Manage Me (Toven's Circus #1)

by Marlowe Fox

  "Please, fuck me Jaden," I plead but he decides to start humming, his lips that are latched on to my clit vibrate again and I gasp, my hips thrust up but Jaden stays with me. Chuckling, he uses his long talented fingers to enter into my hot center. I squeeze my keegal muscles as he enters a second long finger, bending them to massage my g-spot.

  "I can't fuck you" at this statement I jerk his head up from his nuzzling. He lets out a moan at the pain I just inflicted on his scalp.

  "What? What do you mean you can't fuck me?" I'm pissed off and he is doing his best with his busy fingers to distract me. He laughs when I have to fight my eyes from crossing, which of course pisses me off more, so I try to squirm away, to dislodge his fingers from inside me. But he leans forward capturing my mouth with his, stilling my movements and cooling my temper. I can smell my essence on his lips, as he kisses me bringing my body back from the anger.

  Pulling away he looks at me, "Wow, are you done? I meant, I cannot fuck you yet, but I was distracted but this juicy pussy.” He whispers to me, sliding his fingers deep inside of me. My eyes roll back in my head as a groan slips from my lips. He lowers his head back down for another slow lick, “Despite you being so wet and ready for me, I need to do a little prep work to this tight hole first." He says wiggling the finger in my ass and I get excited that we are finally going to explore that area further.

  He removes his glistening fingers, deliberately licks them clean before kicking off his boots and drops his pants. My mouth waters as his cock bouncy free. The head is nearly pulsing with need with a drop of pre-cum resting on its tip and he grabs his white t-shirt from the back collar and pulls it over his head.

  “I love you, Jaden.” It just spills out of my mouth and his head pops up. I hadn’t planned on telling him while I was displayed on the counter like a Christmas ham. I wanted to tell him after we had made love in the bedroom. Why isn’t he saying anything?

  He just standing there leaning against my open legs staring at me, saying nothing. I thought he said he loved me. Tonight, during his song he poured his heart out at my feet, so why is he silent now?

  With a growl he lifts me and throws me over his shoulder. “What the fuck!? Jaden talk to me!”

  Chapter 44

  Jaden

  Kicking the bedroom door open and tossing her beautiful naked body on the bed. The head of my cock is pulsing an angry purple color and I crawl slowly up her body until I'm pressed along her whole length, rubbing my sensitive head along her wet slit. Looking into her face, I'm overcome with so much feeling in my chest. Nell’s eyes are huge and full of tears and it’s then I realize that I haven’t said anything, that I just went pure caveman on her.

  “Beauty, fuck. Fuck, I love you so fucking much. You’re my world, you’re my heart, you’re my everything.” I pour out as she nods her head and smiles. She grabs my faces kissing me deep, tears rolling down her face

  “I love you, Jaden, you’re my world, my heart, my everything, forever.” We kiss deep and she lets out a long low moan. I can’t hold back, I want to fill her with my seed, and claim her as mine. I shove inside her, into the warmth, into her perfectness that was made to fit my cock inside of her. I will never be without my woman, she will always be inside me. I don’t last long, but then Nell is right there with me as we both plunge over the edge.

  When I pull back to take her in, she’s continuing to moan, that low painful sound. Her eyebrows meet in a frown as she looks confused and my horny sex-crazed brain finally catches up. Nell isn’t making that noise, it’s coming from someone in the bathroom.

  “You stay here.” I tell her, jumping out of bed, I grab a pair of sweatpants from my bag on the floor and slip them on.

  The bathroom door is mostly closed, but for about an inch, the light is off, and the sound of silence is screaming through the crack. The moaning has stopped but it sounded like it was in pain. I grab the tall silver tapered candle stick from the dresser, incase whoever is in there tries to attack me and I need to defend myself. I push open the door but nothing. The sound doesn’t resume and no one runs up on me, so I reach in and flick on the light.

  The light illuminates the room, the vanity sits right across from the door and the shower is off to the right, with the toilet on the other side of the half open door. I look around seeing nothing until movement catch my eyes creeping under the door.

  A pool of blood is making its way towards me. I dart into the room, closing the door to see the area behind it and there laying in the pool on the floor is Emily, unmoving and so pale her lips are nearly blue. The gaping wound to her abdomen the only sign of any damage.

  “CALL 9-1-1!” I scream to Nell, and drop to my knees beside Emily’s lifeless body.

  ******************************************

  The paramedics came and took Emily away. They were able to get her heart pumping again before they left but she had lost a lot of blood and there was no way to tell if the baby was going to make it. The police came along with them and told us we couldn’t leave town. We were allowed to go wait at the hospital and that is now where we wait.

  When the police enter the private waiting area the hospital set up for us, we all tense up.

  “Hi, I am Detective Madden, I am lead on this investigation. This is Detective Kitchens, my partner. You are Jaden James correct?” He shakes my hand introducing his partner and himself. Who both look like they shop at the same cheap men’s suit shop.

  “Yes, Sir, I am James.”

