The NSC Boxset: Heart of Stone

by D H Sidebottom

  His jaw dropped and I looked over his shoulder to watch as Mason covered Kade’s body, his hands settling beside my head as his eyes closed in pure rapture as all three of us linked and joined as one continuation of each other.

  “So tight” Mason choked out as Kade buried his cock deeper inside me, his hardness stretching me and every single sensation my body could feel stimulated my brain with a surge of lust and animalistic want as I pushed back and took all of Kade inside me as I also pressed him onto Mason.

  “Harder” I growled as I started to ride Kade, my movements powering him deeper onto Mason’s cock as I set the pace and sped up, my greediness in want of a climax driving us faster and fiercer.

  “Fuck yeah, fuck me Ava” Kade hissed as his fingers wrapped in my hair and Mason pushed us flatter to the floor.

  I couldn’t work us anymore; my body trapped between Kade, the pillow and the carpet as Kade started pounding into me and then back onto Mason, his erotic groans loud in my ear as Mason’s dirty statements made me hotter.

  “Ava, Ava . . .” he panted as I felt his cock swell inside me, “Fuck Mason, harder.”

  Oh Shit, I was going to come harder than ever and my nails clutched the carpet as I braced myself for it.

  “I’m gonna come buried to my balls in your arse, Kade. I need you to get Ava there, now.”

  My head whipped back before Kade’s lips sucked at the skin behind my ear and then I exploded with so much force when his teeth sank hard into my flesh that I barely registered the roar of release from the two men joining me with their own climax.

  I had no idea what or who I shouted as everything in my body burst at once. My brain shut down with the overload as my body screamed in exquisite pain and pure gratification whilst my lungs ceased and my heart stopped.

  Holy fucking hell! I was still screaming in pleasure as Kade’s body bucked and jerked, his cock filling me with each and every drop his balls held and more.

  Mason cried out Kade’s name as he ground us further into the carpet and his hands disappeared from beside me to hold onto Kade’s shoulders.

  I had never experienced an orgasm so fierce before and I knew I would never feel another like it.

  The love shown from both men brought it to a new level, their adoration sizzling my responses to a deeper dimension.

  We all collapsed before gentle hands lifted me and lay me softly on the bed, “Sleep, baby.”

  I mumbled a reply before my body sank into the delicious void of unconsciousness.

  * * *

  I felt the soft strokes of fingertips over my skin before the light filtered through my eyelids and into my consciousness.

  “Ooh” I murmured as soft lips wrapped around one of my nipples and clasped it between gentle teeth.

  My arousal fired as more lips slid over my ribcage and across the plain of my stomach, a tongue licking a trail behind the lips until they ventured over my mound and curled around my stimulated clitoris.

  My back arched as hands cupped my breasts, massaging and caressing me lightly as a tongue worked my clit unforgivingly, the contrast in the touches frazzling my brain and confusing my mind.

  “Open your eyes Ava, look at me” Mason’s stern demand had my eyes opening and I smiled widely when I saw him straddle my chest. He slid the tip of his hard cock over my bottom lip and I clamped my lips shut playfully. He narrowed his eyes on me but just as teasing he wiped his pre-cum all over my lips. My tongue darted out to taste as Kade slid his teeth softly over the hard nub of my clit and slipped a long finger inside me.

  My body jerked as a shot of intense pleasure rippled through my core and my mouth fell open to release the loud groan. Mason took advantage as Kade chuckled and drove his cock deep into my mouth.

  “Crafty” I laughed around the solid erection in my mouth. Mason lifted his brow in agreement as Kade grew serious in his diversion and flicked his tongue over my clit, driving my need higher and higher. “Jesus . . . Fuck me Kade, please.”

  Mason groaned long and low as my voice reverberated around his cock, sending vibrations through his shaft and into his balls as they squeezed tight.

  Kade didn’t wait to be asked twice. Within seconds my legs were lifted around his shoulders gently, his delicacy with my sore hip saw him thrusting inside me softly and slowly.

