. Jasper had opted to drive instead of using a hired driver. They were lucky to have made it to the cabin when they did.
Jasper had kept her busy with music and laughter as they rode through the blankets of snow. She had been nervous that they wouldn’t make it, but, as usual, nothing fazed Jas. It was one of the things she loved about him. She had only once ever seen him lose it.
~B~
“She’s gone,” Jas sobbed into her belly.
Marie held him in her arms. Jasper had come to the house after James and Minnie had gone to the Briggs estate next door. She was still in shock. When they had told her to stay home, she just nodded her head. Raquel had meant so much to all of them.
Jasper tightened his hold around her waist as they stood in the middle of her bedroom. He was on his knees where he had fallen when he could go no further. He had wrapped his arms around her and buried his face in her belly as he let it all out.
Jas was a really tall eighteen-year-old, he was lean and well defined. Marie was not a short girl herself, but she felt dwarfed whenever she was in Jasper, Nate, or her brother’s presence. Right now though it was ripping her heart apart to see her strong friend brought to his knees.
Jasper was so close to his aunt. They had a special bond. She was the life of the family and kept them all laughing and seeing the good in everything. She had just thrown him the largest eighteenth birthday party ever, all because his dad had to go away on assignment. Earl had to just cancel everything he and Jas had planned.
“I’m sorry Jas,” Marie whispered as she ran her fingers through his blonde locks.
“I…I …I can’t breathe,” Jasper gasped into her stomach. Her heart twisted for him.
Marie sank to her knees and cupped his face looking i
nto his green eyes. They were red and full of tears that wouldn’t stop spilling over. He was still gasping for air.
“Look at me, Jas. I need you to breathe. Just take a deep breath,” Marie was starting to panic when she saw he was not responding. He was completely losing it.
She didn’t know what to do. That is when the dumbest idea popped in her head, but as he started to turn red, she went with it. Reaching for the collar of his shirt with one hand she tugged him forward and planted a kiss on his lips.
Jas didn’t react at first, but after a few seconds his hands were in her hair and he was kissing her back. As his tongue pried her mouth open, Marie could taste the salt of his tears. Jasper groaned into her mouth as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her body to his.
“I love you,” Jasper had broken the kiss to murmur against her lips.
Marie gasped in shock. She had a crush on Jasper since they were little. She’d been trying to run behind Marcus and Sam, dropping her ice cream cone in the process. She couldn’t have been more than six. Jasper had run over and handed her his cone before wiping her tears with the hem of his own t-shirt. He’d taken her to the backyard to push her on a swing instead of her trying to run after the older boys, spending the rest of the day with her and Rita.
From there she had only fallen deeper in love with him. He couldn’t be telling her he felt the same way, could he? Jasper pulled her back to him and captured her lips again. He knew Bobby, Sam, Marcus, and Nate would kick his ass, but he had been in love with Marie all his life. His Aunt Raquel was the only one he had ever confided that fact to and she was now taking it to the grave.
~B~
Marie remembered they had talked and kissed all night as she comforted him. Other than the night he called her to tell her how wronged he felt Jasper had always been cool as a cucumber. Well, there was the one time, Marie thinks with a smile. It comforted her to know he was here with her and not someone else.
Thoughts of what she had packed especially for this trip made her blush. This was it; she had sent a text to see if she was the only one that thought she was ready to do this. Her mentor had told her it was time.
After that text, Marie went right to her closet for the case she had kept hidden from everyone. The case her mentor had given her for the day she would reveal the truth. Marie shivered at the thought.
“Hey, are you cold,” Jasper asks walking over to her, rubbing his hands over her arms. She looks up into his eyes, finding herself lost. “I’ll start a fire and then I’ll see what we have to eat.”
“Okay,” Marie smiles up at him. “I’m going to go find a room and freshen up.”
Jas didn’t reply. She would find out soon enough that there was only one bedroom in this cabin though it was spacious. The old men had thought of everything. Jasper pressed his lips as he wondered what her reaction was going to be.
Shaking it off, he moves to the kitchen in search of food. He knew the place was well stocked. He was just going to find the perfect meal to make for what could be one of the most important nights of their lives.
Chapter 8
As he rummages through the refrigerator, Jas notes what they have stock of by way of food. Finding fresh lamb, he decides to make a dish his aunt had taught him. He finds himself wondering what she would think about how his life turned out. His eyes mist over as he realizes what really drew him to Olivia. It wasn’t the sex, it was the comfort. She had been to him what his Aunt had been, his sounding board, someone to share with.
Aunt Raquel taught him how to make his way around the kitchen. She had listened to him when he realized just how deep his feelings were for Marie. She had even gone to bat for him when he wasn’t sure about joining the family business and thought about discontinuing his training.
Olivia had listened to him when he talked of leaving the family business. She had taught him more than pleasure. Jas knew if he could have been what she needed she would have gone to bat for their relationship. Again he thought about her gifts.