  “May we speak with you privately? And if we could request the rest of you stay here, we would like to talk to all of you.” We all nod in agreement, they already told us we couldn’t leave the state, so it’s not like we were going anywhere. .

  I follow the detectives to the next room over and sit in the chair.

  “Mr. James, how long did you and Miss. Snow have a relationship?” Detective Madden asks.

  “Uh, well we didn’t have a relationship. We spent a weekend having sex together.” I reply.

  “But Miss. Snow was pregnant with your child, correct?” Kitchens asks.

  “She is pregnant, yes. We have a paternity test scheduled for tomorrow to find out if the child is mine.” I pause absorbing what they just said, “Wait, you said was…?”

  “Why did you feel a paternity test was needed? Did you not trust Emily?” Madden asks ignoring my question.

  “It’s not that I don’t trust Emily, I honestly do not know her well enough to trust her. It was more about protecting myself and my future. I always wrapped up when having sex with woman, all woman, including Emily. I didn’t want to have a child with some random hook up. And now that I have found the woman that I want to marry, I wanted to make sure.”

  “That would be Nell Craven, correct?” asks Kitchens, and I just nod. “Did Nell know about Emily and the pregnancy?”

  “Yes, I told her everything shortly after we got together.”

  “How did she feel about the pregnancy?” Madden asks leaning forward on the table.

  “She wasn’t thrilled about it but we had agreed that there was nothing to worry about until we knew it was mine for sure.”

  A loud crash sound from outside the room and I hear Finn and Ryker yelling. I stand up going for the door but Madden grabs my arm.

  “Mr. James, you need to sit back down.”

  “What the fuck is going on? Why are my guys yelling?” I ask yanking from his grip just as the door the room is thrown open.

  “Fuckers are arresting Nell for shooting Emily!” Ryker yells.

  I release a roar and charge towards the open door only making it to the frame before I am grabbed from behind. I can see Nell, arms behind her back in cuffs, her face turned towards me pleading in her tear filled eyes. I fight the men that hold me, breaking away, and making it to her.

  “Sir, we cannot let you…” they start but I cut them off.

  “Just give me a fucking minute please.” The detective nods, but doesn’t let her arm go.

  “J
aden, I didn’t do this, I would never.” Nell cries, huge tears rolling down her face. I wrap my big hands around her cheeks catching them.

  “I know, Beauty, I know and I’ll get you out of this. I love you. I am so sorry for all this shit. I love you, Nell.” I whisper to her taking her trembling lips with mine.

  “Okay, Lovebirds, time to go.” The officer says tugging her out of my arms. I stand watching her be dragged away from me. I drop to my knees when she disappears around the corner, my head in my hands, I can’t stop the tears from escaping. My woman and my possible child ripped from me is a matter of seconds.

  “Mr. James we need to continue our discussion with you,” Comes Kitchen’s voice and I lose it.

  Jumping to my feet I spin around, grabbing the lapels of his shirt and cocking my fist back but just as I am letting it fly, I’m grabbed roughly from behind. I’m throw to the ground, a knee grinding into my back, as my own hands are cuffed while my face is mashed down into the cold linoleum floor.

  “Mr. James, I don’t want to arrest you, too, but if you don’t calm down, I will.” Says Madden, crouching down beside me. “We just want to talk to you and find out somethings.”

  “You arrested the woman I love on attempted murder charges and you want me to fucking calm down?” I spit out at him.

  “You want to help her don’t you?” He asks but doesn’t wait for a response. “You’ll need to talk to us in order to do so.”

  I lay there in fuming silence, going over what he just said. I look over at Ashton, who’s on the floor at the feet of an officer, ten feet from me. Her face is in complete anguish while she sits quietly watching me. Ryker and Finn stand behind her, a protective wall but they too watch me with misery written across their faces.

  Nodding my head, Madden jerks his head, and an officer comes over to remove the cuffs and help me up. My insides are still raging, but I need to keep it together, I need to do whatever I can to help Nell. Madden gestures to the room we were in and I go back inside, taking my seat, crossing my arms over my chest.

  “Tell us everything you did today.” Kitchen says.

  And I sit for what feels like hours telling them everything we did since arriving in Vegas. Everything, over and over again. Only coming to a cluster fuck when I hit the end of the acoustic set, when Nell left the stage by herself, but I tell them the truth, I tell them about after the show. That Nell would have been in the suite for a while. I try asking questions but they either ignore them or say they cannot answer them at this time.

  “Okay, Mr. James, I think we have everything for now. If you think of anything else, please call.” Kitchens’ says as he hands me his card.

  “Can I see Nell?” I ask.

  “No, Mr. James, not right now. We will be talking to her soon but she is currently not allowed any visitors.”

  “She didn’t do this. She isn’t stupid either, she wouldn’t have just left her there so she would get caught.” I state matter-of-factly.

  “That’s a theory we haven’t ruled out. Rarely is a crime of passion so simple.” Madden says giving me some hope that they aren’t as stupid as I feared they might be.

