For Love and Vengeance (23 page)

“How's
MacKenzie?” Jason asked as he came into their bedroom.

“She's
resting. This pregnancy's playing havoc with her. She eats and she throws up,
poor thing. And that girl loves her food.”

Jason
loved the way she looked, curled up on the bed, and didn't think twice about
keeping his brothers waiting. He needed a taste of his angel before he went
out. Strolling towards her, his eyes at half mast, Aviva licked her lips in
anticipation. She’d been lying on her side, but with his approach and his sexy
regard, she rolled onto her back, giving him an open invitation.

Coming
to a stop at the side of the bed, Jason looked down at her. He wanted nothing
more than to remove their clothing, piece by piece, and have her crawl all over
him. But he knew he didn't have the time. What he was about to do was to secure
their future. If all went as planned, and he’d do all that was in his power to
ensure it did, he was going to make sure she never looked at another man for
the rest of her life. When he was finished with her, she would know without a
doubt she belonged to him.

“I
love you, you know that right?” Jason said, as he kicked off his shoes and
lowered himself over her, his powerful arms holding his body a fraction away
from the contact they both needed so badly.

Jason’s
body throbbed with need yet when he lowered himself to rest against her, it was
with gentle care, never allowing his full weight to burden her. This was his
love, his angel, the single most important part of his life and he would do
anything to protect her.

Because
of the look in his eyes, Aviva forgot all about the plan she and MacKenzie had
hatched. She loved this man and nothing would cause her to lose faith in him.
Looking into his eyes, Aviva knew that he needed her affirmation and a
demonstration of her love for him. T
his was the man who
had called her his
Angel
almost from the moment he had met her and
he needed her. There was something so raw, so
vulnerable in his green eyes, Aviva fell in love with him all over again. What
he was about to do was for their future. He had suffered enough hurt in life
and it was time for it all to end.

For
now, she was going to give him whatever he needed to make
him
feel good.
“What do you need,
baby?”

Watching
her, listening to her words, he knew exactly what he wanted, needed. Bending
his arms, he touched his forehead to hers, rolling his head from side to side.

Aviva
understood what her man needed. He needed to
feel
her love for him.
Lifting her arms, she pushed him onto his back. He complied without resistance,
eyes still closed. Her baby needed her to touch him, to make him
know
that whatever he did, whatever he had been through, and despite his myriad
flaws, he was enough. He would always be enough...for her.

“Did
I ever tell you what I thought the first time I saw you?”

His
eyes popped open.

“No.”

Aviva
smiled, she had his full attention.

“In
my mind, I called you 'Man Mountain.' I'd never met anyone like you before, and
right from the very first moment, you pulled me, fascinated me, and the next
thing I knew, I was in love with you. I will always love you. You, Jason Kingdom.
When you come home, I'll always be here waiting you. You alone are the love of
my life and you fulfill me as nothing else ever has.”

Her
words humbled him, and they strengthened him. This thing he had to do was long
overdue. Before, it had been for his benefit and for the other boys who had
suffered at the hands of those perverted men. Now he realized he wanted it to
end so that he could get on with his life. So he could love this woman without
having to look over his shoulders, waiting for a strike that could sever what
they had just begun to build together.

Enfolding
her in his powerful arms, he breathed in her essence again and again, unable to
get enough of her. He knew his brothers were waiting for him but he needed to
feel
her
, to carry her with him.

“I
love you, my Angel. I will always love you. Never doubt that, never question
that. My life so far has been filled with many uncertainties, yet from the
moment you ran into my life, I knew it was you. You and I will grow old
together, and this...what we have, it will only grow stronger.”

Aviva
had difficulty seeing his face through the tears that formed in her eyes. He
didn't know it, but she would make sure the words he spoke became a reality.
She was his
angel
and she would protect and keep him safe.
“Go on. Your brothers
are waiting on you. Have a good time.” Nothing in her words or tone betrayed
that she would be only steps behind him.

Jason
pressed his lips against those of the woman he loved in the simplest of ways.
He only meant the kiss to be a brush of lips before their short separation but
it grew – it grew into something that he could never get enough of. He wanted
to devour her. He wanted to pull her inside of him. How could a man love a
woman so much that the very feel of her was a craving, a longing that made
everything else fade away?

Thrusting
his tongue into her mouth while his hands pulled her against him, he didn't
want there to be an ounce of space between them. As he felt her small body
imprinted against his own, Jason deepened the kiss, his tongue traveling around
her mouth, sucking, pulling, tasting. Needing more, needing everything that she
had to give – it had been too long.

Aviva
could tell he was losing control, but this was not the time for what they both
wanted, needed. They had business to take care of, and tonight would be the
closing chapter in the story of the life of the young, Jason King. Tomorrow, he
would be Jason Kingdom.

Reluctantly,
she pulled her lips away from his. He needed to go and she needed to dress and
follow. Running her hands through his hair, Aviva looked deeply into his eyes
as she filled hers with all the love she felt for him.
“You need to go. Your brothers are waiting on
you, and I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here when you get back.” Or at least
she hoped she would make it back before he did.

Jason
had too much emotion rushing around his body to speak so he just nodded. She
was right. The time had finally come when he would rid himself of the evil that
had been the bane of his life. His only wish was that should she ever find out
what he had done and was about to do, she would still love him as much as she
did at that moment. He was willing to take the chance. If she ever thought to
reject him, well that would be an entirely different story because he wouldn’t
let her go. She belonged to him and what was his, he kept.