  “Oh yeah” he breathed from behind Mason as I felt his cock slide in gradually, the leisure in his pace was good as he stretched me slowly and steadily. “Bend over her Mason,” he added but I switched off to the rest as I worked my mouth up and down Mason’s length and relished in the feel of Kade sliding in and out of me unhurriedly, his love-making tender and sweet but still just as arousing.

  “Fuck!” Mason hissed from above me but I continued to work him, my fingers sliding over his sac and across his perineum. I could feel the movement of Kade’s fingers as I neared Mason’s arse so I worked backwards and continued to tease his balls, scraping his scrotum with the edge of my super-nails.

  Kade carried on his steady pace, gliding in and out with a slow push and pull and before long his soft sweeps over my g-spot detonated my orgasm and I cried out my pleasure. Mason must have been waiting for me as his cock swelled and he erupted into my mouth, his hot spunk flowing over my tongue and out of the corners of my mouth as Kade thrust hard twice and exploded inside me.

  “Jesus!” Mason roared as Kade shouted some expletives.

  “Good morning beautiful” Mason smiled down at me as I licked his cock clean and tickled the tip of him which I knew made him jerk straight after he had come.

  “Good morning yourself, handsome” I grinned and turned my face towards Kade, who had slid up beside me and cupped my face.

  His mouth descended and he took his morning kiss with as much gentility as he had fucked me with.

  Mason spread out at the other side of me and I could feel his eyes watching us kiss, as his fingers trailed down my arm with adoration and love.

  I pulled away from Kade and turned to my husband to now worship his kiss. He brushed his mouth over me slowly, his eyes fixing on mine to make sure I was all in. Our gazes locked and I swallowed at the intensity of love in his eyes before he lifted them to Kade and I frowned slightly when I saw something similar in his eyes, this time directed at Kade.

  Holy Shit.

  “Mason?”

  He blinked and turned back to me, his eyes now smiling but his lips were stern. “You okay?” I asked with slight apprehension, wondering what the hell was going on here. He smiled and nodded and I cupped his jaw, holding his eyes on mine.

  He read my stare, knowing my silent voice after many years of mute communication with two children. He nodded once firmly and gifted me to his stunning smile, “Breakfast wench, we’re hungry.”

  “Hell yes” Kade growled as he slid off the bed and walked into the en-suite.

  “Are you sure you’re okay?” I asked Mason again when we were alone.

  “I’m good, Ava. Just a bit . . . my emotions are all over the place, that’s all.”

  I studied him for a moment, trying to gauge his mood but also read his hesitation. “Can I ask you something?”

  He nodded as he sat up and turned his back to me. He knew my question before I asked it but I pushed myself upright, careful of my stiches as I flanked his body from behind with my own and slipped my arms around his waist. “What are your feelings for Kade?”

  He stiffened under me and I tightened my hold, giving the encouragement to be honest. “I love you Mason. I will always love you, whatever or whoever you are. My life since meeting you has been full of so much of your love. You have masses of it, Mason, shit loads of love to share and . . .”

  He shook his head and shot off the bed, “Don’t!”

  I could tell by his tone that the subject was closed, his demand at my silence bated my questions for now and I nodded.

  I pushed off the bed and reached up to him on tiptoes, “Kiss me, Mr Fox.”

  His wicked smile warmed my heart and set
tled my uncertainties. His soft lips crashed over mine and his dominance and control bled into me, claiming me back as his mouth moved over my neck and his bite left its signature mark. “Jesus, I love you Ava. You’re everything, baby. Everything worth living in this damned life for.”

  I frowned at his sadness, “It’s gonna work out okay, Mason, I promise. A woman knows these things.”

  He smirked as he stroked my wound dressing softly before his eyes darkened and the room cooled slightly with the abrupt change in his mood, “This Ava, this scared the shit out of me baby. I was so fucking frightened . . .”

  “Enough!” I snapped, “I don’t wanna hear about the what if’s, Mason. We concentrate on the now and the future, not what has been.”

  “Ava! You really need to face this . . .”