  They ask to see Ashton next and over the next several hours, they work their way through everyone else. After 10 hours, they have cleared out and the doctor makes his way out to talk to us.

  “Mr. James?” He asks. He wears clean green scrubs and a white coat over the top. He looks to be in his late fifties, his hair having gone grey early but his skin faring well against the desert sun.

  “Yeah that’s me, how is she? How is the baby?” I blurt and make me way up to him. He worries his hands and steps to the side gesturing to the room, we used to talk to the police.

  “May we talk in private, Mr. James?”

  “Whatever you have to say, you can say in front of all of them.” I say firmly.

  “Um, yes, uh, but I thought we might want to talk in a more private location than the hallway, as the information I have discovered is sensitive.” He says, his voice hushed.

  “Uh, yeah…come guys.” I says and lead everyone into the small room. Once we are all inside and seated, we look to the doctor.

  “Miss. Snow is doing well. She lost a lot of blood but we were able to do a transfusion and get her regulated back to normal. Her wound was damaging but by some miracle, no major organs or arteries were cut or even nicked, so we were able to stitch her up. Now, as long as no infection takes hold, she should be out of here in a couple days. We have given her something for the pain and she is sleeping but she should be awake by the morning.”

  “That’s good to hear. Hopefully, she will be able to remember who attacked her and we can get Nell out.” I say relief flooding into me.

  “Mr. James, how far along was Miss. Snow’s pregnancy?” He asks and I am completely confused as to why he is asking. I pull out my phone and scroll back through the text messages, before holding it out to him.

  “This is the photo of the sonogram she sent me, it says here she is 16 weeks. What does that have anything to do with anything?” I ask.

  “Mr. James, at 16 weeks the fetus would be about the size of an avocado. A size that is pretty big to miss. While I was stitching Miss. Snow up, there was no fetus to be found nor was there any other signs that she was pregnant.” He says glumly and it’s like a bucket of ice water was just dumped on me.

  “You have to be fucking kidding…” whispers Ryker from besides me and I just sit there staring down at me hands.

  “I’m afraid not, Miss. Snow was not pregnant in the last 16 weeks.” He states again and I honestly have no idea what to be feeling at this moment. Part of me is stoked that I dodged that bullet but on the other hand, What the Actual Fuck!? I sit in stunned silence, absently thanking the doctor as he leaves but zoning out when the room around me erupts into anger and chaos.

  ******************************************

  Nell

  I sit in my cell by myself on a paper thin mattress cot going over the last day, trying to make sense of everything. During the interrogation they informed me Emily had awoken while on the operating table at one point and said my name. What? Frankly, I am not convinced it’s true. It seems too convenient and I think they were trying to get me to confess to something I didn’t do, so they could just tie it up and go home.

  But I didn’t do anything, I would never hurt someone, no matter how big of a cunty- bitch they are. I won the guy, Jaden is mine. She might be having his kid but that isn’t reason enough to hurt her, if anything that was even more of a deterrent. One, because the baby wasn’t at fault here. He didn’t have a choice in who his asshole mother was and two, because of Jaden. That baby might be a part of him, and despite also being a part of her, I would love the child because it was his.

  I’m scared though, I’m scared Emily is trying to set me up and I don’t have any alibi to cover my ass. I was in the room by myself for around forty-five minutes before Jaden got there. I’m not a cop, but I get that doesn’t look great for me. I shake my head to clear it, I have to believe that I will be found innocent despite Emily’s apparent lies. Karma cannot possibly hate me, as much as it hates her.

  The sound of a jingling keys startles me awake. I must have passed out sometime during my mental tirade. Sitting up, I rub the sleep from my eyes as Detective Madden and Kitchen’s make their way into the cell both taking a seat on the cot across from my own.

  “Miss. Craven, we wanted to let you know that Miss. Snow is going to be fine. She has been stitched up and should be waking up anytime. We wanted to give you one more opportunity to talk to us before going down to talk to her.” Says Madden in a detected tone, like he could care less that Emily is going to be okay.

  “Oh good, I am glad that she is going to be okay. What about the baby, is he okay, did he make it?” I ask true concern lacing my voice.

  The two men glance at one another, before Kitchen’s says, “Miss. Craven, when were you told about Emily’s pregnancy?”

  “Ja
den told me last week when we were in Seattle. It was within the first couple days of our relationship.”

  “Were you angry? Jealous that he had gotten another woman pregnant?”

  “I was shocked and disappointed. I wasn’t angry because it happened before we’d even met and we don’t even know if the baby is his or not. As for being jealous, no, I was disappointed because we’d only just started seeing each other. Jaden made it very apparent that Emily and him had never been anything more than a weekend hook-up and what he wanted with me what much more. I had no reason to be jealous of Emily.”

  “Miss. Snow joined the tour with you all in George, Washington, correct? Did Miss. Snow and you ever have a private conversation or arguments about her being there or her pregnancy?” Madden asks.