Aviva
was well aware of the possessive look in Jason's eyes. She recognized it
because she felt the same way. He was a keeper, he might have ideas that she
needed to be protected but with time he would realize that she wasn't as soft
as her small stature belied.

Dressed
and ready to leave, Jason turned and looked at her.
“I'll be back soon.”

Suddenly, Aviva realized, although
this was probably not the time, there was no way she was going to pass up the
opportunity to give her man something to take with him. Something to make him
know that he was loved, by her. He was always so generous with his love making,
and she intended to be the same.

She knew what her man
liked, and she was going to give it to him. Aviva knew their time was short, so
this called for her finest work.

Aviva called Jason’s name just
as he was about to open the door. Looking over his shoulder, Jason watched as she
rose from the bed and strolled towards him in silence, her steps slow and
deliberate, hips swaying from side to side. Jason’s eyes locked on her,
transfixed by the almost catlike way she moved, and the signals she
transmitted. Her body language radiating sensuality in its most primal form and
he was hooked.

When she reached him, Aviva
held Jason’s gaze before falling to her knees before him. Braced against the
door, Jason drew in a sharp breath as he waited for her next move.

Releasing the snap of his
pants, Aviva pulled his zipper down as she ran her tongue over her lips in
anticipation of what she was about to do. Zipper released, she moved his
clothing down and away from her ultimate goal.

For the first time, Aviva
dropped her eyes and was confronted by Jason’s rock hard cock that seemed to be
straining towards her, begging for her touch. Aviva had never been fond of
giving blowjobs to past lovers, but giving this man pleasure in this way, was a
massive turn-on. And she could feel her body begin to respond to the sight of
him, so big, so hard, and so ready for her touch.

Aviva took hold of him and
swirled her tongue around the head of his shaft. Encouraged by his sharp intake
of his breath, she went to work in earnest. She savored the moment,
reacquainting herself with the different textures of him, the ridges that ran
along his shaft, the roughness of skin that flowed into the smoothness at its
head.

Returning her gaze to
Jason’s, Aviva sucked him into her mouth, extending her tongue so he could go
as deep as possible. Slowly she returned to the head of his shaft all the while
holding him firmly in place as she repeated her actions again and again with
slow deliberation. Again reaching the smooth head of his now throbbing cock she
gently eased her tongue into the small slit making gentle intricate patterns. His
sensitivity to her actions obvious by the sharp intake of his breath, as he
tried to arch away from her relentless touch.

Sucking him back into her
mouth, Aviva rotated her head first one way and then the next, moving backwards
and forwards as she swirled her tongue around the rim of his cock again and
again. Forming a tight ring around his shaft, Aviva guided Jason as she moved
him between her lips. Then she started all over again, increasing her speed,
changing the pattern of her movements.

As his low groans of
pleasure increased, Aviva felt Jason’s hands against her cheeks, gentle, always
so gentle, stroking her, running his fingers back and forth, brushing her hair away
from her face. Aviva removed the hand that had been holding Jason’s hard
backside, and cupped his balls, squeezing, pulling and rotating them to
increase his pleasure.

“That’s it, angel, just
like that…yes, just like that. Don’t stop…that feels so good…God that feels so
good!”

Encouraged by his
disjointed words of pleasure, Aviva applied all her skill, pulling up each
memory of what her man loved, how he liked to be touched, how much pressure to
administer, and in what way. This was for him, all for him, and he was close.
She could feel the throb of the pulse that ran through him pick up to double
time. And if it were possible he grow even harder, filling her mouth. His
breathing changed to shallow pants, and his muscular body began to tense. Aviva
watched as Jason threw back his head and gritted his teeth, but she didn’t let
up, pumping him, sucking him, working him through his climax.

With a plop, Aviva released
Jason from her mouth and rose to her feet. Wrapping her arms around his still
quaking body she pressed her cheek against his chest, as they held each other
close.

When his breathing returned
to normal, Jason unwrapped her arms from around his waist, rearranged his
clothing and picked Aviva up in his arms, returning her to their bed. Bending
his large frame, he braced his hand on either side of her head and kissed her
lips, her forehead and as though unable to help himself, he again joined their
lips, emotions alive in his eyes.

“You know I love you,
right?” Aviva could see the sincerity of his words reflected in his eyes, and
she was glad that she had taken the time to demonstrate a facet of her love for
him.

“I
know, I love you too. But you should go, your brothers are waiting on you.”

With
one last smile and a nod, Jason turned and left the room.

~~~~~~~~~~

Aviva
sprang into action. She knew what she was going to wear. She had already
planned it while pretending to read. Rushing to the closet, she pulled out a
black body suit, she planned to take on their Caribbean vacation despite not
having any real need for it. What woman didn't pack an outfit for a vacation
that was wholly inappropriate but made her look totally fly? Well, this was
hers. She heard a soft knock on the door before the handle turned and
MacKenzie's head appeared.

“They're
gone. We need to head out,” she said, coming fully into the room.

Aviva
welcomed the news but was surprised that MacKenzie thought she was going with
her.

“We?
You don't think you’re going, do you?”

“Of
course, I'm going!”

“MacKenzie,
you're pregnant. Of course, you’re not going!”

“Aviva,
you’re short, and I'm going with you!” she shot back.

“No, I’m
sorry but I can't allow you to do that. I’d never forgive myself if something
happened to you or the baby.”

“Nothing's
going to happen to any of us, so relax.”

“You
don't understand. These people are dangerous, very dangerous.”