He had to tell Marie the truth about Olivia. Jas’s time with Olivia molded and shaped who he was now. If Marie wanted to really know who he had become, she’d have to know it all. He let the war of how to tell her play in his head as he got into the flow of cooking.
As the fireplace warms the cabin, he starts to shed layers of clothing. First his sweater, then his socks, soon he felt like he right at home in just his jeans as he pulls the roasted vegetables from the oven. Wiping his brow, he looks around the kitchen at all he has done without noticing the time that has passed.
It is the clicking of heels and Marie’s voice calling his name that brings him back to the room. Looking up, he almost swallows his tongue. Marie stands before him in a black silky looking dress or ….robe?
She is in a robe. He was sure of it. Around Marie’s neck, she has a black wool scarf as if she is trying to ward off the cold. That just doesn’t make sense with the thin robe. Jas’s eyes raked her body from the fuck me patent leather black heels to the silk stockings, further up to the robe that clings to her curves. It is so thin he can see her nipples beading through the fabric.
Marie had always had a smoking hot body. Not too thin with nice curves to complement her long legs. Her face is scrubbed free of makeup, the way Jas loved it and her dark hair is pulled back into a slick ponytail, away from her beautiful naturally tanned face. Even from this distance, he could see her eyes had that sparkle that called to him every time.
“Something smells great,” Marie smiles nervously as Jas continues to devour her with his eyes.
Jasper clears his throat and tries to adjust himself without her noticing. Jas figures he failed completely when Marie’s eyes drop to his bulge and a smile genuinely tugs her lips. Fuck, what are you up to?
He clears his throat again. “I made lamb and that wild rice you love with roasted vegetables. Let’s eat then I will make some calls about your shoot,” Jasper’s voice comes out more husky than usual.
Marie had loved when Jasper’s voice dropped in high school. It had become a sexy rumble and was no different now. Marie’s eyes stay glued on Jas as he moves to get their dinner on plates. He looks absolutely edible in just a pair of well-fitting jeans.
Marie licks her lips as she watches his muscles play beneath his skin. Jas had always had been in shape for as long as she could remember. It came with the family business. He worked out all the time when they were younger, but this version of his body speaks of a different type of discipline.
There is a wooden dining table in the open space, but Jasper walks their plates over to the wooden coffee table set in front of the fireplace. It is the first time Marie notices that he has set up candles there and lit them.
Marie couldn’t deny Jasper being a romantic. In the year and six months that they were learning to be friends again, he had done plenty of romantic things, despite the nonromantic nature of their relationship. He was always surprising her in some way.
From random text messages to sending flowers on random occasions from their past, like on the anniversary of their first kiss or on the date of her first commercial when she was in Europe. Jasper had been the first one she called when she booked and shot the commercial on the spot. It was nothing big, but it was a big deal to Marie and Jasper had been just as excited as she was.
Marie couldn’t believe Jas remembered that or the tons of other events he had sent her flowers and sweet gifts in commemoration of. If Marie weren’t already in love with him, she knew she would have fallen a million times over by now. They both knew the only reason they are not where they want to be is because of the elephants they both allowed into the room.
“Come on, you can’t stand there staring at me all night,” Jas says with a crooked smile. Jas was doing all he could to ignore the energy swirling around them. “Our food is getting cold.”
Marie walks over to the coffee table and Jasper holds out his hand to help her sit on the rug beside the table. Marie smooths a hand down her robe to
ensure it remains closed as she sits. She was not ready to reveal all just yet.
Once settled on her knees before her plate Marie’s eyes travel up Jasper’s length to find him giving her a heated stare. His eyes are hooded and almost black with lust. Marie couldn’t prevent herself from squirming under his gaze.
A cell phone rings breaking the trance. Jasper turns to retrieve his phone from the large butcher block island top where he had left it. Marie takes the moment to breathe. She second guesses her intentions for tonight. Jasper can be so intense.
Marie shakes the thought off. Her preparation had been just as intense. She would not be a coward. Marie’s family already treats her like she is so fragile. Granted she had made some decisions that gave them cause to, but things had changed, she had changed. Marie knew she was no longer the naïve push over everyone had coined her for.
Things with Whitney had shown her a lot. Marie knew she was just a trusting person by nature. That is what got her in trouble every time. Marie just hoped that wouldn’t burn her this time.
Jasper looks down at his phone and his lips curl into a smile. He had a feeling he knew what was coming from this call. Jas lifts his head and looks out of the window and, sure enough, the snow was still falling unrelentingly. He could barely see the SUV they had driven in. The large picturesque windows themselves were starting to become covered.
There was no way they were getting anywhere out in that mess if they could get off the property at all. This storm is no passing wind. Jasper knew from the report he turned in to his dad that there was a very good chance they are going to be snowed in for a few days. It’s just what he needed to make things happen once and for all.
Jasper answered the phone and placed it on speaker so that Marie would hear. Turning to face her he leans his back against the countertop. Jasper watches Marie’s head pop up at the groggy voice that comes through the line.