  “No, Mason, it is done, over. What’s the point in worrying about things that haven’t even happened yet and what’s the point in going over things that have happened and cannot be changed?”

  He sucked in a breath but nodded reluctantly, “Fair enough, but I’m just saying you need to be careful, Ava. I will not allow anymore shit to happen, they go through me next time. Understand?”

  I nodded, “I know. I just can’t figure out why this bastard wants you, Mason. What his grievance is with you.”

  He laughed as Kade returned to the room, Mason’s eyes flicking to him swiftly before they settled back on me, “Baby, it could be any number of things.”

  “The stats should be back soon, and then you’ll know where your money went. My program will pinpoint the exact location as well as the transaction details. It will find him for you.” Kade divulged as he pulled on his jeans but left them unbuttoned and my eyes feasted on his pure masculinity, my gaze lowering onto the sprinkle of black hair now disappearing into the waistband of his denim.

  Mason laughed and I blinked, “Ava, you’re eating him whole.”

  I shook my head to clear my thoughts before I pulled on my clothes. “By the way, Brad stays with you all day until I can replace Wes.”

  I nodded in confirmation; there was no point in fighting Mason when he was like this, even though the thought of Brad tagging along beside me all day didn’t exactly bring a smile forth. He looked the type to try it on but I brushed it off, knowing I could take care of myself. “Sure, I’m just nipping to the cemetery to replace George’s flowers, then picking Katie and George up from your mother’s, and then I’ll be home all day. Will you still be here, Kade?” I asked as I dressed and flicked a look at Mason as he also turned to Kade, waiting for his answer.

  “Yeah, I gotta run through with the program. It needs some other stuff doing once it pinpoints the IP’s so I can track the movements of the money and bring up the name of the account it eventually landed in.”

  “Did you manage to get a link on what I asked you?” I asked Kade quietly when Mason stepped into the shower.

  “Not yet but that could take weeks, Ava. I know I write brilliant programs but sometimes they’re a little slow.” He chuckled and took my hand in his, “Is Mason okay?”

  I shrugged and pursed my lips, sighing as Kade’s thumb gently rubbed my knuckles, “I’m not sure, I think he’s fighting a few new emotions.”

  He cocked his head as a small frown puckered his brow, “Emotions involving me?”

  “I dunno, he clammed up when I asked him,” I replied as I shot a look to the bathroom when the shower shut off. “The best thing to do is sit back and let him deal with them. He’ll let us know when he comes to some sort of conclusion about them.”

  He nodded then pulled in a heavy breath, pulling me back slightly as I turned to walk away, “I need to say something, Ava. I know you don’t want to hear it but I need to say it.”

  I swallowed back the worry and let him have his say as I nodded to him.

  “I love you Ava, you know that and I know you love me but this . . . this whatever it is, it was the right thing to do. Years Ava, for years I have wanted you and it tore me up inside but now we end it. We move on, get on with life and . . .”

  He ran his tongue over his teeth as his throat bobbed and my skin tightened when I knew his next words would hurt, “And I can’t see you again, Ava.”

  My heart dropped through my stomach as I shook my head urgently, “Kade, no, I . . .”

  “Ssshhh, sweetheart.” He pulled me against him tightly, my hip screaming in pain but that was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.

  “Last night and this morning . . . it made me realise how much I want you, Ava. How damn in love I am with you and I can’t . . .”

  His fists clenched beside him as he closed his eyes, “I can’t watch you be with someone else. I will never get over you whilst I watch you, see you every day and know that you will never be mine.”

  Tears spilled down my face and he swept his fingers over my cheeks, catching them before they dripped from my chin, “You’ll be fine Ava, Mason loves you so much. His eyes are so alive when he looks at you, his whole aura lights your shadow, sweetheart. And you, you absorb that Ava and it’s what makes your heart beat every day. I can never compete with that kind of love. I know you love me, but I know you worship Mason. I have seen the adoration and idolisation in your eyes and I can visibly see your soul reach out for him. I can feel the thud of your heart when he enters a room and fuck, I might be a bastard at times but even Hell wouldn’t forgive me for destroying that.”

  “But . . .”

  He shook his head firmly before he leaned and grazed his lips over mine, the salt from my tears mixing with his love and stimulating my tongue and lips as my heart stuttered against my chest. His mouth moved over mine with so much passion and I sighed into him as his tongue stroked across the underside of mine. I let it flow, let him take what he needed from me as I palmed his face and fed him as much love as I could.

  He rested his forehead on mine as his eyes held me but a smile lifted his lips, “I’ll be here when you get back, I promise.”

  I nodded against him, inhaling his deliciousness one last time as I pulled my shoulders back, halted my tears and dragged my heart back into place.

  His gaze pierced my soul before he slipped past me and went to check his equipment in the office.

  I didn’t watch him go, just stood rooted to the spot, my fingers against my lap as I closed my eyes and strived to steady myself. I knew it would come, knew last night would make it difficult but that didn’t help stop the ache that was killing me inside.

  I had always hated myself for what I did to Kade all those years ago and now, now it felt like retribution, my turn to feel the pain as I tried to let go.

  Chapter 37

  Mason

  I WATCHED KADE walk away then gazed at Ava as she struggled with her emotions in the centre of the room.

  I had heard every word from behind the door, listened to them each declare their love but what had surprised me was Kade’s words and Ava’s acceptance. She had fought with her feelings for Kade for over seven years but she had controlled them, allowing her friendship with Kade to continue and grow. Now she had even lost that and I couldn’t help but feel guilty for pushing last night’s amazing experience.

  My own emotions over Kade weren’t something I was willing to decipher at the present moment, not until this shit was over with and I stayed motionless until Ava left the room.

  I sat on the edge of the bed and stared around the bedroom, my bedroom for the last twelve years. This was where I had first taken Ava, first made love to her, first accepted that I was in love with her, first asked her to marry me and lost our first child in this very room. It was part of me, part of our family and I sighed heavily as I visualised the rapture on Kade’s face this morning when he slid into Ava’s warm wet pussy. The love that had been displayed on his face mirrored mine and then the adoration on my wife’s face not ten minutes ago when Kade gave her a final kiss.

  Would she ever move past this? I had no worries or concerns about whether she loved me but I hated to see her
ache; an ache that she would carry with her for the rest of her life. An ache that was now wiggling its way inside me.

  No, I wouldn’t go there, wouldn’t accept what my heart was telling me. This was over, finished and it would stay that way.

  I climbed from the bed and dropped the towel to pull on my clothes. “Ava asks if you’re ready for breakfast.” Kade asked from the doorway.

  I turned and watched his eyes lift from my backside as a sly smirk appeared on his face. He had been checking me out and I frowned at myself when my gut pooled with heat and my stomach fluttered with satisfaction.

  “Yeah, five minutes.”

  He was about to turn when he turned back to me and held my gaze, “About this morning, I know you were listening and I wanted to apologise for what I . . .”

  I lifted a hand and stopped him mid-sentence, “I knew it all, Kade. I want to thank you for . . . I dunno, for handing me the reins I suppose. Your honesty to Ava means a lot.”

  I sighed and penetrated his eyes; his gaze grew serious when he felt the sadness in me. “We’re moving to Portugal, Kade. After we get this bastard we’re selling up and moving into George’s place.”

  He sucked a hefty intake of air through his teeth and I noticed the slight tremble in his legs but he held it back and I could see the acceptance absorb into him, “Probably a good thing then. I need complete separation, Mason, otherwise I have no chance of . . .” He shrugged to finish his sentence and I nodded to show I understood.

  He left again and I watched him go, my heart racing in my chest as my eyes dropped to his arse and devoured the way his backside hugged the denim nicely.

  Fuck! I did not need this right now; I needed complete concentration on finding our guy. I didn’t need my attention somewhere else until I had him.

  I shook myself off and dressed before following the smell of fried bacon and eggs. I didn’t need to follow the scent of Ava; my soul dragged me to her intuitively. It was always on the hunt for its mate and I smiled as I noticed the customary dip in her brow as I entered the kitchen.
